Chapter 538: I Don\'t Like You

Ye Guan asked in a low voice, "Is the Zhen Clan very powerful?"

Qin Guan nodded. "Our Time Pavilion has a few elites from the Zhen Clan. The Zhen Clan isn\'t exactly a strong clan, but they\'re masters of arrays. I once tried to invite them myself, but their clan leader refused my offer.

"I didn\'t expect that the Clan Leader of the Past Clan would be able to persuade them."

Ye Guan\'s expression darkened. "How many elites are working for her?"

"I don\'t know, but there are definitely countless of them. Come here; I\'ll take you somewhere."

"Where to?"

"You\'ll know soon."

Qin Guan brought Ye Guan and Erya to a teleportation array. They entered it together, and they soon arrived at the summit of a towering mountain.

The faint silhouette of palaces and buildings could be seen in the depths of the mountain.

Ye Guan was somewhat puzzled. "Where are we, Mother?"

Qin Guan was about to speak when a middle-aged man appeared in front of the three of them. He stared deeply at Ye Guan before his gaze settled on Qin Guan.

"Pavilion Master Qin, welcome back," said the middle-aged man.

Qin Guan smiled. "Master Tian, I\'m not here for you."

Master Tian frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Pavilion Master Qin?"

Qin Guan merely smiled.

Rumble!

The spacetime behind Master Tian was torn open, and a lady walked out of the rift.

Ye Guan was stunned upon seeing the lady, as she was none other than Ye Nanqing!

What is she doing here? thought Ye Guan.

Ye Nanqing stared wordlessly at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan walked up to Ye Nanqing and asked with a smile, "Lady Nanqing, you\'re a Tian Clan member in your past life?"

Ye Nanqing nodded slightly.

"I had no idea that you\'re from one of the Four Ancient Clans," said Ye Guan with a shake of his head and a smile. Then, he seemed to have recalled something as he opened his palm, revealing a storage ring. "Nanqing, this is for you."

Ye Nanqing\'s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. "What is this?"

"Take a look," Ye Guan said.

Ye Nanqing glanced at Ye Guan before opening the storage ring.

A wisp of deep red energy drifted out of the storage ring.

Ye Nanqing and Master Tian\'s expressions changed drastically.

It was a strand of Ancestral Origin!

Master Tian was visibly shocked. Fuck, this guy is giving out strands of Ancestral Origin upon meeting someone?

Erya\'s lips curled up into a smile. So this grandson of mine is trying to impress girls.

Qin Guan looked at her son, smiling with a hint of helplessness. She could sense that he had no ulterior motives and was only trying to express gratitude for Ye Nanqing\'s assistance. However, Ye Guan had no idea that his actions could make anyone out there misunderstand his intentions.

A man\'s extraordinary generosity would always fascinate a woman. After all.

And Ye Guan was more than just generous—he had decided to give away an entire strand of the most precious energy throughout the vast expanse like it was nothing.

Generous? More like outrageous!

Ye Nanqing was shocked, and she cast a disbelieving gaze at Ye Guan. "Is this for me?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

"Why?"

"If it hadn\'t been for your help, I would have died long ago. You saved my life, and is my life less precious than a strand of Ancestral Origin?"

Ye Nanqing shook her head. "You could have made it out alive even without me. I cannot accept this strand of Ancestral Origin."

Master Tian wanted to retort. He wanted to tell her otherwise. It was a strand of Ancestral Origin, after all, so it would be a huge pity if she was to reject such an offer.

A strand of Ancestral Origin would not only extend one\'s lifespan, but it would also greatly improve one\'s strength. It would be particularly beneficial for Ye Nanqing, as she had yet to recover her strength.

Ye Guan laughed bitterly. "Have we become so distant now?"

Ye Nanqing glanced at Ye Guan\'s bitter expression.

Ye Guan added, "I reached out to you for help against the Time Reversers back at the Eternal Night Empire, and you didn\'t hesitate to help me. You also helped me fend off the elites from the Diyi Clan. I\'ve never forgotten what you did for me.

"This strand of Ancestral Origin means nothing to me compared to our friendship."

Ye Nanqing\'s calm heart stirred at Ye Guan\'s remark, but she still shook her head and said, "This... this is just too precious."

Ye Nanqing\'s help was just a casual favor in her eyes, so she didn\'t really think too much of it. In other words, she felt wrong to exchange such a tiny favor for something as precious as a strand of Ancestral Origin.

Qin Guan\'s eyes flashed with surprise at Ye Nanqing\'s refusal. She pondered over Ye Nanqing\'s words and realized that Ye Nanqing\'s refusal meant that she wasn\'t expecting any repayment when she had decided to help him at the time.

Qin Guan shook her head and smiled. This rascal...

Ye Guan wanted to say something, but Ye Nanqing shook her head and said, "Stop. Don\'t say anything, or I\'ll get angry."

Angry? Little White blinked and looked at Erya with a face full of curiosity and puzzlement; she looked like she was asking why someone would get angry in the face of such a precious gift.

Erya licked her candied hawthorn and whispered to Little White, "They\'re in love..."

Little White blinked again, waving her tiny paws.

"Being in love means... I don\'t really know," Erya said helplessly.

Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. He decided not to force his gift on her and put away the strand of Ancestral Origin.

At the sight, Ye Nanqing finally smiled.

Meanwhile, Master Tian found it a pity that Ye Nanqing had rejected it. It was a strand of Ancestral Origin, after all! Master Tian felt as if his heart was bleeding.

Of course, he dared not say anything. Ye Nanqing\'s position in the Tian Clan was much higher than his position, even though he was the Clan Leader of the Tian Clan.

Qin Guan walked up to Ye Nanqing and said, "Lady Nanqing, to be honest, we came here in hopes of receiving help from the Tian Clan."

Ye Nanqing shook her head and said, "The Tian Clan has no intentions of getting involved in the enmity between the Past Clan and the Guanxuan Universe."

They couldn\'t afford to get involved.

"Lady Nanqing, you know that the Tian Clan will not be able to stay out of this matter forever. There will be a winner between us and the Past Clan. If you don\'t make a choice today, you will be in a disadvantageous position in the future."

Ye Nanqing fell silent. Indeed, it was impossible for the Tian Clan to stay out of this matter at this point.

The conflict between the Guanxuan Universe and the Past Clan had engulfed the entire Time River. Only forces that were overwhelmingly strong could choose to stay neutral and preserve themselves at the same time.

Otherwise, once a new order was established, whether the Past Clan or Guanxuan Universe emerged victorious, the Tian Clan would be put in a very awkward position.

If one didn\'t participate in the fight, why would the victors allow one to enjoy the fruits of victory?

It was also important to note that two of the Four Ancient Clans had already expressed their stance. If those two clans won their gamble, it would only be a matter of time before they annexed the Tian Clan.

The Tian Clan wouldn\'t be able to resist by then.

Ye Nanqing couldn\'t help but sigh. The war had engulfed the entire vast expanse.

Every major power wouldn\'t be able to avoid getting involved.

Ye Nanqing said, "The Past Clan has approached us."

Clearly, Ye Nanqing was trying to secure more benefits for the Tian Clan.

Qin Guan pointed out. "Lady Nanqing, aren\'t you married to my son?"

Master Tian turned to look at Ye Nanqing in shock.

Ye Nanqing remained calm and asked, "Young Lord Ye, did you reveal our arrangement to the Pavilion Master?"

"Lady Nanqing, if what you\'re doing is for the sake of the Tian Clan, I dare say that the best thing you\'ve done for the clan is getting married to my son."

Ye Nanqing frowned.

Qin Guan turned to Ye Guan and said, "Have a chat with Lady Nanqing."

Qin Guan then left with Erya and Little White. Master Tian hesitated for a while before he turned around to leave as well.

Ye Nanqing looked at Ye Guan without a word.

Ye Guan smiled and asked, "Shall we take a stroll?"

"Let\'s talk about business."

"What do you want?"

"What do you mean?"

"Whatever the Tian Clan wants, I promise to give it if I have it."

"Why would you go that far?"

"Because I don\'t want the two of us to become enemies."

Ye Nanqing\'s calm heart suddenly skipped a beat. However, she remained quiet as she stared at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan smiled and said, "I\'m serious."

After a few moments of silence, Ye Nanqing suddenly asked, "Do you like me?"

Ye Guan was stunned. He didn\'t think that she would be so straightforward.

However, Ye Nanqing begged to differ. She was strong enough to afford to be straightforward. Furthermore, she had been pursuing the Great Dao all her life, and romantic relationships had never been on her mind.

In other words, her inexperience allowed her to talk so easily about it.

Ye Nanqing stared at Ye Guan, waiting for the latter\'s response.

Ye Guan smiled and said, "Lady Nanqing, I\'ve come here to talk to you."

"Aren\'t we already talking? Or was my question too difficult for you to answer?"

"Lady Nanqing, I was truly grateful for your help when we were both in the Eternal Night Empire. I only said those because—"

"Stop. You don\'t have to say so many words," Ye Nanqing interrupted, "I just want you to answer my question. Let\'s be straightforward, shall we? I\'m busy with my cultivation, so if you don\'t like me, we can just pursue our own paths.

"I\'m not going to my time on something meaningless."

Ye Guan was speechless. Wow, Nanqing...

Ye Nanqing stared deeply at Ye Guan. "Is it that difficult to answer? We\'re all cultivators here. What\'s the point of beating around the bush?"

"All right," Ye Guan nodded. Then, he calmly said, "I don\'t like you."
