"Old man, itâs just a bubble in the water, look how scared you are..."
Glancing at the cold abyss, Ye Yun pressed his lips together and smiled discreetly.
"How am I scared? You little brat have the weakest cultivation base, yet you speak without caution - donât you know how to respect your elders?"
The elder in red robes glared at Ye Yun fiercely, looking quite unfriendly.
If it werenât for the fact that he was a Divine Emperor Realm powerhouse, with a transcendent attitude, combined with being part of the same lineage of Xuanbing Cave, he would have held back from attacking.
Otherwise.
In a fit of rage, the three young cultivators of the Di family would have blood splattered in five steps.
"Well, as long as youâre not scared."
Ye Yun smiled again.
Emperor Jiuying tugged at Ye Yunâs sleeve, and muttered quietly, "Donât provoke him anymore..."
Ye Yun nodded.
The two cold abysses were unfathomable, full of mysteries.
He didnât want to make a move for now, letting the arrogant elder in red robes take the lead.
Seeing the two of them being affectionate, the elder couldnât help but ask, "Hey, little girl, whatâs your relationship with this boy?"
"We are a pair of Dao partners..."
Emperor Jiuying answered truthfully.
"What? Did I hear it wrong?!"
The elder in red robes scratched his ear, exclaiming in disbelief, "Youâre a Divine King Realm cultivator, and heâs merely in the Divine Sovereign Realm, the difference is too great!"
"The realm isnât the issue..."
Emperor Jiuying found the elderâs reaction quite funny, pressing her lips, letting out a chuckle.
Long Yunziâs power was such that he could slaughter Divine Kings like they were nothing.
She, just a small First Level Divine King, was pathetically weak in comparison.
Long Yunziâs background was unfathomable, his divine techniques extraordinary; even Emperor Jiuying felt she might not be worthy of him.
"And your father-in-law... agreed too?"
The elder looked at Di Dao Lin, unable to resist a mocking smile.
"Agreed!
Haha, I wholeheartedly agree! They are a match made in heaven, a perfect pair, no one more suitable for my daughter..."
Di Dao Lin spread his hands, unable to hold back his laughter.
Behind Long Yunzi, a Divine Emperor level power was at his command.
Such strong background and power, their Di family was already reaching high.
"You are indeed a peculiar family..."
Upon hearing Di Dao Linâs words, the elder couldnât help but roll his eyes, hitting his chest.
He felt this family was abnormal.
Yet the little girl from the Di family indeed looked nice, with exceptional talent, a promising seed.
"Little girl, let me tell you, I have a grandson who is just at the Divine King Realm, a few levels above you. Why not consider being his Dao partner?"
The elder laughed heartily.
"Senior, I disagree!"
Emperor Jiuyingâs expression was resolute.
"Old man, itâs better to break up ten temples than one marriage. Why do you want to break us up as soon as you arrive?"
Ye Yun smiled faintly.
The elder, relying on his Divine Emperor Realm cultivation, was a bit self-indulgent, contemplating taking Emperor Jiuying back for his grandson as a Dao partner?
Thatâs not happening!
"Well, Iâm doing it for your sake, young man - to be honest, I happen to have a granddaughter, beautiful and at the Divine Sovereign Realm, why not consider being her Dao partner!"
The elder stroked his chin, his eyes turning as he laughed loudly.
Ye Yun: "..."
Despite his firm Dao heart.
At this moment, Ye Yun couldnât resist wanting to cut the elderâs unrestrained tongue.
He was really spinning tales.
Whereâs the connection? First his grandson, now his granddaughter, he wants to take them both?
"Hmm, a truly brilliant idea!"
The elderâs eyes sparkled, looking increasingly pleased, he laughed, "Xuanbing Cave... outside the Cold Abyss... fated for three lifetimes... a perfect match... haha, truly two marvelous affairs! Marvelous indeed!"
The elder clapped his hands, dancing with joy, laughing nonstop.
Di Dao Linâs face turned dark.
If his cultivation wasnât too low, he really would have charged to handle the elder.
This old man was really shameless.
Ye Yun was ready to burst.
Suddenly, the elder conjured a small sword with a flick of his hand; it vanished instantly.
"A message flying sword?"
Di Dao Lin was slightly surprised, unsure of the elderâs intentions.
"Iâve decided to take control of these two matters for your Di family. Although your power is rather weak, considering youâre part of the Xuanbing Cave lineage, I wonât mind. Now, Iâve sent this information back home, telling them to propose marriage soon..."
The elder said smilingly.
Di Dao Lin: "..."
Ye Yun: "..."
Emperor Jiuying: "..."
The three of them were stunned.
The elderâs speed was unexpected.
Didnât even ask for their opinion, just rushed into action?
Thatâs infuriating!
"Old man, isnât this excessively unfair?"
Ye Yun said, his face stern.
"Young man, Iâm doing this for your good! I see great potential in you; if you were with my granddaughter, your future would be limitless..."
The elder carried his hands behind him, smiling.
Seeing the elderâs carefree attitude, Ye Yun spread his hands, sneered, "Okay, since you like games so much, Iâll play with you to the end!"
"Haha... good!"
The elder looked at Ye Yun with satisfaction in his eyes.
Gurgle gurgle...
Another string of bubbles emerged from the cold abyssâs left side.
The elder contemplated, murmuring, "This should be a sign, Iâll place my ancestorâs remains first..."
After speaking.
He retrieved a silver box similar to the Di familyâs, holding it with both hands as he walked to the waterâs edge.
"Ancestor, may the cold abyss water accompany you... rest in peace!"
The elder said softly, his face solemn.
With a gentle toss, the silver box fell into the water.
A splash rose.
The silver box sank into the water, disappearing.
Watching this, the elder breathed a sigh of relief, his face relaxed into a smile.
"A long epochâs time, so many ancestors left the task unfinished, now Iâve finally completed it..."
The elder spoke with pride.
His cultivation wasnât significantly higher than his ancestorâs, but luck was on his side, finding the cold abyss and completing the task.
Gurgle...
The cold abyss gurgled; the silver box that had sunk reemerged.
"Whatâs happening?"
The elder was taken aback, his expression became grave.
Ye Yun was a bit curious.
This box seemed off... could this be the Di familyâs cold abyss?
Within the cold abyss.
Woosh!
A ray of light rose, tracing an arc in the air, landing on the elder.
The elder was instantly enveloped, the light abruptly contracted, plunging into the cold abyss.
"This..."
Di Dao Lin witnessed this, feeling a chill down his spine.
