"I've thought it over and over. We only came here because you have good tea. Come on, share some with us. Let us drink a pot of fine tea."
Ouyang Mingyue was speechless at Zhu Yanyi’s shameless attitude, but then she laughed. "If my wife saw you like this, she would be delighted."
"Your wife? The Immortal Empress?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously.
"Yes. My wife is Chai Yekuang. She is now a Peerless Emperor Venerable. But since she is my Immortal Empress, people usually call her that." Ouyang Mingyue’s eyes were full of warmth when she spoke of Chai Yekuang.
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow slightly. "It seems people with wives are different." She turned to Yan Aohan. "It seems you are different too, because you have me."
Yan Aohan laughed loudly and nodded seriously. "My wife is right. Having you makes me different."
The Ruthless Young Master looked at them, confused. "I really don’t understand. Is having a wife so proud?"
"That’s why people without wives never understand the happiness of having one," Yan Aohan sighed, speechless again at the Ruthless Young Master.
The Ruthless Young Master was still puzzled. He had never experienced love, so he truly did not understand what Yan Aohan was saying. Naturally, he could not refute it.
His heart felt complicated. He had always believed love was unnecessary. But now, it seemed this emotion was not useless. He realized he lacked this very feeling.
She frowned slightly. Although she lacked this entanglement, she did not want to be too tangled. So, she did not want to make a fuss about this emotion yet.
But seeing Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi so affectionate, she felt a bit wavering.
Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi did not care. Yan Aohan only whispered to Zhu Yanyi about things that happened after they separated.
Ouyang Mingyue saw them and missed his wife. He turned and saw the Ruthless Young Master’s thoughtful expression. He smiled slightly. "Do you think they are too sticky?"
The Ruthless Young Master did not deny it. He nodded slightly. "Too sticky. It’s as if they are afraid others don’t know they are husband and wife."
"That is because they care," Ouyang Mingyue looked at the Ruthless Young Master. "Only when you care do you fear loss. They are doing well. They trust each other. When apart, there is no suspicion. When together, they are calm. If ordinary couples lack trust, they will suspect each other. Once suspicion arises, the relationship shows bad signs."
Ouyang Mingyue looked at the Ruthless Young Master. "Trust is the most important thing between husband and wife. Unfortunately, you cultivate the Ruthless Path. Otherwise, you could try it."
"You make it sound like my Ruthless Path is shameful," the Ruthless Young Master smiled.
Ouyang Mingyue took out the tea set and began to brew tea. He handed the cup to the Ruthless Young Master, then said, "It is not that you cannot show your face. It is that you never believe in emotion. Of course, I do not blame you. You have always cultivated the Ruthless Path. Because of this, you think worldly emotions are useless to you. Actually, the Ruthless Path’s greatest pain is not having emotion, but lacking it. No matter how much I say, it is not as good as you experiencing it yourself. Honestly, I suggest you experience it once."
"Aren’t you trying to persuade me to seal my memories to taste emotion again?" the Ruthless Young Master asked Ouyang Mingyue.
"Why would I persuade you for no reason? I just want you to experience life here with your heart. Just like you want to be the Emperor’s teacher. First, you must understand why you teach him the Ruthless Path. How should you teach the Ruthless Art? What are the consequences? Have you thought about it?" Ouyang Mingyue looked at the Ruthless Young Master.
"You fear emotion yourself. Do you plan to make the Emperor cut off all emotion? If so, even if you save the current Dayu Dynasty, I think the Yu ancestors will not thank you."
The Ruthless Young Master naturally understood Ouyang Mingyue’s meaning. "I only teach the Emperor about being ruthless. I never thought of making him cut off all emotion. Not everyone can compare to me."
Ouyang Mingyue chuckled lightly. "Do you think your control over emotion is absolutely stronger than anyone else’s?"
The Ruthless Young Master looked at Ouyang Mingyue, confused. Ouyang Mingyue was too lazy to explain further. He just said, "Some things need to be felt with your heart. What I say now is not useless."
Yan Aohan glanced at Ouyang Mingyue’s side and said only to Zhu Yanyi, "Let’s go out for a walk."
"Okay." Zhu Yanyi looked around. She felt staying here was boring. It was better to go out for a walk.
Yan Aohan said to Ouyang Mingyue, "You take your time guiding him. We, as a couple, will go for a walk." This implied that they had little feeling for the Ruthless Young Master and did not want to guide him anymore.
Ouyang Mingyue waved his hand. "Go, go. It is useless for you to stay here anyway." He did not want to guide him either. But who made him an Immortal Emperor? An Immortal Emperor has the duty to teach all immortals.
Yan Aohan smiled lightly, held Zhu Yanyi’s hand, and walked out of the teahouse. They did not hurry in any specific direction. They just walked slowly on the street.
There were not many people on the street. Probably because the gloomy atmosphere was oppressive, even though shops were open, business was not good.
Zhu Yanyi looked at the situation and said to Yan Aohan, "It seems changing this place is not easy."
"Not really. Actually, you can purify this place. Once purified, people here will naturally have new hope for life," Yan Aohan said directly.
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "I know. But purification needs an opportunity. If I do it silently now, many people might still think it is the State Preceptor’s merit. I do not want to do work for others."
Yan Aohan agreed with this. This place was different from Huaxia. In Huaxia, because of the Yan family, no one dared to steal Zhu Yanyi’s merit. But here was different. This was a monarchy, and the imperial power was currently declining.
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Actually, the change of every dynasty is very common. The last emperor is not pitiful. But strangely, I have a thought. I want to end this last emperor’s fate."
Yan Aohan held Zhu Yanyi’s hand and walked slowly. As they walked, she said, "There is nothing strange. There are many reasons for a dynasty’s decline. The current Dayu Dynasty faces difficulties because of a curse from nine hundred years ago. Even I cannot stand it. A curse from a non-human should not make a dynasty pay with its life. That is thinking too much. Since that is the case, we cannot let this dynasty decline like this. So, helping is inevitable."
