Chapter 759: 0760 I’m back! (Second update)

In the following days, Ye Zi clung to Ye Qiu’s side every day, never leaving him by an inch.

Although Ye Qiu felt helpless, he could only indulge the girl.

Having suffered so much in the Mu Tribe, who could blame her?

However, as more than ten days passed, it was not a long-term plan to keep Ye Zi cooped up in the courtyard, but he also couldn’t let her wander the ancient lands at will. If she were seen by the people of the Mu Tribe, they would surely capture her.

After all, when Ye Qiu had rescued her, he also killed two of the Mu Tribe’s people, which had caused quite a stir.

In the end, Ye Qiu decided to send Ye Zi out of the ancient lands.

Ye Zi naturally refused, insistent on not leaving Ye Qiu this time, "Brother Ye Qiu, just let me stay here with you. I promise I won’t go out, I’ll just stay in the courtyard."

Ye Zi put on a pitiful face. The girl was developing quite nicely, her burgeoning chest swaying, making Ye Qiu scratch his eyebrows in distraction.

"All right, be obedient. The ancient lands are still dangerous for you, and I can’t always be here to accompany you," Ye Qiu said persuasively.

"No, I want to be with brother." Ye Zi was very stubborn and wouldn’t listen. In front of Ye Qiu, she was an eternal child. Maybe she could put on a brave front for others, but in front of Ye Qiu, that was her true self.

"Ye Zi, there are many enemies of your brother in these ancient lands. Don’t worry, there will come a day when I will let you walk freely in the ancient lands, and no one will dare to touch you again, not even the Mu Tribe," Ye Qiu said.

Seeing Ye Qiu’s serious expression, Ye Zi reluctantly agreed, afraid that Ye Qiu would really get angry with her.

Hearing that Ye Qiu was going back to the mundane world, Jin Shanshun asked, "Do you need me to go with you?"

Ye Qiu shook his head: "No need, you stay here and keep an eye on the three ancient clans. I’ll be back in a month or two at most; it won’t take long."

Having been in the ancient lands for quite some time now, Ye Qiu mused that the people in the mundane world must be cursing him to death by now. He couldn’t help but smile at the thought of how Shen Mengchen, that girl, would react upon seeing him after all these months. Would she explode in anger? And then there was Shangguan Mingyue, the breathtaking beauty, the police flower Lin Qiao’er, his master the old flirt, his master’s wife, and others. He really should make a trip back.

Having achieved his goal of entering the ancient lands, not only had Ye Qiu encountered the three great ancient clans he wanted to annihilate, but his own strength had also broken through. Moreover, he had gained an Emperor Level opportunity, becoming an Alchemist. Most importantly, he had rescued Ye Zi and, with the support of Yun Shang Palace, he had managed to establish himself in the ancient lands.

Everything was progressing smoothly. However, Ye Qiu was not going to spend too much time dealing with the affairs of the mundane world. He would return to the ancient clans, where the cultivation environment far exceeded that of the mundane world, allowing him to advance rapidly.

Ye Qiu would not forget his mission, to avenge the Dugu Family.

It would be good to disappear for a while. His prominence had attracted too much attention.

As the saying goes, the outstanding tree in the forest is often the first to be brought down by the wind.

His fame even overshadowed Ji Lingchen, the number one favored prodigy of the time, which wasn’t advantageous for someone who wished to slowly build up strength for a heartfelt vengeance.

Stepping out of the spotlight for a bit before returning seemed to be a viable strategy.

"Shanshun, do you know where to leave this ancient land without being detected?" Ye Qiu asked.

Jin Shanshun replied, "Leaving the ancient land is easy, not a difficult task; I know of a hidden pathway out."

Since Ye Qiu was prepared to temporarily depart from the ancient land and return to the mundane world, he first visited Yun Shang Palace, had a secret discussion with the owner, and took out many pills. Of course, in return, Yun Shang Palace provided a great deal of medicinal herbs.

As for his other acquaintances, there was only Tang Surou left. Ye Qiu thought it over and decided not to seek her out. Although he wasn’t concerned about Tang Surou, his feelings toward the Tang clan weren’t particularly positive. He didn’t want the Tang clan to know about his temporary departure from the ancient land.

"Shanshun, I’m entrusting you with this item. If it’s problematic for Old Mo to take action, you can carry it to Yunxia Peak. There, a mythic-level master will help you." Ye Qiu handed the fish-shaped object to Jin Shanshun. After he left, only Jin Shanshun remained. Ye Qiu was also concerned that someone might harm Jin Shanshun. Although the likelihood was slim, one can never be too cautious, as human hearts are unpredictable!

As for Old Mo, he decided not to leave with Ye Qiu but to hide in this courtyard and cultivate slowly.

Of course, Ye Qiu also left Old Mo with plenty of medicinal pills. While they couldn’t help him break through, their effects were still significant.

Before leaving, Ye Qiu refined several batches of pills, part of which he gave to Jin Shanshun, and part he kept for himself.

"Shanshun, you can give these pills to your uncle to strengthen the power of the Jin clan," Ye Qiu said indifferently. Jin Shanshun understood and felt warmly inside. He knew that by allowing the Jin clan to have the pills, Ye Qiu was aiding them, enabling the Jin clan to gradually rise from a lesser ancient clan to a stronger one.

Jin Shanshun didn’t say thank you, as his friendship with Ye Qiu had already transcended the need for such words.

That night, under Jin Shanshun’s guidance, Ye Qiu, along with Ye Zi, who was disguised, left the ancient land.

The water shimmered, and Ye Qiu and Ye Zi vanished from sight. Jin Shanshun touched his chest where all the pills Ye Qiu had given him were stored—all of Primordial Pill grade, dozens of them. Looking up at the moonlight in the night sky, he heard Ye Qiu’s bold declarations echoing in his ears.

"Someday, we will look down upon the entire ancient land, standing above all ancient clans, no longer oppressed by others."

This sentence echoed repeatedly in Jin Shanshun’s ear. He smiled faintly and muttered, "Brother Ye, when you see me again, I will certainly have made another breakthrough, keeping pace with your steps and fulfilling our goals."

As if passing through a layer of clouds and mist, Ye Qiu and Ye Zi emerged at the foot of a mountain.

Returning to the mundane world once again, Ye Qiu breathed in deeply the air and almost choked.

No wonder the people from the ancient land don’t want to come to the mundane world. Comparing the cultivation environments, the difference is indeed significant," Ye Qiu commented lightly. Although the air was somewhat polluted, compared to the ancient land, for the common people, the air in this mountainous wilderness was considered quite fresh.

"Brother Ye Qiu, I think you have another purpose for coming back. You weren’t thinking about those beauties by your side, were you?" Ye Zi interrupted Ye Qiu’s thoughts, seeing him appear so nonchalant.

"You cheeky girl, daring to tease me like that. What beauties or not, your brother isn’t such a frivolous man," Ye Qiu boasted shamelessly.

Ye Zi pursed her lips, not buying Ye Qiu’s bluff.

"Alright, stop pouting. If you pout any more, you could hang an oil bottle on it," Ye Qiu pinched Ye Zi’s cheek and strode forward, walking on this land brought him a feeling of revisiting his old haunts.

"I’ve returned," Ye Qiu gazed at the mountains ahead and couldn’t help but let out a reflective sigh.
