72: Ye Qingyao is now my Saint's person.

After laying some groundwork for Tong Xiayue's future schemes against Su Ze,

Su Shengyuan left the Tenth Line.

Upon returning to Saint Island, he began investigating the movements of the various Sons of Destiny.

His position within the Su Family was now deeply entrenched.

So, it was time to go out and harvest a wave of 'leeks'.

Right at that moment!

A communication stone within his spatial ring suddenly vibrated.

After taking out the stone and reading its contents, a mocking glint flickered in Su Shengyuan's eyes.

"Oh? Ye Qingyao! Heh, it seems Holy Son Tiange still hasn't given up on her. But... he definitely wouldn't imagine that Ye Qingyao now belongs to this Saint."

Back in the Heavenly Ancient Holy City's Ye family, Su Shengyuan knew Ye Qingyao had fallen for him and had completely 'blackened'.

However, he hadn't immediately let her taste the storm.

Because he knew Holy Son Tiange would never give up such an excellent Dual Cultivation Physique.

Sooner or later, Holy Son Tiange would seek out Ye Qingyao again.

This message from Ye Qingyao now confirmed Su Shengyuan's earlier conjecture.

The reason Su Shengyuan hadn't taken her back to the Su Family when he left the Heavenly Ancient Holy City was precisely for this moment.

Subsequently, Su Shengyuan used the Tai Huang Chasing Soul Guidance to monitor Holy Son Tiange's every move.

Then, he sent a message back to Ye Qingyao via the communication stone.

"Stay by Holy Son Tiange's side and wait for this Saint to come for you."

He had originally intended to go harvest Ye Bufan.

But now, Holy Son Tiange had delivered himself right to his doorstep, walking straight into the trap already laid out.

So, Su Shengyuan was happy to reap the rewards without effort.

...

In a tavern within the Heavenly Ancient Holy City...

Ye Qingyao, with light makeup applied, her dark hair flowing and coiled in elegant twin buns, her face remained as picturesque, fresh, and refined as ever.

She wore a red, form-fitting, high-slit gown with a daringly open neckline!

After reading the message Su Shengyuan sent back, a faint smile graced her lips.

She didn't know why she had fallen for Su Shengyuan.

That handsome, divine, and elegant demeanor was already deeply engraved in her heart, unshakable and impossible to erase.

"What a bad man."

Ye Qingyao shook her head slightly, yet her heart felt incredibly sweet.

Back at the Ye family, Su Shengyuan's eyes had only been for Ye Liuli, which had left Ye Qingyao utterly disappointed.

She had been willing to 'open her humble gate for the lord', but Su Shengyuan hadn't wanted to be that eager boy.

Just as she was in despair, one night, Su Shengyuan had actually sought her out.

Remembering that night, Ye Qingyao couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth curl up slightly.

At that moment, a young man in fine brocade robes with fitted sleeves walked in from outside and sat down opposite Ye Qingyao.

He had a handsome, jade-like face, a tall and slender figure, appearing every bit the noble Young Master, exuding heroic and dashing charm.

It was none other than the completely transformed Holy Son Tiange!

Back in the Treasure Trove Secret Realm, after his body was shattered by Ye Liuli and his Divine Soul fled, he had used treasures from another Secret Realm to reconstitute a new body.

After all, he was a reincarnated Demon Venerable from a past life, who had left behind numerous Treasure Trove Secret Realms as contingencies throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Reconstituting a body was very easy for him.

Having completely changed his appearance, Holy Son Tiange wasn't afraid of being detected by the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After all, within the Northern Dipper Domain, aside from Ye Qingyao, no one else knew his true identity.

Ye Qingyao looked at the man before her and smiled faintly. "Tiange, about the time I attacked you..."

Holy Son Tiange, with a deeply affectionate look in his eyes, interrupted Ye Qingyao's words.

"Qing Yao, you don't need to explain. I understand. I know you had your reasons back then, and I didn't consider the situation properly either. I need to apologize to you here."

"Thank you so much for forgiving my impulsiveness. You know what? After leaving the Northern Dipper Domain, I went to the Ancient Sands Domain. There, I participated in the Hundred Cities War and took first place."

"I've now reached the Late Stage of the Divine Power Realm. I have the ability to protect you now. Come with me. I'll give you an Opportunity to achieve sainthood."

"..."

Holy Son Tiange gazed at Ye Qingyao, his eyes full of deep affection, but also mixed with a hint of possessiveness.

Even though he had encountered many women during this period,

none could compare to Ye Liuli and Ye Qingyao.

After all, they possessed Dual Cultivation Physiques.

That's why he had returned to the Northern Dipper Domain, hoping to obtain Ye Qingyao.

Once he engaged in Dual Cultivation with Ye Qingyao, combined with the Secret Realm treasures left from his past life,

Holy Son Tiange was confident he could Breakthrough to the Peak in a short time.

By then, he would surely annihilate Su Shengyuan and the Su Family, leaving not a single scrap of armor, mountains of corpses, and rivers of blood.

After all, the humiliation Su Shengyuan had inflicted upon him felt like a knife cutting into his heart day and night.

Not to mention the hatred for the destruction of his clan!

He wished he could skin Su Shengyuan alive, tear out his tendons, devour his flesh, and drink his blood.

"I never imagined you suffered so much, Tiange, and had such profound, unforgettable experiences." Ye Qingyao appeared somewhat remorseful and sighed.

Holy Son Tiange, however, smiled indifferently. "It's all in the past now, Qing Yao. Let's start over, alright? I love you. In this life, I love only you."

As he spoke, Holy Son Tiange reached out to hold Ye Qingyao's jade-like hand.

Seeing this, Ye Qingyao slowly withdrew her pair of small, crystalline, jade-like hands, evading Holy Son Tiange's grasp.

"Qing Yao, come with me. Let's go to the Imperial Lineage Domain. I'll give you that Opportunity to achieve sainthood."

Holy Son Tiange awkwardly retracted his hand and repeated the so-called 'Opportunity to achieve sainthood'.

Ye Qingyao inwardly sneered.

Trying to tempt her with an Opportunity for sainthood?

Hah! Scum!

"Well... alright then." After hesitating for a moment, Ye Qingyao finally gave an answer.

Hearing this, Holy Son Tiange burst into hearty laughter. With a grand wave of his hand, he made a dashing declaration.

"Today, all expenses in this establishment are on this Young Master!"

Good heavens!

The patrons drinking in the tavern were startled by these words. They all looked towards the second floor, their gazes converging on Holy Son Tiange.

"Young Master, are these drunken ramblings?"

"This Young Master is in high spirits today! Haha, I mean what I say, and I do what I say."

"Come, come, everyone, let's toast the Young Master! Our utmost gratitude!"

"Innkeeper, bring out your most expensive wine!"

"..."

In an instant, the entire tavern became extremely lively.

Watching this scene, Ye Qingyao secretly shook her head.

She scoffed inwardly, cursing him as a big idiot.

Then, she touched the communication jade stone placed close to her body, and only then did she feel a sliver of comfort.

This was something Su Shengyuan had given her.

Naturally, she carried it close to her skin at all times, constantly sensing the lingering aura of Su Shengyuan upon it.

"Qing Yao, what are you spacing out for? Let's go. I'll take you to the Imperial Lineage Domain and begin our journey of happiness..."
