The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1545 - 1542: What I Know

"Ling Xiao, greetings to all fellow Daoists."

The newcomer was none other than Emperor General Ling Xiao.

Although he spoke as if acknowledging everyone, he stood with his hands behind his back, eyes domineering.

Among those present were the top experts of Daozhou’s major forces, but none were deserving of his serious regard.

For he was Emperor General Ling Xiao.

One of the ten Emperor Generals under Empress Changxi!

One of the beings closest to the pinnacle of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

The entire hall was silent.

"Wuming Sword Sage..."

At this time, Zhou Zihuang, the Sect Master of the Emperor Immortal Sect, had his gaze fall on the person behind Emperor General Ling Xiao.

That was Wuming Sword Sage, the ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect, now standing behind Emperor General Ling Xiao.

Previously, when Wuming Sword Sage left the Emperor Immortal Sect, they thought he was traveling in the Xuanhuang Great World, but unexpectedly he had followed Emperor General Ling Xiao.

Historically recorded in the Emperor Immortal Sect, the catastrophe that occurred nine thousand years ago was orchestrated behind the scenes by the Double Emperors, besides the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect.

Wuming Sword Sage, had betrayed the Emperor Immortal Sect?

At that moment, Zhou Zihuang’s expression became somewhat unsightly.

The same went for Lv Tiangang and Li Kuangtu.

"Is this the Emperor General Ling Xiao?"

But the others were immersed in the impact of Emperor General Ling Xiao’s entrance.

"Paying respects to Emperor General Ling Xiao!"

For a moment, everyone rose to pay homage to Emperor General Ling Xiao.

"I am fully aware of your recent discussions. Rest assured, I will report this matter to the Empress and resolve it..."

Emperor General Ling Xiao said softly but stopped abruptly as he noticed a figure.

It was...

Emperor Ye!

Emperor General Ling Xiao’s pupils contracted slightly.

Wasn’t he supposed to be in the Desolate Realm?

Involuntarily, he glanced at Zuo Yangming, understanding why this guy had summoned him at this time.

This guy did it on purpose.

Zuo Yangming, however, acted as if he knew nothing, maintaining a composed demeanor.

Emperor General Ling Xiao had always monitored the affairs of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect and was well aware. However, his great-grandfather Zuo Yishan had explicitly stated that Emperor Ye had warned Emperor General Ling Xiao not to cause trouble at the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, so there was no need to fear excessively.

Yet, when attending this discussion, Emperor General Ling Xiao intended to report the matter to the Double Emperors during the meeting, prompting them to act. This was the moment he chose to appear.

Zuo Yangming could guess the motive behind Emperor General Ling Xiao’s actions. It was simply to bring the long-gone menace of the Double Emperors back to Daozhou and even to the Xuanhuang Great World, All Heavens, and Myriads of Worlds.

Despite his reluctance, Zuo Yangming had no choice but to agree, given his position relative to Emperor General Ling Xiao.

What he didn’t expect was that Ye Xuan arrived midway through the meeting.

Zuo Yangming immediately formed a plan in his mind. If Emperor General Ling Xiao insisted on invoking the Double Emperors’ names during the meeting, so be it.

Hence, the current scene unfolded.

Ye Xuan, though unaware of the deeper reasons, understood the intention when someone mentioned the two traitors at the meeting, coinciding with Emperor General Ling Xiao’s appearance.

It seemed his power recovery was progressing at a pace that made the traitors restless, fearing his influence in the Lower Realm would grow, prompting them to act.

This was what Emperor General Ling Xiao had previously mentioned to Ye Xuan about purging the Lower Realm forces in the name of the Empress.

However, from Ye Xuan’s perspective, such actions appeared somewhat childish.

"Please continue." Ye Xuan said with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Everyone noticed the unusual demeanor of Emperor General Ling Xiao. When Ye Xuan spoke, they were even more bewildered.

What did this mean?

Did they know each other?

Emperor General Ling Xiao sensed Ye Xuan’s gaze but maintained his composure, continuing, "I will report this matter to the Empress and ensure it is resolved."

"The predecessors of many fellow Daoists are under the Empress’s command. The Heavenly Dao Suppression will inevitably be lifted, and they will descend to the Lower Realm from the Heavenly Domain one after another. Then you will understand."

"......"

Unperturbed, Emperor General Ling Xiao praised Empress Changxi, despite Ye Xuan’s presence.

Ye Xuan found it rather tedious listening and decided to leave.

Fang Xinyan followed suit.

However, Wu Muchen listened intently.

In reality, his mind was elsewhere.

After all, he was Luo Chen Immortal King.

Seeing Ye Xuan and Fang Xinyan leave, many were surprised. That was Emperor General Ling Xiao!

How dare they?

After Ye Xuan and Fang Xinyan departed, the Sovereign of the Sect from the Heavenly Demon Sea immediately remarked, "This person is arrogant as always, daring to show such disrespect to the Emperor General. It truly is a lack of awareness of life and death."

"He should be suppressed!"

Many expressed their stance promptly.

Emperor General Ling Xiao represented Empress Changxi.

Forming a good relationship with him would greatly benefit both the Sect and oneself.

Upon hearing this, Emperor General Ling Xiao remained silent, dismissing it with a smile.

For he knew Ye Xuan’s identity.

After leaving the Floating Mountain, Fang Xinyan led Ye Xuan towards the Supreme Pavilion.

"May I discuss something with you?"

On the road, Fang Xinyan looked at Ye Xuan.

"What is it?" Ye Xuan responded calmly.

"Could I challenge the Double Emperors before you?" Fang Xinyan asked.

Ye Xuan shook his head silently.

He had made his stance clear.

Fang Xinyan squinted, eyes glinting with an eerie red light, "I think they were wrong."

"Especially that one named Changxi."

"She doesn’t even understand what love is."

Ye Xuan halted, looked at Fang Xinyan, and gently ruffled her hair, speaking softly, "I know."

Fang Xinyan gazed at Ye Xuan, her eyes brimming with sadness, "You’ve borne too much suffering alone."

"It is this pain that forged the present me."

Ye Xuan smiled gently.

Fang Xinyan sighed softly, "You’re still the same as before."

Ye Xuan looked at Fang Xinyan, seeing once again the girl who loved wearing red long ago, and said with a smile, "Aren’t you the same?"

Fang Xinyan was taken aback, then she began to laugh.

Laughing heartily.

They walked side by side.

Just like the old days.

Fang Xinyan didn’t inquire about Ye Xuan’s experiences over the years, choosing only to share amusing stories from the past.

Dismiss the troubles, leave the happiness.

Only now did Fang Xinyan gradually comprehend.

Loving someone means that seeing the other happy makes you genuinely happy too, even if you can’t stay together forever. It doesn’t seem so disheartening anymore.

At the very least, they were both still around, still enjoying each other’s company and conversation.

That was quite good already.

Upon reaching the Supreme Pavilion, the two waved goodbye, Fang Xinyan returning to Qilin Valley, and Ye Xuan went to Suyun Palace to find Gai the Madman.

Just arriving at the entrance of Suyun Palace, Gai the Madman’s wild laughter was heard rapidly approaching.

"Brother Emperor Ye, you’ve finally come!"

"Quick, quick, quick, let me share something good with you!"

"This Dao Chu Immortal Skill, I’ve finally comprehended it!"
