Chapter 4002: Meeting Yang Qian Ye Again

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The result of Ye Ying Cai’s visit to the Fu clan was exactly like Duan Ling Tian had predicted. Ye Ying Cai confirmed that Fu Qi was indeed his twin brother, and Fu Qi’s mother was also his mother. Naturally, after that, he found out about his past.

Ye Ying Cai and Fu Qi’s mother’s name was Fu Xiao Feng. She was the only daughter of the former Clan Leader of the Fu clan, and the younger sister of the current Clan Leader of the Fu clan. In the past, she married into a lord-rank force in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Alas, that disaster landed on that lord-rank force, and as a result, her husband died in the process of protecting her. Her husband was, needless to say, the father of Ye Ying Cai and Fu Qi. Not many people were aware that the couple had twin sons. In order not to arouse the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice’s suspicion, her husband kept Ye Ying Cai with him and sent her and Fu Qi away.

“All these years, I thought you followed your father into the afterlife. I really regret leaving you behind back then. I’m sorry, I’m really sorry,” Fu Xiao Feng said. Her tears streamed down her face as she looked at Ye Ying Cai. Not even in her wildest dream did she imagine she would be able to meet her other son. After all, she did not think there was a chance for him to survive.

At this time, Ye Ying Cai had also confirmed with Ye Chen Feng that Ye Chen Feng had saved him after his father perished.

However, Ye Chen Feng only told Ye Ying Cai about where he had saved Ye Ying Cai and did not say anything about those who murdered his father.

Even then, Ye Chen Feng’s words were enough to confirm the truth of Fu Xiao Feng’s words. After all, the lord-rank force Ye Chen Feng mentioned matched the lord-rank force Fu Xiao Feng mentioned.

“Mother…..”

Although Ye Ying Cai was not as emotional as his mother, his eyes were red, and his body was stiff. He looked at his newly found mother at a loss, not knowing how to comfort her.

At this time, Fu Qi finally said, “Mother, it’s not your fault. At that time, the circ.u.mstances only allowed you to bring one of us away. If we could return to the past, I’m willing to be the one left behind… I’m sure my younger brother understands this as well…”

As Fu Qi spoke, he looked at Ye Ying Cai with a complicated gaze. He also did not expect Ye Ying Cai to be his younger twin brother whom he a.s.sumed died thousands of years ago.

After calming down slightly, Fu Xiao Feng’s expression changed slightly as she asked, “Child, what happened to you back then? How did you survive? Surely those wicked people from the Alliance of Benevolence of Justice didn’t adopt you and raise you, right?”

“No,” Ye Ying Cai replied as he shook his head. When his mother mentioned the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice, he instinctively clenched his hands as his eyes flashed coldly.

Duan Ling Tian, who was standing at the side, could clearly sense the killing intent that Ye Ying Cai emanated at this moment.

Fu Xiao Feng sighed in relief upon hearing Ye Ying Cai’s reply. After that, she asked him questions about his life during all those years in the past. When she found out that he was saved by the founder of the Hidden Sword faction in the Pure Yang Sect, Ye Chen Feng, she was surprised and felt happy for him at the same time.

Fu Qi and Fu Ya’er, who were standing at the side, were stunned when they heard this as well.

Fu Ya’er, who seemed even more shocked than Fu Qi, turned to Duan Ling Tian and asked, “Duan Ling Tian, are you also from the Pure Yang Sect?”

“Duan Ling Tian? Wait! You’re that Duan Ling Tian from the Pure Yang Sect?” Fu Xiao Feng turned to look at the purple-clad young man who had accompanied her son, whom she thought was dead, here. She did not expect that the purple-clad young man was the famous prodigy from the Pure Yang Sect.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian’s fame was no longer limited to the Eastern Ridge Mansion. In the neighboring Green Province Mansion, many people, including those in Snow Forest City’s Fu clan, had already heard about Duan Ling Tian.

Fu Xiao Feng had heard about Duan Ling Tian from her eldest brother, the Clan Leader of the Fu clan, previously. She heard that Duan Ling Tian had defeated the Wanqi clan’s Wanqi Hong, the top prodigy in the Eastern Ridge Mansion.

“Greetings, Madam,” Duan Ling Tian greeted politely with a slight nod.

“Aunt, you, you know him? Is he famous?” Fu Ya’er asked in confusion.

Coincidentally, Fu Ya’er and Fu Qi were one of the few who had yet to hear about Duan Ling Tian.

Fu Xiao Feng shook her head and said with a smile, “You’ve heard of Wanqi Hong from the Wanqi clan in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, right?”

Wanqi Hong had been acknowledged as the top prodigy in the Eastern Ridge Mansion for a long time, after all. It was only natural that his fame surpa.s.sed that of Duan Ling Tian at this moment. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian had only defeated him about ten years ago so Duan Ling Tian’s fame was not as widespread as his.

“I’ve heard of him,” Fu Ya’er said with a nod, “He’s the top cultivator under the age of 10,000 in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. He’s quite famous.”

After that, Fu Xiao Feng said, “Ten years ago, in the Eastern Ridge Mansion’s Seven Kills Valley, a young man younger than 3,000 years old defeated Wanqi Hong, becoming the top prodigy among the younger generation in the Eastern Ridge Mansion.”

Fu Ya’er and Fu Qi’s expressions changed as soon as they heard Fu Xiao Feng’s words.

“The top prodigy among the younger generation in the Eastern Ridge Mansion has changed? Moreover, the person who defeated Wanqi Hong isn’t even 3,000 years old? Aunt, are you sure? Why didn’t I hear anything about this?” Fu Ya’er asked skeptically.

Meanwhile, Fu Qi had already turned to look at Duan Ling Tian. Although his mother did not mention the name of the top prodigy among the younger generation in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, it was clear that his mother was talking about Duan Ling Tian. His mother would not have mentioned this matter if it had nothing to do with Duan Ling Tian. He was clearly more quick-witted than Fu Ya’er.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask around,” Fu Xiao Feng looked at Fu Ya’er dotingly as she said, “How come you’re slow? Didn’t it occur to you why would I bring up this matter at this moment?”

Fu Ya’er was not stupid. She was just too shocked. With her aunt’s reminder, she turned to look at Duan Ling Tian with widened eyes as she exclaimed, “You mean to say he’s… he’s the one who defeated Wanqi Hong ten years ago? He’s the young cultivator who became the top prodigy in the Eastern Ridge Mansion before turning 3,000 years old?”

“That’s right,” Fu Xiao Feng said with a nod, “I heard that Duan Ling Tian is from the Pure Yang Sect. Not only is his name Duan Ling Tian, but he’s also from the Pure Yang Sect like my son… It’s not hard to figure it out…”

Although Fu Xiao Feng was certain of her guess, she still looked at Ye Ying Cai for confirmation.

Ye Ying Cai nodded. “It’s him…”

After the reveal, Fu Qi, Fu Xiao Feng, and Fu Ya’er no longer treated Duan Ling Tian normally like before. Instead, they treated him as an important guest.

Duan Ling Tian could not endure such treatment and hurriedly found an excuse to leave the Fu clan’s estate. At the same time, he wanted to give Ye Ying Cai, who had just been reunited with his family, privacy as well. As he left, he thought to himself, ‘From today onward, the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice has gained a new enemy. Although the individual strength of the prodigy from the Pure Yang Sect’s Hidden Sword faction isn’t that high, his support is very strong…’

With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian inevitably thought about Ye Chen Feng. He could not shake off the feeling that Ye Ying Cai’s reunion with his family was orchestrated by Ye Chen Feng. He could not help but wonder if Ye Chen Feng simply wanted Ye Ying Cai to meet his family or if Ye Chen Feng wanted to motivate Ye Ying Cai using Ye Ying Cai’s past.

‘If it’s the latter…. Isn’t the pressure too heavy?’

Although Ye Ying Cai remained relatively calm, Duan Ling Tian knew Ye Ying Cai was not as calm as he seemed. Although being reunited with his family was a joyous matter for Ye Ying Cai, finding out his father’s murderer was from a powerful force would surely pressure him.

Duan Ling Tian continued to wander the streets of Snow Forest City after leaving the Fu clan’s estate. He bought a few things before he finally made his way back to the inn. As soon as he returned to the inn, he saw a figure at the inn’s entrance.

Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian, the figure walked over.

“Hm?”

As the figure drew closer, Duan Ling Tian finally had a better look. He discovered the other party was Yang Qian Ye whom he had met when he was still in the Flying Dragon Sect.

At that time, Yang Qian Ye had come to the Flying Dragon Sect with a group of Spirit Void Elders from the Pure Yang Sect, one of which was Qin Wu Yang, to recruit Duan Ling Tian.

Although Duan Ling Tian had heard about Yang Qian Ye since his time in the Hidden Fog Sect, he only met Yang Qian Ye for the first time in the Flying Dragon Sect.

Seeing Yang Qian Ye walking over, Duan Ling Tian frowned slightly and wondered, ‘Did something happen?’

Previously, before leaving the Pure Yang Sect for the Seven Mansions Feast, Duan Ling Tian had caught a brief glimpse of Yang Qian Ye boarding the Tyrannic Saber faction’s flying s.h.i.+p. After all, the Ping Sheng faction had a better relations.h.i.+p with the Tyrannic Saber faction. The two founders shared the same master, after all.

“Duan Ling Tian,” Yang Qian Ye said expressionlessly, “Tell Long Qing Chong, the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, that I’ll personally avenge my father in the future!”

“Avenge your father?” Duan Ling Tian frowned, puzzled. He was aware that Yang Qian Ye’s father was Lan Qing, the Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect. He also knew that the father and son had different surnames because Lan Qing wanted to honor his wife by letting his son bear his late wife’s surname.

“Apart from that, there’ll come a day when I’ll be able to defeat you,” Yang Qian Ye continued to say frostily.

Duan Ling Tian could tell that Yang Qian Ye was different from before. In fact, when they were departing from the Pure Yang Sect, he could already vaguely sense that Yang Qian Ye was different, but he did not dwell on it. Now that Yang Qian Ye was standing in front of him, the feeling became even more intense.
