CHAPTER 485: CHAPTER 480: THE MYSTERY OF ONE’S ORIGIN

Xing Zhan Tian was startled by the Sky Demon King who appeared from the void.

He immediately looked at him with a heavy gaze, and his Divine Sense gradually reached out towards him, but unexpectedly, it was rebounded when it was still three feet away, as if hitting an invisible wall.

"With your lowly cultivation, you still dare to probe me?" The Sky Demon King’s eyelids moved, casually glancing at Xing Zhan Tian, with a cold snort, he said, "If not for my master’s interference, you would have been dead already!"

The aura of the Sky Demon King, as boundless as the ocean, crashed against Xing Zhan Tian, who was like a precarious little reef. He stared with wide eyes, extremely shocked!!

"You... you all, you bastards, Xiaozi is already like this, and you still want to capture her."

"You all deserve to die miserably, blinding her and killing her entire family!!"

Unexpectedly, after thinking for a moment, Xing Zhan Tian’s eyes turned blood red as he roared at the Sky Demon King, looking extremely furious.

Ye Tian smiled bitterly. It seemed that Xing Zhan Tian had misunderstood them, but from his words, he learned that Xiaozi’s eyes were blinded by someone.

"Sky Demon, go back for now."

Ye Tian waved at the Sky Demon King. The Sky Demon King nodded and then disappeared into the air again.

"Xiaozi, dear, wait here for a moment." Ye Tian gently squeezed the hands of the two women, smiled warmly, and said, "Old Zhan, how about we step outside for a chat?"

"Alright, I want to hear what you have to say!"

Xing Zhan Tian looked at Ye Tian with caution. To have such a powerful Martial Artist as a guard, his status must be extraordinarily high. His visit to the Star Sect surely had some ulterior motives, making Xing Zhan Tian initially think he was Xiaozi’s enemy seeking revenge.

"Alright then, let’s go." Ye Tian stood up and made a gesture of invitation. However, he had already noticed the sorrow in Xiaozi’s heart, but soon his eyes lit up as he said, "Old Zhan, what’s the meaning of holding onto this? Give it to me."

"Xiaozi, dear, here, you each have one."

Ye Tian showed a bright smile, took the two candied hawthorns from Xing Zhan Tian’s hand, and placed them into the hands of the two women, completely ignoring the fuming Xing Zhan Tian beside him.

They were supposed to be his! He had prepared one for Xiaozi and one for himself, but he didn’t expect Ye Tian to steal them to flirt with the girls, especially with that beautiful teacher who seemed quite close to him.

....

"Old Zhan, tell me, what happened to Xiaozi?"

Ye Tian put away his smile, looking at Xing Zhan Tian seriously. This concerned Xiaozi’s background, and he had to be cautious. He wanted to find out who was so cruel to blind such a pure and kind girl.

"Don’t... don’t address me so intimately. I’m just a weak person who can’t handle such familiarity."

"If there’s any questioning, it should be me asking you why you came to this small place of mine, and with what intention?"

"If you intend to harm Xiaozi through me, just give up. I won’t say a word."

Xing Zhan Tian’s eyes gleamed with a hint of coldness. Before he could ascertain Ye Tian’s intentions, he wouldn’t reveal anything about Xiaozi’s identity, for it would cause great calamity if he did.

"Old Zhan, you don’t need to be like this. My visit to the Star Sect, and meeting Xiaozi, is purely by chance." Ye Tian smiled lightly, not showing any dissatisfaction with Xing Zhan Tian’s words. It showed that he genuinely wanted to protect Xiaozi.

"However, when I saw Xiaozi, I felt that I must help her. I am confident that I can heal her legs."

Ye Tian said with a smile, throwing out a bombshell at Xing Zhan Tian, catching him off guard and leaving him breathless with excitement.

"What? You said you can cure Xiaozi’s legs!!" Xing Zhan Tian’s face turned red as he grabbed Ye Tian’s shoulders and shook him vigorously, "But, how can I trust what you’re saying is true, especially since you haven’t even disclosed your real identity!!"

Xing Zhan Tian’s excited heart slowly calmed down. Having weathered over forty years of storms, he had only lost control momentarily due to Ye Tian’s words because he cared too much about Xiaozi. In retrospect, he realized it could just be empty words.

When he brought Xiaozi back, he tried every possible way but couldn’t even figure out why her legs had lost vitality, let alone treat them.

"Alright, I can tell you my real identity, but don’t get too excited." Ye Tian revealed a slightly sinister smile and said, "My real name is Ye Tian..."

Before he could finish, Xing Zhan Tian was already stroking his chin, murmuring, "I see... but I’ve never heard of a Ye Tian. Could it be the Ye Family? But even the Kunlun Ye Family isn’t so powerful to have Primordial Martial Realm guards!"

"I also have an alias, by the name..."

"Chen... Bei... Xuan!!!"

Seeing Xing Zhan Tian’s contemplative murmuring, Ye Tian decided to say it quickly before his thoughts drifted away!!

"Chen Beixuan? Why does that sound familiar??"

"Chen!"

"Bei!"

"Xuan!!!"

"You’re the fourth on the Kunlun Divine List, the Young Martial Venerate, Chen Beixuan!!!"

Xing Zhan Tian raised his head suddenly, staring at Ye Tian, feeling as if he were struck by a mighty blow, utterly astounded, his body trembling violently.

At first, he thought Ye Tian was just a young master from a prominent family, possibly here for Xiaozi’s beauty. But how could he have ever imagined that the top genius of Kunlun, the illustrious Young Martial Venerate, would stand right before him?

"Old Zhan, do not be agitated or doubtful." Ye Tian’s calm reaction showed he had expected such a reaction, and he smiled, "I am the Young Martial Venerate, but Ye Tian is my real name."

"Now, you can tell me everything about Xiaozi without any reservations, and I will certainly help her."

With that, Ye Tian turned to look at the closed door, his eyes filled with deep affection and tenderness.

They say that kneeling before Buddha for five hundred years earns a single glance from your beloved in this life.

This time, a beautiful girl had found her savior, a man willing to go through hell and high water for her.

"Sigh, I have let Xiaozi down!"

Xing Zhan Tian snapped out of his shock, heaved a deep sigh, his face looking incredibly weathered. The once energetic middle-aged man now looked like an old man in his twilight years.

"I don’t know much either. Years ago, I accepted the task from a life-and-death brother to bring Xiaozi with me."

"My brother was dying at the time and told me that Xiaozi was not from Kunlun, but from above."

"She was his daughter, and he entrusted her to my care. When I accepted her, I was furious. A six-year-old girl, with her eyes all bloody."

"From Xiaozi, I learned that my brother’s wife was from another plane, relentlessly pursued by her family to Kunlun."
