Chapter 1007: Suspicion
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
Ye Xiao seriously spoke, “Lady, please. I will tell everything I know.”
He promised such, so Xuan Bing was about to ask the question. However, she thought deeper and only found that she didn’t truly figure out how to say it out.
That question that had been hidden inside her heart for a long time was just hanging there. She had this question since she got her memory back, however, it was just roughly a feeling rather than an actual question. She didn’t really have a specific question.
However, when Han Bingxue showed up, the question was becoming clearer.
“Here is the question…” She thought for a while about how to say it and then she said, “I know where you come from. You are from the Land of Han-Yang, the monarch of Ling-Bao Hall. Your name is not Ye Jun. You are Ye Xiao. You are the son of Ye Nantian the Great Northern General of the Kingdom of Chen. Am I correct?”
When she said so, her heart was beating fast.
“Yes.” Ye Xiao looked calmed. “However, since you have put it frankly, I have one more question. How did you get my information? Bing Xinyue and Wenren Chuchu know about me, but not much. Please, could you give me an answer.”
Xuan Bing said, “There are more than only two ladies in the Misty Cloud Palace. They are not the only two who know about you.”
When she said it, she blushed.
She was telling the truth. However, she didn’t tell him that the two ladies didn’t tell her anything about Ye Xiao.
“I see what you mean.” Ye Xiao was a bit disappointed. [So she isn’t Bing’er?]
“Speaking of your name, it reminds me of an old friend.” Xuan Bing said, “Ye Xiao.”
Ye Xiao was surprised. He hurriedly answered, “I am right here.”
He knew she was going to talk about Xiao Monarch, so he hurriedly answered it in order to interrupt.
Xuan Bing gritted her teeth and said, “Are you the Ye Xiao, the young Lord Ye or the other Ye Xiao, Xiao Monarch?”
Ye Xiao said, “I don’t get it. I have heard about a great cultivator who had the same name with me in the Qing-Yun Realm, but he died a long time ago. When he died, I was in the Land of Han-Yang. I have no connection to him. The only thing that we shared is our name.”
Xuan Bing blandly said, “Is it true? Ye Xiao was suffering from a deadly disease when he was a boy. His background seems to be a secret. He was a stupid foppish young lord, who bullied around when he was young…” She started to narrate Ye Xiao’s life.
“He was poisoned once. When he was awakened and cured, his personality totally changed. He became a genius who was good at both martial arts and literature. He had lots of friends and became an enemy to the House of Chaotic Storms. He improved greatly fast in cultivation. When he was young, he already ascended to the upper realm.”
Xuan Bing asked, “May I ask, do you think that it is supposed to be what his life should be?”
Ye Xiao smiled and said, “The return of a prodigal son is always laudable. Can’t I be a prodigal son? Why not?”
Xuan Bing blandly said, “I just feel it unbelievable. It is too much a change. How is that believable?”
Ye Xiao said, “You worry too much.”
Xuan Bing frowned and said, “You said I worry too much. Maybe I do. However, I just feel so sad that my old friend Ye Xiao passed away when he was so young.”
Ye Xiao said, “Old friend?”
He pretended to be interrogative.
He knew the truth was he absolutely didn’t know this lady in his previous life. He hadn’t even met her. She was lying about the “old friend”.
[She said I was her old friend. Is she trying to deceive?]
Xuan Bing’s eyes lit up. She said, “He is dead for long. It is meaningless to keep talking about him. I worry too much. Forgive me, young Brother Ye.”
Then she didn’t talk about it again.
Ye Xiao was confused. [Why did she believe me so easily? Is she going to play some other tricks?]
[I just slightly denied it and she actually gave up.]
Xuan Bing stopped talking. She went straight back to her tent.
Ye Xiao faced the stars in the sky alone. Suddenly, he was in confusion.
[What is this?]
[What is going on?]
However, he didn’t just waste his time staying there. He never stopped absorbing the spiritual qi. The night just passed in the silence.
He was trying it in a different way than before. He was trying to find a location where he could absorb the spiritual qi faster than other places.
He had failed many times. Xuan Bing had warned him, but she didn’t believe there was spiritual qi that couldn’t be absorbed.
The cold wind at dawn was blowing over. He felt a bit chilled. When he was about to stand up, he decided to sit still and keep his head, his palms, and soles up facing the sky.
At this moment, he accidentally sensed an enormous purple qi erupting from the east before the sun came out!
The purple qi was like pouring down from a huge hole in the sky.
The entire Oracle District was filled by the purple qi!
Ye Xiao kept absorbing the endless purple qi like he was utterly thirsty. He could clearly feel that the purple qi from the east in this morning was much more enormous than those in any other morning.
What made it special was that the purple qi seemed to have a destination this time. It kept pouring over to the Oracle District.
If there were ten portions of purple qi in the world, at this moment, there were ninety percent filling the Oracle District!
Ye Xiao kept absorbing the purple qi and he could clearly feel the purple qi growing in his dantian. He was just enjoying it, but then he found the purple qi became difficult to absorb.
It started to become difficult after one hour. At the first hour, he absorbed the spiritual qi like usual. He could absorb it as he wishes. After one hour, the purple qi became part of the air in this area. The spiritual qi in the air became utterly energetic.
He could never take in any spiritual qi anymore!
“What the hell is going on? This is supposed to be a great opportunity! Does it just disappear?” Ye Xiao stood up. He was quite upset, looking at the land under his feet.
The purple qi was not the problem. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the first one hour. The only problem was very possibly the land under his feet!
