Chapter 1479: What Is There To Be Afraid Of?

Seeing them, Ye Guan was visibly surprised. He turned to look at Sui Gujin.

"You didn't even discuss this with me," he said.

Sui Gujin calmly replied, "You wouldn't be able to carry this on your own, nor should you. Besides, if the Great Daoist Brush Master can call in reinforcements, why can't you? Even if you don't ask your aunt and father for help, there's nothing wrong with calling your other relatives, is there?"

Ye Guan shook his head with a wry smile. "Alright then."

The smile on the Great Daoist Brush Master's face froze.

Damn it!

He hadn't expected that Sui Gujin would go and notify those people of the upcoming fight. It was no wonder that she was so fearless.

Meanwhile, the crowd looked at the newcomers with puzzled expressions. They noticed that none of these people showed any visible cultivation base. It was a slightly strange sight.

Dao Xiao's gaze landed on the little creature perched on Erya's shoulder, Little White. A greedy glint flashed in his eyes as he said, "That's a Spirit Progenitor, and not just any Spirit Progenitor, but one with no upper limit."

No upper limit! It referred to a Spirit Progenitor with no limits to its spiritual energy reserves. It was a creature only heard in legends.

Everyone understood what that meant, and they all looked at Little White with unconcealed desire. Even Fan Tian, who was usually composed, revealed a flicker of greed in his eyes.

Encountering a Spirit Progenitor like that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Everyone was already thinking of how they could capture Little White for themselves.

Just then, Erya's voice rang loud and clear. "Hey! Little Guan! Long time no see!"

Little White waved her little paw at Ye Guan, greeting him.

Ye Guan smiled and said, "Erya, Little White, long time no see."

Then, he turned to An Nanjing and bowed respectfully. "Senior An."

Technically, by familial terms, he ought to call her "great-grandmother," but it didn't sound right to him. Calling her "Senior" was safer.

An Nanjing glanced at him, but her gaze soon settled on Sui Gujin.

With just one look, Sui Gujin felt an inexplicable chill run through her. Still, she remained composed.

An Nanjing withdrew her gaze and turned to where Ye Qingqing and the others were standing.

Ye Qingqing glanced at her, saying nothing.

The two had never really gotten along.

Mu Niannian, however, revealed a sweet smile. "Lady An, it's been a while."

An Nanjing nodded slightly as a greeting.

Ye Qingqing then looked at Ye Guan. When their eyes met, Ye Guan's expression immediately shifted. Out of all his family members, he feared Aunt Qingqing the most.

After sizing him up, Ye Qingqing's gaze finally landed on Sui Gujin. She calmly said, "Well, well. Another daughter-in-law."

Sui Gujin glanced at Ye Guan but said nothing.

Suddenly, Ye Qingqing turned to the Great Daoist Brush Master and said, "Hey, Great Daoist Dog, long time no see."

The Great Daoist Brush Master's face turned grim. "Ye Qingqing, mind your manners."

Ye Qingqing replied calmly, "Whatever, Great Daoist Dog."

The Great Daoist Brush Master simply ignored her. He knew too well that arguing with her would only end in humiliation.

Ye Qingqing glanced at the top-tier experts standing behind him and chuckled. "Great Daoist Dog, are you done yet? You've been stirring up trouble from my brother's era until now, don't you get tired at all?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master smiled. "The revolution has yet to succeed, how could I dare say that I'm tired?"

Ye Qingqing gave him a thumbs-up. "Great Daoist Dog, you sure have patience."

Slaughter glanced at the distant great hall and frowned.

Ye Qingqing also looked at the great hall. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and the sword in her hand trembled faintly.

The Great Daoist Brush Master suddenly chuckled. "I didn't expect Lady Sui to call all of you here, but it seems your presence won't change the outcome."

Ye Qingqing vanished from her spot.

Schwing!

A sword light slashed straight at the Great Daoist Brush Master.

With that slash, the surrounding spacetime was effortlessly torn apart.

The Great Daoist Brush Master swept his sleeve, and an overwhelming wave of Great Dao power surged forth, blocking her strike instantly.

Ye Qingqing raised her sword and swung down fiercely again.

Boom!

The vast Great Dao power was shattered in an instant!

The Great Daoist Brush Master countered by throwing a punch.

Boom!

A part of the sword light was pressed inward by that punch. It dented the sword light but could not shatter it.

The Great Daoist Brush Master stepped forward and threw another punch, and almost at the same time, Ye Qingqing slashed down fiercely with her sword.

Boom!

The moment his fist aura and her sword aura collided, the spacetime where they stood collapsed into nothingness.

Everyone's expressions changed dramatically.

Within that collapsed spacetime region, the Great Daoist Brush Master and Ye Qingqing faced each other from a distance.

Holding a long sword and wearing a flowing blue dress, Ye Qingqing looked cold and ethereal. Her eyes were filled with killing intent as well.

The Great Daoist Brush Master gently waved his hand, dispersing the lingering sword intent before him, and smiled. "Ye Qingqing, your strength has improved."

Ye Qingqing said nothing and simply turned into a towering beam of blue sword light that flew straight at the Great Daoist Brush Master.

The repaired spacetime between them instantly exploded once again.

The sword light obliterated everything in its path!

The Great Daoist Brush Master remained unafraid despite that. He stepped forward and casually threw a punch. Mysterious Great Dao energies surged out, suppressing Ye Qingqing's sword light when it was just several meters away from him.

A flash of ferocity flashed in Ye Qingqing's eyes. She leapt into the air, gripped her sword with both hands, and swung it down violently.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed, and the Great Daoist Brush Master's mysterious Great Dao energies were forcibly ripped apart.

The sword light surged forward, directly slashing toward his head. Yet, just before it could reach him, a terrifying energy erupted from him.

In a single instant, Ye Qingqing was blasted back to her original spot, and the scattering sword light around her obscured her from everyone's line of sight.

In the distance, the Great Daoist Brush Master was emanating a terrifying Great Dao aura. The intensity of his aura had clearly surpassed that of ordinary Void Breaking Realm cultivators.

Everyone was horrified, especially Mu Shanhe. He had just realized the man was even stronger than he had imagined.

Mu Shanhe couldn't help but glance at Ye Guan.

That guy's not entirely honest... I'll need to be more cautious when dealing with him in the future.

Ye Guan gripped the Qingxuan Sword, and his gaze was locked onto the distant Great Daoist Brush Master and Ye Qingqing. His instincts told him that the Great Daoist Brush Master had yet to reveal his true strength. He was hiding and scheming something; something was wrong here!

The Great Daoist Brush Master hadn't shown a hint of panic despite the reinforcements. Could it be that he had expected all of this?

Sui Gujin sensed his thoughts and said, "He must have anticipated all this. He still has trump cards to play."

Sui Gujin frowned deeply at that.

Ye Guan saw that and smiled. "No need to worry."

Sui Gujin turned to look at him.

Ye Guan stared at the sky calmly and said, "All the elders are here. What is there to be afraid of?"

Ye Guan truly wasn't afraid. His relatives were extraordinary people. Just then, he suddenly realized that being the "pampered little emperor" of the family actually felt pretty great!

Just then, Erya appeared beside him without him noticing her. Ye Guan turned to look at her, but Erya ignored him and sized up Sui Gujin. After a moment, she even reached out to touch Sui Gujin's belly.

"Boy or girl?" she asked.

Little White poked at her belly, and her bright eyes were full of wonder.

Erya said, "If it's a boy, then let him come with me. If it's a girl, then let her go with Little White. We'll raise them ourselves, no need for Master Pagoda to do it."

Ye Guan laughed. "You just want a playmate, don't you?"

Erya shook her head vigorously. "No, no, we'll raise the child properly."

Ye Guan shook his head amusingly.

Yeah, right.

If the child were raised by Erya and Little White, they'd end up as an unstoppable little tyrant.

It had to have been difficult for Erya and Little White to come all the way here. They had spent a long time scheming and eventually came to a realization that if they wanted true freedom, they had to do what Master Pagoda had done—raise a child!

Look at Master Pagoda... look at how carefree and unrestrained he was! He was wandering and playing everywhere with no one controlling him!

Sui Gujin looked at them and smiled warmly. She reached out to Little White, but Little White quickly raised her little paw to block her hand, blinking her big eyes and waving her left paw in an unclear gesture.

Sui Gujin smiled slightly. "Does that mean I can only pet you once we're closer?"

Ye Guan was immediately a bit stunned. "You understand her paw language?"

Even Erya looked curiously at Sui Gujin.

Sui Gujin calmly said, "Isn't it pretty easy to understand?"

Ye Guan broke out into a cold sweat. He hadn't expected her to understand Little White's paw gestures.

Erya said, "Little Guan, I have a piece of advice for you. Want to hear it?"

Ye Guan hesitated. "Can I choose not to hear it?"

"Nope!" Erya chuckled. "Your progress is way too slow. I've decided to personally train you, but your grandfather definitely won't agree to it, so you'll have to be the one to talk to him about it. Got it?

"Your grandfather dotes on you the most. If you go and talk to him, he'll definitely agree. If he doesn't, just kneel and beg him. Then tell him you don't want to carry the Yang surname anymore. Tell him that you want to be a Ye, and even your future kids will carry the Ye surname."

Little White stared at her in disbelief, waving her little paw.

Erya immediately pressed Little White's paw down and winked at her.

Little White hesitated, clearly feeling a little guilty.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan's face was completely dark.

Damn it, Erya, are you trying to get me killed?
