Chapter 152 – Yao Xie’s Fury and Ye Qingniu’s Wild Laughter
When Qingwu first stepped out of the post, a crowded plaza came into her view. The first couple of teleported batches of soldiers were now standing squarely in lines. Expectantly, she began to search for the person who would welcome their return.
An instant later, a familiar voice sounded out, and made Qingwu shiver, as she was exceedingly thrilled to see this person. It was her grandfather! When she tossed her head forward, she saw that pair of bulging eyes of her grandfather… Uncontrollably, tears welled from her eyes, trickling down along her cheeks. Like crazy, she darted forward and threw herself into Ye Qingniu’s arms.
Meanwhile, Qinghan left Shisan to be in temporary charge of the remaining Mars Prefecture soldiers. He, together with Feng Zi and the other young lords and ladies, directly walked towards Elder Qingniu.
“Grandpa! Grandpa!”
In Ye Qingniu’s tight embrace, Qingwu had suddenly become a spoiled child, as she was crying with tearful eyes, while her body shuddered in overexcitement.
“Ok, my dear little girl, it’s so good to see all of you back! Do you have any injuries, my sweetheart? Alright… please don’t cry. I told you, you’re less beautiful when you cry.” Elder Qingniu gently patted on the back of his granddaughter, while tears were also running down his wrinkled old face. Qingwu’s parents had died years ago, it was her grandfather, Elder Qingniu, who had raised her up. Never had they been parted for such a long time.
“I’m perfectly fine! Don’t worry about me, grandpa!” Taking a deep breath, Qingwu pulled herself together, and broke into a smile. She then grabbed one of her grandfather’s arms, and held onto it tightly.
“Ye Qinghan is here. Respectful elders, nice to meet you all!” Qinghan bowed to Elder Qingniu, while at the same time, he cupped his hands towards the other elders present. When his glance landed on the elders of the Xue Family, however, he stopped and looked at them with the corner of his eyes.
“Glad to meet you, Elder Tianqing, and all the other elders!” Following Qinghan’s polite gesture, Sainan bowed to all the old folks, except for those from the Xue Family.
Likewise, Feng Zi, Hua Cao, and Qingcheng all followed suit. Amid all the passionate greetings, the Xue Family members were snubbed, as if the young lords and ladies didn’t even see them.
“Humph!” The great elder of the Xue Family thundered, for he was so worried about their young leader, and he had intended to inquire Sainan and the others of the current state of Wuhen. Yet, he received coldness from the young lords and ladies, which made him pissed off. Because of Elder Qingniu’s presence, however, he restrained himself from losing his temper.
“Hehe, what a relief to see all of you coming out safe and secure!” Without comforting the long-faced elders of the Xue Family, Elder Qingniu turned to Qinghan instead. To his great shock, judging from the turbulent Battle Qi in Qinghan’s body, he predicted that Qinghan had reached the Realm of the Marshal already. Being submerged in surprise and excitement, who would have time to care about the Xue Family?
In order to reassure himself, Ye Qingniu drew closer to Qinghan and stared at him silently for a full moment. When he was about to speak up, he unexpectedly sensed a powerful wave of Battle Qi in the atmosphere. Thus, he furrowed his eyebrows and searched around for the abnormal phenomenon.
From behind the demons, something unusual suddenly happened. All the people collectively stared at the sky above the demons, as they were wondering who had actually released such an imposing momentum of Battle Qi, against the non-fighting rules set up by Immortal City.
“Ye Qinghan, Face me!”
A resounding sound reverberated from afar, and behind the bunch of demons emerged a black figure, which directly flew in front of the Mars Prefecture members, while releasing even more ferocious Battle Qi, as he even encircled all the Mars Prefecture soldiers with it.
- Bang! -
A gigantic, bright colour of Battle Qi loomed over the head the Mars Prefecture soldiers, following a streak of abruptly-emerging cyan light. Due to this, the evil Qi was effectively prevented from seeking any access to harm the soldiers within the light. At the same time, Ye Qingniu slowly flew up into the air, with his silvery hair dancing in the wind.
“Saint Domain!”
Fearful of the possible consequences brought by the large amount of evil Battle Qi, Ye Qingniu had turned to his Saint Domain to ensure the safety of the Mars Prefecture members.
