Chapter 241 – The Northern Emperor

Her sister Er Ya instantly got pale. She came up and said worryingly, “I know that you like him. But you’re just 15 years old. How could you…”

“I don’t care! If I don’t do this, how will you let me marry him! Grandpa, you will agree, right?” Si Ya knew that her Grandfather would be the only one rejecting her. But soon after she finished, she noticed how gloomy and scary Grandfather looked at this time. Even her usually lighthearted father just stood still and didn’t say a word.

She got scared and didn’t say anything further. Ever since she told them what had happened, the atmosphere was just eerie.

Si Ya’s father turned to Grandpa and said, “father, this is my fault. Since Si Ya is still young, there are quite many things I haven’t told her yet.”

Grandpa was still having a poker face. Anger, frustration and helplessness were the emotions he was experiencing now. At this moment, Ye Wuchen suggested, “Grandpa, come with me, there is something I should tell you. Xueer, let’s get back.”

After that, Ye Wuchen returned to his house with Ningxue. In the past, he had always used a respectful tone when talking to Grandpa. At this time, he was in a tone of order. Grandpa was confused and furious, he didn’t want to look at Si Ya further. He gave a deep sigh and walked out.

After Grandpa left, Si Ya asked her father shaking, “dad, why did Grandpa get so angry? I just really, really want to…”

Her father shook his head and sighed, “Si Ya, in the past, no matter how you messed around, Grandpa would not really get mad at you. But this time, you’ve done something that can never be forgiven!”

“What?” Si Ya was shocked.

Ye Wuchen and the old man went to the house one after the other, and he tried to sit down on his wheelchair with the help of Ningxue. He was facing the old man at this moment. The old man said, “I know that I can’t blame you for this. I know how Si Ya is and I guess you’ve been forced to do it. However, things are not as simple as they seem to be. You didn’t belong to here before and so you had no idea.”

The old man had said it all. And all so accurately. Ye Wuchen did not continue this topic but he just said what was on his mind, “I have been here for some time. And I am literally a useless man. However, I have been feeling very comfortable here every day, and people are really nice to me. I am really grateful to each of you. Even the wheelchair that I am sitting on now, I will still cherish it if I have the chance to recover one day. Actually, I have always been wondering what had contributed to the formation of this pure and innocent place. When I fell from Duanhun Cliff, why was there a mysterious force protecting me, preventing me from dying? Grandpa, can you tell me why?”

His voice and look were so calm, and it gave Grandpa a different impression. He doubted a little, then frowned, “that time, when my grandfather fell, there was also a magical power protecting him. No one knew what it was, not even him.”

“Well, I know what it is.” Ye Wuchen smiled and said.

The old man’s eyes flashed, reflecting his surprise, “do you?”

Ye Wuchen kept playing with Ningxue’s fingers, he looked at Grandpa straightly, “since the first day I got here, I have been having some doubts. When time goes by, something has become quite clear to me. And my questions then got answered. Yesterday, I formed a summary myself.”

“A long time ago, there was an immense power on Tianchen Continent and everyone knew about its existence. No one ever tried to offend this immense power. Despite being powerful, it has never tried to hurt anyone, it hasn’t even tried to intervene in anyone’s business. This power was not led by a human, but a mission inherited from previous generations. It has always tried to look for a particular person and before it does, it cannot, and will not intervene in any business of ordinary people.”

Ye Wuchen looked at the old man and found that he was amazed at what he’d told.

“However, although they have been looking for a hundred, thousands and even tens of thousands of years, they still didn’t find a single trace of this immense power. They began to wonder if this was simply a rumor. They doubted if they had been fooled by an old saying for many generations. Therefore, this group of people began to split in itself, one part of it was still trying to hold on to its initial belief, another part was starting to look for ways to dominate the world, and to conquer it.”

“This decision was totally in contrary to what was taught and passed down. And although half of the power was going to take action, another half still opposed. This formed a vital contradiction. There was a war between the two split forces. The part that was trying to oppose was the minority, and the part that was trying to dominate the world still could not get rid of this opposing power. What happened was that the two forces fought with each other ever so violently and without holding back, even though they were once united brothers.”

“The fight might have lasted for a long time. The opposing power was trying its best to hide and to minimize casualties. One day, they were forced at the edge of Duanhun Cliff. The force was exhausted and only a few people had survived. Under desperation, and since they didn’t want to be killed by their brothers, they jumped off the Duanhun Cliff. That happened about a hundred years ago.”
