Chapter 479: Hiss, Could He Be an Illegitimate Child?

Looking at the two little girls' obedient appearance.

Ye Qingxuan involuntarily stepped forward and patted their small heads.

However, Ye Qingxuan's approach made the two little girls, who were seeing him for the first time, feel a bit nervous.

They instinctively clenched their small hands, blinked their big eyes, and turned to look at Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu.

Sensing the two little girls' gaze, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu also looked at them gently, their eyes full of encouragement.

As if sensing the encouragement from Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, the two little girls' bodies relaxed slightly.

Seeing this scene, the corner of Ye Qingxuan's mouth also involuntarily curled up slightly. He looked at Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu and asked:

"How old are these two little girls?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's question, Ye Zhaoheng stepped forward respectfully and said:

"Replying to Young Master, Yun'er and Cail'er are six years old this year."

"Only six years old?"

Hearing Ye Zhaoheng's reply, Ye Qingxuan was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but continue to ask:

"Do the parents of those two little girls agree to let them become my attendants?"

"Young Master, Yun'er and Cail'er are orphans. Their parents have already..."

Hearing this, the hand Ye Qingxuan was using to pat the two little girls paused, and then the movement became even gentler.

And hearing the conversation between Ye Qingxuan and Ye Zhaoheng, the two little girls couldn't help but have tears welling up in their eyes.

Obviously, although they were only six years old, they could already understand topics related to their parents.

Sensing the emotional change in the two little girls, Ye Qingxuan directly squatted down to look at them, a hint of apology appearing in his eyes.

Seeing the two little girls press their small mouths together, tears brimming in the corners of their eyes as they pretended to be strong.

Ye Qingxuan patted their small heads again and spoke gently:

"From now on, the Qingxuan Blessed Land will be your new home. Don't be afraid!"

Qi moves with the heart. As his mindset changed, the aura radiating from Ye Qingxuan became even more natural and peaceful.

In front of Ye Qingxuan, the two little girls heard his words and felt the gentle, approachable aura radiating from him.

Their previously pretended strength was instantly broken.

The two little girls threw themselves directly into Ye Qingxuan's arms, burying their small faces in them and crying loudly with "wu, wu, wu" sounds.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qingxuan felt a bit awkward.

He hadn't expected to make the two little girls cry on the very first day of meeting.

Squatting on the ground, Ye Qingxuan was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Ye Qingxuan thought: How do you take care of a six-year-old? Waiting for a tutorial online, it's urgent.

Helplessly, Ye Qingxuan could only turn his gaze toward Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu.

Sensing their Young Master's gaze, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu also looked at each other helplessly.

Although sisters Liu Yun'er and Liu Cail'er were brought back by them, they really didn't know how to comfort the two little girls.

Looking at the two little girls crying loudly in their Young Master's arms, and at their Young Master's questioning gaze.

Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu immediately became so anxious they scratched their ears and rubbed their scalps.

In the past, taking care of children was mostly done by Yu Xueqing; they really didn't know what to do.

Moreover, before, Liu Yun'er and Liu Cail'er were very obedient in front of them and never cried.

For a moment, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu couldn't help but feel a bit resentful toward their Young Master.

Everything was fine before; how did he suddenly make the two little girls cry?

What Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu did not know was:

Previously, the two little girls never cried in front of them because they were afraid the two would get tired of them and abandon them.

Although Liu Yun'er and Liu Cail'er were young, their hearts were very sensitive, which is why they had always pretended to be strong.

After arriving here, hearing Ye Qingxuan and Ye Zhaoheng discuss their parents, the two little girls couldn't help but start feeling sad in their hearts.

They just tried hard to hold back their tears and put on a strong appearance so as not to make the others dislike them.

Until Ye Qingxuan said that this place would be their new home in the future, the two little girls felt slightly relieved in their hearts.

Plus, they were later infected by the aura radiating from Ye Qingxuan.

With their minds relaxed, they could no longer hold back their emotions. They threw themselves into Ye Qingxuan's arms and cried loudly, releasing the emotions they had been suppressing all along.

On the opposite side, seeing Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu scratching their ears and rubbing their scalps, Ye Qingxuan also glared at the two without good temper,

as if saying:

"You two know how to bring people back, but you don't know how to take care of children?"

Then, looking down at the two little girls crying loudly in his arms, Ye Qingxuan's heart softened.

He gently wrapped his arms around the two little girls and picked them up.

After standing up, Ye Qingxuan glared at Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu again, then gently rocked the two little girls in his arms.

Sensing their Young Master's gaze, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu gave an awkward smile, then quickly lowered their heads to look at their own toes to relieve the embarrassment.

Not long after, the two little girls, tired from crying, lay on Ye Qingxuan's chest, their small mouths slightly open, sleeping soundly.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan moved his spiritual sense.

In the next moment, a cradle condensed from spiritual power appeared before him.

He gently placed the two little girls in his arms onto the cradle.

Ye Qingxuan raised his head, glanced at Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu who were lowering their heads not far away, and spoke softly:

"Do you want to solve the problem of your spiritual power being mottled?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's question, brothers Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, at this moment, forgot about the recent embarrassment and said in unison:

"Want to!"

"Mm!"

Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly, let out a soft "mm," and continued speaking:

"Then, starting today, you will switch to cultivating the Path of Fortune and become Fortune Cultivators!"

"Fortune Cultivators?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu both showed hesitation in their eyes, their faces filled with confusion.

The two assumed the Fortune Cultivators Ye Qingxuan mentioned referred to those within the Xuantian Sect.

As Ye Qingxuan's attendants,

they were not unfamiliar with the Xuantian Sect's Path of Fortune.

But setting aside the fact that the Fortune Cultivator slots of the Xuantian Sect were not within their reach,

even if they obtained a slot, the many restrictions of the Path of Fortune were beyond what the two of them could break.

Their current cultivation base clearly no longer met the requirements for contracting a Fortune Land.

Seeming to see the confusion in Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly and spoke again:

"They are Fortune Cultivators, but not those within the Xuantian Sect; they are the Fortune Cultivators under my command."

Afterwards, Ye Qingxuan continued speaking.

He introduced the relevant information about the Path of Fortune under his command and the existence of the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven to Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu.

As the attendants who had followed him the longest,

Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu had long since successfully sworn a Dao Vow of eternal loyalty to him.

Previously, the two brothers had already learned of some of his secrets regarding his cultivation base and other matters.

Now that the two were to become Fortune Cultivators, there was naturally no need to continue hiding information about the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven and the Path of Fortune under his command from them.

Listening to their Young Master's introduction,

the hesitation and confusion in the eyes of the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, gradually turned into shock.

As attendants who had followed their Young Master since he first opened a Fortune Land,

the two never expected their Young Master to be hiding such a huge secret.

After Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu finished listening to Ye Qingxuan's detailed introduction of the Path of Fortune under his command,

the two brothers instantly became extremely excited.

Compared to the Fortune Cultivators within the Xuantian Sect,

the Path of Fortune Ye Qingxuan described was not only less limited in scope, but its benefits had also increased significantly.

Apart from being restricted by Ye Qingxuan, there were basically no downsides.

But for Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, they were already Ye Qingxuan's attendants and had sworn eternal loyalty to him.

Therefore, after becoming Fortune Cultivators under Ye Qingxuan, the point of "being restricted by Ye Qingxuan" was utterly irrelevant to the two of them.

Thus, after Ye Qingxuan finished explaining everything, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu immediately spoke up excitedly in unison:

"Young Master, we brothers are willing to become Fortune Cultivators under your command."

Seeing the excited expressions of Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, Ye Qingxuan smiled with amusement in his eyes and nodded slightly, saying:

"In that case, go to the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven and each choose a sixth-rank spiritual vein to open your own Fortune Land!"

"Oh, and there is also the World Map and that Void-Realm Qing Demon Clan!"

Having finished speaking, Ye Qingxuan moved his spiritual sense; the World Map in Ye Zhaoheng's arms flew out and was grasped in Ye Qingxuan's hand.

Under the control of Ye Qingxuan's true body, the Evil Witch Yun, suppressed within the World Map, had no chance to resist and was directly annihilated by Ye Qingxuan, his Primordial Spirit obliterated.

After putting away the corpse of Evil Witch Yun, Ye Qingxuan stored his innate magic treasure, the World Map, into his spiritual power void realm to nurture it.

Now that he had advanced to the Empty Void Realm, his innate magic treasure, the World Map, had also undergone another stage of advancement and transformation.

After finishing all this,

Ye Qingxuan waved his hand once more, and the figures of the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, vanished directly on the spot.

When they appeared again, the two brothers had already entered the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven.

"Is this the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven opened by the Young Master?"

Suppressing their inner excitement, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu took a look at the surrounding environment.

After receiving the information that had been poured into their minds out of nowhere, they already knew what to do next.

After exchanging a glance, the two flew off together in the same direction.

Outside, sensing the state of Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu within the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven, Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly.

Now, he only had to wait for the two of them to choose the locations for their sixth-rank spiritual lands to open their Fortune Lands.

Since the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Fortune Land advanced to the seventh rank,

Ye Qingxuan had been able to manipulate the power of heaven and earth to suppress the sixth-rank spiritual veins within the grotto-heaven, allowing cultivators under his command to contract them.

However, since the sixth-rank spiritual veins within the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven were still relatively scarce, Ye Qingxuan had not yet opened the exchange slots for sixth-rank Fortune Lands in Dongxuan City.

After sending the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, to the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven,

Ye Qingxuan's gaze turned to the two little girls sleeping soundly on the spiritual power rocking bed, and he felt another wave of headache.

Attendants? What else could these two little girls do besides play at the moment?

Now, Ye Qingxuan felt a vague sense of regret in his heart.

If he had known earlier, he should have waited a bit longer before telling the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, about the Fortune Cultivators, letting them raise the two little girls first.

Otherwise, after Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu became Fortune Cultivators, what would happen to the two little girls?

Was he supposed to take care of the children? The key was, he didn't know how! And he'd have to take care of two at once?

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but curse the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, soundly in his heart.

Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, who were searching for a spiritual land within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven, couldn't help but sneeze a few times, suddenly feeling utterly bewildered.

The two exchanged glances, shrugged at each other, and then stopped worrying about the sneezing, resuming their journey to find a sixth-rank spiritual land.

Outside, Ye Qingxuan looked at the sleeping Liu Yun'er and Liu Cailier with a helpless expression in his eyes.

Was he hiring attendants, or was he inviting trouble?

"Perhaps I should have Zhaoheng and Zhaoyu return first?"

Troubled by the hassle, Ye Qingxuan muttered subconsciously, feeling an impulse to recall Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu.

However, Ye Qingxuan ultimately rejected this thought in his heart.

Previously, to lie in wait for the Evil Witch Yun, the two of them, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, had already wasted over a hundred years.

Now, the situation in the Earthly Profound Realm was escalating, and the arrival of the Great Era should not be far off.

Under these circumstances, the cultivation progress of the brothers Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu could no longer be delayed.

As his attendants, how could they become mere bystanders in the coming Great Era?

After pondering for a short while, Ye Qingxuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, took out his disciple token, and sent a message:

"Zhu Dafu, post a mission through the Tianfu Shop: within three days, find a female disciple capable of childcare among the outer disciples of the Xuantian Sect and send her to the Qingxuan Blessed Land."

After sending the message, Ye Qingxuan put away his disciple token with a slightly smug expression.

Aren't they just two small children? Could they possibly be difficult for him?

On the other side.

Inside the Tianfu Shop, Zhu Dafu, who had already entered a retirement state, looked at the message from Ye Qingxuan within the token in his hand, his eyes somewhat bewildered:

"A female disciple capable of childcare? What kind of mission is this?"

Having lived in the Xuantian Sect for so many years, this was the first time Zhu Dafu had seen such a mission.

Feeling somewhat uncertain, Zhu Dafu extended his spiritual sense to read the message sent by Ye Qingxuan once more, saying in a low voice:

"This... is correct, isn't it? Just find a female disciple capable of childcare!"

For a moment, Zhu Dafu was utterly perplexed.

Why would Ye Qingxuan, who was perfectly fine, suddenly look for a female disciple capable of childcare?

After pondering for a long time, he seemed to think of something incredible.

Zhu Dafu's eyes suddenly widened, and he sucked in a sharp breath:

"Hiss, could it be an illegitimate child?"

He had never heard that Ye Qingxuan already had a Dao Companion.

Now suddenly asking him to find a female disciple capable of childcare clearly meant he wanted the disciple to help take care of the child!

The case was solved; it was undoubtedly an illegitimate child.

But if he had a child, why was there no one to take care of it?

"Hiss, could it be that he seduced and abandoned her? Or is it something that cannot be seen in the light?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Dafu, as if he had discovered a great secret, extended his spiritual sense to cautiously investigate the surroundings.

Only after confirming that no one was eavesdropping did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Staring blankly at the token in his hand, Zhu Dafu shook his head slightly after a long while and said:

"Boss, you are confused! Alas!"

"No, this mission cannot be posted openly; I must carry it out secretly."

Having said this, Zhu Dafu's eyes showed determination, and he walked out with heavy steps.
