Martial Peak

Chapter 6057, Wives Council

Author: Silavin

While Yang Kai and Mo Na Ye were busy catching up, Su Yan had already brought her kids out of the Profound Source Gate, and back to the World Tree. Naturally, she sent her regards to Zhang Ruo Xi and the two Seniors, Sun’s Burning Light and Moon’s Serene Glimmer. All three were naturally glad to see that the children were safe upon their return. 

Zhang Ruo Xi naturally had questions about the state of the world behind the Profound Source Gate, but Su Yan just redirected her to ask Yang Kai instead, as he was certainly much more knowledgeable about such matters, and the twins were merely being dragged around by the circumstances there. 

Still, Zhang Ruo Xi was actually glad to not see Little Eleven with them, since that indicated that he had accomplished his goal. Though she still had to remain here, not just to keep Sun’s Burning Light and Moon’s Serene Glimmer company, but also as a guard; the post was not as vital as before. After all, with Little Eleven guarding what was behind the Profound Source Gate, she need not always be here.

They certainly could not move Sun’s Burning Light and Moon’s Serene Glimmer’s True Bodies out of this region as it was far too big, but with Zhang Ruo Xi, she would be able to help safely bring their consciousness around to explore the 3,000 Worlds.

As for the World Tree, the old wizened face clearly showed relief. However, in front of the World Tree were two familiar figures, drinking.

These two figures were a Human and a Black Panther. 

Naturally, they were Fang Tian Ci and Thunder Shadow.

Even after drinking for quite a few days, they still remained sober, and immediately identified the three that had just been transported here.

Fang Tian Ci was the first one to ask, “So, it’s done?”

Su Yan just gave a small nod and did not say a word. She looked at the World Tree, as though asking it to transport them away. However, without words, just from her eyes alone, the World Tree seem to already know of the location.

The World Tree gave a sigh and with a wave of its branch, the three had been transported away.

*Haaa…* Unexpectedly, the one who first broke the silence was Thunder Shadow. His sigh was heavy and he drank another gulp of alcohol.

Though he was happy the twins had returned safe without harm, seeing as Little Eleven had not returned with them was a huge sign that he would no longer be joining them. Thunder Shadow could not help but feel that the small hut within their Forbidden Area would remain empty from now on. It was a melancholic feeling. He was glad that Little Eleven had moved on to take his next step in life, but also a bit reluctant as a good old friend would no longer be around.

Fang Tian Ci shared the sentiment. Though they were tasked to keep watch of Little Eleven at the start, they were by no means enemies. In fact, they could be considered to be Fellow Brothers after spending such a long time together.

However, with the person they had to keep watch over was gone, they themselves would have to start on their new journey as well.

Naturally, everyone knew that Little Eleven was not dead. But, they would not be able to see him in the foreseeable future for a long time. From now on, after this, Fang Tian Ci and Thunder Shadow would step ahead and travel out past the 3,000 Worlds. They would be the forerunner, exploring the unknown before Yang Kai.

Right now, this drinking session also marked the last time the two Brothers could see each other in a long while. Who knows? This might really be their last time seeing each other.

Although they could choose to travel together, which would be safer, they much prefer to cover more ground by independently moving. Besides, this was a way for them to return to being independent after thousands of years.

They naturally promised each other that they would reunite after every hundred years, using the World Tree Saplings. By then, the one with fewer tales to tell would be the one providing the drinks!

Now, the final one they were waiting for was their Eldest Brother. Once he came and bid them farewell, they planned to leave.

The place where the World Tree had transported Su Yan and the two children was within High Heaven Palace. However, this area was exclusive, in which Yang Kai was not allowed to enter. In fact, most of the adult men of the Yang Family were not allowed to enter this space.

This area was a cluster of small palaces, with a woman taking up a single palace. There was a common courtyard amongst these palaces, which already had a large table and multiple chairs in place. 

The place was serene with sunlight filtering through twisted branches, casting ethereal patterns over the table and seats. Mist rose, veiling the setting in mystery. As for the trees, they would remain silent sentinels, as the women chatter. Bell-like voices would ring out from time to time, even more graceful than the gentle splashing in the accompanying pond. 

This was none other than the place where the Wives Council was. In short, all of Yang Kai’s Wives were here. The palaces were smaller here mainly because this place was made just as a retreat for them. 

The other women who frequented this place would be the maids and their Mother-in-Law. However, even the maids were special as only the most trusted were allowed entry into this place–like Bi Luo. 

Here, all conversations were free to be spoken about, free of judgement. The only ones they had to be wary of were probably the children, but normally, more sensitive topics would not be discussed in their presence.

The moment Su Yan appeared, everyone present could feel her aura. Most of the other Wives instantly made their way to the courtyard as though this whole matter had been decided upon, that a gathering would be held the moment their Eldest Sister had returned.

Even Dong Su Zhu, who was alerted by Su Yan’s presence, quickly abandoned cooking to her Husband, who was wide-eyed with confusion, and rushed to the courtyard.
