Chapter 2182

"Of all the myriad laws of the Dao, if you trace them to their root, there is only one path: reaching the heavens." Yan Aohan looked at the Ruthless Young Master and said, "I don't believe the Immortal Emperor told you all this without mentioning that point."

"You are wronging me. I told him everything. But his way of thinking is different from ordinary people. It seems impossible to reason with him." The Immortal Emperor appeared on the flying vessel. He looked around, took out a cushion, and sat between Yan Aohan and the Ruthless Young Master. "Sometimes, if one cannot understand it oneself, no amount of effort from others will help."

Ouyang Mingyue looked helpless. She took out a tea set, brewed tea, and handed a cup to each person. Then she pointed at Zhu Yanyi. "Should we wake her up?"

"No need. She must be very tired these days. Let her sleep well," Yan Aohan said calmly. With his barrier in place, no outside sound could disturb her.

Ouyang Mingyue understood this act of loving his wife. He himself was a man who cherished his wife, so he fully agreed with Yan Aohan’s actions.

The Ruthless Young Master remained silent. He placed a chess piece, then watched Yan Aohan move. He tilted his head, seemingly pondering the meaning of Yan Aohan’s earlier words.

Yan Aohan also stayed silent. For a moment, a heavy silence filled the place.

After about five moves, the Ruthless Young Master spoke. "If you understand the profound mysteries of the Dao, why do you not go to the Chaos Abyss to train?"

"I am waiting for my wife," Yan Aohan said without hiding anything. "I plan to go with her." Although the time was uncertain, Yan Aohan had a feeling that Zhu Yanyi would not make him wait long.

Ouyang Mingyue understood this mindset very well. "I think this idea is truly good. Back then, I ventured into the Chaos Abyss with my wife. The Black Emperor and the Empress also went together. Only by venturing into the Chaos Abyss together can one share life and death afterwards."

"Is a wife really that important to you?"

The Ruthless Young Master truly did not understand the term 'wife'. In fact, he did not understand anything related to emotion. Not just wives, but also parents, brothers, and sisters. He did not understand anything involving feelings.

Yan Aohan raised an eyebrow slightly. "When I chose a reincarnated family for you, I specifically selected one with loving parents and united siblings. Don't tell me you didn't take it to heart?"

"I don't know. Actually, after my reincarnation, my parents treated me very well, and my siblings loved me too. But I felt they were a burden. So, when I was five, I used the appearance of being kidnapped as an excuse, staged a scene, and left. So, I really don't know what happened to them," the Ruthless Young Master said seriously.

She cultivated the Ruthless Dao, which meant she could never be bound by any emotion. Therefore, she had cut off some feelings very early.

Yan Aohan felt his brain was not enough. He looked at the Ruthless Young Master, sighed, and then summoned the Earth Book. He tapped it, and the book projected an image.

In the image, the parents, knowing their youngest son had been kidnapped, cried out in pain. They died longing for their missing son, not forgetting to instruct their other children to search for him. If they could not find him, they were to adopt one to continue the family line. Then they died. His siblings continued to search. Many fake Ruthless Young Masters appeared, but every time ended in disappointment. Finally, a brother adopted his own son under the Ruthless Young Master’s name, considering it a continuation of his lineage.

"How is this possible? I was just a child then. Without me, they had other children," the Ruthless Young Master said, seeing his parents close their eyes with regret and his siblings looking sorrowful.

"Life does not restart. So, everyone living will subconsciously cherish their current life. Your parents cherished their children very much. Even if you pretended to be foolish and understood nothing, in their hearts, you were their child, their flesh and blood. Their love for you did not decrease by a bit."

Yan Aohan looked at the Ruthless Young Master and said, "You owe that family a debt of blood ties. If you do not understand this karma, it is unlikely you can break through to become a god."

Yan Aohan’s expression was somewhat serious. This matter was hard to say, but this karma was caused by the Ruthless Young Master himself.

The Ruthless Young Master looked at Yan Aohan and asked, "Can I resolve this karma?" The parents and siblings of this body did not know where they had reincarnated. So, how could he resolve it? He could only look to Yan Aohan. After all, Yan Aohan was the Venerable Yanluo. If he could arrange it, perhaps he could resolve this karma.

Yan Aohan pondered for a moment and said, "Yes. I can use the Earth Book and the art of reincarnation to send you back to when you were five, thereby resolving this karma. But there is one condition: you must first learn to understand emotion. In your current state, even if I send you back, you will not be able to understand emotion."

Yan Aohan was not speaking nonsense, but the truth. After all, the Ruthless Young Master caused this situation precisely because he did not understand emotion.

Ouyang Mingyue looked at the Ruthless Young Master and said, "Actually, what is difficult about understanding emotion? I really don't understand why you hold on so stiffly, believing that feelings are useless."

"Actually, if emotion is used well, it is the most terrifying knife," Yan Aohan said, looking at the Ruthless Young Master. "It is more powerful than your Ruthless Art."

"Really?" The Ruthless Young Master frowned slightly. This seemed to overturn his understanding of emotion.

"Whether it is or not, you will know by trying," Yan Aohan said seriously. "Since you do not want to seal your memories, not sealing them is fine. As long as you slowly lower your mental defenses and listen to everyone's hearts with sincerity, you will gradually understand what emotion is."

Yan Aohan sighed as he spoke. "I now feel like an old nanny, having to worry about whether you understand emotion."

Just then, Zhu Yanyi moved. She rubbed her eyes and woke up. Seeing Zhu Yanyi awake, Yan Aohan hurried over, dissolved the barrier, and went to her side. "Awake?" His voice was particularly gentle.

"This sleep was so comfortable. I haven't slept this well for a long time." She sat up and saw Ouyang Mingyue and the Ruthless Young Master, slightly stunned. "Why have you two appeared again? Are you here to be third wheels?"

Ouyang Mingyue coughed. "Empress Yan, we are acquaintances, at least. You shouldn't speak so directly."

"My husband and I were having a private moment, and you appeared. If that isn't being a third wheel, what is? And a three-watt bulb, very bright." Zhu Yanyi said while making a funny face.

Yan Aohan took out clear water from the side and handed it to Zhu Yanyi. "Come, rinse your mouth and wash your face."
