On the way, Yun Che conversed with Su Hengshan . He ascertained once more than this place was indeed Azure Cloud Continent from Su Hengshanâs own mouth, and the year was in fact 1999! When Su Hengshan asked them where they came from, he responded without thinking that him and Xia Qingyue left their sect to experience the outside world, but not long ago, they had an unlucky encounter with a vicious profound beast, and Xia Qingyue lost consciousness from a heavy injury .
During his past life, Yun Che was already sure that Su Lingâer had an extraordinary family background . Although she normally wore the simplest of clothing to do his laundry, bathe him, mend his clothing, cook, pick his medicine, season his medicine and treat him⊠She did everything more skillfully than how a girl from an ordinary family background would have done, but her instinctive grandeur and grace was not something an ordinary family could have raised . He only figured through his conversations with Su Hengshan, that Su Hengshan was an incumbent sect master of the Grandwake Clan! And Su Lingâer, was precisely the princess of the Grandwake Clan . East of the Supwake Countryâs river, Grandwake Clan was without a doubt the number one sect, as well as the biggest power . Their status was similar to New Moon Cityâs Xiao Sectâs Branch Sect, and they relied on Grandwake Mountain for its incredibly generous amounts of natural resources and minerals .
From the estimates of Su Hengshanâs profound energy aura and the encounter with the three men in black earlier, this Grandwake Clanâs power level should be higher than New Moon Cityâs Xiao Sectâs Branch Sect by a level or two, but it absolutely wasnât at the level of the Four Major Sectsâ level .
However, even in the east of the Grandwake River, Grandwake Clan still had enemies: the Blackwood Stronghold!
As sect master, Su Hengshan had the dignity and might of a sect master, but he had an even more cultured and refined personality . When he was facing a junior, he did not show the pride of the number one sect master east of the river . Not a hint of falsehood or reservation hung on his face as he showed his appreciation and thanks for Yun Che . If he didnât hear it from his own mouth, Yun Che wouldnât even have believed that he was a sect master at all!
Having a father like that, it was no wonder that Su Lingâer was raised to be so honest and elegant .
He wanted to learn about the matters concerning Su Lingâer as much as possible . When he asked the father daughter duo why they would encounter such aggression, Su Hengshan let out a long sigh . His face exposed a deeply angry look: âTheyâre all just some sect grudges . If I say it, we would just be mocked, Little Brother Yun⊠Except I didnât think that theyâd take action against Lingâer! This kind of insulting behavior is utterly unforgivable!â
Yun Che muttered to himself a bit and said: âSenior Su, forgive this junior for talking too much . You and Su Lingâer just came out together to have some fun for a little while, but encountered such an obviously calculated ambush . Itâs clear that someone exposed your and Su Lingâerâs whereabouts . â
âSigh!â Su Hengshan sighed: âHow can I not know about all this . Itâs just that I really donât want to suspect anyone on my side . â
Grandwake Clan was far larger than Yun Che could imagine . At the very least, the size of this clan was far greater than the Xiao Sect Branch Sect he had once went to . For a clan of this size, there would be at least a few tens of thousands of disciples .
âBig Brother Yun Che, look, this is my home! Itâs big isnât it! This huge mountain behind us is also our home!â
As they approached Grandwake Clanâs main entrance, Su Lingâer happily and pridefully introduced everything to Yun Che . Su Hengshanâs brows were constantly tight and his mind was occupied the entire way, but Su Lingâer was actually being a bit too carefree considering she almost encountered a great disaster . A naive and adorable smile constantly hung on her face like she had already forgotten all the events prior to this⊠Looking at her fairy-like smile, Yun Cheâs line of sight was constantly confused and dazed⊠Lingâer, how wonderful would it be if you could be this carefree without worries your entire lifeâŠ
âFather! Lingâer, youâre back!â A barely twenty year old young male welcomed them from afar and emotionally yelled: âI heard rumors that you guys encountered an ambush from the Blackwood Stronghold . Seeing you guys without any problems is wonderful⊠Father, Lingâer, you two arenât hurt right?â
âNo problem, just a bit of a scare and luckily, this little brother helped . â Su Hengshan nodded and introduced Yun Che: âLittle Brother Yun, this is my son, Su Haoran . I am forty six this year and only have a pair of son and daughter like this . Even saying such things is a bit shameful, hehe⊠Haoran, this is Little Brother Yun Che . If he didnât save Lingâer, Lingâer might have been captured by those bastards from Blackwood Stronghold . Little Brother Yunâs wife suffered a few minor injures, and requires our help for a few days . You have to thank and take care of them for your father . â
âWhat! Blackwood Strongholdâs people took action against Lingâer? Thatâs lower than low! Utterly heartless!â Su Haoranâs entire face was filled with anger and he cupped his hands toward Yun Che: âBrother Yun, thank you for saving LingâerâŠâ
When he spoke to this point, he shot glance toward Xia Qingyue being carried by Yun Che within his arms . Suddenly, His gaze was completely fixated and was unable to move away anymore . His face became imbecilic and foolish like he had lost his soul all of a sudden .
Yun Che remained calm and collected, and embraced Xia Qingyue closer to his chest to hide her face away Su Haoranâs line of sight, then gently smiled: âIt only took a bit of effort . Brother Haoran is too courteous . â
âBig brother . â Su Lingâer who stood by Yun Cheâs side crisply shouted at Su Haoran with her emotionless voice and joyless face . This felt a bit strange to Yun Che because he distinctly felt Su Lingâer wasnât intimate toward her brother . It almost seemed like there was a slight bit of alienation .
And this Su Haoranâs look towards Xia Qingyue also made him very uncomfortable .
Su Haoran just recollected his thoughts and half lowered his head and with an unnatural expression, he said: âFather, the clan already knows the matter about you being ambushed . Second and Sixth Uncle are in the conference room waiting for you . â
Su Hengshan nodded: âIâll go then . Haoran, you go and arrange residence for Little Brother Yun and his wife⊠Oh, just set them up in the Dragon Perching Pavilion . â
He turned around and said to Yun Che: âLittle Brother Yun, I have some matters to attend to, excuse me . If you need anything, donât hesitate to tell my son . Please donât be too polite . Lingâer, come and follow papa . â
Su Hengshan brought Su Lingâer and left quickly . Su Lingâer looked back once in awhile; the fact that she didnât want to leave Yun Che was written all over her face . Under Su Haoranâs guidance, Yun Che carried Xia Qingyue to the Dragon Perching Pavilion that Su Hengshan mentioned and gently placed Xia Qingyue on the only huge bed there .
Grandwake Mountainâs atmosphere was incredibly grand since it was one of the twelve divine mountains in the Azure Cloud Continent . There were countless spirit medicine and spirit stones within the mountains . The rich resources gave birth to the powerful Grandwake Clan . The room that Su Hengshan personally appointed for Yun Che was extremely luxurious . The name âDragon Perching Pavilionâ wasnât pointless . On top of all kinds of red hardwood decorations, sculptures in all shapes and forms depicted a majestic five clawed flying dragon . This place should be where Grandwake Clan received their most honored guests . It goes to show just how grateful Su Hengshan was towards Yun Che for saving Su Lingâer .
âBrother Yun and this lady are⊠husband and wife?â
âThatâs right . â Yun Che nodded . Then, he saw a hint of jealousy within Su Haoranâs eyes .
âHeheh . â Su Haoran forced a smile and said: âBrother Yun is truly fortunate to actually be wedded with such a beautiful fairy-like bride . Oh, Brother Yun doesnât lack natural talents either . You actually stepped into the Spirit Profound Realm, not bad not bad . â
These words from Su Haoran contained the arrogant tone of the strong talking to the weak . He complimented Yun Cheâs natural talents, but his demeanor was in fact proud and aloof . He was twenty years old this year, and his profound strength was already at the fourth level of the Spirit Profound Realm . He was at the peak level within the younger generation east of the river . Just comparing profound strength, he was stronger than Yun Che who was only at the first level of the Spirit Profound Realm⊠but that was merely profound strength .
âBrother Haoran is wrongfully praising . â Yun Che spoke without thinking .
âExcept, Brother Yun, itâs not that Iâm criticizing you . Although your natural talents arenât bad, you came out just like that to experience the world together with your wife . Youâre just making too much trouble for yourself . In this world, there are many people with better natural talent than you . Arrogance, complacency, and ignorance arenât good things . Before you have the strength to properly protect your family, itâs better to to not do as you please . Otherwise, when you encounter an actual disaster and you donât have the strength to protect your family, harming your fairy-like wifeâs life would be terrible .
When Su Haoran spoke, he peeked at Xia Qingyue from time to time . Every time he glanced towards her, his fingers would tremble a bit⊠In his entire life, he had never seen a girl as beautiful as Xia Qingyue; furthermore, he could never imagine it was possible for a girl to be beautiful to such a degree . There were even several times when he couldnât resist losing control to knock Yun Che out, and then enjoy this sleeping beauty however he liked .
Yun Che faintly smiled and said: âThank you Brother Haoran, for your reminders . Iâll remember it . â
Su Haoran extended his right hand and had difficulty enduring making a grabbing motion: âThis lady is in a coma and isnât waking up . Looks like her injuries arenât light . I just happen to have some medical expertise . Let me examine a bit, then grab some spirit medicine, and sheâll be awake in no time . â
After he finished talking, Su Haoran casually walked forward and approached Xia Qingyueâs bedside .
Yun Che took a step forward and impolitely blocked Su Haoranâs way and calmly said: âNo need, I canât be any more certain of my wifeâs condition . There is no need to for Brother Haoran to feel troubled . Thank you Brother Haoran, for your warm reception, I wonât waste your time any longer . You may leave . â
Su Haoranâs expression changed and he didnât have a reason to stay anymore . He stared at Yun Che a bit and said: âVery well then . I wonât bother you two . If you need anything, you can tell my servants outside anytime . â
After Yun Che saw Su Haoran leave, he tightly shut his roomâs door . He coldly smiled and muttered: âHe dares to lust after my wife⊠humph! You can think all you want, but if you think about anything else, even if you are Lingâerâs brother, I wonât go easy on you!â
Xia Qingyue was sleeping soundly, and had no idea that she already came to another world . Yun Che kept close and guarded by her side . Every eighth of an hour, he would check her inner vitality, and see that her internal energy became increasingly calm, which finally put his mind at ease .
âJasmine, do you have any way to help her recover a bit faster?â Yun Che asked . Although Xia Qingyueâs condition had temporarily stabilized, the injuries in her profound vein were too severe . To completely restore Xia Qingyue would take a long time even for him . Him and Xia Qingyue could only stay here for a day . After returning to Heaven Basin Secret Realm, they could stay a maximum of half a day . When they leave the Heaven Basin Secret Realm, the people of Frozen Cloud Asgard would never let Yun Che see her again . Yun Che believed they wouldnât be able to completely restore Xia Qingyue if she was brought back to Frozen Cloud Asgard .
âOf course!â
Yun Che was only casually asking, but he didnât think Jasmine would decisively answer with certainty: âItâs precisely the thing that you found with her, the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus!â
âThis lotus flowerâs effectiveness is far greater than you can imagine! After using the Sky Poison Pearl to perfectly refine the essence of the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus, if you give it to her afterwards, her entire body would recover shortly and her profound strength would step into the Sky Profound Realm right away⊠in your Blue Wind Empire, she would be considered the first person under twenty to step into the Sky Profound Realm⊠Only, the premise of everything is that youâd have be willing!â
