Chapter 566: Chapter 565: Little Red Sparrow and Emperor Ye

"Sister, he is coming over!"

The people of the Red Sparrow Institute, who were keeping an eye on Ye Xuan, became somewhat panicky when they saw him walking towards them.

Especially Leng Hongmi and Ruan Mengyue.

Both had witnessed Ye Xuan’s techniques.

Having now seen Ye Xuan’s influence, they could not help but feel alarmed.

Ye Qingyue snorted lightly and said, "With me here, he wouldn’t dare do anything!"

Ye Xuan, leading Mo Qinglian, approached the gathering of women at the Red Sparrow Institute, unhurriedly.

Whoosh!

Leng Hongmi and others suddenly stood up, nervously watching Ye Xuan.

Only Ye Qingyue sat there steadily, not the least bit flustered.

However, this also drew the attention of many people around them.

After all, Ye Xuan’s appearance had already attracted a lot of attention.

Seeing Ye Xuan approach Ye Qingyue, many people became curious.

This ’Mr. Ye,’ could he possibly know the Red Sparrow Fairy?

Ye Xuan ignored the fierce reactions from Leng Hongmi and the others, and took a seat opposite Ye Qingyue.

Mo Qinglian, understandingly, poured wine for Ye Xuan and obediently stood behind him.

This scene left many looking on with perplexed expressions.

Isn’t that the Mo family’s young lady, Mo Chenliang’s fiancée? Why does it seem like she is Ye Xuan’s maid?

Sitting opposite Ye Xuan, Ye Qingyue slightly raised her eyebrows, but she didn’t comment on the matter. Instead, she looked at Ye Xuan and said calmly, "Rogue scholar, is there a matter?"

Despite Ye Qingyue’s calm tone, her words clearly carried a hint of displeasure.

And indeed, Ye Qingyue was displeased with Ye Xuan.

That displeasure had persisted since their encounter back in April.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and replied, "Didn’t I say before, I’m just admiring the beauty of the Human World. How could you call me a rogue scholar?"

"Nonsense." Ye Qingyue snorted lightly and coldly asked, "Do you want to fight?"

"Sister..."

Leng Hongmi and Ruan Mengyue standing behind Ye Qingyue instantly paled.

Ye Qingyue slightly raised her hand, signaling them not to say more.

Ye Xuan glanced at Ye Qingyue, then spoke slowly, "You are not much like her."

"Hmm?" Ye Qingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, puzzled by Ye Xuan’s words.

Ye Xuan averted his gaze, picked up a wine glass, and shook it—the wine, red like a ruby, glistened enticingly.

Her path isn’t easy to walk. Take care," Ye Xuan warned.

This left Leng Hongmi and the others utterly bewildered, unable to understand Ye Xuan’s meaning.

But Ye Qingyue quickly grasped it. Her eyes narrowed dangerously, yet her exterior remained unflustered as she said, "I’m not quite sure what you mean by that."

Ye Xuan stopped swirling his wine, handed it to Mo Qinglian, and looked up into Ye Qingyue’s eyes, gazing directly into her pupils.

Ye Qingyue looked back at Ye Xuan.

The two of them locked eyes.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

Hum————

The world around them underwent drastic changes.

All surrounding chatter seemed to dissipate like the wind at that moment.

The surroundings also began dissolving into a vast expanse of whiteness.

After a moment, only an Ink Stone Jade Table was left on display.

Ye Xuan and Ye Qingyue were sitting opposite each other.

Between heaven and earth, it seemed only the two of them remained.

Boom!

But at the next moment, Ye Qingyue’s body emitted strands of red light that floated behind her, slowly forming a Red Sparrow.

Graceful and elegant.

In the eyes of that Red Sparrow, a human-like glimmer shone.

Shortly thereafter,

the Red Sparrow transformed into a young girl dressed in red.

Her eyes closed, she floated in midair, motionless as if in deep sleep.

Ye Xuan watched this unfold with a calm expression, his eyes betraying a trace of age-old weariness.

A slight smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Little Red Sparrow," Ye Xuan softly called out.

The girl in red seemed to hear Ye Xuan’s call, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her jade-like fingers moved gently as if she sensed something.

"Little Red Sparrow, I am Emperor Ye." Ye Xuan called out softly again.

Hum————

At that moment, the girl in red suddenly opened her eyes.

Red brilliance dazzled the world.

The originally featureless world suddenly filled with countless red maple forests, the sky dome turned a slight red, and maple leaves drifted in the lakes.

Because the girl in red opened her eyes, this empty heaven and earth gained color.

"Emperor Ye, brother..."

The girl in red murmured softly, her hollow eyes coming into focus.

After a while.

The girl in red seemed to return to normal, her gaze landed on Ye Xuan, filled with astonishment.

"You are..."

"Emperor Ye, brother?!"

She was overjoyed, tears glistening in her eyes as she leapt toward Ye Xuan.

But she passed right through his body.

The girl in red, whom Ye Xuan called Little Red Sparrow, was shocked, turned around, and looked at Ye Xuan who also turned around. She then looked down at herself and suddenly began to cry.

"Emperor Ye, brother!"

"Little Red Sparrow is dead, Little Red Sparrow..."

"Can’t hold you anymore."

Crying in such a helpless manner, it was heart-wrenching.

Ye Xuan watched the scene, feeling a slight sting in his nose, softly saying, "It’s okay, I’m here, don’t cry."

Upon hearing this, Little Red Sparrow immediately bit her lip, but tears and snot flowed uncontrollably as she sobbed.

The scene was at once adorable, amusing, and deeply melancholic.

Little Red Sparrow, she was the Red Sparrow Fairy.

The founder of the Red Sparrow Institute.

No one would have expected, such a terrifying figure to be such a cute and sincere young girl.

"Emperor Ye, brother, why didn’t you come to see Little Red Sparrow again after you left that year?" Little Red Sparrow contained her emotional outburst, but still spoke with unresolved grievances.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, "I was tied up back then."

In those days, he and Little Red Sparrow had spent a considerable amount of time together, but because he had more important matters to attend to, Ye Xuan left Little Red Sparrow.

When he went to find Little Red Sparrow again, she was no longer there.

Ye Xuan sat at the graveside of Little Red Sparrow for a long time.

He also shed tears in solitude.

He once said a phrase.

The price of eternal life is watching one familiar face after another leave.

That was a vivid example.

Throughout the millennia, the pain Ye Xuan endured was not only physical but more so emotional.

An old saying goes, grief greater than the death of the heart.

Death of the heart is even more severe than the death of the body.

Ye Xuan had died many a heart death.

But through the endless ages, he could only grit his teeth and continue on his path.

This is also why, for a long period, he was reluctant to get close to people.

Because once connections were established, they were hard to sever.

Especially knowing that they would inevitably leave before him.

What was the greatest invincibility of Ye Xuan? He once asked himself.

Was it that immortal monster body from those days?

No.

It wasn’t.

Was it his mind that comprehended the ancient and the modern?

No.

It wasn’t either.

"My greatest invincibility is that immortal Dao Heart of the ages."

These were the self-mocking words of Ye Xuan from long ago.

The immortal Dao Heart of the ages.

It was forged bit by bit through the unending years.
