Chapter 437: Ye Yongxian’s Spring, Preserving the Fire Seed
Inner Courtyard.
“Why are you here again? I’ve told you many times that I don’t want to be your partner. You should give up on that.”
Tu Jiao Jiao coldly rejected a man.
This man is Ye Yongxian, who entered the academy alongside Chen Changsheng.
“Hehehe!”
“Whether you like me has nothing to do with whether I like you.”
Facing Tu Jiao Jiao’s rejection, Ye Yongxian smiled warmly, completely unaffected by her words.
Seeing this, a hint of disgust flashed across Tu Jiao Jiao’s face as she retorted.
“Do you think that because you are powerful, all the women in the world will like you?”
“Or do you believe that I, Tu Jiao Jiao, could like the same man as other women?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yongxian shook his head with a smile.
“What attracts excellent women isn’t always the same excellent qualities.”
“What truly draws them in is often a sincere heart.”
“So you’re trying to attract me with that kind of heart?”
“After just meeting Sister Jiang, you come to see me again. Your behavior is disgusting.”
In response, Ye Yongxian said lightly, “I never claimed to be a devoted and singular man.”
“But I will certainly be a man who treats you well and meets your desires.”
“Most men in the world are emotionally deficient, though perhaps some are not like that.”
“But among those men, the truly outstanding ones are few and far between.”
“I, Ye Yongxian, can’t claim to be perfect, but I am at least nine-tenths good.”
“Someone like me may not be the best choice, but I surely won’t be the worst.”
Looking at Ye Yongxian’s smiling face, Tu Jiao Jiao said flatly.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
“Wait!”
Ye Yongxian stopped Tu Jiao Jiao, who was about to leave.
“Crossing the Thunder Tribulation is extremely dangerous. Are you really going to take that path?”
“It’s none of your business!”
Throwing back a cold response, Tu Jiao Jiao turned to leave.
Watching her departing figure, Ye Yongxian rubbed his chin, murmuring.
“If such a talent is lost, it would truly be a pity. Should I do something about it?”
…
Supreme Saint’s Courtyard.
An exquisite woman stood there.
After an unknown period, Drunken Scholar quietly appeared beside her.
“Actually, it doesn’t have to be this way. Perhaps there are other solutions.”
Hearing this, the woman smiled slightly and said.
“Senior Brother, you should know that even without the need to harm my foundation, I would still choose to cross the Thunder Tribulation.”
“Since the day I became Master’s disciple, I decided to follow in Master’s footsteps.”
“Whether it’s dawn or dusk, it’s a path I’ve chosen for myself and I have no regrets.”
Receiving that answer, Drunken Scholar pursed his lips and said.
“I found what you asked me to investigate. This kind of Dan is called Diamond Glaze Dan, an ancient formula.”
“Very few people in the world know about it, and those who can refine it are even rarer. Who gave it to you?”
“The Ye Yongxian beside Chen Changsheng.”
Upon hearing this answer, Drunken Scholar furrowed his brows.
“It’s him?”
“Yes.”
Saying this, the woman turned to look at Drunken Scholar with a smile.
“Senior Brother, you’re too obsessed with the pursuit of perfection.”
“It’s exactly this obsession that has blinded your eyes.”
“Master’s anomaly, the turmoil in Mountain River Academy, all events indicate that ‘he’ has arrived.”
“But…”
“No buts.”
The woman interrupted Drunken Scholar.
“Bai Ze never takes human form, and the sudden appearance of the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor is unusual.”
“With your wisdom, Senior Brother, you can’t possibly fail to grasp the key.”
“The reason you dare not face ‘his’ identity is that you cannot produce a perfect answer right now.”
“Everyone knows that only ‘he’ can replace Master to test us.”
“The greatest punishment he has for you is this fear.”
After listening, Drunken Scholar fell silent.
Observing his silence, the woman gently caressed his face and said.
“Senior Brother, before I cross the Thunder Tribulation, please help me one last time.”
“What kind of help?”
“Plead with ‘him’!”
“All nine disciples cannot perish; at least one or two must survive.”
“I’ve publicly announced that true disciples will cross the tribulation with me but have never disclosed the specific number,”
“to ensure that one or two remain. However, they are too stubborn; none are willing to back down.”
“The only one who can save them is Chen Changsheng.”
“Only Chen Changsheng can allow them to survive unscathed in their resolve.”
Facing his junior sister’s request, Drunken Scholar replied lightly, “I promise you.”
“After crossing the Thunder Tribulation, I will definitely marry you.”
Hearing this answer, the woman’s lips curled into a faint smile.
…
On the hillside of the outer courtyard.
Chen Changsheng had been sitting in silence for a day and night.
But a figure’s arrival broke Chen Changsheng’s tranquility.
“Since you’re here, then sit down. What are you standing there for?”
Chen Changsheng said lightly, and Drunken Scholar sat down in front of him.
As soon as Drunken Scholar settled, Ye Yongxian appeared beside them.
Upon the sudden arrival of the two, Chen Changsheng showed no sign of surprise.
“Swish!”
A jar of fine wine was brought out.
Amber-colored liquid slowly poured down, eventually landing in a wine glass.
Pouring a cup for Drunken Scholar, Chen Changsheng turned to Ye Yongxian and said.
“You can consider yourself lucky; while I haven’t lost my temper, you should quickly leave!”
“No problem!”
Hearing this, Ye Yongxian walked away with a smile.
Watching Ye Yongxian’s retreating figure, Drunken Scholar said lightly, “Who is he?”
“The Ancestor of Wang Family from the Three Thousand States, the first of Bloodline Longevity.”
“So the ones who will survive are Jiang Ling and Tu Jiao Jiao.”
“Yes.”
“The power of love will always mend a wound.”
“If you want them to live, you can only take some rough measures, like kidnapping them.”
“Only Ye Yongxian can logically do such a thing.”
Receiving this answer, Drunken Scholar pressed his lips together.
“Will he be a good destination?”
“Not the best, but he also won’t be the worst.”
“His partner may find a good husband and a good man, but he will definitely not be a good father.”
“Are you so sure Jiang Ling and Tu Jiao Jiao will fall in love with him?”
“Absolutely,” Chen Changsheng nodded and said, “because he pursues partners with a sincere heart.”
“None of his actions are tainted by insincerity.”
“But after all, it is his bloodline; how can he bring harm to them!”
Drunken Scholar’s tone carried a hint of anger, while Chen Changsheng remained calm.
“That makes a lot of sense, but what about after three to five thousand years?”
“This phenomenon of bloodline regression doesn’t necessarily appear only in direct descendants.”
