Chapter 1601: Forefather Yu (2/2)

This astounded the ancestor. Just what kind of terrifying characters could this be that even his grandfather didn’t want to comment on?

“Li Qiye comes with menacing intent but he’s probably not on the same side as Gu Zun.” The ancestor said quickly: “We’re on the same side as Heaven Suppression with good ties with Ye Jiuzhou’s people. Gu Zun doesn’t need to aim for us, plus, Li Qiye also erased Gu Zun’s shadow on the scales.”

“We can’t predict Gu Zun’s actions with an ordinary perspective.” The forefather shook his head: “To call Gu Zun a genius is not unreasonable but to call him a stubborn madman is fine as well. A simple junior like you can’t speculate his thoughts.”

The ancestor obediently kept his mouth shut.

“Mother will be out tomorrow. Select a few descendants and let them see her because she might not see your group again later. As for Li Qiye, she’ll make a decision.” The forefather said.

“Her Venerable wants to come out!” The ancestor was ecstatic. Though the world knew that she was finished with her cultivation, she still hasn’t left her meditation. No one in the mansion was qualified to see her outside of Forefather Yu.

“Go.” The forefather ended with a wave of his sleeve.

The happy ancestor took a deep breath and bowed again before turning to leave.

“One more thing, no need to be so close with Soaring Immortal. We do not walk on the same path with them.” The forefather added.

The ancestor was dazed for a while. He eventually calmed down and had to comment: “Soaring Immortal indeed wants to befriend us. If we have an ally like them, the benefits will come.”

In fact, the seniors in the clan knew of Yu Yulian’s crush on Long Aotian and were happy to see it coming to fruition. Even Ancestor Yu wouldn’t mind her marrying into Soaring Immortal.

The forefather raised his voice: “What do you know?! In the eyes of Soaring Immortal, we are only tools to be used. Just shallow juniors like you are qualified to talk about an alliance with Soaring Immortal? Hmph, allying with them will bring about a sect-destroying disaster.”

“Well…” The ancestor hesitated and didn’t know what to say since deep down, he wanted to form this alliance.

“Just keep this in mind, no need to investigate any further. You’ll understand in the future, our foolish descendants cannot accomplish anything great, understand?”

The ancestor bowed deeply: “Your grandson will bear this in mind.” Even though he didn’t agree with this view, he was still very respectful towards his grandfather.

In the deepest location of the mansion was a forbidden area. The Yu descendants weren’t allowed here because this was their ancestral grandmother’s living area.

There was an old and simple shrine here that had experienced countless years and beaten by the weathers.

“Squeak.” The tightly-shut wooden doors finally opened. An elderly woman with white hair running down her temples came out. Nevertheless, one could still see that she was an amazing beauty judging by her current elegant demeanor.

She walked to the garden and looked at the flowering old trees and sighed disappointedly: “Old man, the trees we planted have blossomed but you are no longer here, leaving me all alone in this world now.”

“Who?!” Her eyes suddenly became serious during this sentimental moment. Her entire being changed and a mighty aura erupted just like a general that has swept through the nine heavens!

“The grand dao is always a solitary path, you’re not the one alone.” At this time, a young man floated over and said: “Qingfeng, long time no see.” [1]

The old woman was shaken to hear the greeting. Her eyes that were exuding frightening light widened as she stared at the young man in disbelief.

“Is, is this really you?” Her voice was trembling.

“Who else can control the twelve scales besides me? When I changed your const.i.tution back then, you also had the same expression, one that didn’t believe in miracles.” It was Li Qiye who answered with a smile.

“Your Excellency, it really is you!” The old woman shouted emotionally.

“Yes, it’s me.” He sentimentally spoke while looking at her: “It has been a while. Time is truly cruel.”

1. I messed up. Taijun is a feudal t.i.tle for an old woman that I haven’t seen before. It’ll be Matriarch Yu. Was debating between matriarch, matron, and dowager. Went back and manually corrected like 40 chapters, sigh. I need that auto-correcting feature so bad.
