Chapter 716: He went to seek love
Still...
A huge surprise submerged Yun Zhongyue.
Older sister is still alive!
"She really is still alive! I knew it! I knew it!"
Yun Zhongyue's eyes filled with hot tears, he was so excited he could not control himself.
Even though everyone said Yun Ling had fallen, he firmly believed his older sister would never just abandon them like that.
As expected, she is still alive!
"Where is she?" He could not wait to see her.
Over all these years, his longing for his older sister had never diminished; instead, it grew stronger with time.
"She is not convenient to see you now; after the Clan Leader Succession Ceremony ends, I will arrange for you to meet her."
Ye Qingran pondered, then decided to wait until Yun Lan's matter was settled before letting Yun Zhongyue and the others meet Yun Ling.
Otherwise, if they found out Yun Ling had been unconscious for so many years, they would surely worry again.
Also, Yun Ling's current condition is indeed not suitable for frequently coming out of the space...
He felt a little down inside, but Yun Zhongyue quickly returned to normal.
We've endured so many years; a little while longer won't matter.
"Good. I'll wait for your arrangement!"
Yun Zhongyue looked forward to it. After calming his emotions, he began asking Ye Qingran about her experiences over these years, asking why she had not come to the Yun Tribe to find them all this time.
Ye Qingran answered each of his questions; of course, many details had been revised and beautified by her.
The past is past; the hardships and injuries mother and daughter have suffered over these years need only be known to themselves—there's no need to speak them out and cause extra sorrow to loved ones.
Hearing Ye Qingran speak of Yun Lan's misdeeds, Yun Zhongyue clenched his fists in anger: "You are her niece by blood—how could she treat you like this?!"
Ye Qingran smiled indifferently: "So what if I'm her niece by blood? In this world, aren't there plenty of cases where even tigers eat their own young?"
She did not continue the topic, but asked: "What made Yun Lan become like this? I heard she used to have a good relationship with you all?"
Yun Zhongyue shook his head: "The year my older sister went missing, she became like this; we thought she had been stimulated, which caused her to change. After all, she and my older sister had always been on good terms."
Ye Qingran's eyes flickered. Since Yun Lan and Yun Ling had always been close from childhood, how could she suddenly become a different person?
"Little Ran'er, come, let's return to Neicheng; your grandfather will surely be delighted to see you!"
If Father knew that not only was the older sister still alive, but his daughter had grown so large and become extraordinarily beautiful, he would surely be overjoyed.
He could not wait to share this good news with Yun Batian!
Unexpectedly, Ye Qingran shook her head.
"Not urgent."
Yun Zhongyue was anxious to death: "Why not be in a hurry? Since you've returned, you must announce it to the world! Our Yun Tribe's little treasure cannot remain unknown!"
"Little treasure?"
Ye Qingran got goosebumps all over!
"Grandfather's health is poor; I'm afraid he can't take this stimulation."
Ye Qingran gave a forced explanation.
Unexpectedly, Yun Zhongyue agreed: "That's true, that old coot's health has been deteriorating year by year..."
"Then when are you planning to say it?"
"Wait until Mother returns, then we'll do it together!"
Yun Zhongyue's eyes lit up; he thought this idea was not bad.
"Good! This idea is good! Then we'll keep hiding it from him again."
Ye Qingran nodded in agreement.
"Grandfather's health is bad; do you know the reason?" Ye Qingran asked seemingly casually.
Yun Zhongyue shook his head: "Isn't it because of the older sister? Over these years, his condition has worsened year after year..." Upon mentioning Yun Batian, Yun Zhongyue's face turned solemn.
The old man is also especially overbearing and stubborn; he does not appreciate their concern, and refuses to say anything when asked.
A dark glint flashed in Ye Qingran's eyes.
Yun Batian clearly knew his own health was deteriorating, yet Yun Lan had tampered with it, and he neither stopped her nor told Yun Zhongyue and the others.
"By the way, how about Third Uncle, Eldest Uncle, and Second Uncle?"
"The second brother is a cultivation maniac; the only thing in this world that can arouse his interest, besides the older sister, is cultivation. Now that the older sister is not on his mind, he likely has gone into hiding to seclude himself for cultivation."
Ye Qingran had also heard of this second uncle; indeed, he seems to be a cultivation maniac.
"And the eldest uncle?"
"The eldest brother? He went to Western Extremity."
"Western Extremity?" Ye Qingran blinked.
"Not bad." Yun Zhongyue pursed his lips: "The last time I went to Western Extremity, I saw him once; he was then at the Purple Extreme Pill Sect. We haven't been in contact for over a year, and I don't know if he's still there."
"Is the eldest uncle still an Alchemist?"
Ye Qingran was surprised.
Who would have thought, Yun Zhongyue's expression was... hard to put into words.
"No."
"No?" Not an Alchemist going to the Purple Extreme Pill Sect?
You know, the Purple Extreme Pill Sect is the most profound Alchemist sect on the continent!
"He went... to seek love."
Ye Qingran was stunned, then her eyes lit up: "I never expected the eldest uncle to be so devoted; I don't know what kind of peerless beauty could make him go to such lengths?"
Yun Zhongyue's expression grew even more subtle.
"Third Uncle, what's with that expression? Eldest Uncle is seeking his own love—what's wrong with that?"
Yun Zhongyue wanted to say, there's nothing wrong with pursuing love, but what if the other person isn't an absolute great beauty?
