Xiao Yi and his family of three, along with Su Qin, stopped in their tracks, exchanging bewildered glances.
Su Qin's mouth hung open so wide, it seemed she could fit two eggs inside.
Not long ago, she had dreamed of her granddaughter, Su Xiao, being accepted into the lineage of the Holy Emperor. Now, was that dream about to come true?
Was Ye Hongyi's master the Holy Emperor?
Xiao Yi and Su Yao looked at each other, never having imagined that Ye Hongyi's sect was so powerful.
"No wonder she could produce so many Nine Revolutions Life Renewal Pills as if they were free." Xiao Yi felt a sense of relief. He had been wondering if he was truly a descendant of an Immortal King's power. Now the truth was revealed. No matter how strong his ancestor was, he couldn't possibly compete with the Holy Emperor.
"No wonder Li Lao Liu was fearless. It turns out he had someone backing him." Su Yao recalled her first meeting with Li Beifei. He had given her the impression of someone who didn't know the immensity of the world. Looking back, it wasn't that he didn't know; it was that he knew his master was higher than the heavens and thicker than the earth.
"They really hid it well." Xiao Yi and Su Yao exchanged a glance, sharing the same thought.
Ye Hongyi and Li Beifei had achieved fame at a young age, yet no one knew they were disciples of the Holy Emperor. They had indeed kept it well hidden.
"Hehe, in that case, my precious granddaughter might really be able to join the Holy Emperor's lineage?"
Su Qin suddenly chuckled, feeling a sense of unreality as her dream came true.
"Mom, control your expression!" Su Yao quickly reminded her. In front of outsiders, her mother, Su Qin, was a proper and serious person. But only she, as her daughter, knew that her mother was a bit of a goofball at heart.
It was just that the Su family's traditions were strict and didn't allow her to be one.
"I can't help it, I can't help it." Su Qin composed herself, regaining her usual dignified demeanor.
Xiao Yi was seeing his mother-in-law so out of character for the first time. He scratched his head, then his face changed. "Then, wasn't it a waste to use the life-saving trump card that my ancestor gave me, summoning him here?"
"Uh..."
Su Yao and Su Qin's expressions also froze.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after hearing Ye Hongyi's words, the Su family's old ancestor's expression changed unpredictably. No wonder she found the name 'Longevity Great Emperor' somewhat familiar. That was because the Longevity Great Emperor was the Holy Emperor's imperial title. However, now that the mortal realm all revered him as His Majesty the Holy Emperor, the Longevity Great Emperor's presence seemed lower.
Since the emergence of the Mirage World, the creatures of the Azure Flame World had naturally learned about and come into contact with the history of the mortal realm.
The Su family's old ancestor's granddaughter's expression changed even more drastically. She had actually wanted to teach the Holy Emperor's disciple a lesson? How dare she? If the Holy Emperor were to find out about her actions today, would he be angry at their entire Su family? At that time, she would be a sinner of the Su family.
Thinking of this, she, whose cultivation had already reached the True Immortal stage and was immune to heat and cold, felt a chill from the inside out, shivering.
After some deliberation, the Su family's old ancestor greeted them with a smile.
"So it's the Holy Emperor's personal disciple gracing us with your presence. Forgive us for not welcoming you properly!"
At this moment, the Su family's old ancestor didn't seem like a high and mighty Immortal King, but rather a subordinate welcoming a superior, with a complete 180-degree change in attitude from before.
"San Kui, quickly apologize to Immortal Fairy Hongyi!" The Su family's old ancestor looked at her granddaughter, Su San Kui.
Hmm... it sounded like the name of a peasant who often went up the mountain to chop wood, but it was the name of the Su family's third most important figure.
Su San Kui quickly came before Ye Hongyi, bowed ninety degrees, and said, "I'm sorry, I was blind and offended Immortal Fairy Hongyi. Please forgive me."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Seeing the Su family's old ancestor suddenly become so enthusiastic and Su San Kui apologizing to her, Ye Hongyi didn't know what to do and could only say it was okay.
After all, Ye Hongyi wasn't someone who liked to bully others with her status. If it were Li Beifei, he would definitely handle this kind of scene with ease.
The Su family's old ancestor was someone who had seen countless situations and immediately realized that Ye Hongyi wasn't someone who liked to bully others with her status, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least San Kui was okay.
"May I ask, Immortal Fairy Hongyi, what brings you here today?" the Su family's old ancestor asked.
"I..."
Ye Hongyi was just about to say her purpose when suddenly, a powerful aura descended.
"Su old woman, give me some face, and don't make things difficult for that little girl!"
As soon as the words fell, a heroic and upright middle-aged man appeared.
"Immortal King Yuhua, why are you here?"
The Su family's old ancestor looked at the person who came and revealed his name.
At this moment, Xiao Yi wished he could find a hole to hide in.
"Never mind why I'm here. I'm just asking if you can give me some face," Immortal King Yuhua said.
The Su family's old ancestor glanced at Xiao Yi, whose face was awkward, and knew what was going on. She was both angry and amused, and at the same time, she felt a little gratified. This kid wasn't a heartless person.
"Old codger, this is none of your business. Go back where you came from." The Su family's old ancestor glared at Immortal King Yuhua, obviously still bothered by the phrase "Su old woman."
"That won't do. I promised my... cough cough, you have to promise me not to make things difficult for this little girl." Immortal King Yuhua glanced at Xiao Yi, whose face was awkward, and didn't reveal that Xiao Yi had called him here.
Even if it was guessed, as long as it wasn't revealed, it had nothing to do with Xiao Yi.
"Alright, alright, I promise you. Hurry up and leave." The Su family's old ancestor said, then waved Immortal King Yuhua away as if shooing away a fly.
"If you don't agree, then we'll fight... what, you agreed?" Immortal King Yuhua looked at the Su family's old ancestor in disbelief. He had been prepared to fight the Su family's old ancestor, but he didn't expect the Su family's old ancestor to agree so readily.
He had known the Su family's old ancestor for countless years and knew her personality. Although she didn't have a fierce reputation, women were, after all, a little stubborn.
"Are you trying to trick me?" Immortal King Yuhua looked at the Su family's old ancestor suspiciously. Although it was reasonable for the Su family's old ancestor, as an Immortal King, to keep her word, don't forget that the Su family's old ancestor was a woman, and the Su family was full of women.
A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!
"You..."
The Su family's old ancestor was furious upon hearing this. Old codger, if Immortal Fairy Hongyi wasn't here, I would definitely beat you up.
"Cough cough, Ancestor, this is what happened..."
Xiao Yi finally couldn't stand it anymore and rushed over to explain to Immortal King Yuhua.
Then another shocked face appeared!
"Greetings, Immortal Fairy Hongyi!" After all, he had seen the world and quickly recovered from his shock, then bowed gracefully to Ye Hongyi.
"Immortal King Yuhua, you don't need to be so polite." Ye Hongyi had learned his name from the previous conversation.
"Good for you, Su old woman, you wanted me to leave so quickly because you wanted to get on the Holy Emperor's good side alone?" Immortal King Yuhua secretly transmitted his voice to the Su family's old ancestor.
The Su family's old ancestor ignored him and continued the previous topic.
This time, no one stopped Ye Hongyi. She looked at Su Yao, came to her side, and naturally hugged Su Xiao. Su Xiao didn't cry, but instead stared at Ye Hongyi with wide eyes, giggling and reaching out to grab Ye Hongyi's chest.
"Little girl, you're not being honest." Ye Hongyi suppressed Su Xiao's restless hands.
The Su family's women were speechless with tears in their eyes when they saw that Su Xiao didn't cry. They knew that if they wanted to hold her, Su Xiao would cry her eyes out.
"I came here mainly to take Su Xiao as my disciple."
Take her as a disciple?
The Su family's women looked at each other. Did she need to make such a big fuss to take a disciple?
However, they had no objections to this.
They couldn't wait for Su Xiao to be accepted into the Holy Emperor's lineage. If Su Xiao joined the Holy Emperor's lineage, wouldn't that be equivalent to their Su family being related to the Holy Emperor?
In the future, when the Holy Emperor's Palace unifies the heavens and myriad realms, their Su family might even be granted a great world!
Thinking of this, the entire Su family was extremely excited.
And then, on the day of Su Xiao's first birthday, with the help of the entire Su family, she performed the disciple acceptance ceremony to Ye Hongyi and officially became Ye Hongyi's personal disciple.
...
