Chapter 575: Chapter 28 Piled Up Close
Lu Yue was summoned and arrived at the forbidden area of the Immortal Island of the Lu Family Sacred Clan.
Her status was now different from before. She was no longer an insignificant family member but had become the Saintess of the Lu Family Sacred Clan. All kinds of expensive and luxurious cultivation resources and rare treasures were within her easy reach.
However, the price was the loss of freedom. Unless there was a family command, she was no longer allowed to leave the Lu Family Sacred Land. News from the outside world had long been cut off. She only found out about the Glazed Sect declaring war on the Spirit Venerable Realm several months later.
As for news about Ye Changsheng, it was even more…
“Sigh.”
Lu Yue couldn’t help but sigh. If only she could see Ye Changsheng one more time, at least to say a proper goodbye.
“What are you sighing about?”
A stern voice sounded behind Lu Yue, startling her. She instinctively turned around and bowed to Lu Yi behind her.
“Greetings, Sacred Master. I was just thinking about the future of the Sacred Clan. The Glazed Sage of the Glazed Sect wields the Dao Slaying Divine Weapon, the Karma Fire Fan. They are a very formidable opponent. I am worried about the future of the Sacred Clan.”
“You don’t need to worry too much about the future of the Sacred Clan. I will handle everything. And…” Lu Yi’s voice deepened, “Xiao Yue, lying is not good.”
“…!”
Lu Yue wanted to calm herself down, but under the gaze of the Lu Family Sacred Master, it felt as if all her thoughts were seen through, and any sophistry was futile.
“I understand. At your age, it’s natural to have fantasies about people your age. I won’t blame you, but don’t forget your identity.”
“…Yes, I will strictly follow your teachings, Sacred Master.”
Lu Yue felt powerless before Lu Yi. This was the Sacred Master who governed countless beings; even a world in his eyes was merely dust that could be annihilated at any moment.
He was too great, and Lu Yue was too small. Even if she cultivated for another thousand years, she couldn’t reach such a height, like a mortal seeing a cultivator.
“Follow me,” Lu Yi said.
“Yes, Sacred Master.”
Lu Yi led Lu Yue deeper into the forbidden area of the Immortal Island. Lu Yue felt a powerful restriction. If not for Lu Yi’s protection, she would have been crushed into pieces long ago.
At the destination, Lu Yue saw the ultimate secret of the Lu Family Sacred Clan—
The Xingtian Axe.
The colossal Xingtian Axe floated in mid-air, sealed by a massive amount of chains. Each chain was inscribed with ancient primordial imperial script, sealing the energy of the Dao Slaying Divine Weapon.
If it lost its restraints and the Xingtian Axe were to smash down, it could obliterate the ten thousand Immortal Islands of the Lu Family in an instant.
“It’s so magnificent,” Lu Yue couldn’t help but exclaim.
Although she had heard about the Dao Slaying Divine Weapon of the Lu Family Sacred Clan, this was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.
“As long as we possess the Xingtian Axe, the Sacred Clan will prosper forever. This is why our Lu Family has remained unshaken for a million years,” Lu Yi said, changing the subject. “However, the Xingtian Axe has developed a defect, and we are finding it difficult to repair.”
With Lu Yi’s pointed explanation, Lu Yue saw the cracks on the Xingtian Axe and immediately understood that such a divine weapon was beyond the imagination of the cultivators in the Myriad Worlds. It was not a realm that current cultivators could reach, and naturally, no one could repair the flaw.
“If anything happens to the Xingtian Axe, then our Sacred Clan will…” Lu Yi slowly looked at Lu Yue. “Xiao Yue, I think you understand.”
“…I do.”
“Xiao Yue, you are different. You are not like the others.”
Lu Yue fell silent.
She was aware of why she had returned to become the Saintess of the Lu Family Sacred Clan and her special physique.
Lu Yi remained silent. this period of silence made Lu Yue unbearable, and she wanted to escape from here.
But the mere presence of this man was enough to make Lu Yue abandon any thought of defiance.
Lu Yi suddenly said, “Xiao Yue, do you remember your parents?”
“Parents…?!” Lu Yue trembled.
“Xiao Yue, your father was very outstanding. The Sacred Clan was once proud of him,” Lu Yi narrated. “Originally, according to the Sacred Clan’s arrangements, his future was limitless. However, he did a foolish thing that ruined his future.”
Lu Yue closed her eyes, still able to recall her parents’ faces.
“Your father abandoned his family for a woman who was not outstanding, pursuing that ridiculous happiness, and severing ties with the Sacred Clan.”
“However, will things really turn out as he thought? The Sacred Clan severed ties with him, but outsiders will not see it that way.”
“Without the protection of the Sacred Clan, your father and your ordinary mother could do nothing when facing great powers.”
Just as Lu Yi said.
Lu Yue’s father, in pursuit of his love, rejected the marriage arrangement made by the Lu Family Sacred Clan, rebelled against the Lu Family Sacred Clan, and eloped with the woman he loved, living in

a world, and gave birth to Lu Yue.
The incident caused a huge stir. The powerful immortal saint force that was to marry into the Lu Family Sacred Clan was betrayed, almost causing the Lu Family to be unable to handle the situation.
But the final outcome was not happy. Some powerful beings connected with the Lu Family Sacred Clan discovered Lu Yue’s parents. After a fierce battle, Lu Yue’s parents died. If not for the Lu Family’s intervention, Lu Yue would likely have died too.
“To protect you, I lied to the rest of the family, saying you were a distant relative’s illegitimate daughter, and sent you to a remote world.”
“…Yes, I know everything. Therefore, I am very grateful to the Sacred Master,” Lu Yue replied.
“Furthermore, I went against everyone’s wishes and brought your father and mother back to the Sacred Clan’s ancestral temple, so they would not be left to rot in the wilderness but returned to the clan.”
“Before his death, Father always regretted betraying the family. I know very well…”
“To this day, I still regard him as my son,” Lu Yi said slowly. “And you are also my granddaughter. I hope you will not repeat your father’s mistakes.”
“Grandfather… I am very grateful to the family and am willing to pay everything for the Sacred Clan to repay the favor the Sacred Clan has shown me.”
Lu Yi’s gaze shifted slightly, and he nodded, showing his approval.
“Pay everything? Excellent resolve…”
…
Ye Changsheng returned to the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
The other cultivators of the Taiyi Immortal Sect were very nervous, all watching Ye Changsheng without speaking. Even the Grand Xuan Immortal Master, who had interacted with him and was somewhat familiar with him before, dared not step forward to strike up a conversation.
There was only one reason—
the Dao Slaying Divine Weapon.
Everyone knew that the owner of the Dao Slaying Divine Weapon guarded by the Qilin in the Huangt Sect ruins was Ye Changsheng. He had temporarily lent the sword sheath to the Taiyi Immortal Sect, and due to subsequent circumstances, it could not be returned.
It was known that in the past, the Lu Family Sacred Clan had repeatedly oppressed the Taiyi Immortal Sect, but because they possessed the Dao Slaying Divine Weapon, the Taiyi Immortal Sect had to tolerate it and dare not court disaster.
In these ten years, the Taiyi Immortal Sect had truly experienced the benefits of a Dao Slaying Divine Weapon for the first time. With the sword sheath, the Taiyi Sage could contend with the Lu Family Sacred Clan.
Now they had become truly assertive, and the Lu Family Sacred Clan had begun to fear the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
Not to mention the other forces in the Spirit Venerable Realm. The Blazing Flame Alliance, which claimed to be third, had become a mere underling. They had to take detours when they saw people from the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
All of this was due to that sword sheath.
But the actual owner was Ye Changsheng. He had the Grandmaster Token, and defying it would be like betraying his ancestors. Moreover, given the Taiyi Sage’s character, if Ye Changsheng spoke, he would not refuse to return it.
However, without the sword sheath, the Taiyi Immortal Sect would lose all of this. Everyone was afraid.
“Yun’er, it’s up to you! Go and build a good relationship with Ye Duanming. The better the relationship, the better!” The Grand Xuan Immortal Master secretly transmitted to the Saintess of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. (Monthly subscription group [World-Weary Novels Transfer Station 1937929266]

“Ah?” Yunhua Fairy was stunned.
The other cultivators also repeatedly hinted at Yunhua Fairy with their eyes, clearly placing all their hopes on her.
In the Huangt Sect ruins, everyone knew that Ye Changsheng had saved Yunhua Fairy, and he seemed to treat the Taiyi Saintess specially.
Therefore, a honey trap was necessary here. No matter the method, they had to keep this golden bachelor!
Yunhua Fairy did not expect her sect elders to have such expectations of her, to ask her to repay the Taiyi Immortal Sect in this manner.
“Immortal Master, please don’t make things difficult for me!” Yunhua Fairy said.
“What difficulty?” The Grand Xuan Immortal Master transformed into Wang Zhenxiang, acting very skillfully. “Don’t you think Ye Duanming is an exceptionally talented genius? Surviving in the Huangt Sect ruins is definitely the work of the Son of Destiny!”
“But…”
“What ‘but’? Come on, this is about gaining Ye Duanming’s favor. Don’t forget what happened between you two; you have a great chance.”
The Grand Xuan Immortal Master was impatient, wishing he could go up and snuggle with Ye Changsheng himself, but alas, he was an old man.
When Yunhua Fairy remembered what had happened before, she became shy. She still hadn’t gotten her panties back!!
“Master, you misunderstood. I don’t have any…”
“Hey, do you think I’m stupid? I saw it long ago, you like Ye Duanming!”
“No!”
Yunhua Fairy blushed instantly. She really wanted to explain about her panties, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Her heart pounded, and she couldn’t understand what was happening.
“If you don’t go, I’ll ask someone else to go!” The Grand Xuan Immortal Master threatened. “Even if we have to use some… adult methods, we must keep Ye Duanming!”
“I’ll go, I’ll go!”
Yunhua Fairy had no choice but to walk up and communicate with Ye Changsheng under everyone’s gaze.
When Ye Changsheng saw Yunhua Fairy approaching and looked at the expressions of the other cultivators, who looked guilty and avoided his gaze, he, having spent many years surrounded by women, immediately understood the situation.
A honey trap, he had seen plenty of those.
“Hello, Ye Duanming. It’s been ten years. You… have grown taller.”

Yunhua Fairy seemed a little uncomfortable.
Ye Changsheng smiled. She was almost a different person from the first time they met.
“Sister Fairy, I’ve finally grown taller than you.”
“Um… Ye Duanming, I have something I want to say to you.” Yunhua Fairy mustered her courage.
“Mhm, I’m listening. Go ahead,” Ye Changsheng nodded.
The cultivators of the Taiyi Immortal Sect held their breath, swallowing nervously. The atmosphere became increasingly tense, and everyone was waiting for Yunhua Fairy to speak, focusing on the magic array that followed.
Yunhua Fairy’s gaze wandered, and her voice was low, but loud enough for Ye Changsheng to hear, “Actually, I’ve always wanted to say one thing to you—”
“Yingyingying! Yingyingying! Yingyingying!”
The Little Fox jumped out from Ye Changsheng’s robe and interrupted Yunhua Fairy with its shrill voice.
“Eh?” Yunhua Fairy was stunned.
“Yingyingying!!”
The Little Fox stuck out its tongue at Yunhua Fairy with a look of disdain, then snuggled close to Ye Changsheng’s cheek, nuzzling him.
“Demon Race?” Yunhua Fairy did not expect Ye Changsheng to be carrying a little fox from the Demon Race.
“Let me introduce you. This is my…” Ye Changsheng paused intentionally. “Partner, Zhong Yanhan.”
Everyone initially thought this little fox was just Ye Changsheng’s spirit beast or something, but the little fox suddenly spoke, “Woman, stop daydreaming. You and Duanming are impossible.”
“What?” Yunhua Fairy was shocked for the second time.
The Little Fox snorted, proudly puffing out its chest. “Don’t think I can’t see what you’re scheming! I’m telling you, you’re not worthy!!”
“You little fox, how can you be so rude?”
Yunhua Fairy was directly exposed, feeling embarrassed. She wanted to lash out but couldn’t do so directly.
The Little Fox jumped down directly, flicked its tail, and in front of everyone, transformed into a stunning silver-haired, red-eyed beautiful maiden. This shocked everyone for the third time.
Who would have thought that this little fox was such a beautiful fairy?
And with fox ears and a tail, the Taiyi Immortal Sect cultivators, accustomed to human fairies, found this fox fairy incredibly novel, their eyes glued to her. It was rare for a demon to achieve immortality!
Rarity made it precious, and they immediately felt she was incredibly beautiful.
The Little Fox looked at Yunhua Fairy, tilting its head slightly, the corners of its mouth turning up in a mocking yet polite arc, “Give up. In terms of beauty, you can’t compete with me.”
Yunhua Fairy was dumbfounded.
“Understood? Duanming already has me, so don’t you dare dream of—wooooo!”
Ye Changsheng tapped the Little Fox’s head. The Little Fox instantly softened, reverted to its original form, and hid behind Ye Changsheng.
“I apologize, Fairy Yunhua. My partner was just joking. Please don’t take her words to heart.”
“Mm, mm-hmm…” Yunhua Fairy nodded numbly, unable to keep up with the pace.
“By the way, what did you want to say to me just now?” Ye Changsheng asked.
“Ah… N-nothing, I just wanted to thank you. I never had the chance to say it before, and I almost thought I wouldn’t have the chance again.” Yunhua Fairy replied.
She glanced at the Little Fox, which was making faces at her by Ye Changsheng’s feet, and had lost its initial ferocity. It knew when to retreat.
“Okay, now I know,” Ye Changsheng replied.
“Ye Duanming, come with me.” The Taiyi Sage appeared and said to Ye Changsheng, “It’s all prepared. Let’s go.”
“Alright.”
Ye Changsheng stood up, preparing to follow the Taiyi Sage. Before leaving, he moved his finger and transmitted something into Yunhua Fairy’s hand.
Yunhua Fairy was startled and immediately understood what it was, hastily putting it away.
She hesitated, wanting to call out to Ye Changsheng, but looking at the retreating figures of the man and the fox, she ultimately did not speak, yet she felt something had been broken.
…
The Little Fox was very happy. “Changsheng, how was my performance!”
“Very good. You performed with great dedication. I almost believed it was real,” Ye Changsheng said.
In fact, Ye Changsheng had secretly nudged the Little Fox earlier, which gave it the courage to be so unrestrained and perform so passionately.
However, in reality, what the Little Fox had said was not just an act; it was actually… the truth.
The Little Fox shyly said, “Of course! I, I am Changsheng’s best tool fox. Use me to my fullest potential in the future.”
