The situation is a bit awkward.
Though Liu Mubai doesn’t want to admit it, it’s indeed the truth.
"You brat, don’t forget who taught you your Spirit Martial Unity!" Liu Mubai was somewhat embarrassed and angry, glaring at Ye Chen with his big eyes.
Ye Chen: "Uncle, calm down, let’s talk this over nicely. I don’t want to fight, it’ll only harm our relationship. How can we, people from the Lingwu system, fight among ourselves?"
"So you do remember I’m your uncle."
"Of course, I’ve always remembered. Back then, the teacher didn’t have the time to pass on the Spirit Martial Creation Technique to me, it was uncle who did it for him. Precisely because of this, we shouldn’t fight. What if I hurt uncle? That wouldn’t be good."
The first half of the sentence made Liu Mubai feel somewhat gratified.
The second half felt like a knife had stabbed into his heart.
Ye Chen continued, "Uncle, you want to inherit the Aurora Sword Dao, one reason being to enhance your foundation for a quick breakthrough into the Emperor Realm, facilitating inheriting your father-in-law’s Celestial Blade Dao, right?"
Liu Mubai nodded.
Ye Chen: "Uncle, you’re a sword Dao genius. Although the Celestial Blade Emperor’s Dao is powerful, it might not be suitable for you."
Liu Mubai said sternly, "It’s the only way when there’s no other choice."
"Not necessarily." Ye Chen immediately said, "What if the Celestial Blade Emperor really progresses further? Once he breaks through the shackles, he can turn decay into wonder, the crises within the Martial Alliance won’t be a problem!"
"You don’t understand how hard it is to progress further at their level!" Liu Mubai sighed, "The piece of Enlightenment Tea you sent is far from enough..."
"That’s easy to handle." Ye Chen smiled lightly, "If one piece is not enough, then two pieces, if two is not enough, then three, use as much as needed!"
Liu Mubai tossed Ye Chen a look, "Do you think the Enlightenment Tea leaves are from your home garden’s tea tree?"
Ye Chen: "..."
Uncle is sharp, hit the nail on the head!
Isn’t that so?
The Enlightenment Tea Tree is right in my backyard, even carrying it around!
Of course, this can’t be said for now, lest Uncle gets frightened.
Ye Chen: "Uncle, look."
The next moment, Liu Mubai’s gaze became transfixed!
Ye Chen waved an Enlightenment Tea leaf in front of Liu Mubai, then casually tossed it.
Liu Mubai hurriedly caught the tea leaf with both hands, the light leaf, in his hands, seemed as heavy as a million pounds.
"Where did this e from? Could it be you grabbed Xue Dingchuan’s piece? I thought you gave it to the Celestial Cauldron Emperor!" Liu Mubai’s voice was filled with shock.
Ye Chen: "I’ve already given it to the Celestial Cauldron Emperor; this is what I have left."
Liu Mubai looked dumbfounded.
They only collected three pieces of Enlightenment Tea, another piece was with the forbidden area evil spirit, Ye Chen gave one to the Celestial Blade Emperor, another to the Celestial Cauldron Emperor, so where did the piece in Ye Chen’s hand e from?
Ye Chen said, "Uncle, although you didn’t go to the forbidden area that time, you should have heard who was the last person to touch the Enlightenment Tea Tree."
"Yes, you impersonated Xue Dingchuan to pick a piece of Enlightenment Tea, then the Enlightenment Tea Tree disappeared."
Ye Chen laughed, "Actually, I picked eight pieces at once, so according to the records, the Enlightenment Tea Tree disappeared after it was picked the ten pieces."
"What?"
Liu Mubai’s eyes bulged.
Ye Chen: "I picked eight pieces myself and grabbed one from Xue Dingchuan, a total of nine pieces, one here, one there, ate some myself, and some are still left.
But for now, I just carry one piece on me. Uncle, take it back to honor your father-in-law, after all, you’re marrying his daughter. We, people of the Lingwu system, can’t be stingy. In a while, I’ll bring all the Enlightenment Tea and help uncle deliver the betrothal gift."
Liu Mubai: "..."
The so-called Heaven-Shocking Swordsman, actually reduced to having a nephew help prepare the betrothal gift!
Ye Chen: "Uncle, you wouldn’t plan not to give a betrothal gift, would you? To say it up front, we, from the Lingwu system, provide no dowry!"
Not even if it means entering the household of a Great Emperor...
The Lingwu system values its reputation!
Even if no one knows the three words Lingwu system, as a member of the Lingwu system, one must have backbone!
Liu Mubai gritted his teeth, "You brat, dare to mock me."
Ye Chen smiled, the atmosphere eased up a lot, "Uncle, there’s hope regarding your father-in-law’s matter now, let’s talk about the Aurora Sword Dao.
Of course, uncle, your mindset must first be a bit more proper.
You’re the uncle; I’m the nephew, but now I’m more skilled than you. You’re afraid of holding me back, afraid I’ll get trapped and can’t escape, but actually... I can handle things better.
So, let’s open up, talk openly and share everything."
Liu Mubai, again feeling a knife in his heart, was silent for a moment, "I want to obtain the Aurora Sword Dao, partly to contribute to resolving the chaos within the Martial Alliance.
But... there’s a deeper reason.
This matter is related to my senior brother!"
"Teacher?" Ye Chen’s expression tightened, "The teacher doesn’t even know where the Celestial Burial Sea is, how could the Aurora Sword Dao from there be related to the teacher!"
Liu Mubai sighed, "I’m not sure either, but in reality, my senior brother is very likely to be related to the Aurora Sword Dao. Once, I accidentally saw my senior brother’s portrait in a dusty tome within the Martial Alliance."
"Could it just be a resemblance?" Ye Chen frowned.
Liu Mubai: "If it were just the portrait, I wouldn’t think much of it. But... in the introduction of the portrait, it was named Yang Tianji!"
At that moment, Ye Chen felt this definitely wasn’t a coincidence.
Looks alike, same name, there must be something wrong.
"Uncle, what else is recorded in the tome?"
Liu Mubai said, "It recorded that my senior brother and the Aurora Sword Emperor were from the same era, they were close friends. When the Aurora Sword Emperor fell, my senior brother went to assist, and since then, he never appeared again in the Celestial Burial Sea.
This is the only minimal record, so I’ve been secretly investigating the information about the Aurora Sword Emperor’s fall.
This eminent swordsman who once shone for an era, his death left many sighs in the Celestial Burial Sea, but no one knows who caused his demise.
One time, during a conversation with the Celestial Blade Emperor, I discovered some clues from his mouth that indicated the Aurora Sword Emperor’s Aurora Sword Dao might have touched the Celestial Burial Sea’s biggest secret, inviting disaster.
Regarding the Aurora Sword Emperor, I don’t intend to delve too much, but my senior brother... I cannot ignore.
You might not know, my senior brother suffers torment so painful it’s unbearable at times; I couldn’t figure out why back then, but now it seems it must be related to the Aurora Sword Emperor’s fall.
Just based on this, I have to find out the truth pletely.
And the only clue is the Aurora Sword Dao!"
Ye Chen’s expression became resolute.
"Uncle, since that’s the case, I even more can’t ignore this."
Teacher Yang Tianji’s kindness towards him, Ye Chen has always kept in mind.
Liu Mubai said, "It’s very dangerous!"
Ye Chen: "Uncle, the biggest secret you mentioned regarding the Celestial Burial Sea should be the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins, it’s not that big of a deal. I’ll find some time to lift those coffin lids!"
