The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2115 - 2112: Someone Is Held in the Heart

After congratulating the newlyweds once more, Ye Xuan excused himself and left.

He found a small path and headed up the mountain.

Before reaching the summit, he encountered familiar faces at a place halfway up the mountain.

Leng Hongmi and Ruan Mengyue.

As usual, both of them were wearing bright red robes, and Leng Hongmi still radiated a striking cold beauty.

Meanwhile, Ruan Mengyue had a flame-like mark on her forehead and maintained a soft smile.

"Ye Xuan!?"

Seeing Ye Xuan, both were a bit taken aback.

They seemed not to have anticipated that Ye Xuan, now too powerful for them to even aspire to, would return to the Red Sparrow Institute.

Ye Xuan saw them and said with a smile, "Why aren’t you with that little girl Ye Qingyue today?"

The three were famously known as a tight trio in the Red Sparrow Institute, practically inseparable.

"She..."

Leng Hongmi was about to explain but was nudged by Ruan Mengyue, quickly changing her tone, "She’s in seclusion."

Ruan Mengyue, concerned that Ye Xuan might press further, shifted the topic: "When did you return from the East Desolate?"

Ye Xuan saw through their little movements and didn’t expose them, replying with a smile, "It’s been a while now."

"Well..."

Leng Hongmi hesitated for a moment but couldn’t help her curiosity and nervously asked, "Ye Xuan, could you tell us about the scenery on the Emperor Road?"

In fact, before Ye Xuan had returned, they secretly discussed this topic several times.

Frankly speaking, although they knew Ye Xuan was incredibly formidable, they hadn’t expected him to progress so rapidly and reach such heights.

They couldn’t keep up with his pace at all.

Especially when they heard that Ye Xuan was the first to walk the Emperor Road, they weren’t shocked but rather felt a bit lost.

They even wondered if Ye Xuan was truly the same person they knew.

The distance between them had grown overwhelmingly vast.

They had continuously put in effort in private, but the fact proved that some distances can’t be closed through mere effort.

You may work hard, but instead, the gap widens.

During that period, they felt discouraged.

Yet Ye Qingyue constantly comforted them, saying that Ye Xuan was a monster; it’s not just in the East Desolate, how many in all of Daozhou could keep up with him?

Those ranked thirteenth and twelfth on the Mystic Yellow List of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, Wu Ting and Ziwei Saint respectively, what exceptional talents they were!

They were renowned in Daozhou early on, but so what?

In the end, they were easily surpassed by Ye Xuan.

How could they compare to someone like Ye Xuan?

This kind of comforting, despite being akin to a blow, indeed came from Red Sparrow Saintess Ye Qingyue.

Moreover, it worked well; since that day, neither of them belittled themselves, remaining steady and stable, and have now become Great Cultivators of the Saint Realm.

Despite being far, far away from the summit’s grandeur, they stood firm on the ground.

This was already good.

But at this moment.

Upon seeing Ye Xuan again, deep within their hearts, the long-dormant excitement seemed to resurface.

"Don’t laugh at us, okay? We may never witness the splendor of the Emperor Road in our lifetime, but we’re still very curious about it."

Leng Hongmi was worried Ye Xuan might mock her, adding this sentence.

Ye Xuan certainly understood Leng Hongmi’s thoughts.

Actually, every cultivator harbors an obsession.

Especially the young ones.

Having dreams when young, to reach the pinnacle of the Cultivation World.

And to achieve all this, the Emperor Road is a necessary path.

But entering the Cultivation World, one realizes how distant a term like the Emperor Road truly is.

Many spend their entire lives, not even stepping onto the Emperor Road, merely seeing it is a luxury.

Yet that trace of obsession in the heart, how could it be easily relinquished?

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said, "The Emperor Road is splendid, but also not."

"How so?"

Ruan Mengyue’s curiosity was also piqued.

Leng Hongmi gazed at Ye Xuan eagerly, hoping he would explain.

Ye Xuan chuckled, willing to spend time telling them about the allure of the Emperor Road.

The two listened with faces full of yearning.

They too wished to witness the unrivaled beauty of the Emperor Road.

But alas, it’s an aspiration.

However, when Ye Xuan mentioned the battles at the summit, where even those in the Great Saint Realm could perish, their expressions turned shocked.

Great Saint Realm!

In their eyes, such a realm was purely legend; weren’t beings of such a realm immortal, how could they die?

Ye Xuan conveyed the good and the bad to the two.

Finally concluding, "Actually, you are better than the Emperor Road."

Ruan Mengyue couldn’t help but smile lightly.

Leng Hongmi rolled her eyes grandly.

"Alright, the chat’s over, I’m leaving."

Ye Xuan waved his hand and stepped away.

"Hey Ye Xuan!" Leng Hongmi called out to Ye Xuan.

Ruan Mengyue also looked up at Ye Xuan.

"What’s up?"

Ye Xuan turned back to look at Leng Hongmi.

Leng Hongmi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately summoned the courage to ask, "Will we have the chance to meet again in the future?"

Ye Xuan twisted his head and left.

Leng Hongmi couldn’t help but glare.

"You’re not dead, why wouldn’t there be a chance."

Ye Xuan’s voice steadily drifted back.

Leng Hongmi immediately broke into a grin but quickly composed herself, saying, "Can’t you say something nice?"

Ye Xuan ignored Leng Hongmi and vanished along the mountain path.

"He seems different, yet somehow he seems unchanged."

Ruan Mengyue murmured quietly.

Leng Hongmi huffed, "The one thing that hasn’t changed is that annoying grin of his, it’s really detestable."

Ruan Mengyue smiled, "It seems like you’ve always kept him in mind, haven’t you?"

Leng Hongmi didn’t expect Ruan Mengyue to ask this, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she didn’t know how to respond.

Ruan Mengyue gently held Leng Hongmi’s jade hand, whispered, "Actually, Qing Yue and I are the same..."

Leng Hongmi looked astonished, "So you two also..."

Ruan Mengyue glanced toward Ye Xuan’s departure direction, smiling faintly, "A man like him, who wouldn’t like him? But it’s good to simply keep that feeling; he aims to be a world-conquering overlord, it’s impossible for him to stop for us, and we’re not qualified anyway."

"On this note, I truly envy Zhou Youwei."

Upon hearing this, Leng Hongmi’s eyes dimmed slightly, saying with some loss, "Zhou Youwei, whether in appearance or talent, we can’t compare. Some say her strength is no less than Ye Xuan’s."

Ruan Mengyue softly replied, "It’s also nice to watch from afar."

Leng Hongmi nodded, appearing a bit lost, unclear if she truly listened or not.

At this moment.

Ye Xuan was heading to the Red Sparrow Institute’s Ancestor Hall.

Inside the Ancestor Hall.

Ye Qingyue, along with her master and ancient ancestors like Gu Shimin and Yao Tianfeng, were in the Ancestor Hall.

At the top seat in the Ancestor Hall sat a beautiful young girl in a red maple leaf dress.

However, everyone maintained their respect toward this girl.

Ye Qingyue wasn’t too afraid and sneakily sized up this girl.

The girl was none other than Red Sparrow Fairy.

Also the ancestor of the Red Sparrow Institute.

The girl, looking bored, scanned the respectful crowd below, her gaze settling on Ye Qingyue.

No wonder her legacy only recognized this girl, it seemed only this girl suited her.

At this moment.

The girl’s eyes lit up.

"Brother Emperor Ye has returned!"
