CHAPTER 1051: CHAPTER 1048: MY HUSBAND WAS YOUNG AND IMMATURE

Journeying west.

Personally escorted by the three great overlords.

It wasn’t long before the group arrived at the western border of Crow Grave.

They descended before the border line.

Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei voluntarily jumped off the East Emperor’s back, landing on the ground.

"We..."

"Farewell, Emperor Ye!"

The three great overlords lowered their heads in unison, bowing to Ye Xuan with heartfelt respect.

"Until next time." Ye Xuan didn’t look back, said this and walked straight out of Crow Grave’s territory.

Zhou Youwei hooked her arm around Ye Xuan’s, leaning close to his ear, whispered: "You’re so charming..."

Ye Xuan’s lips twitched slightly, he glanced sideways at the stunning Zhou Youwei, whispered: "I feel like you’ve changed since we left the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Hall, things you couldn’t say before you now say easily."

Zhou Youwei rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan, said irritably: "Really?"

Ye Xuan nodded affirmatively: "Definitely, you never used to praise me for being handsome."

Zhou Youwei was suddenly speechless.

Ye Xuan laughed heartily.

The three overlords behind them caught their conversation but pretended not to have heard.

Once Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei had gone far, the three overlords finally stood upright.

"The help Emperor Ye has given us is already the utmost, we shouldn’t let him down." In the East Emperor’s eyes ignited a flame of crimson gold divine flames.

"Indeed." Emperor Mo said calmly.

The three then parted ways.

What the future holds.

Who knows?

————

Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei hadn’t walked far out of Crow Grave when they encountered the waiting Qiankun Ancestor and the other two.

After the group reunited, they headed straight to Empty Ancient City.

The anomaly in Empty Ancient City had dissipated significantly.

But above Empty Ancient City, it was still filled with dark clouds, drizzling rain, and not a single person could be seen on the streets.

"How’s this rain still going?"

Little Array Emperor said gloomily.

"It seems odd." Yao Yueqing was somewhat vigilant.

With one glance she could tell something was off.

Could very well be a killing trap.

"Relax, no one will die." Ye Xuan said leisurely.

As soon as he spoke, both Little Array Emperor and Yao Yueqing inexplicably felt at ease.

It seems that as long as Ye Xuan said that, all problems weren’t problems.

"You all go back to the courtyard where Zhang Qingfeng used to stay."

Ye Xuan waved his hand.

"Huh? Are we splitting up again?" Little Array Emperor blinked.

But seeing Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei inseparable, he wisely shut his mouth, pulling Qiankun Ancestor, saying: "Old fellow, when will you introduce me to a wife?"

Qiankun Ancestor snorted: "With your cowardice, what girl would fancy you."

"Nonsense, I’m so handsome, how could there be no one who fancies me?" Little Array Emperor patted his chest.

The two then left in a playful manner.

Yao Yueqing stayed back a step, spoke to Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei: "Be careful yourselves."

Then she followed Qiankun Ancestor and Little Array Emperor.

"Let’s go." Ye Xuan, pulling Zhou Youwei, headed off in another direction.

Zhou Youwei clung to Ye Xuan, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of suspicion: "Husband, have you noticed..."

Ye Xuan said leisurely: "Noticed what?"

Zhou Youwei stared at Ye Xuan, saying: "Sister Yueqing looks at you differently."

Ye Xuan chuckled: "Many people in this world look at me differently, so what?"

Zhou Youwei, upon hearing this, inexplicably laughed, her dimples showing beautifully.

Meanwhile.

At the East side old immortal shop.

In the main hall.

A grey-robed old man lay in a Taishi chair, holding a black old pipe in one hand, puffing away at dry smoke, exhaling clouds, the other hand resting on the armrest, fingers tapping rhythmically, in great leisure.

The old man squinted his eyes, watching the drizzle in the courtyard, holding a unique charm.

But the next moment, the old man abruptly rose, eyes wide, seemingly stunned.

Immediately after, the old man stomped his foot, cursing: "What on earth is that Undying Night Emperor doing, why did he really bring her back!?"

"Ah ah ah ah————"

The old man rarely lost composure, stomping, yelling incoherently.

That scene, if old scholar Ji Yueyi saw, he would surely point at him and laugh, scold: "You also have a day like this?"

Unfortunately, old scholar Ji Yueyi wasn’t here to see it.

The grey-robed old man scratched his ears, grumbling nervously.

After a while, the grey-robed old man returned to the Taishi chair.

Not because he thought of some ploy.

But showing a world-weary face.

Planning to go down with the ship.

The grey-robed old man extinguished the smoke, tidied up the ashtray, placed it aside, closed his eyes, letting the Taishi chair rock slowly.

Two words.

Resigned.

Creak————

The worn-out back door, pushed open by someone.

With the sound of the opening door, the old man instinctively opened his eyes, carrying a hint of helplessness.

The next moment, a black-robed youth, pulling an absolutely beautiful girl dressed in white, walked in.

Upon entering, the youth kicked the door shut.

The two walked along the side aisle into the main hall.

Before they had stepped into the main hall, the old man had already sat up from the Taishi chair.

By the time they stepped in, the old man was standing, hands behind his back, tightly clasped, clearly unsettled.

"Husband, isn’t it a bit rude for us to just walk in like this..."

Zhou Youwei saw the old man’s series of actions, couldn’t help but whisper to Ye Xuan.

"It’s fine, he’s alright." Ye Xuan ignored the old man, casually pulled over a nearby bench for Zhou Youwei to sit comfortably.

Zhou Youwei felt a bit uncomfortable, sitting upright beside Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan smiled, looking at the old man, said slowly: "You seem nervous?"

The old man heard, hummed lightly, unhurriedly said: "Didn’t I tell you before, don’t ask about this again."

"Besides, I’ve already given you an Array Emperor, those ten bags of Golden Essence Copper Coins have settled."

"Leave."

The old man finished speaking, feigned impatience.

Seemingly unchanged from before.

But the more this was so, the more Ye Xuan wanted to laugh.

"Husband, shall we go first?" Zhou Youwei softly suggested to Ye Xuan.

She could see the old man wasn’t welcoming their presence.

"This guy is actually an old friend of mine, he’s just like this, don’t mind him." Ye Xuan pulled Zhou Youwei’s delicate hand, gently patting, laughed cheerfully.

While patting, Ye Xuan’s peripheral vision kept an eye on the old man’s reactions.

He clearly noticed the old man’s eyelids twitching.

This made Ye Xuan more certain of his thoughts.

This old fellow definitely knows Youwei’s origins!

Zhou Youwei didn’t think too much, hearing Ye Xuan say the old man was an old friend, she felt much relieved.

But regarding Ye Xuan’s words, Zhou Youwei was half-believing, considering her husband often spoke nonsense.

Thus, Zhou Youwei proactively gave the old man a junior’s greeting, softly said: "Husband is young and doesn’t know how to speak, I hope senior will bear with him."
