339: Chapter 338: The Life of Ordinary People (Twelfth Update) 339: Chapter 338: The Life of Ordinary People (Twelfth Update) Ye Xuan remained silent, only picking up the chicken leg again and placing it into the child’s bowl, looking at him with a tender gaze as he said, “Big Brother Li’s kind gesture is well received by Ye Xuan, but Han’er is growing, and eating some meat should be fine.”

Ye Xuan’s voice was firm and decisive, which left the couple no choice but to smile wryly.

Then, nodding subtly to the child, this prompted Li Han’er to beam with joy.

She immediately took the meat from the bowl and left the room, her young voice rising cheerily.

“Han’er has finished eating and will go back to the room to do homework now.

Big Brother and Mom and Dad, please take your time.”

This scene brought forth a smile from Ye Xuan.

Li Shan raised his cup once more, and the couple started the conversation with Ye Xuan again.

But upon the strong insistence of the couple that Ye Xuan, having just recovered from a serious illness, should eat more meat, Ye Xuan reluctantly finished the entire roast chicken.

The night was like water, the cold wind outside howled, and Li Shan was dead drunk.

The couple also returned to their room, leaving Ye Xuan alone, seated crossed-legged on the bed, feeling the odd emotions this family had brought him.

The night deepened, and all was quiet until Ye Xuan, like any mortal, eventually fell asleep.

However, a strange noise suddenly came from outside.

Although soft, it fully reached his ears.

Ye Xuan opened his eyes, got out of bed, and when he pushed open the room’s door, he was stunned by the scene before him and stood motionless for a long time.

Near the stove, Li Han’er was crying ‘woo woo’, and on the ground, there were shattered porcelain bowl fragments scattered around, the child’s little hand was cut by the pieces, blood flowing profusely, causing one’s heart to tremble at the sight.

Li Han’er’s crying was not because of the injury to her palm; she stared blankly at the chicken leg on the ground covered in dust, her voice choked with sobs.

The bleeding palm picked up the chicken leg, trying to wipe the dust off it with her sleeve.

But the dirtier the chicken leg became as the child wiped, causing her to collapse on the ground, unable to hold back the crying that erupted from her.

At that moment!

Ye Xuan’s soul was frozen; he slowly walked over to Li Han’er, his profound eyes meeting the child’s as he said, “Han’er, don’t cry.”

Ye Xuan’s appearance made Li Han’er bite her lips tightly, seemingly finding someone to confide in, her sobbing voice now echoing in Ye Xuan’s ears.

“Han…

Han’er just wanted to save the chicken leg for Mother…

Mother…

Mother is frail and has been ill…

it has been a long time since she’s had meat…” The child’s voice was extremely choked up, and he began to cry uncontrollably.

Time seemed to stand still; the air felt as if it had frozen.

Ye Xuan stood there, his gaze fixed on the chicken leg in the child’s hand, becoming utterly silent.

His breath, however, grew labored in that moment.

An unprecedented sorrow rose in Ye Xuan’s heart, a feeling that sprung up without his realization.

He simply stared dumbly at the child before him as his frozen heart was greatly touched, an indescribable sentiment that left him speechless and unable to express.

“You’ve seen a funny side of us, Brother Ye.”

A soft female voice sounded behind Ye Xuan.

Unbeknownst to him, the child’s mother had appeared; she brought a cloth and carefully bandaged the child’s wounded palm, her gaze toward the child shining with the unique, tender brilliance of motherly love.

“Mother…

I’m sorry…” The child clutched the chicken leg tightly, his voice filled with sobs.

“Mother understands Han’er’s intention, but this chicken leg is dirty now, let’s not keep it, shall we?” The child’s mother spoke softly, comforting Li Han’er steadily, while also casting a regretful glance at Ye Xuan.

“But…

but…

this is the chicken leg Big Brother gave to Han’er…

I wanted to save it for Mother…”

“The food’s dirty and can’t be eaten anymore; your filial piety is understood by mother,” the mother said gently.

“When you grow up, will you buy delicious things for mom every day?”

The sight before him made Ye Xuan take a slow breath.

His fists clenched tightly before he walked over to the mother and child.

Amidst their surprised gazes, he took the chicken leg from the child’s hand and slowly brought the dust-covered chicken leg to his mouth.

“Brother Ye, you…” The child’s mother exclaimed in shock at this sight.

Bite after bite, Ye Xuan chewed and swallowed the chicken leg, but it seemed he was not simply eating a chicken leg—he was, in some way, consuming life itself, with all the joys, sorrows, and genuine warmth of Li Han’er’s deeply felt emotions.

When he finished eating the chicken leg, Ye Xuan gently stroked the child’s hair and said in a low voice, “Han’er, that was the best delicacy your big brother has ever eaten.”

Times change, and the world transforms, Ye Xuan settled down in Qingtian Town.

Ye Xuan opened a private school in Qingtian Town, becoming a schoolmaster, and Li Han’er was his first student.

As time went by, many parents in the town sent their children to his school, paying tuition with some meat, vegetables, and lengths of rough cloth.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Where there are people, there is Jianghu, and where there is Jianghu, there are grievances; this saying is even more fitting among Cultivators.

In the decade that followed, the outside world underwent earth-shattering changes: a million Cultivators perished in the void, the Cultivation Alliance became history, and many Sects rose to prominence, aggressively recruiting disciples and attacking each other, all striving to rise up in the Human World.

From time to time, passing Cultivators would stop by Qingtian Town and share tales of the outside world, inspiring awe and yearning in the hearts of the ordinary townsfolk, who would kneel and worship them.

Ten years!

Neither long nor short, Ye Xuan had not appeared in the world for twenty years, and while people like Fatty Huang were still searching for his whereabouts, the rest of the world gradually began to forget he ever existed.

Vast and boundless, with the skies so high and earth so wide, when one power crumbles, it is natural for another to take its place.

In the long river of history, there has never been a shortage of stunningly talented individuals.

With the power to move mountains and fill seas, shatter the rivers and the mountains, numerous exceptionally gifted individuals emerged left and right, and major Cultivation Sects rose to power in the Human World.

They fought against each other, each simply wishing to become the foremost Daoist power in the Human World and take the place of the former Cultivation Alliance.

However, the name of Ye Xuan had vanished from the world, and with it, many hotly debated topics among the populace.

As the Cultivation Alliance fell, the major Sects remained cautious, dreading the return of the Netherworld to replace what the Alliance had lost, but as twenty years passed, the Netherworld did not reemerge, nor did Ye Xuan reappear before the eyes of the world.

In truth, even though Ye Xuan had disappeared from the Human World, Fatty Huang could have rebuilt the Netherworld and dominated the entire Human World, but he followed Ye Xuan’s instructions: since the Netherworld no longer existed, there was no need for it to reappear in the Human World.

The world eventually concluded that Ye Xuan was a true Immortal, one who would not care about such worldly Cultivation Resources; perhaps he had already returned to the legendary Immortal Realm.

This rumor spread far and wide, causing the major Cultivation Sects to lay aside their wariness of Ye Xuan, beginning to battle among themselves, each wanting to rise as the leading Daoist power in the Human World.
