Chapter 2454

Ouyang Tianyun knew that Zhu Yanyi and her husband had left for a matter. This had happened half a year ago, but she never expected them to be in the Demon Realm. A hint of surprise naturally appeared in her eyes.

The Immortal Emperor glanced at Ouyang Tianyun and said calmly, "You need not be curious. They went to the Demon Realm because the Demon Empress needs to settle a past-life emotional tie. It is also for her cultivation path. You are going for your own reasons. Your goals may differ, but the final result might bring unexpected joy. Therefore, now is the best time for you to go."

The Immortal Emperor spoke the truth, which confused Ouyang Tianyun slightly. "Adoptive Father, my ultimate purpose in going to the Demon Realm is to find my sister."

"I naturally know your ultimate purpose is to find your sister. But this does not prevent you from meeting the Demon Emperor and Demon Empress. Besides, it is undeniable that the Demon Emperor and Empress have been in the Demon Realm for some time. If you go, you will have a place to stay. Most importantly, even if you want to see your sister now, you cannot. You will only be able to meet her nine and a half years from now. So, going now is useless for that purpose.

I am telling you to go now to serve as an assistant to the Demon Empress."

The Immortal Emperor looked at his adopted son with a hint of disdain. "Why don't you understand?"

Ouyang Tianyun was slightly stunned. He had never thought about needing to understand anything.

"Adoptive Father, please speak clearly. Do not act mysterious. When you act mysterious, my heart goes up and down, making me very anxious." Ouyang Tianyun looked at him with an expression that said, Please just tell me clearly.

The Immortal Emperor was slightly stunned. "Who told you I was acting mysterious? What do you mean by 'acting mysterious'? Even if I were acting mysterious, why would I tell you the truth after being mysterious?"

"If you don't tell me, I will ask you," Ouyang Tianyun said seriously.

The Immortal Emperor was stunned again. "Who taught you to be so shameless?" The Immortal Emperor was very curious. At least, he remembered that the previous Ouyang Tianyun was definitely not like this.

Ouyang Tianyun smiled and said, "I learned it from my junior sister Yanyi. She once said, 'If you don't understand, ask. Don't pretend to understand.' Also, if you don't ask, others might just be acting mysterious. So, since I don't understand the meaning of your words, it is better to ask you directly."

The Immortal Emperor understood. This was trouble left behind by Zhu Yanyi. She looked at Ouyang Tianyun and said, "For this kind of answer, you must find it yourself. If you really find searching troublesome, go find your junior sister Yanyi. She knows."

Ouyang Tianyun looked at the Immortal Emperor with some suspicion, but finally nodded. "Alright then. I will pack now and go to the Demon Realm tomorrow."

Yan Aohan received the message from the Immortal Emperor. He snorted, then said to Zhu Yanyi, "The Immortal Emperor has sent Ouyang Tianyun over."

Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. "Senior Brother Tianyun?" Then she said, "Didn't they say there are still ten years? No, accurately speaking, there are still nine and a half years before she can see her sister?"

"The Immortal Emperor said that he should meet Ling Shu at that time. But that does not include recognizing you," Yan Aohan added from the side. "Tell me, if you recognize him, should I recognize this brother-in-law?"

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "It doesn't matter. In my heart, Senior Brother Tianyun has always been like a senior brother and an older brother. Whether there is a blood relation or not is not important.

Besides, although I have seen past-life matters in the Reincarnation Pool, it did not make me feel involved. It felt more like I was a bystander. So, I think even if I recognize him as my brother, it will only change the title. The feelings will remain the same as before. After all, we no longer have a blood relation now."

It was not that Zhu Yanyi was realistic. The fact was indeed so. Zhu Yanyi still had sibling affection for Ouyang Tianyun, but this affection was like that between senior and junior martial siblings. There was nothing else. To call it flesh-and-blood亲情 (family love) would be a stretch.

"I think the Immortal Emperor wants Ouyang Tianyun to come and see you so that he understands this principle. Even if siblings meet again, the past is gone. Some things cannot be recovered. Thus, when Ling Shu is ready to reincarnate in ten years, this sadness can be lighter," Yan Aohan clearly understood why the Immortal Emperor did this.

"So the Immortal Emperor wants us to be psychological counselors. Should we ask the Immortal Emperor for compensation?" Zhu Yanyi responded casually, then said, "Do you think the Silver Fox's feelings for Ling Shu will reach the point of 'no one else but her'?"

"It is hard to say. To be honest, I can feel his feelings for Ling Shu, but whether it reaches the level of 'no one else but her' is really hard to say," Yan Aohan said helplessly.

Regarding other people's emotional issues, Yan Aohan felt no need to be too curious. However, since his wife was curious, he could only follow her curiosity and continue the topic.

Zhu Yanyi looked indifferent. "Although I have little impression of Ling Shu, she is technically my sister from two lives ago. If the Silver Fox treats people well, I don't mind helping. But if he doesn't, I think their emotional tie probably won't last long."

"It won't last long anyway," Yan Aohan said. "In ten years, life and death will be vast and unknown. This is the test for the Silver Fox.

If the Silver Fox must have Ling Shu, unless the demon fox ascends to a True God, he can use space-time voids to let time flow."

Yan Aohan sighed slightly. "If his feelings for Ling Shu are like mine for you, he will choose this. But if there is even a slight deviation, even if he becomes the Demon Emperor, he will never reunite with Ling Shu in the end."

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Aohan. "Aren't you afraid I will ask you, which is more important: the me of the past life or the me of this life?"

Yan Aohan pulled Zhu Yanyi into his embrace and said, "No matter which version of you, the main thing is that it is you. Your soul will never change, and that is what I want."

Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan. Her previous words were just small talk. Hearing Yan Aohan speak so seriously, she smiled. She rested her head on Yan Aohan's chest, listening to his heartbeat. "No matter what kind of words, at least one thing is true: our disasters have passed. Now that we can guard each other like this, I feel very happy."

"Yes, I feel very happy too," Yan Aohan hugged his wife tightly.

The couple had always interacted like this. So, at this moment, there was more warmth between them and harmony in all aspects, with no other feelings.
