Chapter 94: All Dead.

 

South Tian Qi said, “This matter still depends on Young Master Ye’s own wishes.”

The man in the golden robe nodded, “Of course.”

South Tian Qi said, “I’ll ask him later.”

After speaking, she turned and left.

A group of powerful Tianlong clan members hurriedly followed her out. In the hall, South Yuan dismissed everyone, keeping only South Tian Si and South Tian Qing.

South Yuan looked at South Tian Si and South Tian Qing before him, “Our Ancient Civilization needs unity.”

South Tian Si smiled, “Father, rest assured, we two aren’t so inconsiderate. If we were to fight among ourselves at a time like this, we would truly deserve to be destroyed by the Guanxuan Universe.”

South Yuan nodded, his face full of satisfaction.

As a father, many times he feared his children wouldn’t be outstanding, but he also feared them all being too outstanding, because if they were all too excellent, it could lead to a situation of family members turning against each other.

South Yuan asked, “What do you think of that Young Master Ye?”

South Tian Qing suddenly smiled, “Sister Qi doesn’t actually have any engagement with him, right?”

South Yuan nodded.

South Tian Qing frowned slightly, “Then this matter could be dangerous.”

South Yuan and South Tian Si looked at South Tian Qing. Seeing the confusion in their eyes, South Tian Qing smiled slightly, “You don’t really think Sister Qi can truly end up with this Young Master Ye, do you?”

South Yuan said, “Qi’er is very outstanding.”

South Tian Qing said, “That’s the biggest problem, because she’s too outstanding, too smart. Simply put, her purpose in approaching Young Master Ye isn’t pure. To put it even more simply, she’s investing in Young Master Ye.”

South Tian Si suddenly smiled, “I think I understand now.”

South Tian Qing nodded, “Men are often strange, especially outstanding men. They particularly like to deceive themselves. Many times they think women approach them for their money, while they themselves hope women follow them not for their money but because they like them as a person…”

As she spoke, she smiled and continued, “Without a doubt, this Young Master Ye will be clear-headed. He will know that between him and Sister Qi, it’s just a transaction. Sister Qi might pretend to be in love with him for benefits and actually marry him, but this Young Master Ye may not necessarily agree. Even if he does, it might not end well in the future.”

South Yuan’s brows furrowed.

South Tian Qing continued, “Therefore, I suggest father talk with Sister Qi. Tell her this engagement is just for show, made for outsiders, and doesn’t require an actual marriage. This respects both Sister Qi and Young Master Ye, preventing him from thinking we would use our kindness to coerce him.”

South Yuan said solemnly, “This person is very outstanding. If he could join our Ancient Civilization, for us…”

“Father!”

South Tian Qing suddenly interrupted South Yuan, “The more we respect him, the less we coerce him, the more guilty he will feel, and the more grateful he will be. In other words, when dealing with a valuable good person, we can be good to him ‘without purpose.’ The more we do this, the more purposeless it seems, the more uncomfortable he will feel, and the more he will try to repay us!”

South Tian Si looked at South Tian Qing and shook his head. These two sisters, one more cunning than the other.

South Yuan also looked at South Tian Qing with some shock, but South Tian Qing remained calm, “This approach is good for us, good for him and Sister Qi, a win-win-win situation.”

South Yuan nodded slightly, “What you say makes sense. If we coerce him with the engagement now, it might make him uncomfortable. If that happens, it would be unfortunate.”

South Tian Qing said, “There’s one more thing, regarding the Guanxuan Universe matter. We shouldn’t spread it around, especially about Young Master Ye defeating Yang Jia.”

South Yuan asked, “What do you mean?”

South Tian Qing said, “If our Ancient Civilization does this, it will undoubtedly anger the Guanxuan Universe. At this time, it’s not advisable to provoke them. However, we also can’t let the Guanxuan Universe off easily. We can let other universe civilizations spread this news. This way, we can strike at the Guanxuan Universe while also creating momentum for Young Master Ye Tianming.”

South Yuan said solemnly, “Doing so would put that Young Master Ye at the center of attention.”

South Tian Qing said, “That’s exactly what we want. Dad, you must understand, from the moment he defeated Yang Jia in the Guanxuan Universe, the destined battle between him and Yang Jia as Chosen Ones began. This is their fate, and they will eventually face each other again.”

South Yuan nodded slightly, “Do as you suggest.”

Shortly after, South Tian Qing and South Tian Si left the hall.

The siblings stood at the entrance of the hall, and South Tian Qing suddenly smiled, “What do you think about the Ancient Divine Tower submitting to Sister Qi?”

South Tian Si said, “It’s an opportunity she gambled her life for. She deserves it.”

South Tian Qing turned to look at South Tian Si and smiled, “Your real thoughts?”

South Tian Si laughed heartily, “What do you mean? Those are my real thoughts.”

South Tian Qing asked again, “What do you think of Ye Tianming?”

South Tian Si said, “What else can I think? He was able to defeat Yang Jia at the same level, which already proves his strength and talent. I certainly don’t have confidence that I could defeat Yang Jia at the same level, haha!”

South Tian Qing smiled, “Big brother, you hide things quite deeply.”

Only those with absolute confidence in themselves don’t envy others.

South Tian Si chuckled, “The feeling is mutual.”

South Tian Qing suddenly became serious, “From what I know, he was able to defeat Yang Jia for two reasons. One is because of the sword in his hand, and the other is because of the ‘Law of All Beings’ created by his teacher…”

The smile gradually disappeared from South Tian Si’s face. He turned to look at South Tian Qing, “You have ideas?”

South Tian Qing said, “Not just me, father and everyone else should have ideas too. Don’t you have any thoughts, big brother?”

“No!”

South Tian Si said, “Ninth sister, you said earlier that little Qi is too smart for her own good, but so are you. Let me give you some advice, for your own sake and for our Ancient Civilization: those dangerous thoughts in your mind, never have them again.”

South Tian Qing looked at South Tian Si, who said seriously, “First, his teacher being able to create such an incredible law proves he’s no ordinary person. The teacher might have contingency plans. Second, I don’t know what sword Ye Tianming was holding, but I know what sword Yang Jia had. It was the Qingxuan Sword, supposedly the number one sword in the Guanxuan Universe. In reality, across all universes, few divine objects can match it, yet Young Master Ye’s sword suppressed it. Third…”

At this point, he suddenly smiled, “As people, we should use fewer schemes and be more sincere. That’s better than anything. Ye Tianming hasn’t harmed our Ancient Civilization, so we shouldn’t harbor any malicious thoughts.”

After speaking, he walked away.

Left alone, South Tian Qing remained silent for a moment before breaking into a smile and quickly disappearing into the distance.

When Ye Tianming woke up, he found himself in a room. The room wasn’t very large, but it was cozy, emitting a faint fragrance. Judging by the decor, it seemed to be a woman’s room.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Ye Tianming said, “Come in.”

South Tian Qi entered and walked to Ye Tianming’s side, “Are you feeling better?”

Ye Tianming nodded slightly.

South Tian Qi looked at Ye Tianming, hesitating to speak.

Ye Tianming looked at South Tian Qi, “Is it about my Ye family?”

South Tian Qi nodded slightly. She chose not to conceal anything and told him about the Ye family’s situation. The news she received was that the entire Ye clan had been exterminated.

Upon hearing that his entire family had been executed, Ye Tianming’s face remained expressionless, his eyes showing no fluctuation.

South Tian Qi was concerned, “You…”

Ye Tianming said, “Miss Qi, I’d like to be alone.”

South Tian Qi hesitated, then nodded, “Alright.”

After speaking, she turned and left.

After South Tian Qi left, Ye Tianming slowly got up. He went to the stone steps outside the room and sat down, silent.

After a very long time, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and he said softly, “Tower Ancestor, Teacher is dead, Senior Sister is dead, Big Brother and Ye Zong and Sister-in-law are all dead… I have no family left in this world.”
