The Son of the Great Emperor is Also Left Behind?

"Father, let's call off all seven of these Imperial Daughter marriage contracts."

Outer Heavens, within the Imperial Court.

Imperial Son Ye Xuan pushed seven golden decrees across the table.

"Call them off?!" Above the imperial throne, Great Emperor Ye Cangtian's imperial might surged. "For that Mortal Body girl in the Lower Realm, you would abandon the alliances with the Seven Great Imperial Clans?"

"During this Mortal Tribulation, I met Yunxi." Ye Xuan rose, his gaze like torches. "Although she is just a mortal, she is different from the Imperial Daughters. I must marry her."

Ye Cangtian laughed in extreme anger, "What a sentimental fool! So, you intend to honor that bet?"

"That's right!" Quasi-Emperor aura roiled around Ye Xuan. "When your son descended to the Lower Realm with a Mortal Body this time, if Yunxi is willing to marry me within three years, Father will allow her to enter the Imperial Clan!"

"Good!" Ye Cangtian flung his sleeve, and the Great Emperor's pressure overwhelmed the entire Imperial Palace. "If she truly doesn't mind your Mortal Body being useless, what harm is there in this Great Emperor granting her a great fortune?"

"Thank you, Father."

Ye Xuan lowered his head and knelt.

"Hmph!" A cold light flashed in Ye Cangtian's eyes. "Then tomorrow, you will enter the Eye of the Netherworld, have your Nine Lightning Tribulation Heavenly Body stripped, and be banished to the Lower Realm!"

"This can also be considered an explanation to the Seven Great Imperial Clans!"

The next day, ten thousand venerables gathered. Imperial Son Ye's Immortal Body was utterly shattered, and he fell into the mortal world.

Lower Realm, Barren Continent Northern Region, a small town at the foot of the Azure Mist Sect.

Inside a dilapidated wooden house, Ye Xuan put on the scarlet wedding robes he had prepared long ago.

Three years had passed since he was stripped of his Immortal Body and cast into this Lower Realm with its thin spiritual energy.

Three years ago, dragging this body even weaker than a mortal's, he had finally found Yunxi, who had moved to the Barren Continent's Northern Region after enduring countless hardships.

Ye Xuan told Yunxi that his family had suffered disaster, his talent and cultivation had been crippled, and from now on, he was also a mortal who could grow old with Yunxi.

Yunxi was only slightly stunned and puzzled at the time, and didn't say much.

Ye Xuan was very moved by this. He stayed by her side, caring for her in every possible way.

But two years ago, Liu Yunxi suddenly awakened her talent. Her Flowing Cloud Treasure Body amazed the Sect's talent selection, and she was directly accepted as a personal disciple by the Sect Master and named Saintess.

And today was the day of their wedding, agreed upon three years ago.

As long as today passed, he could win the bet with his father and take Liu Yunxi back to the Upper Realm, never to be separated again.

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, walked to the water tank, and splashed a handful of cold water on his face.

The face reflected in the water, although pale, was still handsome.

Although these three years had been bitter, it was worth it.

After tidying up his appearance, Ye Xuan left the dilapidated house and set foot on the mountain path leading to the Azure Mist Sect.

Yesterday, Yunxi had sent a message through an inner Sect disciple, telling him to be sure to go to the Azure Mist Sect today.

Even though Yunxi had become a Saintess, she had not forgotten their marriage agreement, which warmed Ye Xuan's heart.

As for the inner Sect disciple's contemptuous gaze at the time, he simply pretended not to see it.

The mountain path was rugged and steep, and for his broken body, it was extremely difficult.

He walked and stopped, and sweat soaked his clothes.

Along the way, he encountered many cultivators heading to the Azure Mist Sect, some driving magical artifacts with dazzling light, and others riding spiritual beasts galloping past. Seeing him, a "mortal" walking with such difficulty, they all cast surprised and contemptuous glances.

"Tsk, what kind of riffraff can come to the Azure Mist Sect to observe the ceremony now?"

"Looking at him, a gust of wind could blow him over!"

"Forget it, forget it, today is the Azure Mist Sect Saintess's great day, why bother with this mortal..."

The discussions were unreserved, and Ye Xuan heard them in his ears, but he sneered in his heart, simply assuming that these people didn't know that Liu Yunxi's great day today was marrying him!

Mortal!?

So what if he's a mortal!?

Once today is over, he will still be the Great Emperor's direct son!

Finally, the Azure Mist Sect's magnificent mountain gate came into Ye Xuan's view.

At this moment, the mountain gate was wide open, with guests like clouds, lively and extraordinary.

The gatekeeper disciples checked the invitations.

When it was Ye Xuan's turn, he gave Liu Yunxi's name.

The disciple was stunned, looked him up and down, his eyes became strange, and he snorted from his nose, "Oh, so it's you? Senior Sister ordered it, come with me!"

The mockery in the disciple's tone was undisguised, and he led Ye Xuan into the Sect, but not to the observation platform where the guests were gathered, but around to the edge entrance.

"Here, just stay here! This is what Senior Sister specifically instructed!"

"Close, and clear view!"

The disciple chuckled and turned to leave.

Ye Xuan stood in place, a growing sense of confusion in his heart.

This didn't seem to be the right place for a wedding, and the entire process felt off.

"Perhaps the Azure Mist Sect has its own arrangements."

Ye Xuan shook his head, then took out a Peach Wood Talisman from his pocket.

This talisman was one of a pair, the other in Liu Yunxi's possession. Ye Xuan had crafted it from the Ancient Peach Tree when he was in the Upper Realm.

It was also thanks to this talisman that Liu Yunxi had awakened her Treasure Body-level talent two years ago.

At this moment, the guests gradually filled the high platforms on both sides, and Ye Xuan, conspicuous in his wedding attire, immediately drew everyone's attention.

"Who is that!? It's Saintess Yunxi's joyous day, and he's wearing wedding clothes?"

"Exactly! He looks like a mere mortal. What's he doing standing there?"

"A monkey in a crown, what a joke!"

Mockery rose like a tide, threatening to drown Ye Xuan.

But Ye Xuan simply placed the Peach Talisman in his sleeve and looked up towards the main peak of the Azure Mist Sect.

I wonder how Yunxi is preparing. She should look beautiful today!

Dong, dong, dong!

Finally, the sound of bells and drums echoed from deep within the Sect.

A group of Azure Mist Sect elites descended from the main peak amidst the drifting clouds and mist, lining up on both sides of the main road in the square.

Then, a stunningly beautiful figure appeared before the main peak.

She wore a red dress, her beauty unparalleled, her long black hair dancing like a waterfall.

"Yunxi!"

Ye Xuan's eyes lit up.

Even though it had been a year since he last saw her, Liu Yunxi had become even more beautiful and captivating.

More importantly, she had also changed into wedding clothes!

But Liu Yunxi, surrounded by attention, merely stood there, looking down at Ye Xuan at the end of the square from amidst the rosy clouds.

Her gaze was indifferent, and with just one glance, she resolutely looked away.

Yunxi's gaze shocked Ye Xuan, filling him with a sense of unfamiliarity.

Just as Ye Xuan was feeling confused, another figure appeared beside Liu Yunxi.

He was handsome and extraordinary, like a Dragon among men!

His gaze was arrogant, sweeping across the entire scene, and when he saw Ye Xuan, his contempt and disdain were undisguised!

What made Ye Xuan's pupils shrink was that this person was also wearing a Dragon-patterned wedding robe!

"Holy Son Xiao Chengfeng and Saintess Yunxi truly are the unparalleled pride of the Azure Mist Sect!"

"A match made in heaven, they will surely become a legendary couple in the Northern Region!"

"Holy Son Xiao has a Fifth-Grade Spiritual Body talent, and he's about to undergo the Heavenly Gang Realm Thunder Tribulation. It's truly a double blessing!"

"That's right! Holy Son Xiao is about to advance to the Heavenly Gang Realm, which will be enough for him to defeat the Violet Firmament Sect prodigy at the Sect Assembly in a month and allow the Azure Mist Sect to advance to a First-Rate Sect!"

In an instant, the guests' praises echoed across the square.

Holy Son Xiao?

A match made in heaven!?

But Ye Xuan frowned slightly.

What did this mean?

There were actually three people wearing wedding clothes in the Azure Mist Sect?

"Yunxi, now that everyone is here, it's time for you to make a decision."

Behind Liu Yunxi, the Azure Mist Sect Master, dressed in a green dress, furrowed her brows.

Only then did the former reluctantly look down at Ye Xuan below again.

"Ye Xuan, today is the day of my engagement to Brother Chengfeng!"

Her ethereal, cold voice echoed across the Azure Mist Sect square.

"You and I, from now on, have nothing to do with each other."

In an instant, everyone's gaze converged on Ye Xuan
