Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Chapter 303: The Qingyue Saintess — Ye Yuemei

Cyan Moon Sword Sect, Traceless Sword Mountain.

BOOM—

The entire ancient Sword Mountain suddenly began to tremble.

Then, a beam of Immortal Light, like a peerless Flying Immortal, shot into the sky.

Within the Immortal Light, Ye Yuemei, clad in white, seemed to be bathed in peerless divine splendor. Her entire being emanated an energy aura that stirred the very soul.

"Mei’Er, congratulations!"

Xiao Qingxuan flew out, her eyes sparkling. As she gazed at Ye Yuemei, her beautiful eyes filled with boundless excitement.

Her disposition had always been incredibly cold and detached; she rarely showed such strong emotion.

But over the past few days, a series of events had occurred, one after another, that had left her breathless!

For instance, there was the incident ten days ago when Ye Tianling wreaked havoc on the Dragon Race. It had moved her deeply, her heart swaying with his every action. She had almost lost herself to the worldly charm of this peerless, extraordinary man, unable to pull herself away!

And after learning Ye Fengyang’s true identity, she was even more shocked and filled with immense regret—regret that she had missed out on such a peerless man all those years ago.

It turned out that Ye Fengyang’s pride back then had been truly innate, not the empty arrogance of an incompetent braggart.

And in this, how similar was he to Ye Tianling’s current situation?

As she thought of these things, Xiao Qingxuan’s excited heart gradually calmed and grew somber. ’A generation’s Unparalleled Divine Son, in the end...’

’Even if I wanted to, I’m afraid this can’t be hidden from Ye Yuemei any longer...’

Especially now. With the help of the Saint Master of the Cyan Moon Sacred Land, Ye Yuemei had cultivated her Extreme Cold Sword Body to the stage of Great Success and had successfully awakened her Extreme Cold Bloodline. She had even comprehended the *Void Ancient Scripture* and the "Supreme Virtue is Like Water" Sword Dao—arts no one on Traceless Sword Mountain had grasped in ten thousand years. She had already stepped into the Nine Transformations of Sword Void Realm and was about to face her Tribulation!

’She has reached the level of a Saintess.’

"Master."

Ye Yuemei descended and bowed respectfully to Xiao Qingxuan. The usual icy look on her pretty face was gone, replaced by a profound gentleness.

"Junior Sister, congratulations!"

"Mei’Er, congratulations."

"Senior Sister Mei’Er, congratulations!"

Just then, from not far away, Yun Zhiruo, Xiao Qingzhu, and Xiao Qingzhu’s disciple, Lin Qingxi, flew over together.

Although Lin Qingxi had also made great progress, she was only at the Sword Spirit First Heaven Realm, and the gap between her and Ye Yuemei was now even wider.

Upon seeing Ye Yuemei, Lin Qingxi looked like she was about to say something, but she immediately stopped when Xiao Qingzhu gave her a gentle nudge.

"Master Qingzhu, Junior Sister Qingxi."

The gentleness on Ye Yuemei’s face did not diminish; in fact, it grew, and her beautiful eyes held a smile.

She seemed very happy.

’It’s because I’m finally qualified to be the Saintess,’ she thought. ’My word will be law in the Cyan Moon Sword Sect, and I can finally bring Brother Tianling over to be with me.’

"Mhm, Mei’Er, you’ve reached the Sword Void Nine Transformations... and you’re about to face your Tribulation, aren’t you? Have you received the official Saintess Order from the Cyan Moon Sacred Land yet?"

Xiao Qingxuan asked in a gentle voice.

The look in Yun Zhiruo’s eyes was complicated, and she was filled with emotion, but she also said nothing.

It was just that her gaze, as she looked at Ye Yuemei, held a trace of envy.

Her own strength was by no means low, as she had already stepped into the Sword Void First Transformation Realm, but the gap between her and Ye Yuemei—who was at the Nine Transformations of Sword Void Realm and about to face her Tribulation—was now immense.

But she was not jealous.

It was common for any genius below the Ancestral Realm to leap across multiple Realms in a single step once a great opportunity arrived.

The world was never short on opportunities or chance encounters; the key was being able to seize them.

"I got it, Master! I received the official Saintess Rule Order back when I was at the Sword Void First Transformation Realm. Right now, I can become the Vice Sect Master of the Cyan Moon Sword Sect, or go to the Cyan Moon Sacred Land to be the Saintess. I completely skipped the candidate list!"

Ye Yuemei was overjoyed, her eyes curving up like crescent moons, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

Her raw emotion and the look in her eyes made Xiao Qingzhu and the others feel a swirl of complicated feelings.

Xiao Qingxuan showed a hint of joy and excitement, but her smile was clearly forced.

She moved in a flash, blocking Xiao Qingzhu and the others to face Ye Yuemei directly. "Mei’Er, tell your Master, have you... have you forgotten Ye Tianling? You were comprehending the Path of Emotionlessness, severing your emotions. Did you sever them?"

As Xiao Qingxuan asked this, her voice was trembling!

Yes, at this moment, she was filled with immense regret and immense worry.

She was worried that Ye Yuemei had severed her feelings for Ye Tianling. If she had, it would be a tragedy of epic proportions!

At this moment, Xiao Qingxuan had no intention of currying favor, nor was she impressed simply because Ye Tianling was the Divine Child.

Rather, it was because the projection of Ye Tianling’s battle against the Dragon Race had been broadcast across the world for all to see.

The scenes of Ye Tianling—his unyielding pride, his hair turning white for love, his heart breaking for that same love—were more than enough to make him the kind of peerless man that any woman would desire!

If Ye Yuemei missed out on such a man because of her interference, Xiao Qingxuan’s conscience would never be clear for the rest of her life!

Even though Ye Tianling had already undergone the Transformation Dao and was gone, it was still critically important whether or not Ye Yuemei had severed her Emotions.

Naturally, Ye Yuemei was unaware of Xiao Qingxuan’s inner thoughts.

She had been in seclusion and knew nothing of what had transpired in the outside world.

Hearing her Master’s words, she let out a soft sigh, a look of shame appearing on her face. "Master, I’m sorry. I deceived you. The truth is, I could never sever my feelings! All of my motivation comes from Brother Tianling. I promised him I would fulfill his wish—to let him be a ’kept man,’ to provide for him.

Now that I’m strong enough, I’ll be a Saintess the moment I enter the Holy Land. I’m going to bring him to the Cyan Moon Sacred Land and give him the best resources for his cultivation!"

Her words were filled with boundless anticipation.

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh, right, where is Ye Cangqian? That three-year pact for a battle? There’s no need to wait three years. I’ll avenge Brother Tianling right now!"

Her eyes flashed with eagerness, filled with extreme confidence.

Her words made tears well up uncontrollably in the eyes of Xiao Qingxuan and the others.

"Do you know... why you skipped the list of Candidate Saintesses and were made a Saintess directly? After all, you’re only at the Sword Void Nine Transformations; you don’t even meet the basic requirement for a Candidate Saintess, which is the Sword Tribulation Realm."

Xiao Qingzhu said suddenly, her voice choked with emotion.

"Is it... not because I possess a Strong Heart?"

Ye Yuemei was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Xiao Qingxuan and the others shed tears, she thought it was because her Master and the others were disappointed that she still hadn’t been able to sever her emotions.

Though she felt ashamed, she had no regrets.

"No. Your talent is a good reason, but it’s not the main one. The main reason is because... Ye Tianling is your Brother Qing. Anything related to him... has now become an honor."

Xiao Qingxuan said, her voice trembling.
