Ye Xiao tidied things up and then calmly said, “We have been talking for quite a while now. How do you feel? I should let you rest. You shouldn’t get off the bed, and do not let your feet touch the floor yet. You know why? If you touch the ground, the Nine Sky Golden Qi will get back on you. I will take no responsibility if you choose to do the wrong thing.”

After that, before the old man had time to say anything, Ye Xiao left the room.

When Ye Xiao spoke, the old man was ready to get off the bed and step on the floor. As Ye Xiao spoke, he stopped his feet in the air.

‘The young man actually knew the Nine Sky Golden Qi well. How did he know the qi on the ground will trigger the Nine Sky Golden Qi? I guess he can be right, though. In the system of five elements, metal comes from the earth. The land is slowly producing golden qi... I have been trying to absorb the spiritual qi from the sky and the earth before I came here, but it never made me feel better... Now I know the reason... I should push the spiritual qi out of my body first and let the Nine Sky Golden Qi die out... The Nine Sky Golden Qi is known to be extremely difficult to overcome. The young man actually figured out the secret behind it. That is impressive!’

The old man moved his feet back on the bed and continued thinking. ‘The man is well-informed, experienced, and brilliant at medical techniques... His broad mind is impressive as well... It is good luck if I keep my word, and it is bad luck if I don’t. He takes it as a bet. If I turn against him, he takes it as something destined to happen to him... It is true. Only time can tell. I am responsible for my own decisions, and he is responsible for his treatment. That is brilliant... Hah hah hah...’

Ye Xiao walked out and waved his hand. Du Qingkuang hastily came over.

Ye Xiao looked around and said in a low voice, “Qingkuang, keep an eye on the old man. Don’t let him step on the floor, and don’t expose him under the sun. Seal the window on the roof. Take care of him. Don’t piss him off. He is an old man after all.”

Du Qingkuang promised and then asked, “Lord Monarch, the old man is unacceptably arrogant... We have saved so many people’s lives since the Hall of Life and Death was established. I have never seen anybody as terrible as him. Do we have to treat him so politely? He owes us a favor for saving his life, and we don’t owe him anything!”

Ye Xiao said in a serious tone, “You help somebody, then you help him out. Since we gave him our treatments, we must make sure he is saved. We shouldn’t care about whether he is a nice guy or not. You must take care of him. We don’t need anything from him. Don’t think too much of it. Let’s make him well again and then he can go. Nothing else matters. Do you understand?”

Du Qingkuang said, “I see. Nothing else matters!”

Deep in his heart, he was still confused. ‘Since when did Lord Monarch become such a nice man? He used to be really arrogant when he faced his patients. Why is he so patient and nice now? He shouldn’t be a doctor with a soft heart, should he?’

‘This is weird!’

The old man peacefully lied on the bed in the room. His eyes glittered, and he humphed. After that, he started to murmur, “Humph... Do you think I can’t hear you if you speak somewhere outside? Well... What an interesting kid!”

Ye Xiao returned to his own room. He closed the door and smiled. ‘It wouldn’t be interesting if you couldn’t hear me, old man...’

...

Ye Xiao felt much better after having a conversation with the old man. Now, he decided to continue some serious business. To question Master Xiao should be serious enough.

Maybe Master Xiao already spoke out the words he felt most difficult to speak out. He was totally frank now. No matter what Ye Xiao asked, Master Xiao would tell everything he knew. Ye Xiao would feel annoyed sometimes because his answers were too long!

Ye Xiao knew more about Su Yeyue now. The king and queen of the East Sky adored her. She had become an influential figure because of the support from the queen. Her name—Fairy Yeyue—was known to everybody in the East Sky. She was such an important person there.

Her cultivation improved stunningly fast as well. She had reached the fifth level of the Saint Origin Stage, and she hadn’t stopped improving. The queen liked her so much. If Su Yeyue left the queen for a while, the queen would send for her. She was like the queen’s only child...

The princes and princesses in the East Sky were all jealous and angry...

Ye Xiao took a breath of relief when he heard that the girl was living well in this world...

However, Master Xiao also said something else about the lady. He had collected a lot of information about Su Yeyue, and he realized the lady was not very happy even though the queen liked her so much. Su Yeyue had been focusing on cultivating martial arts. The king and the queen were her only friends. She had nobody else close to her. The princes and the princesses weren’t close to her. She didn’t have many friends in the palace...

Ye Xiao felt distressed when he heard about it. Back in the Land of Han-Yang, the girl was such a vivacious extrovert. Now, she had to endure such a dull and lonely life!

...

After questioning Master Xiao for the second time, Ye Xiao was lost in thoughts again. He walked around the Hall of Life and Death and flew up to the sky. He sat on the treetop and couldn’t stop thinking about the lady. In the end, he powerlessly made a long sigh.

Power meant everything. If he was powerful enough, he wouldn’t need to care about Ye Yunduan, the Great Ye Army, or any other forces in his way. He could have found and brought back Su Yeyue, Xuan Bing, Jun Yinglian, and all the others!

When was he going to be powerful enough to do that? When was he going to be powerful enough to protect the people he loved?

The Human Realm Upon Heavens was full of strong cultivators. He didn’t have the confidence...

At the moment, somebody behind him asked, “Why are you sighing like that? You are still young...”

Ye Xiao was surprised. He turned around and found a man in a purple robe who was slim and spirited. The man’s eyes glittered like two stars. The entire universe could be seen deep in his eyes.

Ye Xiao looked calm and steady, but in his heart, he was shocked. Since he reached the Saint Origin Stage, his sensation became sharp and powerful. He had met many powerful men, but none of them could escape his sense anymore. Even the Red Phoenix, Master Guan, and Bu Xiangfeng couldn’t secretly approach him without being noticed.

In fact, even Yue Youyou wasn’t powerful enough to escape his sensation. However, this man was able to approach him from behind silently!
