"My mother?" Ye Tian Yun's hand paused in the air for a moment.
Madam Wang gave a slight nod, "Yes. She taught me to cook such good food."
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "How was she?"
Madam Wang let out a sigh, "Honestly, she was different from everyone in our generation. The aura around was majestic. Her simple gaze was heavenly. She was the epitome of beauty."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Do you know where she is now?"
Madam Wang smiled, "No one knows. Not even your father."
Ye Tian Yun nodded.
It had been years since he last saw her mother.
Now, he didn't even remember her face.
But if anyone insulted her, he wouldn't take it lying down.
Ye Tian Yun reasoned this as his affection towards his mother.
'I was too busy destroying the God's Legion. I never looked much into matters related to my mother…'
'This time, I will definitely look for her.'
The person who knew his mother was undoubtedly his father, Emperor Ye.
'I wonder if he even thinks about her…?'
'Highly unlikely…'
Thinking about this, Ye Tian Yun inwardly let out a sigh.
The mood at the table had suddenly gone low.
At this moment, City Lord Wang spoke to uplift it, "Well, Ye Tian Yun, Sister-in-law was the most unique and powerful cultivator in the Middle Heavens. Most of us think that she went out in the search for a higher realm."
Ye Tian Yun nodded.
'This should be the case.'
Seeing him nod, Madam Wang wanted to say something, but she suddenly noticed a signal from her husband and thus kept quiet.
'How could this child not question the fact that his mother left him alone to pursue cultivation…' She thought.
Her sister had always been very hard to understand.
'And she married Ye Tian Xuan…'
Emperor Ye was no different in nature from her wife.
However, it still surprised Madam Wang to this day how those two people even got together.
'Sigh…'
Madam Wang took a deep breath and focused once again on cultivation.
Seeing no change in the mood, City Lord Wang tried to change the topic by dropping a bomb.
"So, Nephew Yun, when is my brother planning to release the news about your marriage?"
"Cough-cough!" Ye Tian Yun choked on his food and drank some water; he said, "Uncle… I don't know about this."
"Hm.." City Lord Wang glanced at Ling Qing'er and said, "I am sure your wife will be a virtuous lady."
Ling Qing'er was confused as to why Uncle Wang was staring at her.
However, Wang Yao, as a transmigrator and an avid webnovel reader, knew what was going on.
'He's going to marry Ling Qing'er!'
There was a huge explosion in Wang Yao's mind.
And just then, a prompt appeared in front of him.
[Quest: Stop Ye Tian Yun's marriage.]
[Reward: Ling Qing'er's love.]
[Penalty: Death]
[Time limit: Five Years]
As the prompt appeared in front of Wang Yao, Ye Tian Yun suddenly felt the killing intent in the former's eyes increasing by many folds.
'What the fuck is wrong with this retard?'
Ye Tian Yun didn't understand.
'And why do I feel like I am forgetting something?'
Ye Tian Yun suddenly felt like he was missing an important piece of information, and he needed to say it here.
However, no matter how hard Ye Tian Yun, he couldn't remember it.
'Forget it. I should enjoy this food and leave this place as soon as possible. I don't know how long I can hold myself back from killing this guy in front of me.'
After about ten or so minutes, everyone had finished lunch and was sitting in the main hall.
Ye Tian Yun glanced at Butler Liu and frowned.
The latter had not spoken a single word the whole time he was at the lunch table, and even now, he was weirdly silent.
'Did something happen?'
It came as a surprise for him.
Even more than the fact that Butler Liu was sitting with them.
Not that Ye Tian Yun minded that, but Butler Liu had never agreed to eat with him before no matter how many times he requested the latter.
'I should talk to him when we're out.'
He then glanced at City Lord Wang and said, "Uncle, I should get going. I am planning to get to the Middle Heavens by sunset."
City Lord Wang nodded his head, "Alright, let's go."
As he let out a sigh, Ling Qing'er also stood up.
She glanced longingly at Wang Yao as a stream of tears fell from her eyes.
"It's alright," Wang Yao said to her, "I will come to you in a few years."
Ye Tian Yun had a strong urge to roll his eyes at those words.
'In a few years? As soon as you get out of your father's protection, you're dead meat.'
"Promise me, Brother Wang." Ling Qing'er asked while sniffing.
Wang Yao smiled, "I promise."
City Lord Wang frowned at this and glanced at Ye Tian Yun to see his reaction.
Surprisingly, he only found nonchalance and indifference on Ye Tian Yun's face.
'Isn't she his future wife? Does he not care that she's showing affection to someone else?
Wang Yao came closer to Ling Qing'er and wiped her tears, and then glancing at Ye Tian Yun, he gritted his teeth.
"Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun!" He suddenly declared, "I will definitely surpass you! And when the time comes, I will defeat you in front of the whole Middle Heavens!"
Ye Tian Yun frowned at him.
'Last time he said he would bathe the Middle Heavens with my blood…. Hmmm… this one sounds better.'
Taking a deep breath, Ye Tian Yun suddenly stood and stepped right in front of Wang Yao.
"Cousin Wang, this will be the first and last warning for you. When you're talking with me, you better use your words carefully."
Wang Yao frowned.
"Alright, kids. No bickering." City Lord Wang put an immediate halt to the argument before it could escalate.
Ye Tian Yun simply smirked at the Wang Yao and the glancing at Ling Qing'er, and he put forward his hand, "Princess Ling, let's go."
Ling Qing'er reluctantly nodded and put her hand on Ye Tian Yun's palm.
Ye Tian Yun smoked at her, and then turning towards Butler Liu, he said, "We should go. Are you planning to stay here for some time?"
"Hm? Ah, oh, no," Butler Liu came out of his thoughts and stood up from his seat.
"Let's go," Ye Tian Yun said to him and headed out, bringing Ling Qing'er with himself.
Wang Yao stared at Ye Tian Yun with unbridled killing intent.
Butler Liu took a deep breath and turned towards Heavenly King Wang.
But before he could say anything, the latter raised his hands and gestured to him to stop.
"Brother Liu, I won't come back," Heavenly King Wang said, "I have already given up everything. But not anymore. My brother… only thinks of me as a tool, and you should remember that I was the one who got blamed for that incident years ago and was even stripped of my own heritage."
"How can you expect me to go back after all this?"
Wang Yao frowned and looked at his father.
He vowed to burn the Great Ye Clan to the ground and bring back his father's honor!
Because that's what the MC's do.
