Chapter 2711

"Since it is my master's order, Qinghe will go with you," Qingyun said with a smile.

"Qinghe, come. Tell Great-Granduncle where you have been these past few years," Qingshan said, looking at Qinghe. The joy in his eyes had not faded at all.

Qinghe glanced at Qingyun. Qingyun nodded slightly. Qinghe smiled. "Okay. I will go with Great-Granduncle. We can talk while we walk."

"Let's go. Come home with Great-Granduncle." Qingshan pulled Qinghe and walked away, his eyes full of happiness.

After Qingshan and Qinghe left, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan stepped out. Qingyun bowed to Zhu Yanyi and the others. "Master, why did you decide to let Qinghe go with Great-Granduncle?"

"Your Great-Granduncle’s forehead shows signs of death energy. This is a sign he wants to destroy everything, even himself. He likely feels that without you, he no longer wishes to live. Sending Qinghe along is mainly to dispel that shadow of death in his heart. Of course, it also serves to stir up the snake in the grass."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Yanyi’s lips. "You are my disciple. Although you do not hold a grudge against the Qing family and have no intention of causing actual trouble, the fact that my disciple suffered is real. Since my disciple was wronged, I must find a place to vent my anger. The Qing family dared to hurt you, so I will make them pay the price they deserve."

Qingyun understood that her own mindset had improved, but this did not mean Zhu Yanyi would let the Qing family off. Protecting one’s own was always the style of the Yan family.

Therefore, no matter what, never argue with someone who protects their own, especially a god who does so. You never know what the final result will be.

Qingyun pondered for a moment. "I remember in my past life, when I returned for revenge, my Great-Granduncle was already dead. At that time, I was filled with hatred and did not investigate why he died. Now it seems he likely went to fight the Qing family with the intention of dying."

She paused. "Actually, there should have been a slim chance of survival. But because there was a traitor nearby, my Great-Granduncle was in danger."

Zhu Yanyi listened and thought for a moment before saying, "It is likely so. However, since your Grandmaster and I control the life and death of beings across all planes, do not worry. She will not die unjustly."

"Thank you, Master." Qingyun now knew the origins of her master, grandmaster, and all her senior uncles and aunts. Their origins were terrifying. If she had not experienced it herself, she would never have known that she and her siblings would have such a miraculous encounter.

Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly and accepted the thanks. "You are my disciple. Protecting our own is the style of the Yan family. You have not met your senior brothers and sisters yet. When you do, you will find that our lineage is generally very protective of its own."

Yan Aohan said, "Alright. I know you miss your disciples. After matters here are settled, we will visit the Immortal Realm to check on the Azure Sovereign Qingdi’s sect."

"En." Zhu Yanyi nodded.

Qingyun looked at Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi, who supported each other through thick and thin, her eyes full of envy.

"Are you envious, girl?" The Immortal Emperor and Empress appeared.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle Immortal, Senior Aunt Immortal." Qingyun now knew how to address them separately.

"No need for formalities," the Immortal Emperor said. "You have not answered me yet. Are you envious of your master and mistress?"

"En. I am quite envious," Qingyun said seriously. "But I believe I will find my own happiness in the future."

"Your personality pleases me," the Immortal Empress said. "You are right. Everyone has their own happiness. You will have yours too."

Qingyun smiled and nodded. "Thinking about it now, I feel my past life was a joke. A joke of looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. I thought becoming a Spirit Venerable made me a master. Not only did I die in the end, surrounded by several Spirit Venerables and Martial Venerables hired by the Hong family, but even if I had survived, I was still inferior to who I am now. I am already in the middle stage of Qi Condensation. Even top-tier Spirit Venerables and Martial Venerables might not be able to defeat me."

The Immortal Empress smiled. "This is due to the spiritual energy of your plane.

The spiritual energy in your plane can only support you to what you call the Spirit Venerable and Martial Venerable stages. In truth, it is merely successful Qi Condensation.

You are different from them. You are the disciple of the God of Medicine and will be the disciple of the Emperor of Medicine. By this calculation, people like them are not worth your attention. After matters here are resolved, go to other worlds to train. Perhaps you will find a partner who can keep pace with you."

The Immortal Empress added, "If you cannot find one, I will introduce you to someone later."

Qingyun blinked her eyes. "Ah? But she must treat me with wholehearted devotion. No divided loyalty. If I discover any disloyalty, I will snap off two taels of her flesh."

"Hahaha. Yes, yes, yes. That is exactly how it should be." The Emperor and Empress of the Dark Realm appeared. The one speaking was the Empress.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle Emperor, Senior Aunt Empress." Qingyun hurriedly bowed.

"No need for formalities, Qingyun," the Empress laughed. "But Senior Aunt likes what you just said. Men and women are equal. If a man does not cherish you properly, you cut off two taels of his flesh, then find another. Senior Aunt will help you judge him."

"You are just stirring up trouble," the Dark Emperor said helplessly, looking at his wife.

The Empress replied, "What do you mean stirring up trouble? I think this is a very good thing. Tell me, how is equality achieved in this world?

Not to mention ancient times, where men had multiple wives and concubines, causing women to kill each other. Even later, when people spoke of gender equality, some men were not satisfied with one wife at home and kept two or three on the side. Tell me, where is the equality?

One, two, or three men is not too many for them. Four, five, or six is still too few. They call it being romantic. Women do not need one, two, three, four, five, or six men. If a woman speaks to another man or comes home late from work occasionally, people say she has cheated. In truth, women have never had fairness in any era."

The Empress spoke seriously. "To be honest, I admire women who dare to cheat. To be honest, in my heart, if you cheated, I would do what Qingyun said: disable two taels of your flesh and then separate from you directly. I would not seek revenge within the marriage. Those women who dare to cheat, to be honest, are just seeking a kind of fairness."

"Yes," the Dark Emperor had to admit that although the Empress’s words sounded a bit absurd, they actually made sense. "Wife, since you cannot stand it, why not take in those men who hurt women?"
