Chapter 422: 422: Apology and Request

The grand elder of the Snow Clan, together with her partner, had left after checking on the wife of Xue Yaya. Once they had taken their leave, Clan Master Xue Yi had fed his wife, Xue Yaya, the sixth-grade Detoxification Pill. The effects of the pill took effect right away. The poison inside his wife had faded, especially from her heart and other organs. It had successfully detoxified Xue Yaya’s body. However, since no one knows the nature of the poison, the pill can only keep detoxifying her organs and protecting them from the poison. The effect of this pill only lasted for a year.

The wife of Clan Master Xue Yi, Xue Yaya, had slowly woken up. She still feels groggy and weakened, not only because of the poison but also because of the guilt she had felt towards her niece, Xue Shuyi. If only she hadn’t mistaken the child for her husband’s illegitimate daughter.

Gasp!

Xue Yaya abruptly woke up. The hand held by her husband, Xue Yi, was gripped weakly by her, and her tears started falling.

"A’Yi, my husband, forgive me. If I didn’t make a move against Xue Shuyi, this wouldn’t have happened to me. My state is my own karma. There is no need to heal me," said Xue Yaya as her tears started falling from her eyes uncontrollably.

Sigh~

"Shu’er thought you would say these words. Thank God, I fed you the pill from Bing’er while you were asleep, or you wouldn’t have eaten it at all," said Xue Yi as he patted his wife’s hand in comfort while wiping her tears.

With surprise imprinted on her face, Xue Yaya looked a bit confused with what she had just heard and asked, "What pill? Did the Hidden Tan Clan give it to you?!"

"Mom, Dad gave you a sixth-grade detoxification pill. It will hold back the poison from spreading in your body for at least a year. As long as we find a doctor to cure you, the poison will not flare within a year due to the effect of the pill. This pill is from the daughter of Shu’er, Tan Bingyu," said Xue Lang.

Xue Yaya stuttered as her tears continued to fall. "I... I... Don’t they blame me? If not for me... Elder Shi Man from the Du Sect wouldn’t be able to appear in the hall that day! I was to blame. In my mind, all I wanted to do was to kill her!"

"Calm down, Ya’er! Everything is my fault. I should have explained everything to you in the beginning. Such a misunderstanding was something I intentionally created to protect Shu’er, but at the same time, it has harmed you greatly as well. I’m sorry. It is all because of me,"

the clan leader of the Snow Clan, Xue Yi, said.

The couple and their son can only hug each other in comfort and forgiveness. It was thanks to this day that all misunderstandings between them were now resolved. The whole family decided to visit the small mansion on their peak to meet the Hidden Tan Clan. It was only after Xue Yaya’s body stabilized completely that their family of three came to meet Xue Shuyi and the Tan family. Xue Yaya lowered her head in forgiveness as soon as she appeared before Xue Shuyi.

Just the fact that she had tried to use the Du Sect and her son to kill Xue Shuyi was enough sin for her to confess. Xue Shuyi felt a bit overwhelmed by her former mother figure’s apology. She didn’t mind Madam Xue’s actions at all. In reality, it was his uncle’s fault that had caused this in the first place. Tan Bingyu was a bit annoyed but still listened to her mother and forgave her granduncle’s wife and son for what they had done to her mother. After all, if not for the coincidence that they had come to the Cultivation Realm at this time, Xue Shuyi would have definitely suffered under that Elder Shi Man.

If that had truly happened, regardless of her granduncle, she would have destroyed the whole Snow Clan as compensation for her mother’s sake alone.

With her head lowered, Xue Yaya said, "I apologized for my actions against Xue Shuyi before. Because of the misunderstanding on my side, I had almost caused her harm that cannot be forgiven. I am grateful for the pill you have given me. However, I am willing to accept any punishment for the actions I have taken in the past. Please punish me as you will."

"N-No, Mo---Aunt! There is no need for punishment. Nothing has happened to me at all! Moreover, you aren’t well enough to move yet. There is no need to do anything," said Xue Shuyi.

Tang Yuyi had spoken and said, "Shu’er is correct. Your poison was only held back by the pill. It hasn’t fully been removed from your system. It is better if you don’t overwork yourself, at least within this year. The effects of the pill only detoxify your organs and don’t truly remove it from your system."

"Y-Yes. I will keep the senior’s words in mind," Xue Yaya said.

Tan Huangyu suddenly asked his sworn brother, "Is that all you came over for this time, A’Yi? You should be busy with everything happening in the clan right now, right?"

"The grand elder had taken over for a while. When my wife’s state has stabilized, I will return to my duties. By the way, the grand elder wanted to meet Bing’er. I do not know what she wanted. If you don’t want to meet her, I will tell the grand elder that you are busy. You are my guests, so she wouldn’t be pushy about things that don’t involve the clan," said Clan Master Xue Yi.

However, Tan Bingyu had accepted the grand elder’s request to meet.

She said, "I am willing to meet her. I wanted to know what she truly wanted. However, I cannot become a part of the Snow Clan even though I wanted my current physique. My surname is Tan, after all. Moreover, I need to find the mistress."

"Speaking of your request, the information that was found out wasn’t enough yet. There’s still no news about your mistress, but I have sent someone to find her. As long as she is in the Cultivation Realm, we should be able to find her trace. As for the Supreme Elder of the Starfield Sect, as you expected, he had returned to his sect with his wife and issued a decree about his descendants coming to this realm with him, but they got scattered after the teleportation. Some disciples will be stationed at each city to find those descendants of his," said Clan Leader Xue Yi.

Tan Shenyu asked, "Had one of those disciples arrived in this region, Uncle Xue?"

"Not yet. But if they do, I will send someone to inform you. We have taken up much of your time already. We shall go back for now. I will inform the grand elder that you have agreed to meet her. Maybe she will come over and meet you by tomorrow at most."

After saying all this, Clan Master Xue Yi and his family had taken their leave. Once they were gone, the Tan family had a conversation within the family.

Tan Huangyu said, "Lao Xia should be focusing on finding the Yue Clan for now. I would send some letters to the Starfield Sect to inform them about our situation and inquire about the situation of the mistress. Though she should be alright even if separated, it’s better to find her fast before bugs gather around her."

"Indeed. It wouldn’t be nice if the two men by her side lost it and destroyed this realm in the process. I don’t know about my master, but Lord Shen could most likely do it if he wished to," said Tan Shenyu.

Tang Yuyi and Xue Shuyi were stunned by their conversation. They heard them talking about destroying the Cultivation Realm as if doing so were easy. But their husbands seem to believe this possibility, and Tan Bingyu didn’t deny it. That’s why they couldn’t help but ask about it more.

"Are you guys talking about the people beside the Moon Goddess? Are they capable of such things?" asked Xue Shuyi.

All those who were surnamed Tan answered, "It’s possible!"

Tan Bingyu said, "It’s the very same Domain of Sun that the Snow Clan had someone divine from the Starfield Sect. Moreover, those two only listen to the mistress. If they got separated, then... It’s possible that this realm might get destroyed if someone is annoyed. If not for Xue Xian coming over to the Mortal Realm that time, the Snow Clan would be destined to perish when they arrived in this realm."

Unfortunately for them, they didn’t know that the Heavenly Will of this realm prevented them from entering now; the two were stuck outside while Shen Jueyang snuck in with just his soul alone to find Yue Xuexia.

Meanwhile, at the residence of the Grand Elder...

The news from Xue Yi about Tan Bingyu agreeing to meet her was good news for the couple. They are truly delighted by this situation and even reward the disciple who had sent the news.

"Husband, tomorrow we will know how to wake up our son!" The Grand Elder was delighted.

Her husband responded, "That’s great. We have been waiting for a clue on how to wake Qiu’er."

"I hope this time, we can see him open his eyes," said the Grand Elder.

Within their mansion, in one of the biggest rooms, a man with his eyes closed was lying on an ice bed, and the whole room was covered in ice. His hair is pure white like Tan Bingyu’s when she activates her physique; the only difference between them is that this man had a looming death aura all over him as he slumbered for an unknown number of years.
