He Belongs to That Lineage: Di, the Di in Great Emperor

Shangguan Qing'er's eyes were filled with bewilderment.

When Shangguan Zhen saw her, he felt a pang in his heart.

"Father, Qing'er."

Shangguan Wan'er came in.

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's voice, Shangguan Qing'er closed her eyes.

She turned her head away.

Shangguan Zhen sighed.

"Let's go out and let Qing'er have a good rest. She hasn't rested once all these years. Every time she cultivated, she left herself covered in wounds."

"Now she can finally lay one worry to rest."

Shangguan Zhen left.

Shangguan Wan'er's lips moved hesitantly.

She wanted to say something, but looking at Shangguan Qing'er's back, she sighed, regret in her eyes, and left.

At that moment, Di Juetian was sitting in a pavilion.

He was admiring the moon in the sky.

His body seemed to blend into the night that enveloped him.

"Since you're here, come over."

Di Juetian spoke without turning his head.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Di Juetian.

"Young master, did I really do something wrong?"

Di Juetian sneered inwardly.

Don't you have a fucking clue whether you were wrong?

If you really knew you were wrong, you wouldn't be here asking me.

However, this matter also concerned him.

"You did nothing wrong."

Hearing that, Shangguan Wan'er froze for a moment.

Then she looked at Di Juetian, but he said nothing more.

Shangguan Wan'er grew a little anxious.

What do you mean, stopping halfway through?

But seeing that Di Juetian had no intention of speaking, Shangguan Wan'er was too embarrassed to ask.

"Young master, you didn't help Qing'er just for my sake, did you?"

Hearing this, Di Juetian would have slapped her to death if he hadn't felt that Shangguan Wan'er was still somewhat useful and that his plan had yet to be put into action.

He would have slapped her to death.

"What I do is none of your concern."

"Don't forget your place."

Di Juetian truly didn't want to speak to this female protagonist of fortune anymore.

Because Shangguan Qing'er was about to arrive.

"Go back."

"I'll leave tomorrow."

After saying this, Di Juetian stopped looking at Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er's face turned pale.

"Yes, young master."

After Shangguan Wan'er left,

Shangguan Qing'er came over.

She looked at Di Juetian, gratitude and a certain inexplicable expression in her eyes.

"Thank you, young master."

Di Juetian shook his head.

Shangguan Qing'er was a little bewildered.

"What happened today was the result of your own efforts. Even without my help, you would surely have won."

Hearing Di Juetian's words, Shangguan Qing'er's face lit up.

"Young master, may I ask whether your next plan can now be put into action?"

"The time isn't ripe yet."

By the time Di Juetian's voice faded, he had already vanished.

Shangguan Qing'er had a complicated look in her eyes, along with a trace of disappointment.

She lusted after Di Juetian.

Di Juetian wasn't interested in her.

But when she thought of the plan ahead, Shangguan Qing'er felt joy along with her complicated feelings.

At that moment, in a small town a hundred li from the Shangguan Lineage.

The little town was full of poetic charm and picturesque beauty.

Here, one could see sunset clouds and a lone wild duck flying together, the autumn waters and the boundless sky sharing a single hue.

That was why the town was called Colorblind Town.

This was because the town's founder had a slight problem with his eyes.

Inside a room in an inn.

A young man had a bewildered look in his eyes.

On closer inspection, traces of demonic Qi appeared on his body from time to time.

"Wake up."

An icy voice rang out.

"Master."

Xiao Yu came to his senses from his trance.

He looked shaken.

"Alas."

An old man appeared and sighed as he looked at Xiao Yu.

"This failure was a good thing, too. Things went too smoothly for you before. Ever since you could cultivate again, you've forgotten the time when you were a waste."

"Others looked down on you, yet you kept fighting with all your might."

"Now look at yourself. What remains of the person you used to be?"

"Have you forgotten what you said before? Weren't you going to stand at the pinnacle of the world? Weren't you going to refine a physical body for me?"

"Master, I was wrong."

Xiao Yu came to his senses and took a deep breath, his expression calming.

"Master, why do you think that young master let us leave?"

"Could he have taken a fancy to some treasure I have?"

Hearing this, the old man's eyes filled with disdain.

"Boy, you don't yet know what the Upper Realm is like. You'll find out in the future."

"I sensed a familiar presence on him. If I'm not mistaken, he should be from that lineage."

"Which lineage?"

"Di."

"Di, as in earth?"

"Di, as in Great Emperor."

As the old man said the word, he concealed his body.

"Master, surely there's no need to be so cautious."

"You don't know shit, boy. A lineage like that has powerful cultivators who can sense it whenever someone, somewhere, mentions their lineage."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu sucked in a breath of cold air.

"By the way, Master, do you know how strong that young man is?"

"Didn't you feel it yourself?"

"Me?"

"When did I feel it?"

"When you asked to borrow my power, that Shangguan Qing'er borrowed the young man's power."

"So I lost to that person from the Di Lineage."

"Not to Shangguan Qing'er."

"When you borrowed my power, the one you faced was Shangguan Qing'er."

The old man looked at Xiao Yu, a somewhat relaxed expression appearing on his face.

For some reason, he was angry that Xiao Yu wasn't living up to expectations.

Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yu fell silent.

"Don't belittle yourself. You possess the Fire God Body, and with my help, you won't be any worse than that young man in the future."

Xiao Yu fell silent.

No worse than that young man—that was all he said.

He understood what his master meant.

"By the way, Master, when that young man took you away, what did he make you do?"

The old man was also puzzled when he thought of it.

That young man's guardian had appeared and seized him, then let him return an hour later.

Even now, the old man was completely baffled.

"Nothing."

The old man gave his answer.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu betrayed nothing, but on closer inspection, disbelief could be seen in his eyes.

"It's best if nothing happened."

Xiao Yu added immediately afterward.

The old man had, after all, been in the Sage Realm in his previous life. Looking at Xiao Yu, how could he fail to see the little fellow's thoughts?

But the old man paid it no mind. After all, Xiao Yu had experienced too little so far.

He wasn't mature enough. In time, he would understand that the old man was doing it for his own good.

"Master, is that opportunity you mentioned still there?"

For some reason, Xiao Yu suddenly grew nervous.

No one knew whether that young master had colluded with his master, or anything else.

"It's still there. Don't worry, I haven't told anyone about that place."

"But you'd better think it through."

"That place has ties to demons."

"Master, whether demon or human, as long as one holds justice in one's heart, one walks the righteous path."

Xiao Yu's eyes were resolute as he said this.
