Volume 1_Chapter 278: Grand Finale (Part 2)

When Yun Qiyue went out, she saw that at the entrance of the Holy Land, not only were Ye Lanjue, Yun Xiang, the Mu Patriarch, and the elders standing there, but at this moment, the entrance was bustling with people.

People, densely packed.

Ye Lanjue and Yun Xiang had just approached Yun Qiyue and hadn't even been able to speak when they heard one "Pay respects to the Saintess" after another.

And the person these people were paying respects to was naturally Yun Qiyue.

Yun Qiyue looked up and saw that except for the Mu Patriarch, everyone else was kneeling.

Yun Qiyue couldn't help but look at the Mu Patriarch, "Me? Saintess?"

The Mu Patriarch nodded, "Since ancient times, those who can enter the Holy Land are Saintesses."

Yun Qiyue: "But didn't you say that was a key?"

Wasn't she able to enter the Holy Land because she had the key?

"That was indeed a key," the Mu Patriarch said without blinking, "For more than a decade, the Mu family has not had anyone with the Saintess mark, except for you. That piece of red jade was just a token to enter the Holy Land."

Which meant that if someone else took the red jade, they wouldn't be able to enter the Holy Land.

Mu Lianxin back then was like that.

And if Yun Qiyue didn't have the Saintess mark, Mu Qingwan wouldn't have left that token to Yun Qiyue.

Only because Yun Qiyue was the only Saintess candidate this time.

Yun Qiyue: "..." But she didn't have the surname Mu.

The Mu Patriarch seemed to see Yun Qiyue's thoughts and said faintly, "The Mu family's Saintess doesn't need to have the surname Mu; as long as one possesses the Mu family bloodline, it is fine."

Yun Qiyue: "..."

Only then did Yun Qiyue know why she always felt the Mu Patriarch's gaze was not quite right before entering the Holy Land.

It turned out he was waiting for her there.

Yun Qiyue grabbed Ye Lanjue's hand, "I am already married."

Didn't they say the Saintess and the Patriarch must have a marriage contract?

She already had a husband, so she absolutely could not be the Mu family's Saintess.

And what Saintess or not, if she couldn't choose her own marriage, what was the use of being one?

The Mu Patriarch understood Yun Qiyue's meaning and said faintly, "Rest assured, I can still live for 16 years."

Yun Qiyue: "... What do you mean?"

The Mu Patriarch laughed, "Look at my age; do I look like I can take a wife?"

It turned out that the Saintess and the Patriarch were not necessarily born together.

And now, the Mu Patriarch was still the Mu Patriarch, and the Mu family's Patriarch successor had not yet appeared.

So, even if Yun Qiyue became the Saintess, she didn't need to worry about the problem of marrying the Patriarch.

And...

"You becoming the Saintess is just to continue the Mu family's inheritance; you don't need to stay in the Mu family, nor do you need to do anything else. Just wait for the next Saintess to appear, and you can retire with merit," the Mu Patriarch said.

Yun Qiyue didn't quite understand the Mu Patriarch's words.

Then, the Mu Patriarch thought for a moment and made a metaphor: Fire seed.

The current Yun Qiyue was like a fire seed.

As long as the fire seed existed, the Saintess inheritance would not be broken.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Just being a fire seed, what was wrong with that?

Moreover, since she had obtained things from the Holy Land and had such good benefits, she naturally couldn't be too selfish, right?

So, after confirming she didn't need to stay in the Mu family, Yun Qiyue agreed quite decisively.

As a Saintess, Yun Qiyue naturally couldn't just walk away after taking the position; she had to stay in the Mu family for a period of time.

Fortunately, the Mu family's atmosphere was excellent, and the customs were simple, so staying there was quite comfortable.

Until one day, someone came to the Mu family.

The person who came was an old man.

As soon as he arrived, he wanted to find Ye Lanjue, and he looked like someone not to be trifled with.

Yun Qiyue inquired and learned that this old man was actually the head of the Hua family.

As soon as the Hua family head saw Ye Lanjue, he was very displeased, "Since you have returned, why don't you go back?"

Yun Qiyue, standing beside Ye Lanjue, was a bit confused.

What was the relationship between the first family, the Hua family, and Ye Lanjue?

Speaking of this relationship, it was a bit complex.

This had to start from Ye Lanjue's mother.

Ye Lanjue's mother, Shui Ruozhu, was actually not a daughter of the Shui family.

Instead, she was a daughter of the Hua family who had been lost outside.

Although the Hua family and the Shui family were far apart, and not just ordinarily far.

And both families were noble families, one at the head and one at the end; in normal times, they naturally couldn't have any intersection.

So much so that the Hua family had searched for many years.

Although Shui Ruozhu eventually recognized her ancestors, she had already married and had a child with a descendant of the Ye family—that was Ye Lanjue.

The Ye family only had Ye Lanjue as a bloodline.

The Hua family also only had Ye Lanjue as a direct bloodline.

However, to become the head of the Hua family and overcome all opposition, Ye Lanjue could only rely on his own strength; this was the rule.

Otherwise, Shui Ruozhu would not have failed to return to the Hua family back then.

And Ye Lanjue had always been watched by the Hua family.

It could be said that the Hua family saw everything about Ye Lanjue.

Ye Lanjue was indeed a good candidate for the head of the family.

And the reason Ye Lanjue wanted to come to the Hidden World was just to fulfill his mother's last wish.

Of course, Shui Ruozhu's last wish was not for Ye Lanjue to come and be the head of the Hua family, but for Ye Lanjue to come to the Hidden World and make his own choice.

In the past, Ye Lanjue didn't care about these things, so he never came.

Although the Hua family was anxious, they couldn't force Ye Lanjue to come.

And the reason Ye Lanjue didn't come was only because his body was precarious, not knowing when he would die; how could he come to the Hua family, and why would he need to make a choice about his life?

But after having Yun Qiyue, it was different.

If he never came, the Hua family would likely rush out of that gate and head to Tianqi.

Rather than that, it was better for Ye Lanjue to come himself and give his own answer.

Facing the questioning of the Hua family head—that is, Ye Lanjue's grandfather—Ye Lanjue's tone was faint, "I have no interest in the position of family head."

The Hua family head was not a person with a good temper; upon hearing Ye Lanjue's answer, the air pressure around him changed drastically.

"It is not up to you." The Hua family head said coldly.

Clearly, he was a person accustomed to being overbearing and would not tolerate refusal.

However, Ye Lanjue was not a person to be manipulated either.

For a moment, between the two, swords were drawn.

Yun Qiyue felt nervous just watching.

Then, at this tense moment, Yun Qiyue suddenly "bleh—" made a sound.

This sound immediately made Ye Lanjue restrain his momentum, and then he looked at Yun Qiyue with a worried face.

"What's wrong with you?"

Yun Qiyue: "... I don't know."

Then, Yun Qiyue took her own pulse, and her whole person petrified.

Because she was actually pregnant.

Yun Qiyue didn't speak for a long time, which worried Ye Lanjue to death.

"What is wrong with you?" Then, the anxious Ye Lanjue prepared to call a doctor.

After all, Ye Lanjue also knew that a doctor could not treat themselves.

However, Yun Qiyue didn't let him.

Instead, she leaned directly into Ye Lanjue's ear, "I am pregnant."

"What?"

The one who exclaimed was not Ye Lanjue, but the Hua family head.

As a powerhouse, he naturally had eyes and ears that ordinary people couldn't compare to.

The Hua family head, who was about to fight a moment ago, was beaming with joy the next moment, and then, regardless of the fact that this was the Mu family, he directly ordered his subordinates, "Come, quickly, bring all the spiritual medicine from the Hua family treasury to the Young Master's wife."

"No, arrange a courtyard directly; it must be the best. I want to take my grandson-in-law back to rest."

"Is my Mu family unable to support a pregnant woman or something? Does she need to go to your Hua family to rest?" At this time, the Mu Patriarch appeared.

Then, the two families began to fight over people.

As for Ye Lanjue, who cared about him?

Finally, because the two were arguing endlessly, they eventually agreed that Yun Qiyue would live in the Mu family for six months and go to the Hua family in the late stage of pregnancy.

And for the first six months, the Hua family naturally sent all kinds of supplements.

Ten months of pregnancy, one morning of labor, Yun Qiyue actually gave birth to triplets, two boys and a girl... ===== CHAPTER 279 =====
