That's not right either.
Meng Die and Ye Changshu must have known each other before me. If anyone was cuckolded, it should be him cuckolding Ye Changshu.
No, no, no, what the hell am I thinking about?
Meng Die walked toward the tomb step by step, her emotions fluctuating, as if she didn't hear Su Chen's question.
Ye Changshu stopped Su Chen, not letting him go with Meng Die.
"Let Little Die visit her father alone. They've been separated for eight hundred years, and the next time they meet, they'll be separated forever. Little Die's heart must be very weak right now, and she doesn't want anyone to disturb her," Ye Changshu said.
"You know Little Die very well?" Su Chen asked with a frown.
Ye Changshu said, "Don't misunderstand, Little Die and I only met for a period of time at Spiritual Mountain. Back then, Royal Yuze cultivated there for two years, and Little Die also stayed there with her father for two years. At that time, we were about the same age and were still ignorant and naive, so we often played together. Back then, Little Die wasn't as gentle as she is now. She was the most mischievous child on Spiritual Sword Peak, and because she was the young miss of the Heavenly Clan, no one dared to provoke her. At that time, more than half of the children on Spiritual Sword Peak were bullied by her. At that time, I had just been adopted by Master and had some status, so those children all came to me to complain, asking me to stand up for them, and then …"
"And then what?"
Ye Changshu touched his nose and smiled. "I still remember that day, Little Die punched my nose crooked, and I cried and went to Master."
"Uh …"
Su Chen blushed with shame. So this Ye Changshu wasn't some love rival, but the childhood target of his wife's bullying?
Alright, I guess I'm overthinking it.
However, Su Chen still felt a little strange.
Why would Royal Yuze bring Meng Die to Spiritual Mountain for two years? He didn't see this in Meng Die's memories.
Could it be that it was too long ago, so she couldn't remember clearly, or did Meng Die deliberately hide this memory and didn't want to bring it up again?
From the conversation just now, Su Chen learned that Meng Die's mother had passed away a long time ago, and Meng Die only left the Heavenly Clan after that. Could it be related to this matter?
Shaking his head, Su Chen did not continue to make wild guesses.
"Ye … Changshu, are you trying to stop Mengdie and me from returning to the Heavenly Clan?" Su Chen suddenly asked.
Now that he thought about it, if someone really wanted to stop them from coming to the Heavenly Clan, it was most likely Ye Changshu.
Ye Changshu didn't try to hide anything. He said generously, "That's right. I was the one who released the death cyclone. I didn't expect you to break it so easily. The assassins from the Dark Group were also sent by me. I didn't expect them to still be unable to stop you …"
Speaking of this, Ye Changshu paused and shook his head, "You shouldn't have come back. Spirit Mountain's annexation of the Boundless Heaven Boundary is a foregone conclusion. It's not something that can be changed by personal strength. After Xiao Die's worship, I will send you out of the Boundless Heaven Boundary. Go as far as you can. You are Xiao Die's man, so you must protect her and not let her suffer any harm."
"This is not something that I should decide. Everything depends on Little Butterfly's thoughts. If she wants to stay, I will stay with her. If she wants to leave, I will leave with her."
"You seem very confident. Are you not afraid of Spirit Mountain?" Ye Changshu asked curiously.
Su Chen smiled faintly. "Does Spirit Mountain rule the world by force?"
Ye Changshu was stunned. He didn't expect Su Chen to ask him such a question.
He thought for a moment, then said, "Of course not. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Spirit Mountain rules the world by force and is particular about the use of kindness and the use of force."
"Then since I didn't do anything wrong and I didn't resist Spirit Mountain, they naturally won't do anything to me. Why should I be afraid of Spirit Mountain?"
"Cough cough …."
Ye Changshu was speechless.
That was the principle, but how could everything in the world be so simple? Spirit Mountain ruled the world for seventy thousand years. Lady Providence's merits were unparalleled, and all living things submitted to her. When ordinary cultivators heard of Spirit Mountain's name, their hearts trembled and they fled like rats. Even the heroes of the Three Saints, Nine Caves, and Seventy-Two Manors had to lower their heads in the face of Spirit Mountain's majesty.
As the one who made the rules, Spirit Mountain's power and influence were deeply rooted. It wasn't that no one dared to challenge Spirit Mountain's authority, but … those challengers all died in the end.
Even as a disciple of Spirit Mountain, Ye Changshu still held a deep fear of Spirit Mountain in the depths of his heart.
The Great Development Peak stood at the pinnacle of all living things. In everyone's eyes, it represented invincibility and absolute. No one could blaspheme it.
Just from Su Chen's words, he had already committed the crime of blasphemy against Spirit Mountain. Although it wasn't a crime, who would dare take the risk of being disrespectful and challenge Spirit Mountain's authority? Challenge Lady Providence's authority?
"You …." In the end, Ye Changshu shook his head and said, "I'll go talk to Xiaodie. You won't understand."
At that moment, Meng Die had already walked out of the tomb.
She'd already seen her father's tombstone. That was enough.
"Xiaodie, you …."
Without waiting for Ye Changshu to finish, Meng Die interrupted him and said, "I'll leave, but before that, I need to solve the internal problems of the Yutian Clan. Spirit Mountain bullied my Yutian Clan. Since I've returned, I can't just sit by and watch. You should leave first. After all, we're enemies. It's not appropriate for you to say too much to me."
Ye Changshu was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Meng Die's attitude to be so unyielding. Was she not afraid of Spirit Mountain's authority?
What was wrong with these two? One was more reckless than the other. He couldn't pull her back.
Sure enough, if you weren't a family, you wouldn't enter the same house.
Ye Changshu shook his head helplessly and said, "Fine, I'll leave. I'll leave, okay? But I still need to remind you that Zhong Li is a cruel person. He's not as easy to talk to as I am. You can cause trouble however you want, but remember to leave before he reaches the Boundless Sky Realm. Otherwise, it won't end well for you if you fight with him."
"Thank you for the advice."
Su Chen cupped his hands and left with Meng Die.
Ye Changshu also rose on his sword and flew away.
Just as the two were about to leave the tomb, Heaven's Reign Peak suddenly walked towards them.
Heaven's Reign Peak stopped in his tracks and looked embarrassed. It was as if he'd been caught doing something bad. He looked away and didn't dare to raise his head.
Su Chen frowned and asked, "Why did you bring a shovel here?"
"I-I-I …."
Heaven's Reign Peak hurriedly threw the shovel aside and stammered, "I-I came to remove the weeds in the tomb."
"You're probably here to dig a hole to bury us."
Su Chen suddenly said.
Heaven's Reign Peak's face immediately turned pale. He threw himself on the ground and cried, "Cousin, please spare me. I didn't want to come. Mother told me to come. I didn't dare to disobey mother, or she'll kill me."
That's true.
But this Heaven's Reign Peak was a little too cowardly.
"Little Feng, stand up and talk."
Meng Die smiled and walked forward. "As long as you tell me everything that happened in the Heavenly Imperial Clan in the past half year, cousin won't blame you."
