Chapter 1918 : Finish my regards

Ye Xiao laughed and said, “This time’s main purpose was naturally exactly to express my sincere sentiments to these seven old people for their help before. Next… a certain Ye right now also can be considered to have some small achievements. Therefore… I was thinking some…”

Old Man Guan and the others, hearing this, had their eyes simultaneously brighten, but afterwards they also immediately sighed.

Ye Xiao smiled. “Perhaps you few old fellows misunderstood somewhat, I don’t have that meaning at all… My meaning is… in the middle of this worldwide battle, if I have something that I’m capable of doing to help the seven elderlies, please be generous and instruct me, you mustn’t be polite. I still have some considerable achievements in the Pill Dao… If your younger generations have a headache and fever, it’s hard to seek good medicine, yes. Don’t hesitate to accompany me in the Tree Fortress, I don’t refuse any who come, the more the better, for saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-layer pagoda…”

Old Man Guan and the others suddenly raised their heads! In that one moment, seven pairs of eyes shone as bright as lightbulbs!

Ye Xiao’s words had a strange appearance, and their outside appearance and inner reality were different. Those seven old people, who were deeply versed in the true meaning of those words, all felt warm sentiments in their hearts.

So-called headache and fever hard to seek good medicine and so on, all of that was no more than an excuse. It was almost equal to just telling these seven elderlies that the Tree Fortress has room, and that they could place people inside of it as they wished. Everyone was one of his people, and he would naturally give his people a place to shelter in the chaos of the battle, as it should be by rights!

With this sort of chaotic worldwide battle situation, although they were members of the same clan as the Seven Golden Lotuses, they were simply unable to withstand a single blow to their humble clans.

Even if just now the Ye Family forces had obtained a great victory, beneath the surface it was still extremely clear that they were… vulnerable!

So much so that you could say that they could give up at any time, so much so that they had already started to give up!

This point, no matter whether it was Big Mister Ye or the Seven Golden Lotuses old ancestors, they were clear early on. Those transcendent high-end existences naturally could be careless, but, people on the level of Old Man Guan absolutely had to care.

Family, bloodlines, inheritance… these actually are all matters that the seven old men kept in mind constantly and were unable to let go of.

But Ye Xiao, to give out this promise, is equal to giving the many descendants of the Seven Lotus family clans a most dependable opportunity to continue!

“Obtaining this promise now from Monarch Ye… these old fogies… can also die content!”

Old Man Guan had tears in his eyes, and he deeply saluted.

Ye Xiao gently sighed, but didn’t dodge the salute of the seven elderlies.

If possible, Ye Xiao would still like to put these seven old people together under his protection, but… Ye Xiao himself knew, this wasn’t possible.

The seven old people’s identities were the issue. They were already thoroughly locked until death with the Ye Family forces!

This point was something that Ye Xiao was unable to change!

This time, as his visit came to an end, Ye Xiao brought the commissions of the seven elderlies, and quietly left as he tucked a name list away into his bosom.

Mo Feiyun and the others left behind twenty people.

Inside these few days of time, they will go to every effort and whatever method necessary to carry away the people on this name list!

Bring them back to the Monarch’s Hall, bring them back to the Life or Death Hall Tree Fortress!

…

A piece of divine sense shrouded the area.

The Seven Golden Lotuses old ancestors all silently watched the direction Ye Xiao left in. All were quiet without a sound.

“Inherently genuinely good, he is aware of favors and pursues recompense.”

“Not bad, not bad!”

“Obtaining this opportunity to escape calamity, this old man can actually put down a load off of his mind.”

Yue Youyou had a gratified smile on his face.

Ye Hongchen watched Ye Xiao go far off into the distance, his expression that of a full heart and plenty of reassurances!

At his side, a sturdy youth and a white clothed beautiful woman watched and regarded him.

“Big Brother, this youngster is the person you chose?” The sturdy youth cracked his neck.

“En. Also not bad, eh?” Ye Hongchen slightly smiled.

“Also okay also okay, but it’s like… he’s not ferocious enough, rather is somewhat motherly!” The sturdy youth scolded with a toothy smile.

“What is this? Could it be that you insist on him not recognizing his own family like you!?” The white clothed beautiful woman’s facial features were gentle, and her temperament was like that of water, able to melt the whole world. It was a pity that as soon as she opened her mouth, words came out that directly caused that sturdy youth to choke and roll his eyes.

“I say, phoenix younger sister… how can you say that to me! This also…” The sturdy youth scratched his head, speechless.

The white clothed beautiful woman snorted and said, “What phoenix younger sister… call me elder-sister-in-law!” (TLN: specifically the wife of the elder brother, someone higher in seniority than a younger sister would be)

That sturdy youth was dumbstruck, and pointed with a shuddering finger. “Y-you-you… hey!” He turned his head to look over at Ye Hongchen, looking a bit vexed. “Big Brother… you said in those days that you would restrain this dead girl, did I ever left my head up in those years? Through those years, in any case, I’m also a big brother, hey!”

The white clothed beautiful woman snorted and held out her hand holding Ye Hongchen’s arm. She curled her lip towards that sturdy youth and said, “We’re two different groups, please don’t muddy saying elder brother and younger sister, understand?”

The sturdy youth was immediately dumbstruck and unable to reply.

Ye Hongchen let out a big laugh.

The sturdy youth thought a moment, suddenly blinking his eyes. “Big Brother, it seems like you’re really sort of alike with this Ye Xiao, a sort of deeper acquaintance…”

The sturdy youth nodded his head, and honestly stated, “Thinking about it carefully… it’s also indeed not a big resemblance. Although both sides have one dragon and one phoenix, however… Big Brother, you had a dragon become your brother and a phoenix become your wife… but friend Ye Xiao actually accepted a son and a daughter, that’s baselessly higher by a generation…”

Ye Hongchen and the white clothed beautiful woman to the side’s complexions immediately changed.

The next moment, fierce wind, violent rain, and the sounds of thunder and flashes of lightning suddenly arrived…

The sturdy youth’s screams resonated world-shakingly through the skies. “Help… Spare me… I don’t dare… Big Brother… elder-sis-in-law elder-sis-in-law elder-sis-in-law… I called you elder-sis-in-law, understand? You also hit… you also… help me…”

… “Since we’re already done, why didn’t we take those seven elderlies away together with us?” Xuan Bing softly asked.

“Ai, they already appointed who we should bring, and those seven elderlies certainly wouldn’t agree to be brought along.” Ye Xiao sighed. “Acting as the Seven Lotuses present era heads of household, they could only remain here, regardless of whether the final result is life or death. This is the Seven Lotus family clan heads’ destiny, also is lotus and leaf’s mutual following bind…”

“Even if they clearly know that it means death?”

“What is clearly knowing is death? The current deadlock, as long as someone has a discerning eye how would they not know?”

Jun Yinglian was silent for a good long time. “It’s a pity!”

Ye Xiao said, “Today’s battle, the Ye Family forces seized total victory and gave the big Western Sky a crushing defeat, but… Perhaps it will be tomorrow or even the day after. In short, the big Western Sky will inevitably launch a destructive counterattack towards the Ye Family forces. I will wait for Mo Feiyun’s 20 people here and look for an opportunity to move… again add our Snake Hall’s and Mouse Hall’s strengths to this…”

“If the Ye Family forces’s main force Ye Yunduan ends up dying… I expect our people will be capable of saving many of those who come out.”

Ye Xiao shut his eyes, saying, “Only… those people capable of surviving will not be too many…”

Emperor’s anger, excessive corpses for a thousand li! The big Western Sky King hadn’t experienced this kind of humiliation for hundreds of thousands of years, and he would be performing a counterattack. It was inevitable that he would be employing the most fierce, most extreme methods. Saving people under this kind of situation is having a heart for the heartless. Ye Xiao also didn’t feel very optimistic!
