Ye Xuan encounters his old friends Leng Hongmi and Ruan Mengyue, who express their curiosity about the Emperor Road. He shares some of his experiences, acknowledging their past admiration and current achievements. Meanwhile, the Red Sparrow Fairy, the ancestor of the Red Sparrow Institute, senses Ye Xuan's return.

"Emperor Ye, you’re back!"

The girl’s bright eyes lit up, and then, under the bewildered gaze of the high-ranking members of the Red Sparrow Institute, she lifted her skirt and ran to the gate of the Ancestor Hall to look out.

"Ancestor, what’s wrong?"

Gu Shimin, the most senior member, despite her age, appeared as a beautiful woman, dressed in palace attire, quite pleasing to the eye.

Gu Shimin couldn’t help but ask quietly.

Ye Qingyue’s gaze also fell on the Ancestor, who appeared even younger than herself, with some curiosity.

At this moment.

They all sensed a black-robed young man slowly approaching from outside the Ancestor Hall.

"Ye Xuan?!"

Seeing that person, everyone was overjoyed.

"What’s he doing here?"

The Red Sparrow Saintess, Ye Qingyue, was also slightly taken aback, a subtle joy rising in her heart.

"Emperor Ye!"

Then, in the stunned gaze of the crowd, the Ancestor of their Red Sparrow Institute opened her arms and embraced him.

The scene left the onlookers dumbfounded.

What is going on?

Moreover, judging by their demeanor, they seem extraordinarily familiar.

"Could the Ancestor’s revival truly be due to Ye Xuan?"

At this moment, both the Sovereign of the Sect, True Person Honglian, and the most senior member, Gu Shimin, harbored this doubt.

Years ago, when Ye Xuan entered the Red Sparrow Institute, his biggest target was the Ancestor’s remains, yet the remains were taken away by the people from Double Emperor Mountain.

At that time, Ye Xuan directly dispatched people to annihilate Double Emperor Mountain.

But back then, they didn’t understand why Ye Xuan was so furious.

Now, it seems Ye Xuan is not a mere mortal, but a supreme power reincarnated!

Otherwise, how could he be so close to their Ancestor of the Red Sparrow Institute?!

Ye Qingyue witnessed the scene, regained her senses, and her expression became inexplicably complex.

"Where are Little Qiankun and Kuang Nu?"

After murmuring with Little Red Sparrow for a while, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but ask.

Hearing this, Little Red Sparrow scratched her head.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "You haven’t changed your action for when you’re about to lie, have you?"

Little Red Sparrow giggled awkwardly, "Then I won’t say it."

Ye Xuan said, "Did they go somewhere to duel?"

Little Red Sparrow averted her gaze, whispered, "That’s not my business."

Ye Xuan sneered, "Those two really have too much free time."

Little Red Sparrow quickly said, "Don’t say I told you, or they’ll blame me for being disloyal."

Ye Xuan glared at Little Red Sparrow.

Little Red Sparrow shrank back, then, seeing that Ye Xuan wasn’t genuinely angry, she stuck out her tongue playfully, quite adorably.

"So, can you still stay at the Red Sparrow Institute?"

Ye Xuan didn’t linger on the topic, lightly asked.

Little Red Sparrow sighed, "Although I founded this Red Sparrow Institute back in the day, it’s not the same as when I was here before..."

The people of the Red Sparrow Institute at the back couldn’t help but feel downcast upon hearing their Ancestor’s assessment.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly, "The Red Sparrow Institute hasn’t really changed; it’s just the people you’re familiar with are gone, so when you see this Red Sparrow Institute, all you feel is unfamiliarity, right?"

Little Red Sparrow nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that’s exactly how it feels."

"The only shadow of the former Red Sparrow Institute I can still see is Ye Qingyue."

Saying this, Little Red Sparrow waved to Ye Qingyue, signaling her to come over.

"Qing Yue, go quickly."

The other ancestors, seeing the situation, also urged softly, with a trace of envy in their hearts.

It’s wonderful to have the Ancestor’s favor.

Ye Qingyue was still wearing her crimson armor, her hair in a high ponytail, exceptionally poised.

At this moment, Ye Qingyue’s expression was somewhat complex, but she soon suppressed her emotions, approached the two, and first saluted Little Red Sparrow, "Ancestor."

Little Red Sparrow waved dismissively, "You don’t need to be too formal like that day when you first met me, and I don’t like being called that; just call me sister."

"Ancestor, that mustn’t be done!"

Gu Shimin and others, hearing Little Red Sparrow’s words, changed their faces instantly, "Isn’t that confusing the hierarchy!"

Little Red Sparrow glared back, "Mind your business."

Gu Shimin and the others were immediately terrified, "Ancestor, calm your anger!"

Little Red Sparrow sighed and looked at Ye Xuan, "See, I just don’t like this."

Ye Xuan chuckled, "They aren’t wrong."

Little Red Sparrow sighed, "That’s why it’s annoying."

"Fortunately, there’s Qing Yue, otherwise it wouldn’t be so interesting."

Little Red Sparrow looked at Ye Qingyue, eyes smiling.

"Sister."

Ye Qingyue also smiled brightly, her beautiful eyes turned, revealing a hint of slyness, "Actually, I want to call you younger sister."

Little Red Sparrow’s eyes brightened, "That’s great!"

Gu Shimin and others heard such disrespectful words from the two and truly didn’t know what to say.

Gu Shimin could only look toward Ye Xuan for help.

She realized this Ancestor listens to Ye Xuan a lot; perhaps only Ye Xuan can prompt the Ancestor to act properly.

Unfortunately, Ye Xuan paid no heed to Gu Shimin.

Compared to these worldly shackles, Ye Xuan preferred to see Little Red Sparrow happy.

Such matters were unimportant.

Seeing this, Gu Shimin and the others could only sigh silently.

Indeed, Ye Xuan clearly had a better relationship with the Ancestor; how could he speak on their behalf?

"Ye Xuan, long time no see."

Ye Qingyue looked at Ye Xuan, her eyes clear, softly speaking.

Ye Xuan glanced over Ye Qingyue, smiling with narrowed eyes, "Haven’t seen you for so many years, and your cultivation has improved a bit slowly, hasn’t it? Not even at the Immortal Realm yet?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingyue was almost furious...

She was the most talented person in the Red Sparrow Institute these years, having advanced from the Heavenly Human Realm to the Immortal Realm in less than ten years, yet Ye Xuan deemed it slow growth!?

Ye Qingyue gritted her teeth and glared at Ye Xuan, "Do you think everyone is a monster like you? If everyone were compared to you, how could anyone survive!"

"You know each other?"

Little Red Sparrow, seeing the two bickering, was taken aback.

Ye Qingyue hooked Little Red Sparrow’s arm, pointing at Ye Xuan, "You do not know, this guy is incredibly annoying, and he has such a wicked tongue; he even wanted to make me his maid before!"

Little Red Sparrow blinked, looked at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan remained calm, smiling broadly, "Little Red Sparrow, do you think she has the ability to be my maid?"

Little Red Sparrow wanted to nod but feared hurting Ye Qingyue’s self-esteem, so she blinked and said, "Yes."

She immediately felt something was off.

Ye Qingyue beside her couldn’t help but stamp her foot.

Ye Xuan shot a glance at Ye Qingyue and then said, "Then I won’t take her."

It was merely a joke once before.

"Bah!" Ye Qingyue snorted coldly.

"Little Red Sparrow, come home with me."

Ye Xuan stopped teasing Ye Qingyue and instead spoke to Little Red Sparrow.

After all, if they’re family, they should recognize their home.
