Realms In The Firmament

The angry shout was resounding in everybody’s heart.

The six old masters on Ye Yunduan’s side all felt ashamed. They knew that Master Guan was right. They pushed Master Guan out to do all the works in the Monarch’s Hall. The six other masters had been hiding behind the scene. They were supporting Master Guan.

Now, they urged Master Guan to give up on Ye Xiao.

Ye Yunduan’s appearance had changed everything!

The Seven Golden Lotuses should support the real descendant of the Great Ye Clan. They wouldn’t deny it. In fact, the six old masters were doing their jobs. Even though Master Song, Master Yun, and Master Ju did not really want to do this, they had no choice. Besides, they weren’t as close to Ye Xiao as Master Guan. Master Guan had done so much, and it wasn’t easy for him to give it up right now.

In fact, what he gave to the Monarch’s Hall was not that important. What hurt him was the love and care he gave to the Monarch’s Hall. It wouldn’t be easy for him to just leave!

This might not be a good metaphor, but it showed a part of the truth. He was like a young lady who loved a young man and had been through a lot with him. While the lady and the man finally had their sweet days to come, somebody came to tell the young lady, “You made a mistake. That man is not your Mister Right. Leave him, and go to your fiancé over there.”

How did the lady feel?

It was not a good metaphor, but that was the truth. It showed how Master Guan felt at the moment.

The other six old masters knew that it was difficult to calm Master Guan.

They truly had done wrong to him. However, it was a matter of the Seven Golden Lotuses. They had been waiting for a hundred thousand years for this descendant to come. Now the six of the seven clans were together on the right one’s side. No matter how unwilling the Guan Clan was, they must stick to the right choice…

None of them dared to say it though. If any of them dared to say it out, Master Guan would fight with his life against it!

Ye Xiao was touched. His eyes were full of emotions. He took a deep breath and held the emotion back to the bottom of his heart. He stepped forward and coldly said, “Master Guan, I know what you mean. I am grateful for what you did. However… your clan is one of the Seven Golden Lotuses. Nobody can deny it. I am not the man you want. We are not the same… So…”

“Go now.” Ye Xiao said.

“Lord Monarch… Even you… Do you want me to go?” Master Guan stared at Ye Xiao and said, “Do you know that after I leave, the Monarch’s Hall will collapse? Do you know after what you just did, the seven clans would never let the Monarch’s Hall live? This is not a joke. You must know.”

Ye Xiao peacefully said, “I know. However, I don’t want to be slandered. I don’t want to mislead somebody else to keep myself safe. I would rather die with dignity than live dishonorably.

“I, Ye Xiao, would rather die standing… than live by bowing under another’s roof!”

Master Guan was shaking harder. His white beards were flickering. After a while, he shouted and said, “I want to check the Bloodline Jade Plate again!”

Master Qin was annoyed. “Old Guan, this is insane. Master Yunduan is the true descendant. The ancestors of our clans proved it. What do you want? What do you want to prove?”

Master Guan’s eyes were full of anger. He said, “Qin Wudao, now I know how vile you are! When you got benefits from Lord Monarch, what did you say? Didn’t you enjoy those dan beads so much? Who never stopped praising the young man? Now that one thing changed, and you pointed at me! Do you think those dan beads were free? Master Ye gave them to me, and that was the only reason you were lucky to have some! I didn’t keep them to myself, and Master Ye wasn’t a fool to let me keep so many dan beads to myself!”

Qin Wudao’s face turned red, and he humphed. “That was a different time. Things have changed. What is the point to live in the past?”

Master Guan bitterly smiled and angrily said, “A different time, huh? Live in the past, huh? Qin Wudao, you are such a shameless sh*t! Give me back the dan beads then! I don’t want them all back. Just give me one! Can you do that?”

Qin Wudao’s face turned really red as if his face was bleeding. However, he couldn’t say a word. The dan beads he obtained from Master Guan were perfect cures for his illness. He ate them when he got them. Those dan beads were all in the supreme level. He could never find one supreme dan bead to give back to Master Guan. Everybody knew the truth, so he could not lie about it!

In fact, the dan-making industry in the Human Realm Upon Heavens was the same as the Land of Han-Yang and Qing-Yun Realm. Supreme dan beads only existed in tales. Any supreme dan bead could drive all the dan makers in the Human Realm Upon Heavens crazy.

Qin Wudao talked like the dan beads were not that important, but he knew it was not true. Ye Xiao gave these people too many supreme dan beads, which made people thought that a supreme dan bead wasn’t that rare!

Ye Yunduan did not want to wait anymore because he wanted Ye Xiao to make dan beads for him. He knew that Ye Xiao was a great dan maker. That was why he showed himself and did all this!
