Chapter 481: This Damned Family Reputation!

Blood transfusion!

Ye Nanqing's beautiful eyes cast a surprised gaze upon Ye Guan. Ye Nanqing didn't expect that the young man before her would give her his blood. She suddenly recalled the promise he had made and realized that he was serious.

Ye Nanqing's eyes flashed in a complicated light.

Ye Guan said, "Lady Nanqing, my blood is powerful, but can you check if you can obtain anything from it?"

Ye Nanqing looked at Ye Guan and saw that his eyes were clear and sincere. Ye Nanqing gently retracted her jade-like hand and grazed over the wound on Ye Guan's wrist, healing it instantly.

Ye Guan was puzzled.

Ye Nanqing calmly said, "It's fine."

Ye Guan questioned, "What do you mean?"

Ye Nanqing looked at Ye Guan without saying a word.

Ye Guan's expression was serious as he said, "Lady Nanqing, I noticed that you're not an ordinary person at all. I know that you have your own plans, but my blood contains the power of three special bloodlines, and they should be beneficial to you."

Ye Nanqing nodded. "Your bloodline can truly enhance the Eternal Night Bloodline."

"Go ahead and absorb my blood, then," Ye Guan said.

Ye Nanqing shook her head. "This isn't absorption. It's a blood transfusion."

Ye Guan looked puzzled. "Blood transfusion?"

Ye Nanqing nodded and explained, "You're just sending your blood into my body. What else would it be if not a blood transfusion?"

"Wait, how do we do it, then?" Ye Guan asked.

Ye Nanqing said, "There are two methods: I'll activate the power of my bloodline, and you'll let me devour your bloodline."

Ye Guan grimaced. The first method would cause significant harm to him, so he hurriedly asked, "What about the second method?"

Ye Nanqing stared at Ye Guan and said, "Dual cultivation."

Dual cultivation?!

Ye Guan froze and went silent.

Ye Nanqing looked away and said, "You don't have to give me your bloodline power. I don't need it at all."

Ye Guan was confused. "Why?"

Ye Nanqing said calmly, "I don't have any amazing bloodline in me!"

Ye Guan's changed slightly as he asked, "What do you mean? Aren't you from the Eternal Night Clan?"

Ye Nanqing glanced at Ye Guan and said, "It's late, so you should go and rest."

Ye Nanqing didn't even wait for Ye Guan's reply as she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. Ye Guan stared at Ye Nanqing.

What a mysterious woman.

Ye Guan turned around to leave the room.

"If you go out, rumors will definitely spread tomorrow," Ye Nanqing said.

Ye Guan pondered briefly before walking back and sitting on the bedside. He stared at Ye Nanqing in front of him but remained silent.

Ye Nanqing locked eyes with Ye Guan and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Ye Guan thought for a moment and then admitted, "Lady Nanqing, I have a feeling that you're looking down on me."

Ye Nanqing stared at Ye Guan without speaking.

Ye Guan's gaze didn't leave Ye Nanqing as he asked, "Was I right?"

Ye Nanqing remained silent.

"This is just a marriage of convenience, but I don't think there's any need for us to be enemies."

Ye Nanqing stared deeply at Ye Guan and asked, "You really don't know?"

"Know what?"

Ye Nanqing gazed at Ye Guan for a long time before muttering, "It seems that you really don't know."

Ye Guan was utterly confused.

Ye Nanqing shook her head. "If you don't know, then so be it."

"Lady Nanqing, can you speak frankly?" Ye Guan asked.

Ye Nanqing glanced at Ye Guan without saying anything.

Ye Guan had no idea what to say.

Just then, Ye Nanqing asked, "Can you lend me that tiny pagoda of yours for research?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Sure."

"Are you really sure?" Ye Nanqing asked, casting a seemingly doubtful gaze upon Ye Guan.

"Why wouldn't I be sure?" Ye Guan asked, chuckling and shaking his head. Then, he opened his palm, revealing the tiny pagoda. The tiny pagoda flew over to Ye Nanqing.

Ye Nanqing asked, "Do you know how precious this pagoda is?"

Ye Guan nodded. "I know!"

His aunt, Destiny, had reformed the tiny pagoda, so it was definitely precious!

"Why are you lending it to me, then?" Ye Nanqing asked.

Ye Guan thought briefly over it before replying, "Lady Nanqing, you're going around in circles, and I don't like that at all."

Ye Nanqing shook her head and said, "It seems that you don't know how precious this thing is."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't want to say it."

Ye Guan froze froze, and he really felt like cursing.

What the fuck?!

In the end, Ye Guan stood up and sat down on the couch. Then, he closed his eyes and circulated his cultivation method.

Ye Nanqing glanced at the sulking Ye Guan and smiled upon recalling something. She looked down at the tiny pagoda in her hand and frowned. The world inside the tiny pagoda was a realm of slowed-down time, and the ratio was so high that it was way beyond what someone with enough comprehension of the Dao could do.

Those capable of doing such a thing had to have transcended the Great Dao. In addition, Ye Nanqing felt that the creator had created a Dao related to time, which was even stronger than the Great Dao of the vast expanse.

In other words, the creator of the tiny pagoda had created a Dao to suppress the Great Dao!

Ye Nanqing reckoned that the creator of the tiny pagoda was stronger than the Great Daoist Brush Master. After all, the Great Daoist Brush Master had only comprehended the Great Dao; he wasn't exactly capable of truly surpassing it.

Ye Nanqing's eyes flickered in thought. After a while, she turned to look at Ye Guan, who had ended up falling asleep mid-cultivation.

He can still sleep?

Ye Nanqing shook her head and closed her eyes.

The night passed just like that. The next morning, Ye Guan stretched lazily and looked at Ye Nanqing, who was still asleep on the bed.

Ye Guan stood up and left the room.

Several maids were waiting outside the room to serve them. When they saw Ye Guan leave the room, they quickly lowered their heads; they dared not meet Ye Guan's gaze.

Ye Guan looked up and took to the sky, arriving on a cloud.

The Great Daoist Brush Master stood not too far away from him.

Ye Guan asked, "Senior, is it time for us to go?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master said, "We have to stay here a bit longer."

Ye Guan frowned slightly.

The Great Daoist Brush Master shook his head and explained, "Ye Jun has yet to settle the forces within the Eternal Night Empire. To activate the Eternal Night Array, every single state must cooperate."

Ye Guan was curious. "What exactly is this Eternal Night Array?"

"It's a special array built many years ago. It was made to suppress the cultivation bases of Time Reversers and weaken them. I assisted in building this array back then. Given enough time, we can build another one, but we don't have the luxury of time."

Ye Guan nodded slightly and inquired, "Any news about the Time Reversers?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master remained silent, but his eyes revealed a hint of concern.

Ye Guan noticed the tinge of concern in the Great Daoist Brush Master's eyes, and his heart sank immediately. He then asked, "Is that white-robed woman going to take action personally?"

"Well, if she does that, then it'd be great." The Great Daoist Brush Master said, smiling, "You can call for help without any psychological burden."

Ye Guan fell into silence. If that white-robed woman took action, he would have no choice but to ask for help. If it were others, he would try and fight them. However, the white-robed woman was just too strong!

"How are things going with Lady Nanqing?" asked the Great Daoist Brush Master

Ye Guan pushed aside his thoughts and stared at the Great Daoist Brush Master.

"What do you mean, 'how are things going'?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master stared at Ye Guan. "I thought you two got married?"

Ye Guan frowned but nodded. "Yes, we did get married."

The Great Daoist Brush Master frowned.

The Great Daoist Brush Master's expression seemed a bit peculiar that Ye Guan couldn't help but think,

What's up with that strange look?

The Great Daoist Brush Master's lips fluttered open, but he ultimately remained silent.

Ye Guan sounded serious as he asked, "Senior, do you have any idea how many Time Reversers are coming?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master responded, "We have no idea."

Ye Guan's expression darkened.

The Great Daoist Brush Master continued, "Once Ye Jun has settled down the Eternal Night Empire, I'll have them activate the Eternal Night Array, and then we'll lead the Eternal Night Army away. The battlefield cannot be here, as the empire would suffer too much damage."

"That makes sense," Ye Guan said, nodding. He then stared at the Great Daoist Brush Master and asked, "How much time do we have left?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master pondered briefly before saying, "It depends on when the Diyi Clan arrives."

Ye Guan furrowed his brows. "The Diyi Clan?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master nodded, and his expression gradually became serious as he said, "I've already sent someone to inform Cirou and the others in the True Universe. I told them to immediately send reinforcements here."

"Senior!" Ye Guan's voice sounded solemn as he said, "Tell me more about the Diyi Clan!"

The Great Daoist Brush Master explained, "The Diyi Clan is a clan from way back five hundred billion years ago. They were the strongest clan of that era, invincible to the point of loneliness. However, their clan leader, in a quest to surpass the Great Dao and attain immortality, committed a heinous act. Healong with several top cultivators from the clanruthlessly devoured the bloodlines and cultivation bases of their own people to break free from their final shackles..."

Ye Guan inquired, "Did they succeed?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master calmly replied, "They failed."

Ye Guan was stunned.

"Although they failed, the seven of them obtained the power of the entire clan, significantly enhancing their strength and cultivation bases. Unfortunately, they will still inevitably die, and I think their lifespan is about to run out..."

Ye Guan suddenly asked, "Senior, are you immortal?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master chuckled. "Take a guess."

"Even if you're not immortal, you should still have a considerable lifespan, right?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master laughed heartily, and he chose not to answer as he changed the topic by saying, "If a war breaks out, we're too weak to contend against them..."

The Great Daoist Brush Master shook his head. "If only we had more time, or..."

The Great Daoist Brush Master glanced at Ye Nanqing down below and sighed. They would be able to buy more time if Ye Nanqing were to help them, but it seemed that the relationship between Ye Guan and Ye Nanqing hadn't progressed at all.

Ye Nanqing looked up at the Great Daoist Brush Master with calm and tranquil eyes.

The Great Daoist Brush Master spoke in a deep voice, "I'll be leaving for a while, approximately three to five days. I want you to be extra careful while I'm gone!"

Ye Guan was curious. Where are you going, Senior?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master's eyes narrowed as he muttered, "I'm going to gather my old comrades and deal with some matters while I'm at it."

Ye Guan was immediately overjoyed.

The Great Daoist Brush Master stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, "You better not renege on your promise to me. Establish a new order. Deceive me, and I'm not going to let you off even if I'm already dead."

"Don't worry about it, Senior," Ye Guan's expression turned solemn as he muttered, "Our Yang family never lies"

Ye Guan stopped mid-sentence upon being subjected to the Great Daoist Brush Master's icy and hostile gaze. Ye Guan felt bitter inside.

This damned family reputation! How come our reputation is so bad?!
