1111: Chapter 1111: The Way is the Summit 1111: Chapter 1111: The Way is the Summit Ye Qingci’s brows furrowed, but she did not retort, knowing that any words would be empty talk.
Quick-wittedness at this mont had no significance.
The young generation’s number one in the world, Ye Qingci was determined to claim that title!
She understood that Long Xuan had stood at the mountain peak for too long, and if he smoothly took advantage of fate to beco an Earth Immortal, when the ti, place, and people were aligned, she would have no chance of catching up to Long Xuan in this lifeti.
“To be honest, after knowing you were in Dongying, I still held expectations for you.
Unfortunately, your performance has been too disappointing,” he said.
It wasn’t just in terms of strength—after all, Ye Qingci was only a Nascent Soul.
No matter how many techniques and secret thods she had, the thought of crossing an entire realm to catch up to him was delusional.
He was testing Ye Qingci, not for strength or tactics, but for her Dao Heart.
And what Ye Qingci displayed, the things she insisted on, seed far too trivial in Long Xuan’s eyes.
So trivial, in fact, that they weren’t worth his notice.
How could soone who was willing to give up their own Dao for the sake of Su Chengyu, be worthy of competing with him for fate?
“Different paths do not lead to common goals.
You have your pursuits, and I have my convictions.
I do not need your approval.
Even if thousands in the world look down on , Ye Qingci, who can stop from reaching the summit?”
Long Xuan smiled faintly, no longer interested, “Do your best.”
With a turn, three peach wood swords automatically sheathed themselves.
As he left, he glanced at Su Chengyu but said nothing more and departed.
Su Chengyu, still shaken, looked toward Ye Qingci, “Has Long Xuan left?”
Ye Qingci nodded, then turned to Su Chengyu and asked, “Are you okay?”
“I’m…
I’m fine.”
Despite his words, Ye Qingci could distinctly sense Su Chengyu’s currently unstable state of mind and frowned, “What’s wrong?”
After hesitating for a mont, Su Chengyu finally spoke, “The way he looked at just now, it was like he was looking at a dead person.”
Long Xuan had not said a word, but Su Chengyu knew that if they t again, Long Xuan would not hesitate to kill him.
Without uttering a single word, simply because Su Chengyu was not even worth an extra word from him.
That gaze was not one of contempt; the way Long Xuan looked at him was as though seeing an ant, not even worth considering.
In that mont, Su Chengyu realized what kind of monster Ye Qingci was confronting—an entity that monopolized the mountaintop, dwarfing all other mountains, let alone Su Chengyu, who had just begun his ascent.
Without seeing the mountaintop, one is unaware of its fury.
Su Chengyu was not without ambition, it was just the first ti he realized that the place he aspired to was so daunting.
Seeing Su Chengyu like this, Ye Qingci imdiately understood that his Dao Heart had been nearly obscured by Long Xuan’s single glance.
However, the fact that Su Chengyu could still think calmly showed he was doing much better than Ye Qingci had in her early years.
“Su Chengyu, I have sothing your father once told that I want to pass on to you now,” she said.
“My father?”
Su Chengyu looked up in surprise, and Ye Qingci showed a gentle smile, “Yes.
Your father once told that everyone has mountains they cannot see.
You either give up imdiately or you climb over it step by step, leaving footprints.
Su Chengyu, you’re not one to give up, are you?”
“Of course not!”
Ye Qingci smiled.
This response was far better than her own from those years ago.
“Your big brother would be relieved to see you like this,” she said.
“Big brother?”
Su Chengyu asked in confusion.
“Your father treated like a brother.
I have always regarded him as my most admired idol, my closest big brother.”
Su Chengyu blinked and said, “What kind of person was my father?”
Last ti he saw Aunt Feng, Su Chengyu actually wanted to ask her.
But thinking about Aunt Feng and his father’s past, he always hesitated to ask too much and thus held back.
“Your father was a very free-spirited man with a bright personality.
When I was little, he would often let ride on his neck, secretly taking away from the Capital City.”
Su Chengyu blinked, picturing that scene, which seed rather comical to him.
“He was also very good to .
During the ti I was most confused, it was he who encouraged and saved .”
“Saved?”
Su Chengyu latched onto the keyword and pressed on.
Ye Qingci’s expression suddenly turned cold, and she glanced at Su Chengyu, “Are you trying to ask about your father, or are you trying to ask about ?”
Su Chengyu ekly responded, “Can’t I ask about both?”
“No.”
Feeling sowhat disgruntled, Su Chengyu dared not speak again.
However, Ye Qingci took the initiative to continue, “I was born to Ascend the Dao.
I started cultivating earlier than anyone around .
But to see those supposedly less talented than slowly surpassing and reaching places I could not, do you know how desperate that felt?”
Su Chengyu suddenly understood.
Ye Qingci’s cultivation technique was special, and although she now appeared as an unmatched genius, she must have endured much scorn in her early years.
Even from the prestigious Ye Family, people didn’t dare to say it aloud, but what they whispered behind her back—how could Ye Qingci be completely unaware?
Moreover, when watching others step by step surpass her, Ye Qingci faced trendous pressure during her childhood, after all, she was the one with the greatest expectations.
“Aunt Ye…”
“It’s all in the past now.
I’ve crossed many peaks and the summit ahead is no longer out of reach.
Instead of worrying about , you’d better think more about yourself.”
Ye Qingci returned to her usual indifference.
She didn’t ntion her own struggles to seek sympathy from Su Chengyu, but rather to prevent Long Xuan from casting a shadow on Su Chengyu’s path of cultivation.
Su Chengyu quickly understood as well and nodded firmly.
“Are you planning to reach Nascent Soul in Dongying?”
“Yes, that was the minor goal I set for myself before heading to the Capital City.”
“That’s good.
Your realm is sufficient now.
After witnessing the battle between and Long Xuan, you should also be ready to take that final step, right?”
Su Chengyu thought back to the battle just now and realized, “Aunt Ye, you used the True Dragon Technique just now for my sake.”
“It was just sothing I did conveniently.
Using other thods, I couldn’t have changed much of the situation either.
The biggest difference between Long Xuan and right now is our respective realms.”
Su Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, “I am about seventy to eighty percent confident.”
“Good, just be wary of the Heart Demon Tribulation.
There’s a high chance that Long Xuan will feature in your tribulation.”
“I understand, I’ll prepare in advance.”
Su Chengyu spoke with gratitude.
“Prepare in advance?
You’re not free these two days?”
Su Chengyu instantly grasped her aning and said excitedly, “Aunt Ye, are you willing to be my protector?”
Ye Qingci gave him a look.
She had just risked her life to save him, and this question seed pointless, didn’t it?
“Handling Long Xuan took its toll, and I got so injuries; it’s just right that I need to recuperate for a couple of days.
Just don’t drag it out for ten days or half a month.”
“Of course not!
Aunt Ye, please wait!
I’ll get the God-ranked Elixir tomorrow and begin the Tribulation!”
