Ye Qingxian Does Not Believe Explanations

The atmosphere in the forbidden area grew increasingly oppressive.

Ye Qingxian didn't answer immediately because she suddenly thought of Ye Xiaoyao.

When a girl is questioned like this, does she feel the same way as she does today?

The watchful gazes from nearby intensified, and Ye Qingxian immediately shook her head slightly.

But there was one difference.

Junior Sister had it, but she didn't...

What were these people thinking?

Ye Qingxian was startled again.

She seemed to have been thinking about Junior Sister a little more often lately.

As Ye Qingxian was contemplating, a sharp question interrupted her thoughts.

Seeing the young woman spacing out despite the gazes of countless Ye family elders, the Ye family patriarch, who had been trying to maintain his composure, became furious. "Ye Qingxian, you are truly outrageous! To be daydreaming now, with such a casual attitude towards your elders, lacking even the most basic respect. You are unworthy of being the sole young master designated by our Ye family."

"It's you... who are overthinking. When have I, Ye Qingxian, ever lied?" Ye Qingxian hesitated for a second, lifted a corner of her sleeve, revealing a red mark. "I was just considering whether this cross-realm Deduction Array, set up with fifty-six steps, could also be wrong."

The patriarch and countless elders stared, gasping in unison.

It was the Guardian Sand.

That's right.

An imprint made from ten thousand years of Guardian Sand, signifying Yuan Yin not lost.

But this array—

Everyone's gaze involuntarily shifted upwards.

The array was still operating stably, and the drop of essence blood hadn't been completely consumed. A blurry point of light could be seen suspended in the air.

Like a legendary star in the night sky, hazy and beautiful.

"This—"

An Elder tugged fiercely at his beard, his composure gone. "Something's not right."

"I've lived for over ten thousand years, and I've never heard of such a situation."

"According to the deduction results, there is clearly still a dearest relative who has not yet been born, but doesn't the young master's womb not contain a fetus?"

"Strange, truly strange."

"A bizarre occurrence once in a million years."

The patriarch also pondered for a long time. "As the saying goes, only with the union of yin and yang can the continuation of life be completed. This is the basic operational logic of the Heavenly Dao rules, and theoretically, there shouldn't be any problems."

After a heated discussion, everyone unanimously concluded that the array must have malfunctioned, leading to the appearance of a blurry point of light.

Therefore.

It couldn't be definitively concluded that Ye Qingxian's parents were both deceased. A more meticulous Deduction technique would be needed.

"It's not necessarily the result that's problematic." Everyone turned towards the voice and saw an elder with white hair and beard, radiating an immortal aura, stepping through the air in white robes.

"Grand Elder."

"Greetings, Grand Elder."

Many elders of the Ye family bowed simultaneously.

The Grand Elder, who had been in seclusion, was actually alarmed, indicating the magnitude of the incident.

He was among the oldest generation in the Ye family, a super ancient being who had lived for over a hundred thousand years. His status in the current Cultivation World was second only to the Wuya Sect's Nine Supreme Venerables.

Great Powers were already quite rare, and Venerables were even rarer in the world.

Any Venerable was capable of stirring up worldly affairs, overlooking the vast changes of countless years. The presence of any one of them had once dominated the rise and fall of an era, leaving behind thick volumes in the annals of history.

Venerables were exactly the Supreme Realm's supreme powerhouses.

There were a total of sixty-six realms.

The Supreme Realm was the sixty-first realm.

The Great Dao, pursued by countless beings across the eons, had its ultimate peak at the Supreme Realm.

As for whether there were stronger beings, some speculated that the Sect Master of the Wuya Sect might be, while others said that the other two Supreme Sects might also have them, but no one had ever found evidence, nor had anyone ever seen the Sect Master of the Wuya Sect.

What realm were the Wuya Sect elders in?

The Great Powers, revered by the world, corresponded to only the fifty-ninth realm.

The gap between the fifty-ninth and sixty-first realms was immense.

It was almost a matter of black and white.

Basically, all powerhouses stopped at the Great Power realm, finding it difficult to advance further in their lifetime.

And this Grand Elder of the Ye family was a sixtieth realm Quasi-Supreme powerhouse. A casual stomp of his foot could cause galaxy destruction and minor world collapse, making him an invincible expert capable of making the entire Cultivation World tremble.

Ye Qingxian also bowed, saying, "This junior greets the Grand Elder."

The old man in white was refined and amiable, and immediately helped the young girl, who had not yet finished her bow, to stand up.

"I heard many people came to the forbidden area. Are so many shameless people blocking my granddaughter to do something?"

"She is angry in her heart right now because she resents me for her parents' affairs, so she doesn't acknowledge my identity as her grandfather for the time being. But that doesn't mean I don't acknowledge her as my granddaughter. If I find out anyone dares to bully the small, don't blame me for bullying the big back."

"We wouldn't dare."

"This junior wouldn't dare." A group of people trembled.

The old man in white, Ye Kong, withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and continued in a deep voice, "There will be a blurry point of light, and another possibility is that one of this child's parents is still alive, but is trapped in a Secret Realm with a different space, which is why the specific location cannot be deduced and their own point of light is dim."

Ye Qingxian stood with her hands hanging down. Since Ye Kong arrived, she had been very quiet.

She looked at the point of light about to dissipate in the sky, and her gaze flickered.

Is the answer really as the Grand Elder said?

The dearest relative is a blood relative of the second generation.

Her grandfather's generation already falls into the third generation, so he is not within the scope of the deduction.

She had actually always had a premonition that her parents might have already passed away. This time, she returned to perform the deduction simply to put an end to her long-held obsession, but she did not expect to encounter such a bizarre scene.

As Ye Kong's speculative words fell, the other elders and the clan leader nodded in agreement.

This was the only explanation that made sense.

Only Ye Qingxian's gaze was somewhat dazed; she did not fully believe it.

Could it be.

She really had an unborn child?

How could that be possible?

Ye Qingxian shook her head with a hint of self-mockery, suppressing this unrealistic fantasy.

She was a girl.

Could a fairy carry her cub?

That's too ridiculous.

However.

The doubt and suspicion in her heart were still planted like a seed.

Like a tiny seed, it would quietly break through the soil at the most opportune moment and grow into a towering tree.

When the night was deep and quiet.

Ye Qingxian tossed and turned for the first time, her mind uncontrollably recalling yesterday's scene.

Whether it was her dearest relative in the Secret Realm or other circumstances, they left an indelible mark on Ye Qingxian, a young girl who had not been cultivating for long.

The next day.

After a night of maintenance work on the formation, Ye Qingxian squeezed out another drop of essence blood.

The result was still the same, and the blurry point of light was even brighter.

Someone stammered to fill in the conversation, "Perhaps one of the young master's parents is gradually leaving the Secret Realm now."

Ye Kong stroked his white beard and said with his usual composure, "Indeed."

How could his precious granddaughter have a baby that was out in the world and unborn?

It's fake, everything is fake.

Therefore, only this possibility remained.

Ye Qingxian was slightly silent.

She pursed her lips, her eyes staring blankly at the sky.

The unchanging truth of the Cultivation World: even if one's wisdom could surpass all ancient and modern people, how could they possibly conceive of a person who could become pregnant out of thin air as a female cultivator like Ye Qingxian?

The subtle feeling that had always existed in Ye Qingxian's heart.

It was probably because she never believed in ambiguous conclusions.

She believed more in the possibility of everything, and that only evidence could explain the cause and effect.
