Chapter 489: All the Women Gather

Looking at the girl beaming with joy, Ye Xue suddenly didn't know what to say.

Obviously, Lü Ya hadn't recalled the past.

Then whatever she said would be meaningless.

"Where is Lin Chuan?"

Lü Ya replied, "The young master has gone beyond the Star Ring Realm."

Ye Xue gazed toward the mist‑shrouded far end of the Star Ring Realm, a place she could not set foot in, not even qualified to behold an Immortal.

"Then I'll wait here for him to return."

Ye Xue decided to stay in the Star Ring Realm, join the battlefield, and begin a new cultivation here.

Lü Ya asked curiously, "Ye Xue, is there something you need from the young master?"

"Hmm."

Ye Xue nodded, "There is something very important."

Lü Ya said, "Then you may have to wait a long time; the young master still doesn't know when he'll return."

"It's fine, I can wait."

Ye Xue's expression turned indifferent as she walked forward.

"I'll accompany you," Lü Ya immediately followed, thinking it was boring to be alone, and with the young master absent, chatting with Ye Xue was fine.

Ye Xue gave her a glance, turned her head away, and remained silent.

Lü Ya, like a Xique, chattered nonstop beside her.

Ye Xue couldn't hold back, stopped, looked into Lü Ya's eyes, and said, "Lü Ya, I have a question for you."

"What?" Lü Ya blinked.

"Do you like the young master of your household?" Ye Xue asked.

"I do."

Lü Ya answered without hesitation.

"Then can you accept that your young master has many Dao Companions?" Ye Xue asked again.

"Sure."

"Having many Dao Companions isn't a bad thing for the young master; the more people, the greater the strength."

Ye Xue: "…"

This girl doesn't seem like a liar.

She didn't know how to continue the conversation.

Seeing Ye Xue silent, Lü Ya asked again,

"Ye Xue, do you want to be the young master's Dao Companion?"

"I don't know."

Ye Xue shook her head.

"Wanting is wanting, not wanting is not wanting; why would you not know?" Lü Ya wondered.

Ye Xue felt she could no longer continue communicating with Lü Ya.

This girl's world is too simple, too straightforward.

She let out a light sigh, changed the subject and asked, "Lü Ya, do you know what relationship those few women who are close to Lin Chuan have with him?"

"Good friends."

"Good friends?"

"Yes, that's what the young master said; you are all his good friends," Lü Ya replied earnestly.

Ye Xue understood, completely understood.

The two were talking when three streaks of light rushed toward them from afar.

The three figures descended.

The three who arrived were Mo Sangyu, Yun Zhi Yi, and Tu Shan Jiao Jiao; they met each other at the first moment of their breakthrough and all regained their memories.

Following Lü Ya's aura, they came here.

The atmosphere became subtly tense in an instant.

Ye Xue stood alone at one end, Lü Ya in the middle, while Mo Sangyu, Yun Zhi Yi, and Tu Shan Jiao Jiao stood on the opposite side.

"Are you all here looking for Lin Chuan?"

After a moment, Ye Xue spoke, her tone indifferent.

"You too?"

Mo Sangyu, in a flash of red robes, looked at Ye Xue, her aura not inferior at all.

"What relationship do you have with Lin Chuan?" Ye Xue asked.

"And what relationship do you have with Lin Chuan?" Mo Sangyu retorted.

"I am her properly wedded wife," Ye Xue, having guessed something, declared her status outright.

"He and I are a match made by heaven and earth, appointed by the Dao's will," Mo Sangyu naturally didn't want to lose momentum.

The already taut atmosphere suddenly reached its peak, ready to ignite at any moment.

At that moment, a violet streak of light sliced across the sky.

The gazes of all the women converged on it.

The violet light fell, and Lin Yangyang arrived.

"Yang Zu." Seeing Lin Yangyang, Ye Xue, rarely relaxed, showed a hint of respect.

"Ye Xue, meeting again across lifetimes, welcome back."

Lin Yangyang had long sensed the women's auras gathering in the Star Ring Realm and came specially to resolve her brother's romantic crisis.

"Sister."

Yun Zhi Yi had already arranged a childhood marriage with Lin Chuan in this life, and in her youth she lived together at the Cloud Kingdom Academy with Lin Yangyang for a time, becoming familiar with each other.

"Let me speak."

Lin Yangyang sighed lightly, looked at Yun Zhi Yi, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Zhi Yi, you should have awakened memories of your past life."

"In your previous life, did you come from another Great World to pursue Lin Chuan across the starry sky?"

"Hmm." Yun Zhi Yi nodded, "I, Sangyu and Tu Shan Jiao Jiao are all beings from that world, following A Chuan's Guidance here."

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao and Mo Sangyu remained silent, silently watching Lin Yangyang.

Lin Chuan's sister in this life clearly knows a lot; Lin Chuan's reincarnation to the Great World of their past lives is probably also related to this sister.

Lin Yangyang explained, "Ye Xue was Lin Chuan's wife in his previous life; to aid Lin Chuan, she fell in a battle for supremacy."

"And later…"

Lin Yangyang recounted that missing episode unknown to either side, telling the gathered women.

Including the episode where she made a Heavenly Dao Great Vow, sending the last strand of Lin Chuan's True Spirit into the Chaos Universe.

The women understood.

Yun Zhi Yi also gave a rough account of the story from the previous life.

Mainly to reveal her identity to Ye Xue.

Having clarified the whole chain of events, both sides fell silent again; it seemed an unsolvable matter, no wonder Lin Chuan could not make a choice.

Lü Ya wore a completely bewildered expression.

So there are that many stories between me and the young master?

"Actually, arguing now is meaningless."

Lin Yangyang said, "Wait for Chuan'er to return; then he will give you an explanation."

As she spoke, worry clouded her brows, and her tone grew heavy.

"I just don't know whether Chuan'er can still return and see you again."

With those words, the women's moods shifted instantly; worry eclipsed concern. If Lin Chuan were to fall outside the Star Ring Realm, would they still be discussing this here?

Wouldn't that be a joke?

"Sister, how exactly is A Chuan's current situation?" Yun Zhi Yi asked.

"It's difficult."

Lin Yangyang said, "Beyond the Star Ring Realm, in the starry sky sealed by Black Mist, the tenth spatial rift has appeared, yet there is no tenth Immortal in the heavens and earth."

"In the present world, only Chuan'er can fill that gap."

"So he went."

"He does not want any of you to be harmed."

Lin Yangyang felt a surge of helplessness; she should have gone herself, and she did reach the utmost of her ability, yet it was still too slow.

In the end she still could not catch up with Chuan'er's pace.

Yun Zhi Yi's eyes hardened with resolve.

"If A Chuan is present, he surely wants us to set aside our prejudices; the celestial tribulation is imminent, and A Chuan is buying us time."

"We should cherish this, and stand by his side before the real tribulation arrives."

"Hmm." Ye Xue nodded, offering no further argument.

Mo Sangyu also suppressed the surging emotions.

They were not people who, for personal gain or romantic entanglements, disregarded the world and its beings; they understood that now the greater picture must take precedence.

………

Outside the Star Ring Realm.

Immersed in the dream cultivation space, Lin Chuan again heard the voice of the Human Ancestor.

Tribulation! It's coming!
