Chapter 1602: Matriarch Yu (2/2)

Yu Zhengfeng sealed his sister back then and spent an entire generation to acc.u.mulate enough materials before asking Li Qiye to save her. Because of this fateful encounter, they joined the Black Dragon Legion. After many victories and meritorious contributions, Matriarch Yu became the first general of the legion.

“It’s all because you showed love for me and our clan.” She gently sighed.

At this moment, she was willing to come out again to work for Li Qiye and same with her clan. However, he wouldn’t agree to this.

“This is what you and your clan deserve.” Li Qiye said with a smile.

“It’s a pity that the juniors are so incompetent. Otherwise, this wouldn’t be happening to me. Big brother doesn’t want to look at these unworthy children so my old bones have no choice but to live on in this sad manner.”

“Zhengfeng can still live for a very long time.” Li Qiye nodded: “Alas, he has the World-weary Dao. It’s understandable that he doesn’t care for the descendants. In his eyes, the Yu Clan doesn’t need his attention.”

“Big brother…” She became sad when talking about her brother.

No one might remember a famous character like Yu Zhengfeng in the current generation, an Emperor Contender hiding in Discover.

But Matriarch Yu will always remember. Zhengfeng started on this invincible path just to save his beloved sister back then.

“Big brother didn’t use to be like this back then. He was a bright and energetic person on top of being very magnanimous but the trial of love overwhelmed him. He grew tired and no longer care for mundane matters.” She stated.

“No.” Li Qiye shook his head: “Your big brother has made peace with his failed love for Immortal Emperor Qian Li. His inner demon isn’t about love but himself. After choosing this dao, it is exceedingly difficult to turn back. The farther he went, the stronger he became and the more he grew tired of mortal issues. In the end, he became cursed, not even the heavens want to take him.”

“He’ll have to stay this way?” She had to ask. She didn’t wish for him to suffer such a dark fate in the upcoming years.

“No one can help him if he doesn’t want to leave.” Li Qiye shook his head: “He knew what he was getting himself into and what he would have to face. Because of this, he fought against Immortal Emperor Qian Li back then one last time but she didn’t want to kill him.”

“He probably made up his mind to walk on that imperial dao just to save me back then.” She smiled bitterly, realizing the price her brother paid just to save her.

“He created his own grand dao back then. In fact, it was a very amazing one so he had escaped the World-weary Dao yet he returned again. His choice was the same as Immortal Emperor Mu Zhuo.” Li Qiye commented.

“Mu Zhuo was an emperor then so his fortune and cultivation were greater than your big brother but he still went back to this terrible dao to be forever cursed. It was their choice, no one can do anything about it.” Li Qiye smiled wryly as well.

“Why did the emperor choose this path? He already had an imperial way.” Matriarch Yu didn’t quite understand.

The emperor’s grand dao was enough to shoulder the Heaven’s Will. It was a mighty and unstoppable path. But in the end, he gave up this dao and chose his previous World-weary Dao. No one could imagine such a choice.

“I don’t know. I’m afraid no one knows the reason either, just some guesses.” Li Qiye chuckled: “Some believe that he did it to live even longer. Or maybe this is a type of running away. However, I don’t think so.”

“Then what’s the reason?” She asked.

Li Qiye pondered for a bit before answering: “I don’t know either. We’ll have to ask the emperor himself in order to find the answer but if he won’t tell anyone else, there’s no way to know then.”
