Chapter 187 - Shame of the Righteous Path
【Looking at the jade bracelet in her hand, Fu Wangdai couldn’t help but widen her eyes.】
【She had never imagined in her wildest dreams that Ye Yu’s mother would be so accepting of her background.】
【What kind of divine mother-in-law is this?】
【This made Fu Wangdai feel a deep warmth in her heart.】
【Then, He Jieying changed the subject, saying, You two should go to the Central Continent, or any other continent will do!】
【Change your identities there and continue your lives. This way, you’ll avoid a lot of trouble.】
【Upon hearing this, Fu Wangdai did not speak but turned to look at Ye Yu.】
【Ye Yu’s expression grew serious.】
【He asked: Has something happened?】
【He Jieying did not speak immediately.】
【Instead, she moved to the side.】
【Ye Yu followed her right away.】
【Fu Wangdai, understanding the situation, stayed put.】
【Once Ye Yu reached He Jieying’s side, he set up a soundproof barrier and asked, Can we talk now?】
【He Jieying sighed: Your father, Old Ye, is a stubborn bookworm. He is very concerned about your fiancée’s background.】
【According to him, either you give up on Fu Wangdai, or he will disown you as his son.】
【Of course, I know this is just anger talking. Why don’t you give me some time to persuade Old Ye?】
【You two should go to another continent first, and come back once you have a child. By then, there won’t be any need to worry about Old Ye disowning you.】
【Hearing this, Ye Yu raised an eyebrow: Are you serious?】
【He Jieying nodded.】
【In her heart, she couldn’t help but think: “Don’t blame Old Ye for being harsh. If you don’t leave soon, we won’t be able to protect you.”】
【”In a few years, you’ll understand our concerns.”】
【Upon hearing this thought, Ye Yu already had a guess in his mind.】
【He then removed the soundproof barrier, agreeing to He Jieying’s suggestion.】
【That night, under her guidance, Ye Yu took Fu Wangdai and left the mountain village.】
【The two traveled through the air.】
【Neither of them spoke first.】
【They only slowed down when they reached the edge of the Western Frontier Continent.】
【Ye Yu said softly: Will you wait for me here for a few days? I need to go back and handle some things. And also check into the matter of your parents’ deaths.】
【Fu Wangdai nodded in agreement.】
【She then watched Ye Yu leave, holding tightly to the jade bracelet, her expression gradually turned icy.】
【Turning south, she gazed towards the Five Flowers Prison Sect.】
【Fu Changhong had only left during the day. And that very night, He Jieying had come to visit.】
【If this matter is related to Fu Changhong…】
【In Fu Wangdai’s mind, she could tolerate anything from her aunt, but if it was about tearing her and Ye Yu apart, then Fu Wangdai would never just swallow her anger!】
【In fact, it was just as she had suspected.】
【After Fu Changhong left the mountain village, she began spreading the news throughout the cultivation world that Ye Yu and Fu Wangdai had become Dao companions.】
【She even personally informed He Jieying of their location.】
【Her goal was to make Ye Yu a target of widespread condemnation, forcing him to separate from Fu Wangdai.】
【As expected, once the news spread, it triggered intense opposition from countless righteous sects.】
【How could a righteous cultivator be with a demon?】
【This was a disgrace to the righteous path!】
【Thus, one of the sacred lands, the Three Harmonies Temple, stepped forward.】
【With a wave of their hand, they gathered hundreds of cultivators.】
【The next day, they arrived at the gate of the Ji Xia Academy, demanding that Ye Yu come out and speak.】
【Ye Qingyu stepped out alone, stating that Ye Yu had been traveling for many years and had not returned.】
【At this moment, someone immediately began to shout:】
【Traveling for many years?】
【The demoness Fu Wangdai has also been missing for years.】
【It seems the news is definitely true; the two must have conspired together!】
【Hearing these words, Ye Qingyu’s face turned a deep shade of iron, but he remained silent.】
【At this point, another voice claimed that the failure to eliminate the demons eight years ago was because Ye Yu had secretly warned Fu Wangdai.】
【That’s why Fu Wangdai had escaped.】
【Ye Yu was undoubtedly a criminal of the righteous path!】
【These statements were accepted by many.】
【The righteous cultivators outside cursed more and more harshly, with even obscene language.】
【Ye Qingyu listened silently.】
【After a moment, when he saw He Jieying returning to the Ji Xia Academy and giving him a subtle nod, Ye Qingyu understood that Ye Yu had indeed left the Western Frontier Continent.】
【With this, there were no further concerns.】
【Thus, this esteemed elder of the Ji Xia Academy, known for his good temper in the cultivation world, completely broke with his usual demeanor.】
【For the first time ever, he shouted a curse.】
【Fuck off!】
【These two words, amplified by his early-stage Tribulation Realm cultivation, exploded with tremendous impact.】
【Cultivators below the Tribulation Realm felt their chests tighten, their energy flow disrupted.】
【Master Nian Kong of Three Harmonies Temple, seeing this, immediately raised one hand before him. He recited Buddhist scriptures.】
【In an instant, a towering golden Buddha image appeared.】
【It shielded all the cultivators behind him.】
【The light emanating from the Buddha image also brought a sense of warmth to everyone present.】
【After a moment, everyone stabilized themselves.】
【However, Master Nian Kong did not dispel the Buddha image. He sternly asked, Elder Ye, what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to protect your son and, in doing so, oppose the entire righteous path?】
【He Jieying moved to Ye Qingyu’s side. In a deep voice, she said, Bald monk, don’t put on such a high hat. We don’t understand what you mean by protecting or not protecting.】
【Right now, even we cannot find Ye Yu. What will you do about it?】
【At this moment, the Ji Xia Academy’s master, Feng Xianshi, took the initiative to appear.】
【He spoke softly, Qingyu, some matters cannot be stubbornly pursued. Reveal Ye Yu’s whereabouts. As long as he is willing to turn back and not fall into the demonic path, I can guarantee his life!】
【Otherwise, no one can save him!】
【The Ji Xia Academy is not a place to harbor dirt; it absolutely will not tolerate those who conspire with demons.】
【Feng Xianshi did not lower his voice, making sure that everyone present heard him clearly.】
【Rather than being a kind admonition, it was more a declaration of stance.】
【Ye Qingyu laughed loudly.】
【He did not expect that nearly two thousand years of fellowship among sect members, would be so fragile.】
【Last night, Feng Xianshi had claimed he would support Ye Qingyu to the end.】
【Yet today, in front of everyone, he demanded Ye Yu be handed over.】
【How the world has changed, and how fickle human hearts have become!】
【Ye Qingyu declared loudly, What a fine place that doesn’t harbor filth! I, Ye Qingyu, hereby announce my resignation as the grand elder. I will become a rogue cultivator!】
【As for Ye Yu’s whereabouts, I do not know. Even if I did, I would not tell you!】
【Upon hearing this, a trace of concealed delight flashed in Feng Xianshi’s eyes.】
【But he pretended to be angry and said, Ye Qingyu, you are condoning your son’s fall into the demonic path! Not only will this ruin him, but it will also ruin you!】
【He Jieying could no longer stand it and was about to speak out in anger when, a warm, melodious voice came from above.】
【Fuck your mother!】
