Chapter 959 (Ye Family)
In fact, Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi were also very troubled about who Ye Hua was before losing his memory.
According to what Ye Juetian just said, Ye Hua must have been someone beloved, and the emphasis was on that! The fact that Ye Hua had a wife before and she was still waiting for him was not good news. The whole situation was complicated.
It was unclear how Ye Hua would handle this, but could he really act as if nothing had happened?
It seemed unlikely; Ye Hua was just struggling to accept it at the moment.
On the other side, Ye Juetian returned to the Spirit City, carrying a bellyful of anger.
The Spirit City was the central area of the Divine Realm, much larger than the place Ye Hua had previously annihilated. It gathered powerful Overlords and even some transcendents were scattered around.
However, here, strength was an advantage, but family influence still mattered. A massive family had more influence than an individual Overlord, just like the Ye Family, one of the three major families in the Spirit City. However, it had lost its former glory since the disappearance of Ye Hua a thousand years ago. Though it remained one of the top three families, it was not as prominent as before.
Since the eldest son of the Ye Family, Ye Hua, disappeared a thousand years ago, the family had gradually declined. It had been replaced, but it was still one of the top families besides the three major families - the Ye Family.
The Ye Family and the imperial empire on the Sapphire Continent were actually not much different. They had houses, a palace, and the only possible difference was the environment.
The air was filled with a rich spiritual energy, making a vast difference when compared to the Sapphire Continent.
When Ye Juetian appeared on the streets of the Spirit City, many girls cast adoring glances at him. Some even regarded him as a replacement for Ye Hua, as the resemblance between the two brothers was striking. It was as if Ye Hua, who had been presumed dead, was standing there alive and well.
Today, Ye Juetian had no mood for showing off. His face was stiff, and he felt a lump in his chest.
His big brother had changed. The person he considered his big brother was not the one before. Ye Hua had indeed been cold and ruthless in the past, but his heart had still been warm, especially towards family, friends, and brothers. Even if he knew those brothers harboured jealousy, he would step forward to help when needed.
In his big brother's words, they were all their own brothers; there was no need to be so calculative.
The big brother from the past and the big brother now were like two extremes, and Ye Juetian couldn't understand it.
Unconsciously, Ye Juetian arrived at the entrance of the Ye Family mansion.
Ye Family!
The two characters were engraved on a black plaque with a dragon and phoenix dancing around them. The powerful aura of the Ye Family emanated from it. Instead of lions, there were jade dragons on either side.
This was bestowed by the emperor of the Spirit City in recognition of the Ye Family's contributions over the years. Of course, this happened after Ye Hua's disappearance.
Only the Ye Family enjoyed such imperial favour. The current three major families didn't receive such treatment. After all, the dragon was a symbol of the emperor.
"Master Ye." The family guards on both sides respectfully greeted.
Ye Juetian walked into the gate with a stern face, causing confusion among the guards.
Young Master Ye was acting unusually today. He used to joke around a bit before, but today his face was serious. Could he have encountered something unpleasant outside? Or perhaps, he suffered some losses from the other three major families?
Thinking back, how glorious the Ye Family used to be, but that past glory is gone and will never return.
The Ye Family's mansion has remained unchanged, still enjoying the same treatment as before. Inside the mansion, there are flowing streams and elegant surroundings, making it an excellent place for rejuvenation. Coupled with the fragrant air, it is truly a pleasant place.
"Little Tian, where have you been these days?" Just as Ye Juetian was about to go to his mother's small courtyard, a voice came from behind.
Ye Juetian turned slowly, and not far away stood a handsome man with a resemblance to him – he was Ye Chen, the third son of the Ye Family.
"Third Brother," Ye Juetian greeted with a bow. In the Ye Family, the order of seniority was highly respected, indicating the strict upbringing in the family.
"Don't stir up trouble outside. If you cause trouble, even the Ye Family won't be able to protect you," Ye Chen said in a low voice and then turned to leave.
Even so, Ye Juetian still bowed to bid farewell. After all, he was the youngest.
Ye Juetian breathed a sigh of relief and continued towards his mother's room.
When standing at the door of his mother's room, Ye Juetian hesitated again.
Should he tell his mother about this matter? If his mother hears that his big brother is still alive, she will surely be delighted. But his big brother doesn't even recognize him now. Wouldn't it make his mother even more heartbroken?
"Little Tian? Is it you?" A weak voice came from inside the room.
Ye Juetian exhaled softly, put on a smile on his face, and pushed the door open.
Inside the room, there was a woman dressed plainly, but even so, she couldn't hide her natural beauty.
The fact that both Ye Hua and Ye Juetian turned out so handsome was entirely due to their mother's credit. Indeed, strong genes could produce such outstanding children.
In the room, there were also altars dedicated to spirits, and Ye Juetian could tell that his mother had just finished praying.
But now, he felt that such prayers were useless. Big brother doesn't even want to come back to see you!
"Xiao Little, come and sit." Yue Jing beckoned with a kind smile.
Many years ago, Yue Jing was also a famous beauty in the Spirit City, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Countless men fell under her charm. However, since her son went missing, wrinkles had increased on her face, and more and more white hairs appeared at her temples, losing the beauty of the past.
It was known that gods had an ageless appearance, making Yue Jing's situation surprising. However, Yue Jing had no intention of changing.
Underneath all this, a fierce illness was hidden, requiring a drop of Spirit Spring water every day to sustain her life.
Seeing his mother in this condition, Ye Juetian felt uncomfortable. His father used to cherish his mother the most. However, as his mother's yearning for his big brother grew, his visits became less frequent. Even the Spirit Spring water his mother used sometimes required his personal request to his father. This had been the way of life for a thousand years.
Ye Juetian sat beside his mother, and Yue Jing looked at him, as if she saw her Ye Hua in him. Only at such moments did she have the motivation to keep waiting.
"Little Tian, what happened today? Why do you look so unhappy?" Yue Jing held her son's hand and asked with concern.
Feeling the coldness in his mother's palm, Ye Juetian furrowed his brows. "Mother, have you taken your medicine?"
"Yes, I have," Yue Jing said softly, her gentle smile seeming to reassure her son not to worry about her.
Ye Juetian looked towards the golden jade bottle beside him.
Don't be fooled by its small size; this is an extraordinary ancient artifact – the Cyan Yuan Vessel! It's a tiny object that can preserve Spirit Spring's medicinal properties.
The Spirit Spring needs the Cyan Yuan Vessel to contain it; using anything else would be utterly useless.
After all, the Spirit Spring is extremely rare, only accessible to the royal family. And since his mother needs a drop every day, any interruption could pose a threat to her life.
