Chapter 664: Chapter 663: The Person to Accompany Me for Life

"Young Master Ye, it was my fault. Please don’t go, save Rourou!"

Duan Jingcong apologized to Ye Xuan with sincere fear and trepidation.

"My lord..." Duan Rourou appeared to be at a loss.

She had been in the midst of receiving a cultivation technique from Ye Xuan when she was suddenly interrupted, nearly causing her to fall into demonic possession and lose all her cultivation.

Though she had stabilized, she was still in distress.

She could tell that all of this had something to do with her grandfather.

When Young Master Ye was transmitting the technique to her, her grandfather must have done something to anger Young Master Ye.

"Step aside," Ye Xuan said indifferently.

Duan Jingcong bowed down in front of Ye Xuan, his face full of bitterness, "Young Master Ye, I was wrong!"

"If you were wrong, why don’t you step aside?"

At that moment, a detached voice sounded from not too far away.

Following this, a youth in ancient attire who appeared rather stern, walked over slowly.

"Mountain God Dao, Huang Yue!"

Upon seeing the man appear, Duan Jingcong’s heart shook.

The person who came was Huang Yue.

In just a few steps, he had arrived behind Ye Xuan.

"Senior," Huang Yue greeted respectfully.

It turned out that Huang Yue had been following behind Ye Xuan the whole time since his arrival.

And now, seeing what was happening, Huang Yue naturally showed himself.

"Senior!?" Seeing Huang Yue’s attitude towards Ye Xuan, Duan Jingcong was stunned.

Wasn’t Huang Yue a worldly figure from the Mountain God Dao? Why would he call Ye Xuan his senior?

Without realizing it, Duan Jingcong thought back to his own probe of Ye Xuan just a moment ago, and the surge of power that had erupted in that instant...

"Young Master Ye, I beg you, you must save Rourou. Besides you, there is no one else in this world who can save her." Duan Jingcong bent his knees and knelt to the ground, bowing his head repeatedly.

At that moment, Duan Jingcong utterly set aside all his dignity.

His heart filled with regret, everything could have been alright, but because of him, things had turned out this way.

He was ashamed to face Rourou.

"Grandfather..." Seeing that scene, Duan Rourou’s eyes reddened slightly.

Ye Xuan looked at Duan Jingcong with an indifferent expression, saying lightly, "Alright, I can give you a chance, but only if Duan Rourou agrees to come with me and stay away from you. With your character, who knows what you might do."

With those words, Duan Jingcong trembled slightly and finally said through gritted teeth, "Everything is up to Young Master Ye’s command."

"You may leave, Duan Rourou will stay," Ye Xuan said calmly.

Duan Jingcong stood up, his complexion pale, and looked at Duan Rourou with a forced smile, "Rourou, you must be obedient while with Young Master Ye. Understand? Grandfather will come to see you when I can."

Having said this, Duan Jingcong turned and walked away, vanishing in an instant.

He also knew that if he stayed any longer, Young Master Ye might grow discontent.

At that time, if Young Master Ye changed his mind again, Rourou would be done for.

"Grandfather!" Duan Rourou watched Duan Jingcong leave, tears falling like beads off a broken string, her expression one of dejected sadness.

"We’ll continue the transmission later, once you’ve stabilized your emotions," Ye Xuan said, seeing how upset Duan Rourou was and not intending to continue the transmission.

Right now, Duan Rourou was not suitable.

Originally, his plan was to let Duan Rourou grow in the Sacred Land of Qinghong under the watch of Duan Jingcong, and then make plans for her future.

However, after that moment just now, Ye Xuan changed his mind and decided to keep Duan Rourou by his side.

By doing so, he could keep a constant watch on the condition of her Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body and also prevent Duan Jingcong from making any other mistakes. Otherwise, it would be him having to clean up the mess later.

Ye Xuan did indeed have a flicker of murderous intent just now, but since Duan Rourou still had great use, he decided to take the opportunity to take her with him.

Plus, there was another point...

Having Duan Rourou by his side would be a significant help to the young members of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Especially for Youwei.

The Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body when not stimulated, does not reveal anything.

But it can subtly and imperceptibly accelerate the cultivation speed of those around it.

This is a huge secret of the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body.

Neither Duan Jingcong nor Duan Rourou actually knew about this.

Because Duan Jingcong had long known that Duan Rourou was the Heavenly Fragrance Jade Body, he always kept her isolated, and basically, only Duan Jingcong went to see her.

This was also why Duan Rourou was initially deceived by a fellow sect elder, Fan Jian.

With so little interaction with others, she was inevitably too naive at heart.

Ye Xuan’s choosing to take Duan Rourou over was likewise a significant reason.

"Let’s go," Ye Xuan said softly.

Huang Yue silently followed behind.

Although Duan Rourou was heartbroken, she knew what was most important and followed Ye Xuan.

After returning to the moving palace complex.

Zhou Youwei’s gaze seemed a bit off, frequently glancing over Duan Rourou and then towards Ye Xuan, with a peculiar look in her eyes.

It appeared there was a trace of jealousy in it.

This wasn’t surprising for Zhou Youwei, after all, Ye Xuan had teased her before he left, saying someone was looking for him, only to bring back a strange woman now.

"Her name is Duan Rourou, and she is temporarily a member of the Emperor Immortal Sect," Ye Xuan said with his hands in his pockets, nonchalantly.

"Hello, senior sister," Duan Rourou, having gathered her emotions, said with a slight smile to Zhou Youwei.

"Hello, Rourou," Zhou Youwei said softly with a light smile, revealing pretty dimples, and asked, "I wonder how Rourou and my husband came to know each other?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Little Youwei, oh Little Youwei, are you jealous?

Duan Rourou was taken aback for a moment, realizing that Zhou Youwei had misunderstood. She took the initiative to say, "Young Master Ye is my savior. I have a hidden ailment, and my grandfather sought out Young Master Ye to save me. But this ailment is rather troublesome, so I can only trouble you and the others for a while."

Duan Rourou offered an apologetic smile.

"I see..." Zhou Youwei said softly, yet her gaze fell on Ye Xuan as if asking, is that really so?

Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders and replied softly, "Of course."

A hint of a smile appeared on the corners of Zhou Youwei’s lips.

For some reason, Zhou Youwei appeared slightly proud at that moment.

Although it was unclear where this bit of pride came from.

This was not in keeping with Zhou Youwei’s temperament but instead made her seem inexplicably cute.

"Duan Rourou, you can go first, I have something to discuss with Youwei," Ye Xuan gestured with his hand.

"Yes, Young Master," Duan Rourou bowed to Ye Xuan, then turned to Zhou Youwei and said, "Senior sister, I will take my leave."

"Mhm, see you tomorrow," Zhou Youwei replied with a light smile.

Soon, only Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei were left in the main hall.

"Tell me, how long have you known her?"

The moment Duan Rourou left the hall, Zhou Youwei fixed her gaze on Ye Xuan, her eyes unfriendly, as she pretended to interrogate him.

"I’ve forgotten," Ye Xuan replied with a shrug.

"Forgotten?" Zhou Youwei glared at Ye Xuan: "Can’t you even think of an excuse?"

"The one who will accompany me for life will only be you. Why would I remember other women?" Ye Xuan said with a slight smile, his gaze audaciously roaming over Zhou Youwei’s alluring form.

At these words, Zhou Youwei immediately conceded, unable to withstand Ye Xuan’s domineering gaze, and went to cultivate with a flush on her face.

Ye Xuan was left laughing heartily.

......

Outside Hengduan Mountain, countless major powers from the East Desolate had gathered.

Hengduan Mountain was about to open, and the atmosphere had reached its peak of tension.

Previously unnoticed powers like the Red Sparrow Institute had also started to arrive.

The matter between the Five Dominators of East Desolation and Ye Xuan was also a hot topic of discussion.

Indeed, as Hengduan Mountain was about to open, the talks about Ye Xuan and the Five Dominators of East Desolation were still circulating...
