Three months after the Battle of the Imperial Capital, Ye Wushuang, who had vanished without a trace, was rumored by all factions in the capital to have perished.
Yet, against all odds, Ye Wushuang awoke.
The news spread like wildfire, sparking endless discussions in every corner of the streets and alleys.
In the present-day Qingtian City,
the Imperial Qing Clan and the Ye Clan stand as the only two major forces remaining.
Many suspect that the Ye Clan will not halt its advance, and will utterly sweep away the Imperial Qing Clan, unifying the entire Qingyun Empire under its rule!
This has caused great concern within the Imperial family.
On this day, within the Imperial Palace of the capital,
Qing Shiyu accompanied Ye Wushuang to the palace,
with Shi Wuheng and Shi Wuque following closely behind.
Ye Wushuang, noticing their persistent presence, couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said, “I’m just going to have a chat with Qing Muyuan. Can’t you two stop being so obtrusive?”
Shi Wuheng felt a pang of bitterness within.
He was, after all, one of the six mountain masters of Lingjian Mountain, a true giant at the Guiyuan realm, a peak-level figure in the Qingzhou region.
His brother Shi Wuque, though not a mountain master, was still a figure of great importance within Lingjian Mountain, second only to the chief mountain master and the six mountain masters.
Now, the two brothers, serving as Ye Wushuang’s guards, were being dismissed as bothersome.
“Master Ye…” Shi Wuheng said with a hint of bitterness, “Master Suiyin has ordered us to stay by your side at all times…”
“This Suiyin…”
Ye Wushuang waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
With that, the group arrived at the palace gate.
At this moment, at the entrance of the Imperial Palace, Zhen Shanwang Qing Shanya and Princess Qing Mengli had already gathered with the commanders of the imperial guards, waiting for them.
“Master Ye!”
Qing Shanya greeted Ye Wushuang with a respectful bow.
Previously, he had regarded Ye Wushuang as a top-notch talent among the younger generation.
But now, Ye Wushuang’s status and power had surpassed even his own.
“Prince Zhen Shanwang is too polite,” Ye Wushuang returned the bow.
Qing Shiyu, standing beside Ye Wushuang, supported him and playfully stuck out her tongue and blinked at her father.
Princess Qing Mengli also stepped forward and said, “Earlier, my husband returned to the Jujian Sect but was detained by Sect Master Jian Lingtian, which is why he couldn’t come to assist…”
“I understand,” Ye Wushuang waved his hand.
At that moment, Qing Shiyu stepped forward and handed over a brocade box.
“Aunt, this is the spiritual pill refined by Master Suiyin. It is said to help Protector Mu recover from his injuries…”
Master Suiyin was renowned for his exceptional alchemical skills.
And Suiyin had once been personally tutored by Ye Wushuang.
Originally, Protector Mu Junli’s lingering injuries had been almost completely healed under Ye Wushuang’s care, needing only a final touch.
With this spiritual pill, Mu Junli would be fully restored.
“Thank you!” Qing Mengli breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
After all, with the Jujian Sect’s Lu Shanhai and Wang BoKun having targeted Ye Wushuang, she had genuinely feared that Ye Wushuang might refuse to help her husband over this matter.
But seeing the pill, Qing Mengli was truly reassured.
Qing Shanya then said with a smile, “The emperor is already waiting for you, Master Ye!”
The group entered the palace and soon arrived at a royal garden.
Within the garden, a hundred flowers were in full bloom, their fragrance pleasing to the senses.
Qing Muyuan greeted them from afar with a beaming smile, “Congratulations on your awakening, Master Ye. Are you feeling well?”
“I’m fine, but it will take some time to fully recover,” Ye Wushuang replied.
“That’s good, that’s good,” Qing Muyuan said, immediately arranging for some wine and dishes. “Please, have a seat.”
At that moment, the old emperor Qing Tianwen also made his appearance.
Everyone took their seats.
Shi Wuheng and Shi Wuque stood behind Ye Wushuang like two gate deities, their imposing presence making Qing Tianwen, Qing Muyuan, and the others extremely uneasy.
It was like a group of farmers sitting down to eat, with two fierce tigers crouching beside them, watching.
Who could possibly feel at ease under such circumstances?
In the end, Ye Wushuang had no choice but to ask the two to wait in a place where they would not be seen by everyone.
After three rounds of wine,
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “I have come today to say a few things.”
Qing Tianwen, Qing Muyuan, Qing Shanya, and Qing Mengli all turned their attention to him.
“Now that the five great families have perished, the Qingyun Empire is left with only the Imperial family and the Ye Clan…”
Qing Muyuan immediately said, “We, the Qing Clan, are willing to step down from the Imperial family, but we hope that… if the Ye Clan takes over the Imperial family, it will allow us to continue to exist within the Qingyun Empire…”
After all, the various empires had varying levels of military strength. If the Ye Clan drove the Qing Clan out, there would truly be nowhere for them to go!
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said, “Do I seem so unreasonable?”
