Qin Xiyue gestured with her hand, causing the two black strings to fly back into her body. After a short while, she gazed at Tang Ye and said, “Are we only friends?” “Are we not?” Tang Ye hadn’t finished speaking when Qin Xiyue suddenly embraced him, and then she pressed her red lips against his lips. Such a scene didn’t continue for long. Qin Xiyue had merely pecked his lips lightly before moving away. After that, she smiled as she said, “Little Brother, you’ve accomplished your objective. Big Sister has truly been moved by you. Look, Big Sister was moved to the point of almost giving herself up to you!” Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed bitterly when he recovered from his shock and said, “Don’t do that in the future.” Even though it was he who gained, he felt that it wasn’t right. As for what wasn’t right, he was unable to put his finger on it, and it was merely a feeling.... “Looks like you’re quite loyal to that person you like!” Qin Xiyue smiled as she said, “Little Brother, looks like Big Sister has to educate you on polygamy in the future. Otherwise, you’ll definitely abandon Big Sister for that woman!” “Let’s not speak about all of this!” Tang Ye shook his head and said, “Let’s split up right here and right now. You return to the Grand Qin Empire first because I still have some matters to attend to in the Grand Myriad Mountains. Right, if I want to contact you in the future, how would I go about doing that?” “You intend to stay in the Grand Myriad Mountains?” Qin Xiyue restrained the smile on her face and frowned as she said, “If I’m not wrong, then at least three Spirit Realm experts are pursuing us right now. Even though you have that mysterious little fellow to conceal your aura, it doesn’t represent that you’re absolutely safe. What if they catch up to you? You would be in huge trouble!” Tang Ye grinned and said, “It’s fine, even an Exalt Realm expert wouldn’t dare go to the place I intend to go to. That place is absolutely safe. As for you, even though the Grand Myriad Mountains doesn’t pose any danger to you, you have to watch out for that nephew of yours after you return to the Imperial Capital. I don’t want something to happen to you before you’ve even started to establish the organization.”“So long as I return to the Imperial Capital, then I’ll have plenty of ways to deal with him!” A cold light flashed in Qin Xiyue’s eyes. Tang Ye said in a low voice, “Don’t do anything stupid. If you make an appearance right now, then he’ll definitely use your mother to threaten you. There’s no rush to save your mother for now. I’ll be participating in the Ascension Rankings a few months from now, so how about we make plans to rescue your mother then?” “You’re participating in the Ascension Rankings?” said Qin Xiyue with surprise. Tang Ye nodded and said, “I’ll be representing the Sword Sect during the Ascension Rankings, and it’s extremely important!” “But you said you aren’t a disciple of the Sword Sect....” “I’m not representing the Sword Sect for the sect, and it’s for a single person in the Sword Sect instead!” said Tang Ye. “A woman?” asked Qin Xiyue. Tang Ye nodded. Qin Xiyue continued. “That woman you like?” “Can we not discuss this?” Tang Ye was slightly speechless. “Of course!” Qin Xiyue smiled and said, “But Big Sister is very curious. Exactly what sort of woman is capable of making Little Brother constantly think of her! Alright, don’t put on such a face, I won’t speak about this anymore. Actually, since you said you’re going to participate in the Ascension Rankings, then Big Sister will wait for you at the Imperial Capital, and if you’re able to ascend into the Ascension Rankings, then it would be much easier for me to rescue my mother!” “The more outstanding I am, the greater your hopes of rescuing your mother are?” asked Tang Ye. Qin Xiyue nodded and smiled. “Of course. After all, I eloped with you. If you’re able to ascend to the top 20 of the Ascension Rankings, then even the imperial household would be unable to nitpick about you. At that time, I would rise in status because of you. So, not only would the imperial household avoid punishing me, it would even attach importance to me. This can’t be helped, this is reality. When someone possesses potential or value, then all the mistakes of that person would become meaningful things....” Tang Ye really wanted to say that his objective wasn’t the top 20 but the first.... However, he thought about it for a moment and didn’t say anything in the end. After all, this objective seemed to be too unusual.
