The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 68: Meaning Of Power

While Qing Lan was getting ready to follow through with the Master and Madam’s plan, back in the Main Office, Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up.

"You’re back," He flashed a warm smile upon seeing his wife’s return.

"Save the smile for later." Ye Qing Lei faked a cough and reprimanded him. Now was not the time for flattery or flirting.

Nodding in agreement, Ye Xuan’s expression turned solemn as he flickered his hand.

Soon, a large projection screen appeared and his eyes narrowed.

"Some of these people were my fellow clan mates and some were my brothers in arms. They had battled through difficult times with me. We even repelled that sinister being together at the cost of numerous lives." As Ye Xuan reminisced about their past, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

The saying that it was easier to be friends in times of hardship than in times of wealth remained true.

Despite having a lot of wealth and benefit, these people were unsatisfied and still tried to scheme against him.

Correction: against his son.

"You won’t be sentimental, right?" Ye Qing Lei’s eyes stared at the screen and asked softly. Her soft tone, however, contained a trace of dominance and ruthlessness.

Upon hearing that, Ye Xuan also understands the meaning.

"If they really went through with it, then that would be the end of our karma." He declared.

So long as they hadn’t physically made a move, there was still a chance of redemption. But once they did, there would be no going back.

"If only Ming didn’t make that scene in the Clan Hall, then I might have still been able to convince them otherwise."

"Are you trying to say it was my son’s fault?"

"Of course, not. If they had such intention from the start, then it didn’t matter if Ming made that scene or not. They would still proceed with it. What Ming did was only accelerate the process."

"Our son is surely impressive. He did it out of impulse but managed to advanced your plot." Ye Qing Lei praised, her eyes glittered in joy.

"Okay, stop praising him that much." Annoyed, Ye Xuan was starting to get jealous of his son.

"Alright, I know you’ve worked hard these past few days." Suddenly, Ye Qing Lei got behind him and began to massage his shoulders.

"How’s the massage?" She asked softly.

"Fantastic of course!" Ye Xuan puffed up and said, "If I ever say your massage sucks, then destroy me immediately. Because that could only be a fake!"

Amused, Ye Qing Lei shook her head. No matter how much experience he went through, he was still the same old Ye Xuan that she had met when she was young.

Time was cruel to those who failed to cultivate and achieve a decent realm. Those who failed and the people whom they had encounter long been reincarnated endlessly in the cycle of life.

To her, there were only two important people in her life. First was Ye Ming, and second was Ye Xuan. Both of them were irreplaceable!

The only reason why she placed Ye Ming higher was because his cultivation realm and insight were still far too lacking.

As for Ye Xuan, he appeared gentle and sweet to her, but that was only true for her alone.

Deep down, Ye Xuan wasn’t really benevolent and merely biding his time in a lot of deep schemes.

He didn’t address Elder Ye Chang’s concern regarding the crimes committed by the clan mates multiple times because he wanted to see who else had such thoughts.

By subtly ignoring Ye Chang’s concerns, Ye Xuan effectively created an illusion of pardoning those who harbored hatred and wished to commit the taboos.

To simplify, they would believed Ye Xuan valued their bloodline deeply and refrained from intervening as long as their action was discreet enough.

Little did they know, Ye Xuan had long recorded them and was ready for a large cleansing.

"Anyway, did you send enough guards for Ming in the flying ship?" Ye Xuan suddenly asked, clearly worried that something might happen.

"Relax, do you think I would be here if that wasn’t the case?" She giggled.

"Right... there’s no way you would allow even a 1 percent chance of him being harmed." He shook his head and realized how unnecessary his question was. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Sometime later, the two began to do many sweet things that an old couple would never grow tired of.

Meanwhile, back on the flying ship, Ye Ming remained very relaxed as he glanced at the sky.

By now, he had already stopped thinking of what his parents were planning. He only wanted to enjoy his life and do whatever he desired.

So what if it somehow happened to align with his parents’ goal?

That didn’t matter much to him.

Sometime later, Ye Ling began to play on her Guqin. A melodious tone soon covered the entire flying ship.

Initially, Ye Ming was going to scold her harshly if the music suck, but to his surprise. It actually sounded good and very calming.

He closed his eyes and began enjoying the sound. This was the kind of relaxing music he would listen to when he typed on his computer to write his novel.

While Ye Ming was in approval of the music, Ye Ling also noticed his expression.

’Looks like I’ve chosen the correct music.’ Ye Ling thought to herself. She was truly afraid that the music was to his dislike.

Right now, the only thing she hoped was to earn Ye Ming’s favor to pardon her Father. Thus, she put her utmost effort into pleasing Ye Ming.

At the same time, she finally understood the struggles in the mortal lives when she went to their world.

She had witnessed maids and servant-status people constantly lowering their heads to another person. The person they lowered their head to was as weak as an ant in her eyes, so never understood why they were so afraid of them.

However, now that she was in a similar situation, she finally understood one thing.

Power does not just mean being strong. It could also mean status and the background of the said person.

Unknowingly, Ye Ling’s Music Dao suddenly improved dramatically and she soon entered into a trance after such realization.
