857 14.133 Last Violet Star – (Past) Peaceful Days

Bai Wuan and Yun Xiajie, the two of them returned to their usual peak and took a three-day break without inviting the visitors. Before his beloved had fully recovered from his exhaustion, Yun Xiajie shut down the peak and left him to rest for three days. However, due to the devil’s soul warring inside of his body, he continued to seem pale and his internal wounds were unending, much as his regeneration.

This morning Yun Huaxia, Bai Qiyin, Bai Lili, and Jin Shiyan visited to extend the invitation to Bai Wuan and Yun Xiajie for their Dao Ceremony. When the visitors came, the peak’s owners had just completed their breakfast. Bai Wuan served them some tea and snacks and they were welcome to come inside the house.

Bai Wuan asked with a joyous expression on his flawless face. “Welcome... Why did you guys come over so early in the morning?”

“Brother, Good Morning! He dropped by to send the invitation for our Dao Ceremony!” said Bai Qiyin with a proud expression.

“Good Morning Brother Wuan, Senior Brother Jieye!” greets Jin Shiyan.

Bai Lili who stood beside him also says, “A pleasant morning to Dear Elder Brother and Brother Jieye!”

“Good Morning to you two!” said Yun Huaxia.

In addition to greeting Bai Wuan, who was seated next to him, Bai Lili and the other two also acknowledged Yun Xiajie. With his elder brother’s chosen Dao Companion, Bai Qiyin doesn’t get along with this man, and he would purposely neglects the Second Young Master of the Lan Zhuayun Sect every time he came for his elder brother.

As he received the invitation that Bai Qiyin had sent him, Bai Wuan greeted everyone and said, “Good morning to everybody as well. Have the preparations for your Ceremonies been finished?”

.....

Bai Wuan was beaming with joy as he finished reading the letter. Finally, he could see his younger siblings with their chosen Dao companions, and this time, even without him to watch over them, Jin Shiyan and Yun Huaxia would be there to guard them. He seemed really happy and appreciative of the occasion.

“Good, a week from now, I see. I believe I have time to make your presents. Were the remaining invitations delivered to the other clans and sects?” Bai Wuan asked.

“Yes, everything has been arranged,” said Yun Huaxia, the First Young Master of the Yun Clan. “I actually came over to talk to Xiao Jie about some clan-related issues; may I borrow him for a little bit, A’Wuan?”

“I also had a lot to discuss with my siblings, so Elder Brother Yun, please go ahead,” remarked Bai Wuan.

Yun Huaxia glanced at Yun Xiajie who stood up wordlessly and followed his elder brother outside the house. The Yun Brothers found a quiet spot in the garden and started talking.

Yun Xiajie asked, “What is it, brother?”

“Xiao Jieye, did you ask what A’Wuan planned about the Devil inside his body? He doesn’t look good lately. He looks thinner and his qi is weaker than before. What are your plans for the future?” asked Yun Huaxia.

He asked this while observing his expressionless younger brother grimace at the inquiry.

He genuinely has no knowledge about the Devil race or the future preparations to eliminate such a threat. Only his father, uncle, and younger brother knew how to kill it. His father is already deceased, thus he was unable to ask him. His uncle was keeping a tight lip and wasn’t going to tell him anything. Asking his younger brother about it is his final chance to learn more about the demon race. But he wasn’t prepared for this apparent shift in expression. He had the unsettling impression that nothing is at all straightforward.

Yun Huaxia waited for his younger brother to speak on his own initiative rather than pressuring him. It took some time before Yun Xiajie gave him the information he sought, but after hearing it, the first young master of the Yun Clan determined it would be best if he remained completely unaware of it.

“Brother, the only way to kill a devil is to kill the vessel the devil’s soul possessed,” said Yun Xiajie.

Stunned, Yun Huaxia exclaims, “W-What!?”

The Second Young Master of the Lan Zhuayun Sect continues talking, “Jing’er, ask me to kill him after your Dao Ceremony. I’m so confused. Brother, I don’t want to do it.”

“...This...”

“But I promised Jing’er I would do it and I promised Father I wouldn’t hold back Jing’er. Just thinking about it, I feel like I’m about to go crazy. Brother, what should I do?” asked Yun Xiajie as he pleaded with his brother for an answer different from what he is destined to do.

However, Yun Huaxia is at a loss for what to do as his younger brother’s phrases keep playing in his head. He had no idea that this was the reason Bai Wuan refrained from killing the demon while he was still inside his father’s body. Since his father is mortal, destroying the devil inside him in his vessel meant also killing him. No, he is concerned about what would happen to Bai Wuan if the devil and his vessel were both dead.

“How about A’Wuan? Would he be really okay if he got killed together with the devil!?” asked Yun Huaxia.

Yun Xiajie answered, “He said that as an immortal he wouldn’t die at all. But his soul would ascend to where he originally came from.”f𝗿e𝗲𝘄𝚎𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫ℯl. c𝗼𝚖

“How about you? Can you ascend with him?” asked Yun Huaxia.

Yun Xiajie said, “Jing’er says I can go with him though... I’m unsure what is supposed to happen afterward. But I am willing to go with him otherwise.”

“Are you guys gonna ascend as soon as possible after the Dao Ceremony?” asked Yun Huaxia.

“This will depend on what Jing’er has decided,” stated Yun Xiajie.

Outside of the house, the two brothers discuss the sect in private. In the meantime, Bai Wuan was instructing Bai Qiyin on how to run the sect correctly in the living room. Even though he had studied with Yun Huaxia as an heir, Bai Wuan’s instruction was far more thorough. This is especially true for matters involving the unique constitution of their Sect. He gained from his older brother. Their newly added disciples can be taught cultivation techniques, which will help them advance in the cultivation stage and strength.

Additionally, he cautioned them about several taboos and vulnerabilities they should be aware of because not all disciples are born with Yin’s unique physique like their clan does. They would, at most, be capable of handling ice elements far more easily than individuals who had learned on their own. He had taught them many various types of spells and tactics that would significantly strengthen their sect.

All of this information and material was entrusted to Bai Qiyin’s care by Bai Wuan. He also taught them a few spells that they can only use and never share with anyone else from the Jin Tiangui Sect, with the exception of their offspring, so that Jin Shiyan and Bai Lili may become stronger.

After listening to his elder brother’s lectures for hours, Bai Qiyin was already feeling lightheaded.

Just hearing it for an hour is too much for him to process; there is too much to remember.

Bai Qiyin cries out, “B-Brother, enough! My head is hurting already!”

“If you had heeded Mother’s warnings and instructions, I wouldn’t have to repeat myself this time,” said Bai Wuan, “but as the Sect Master of our Bai Lengshui Sect you must grasp all I am telling you.”

Bai Qiyin responded, pouting and looking guilty at the same time, “But brother, I am not as brilliant as you. Seeing too many words makes me dizzy.”

“Get used to it young man! You would have to read at least a pile of reports per day. This is included in your responsibilities as the Sect Leader!” said Bai Wuan. “If you really can’t do it... then ask your Dao Companion to help you. Though that might just double your paperwork instead. It’s your choice.”

“Give up, Brother Yin. You can only live with that as long as you are the Sect Master. I’ve also endured similar things as an heir and had gotten accustomed to it. Didn’t you have the same training?” Jin Shiyan asked with a laugh.

“It was my brother who handled most of the labor. Brother and Lili are always there to support me,” said Bai Wuan.

“I and Dear Elder Brother received several reprimands for assisting you with your studies,” Bai Lili said, “Isn’t that because Erge wouldn’t be able to eat if we didn’t help?”

“I didn’t do that every day!”

“Yes, you only do it thrice a week instead.”

“Enough. Stop fighting. You guys should go. The brothers are almost finished with their chat. You still have some duties and obligations to fulfill for today,” sighed Bai Wuan as he had to stop his sibling from arguing.

Bai Lili and Bai Qiyin exclaimed, “All right, Brother (Dear Elder Brother)!”

Jin Shiyan showed respect for Bai Wuan by cupping his hands.

“Please take a rest, Brother Wuan. You don’t look good lately,” He said.

“Don’t worry. It’s just a lack of sleep. It’s nothing serious. You may come to see me here whenever you like; just make sure that your Dao Ceremony is prepared. I’ll give you a wonderful present on that day.”

Those remarks from Bai Wuan filled the hearts of the three people. After all, he never gives away something simple. The majority of his gifts were exceptional in these world artifacts, such as the amulet that Bai Qiyin and Bai Lili had, which was potent enough to stave off an attack from a True Immortal.

Yun Huaxia who had returned at this moment was also anticipating the gift Bai Wuan would give away and said, “I’m also waiting for the present A’Wuan would give us. But it’s time to go, everyone...”

“No other choice,” Bai Qiyin looked at his elder brother and said, “Gege, please rest well...”

“Um. I will.”

After some time, Yun Huaxia carried the rest with him as he descended from Yun Xiajie’s mountain peak. Bai Wuan requested his lover to take a seat next to him after the visitors had departed.

“A’Xia, please sit beside me. I have something to say.”

Yun Xiajie retreated to his side and sat down. Even more, he drew his beloved into a lap, embraced him, and had him sit there. He enjoyed the sweet and minty aroma of his beloved’s natural scent and said softly, “I’m listening.” He had been hooked on this fragrance his entire life.

“After the Dao Ceremony of our siblings, I plan to stay in the mortal world with you for a while. However, it would cause Father Yun to remain in the Underworld for a little longer. His revival can only be approved if I ascend back to the Upper Realm. Is it okay for me to stay here for a little longer, A’Xia?” Bai Wuan played with his lover’s fingers while speaking.

As usual, his tone is sweet and kind, but this time, Bai Wuan’s voice has a slight uneasiness to it. On the other hand, Yun Xiajie was unprepared. He couldn’t answer his lover’s question since he was at a loss for words. As this was the first time he heard his lover telling him that he wanted to stay in the mortal world with him.

Bai Wuan asked, “I can’t?”

“You can. Of course, you can. If possible just don’t leave at all and stay by my side forever,” Yun Xiajie remarked.

Bai Wuan wished to avoid going back to the Upper Realm at all costs. All he wanted was to be at his husband’s side during the remainder of their time in this world.

“Thank you, A’Xia,” said Bai Wuan as he was incredibly happy with what his beloved had said. Tragically, the dream is completely unattainable. “I also want to stay here but... You know that I can’t. But I promise after this trial, I shall descend once again. At that time, I promise I will stay by your side until the end.”

“These words... You cannot take it back!” said Yun Xiajie.

“Of course!”
