The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 559 - 558

Chapter 559: 558

In the early morning, Mo Qinglian came.

Thinking about how she was looked down upon by Ye Xuan the day before, Mo Qinglian felt somewhat provoked, but then, when she considered Young Master Ye’s terrifying methods, she felt somewhat inferior.

In front of Ye Xuan, she, who was seen as a pampered princess by outsiders, seemed to amount to nothing.

Originally, she intended to improve herself before seeking out Ye Xuan again, but due to the Heavenly Pride Festival taking place at Chunnan Mountain today, an assembly of peerless elites from all over the East Desolation Domain had gathered.

Those major powers who came to attend the observation ceremony at the Mo family all had their own prodigies participating.

This grand event, which would take place in Chunnan Mountain, had previously been organized by Mo Yunli, specifically for the exchange among East Desolate’s youths.

Following Mo Yunchui’s announcement that the succession ceremony would continue, the Heavenly Pride Festival would naturally carry on as well.

Originally, this Heavenly Pride Festival was to be presided over by the Mo family’s young prodigy, Mo Chenliang.

But well, Mo Chenliang had been disposed of by Ye Xuan, and now it naturally fell to Mo Qinglian to step forward.

However, comparatively speaking, although Mo Qinglian’s status was acknowledged, her strength wasn’t quite adequate.

Already feeling somewhat inferior, Mo Qinglian naturally thought of her own family’s Young Master Ye.

After arriving at the Cave Heaven Blessed Land where Ye Xuan was resting, Mo Qinglian hesitated for a moment, afraid that she might disturb Ye Xuan.

"Miss Mo."

To her surprise, it was Ye Dong who, noticing Mo Qinglian’s arrival, took the initiative to come forward and greeted her with a bow.

Mo Qinglian came back to her senses and returned a slight curtsey, thought carefully about what to say, and asked softly, "May I ask if Brother Ye Dong knows whether the Young Master is still resting?"

Ye Dong almost choked upon hearing this and quickly replied, "Miss Mo flatters me too much. The Young Master should still be resting. If Miss Mo has a matter of importance, I can go and report to the Young Master."

After all, he was but a guard from the Ye Family, and even though he was now serving close to Ye Xuan, he viewed Mo Qinglian, the Mo family’s pampered princess and the granddaughter of the Mo Family Head Mo Yunchui, as someone far beyond his own standing.

That address of "Brother Ye Dong" from Mo Qinglian certainly gave him quite a scare.

"No, no, it’s not urgent. Let’s wait until the Young Master has finished resting," Mo Qinglian hurriedly waved her hand, fearful that Ye Dong might rush to wake Ye Xuan.

The Heavenly Pride Festival was still two hours away, so there was no need to rush.

"Er... okay then," Ye Dong, seeing this, dared not overstep his boundaries.

And so, the young lady of the Mo family just stood at the entrance of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, foolishly waiting.

Inside the palace, Ye Xuan had actually woken up and naturally sensed Mo Qinglian’s arrival.

However, Ye Xuan did not instruct Ye Dong to invite her in; instead, he began his cultivation on his own.

The Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Technique gradually began to circulate.

At this time, it was the moment when the purple qi came from the east.

It was the best opportunity for daily cultivation.

Cultivating at this time would naturally yield twice the results with half the effort.

Ye Xuan, having experienced eons, knew this better than anyone else, that’s why he never missed this moment every day.

Boom!

Just as Ye Xuan entered the state of cultivation, he directly progressed from the Sixth Realm of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm to the Seventh Layer.

With the arrival of the purple qi and its absorption into his body, Ye Xuan’s realm rapidly stabilized and progressed towards the peak of the Seventh Layer.

Such a speed of cultivation, were anyone else to witness it, would likely make their jaws drop in astonishment.

Half an hour had passed.

Ye Xuan entered the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

After stabilizing his realm, Ye Xuan ceased his cultivation.

Visible strands of mysterious light wrapped around him like a semi-transparent thin robe, casting an appearance akin to a Banished Immortal.

He let out a sigh of turbid breath as he opened his eyes slowly.

Cultivation complete.

After a casual tidy-up, Ye Xuan pushed open the doors of the great hall, welcoming in the sunlight.

The glaring sunshine made Ye Xuan squint his eyes slightly, casting his gaze over the girl who stood in a daze at the entrance of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

With a swift movement, he darted behind the young girl, silent and without a trace.

"What do you need from me?"

Ye Xuan spoke softly.

"Ah!? Startled from her reverie, Mo Qinglian finally realized what had happened and was taken aback. She hurriedly greeted him, "Qing Lian pays her respects to the young master. I apologize for disturbing you; please do not take offense."

Ye Xuan glanced at Mo Qinglian and said in a gentle voice, "Who taught you to speak like this?"

With a blush on her pretty face, Mo Qinglian replied softly, "Reporting to the young master, Aunt Hong, who is in charge of educating the Mo family’s maids, taught me this."

"Your grandfather’s idea?" Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Mo Qinglian quickly waved her hands, "It’s not grandfather’s idea, it’s my own."

Ye Xuan did not say another word, and instead gave her a painful flick on the forehead, not minding her cry of pain, and said indifferently, "Isn’t it better to spend that time on improving your cultivation rather than learning these useless things?"

Mo Qinglian, rubbing her reddened forehead, said with some grievance, "But if Qing Lian becomes the young master’s maid in the future and doesn’t even know these basics, won’t that embarrass the young master?"

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, "Didn’t I say it’s just a joke to take you as a maid? Get to the point, what are you looking for me for?"

Mo Qinglian pouted, but still honestly relayed the purpose of her visit to Ye Xuan.

After speaking, Mo Qinglian felt a bit embarrassed, hanging her head low.

Ye Xuan stroked his chin, "You want me to go to that Heavenly Pride Festival to back you up?"

Mo Qinglian scratched her head, somewhat uncertainly, "That seems to be the idea."

"Not going," Ye Xuan refused outright.

"Ah?" Mo Qinglian was suddenly confused; she thought Ye Xuan had already agreed.

"Alright then." Mo Qinglian looked at Ye Xuan, opened her mouth, and eventually said somewhat dejectedly,

"I have intruded upon the young master’s time, Qing Lian will take her leave now."

Mo Qinglian performed a curtsey and took the initiative to leave.

"Wait a moment." Ye Xuan contemplated for a while and then called back Mo Qinglian, asking, "Have the people from the Red Sparrow Institute arrived at this Heavenly Pride Festival?"

Mo Qinglian stopped in her tracks. Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s question, she paused and then responded, "I heard that the Red Sparrow Saintess has come from the side of the Red Sparrow Institute."

"You know her?"

Mo Qinglian asked in astonishment.

Instead of answering, Ye Xuan simply grinned and said, "Never mind, I’ll accompany you for a bit."

"Yes, young master!" Mo Qinglian exclaimed excitedly.

"You all go have a look around as well," Ye Xuan instructed the four from the Ye Family.

"Protecting the young master is our responsibility!" Ye Dong’s group responded very seriously.

"Really?" Ye Xuan asked with a teasing look in his eye.

Feeling caught by Ye Xuan’s gaze, Ye Dong’s group couldn’t help feeling embarrassed.

Indeed, on the surface, they were the ones protecting the young master.

In reality?

If it hadn’t been for the young master yesterday, they probably would have been slaughtered by the Mo family’s guards.

Even so, they couldn’t just abandon their duties.

"Enough of that, the Ye Family has also sent people this time, which you all know, so let’s drop it," Ye Xuan said, preparing to speak further, but then waved his hand and spoke, "Go have a stroll yourselves. The path of cultivation is long; it’s not good to be always so tense."

With that, Ye Xuan had already started walking away with Mo Qinglian towards the Heavenly Pride Festival being held on Chunnan Mountain.

Seeing this, the four from the Ye Family looked at each other and, in the end, could only leave with a bitter smile.

At the same time, Chunnan Mountain was also bustling with excitement.

Today, the people from the Overlord powers of the East Desolate and other top powers had also arrived.

(ps: Today has passed, we just need to get through tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we can burst with excitement, keep going!)
