150: Chapter 150 Severing the Mortal World 150: Chapter 150 Severing the Mortal World Ye Family grand courtyard.

At this moment, it was early morning, and the sounds of martial arts training echoed from within the Ye Family grand courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard, Ye Ping and Ye Ling’er were practicing against each other, surrounded by numerous martial artists for protection.

“Big brother, your Eagle Claw Hand is really impressive,” Ye Ling’er said with a smile.

“Little sister, stop flattering me.

You haven’t even used your Yuzhen Sword Technique yet.

Otherwise, how could your big brother stand a chance?” Ye Ping said with a wry smile.

“Ah, if only our eldest brother were here, with his martial arts skills, he’d definitely teach us a lot of impressive things,” Ye Ling’er sighed.

“Come on, little sister.

With our big brother’s peerless cultivation, he’s absolutely fine.

He will return to us sooner or later,” Ye Ping consoled her.

“Ling’er, it’s time to eat.”

Ye Family’s mother walked out from the inner hall, calling for her son and daughter, prompting the siblings to quickly step into the inner hall.

“Dad, Mom, Grandpa.”

As the siblings entered the inner hall, they greeted everyone one by one, bringing a pleased look to the faces of the seated Ye Family fathers and sons, who hurriedly invited the siblings to sit down and eat.

A year’s time was enough to change many things.

Clearly, the meticulous care by the Ye Family fathers and sons over the past year had brought about significant changes.

“Ah, if only Ye Xuan were here, our family would truly be reunited,” Ye Canghai lamented with a heavy heart.

At the mention of Ye Xuan, a touch of sorrow crossed the mother’s eyes, and Ye Canghao’s expression also grew complex, ending in a helpless sigh.

Breakfast continued, with luxurious and delicate food on the table and several servants attending.

“Ling’er, dear, you train hard every day and should eat more,” Ye Canghai said as he put a piece of fish into Ye Ling’er’s bowl, smiling dotingly.

“Thank you, Grandpa,” Ye Ling’er voiced obediently.

“Qiu Yun, you’re not in good health, you should eat more too,” Ye Canghai said softly, causing the mother to nod slightly without saying much.

The breakfast was spent amidst the warmth of family love, with occasional laughter filling the air.

“Ha!”

Suddenly!

A voice was heard, and two figures quietly appeared in the inner hall, causing the martial artists guarding the Ye Family courtyard to change their expressions.

“How bold, who dares to trespass into the Ye Family?” a dozen martial artists shouted, but before they could take any action, an exclamation from Ye Ling’er’s mouth rang out.

“Eldest brother?”

“Xuan…

Ye Xuan?”

“Ye Xuan?”

In the inner hall, the Ye Family fathers and sons stood up in surprise, and the mother and others showed excited expressions as they quickly walked toward Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s expression was calm as he silently observed the scene before him, a hint of self-mockery crossing his eyes.

“Mom, it looks like you have forgiven the Ye Family,” Ye Xuan said quietly.

Ye Xuan’s words took his mother by surprise.

She knew well what was on Ye Xuan’s mind, which made her expression extremely complex.

“Big brother, during this past year you weren’t at home, it was thanks to Grandpa and Dad’s care that Little Sister and Mother recovered so quickly.

Moreover, Grandpa and Dad have realized their wrongs, so let the past be the past,” Ye Ping said tremblingly, trying to comfort.

“The past?”

Ye Xuan looked deeply at his mother and spoke calmly, “Mom, do you remember?

Do you remember how much suffering you endured these past decade and more?

Do you really intend to forgive them, father and son?”

“Xuan’er, I…” Ye Xuan’s mother was at a loss for words, her expression complex.

After a good ten breaths, she managed a pained smile and said, “Xuan’er, I know you hold hatred in your heart, but Ling’er and Ping’er are still young, and Ye Canghao, after all, is their biological father, I…” She trailed off, unable to continue.

“Big brother, let’s just be a happy family and forget those unpleasant things,” Ye Ling’er interjected at the right moment.

“Shut up.”

Ye Xuan’s face suddenly turned icy as he shouted at Ye Ling’er, causing her to bite her lips and her eyes to well up with tears.

He had never lashed out at her before, which made him feel incredibly alien to her.

“Mom, do you remember?”

Ye Xuan took a deep breath and then let it out slowly, his voice growing ever calmer as he said, “When I was five, you were pulling me, carrying the little brother and sister, when we were kicked out of the Ye Family’s gates.

It was a blizzard that day, so cold the ground was frozen.

You told me then that we would never have anything to do with the Ye Family again.”

“When I was fourteen, stricken with an incurable disease, I lay on the sickbed, and it was this so-called Ye Canghao who sent someone with a letter, telling me to fend for myself.

You cried helplessly then, in utter despair.

Do you remember that?” Ye Xuan clenched his fists, yet he was smiling, but within that smile, there was nothing but bitterness.

“I…

I realize my mistake,” Ye Canghao said with a bitter face, his voice trembling.

Ye Canghai was stunned into silence; he had never imagined his son could have been so heartless back then.

This made him finally understand why Ye Xuan had never forgiven them, father and son.

Boom!

Suddenly!

As everyone watched in shock, Ye Xuan knelt and kowtowed three times to his mother, which left her staring blankly at him, tears slowly rolling down her cheeks as if she felt something extremely important slipping away from her.

“Mom, you gave birth to me, raised me; in this life, Ye Xuan can hardly repay you.

But today, your son must bid you farewell to seek the endless path to become an Immortal Dao.

From now on, perhaps we will never see each other again.

I am sorry for everything, my dear mother, and I kowtow to you here.”

Ye Xuan kowtowed eighteen times, then suddenly rose and looked calmly at the Ye Family father and son, saying, “As a son, I cannot stay by my mother’s side to fulfill a lifetime of filial duty, and this will be my greatest regret.

If I ever learn that you fail to care for my mother, Ye Xuan of the Ye Family, I will have no second thoughts about eradicating you from existence, so that your line will never find peace.”

After saying this, Ye Xuan deeply engraved his mother’s features into his mind, then abruptly turned around and strode towards the gate of the Ye Family estate.

“Xuan’er!”

Suddenly, the crying voice of his mother came from behind him, causing Ye Xuan’s footsteps to falter.

Yet he endured, not turning back, as a solitary and desolate voice came from his lips.

“Mom, I’m sorry, but I do not belong to this Mortal World.

I am truly off to pursue the path of the Immortal Dao.”

Ye Xuan’s figure receded into the distance, with Gu Beichen silently following behind until they vanished from the Ye Family courtyard, as if they had never been there at all!

…

The bustling city, the clamorous voices of people, but they still couldn’t drown out the thread of sorrow in Ye Xuan’s heart.

Actually, his mother and the others didn’t know that Ye Xuan’s return to the Ye Family that day was to take them back to Jiangnan.

Ye Xuan had already thought it through: as a son, he would fulfill a lifetime of filial duty, which was but a brief century – and he could wait for that.

However, when he saw the Ye Family father and son having a happy breakfast with his mother and little sister, he finally understood a truth.
