Changxi spent a sleepless night contemplating Ye Xuan's proposal, but her doubts prevented her from answering. The next day, she returned home early, overcome with sadness and preparing a meal for two, which she ate alone, weeping. As dusk fell, Ye Xuan returned, and seeing him, Changxi's sorrow turned to joy. She asked again if she could enter his world, and after Ye Xuan offered her some grilled meat, she experienced a surge of power, breaking through to the Prince realm. Ye Xuan then instructed her to call him 'Master' instead of 'Brother Emperor Ye'.

"From now on, you can’t call him Emperor Ye brother anymore."

"You have to call him... Master."

Ye Xuan looked at Changxi with a smile and gently tapped the void.

Buzz————

The next moment.

Changxi slowly landed, and that violent power stabilized at this moment.

Changxi’s ascent to the Prince realm also gradually retreated at this moment.

When Changxi landed, she returned to the First Layer of the Reach Profound Realm.

Body Refinement Realm was naturally crossed directly.

"Ma...ster?"

Changxi looked at Ye Xuan, murmured softly, her eyes were somewhat complicated.

Ye Xuan nodded and said, "Correct, from now on, you are my disciple."

Changxi was both happy and disappointed.

She lowered her head and whispered, "I just want to call you Emperor Ye brother."

Ye Xuan naturally understood the little girl’s feelings and smiled, "That is no problem, as long as you know in your heart that I am your master."

Hearing these words, Changxi was so happy that she directly threw herself into Ye Xuan’s arms.

Thus.

Changxi became Ye Xuan’s disciple.

Of course.

In Changxi’s heart, Ye Xuan was more of a beloved.

She liked him.

From the beginning to end, although they had the reality of master and disciple, they had no title.

Because Changxi never called him master.

She always called him Emperor Ye brother.

After accepting Changxi as his disciple.

Ye Xuan did not take her directly away into the so-called Cultivation World, but stayed here accompanying Changxi.

Teaching her how to use the power she gained to make her work easier.

The days were poor.

Fortunately, neither of them minded.

Moreover, for Changxi.

Having Ye Xuan’s company was good enough.

In her gray and white days, there was the radiance of light.

Plus what Ye Xuan taught her, letting her master powerful strength.

But they still maintained their previous lifestyle.

Working at sunrise, resting at sunset.

...

A year later.

On that low hill not far from the hut, there were two graves very close to each other.

Changxi was still in clean and simple white clothes, squatting on the ground, holding soil in both hands, and then gently opening her hands, letting the fresh soil slide down through her fingers.

She was adding soil to her parents’ graves.

This was a rule taught to her by Emperor Ye brother.

After adding the soil, Changxi stepped back a bit and then knelt and bowed three times to the two graves.

"Father, Mother, Xiao Xi is leaving, Emperor Ye brother is taking me to see the wider sky. Xiao Xi will come back to visit you in the future."

Changxi stood up, a gentle smile on her charming face.

From afar, Ye Xuan was leaning against a big tree, silently watching that scene.

Changxi turned back, her smiling eyes bending as she looked at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan returned the smile: "Let’s go."

Changxi brushed off the dust on her white clothes, reached out to hold Ye Xuan’s hand, her head slightly nodded.

Changxi bid farewell to her parents and left with Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan held Changxi’s jade hand, taking a step forward.

The entire mountain quickly shrank in Changxi’s view.

Then, she saw the world outside the mountain.

And saw how small the mountain was compared to this world.

Ye Xuan took her to see the heavens and the earth.

To see the brutality of the Cultivation World.

To see the changes in the Mortal Dynasty.

To see the suffering of the world.

To see the fire of the Human World.

To see various worldly states.

...

During that time, Ye Xuan also took Changxi to the Ancient Great World.

To see that youth at Eternal Mountain in East Mountain Continent.

The youth was full of spirit, very talented, and honest.

The youth was named Mu Yun.

"Emperor Ye brother, why don’t we go see him?"

Changxi followed by Ye Xuan’s side, a bit puzzled.

Ye Xuan smiled and said to wait and see.

Changxi asked again: "If Emperor Ye brother takes a fancy to him, won’t he become Xiao Xi’s junior brother in the future?"

Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

...

Later on.

There were two people beside Ye Xuan.

Changxi, Mu Yun.

Mu Yun respected his Master and valued the Dao, showing great respect towards both Ye Xuan and Changxi.

The bond between Changxi and Ye Xuan became more profound.

However, they never pierced that layer of veil.

Until later, when Changxi entered the Heavenly Human Realm, overcame the Heavenly Human Five Decays, and moved to the Heavenly God Realm.

This tribulation, for the extraordinarily talented Changxi, wasn’t difficult.

It could even be said to be quite easy.

But Changxi almost perished.

Ye Xuan saw that scene and intervened to save Changxi, sighing softly.

Changxi lay in Ye Xuan’s arms, reaching out to caress Ye Xuan’s face, seemingly close yet so far away.

Changxi’s eyes were dazed, tears streaming down the corner of her eyes.

"In truth, Xiao Xi has no desire to grow stronger, Xiao Xi only wishes to be with Emperor Ye brother."

Through this tribulation, she expressed her thoughts to Ye Xuan: "If Emperor Ye brother does not wish, then do not save Xiao Xi."

Ye Xuan’s Dao Heart, sealed for long years, even having betrayed the worldly Empress Xia Xinyan, seemed to welcome a ray of light at this moment.

He said nothing, silently treating Changxi.

Changxi stopped Ye Xuan, somewhat sadly saying, "Emperor Ye brother, I want to hear you say it."

Ye Xuan reached to wipe away Changxi’s tears, gently saying one word:

"Okay."

With just this word, their true beginning was signified.

Changxi’s wish was fulfilled, finally smiling happily.

Afterward, Changxi exhibited an unprecedented cultivation speed.

Without the heart knot, she blossomed with her deserved brilliance.

Ye Xuan, while accompanying this girl who was both his disciple and Dao companion, sped up his plans.

He found the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons, intending to use them later to suppress this Monster Body.

Stories of the past.

Relying solely on brief words.

Cannot fully express.

But during those years, Ye Xuan was indeed very happy, and rarely opened his heart.

Perhaps because he knew he was soon able to escape this Monster Body and return to his true body.

Perhaps because of being accompanied hand in hand with Changxi.

Various reasons.

Also led to Ye Xuan’s Dao Heart having very noticeable flaws during that period.

This, Ye Xuan was actually aware of.

But this flaw was caused by Changxi, so he didn’t plan to patch it.

And this.

Was probably the biggest reason he was betrayed by the Double Emperors back then?

Perhaps so.

Ye Xuan likes to reflect.

In the later years, after reversing this time frame a bit and thinking little by little, he felt that indeed many areas had issues.

This story.

Only Changxi and he knew.

This is also why when the Emperor Soul awakened, he still didn’t quite believe Changxi’s betrayal.

Meeting Changxi at the Heavenly Domain Gate of the Ghost Great World.

That meeting was filled with endless coldness.

Very unfamiliar.

Until he saw the nine-colored figure in the Time Disk and Taixu Pearl.

But is this an excuse?

He doesn’t think so.

Because Changxi before used to value him more than herself.

No reason could be enough for Changxi to betray him.

But the result was betrayal.

Was this merely because of the nine-colored figure?

Perhaps not.

So when he came to the Heavenly Domain, he first went to the Chaoyuan Heavenly Pond, hoping for a more detailed answer.

Unfortunately, he didn’t find it.

So he came to the Empress Palace.

ps: These Chapters have seen many readers saying that Old Ghost’s writing seems watered down, but honestly, these Chapters are those that Old Ghost feels most touched by. Although at the start, Changxi and Mu Yun’s betrayal of Ye Xuan was merely a cliché plot at the time of Old Ghost’s setting, writing to this point still needs to consider why Changxi and Mu Yun acted this way. Old Ghost is giving himself an answer, also hoping to provide everyone with a satisfying answer, wishing that Old Ghost’s writing will keep improving and readers will continue to enjoy it. All right, finished!
