Su Qingmeng looked up, her peach blossom-like eyes rippling slightly, and she nodded with a chuckle, softly agreeing, "Okay, no problem."
Su Hongye turned to look at Jiang Ye, her expression becoming serious again: "Ye'er, this person's origins are unknown, his methods are strange and extremely dangerous. Although I don't know why he attacked you, it's certain that he is an enemy of the Jiang Clan."
She changed her tone, then gently persuaded, "Let Mother take you back to the Jiang Clan, okay? The matters of the Ancient Immortal Domain are too complex, it's not worth you taking the risk."
Su Qingmeng, who was beside them, also nodded in agreement, her tone even more direct than Su Hongye's: "Ye'er, listen to your Mother. You can cultivate peacefully back in the clan, and Aunt Meng will definitely snatch that innate immortal liquid back for you, ensuring you don't suffer any loss."
Jiang Ye lowered his eyelids, remaining silent.
He knew this care came from his closest and dearest.
But he also understood that if he retreated to the Jiang Clan now and no longer involved himself in the matters of the Ancient Immortal Domain, he might only grow up in a greenhouse his entire life, forever just a protected Divine Son of the Jiang Clan, never able to become a true powerhouse.
The world is full of turmoil; how can one avoid it for a lifetime?
Prudence is indeed a way of survival, but if one harbors timidity and settles for inaction, how can one step onto the Supreme Path?
Prudence is always right, but one must not be cowardly!
Jiang Ye remained silent for a long time, thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind in an instant.
His gaze was steady, his expression calm, and he said lightly, "Mother, Aunt Meng, the matters of the Ancient Immortal Domain are likely of great importance."
"I always feel that there is my Karma here, and my Opportunity."
"I still don't know why that assassin wanted to kill me, but I vaguely feel..."
"Upon closer thought... if it's not deep-seated hatred, then it's out of apprehension."
"The man's final threatening intent before he died was very obvious..."
"Thus, he wanted me to feel danger and force me to leave the Ancient Immortal Domain... it might not be that he wanted me to retreat on my own, to keep me away from certain truths."
"If that's the case, then I absolutely cannot leave."
Hearing this, Su Hongye and Su Qingmeng both paused, their expressions changing slightly.
Su Hongye narrowed her eyes and said, "Ye'er, what else do you know?"
Although Jiang Ye hadn't fully sorted out his thoughts.
But a strange premonition lingered.
He knew that the assassin's background was definitely not simple.
But he didn't think this person was some Protagonist of Destiny.
On the contrary, the Qi on that person was too ancient, too heavy, as if he had walked from the depths of Chaos, carrying the shadow of epochal Reincarnation.
Not like a protagonist, more like a villain.
The existence of a villain always collides with the Protagonist of Destiny, and a name suddenly surfaced in Jiang Ye's mind.
"Ye Qingyun."
After all, with his current way of thinking, what he could consider was.
"If I'm not mistaken, this person is hiding his identity, stirring up trouble, plotting some world-shaking Treasure Trove or ancient immortal secret in the Ancient Immortal Domain, and is colluding with the remnants of Fire Lotus City..."
"The remnants of Fire Lotus City might just be his tools..."
"The subsequent plot..."
"Presumably, it's because he got entangled with Ye Qingyun, the Protagonist of Destiny..."
"The ultimate outcome is likely that Ye Qingyun, through various Opportunities and coincidences, will cause all of this villain's schemes to come to naught, with all the results becoming a wedding dress for Ye Qingyun."
Jiang Ye pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Mother, I suspect this person is also plotting the innate immortal liquid in the Ancient Immortal Domain."
"After I arrived here, I first encountered the Fan Family's alliance with Ye Qingyun, then the remnants of Fire Lotus City, and in between, the Taiwei Star Palace also got involved..."
"There must be some connection among these..."
"There must also be deeper secrets behind it..."
"Perhaps it's precisely because of this that the person felt threatened and launched the assassination, wanting me to voluntarily withdraw before understanding the truth."
"In that case, I absolutely cannot leave."
"Moreover, now that I'm prepared, it won't be so easy for the other party to assassinate me again."
Su Hongye and Su Qingmeng looked at each other, Jiang Ye's reasons were too far-fetched.
But Su Hongye sensed that after Jiang Ye's assassination, his entire demeanor had changed.
It could also be considered a tempering of his character.
After a long silence, Su Hongye finally nodded, her tone still soft, but carrying a mother's helplessness and tolerance: "Alright, I'll indulge you this once."
"If you truly want to stay in the Ancient Immortal Domain, Aunt Meng will protect you, and Mother will also secretly monitor your movements."
Her gaze turned cold as she looked into the distance: "As for the mastermind... I have now memorized his Qi, and when Mother's main body comes out of seclusion, if he dares to show his face, I will personally grind him to dust."
Su Qingmeng froze for a moment, then narrowed her eyes at Su Hongye, her tone playful: "You are... a Clone right now?"
Su Hongye nodded.
Jiang Ye was startled and couldn't help but say, "Mother, so both figures you sent to the Ancient Immortal Domain are Clones?"
"Mm," Su Hongye responded faintly.
Su Qingmeng's mouth twitched, her expression slightly complex, her tone low: "My dear sister... it seems you're really about to enter that Realm? Your main body is in seclusion, isn't it?"
Although Su Qingmeng's tone was teasing, it also carried a hint of undeniable melancholy.
Su Hongye looked at her, with her slightly lowered eyelashes and aggrieved tone, and couldn't help but smile.
How could she not know the grievances her sworn sister had harbored all these years?
Years ago, the two of them rose from obscurity, traveling together, and she was slightly more skilled.
Later, with the invasion of foreign races and the upheaval of the world, Su Qingmeng, in order to stabilize her Dao foundation, did not seek a Breakthrough during the dark turmoil, missing the best Opportunity for advancement, and thus fell too far behind.
Su Hongye sighed softly, reaching up to rub her forehead: "Alright, I'll get you a few good treasures later, will that do?"
Su Qingmeng, however, snorted coldly: "No, I want you to no longer interfere with my time with Ye'er."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye immediately gasped.
Aunt Meng was challenging his Mother's bottom line!
Indeed, Su Hongye's beautiful face instantly turned frosty, her Phoenix eyes like sharp swords, staring intently at Su Qingmeng, with murderous intent.
For a long time, the Void Realm seemed to be frozen, utterly silent.
Su Qingmeng, however, remained motionless, no sign of retreat in her eyes, as if she had long grown accustomed to this chill.
Finally, Su Hongye's expression shifted slightly, and she eventually sighed, retracting her coldness, her tone faint: "Forget it, forget it, with you by Ye'er's side, I am at ease."
Although her tone was faint, she felt a pang in her heart.
Though Su Qingmeng was not her blood relative, she was the closest person to her in this world.
Her own sister, with so many years of friendship... I treated you as a good sister, yet you have the nerve to lay hands on my precious son?
Su Hongye finally spoke: "I will give you a few Immortal Artifacts for protection later."
"However, you must not let Ye'er suffer such danger again, otherwise, I will not forgive you!"
Seeing Su Hongye finally state her position, Su Qingmeng's lips curved into a smile: "Don't worry, before it was because we weren't prepared. Who would have thought that person would dare to act so audaciously even with both of us present?"
"Hmph! Going against the norm, taking an unorthodox path, such a person will sooner or later bring about his own destruction."
Su Hongye nodded, gently stroking Jiang Ye's hair, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Then, her figure moved slightly, and she stepped into the Void Realm, her crimson robes dissipating like a ray of light.
