Chapter 200 – Ye Ruoshui Returns! (2/2)

As for Ye Qingyu, she was curious about the stranger, who she believed was a middle-aged man in appearance. When she received the ardent stare from this young ancestor, she couldn’t help stepping backwards in fear. Since Ye Tianlong and the other elders all recognized this stranger, and all treated him with respect, she relaxed a little bit, and replied, “I’m…I’m Ye Qingyu!”

“Ye Qingyu! Hmm, what a beautiful name!”

Ye Ruoshui nodded his head before he stepped out of the pavilion and said to the three elders, “You three, come with me!”

Ye Tianlong, Ye Baihu, and Ye Qingniu, all obediently followed their ancestor from behind.

As Ye Ruoshui walked silently forward, the three elders didn’t dare to speak up, but followed him gingerly. At last, they arrived at the small pool located on the rear hill of the Ye Castle.

To their surprise, Ye Ruoshui didn’t give a speech but just stared at the peaceful pool silently. Ye Tianlong and the other two elders had no choice but to accompany him on the side despite the curiosity.

“This girl, I mean Ye Qingyu, isn’t a descendent of our family, is she?”

After a long awkward silence, Ye Ruoshui finally spoke up as he asked with a solemn face.

“Ancestor, Ye Qingyu is an adopted child of my son. But… up until now, we’re still clueless as to where she came from, or who her parents are.” Ye Tianlong replied.

“Alas, what a pity… Remember, you need to make this girl believe in us and stay in this family, at any cost!” Ye Ruoshui took in a deep breath before he made this instruction.

“Tianlong totally understands your concern, ancestor. However, this girl… she promised to marry Qinghan because they’ve stuck to each other in times of joy and misery from when they were very little. I hope Qinghan will come back home safe and sound in five years, so that Qingyu won’t leave this family!” Ye Tianlong continued. He seemed to deliberately shift the subject from Qingyu to Qinghan, trying to exploit some information from Ye Ruoshui about this teenager.

“Ye Qinghan… Hehe” Ye Ruishui’s solemn face melted into a bright smile, and raised one of his eyebrows high as he replied confidently, “I once said he has a 40% to 50% chance of escaping the Luo Shen Mountain, right? But now, I can tell you guys, I estimated that his chance of getting out rose to 60% to 70%! Don’t worry about that kid, he is blessed…”

“Ahh… we’re so happy to hear that!”

The three elders also laughed out, as they were influenced by Ye Ruoshui’s good mood. Since their ancestor had confirmed Qinghan’s wellbeing, they were greatly relieved.

But a moment later, Ye Tianlong came up with another question.

“Ancestor, why were you away for so long? Eh, have you gotten the answer you wanted? What exactly is the Immortal Crystal? Why will Qingyu become an immortal by absorbing this item?”

As an immortal-level cultivator, Ye Ruoshui was able to teleport himself anywhere he wished to. In spite of the long distance between Concealed Island and Grey City, it wouldn’t take Ye Ruoshui long to arrive at the island. Even Ye Tianlong, a Saint-Realm cultivator, was able to reach such a distance within half a year. There was no reason Ye Ruoshui would spent eight months on this journey.

But, what interested Ye Tianlong the most was the Immortal Crystal, an item that could do magic even to a non-cultivator like Ye Qingyu, who had already reached the Realm of the General and would further surprise them by becoming an immortal just over nine years from now. Thinking of the arduous journey they took in cultivation, they were desperate to know if this Immortal Crystal could also give them the free ride and become an immortal. This way, they could stop with their arduous cultivation and take a shortcut.

No doubt, Ye Tianlong was wondering if their ancestor had obtained another Immortal Crystal.

If all of the three elders were given an Immortal Crystal, four more immortals would emerge in the Ye Family. Or if Ye Ruoshui gave each key descendant an Immortal Crystal, mass amount of immortals would be produced. At that time, the whole Flaming Dragon Continent would be the Ye Family’s territory.
