Chapter 574: God Clan Ranking Conference

The corner of Ye Xiao’s mouth could not help but twitch violently.

“Then, do you want me to treat you? I should be able to help you recover quite a bit of your spiritual energy and blood essence.”

When Gu Hai heard that, he repeatedly waved his hand.

“Forget it. Don’t waste your energy on me. How much spiritual energy and blood essence do you want to help me recover? After that, it’ll just go to my wife. I’ll save you some.”

“...”

He did not know why, but he felt that the sentence used was a little strange.

‘Forget it. I better not think too much about it.’

“How are the people of Jianghai city living here?”

“Good! Of course it’s good! Because of you, the Xuan Yuan god clan treats us very well. All kinds of benefits are according to the highest standards of the other members of the Xuan Yuan god clan.

“Moreover, after the students of Jianghai Martial Arts Academy graduated, the graduates were also snatched by the various large families. The treatment outside is also very good.”

Ye Xiao nodded.

Although he knew, hearing Gu Hai say it out loud in person made his heart feel more at ease.

“Oh right, Old Ye, why do you suddenly have the time to come over? You should be a busy person right now, right?

“After all, the matters of the entire Xuan Yuan god clan are all on you alone.”

“It’s alright. I basically didn’t do anything. The vast majority of it was done by the upper echelons of the Xuan Yuan god clan. I only gave some instructions.”

Hearing that, Gu Hai could not help but sigh emotionally.

“You’re really above 10,000 people now, and there’s no one inferior to you. Thinking back to those years, the two of us were like peas in a pod, and we were also known as the two great librarians of Jianghai city’s library. But now, the difference is like the difference between the clouds and the mud.”

“Huh?”

He knew that he was a librarian. Since when did Gu Hai become a librarian?

However, he still opened his mouth to console him,

“You don’t have to think like that. At least you have a family now, a wife and children. Sometimes, living too long doesn’t have much meaning. Having a family background is instead a stable kind of happiness.”

Gu Hai nodded.

“You’re right. Speaking of which, you’re already so powerful. Why don’t you find yourself a wife? With your current strength, it should be easy for you to do so.

“Moreover, you don’t have to worry about not being able to protect anyone now.

“A few days ago, Wanwan told me that when Yuyan went shopping with her, she started to be in a daze again.

“Do you know that there was once when she was very funny, she saw a figure in the distance that looked like you, and then she quickly ran over. In the end, when she was in front of it, she realized that it was just a mannequin.

“I think that Qin Yu Yan is actually quite compatible with you. She really likes you, so you can give her a chance more or less.

“Moreover, this is the Xuan Yuan god clan, not the Nine Provinces where there is a monogamous system. If it’s here, it shouldn’t be a problem to marry a few wives, right?

“You’re so strong. You can totally marry one wife first. In the future, even if you really meet someone you like better, you can still marry one more.”

Ye Xiao shook his head.

“I won’t marry so many wives. No matter how strong I am, if I really want to get married, I’ll only marry a woman I like.”

“That Qin Yuyan is pretty good too. Other than being a little weaker and not comparable to you, the rest are all advantages.

“Why not?

“As for her cultivation, you can also directly raise her strength in the future.”

Ye Xiao did not reply. To Qin Yuyan, he did not deny that he might have had a trace of affection in the beginning. It was very weak, but it was possible.

After all, both of them were very young, and Ye Xiao was also at the age where he was full of vigor.

However, after knowing that she was the Phoneix Empress’s love tribulation incarnation, he did not have any special feelings for Qin Yuyan. To her, it was just a matter of business between friends.

If he were to date her, Ye Xiao would feel like he was a tool, being used by others.

He did not want to be used by anyone!

Therefore, he would not have any feelings that he should not have with Qin Yuyan.

Seeing that he did not seem to be in the mood, Gu Hai could only give up in the end.

Matters like feelings were fated and could not be forced.

It was just like back then when he and Lu Wanwan were caught going to Red Romance by Lu Wanwan’s father who was an old member of the garrison team.

Did the two of them not become family in the end?

No matter how hard they argued, they still became a family.

The two of them chatted for another half a day before saying goodbye.

Ye Xiao came to the Qin residence, Qin Yuyan’s small courtyard.

At that moment, Qin Yuyan had just finished practicing her martial arts. She was panting heavily, and her chest was heaving up and down.

On her crystal clear skin was a rosy little hue that looked exceptionally beautiful.

It was filled with the youthful and beautiful aura of a young girl.

Ye Xiao did not say anything. After Qin Yuyan finished her cultivation, she drank some water and then sat in the spirit-gathering array that was set up with divine crystals to recover her spiritual energy. At the same time, she did not forget to read her notes to constantly revise and improve her cultivation.

The entire process lasted for two hours. For the entire two hours, Qin Yuyan did not change her movements. She continued to read.

After she had fully recovered her spiritual energy, she picked up the hilt of her saber and prepared to start cultivating again.

However, at that moment, her gaze suddenly landed on Ye Xiao. She was so excited that she could not help but stutter when she spoke.

“Ye... Ye Xiao, you... You’re here again?”

Only then did Ye Xiao withdraw his gaze and said indifferently,

“You only noticed me coming over now?”

Qin Yuyan’s face turned even redder.

“I was cultivating just now, so I didn’t notice you.”

Ye Xiao could not help but sigh. After all, it was the Phoenix Empress’s incarnation. Even if it was just a clone, it was still different and was far from being the same as ordinary people.

She had the kind of perseverance and spirit that other girls did not have.

“It’s alright, I was just joking with you.”

“Oh right, do you want some tea? I’ll pour some tea for you.”

Qin Yuyan quickly poured a cup of tea for Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao took it, took a sip, and immediately said,

“I came back today to visit Gu Hai’s family. I was prepared to leave, but when I saw you cultivating, I conveniently came over to take a look.

“Seeing that you’re so hardworking, I’ll give you some pointers.”

Qin Yuyan nodded, her face filled with excitement.

Back then, it was because she had comprehended Ye Xiao’s true intent of martial arts that she had achieved a large advancement and reached her current stage.

It could be said that if it were not for Ye Xiao, she would still be in some unknown corner right then.

Ye Xiao then gave her a simple explanation about some matters related to cultivation and its profoundness.

Qin Yuyan’s brain was very sharp, and in the blink of an eye, she had completely comprehended everything.

No matter how much Ye Xiao talked about, she could handle it and pay attention to all of it.

Very quickly, Qin Yuyan’s cultivation immediately advanced a realm.

That made Qin Yuyan treat Ye Xiao with reverence!

Just a casual lecture allowed her to easily advance. If it was her cultivation, it was likely that she would not be able to advance successfully without a long period of hard work.

When evening arrived and the sun was setting. Only then did Ye Xiao open his mouth to speak,

“From today onwards, you will continue to cultivate diligently. This cultivation technique that I have imparted to you will do. It will surpass all cultivation techniques and greatly increase your cultivation speed and strength.”

Qin Yuyan nodded and immediately said with some sadness,

“Are you... Going to leave? Moreover, you won’t be coming over anytime soon.”

Ye Xiao nodded.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.”

After saying that, he did not even give Qin Yuyan time to react and instantly turned around to leave.

His speed was so fast that it made one’s hair stand on end. Qin Yuyan did not even have the chance to say a single word before he had already disappeared on the spot.

Seeing Ye Xiao disappear, Qin Yuyan could only sigh slightly.

She seemed to be vaguely able to guess why Ye Xiao did not want to be with her.

She had been dreaming recently, dreaming that she had become a phoenix, flying in the boundless starry sky.

She did not know what that meant. Even so, she vaguely guessed that Ye Xiao should know what it meant.

At that point, he was not willing to be with her. Was it because of that phoenix?

However, very quickly, she gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and said with a firm expression,

‘Ye Xiao, no matter what the reason is, it won’t change my feelings for you. I like you, which is something that will never change! If that phoenix wants to harm you, even if I risk my life, I will definitely not let you get hurt.’

...

On Ye Xiao’s side, he had just returned to Xuan Yuan Mountain when Xuanyuan Long barged in once again to report the matter.

“Ye Xiao, it’s a great thing. It’s another great thing.”

Ye Xiao swept him a glance.

“What good thing is worth you being so happy about? Don’t say those unreliable things again.”

“It’s different this time. This time, it’s very reliable. Moreover, we can’t not participate.”

Ye Xiao raised his brows slightly. What was the matter? Was it that they could not miss participating?

“Tell me about it.”

Xuanyuan Long once again opened his mouth and said with a smile,

“It’s the god clan ranking convention! It’s finally about to begin.

“They have already completely quelled the chaos in the Yanhuang Great World. The god clans are currently preparing for the god clan ranking matter everywhere.

“This time, the Yanhuang Great World has lost quite a number of the god clans. To us, the Xuan Yuan god clan, it’s a good opportunity to make a great leap forward!

“Back then, the Ancestral Dragon raised our Xuan Yuan god clan from above the 30th place to the 19th place in an instant.

“Now, with you, our ranking will definitely rise to an unprecedented level once again.”

Ye Xiao shook his head slightly.

“Don’t look for me for such matters. It has nothing to do with me. I won’t participate in any god clan ranking convention, and I can’t be bothered to clean up this little mess of yours.

“I still say that cultivating properly is the right path.”
