Chapter 1922 - Imperial Guards Return (2/2)

This person who was only prepared to add flowers to brocade truly became someone to genuinely deliver charcoal in the middle of the snow! (TLN: providing help in the hour of need)

However, this result caused Ye Xiao to be all the more bitterly disappointed.

…

Even if the flames of battle were developing more and more fiercely, gradually permeating the whole Human Realm Upon Heavens, the Life and Death Hall’s tree fortress remained the safest place in the world. Originally, the people in the vicinity of it were still able to have their hearts remain smooth and steady!

However, for the Eastern Sky Imperial Guard members who had been staying in front of the gates of the Life and Death tree fortress for quite some time now, their hearts were currently fluctuating wildly, anxious and hard to calm down.

The Human Realm Upon Heavens has comprehensively started to battle, what course should we follow now?

On top of that, from beginning to end they hadn’t had a single command come down. This… what to do?

If Ye Xiao had stayed like he had in the past, remaining completely neutral and not taking action, the group of Eastern Sky imperial guards could have continued to pass their days smoothly and steadily. After all, the Monarch’s Hall wasn’t involved in the war matters, and even though there was a centuries-large battle outside, as long as no one destroyed the sect, everyone just continued to be amusingly free and unfettered.

It was especially so that residing in the surroundings of the tree fortress to protect Miss Yeyue nearby would be better said to be a big opportunity instead. Cultivating in this area was absolutely better than cultivating in a so-called heavenly paradise. The group of Eastern Sky imperial guards had, on average, progressed by a level of strength or more during this time. This kind of peaceful, smooth and steady environment in addition to the holy land atmosphere, they would be stupid if they disliked spending even 1800 years there!

However, right now the situation had already radically changed. First, Ye Xiao had gotten involved in the century-large battle, and his neutral identity was lost. Even further, he had joined hands with Heaven’s Leaf together to perform a joint strike at the big Western Sky, causing the big Western Sky to arrive luckily at a defeat. Both sides already had no margin for error. No matter what, the West side Sky King was precisely the blood brother of the Sky Queen. They could only say that Ye Xiao joining hands with Heaven’s Leaf was equivalent to finding oneself on the opposite side of the Eastern Sky.

Because of this kind of identity’s standpoint, the group of Eastern Sky imperial guards couldn’t help but feel awkward. In any event, they shouldn’t be helping to guard the Monarch’s Hall’s front gate. Even if they still regarded themselves as guarding the gate, would the other side be able to trust them?!

Finally, Su Yeyue came out to clear up the matter. “You all go ahead and head back. I will stay here and accompany Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao is my husband, and even if it is dangerous he will also protect me. You all from beginning to end are the Eastern Sky Imperial Guard, and you have inseparable ties with the Eastern Sky. In this conflict for the whole world, perhaps we will also come into a conflicting position… You all staying here will only make things even more difficult to manage. It would be better to leave as early as possible and return to the Eastern Sky to report on the completion of your mission. This kind of impossible situation where advance and retreat are both hard naturally cannot continue.”

The little girl Su Yeyue’s words caused those people to fall silent.

Miss Yeyue’s words are very reasonable. Right now, the whole world is in chaos. Along with the Monarch’s Hall’s Monarch Ye entering the battle, the towering meaning of this event already cannot be concealed. Clearly a conflict of positions has already started to appear, and along with time passing, the conflict will only continue to escalate. How would they deal with this?

Since it was like this, they might as well directly go to the Eastern Sky army. Even if they died, they would be able to die with their hearts at peace.

A good long time later, the leader of the group of Eastern Sky imperial guards issued out an order, leading his force to strike camp and return.

Watching this group of people’s banner gently sway as they walked off into the distance, Su Yeyue had a sour feeling echo in her heart.

Yes, in the future… what should I do?

Right now… apart from relying completely on Ye Xiao, I truly have no other place to go in the Human Realm Upon Heavens…

The little girl stood there in a daze, her state of mind blank for a time.

“Girl, what are you thinking of? Your expression is rather strange?” Ye Xiao’s voice came through.

Hearing this familiar clear and sonorous voice, Su Yeyue’s many trains of thought abruptly came to a halt and she relaxed. Yes, ah, I only must stay at Big Brother Ye Xiao’s side. I… what am I afraid of?

Her lovable and delicate body slowly leaned over and entered Ye Xiao’s embrace. Su Yeyue showed a rarely seen trace of weakness. “Big Brother Ye Xiao, I was thinking that it has really been a good long time since I have seen Father and Mother…”
