Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1738: Knowing the truth

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The Skyair Palace Lord’s expression turned ice cold. “So my guess was right.”

He wanted to know what is the exact relationship between Qin Wentian and Beiming Youhuang because he was worried that there was some unclear relations between the two of them. After all, it was usual for apprentice siblings to be close, and he assumed that was the reason why Qin Wentian domineeringly brought Beiming Youhuang away. But even so, he wanted to make sure.

However, reality was far worse than he had imagined. Qin Wentian and Beiming Youhuang actually weren’t apprentice siblings. In that case, the Skyair Palace Lord could only imagine that there was only that kind of relationship between them and they even hid this from his master. If his master the Lifelong Realmlord announced that Beiming Youhuang was his woman in the Lifelong Banquet that would be held soon, wouldn’t he be considered wearing the old broken shoes of Qin Wentian? His master would surely lose a great deal of face.

“What a slut, she actually dared to lie to Master, giving herself to Master to secure the future of her man Qin Wentian.” The Skyair Palace Lord silently mused, his eyes flashing with killing intent. He immediately speculated about the vilest things with regards to the relationship between Qin Wentian and Beiming Youhuang because he hoped that this was true in his heart. In that case, his Master would definitely not spare this adulterous couple due to his rage.

“The two of them, are they a couple?” The Skyair Palace Lord stared at the immortal emperor in front of him as he coldly asked. Both the Xuanyuan Palace Lord and Dragonsaddle Palace Lord were here as well. It was better to make sure things were clear now or Qin Wentian and Beiming Youhuang might find some excuses for themselves when the time comes.

“I’m not very clear about that, but there are some rumors in Azure Mystic regarding the Heaven Empyrean. Back then, it was only because he was acquainted with Beiming Youhuang’s sister, Beiming Nongyue, which led to him eventually being acquainted with Beiming Youhuang and the Darknorth Immortal Emperor. It was said that he attended a banquet in the Darknorth Immortal Palace then and had contended against Pei Qing, a character who was the supreme genius of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty in the past. The rumors stated that at that time, Pei Qing had no one in his eyes and could dominate the Heaven Empyrean, the reason for Pei Qing’s dislike was because he was wooing Beiming Youhuang and Beiming Youhuang and Qin Wentian had a relationship too close for his liking. In any case, Pei Qing eventually died and he became somewhat of a joke, a minor character in a part of the Heaven Empyrean’s legendary story. I only know so much, I don’t know if this information is able to allow Senior to obtain anything as there are still many things in the story I’m not too clear about.”

That immortal emperor honestly replied. These were all legendary stories that circulated around Azure Mystic after Qin Wentian became the Heaven Empyrean. The grudge between Pei Qing and Qin Wentian became a story where a stronger senior bullied the younger one in the past but was eventually surpassed. Naturally, it became a story where everyone enthusiastically discussed.

Naturally, other than this, there were also stories about other ‘flowers’ around the Heaven Empyrean. It was said that other than his relationships being very good with his two wives, there were actually many other women around the Heaven Empyrean. These women all followed him willingly, not asking for any official status simply because Qin Wentian was too outstanding. In fact, there were some rumors that said that even the Southern Phoenix Matriarch herself had fallen in love with the Heaven Empyrean.

However, this was just a story embellished by others to satisfy the hunting of novelty in the hearts of the crowd. A majority of the people didn’t believe it. The Heaven Empyrean was a supreme character and the Southern Phoenix Matriarch was one too. However, the relationship between them remained one of elder and junior, although it was true that Qin Wentian had a very good relationship with the holy successor of the Southern Phoenix Clan, Nanfeng Yunxi.

“You can go.” The Skyair Palace Lord waved his hand. He had already found what he wanted to hear.

“Yes.” That immortal emperor left. After that, the expression of the Skyair Palace Lord turned cold. He spoke to the Xuanyuan Palace Lord and Dragonsaddle Palace Lord, “You two have also heard it, right. Seems like Qin Wentian and Beiming Youhuang had always pretended to be apprentice siblings but in reality, they actually are an adulterous couple. They actually dared to lie to their superior and hide things from those below them. They must be killed for daring to have such thoughts.”

The gazes of the two palace lords flashed with a strange light, feeling somewhat startled by the relationship between Qin Wentian and Beiming Youhuang. But even so, even if they were a couple, it should have nothing to do with the Skyair Palace Lord, right? Why would he need to intentionally question an immortal emperor here and why did he seem so angry?

Could it be that there’s something the two of them didn’t know?

“Let’s return first. I will report this matter to my master now.” The Skyair Palace Lord icily spoke. The group of them then flew off with great speed, leaving the area.

Qin Wentian and Beiming Youhuang who was still in Ancient Azure Mystic completely had no idea about this. They also didn’t know that the Skyair Palace Lord had already imagined them to be extremely vile and despicable.

Qin Wentian was still considering to obey the Lifelord Realmlord’s order or not. He initially wanted to continue cultivating here for a period of time as this was an extremely rare opportunity. It was unlikely for him to find such good cultivation conditions in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. This place has many secret realms and divine depositories, his comprehension of a single year far surpassed many years of comprehension outside in comparison. This would greatly aid him in his future path of cultivation, smoothing the way for him to reach the world overlord ream.

However, he couldn’t help to consider the consequences if he didn’t go back. Today, just when Beiming Youhuang was cultivating, a voice suddenly rang out in her mind, disrupting her.

“Youhuang.” The voice of the Lifelong Realmlord rang out, causing a strange light to appear in Beiming Youhuang’s eyes as she frowned slightly. Clearly, she wasn’t really fond of the Lifelong Realmlord. This man had a lofty status but was actually extremely scheming and could be considered someone exceptionally sinister. Back then, he had a face full of smiles when he granted Ye Qianyu amnesty but he actually locked her in soft-imprisonment inside the Lifelong Sainthall, frequently asking her to dance for him to admire. Wasn’t this a kind of humiliation to Ye Qianyu? He asked her to do that simply to satisfy some of the dark thoughts in his heart.

And right now, she already understood why the Lifelong Realmlord wanted her. The Lifelong Realmlord suspected that they were World Overlord Yi’s disciples. In that case, it seems like if it wasn’t for the Lifelong Realmlord having some trepidation in his heart towards World Overlord Yi and didn’t want to make things too difficult for Qin Wentian, he might really have acted out his desires towards Ye Qianyu.

“Realmlord.” Beiming Youhuang took out her messaging crystal and calmly replied.

“You’ve been out for so many years. I heard that you are now together with Qin Wentian, did you already completely forget about me?” The Lifelong Realmlord coldly asked, his tone filled with unhappiness.

“Youhuang doesn’t dare to.” Beiming Youhuang spoke.

“Hmph, I told my disciple to take care of you but you chose to leave with Qin Wentian, ignoring my kind intentions. What if you encountered danger? Don’t forget that the date of the next Lifelong Banquet will soon arrive and at that time, I will announce the relationship between us.” The Lifelong Realmlord spoke. Actually, he had already received the report from his disciple, the Skyair Palace Lord but he didn’t divulge anything and intentionally acted like he still didn’t know.

When she heard the Realmlord saying that he would announce their relationship, for some unknown reasons, she who had originally thought that she had accepted this, suddenly felt conflict in her heart. She didn’t know what to do, but she truly loathed the fact of what she promised him back then.

Hence, she didn’t reply instantaneously. Right now, she had no way to see the Lifelong Realmlord’s expression, she didn’t know that her silence had caused the Lifelong Realmlord’s countenance to darken. So, everything his disciple had reported was real. Seems like she was truly leading a carefree life with her lover in the lower world, and who knows, she might have already been intimate with Qin Wentian before. Or maybe, Qin Wentian was now just beside her. When he thought of this, the Lifelong Realmlord’s face became extremely sinister as the atmosphere around him became extremely tense.

“Youhuang, come back quickly, I’ve already arranged everything. Once you and Qin Wentian return, I’ll get those people in the Lifire Palace to prepare for this. I’m preparing to first fetch Ye Qianyu over to the Lifelong Sainthall and make her the one in charge of preparing for our wedding. For now, I won’t inform Qin Wentian about this, help me pass on the message to him.” The Lifelong Realmlord calmly spoke. After that, he terminated the connection.

At this moment, a look of anger flashed in Beiming Youhuang’s eyes. What did he mean by that.

Although Ye Qianyu wasn’t married to Qin Wentian yet, the Lifelong Realmlord clearly knew that she was already Qin Wentian’s woman. Yet now, the Lifelong Realmlord wanted to fetch her over to the Lifelong Sainthall for her to help with their wedding preparations? Was this true? Or was he going to use Ye Qianyu as a hostage to threaten her and Qin Wentian?

When she thought of this, Beiming Youhuang only felt that the Lifelong Realmlord was simply a sinister individual. Did she really want to be married to such a person? The conflict in her heart grew even stronger.

Other than this, she also felt a sense of unease.

What should she do now?

Should she inform Qin Wentian about this matter?

She had been hiding what she promised the Realmlord from Qin Wentian all this while. But now, the Lifelong Realmlord was actually planning to take Ye Qianyu was a hostage. No matter what, she had to inform Qin Wentian about Ye Qianyu’s situation or there would be no difference between her and the Realmlord.

At this moment, Beiming Youhuang felt somewhat helpless. She didn’t keep her messaging crystal. She sent a strand of her immortal sense in and said, “Are you here?”

“Youhuang, what’s the matter?” Qin Wentian’s voice drifted over. This caused Beiming Youhuang to understand that Qin Wentian definitely had no idea about Ye Qianyu’s matter yet.

“Come and look for me. I will tell you personally, this is extremely important.” Beiming Youhuang spoke. She couldn’t hide this matter any longer.

After some time, Qin Wentian found Beiming Youhuang. After she saw Qin Wentian, her ruby lips trembled slightly, she didn’t know how she should start.

“What happened?” Qin Wentian involuntarily asked when he saw Beiming Youhuang wanting to say something yet she was clearly hesitating. Beiming Youhuang’s personality was somewhat colder, belonging to the type of an ice princess. If it wasn’t something important, she definitely wouldn’t have taken the initiative to contact him.

“Earlier, Realmlord contacted me.” Beiming Youhuang spoke in a low voice.

Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed, “Is it about the matter of returning to the Lifelong Realm? He has also contacted me earlier, telling me to return for the Lifelong Banquet.”

When she heard his words, Beiming Youhuang’s beautiful eyes stared at her, “And, what else?”

“What else?” Qin Wentian started, “He didn’t really tell me much, it’s just that his attitude was extremely tyrannical, commanding me to return directly.”

Beiming Youhuang stared at him, while sighing in her heart. She then softly spoke, “For all this while, I’ve been hiding something from you.”

“What is it?” Qin Wentian could sense the Beiming Youhuang seemed to be struggling.

“I once promised the Lifelong Realmlord to be his woman. This news will be announced in the next Lifelong Banquet.” Beiming Youhuang’s beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian’s heart trembled as he was stunned for a moment. He stared at Beiming Youhuang, “Youhuang, is there something behind this that I need to know?”

After Beiming Youhuang saw Qin Wentian’s startled look and the fact that he asked her if there was something hidden behind this, she felt a sense of consolation in her heart. She continued in a low voice. “That year after you killed the Lifire Palace Lord, the Lifelong Realmlord was considering who to give the new position to. He would allow you to take the position of the Lifire Palace Lord but at the same time, he also asked me if I was willing to be his woman.”

Qin Wentian’s heart pounded violently as an extremely cold light flickered in his eyes. Right now, his heart was in chaos. So it turned out that there was such a story behind him eventually becoming the Lifire Palace Lord?

In that case, doesn’t this mean that he could become the Lifire Palace Lord only because of Beiming Youhuang’s sacrifice? It was the same for Ye Qianyu’s freedom too?

He once felt gratitude towards the Lifelong Realmlord and did his best as the Lifire Palace Lord. However, never in his wildest dreams would he have expected that there was such a shameless side to the Lifelong Realmlord!

After calming his emotions, Qin Wentian glanced at Beiming Youhuang who had her head lower. A feeling of warmth appeared in his heart, he then softly spoke, “Silly lass.”

Back then even if he didn’t become the Lifire Palace Lord, this position would have most probably went to Di Tian!
