"So, it's not that my father and mother lied to their elders, it's that they didn't know either," Ye Liuyun said with a slight smile.
After hearing this, the direct descendants quickly accepted the fact. After all, they were cultivators, not mortals, and they wouldn't dwell on something as trivial as gender.
"Since that's the case, there's no need to worry about it too much. After all, your wife doesn't care about this, so we elders are even less likely to care. But Yun'er, you need to think this through. Although cultivators don't care about gender, the laws of nature and human relationships are irreversible. Your relationship with Aoxue can't be known by too many people."
"Especially the Supreme Response Sect. If they knew that you and Aoxue were husband and wife, they would definitely try to sever your relationship," Bei Minglu reminded Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun was well aware of this.
After the whole matter was explained, Bei Mingluo and the others suddenly spoke to Bei Mingpiaoxu and the others.
"Piaoxu, you should go back first. We still have some things to discuss with Liuyun."
Upon hearing this, Bei Ming Piaoxu's heart jumped again.
"this?"
"Don't worry, we won't do anything to Liuyun. Although she has acted unfilially, we are not unreasonable people." Bei Mingbo interrupted his daughter.
"Mother, Father, you should go back first. Don't worry, I'm fine," Ye Liuyun comforted her.
Seeing Ye Liuyun's composed smile, the two calmed down a bit and then left the inner hall with Bei Ming Piaoxue and the others, leaving only the few people in charge.
“Liu Yun, you’ve been a woman for almost a hundred years, so we’ll treat you as one. Don’t worry, we won’t ask you for anything you’ve gained in this blessed land. But there’s something you need to tell us,” Bei Mingluo asked seriously.
Ye Liuyun could roughly guess what they wanted to ask.
“Grandpa Clan Chief, please ask. I will answer any question I can,” Ye Liuyun replied.
"Well, first of all, did you obtain Senior Xue Mingyu's Heaven-Rank Magic Treasure?" Bei Mingluo asked.
No one from other factions obtained this magical artifact, and Ye Liuyun was the first to arrive at the treasure vault, so it must have been Ye Liuyun who took it.
Ye Liuyun didn't hide anything and simply flipped his hand to take out the Snow Jade Cold Heart Flute from his storage ring.
“This magical artifact is indeed with me, and it has already recognized me as its master. If Grandpa Clan Chief wants me to hand it over, then I’m sorry, even if I were willing, this artifact could not recognize a second person as its master. I hope you, Grandpa Clan Chief, are aware of this,” Ye Liuyun said.
Upon hearing this, Bei Mingluo and the others' expressions changed. They couldn't understand how Ye Liuyun could make a Heaven-Rank magic weapon recognize her as its master. Once a weapon recognizes its master, it cannot recognize a second master unless the master dies.
They originally intended to ask Ye Liuyun for it, since this treasure was the other half of Xue Mingyu's inheritance. If Bei Mingxuan did not have this item, he could only be considered to have obtained an incomplete inheritance.
Looking at the magical artifact held in Ye Liuyun's hand without any reaction, Bei Mingluo and the others could tell that this item had indeed recognized its master; otherwise, Ye Liuyun wouldn't have been able to hold it like this.
"Oh dear! How could this be? Liu Yun, your cousin Bei Mingxuan obtained the inheritance of the Blessed Land Grotto-heaven, but only half of it. It would be such a pity if he didn't have this item," Bei Minghantian said.
Ye Liuyun was taken aback when she heard this, but she still had no intention of giving the item to Bei Mingxuan, because their relationship was not good enough for that. This was a mid-grade Heaven-rank magic treasure, and she couldn't bear to part with it.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about that." Ye Liuyun shook his head regretfully.
Seeing Ye Liuyun shake his head decisively, Bei Mingluo and the others knew that it was basically impossible to get Ye Liuyun to hand over the item voluntarily, so they didn't continue to pursue the matter.
“Alright, then I can only say that your cousin didn’t have the good fortune. There’s one more thing, what was the deal with that snake demon that was with you back then?” Bei Mingluo continued to ask.
This is a rather complicated problem.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa Clan Chief, this is my secret, I can't tell you." Ye Liuyun decisively refused to answer.
"Hey? You little brat, you're still so cautious around us. Although you haven't been with the Beiming family for long, you are still a member of the Beiming family by blood. The family wouldn't risk leaking your secrets." Beiming Bo quickly reprimanded him.
However, Ye Liuyun could only say "sorry," which, to put it bluntly, meant he couldn't say it.
Seeing that Ye Liuyun was determined not to speak, Bei Mingluo and the others had no choice but to give up.
"Alright, where did the Northern Plains Demon King Bai Bing go? Was she defeated and captured by your powerful demon clan member? Also, I remember, the Northern Plains Demon King took you away from the Blessed Land, right? Don't tell me you don't know where she went," Bei Mingluo asked again.
They had many questions and needed to ask Ye Liuyun for clarification.
However, Ye Liuyun still couldn't explain this problem. She couldn't very well tell everyone that she had trampled the Northern Plains Demon King under her feet.
"Liu Yun, the matter of the Northern Plains Demon King is a huge problem. If it's not handled properly, the Northern Plains demon race will riot, and the entire Northern Plains will be massacred by the demon race." Bei Mingluo explained the seriousness of the matter.
Ye Liuyun thought to himself, "If you knew that the Northern Plains Demon King was right at my feet, what kind of expressions would you have?"
"Grandpa Clan Chief, I can only say that the Northern Plains Demon King is not dead. Beyond that, I still cannot tell you anything in detail." Ye Liuyun shook his head again.
Although he didn't finish his sentence, Bei Mingluo and the others understood that Ye Liuyun was telling them, "I know where the Northern Plains Demon King is, but I can't tell you the specifics."
"You? You little rascal, you really know your stuff! Oh well, you've asked enough questions, you can go back now." Bei Mingluo and the others knew that Ye Liuyun had a big secret, so they didn't dare to confront him directly.
As Bei Mingluo said, their relationship wasn't at the point where they could talk about anything, but they felt that given time, they could definitely get Ye Liuyun to hand over the treasure willingly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to the group, and left the inner hall.
As for Bei Ming Piaoxu and his wife, they were waiting anxiously outside. Bei Ming Piaoxue and the others were also waiting there until they saw Ye Liuyun come out.
"Here he comes out. Isn't this our filial nephew? He's so dutiful, beating up his aunt, uncle, and cousins all of them." Bei Ming Piao Xue teased as soon as she saw Ye Liu Yun approaching.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun was both amused and exasperated.
"Auntie, please don't bring this up. I'm also very embarrassed about this. I can guarantee that I, Ye Liuyun, am an extremely filial child. If I knew your identities, would I have laid a hand on you?" Ye Liuyun explained.
"Tch! Filial piety? Yeah, really filial piety, sigh! You're so filial to us! Luckily you know we're from the Beiming family and showed mercy. If you didn't know we were from the Beiming family, you probably would have been so filial that you sent our whole family away in one go." Beiming Piaoxue pouted and said unhappily.
"Cough cough! How could that be? I'm very kind. At most, I'll just knock you out and take all your belongings," Ye Liuyun said with an embarrassed smile.
These words were absolutely sincere, leaving Bei Ming Chengfeng and the others speechless.
And so, Ye Liuyun and his family of three went home first.
As for Bei Mingbo and his group, they felt that this matter was very complicated.
"This matter is difficult. If this little girl were just an ordinary person, everything would be fine, but now that she has the ability, she probably has no fear of our Beiming family at all. We need to come up with a foolproof plan," Beiming Luo murmured.
“Grandpa, are you not planning to let Liuyun leave our Beiming family? That’s not a good idea. If a conflict breaks out, it will completely ruin the relationship. I think that even if she doesn’t return to the Beiming family, she is still our Beiming family’s granddaughter and will definitely think about our Beiming family.”
“Besides, I think the reason she’s unwilling to hand it over right now is simply because she has no feelings for us. We can reason with her and appeal to her emotions to gradually make her feel a sense of belonging to the Beiming family, and then we can talk about other things,” Beiming Bo said.
They all fell into deep thought.
"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Make sure she stays at the Beiming family for a while longer, so that the younger generation of the family can get to know her better," Beiming Luo said.
With that, the matter was considered settled, and Ye Liuyun and his family of three returned to their residence with complete peace of mind.
"Ah! You scared me to death, Yun'er. Did your grandparents give you any trouble?" Bei Ming Piaoxu asked as soon as she returned.
"Don't worry, Grandpa and the others aren't unreasonable people." Ye Liuyun shook his head.
But at that moment, Ye Kai suddenly said something that was rather discordant.
"Don't be too happy yet. Your mother and her elders are only after something. You took so many treasures from them in the Blessed Land, I don't think they'll let it go so easily."
Although Ye Kai's words were somewhat harsh, Bei Ming Piaoxu, who was standing to the side, also felt that things were not so simple.
She understood better how the Beiming family operated; they valued profit more than kinship.
"Yes, Yun'er, be careful too," Bei Ming Piaoxu advised.
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way, that's all we can do. Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. At least I don't have to pretend to be a man anymore. To be honest, women from the 70s and 80s are used to this now," Ye Liuyun murmured.
After talking with her parents for a while, Ye Liuyun returned to the residence arranged for her by the Beiming family.
After all, she didn't have that much to say, and she didn't want to keep talking to her parents. She might as well take advantage of the time she had now to refine more pills.
However, not long after Ye Liuyun brought Ye Fei and the others back to the villa, strange things began to happen.
Just as Ye Liuyun entered her room, a vortex suddenly appeared above her head.
“Dimensional space fluctuations, little girl, be careful.” Lin Qingyou noticed the abnormality in the room immediately.
As soon as she said this, Ye Liuyun hurriedly looked up at the sky, but the next moment, a black hole appeared beneath her feet. Before she could say anything, she fell into the black hole, which then disappeared.
However, Ye Liuyun immediately fell out of the vortex above his head and landed on the ground.
"Huh? What's going on? Old man, are you kidding me? What kind of lousy pill is this? Didn't you say it could open up a parallel dimension and let me find another version of myself? Why do I feel like I'm still in the same place?" Ye Liuyun complained.
As soon as she made that comment, a flash of white light appeared, and then a white-haired, white-robed old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom appeared in the room.
Strange, Ye Liuyun only has Lin Qingyou by his side, where is this old man?
“This place should be the same timeline where the other you was last time. However, it’s impossible for two identical people to appear in the same world. Last time, timelines overlapped, which allowed you to meet. This time, a dimensional channel was opened, allowing you to come here. At the same time, the other you was probably teleported to our timeline.” The old man stroked his beard and observed the surroundings before speculating.
No need to think further, the spirited woman in front of me, dressed exactly like Ye Liuyun, is Ye Liuyun from another time and space. They even exchanged pills before.
Ye Liuyun encountered a major problem in his own timeline that he couldn't solve on his own. So, he used a special elixir he had developed to open a time-space passage and arrive in this timeline.
"What? Then why did I come here? Old man, hurry up and think of a way to get me back." Ye Liuyun couldn't help but roll his eyes.
After saying that, she took out the special pills she had refined again, preparing to return to her original time and space, but was stopped by the old man.
"Kid, are you stupid? Didn't you come here to find your other self and get that elixir that can turn a man into a woman? If you go back now, you still can't avoid being forced into marriage. And the you here definitely won't accept this marriage. She should be over there trying to help you resolve the crisis. Go back after the trouble is over," the old man reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun from another timeline's perspective brightened up.
"That's right, I definitely don't like men here, so he'll definitely be extremely resistant to this marriage. Perfect, let me see what's going on with the Beiming family in this timeline, and whether they're as outrageous as those in my timeline." This Ye Liuyun, with his masculine personality, kept laughing strangely.
The parallel universes of Ye Liuyun and others share roughly similar life paths, differing only in the details.
Ye Liuyun from this other timeline also came to Beiyuan to find her parents, but after the Beiming family learned that she was a girl, they were furious and forced her to abide by the previous agreement between the two families and marry into the Beiming family.
The Beiming family used her parents as leverage, and the Ye family had breached the contract first, making it difficult for Ye Liuyun to resolve the matter with violence. After all, she wasn't ruthless enough to wipe out her mother's entire family.
However, Ye Liuyun in this timeline is in trouble, and she never expected that she would have to help her counterpart in another timeline clean up her mess.
Chapter 483 Another Dilemma of Mine (5000 words + 1700 monthly votes bonus chapter)
Then there's Ye Liuyun, who was transported to another time and space.
"Master, what's going on? Where is this place?" Ye Liuyun was currently uncontrollably traversing through a colorful passage, feeling as if he were traveling through time and space.
Because all around him were strange and bizarre fragments of images, which felt both unfamiliar and familiar to Ye Liuyun, as if they were things he had experienced, yet also quite different from his own.
"Little girl, this is a time tunnel, and you've fallen into it," Lin Qingyou said with a solemn expression.
These words startled Ye Liuyun.
"What? This can't be that outrageous, can it? So, I'm traveling through time? Strange, I haven't refined any earth-shattering pills. Hey, this scene, isn't this the scene where the space overlapped at Yunxia Sect and I encountered several other versions of myself? What does this mean?" Ye Liuyun saw a fragment intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Qingyou made a guess for a moment, and then she knew what was going on.
"I reckon it's your other self from another timeline who opened a time tunnel to come find you, but due to the rules of time and space, it's impossible for two identical versions of yourself to exist in one world at the same time. So you were transported to their timeline," Lin Qingyou guessed.
The Immortal Realm is a higher-dimensional spacetime, on a different level from the spacetime of the Divine Continent, which is why Lin Qingyou knows many things.
"Huh? It's the me from another timeline who's behind this? Are you kidding me? What trouble has he run into that he's coming to me for help?" Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes.
Soon Ye Liuyun fell from the time tunnel and landed steadily on the ground. However, after landing, he found himself back in the room where she was.
"Huh? What's going on? We're back again?" Ye Liuyun looked up and down, then looked around.
This room was exactly the same as the one she was in, which puzzled Ye Liuyun. With that, Ye Liuyun walked out of the room.
The courtyard was the same one she had lived in before, but she didn't find anyone else there, and there were many guards from the Beiming family standing outside the courtyard.
"Huh? Where's Xiaofei? Where's Wanling? Why are they gone?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.
"Stop shouting. You're no longer in the previous timeline. This is another timeline of yours," Lin Qingyou reminded her.
Ye Liuyun was stunned. She had no idea what trouble her other self had encountered, and she was inexplicably teleported here. This was too abrupt.
"I have a bad feeling about this?" Ye Liuyun said, and walked towards the gate of the villa, but as soon as she opened the gate, she bumped into an invisible wall.
"Ouch, what is this thing?" Ye Liuyun was hit on the head, and then quickly looked at the Five Elements Wall in front of him.
Upon knocking, they discovered an invisible energy barrier that sealed off the main gate, or more accurately, sealed off the entire villa.
"What the hell is going on? Let me out!" Ye Liuyun pounded on the barrier.
With that knock, someone quickly came to Ye Liuyun's side.
“Miss, the head of the family said that you cannot leave this courtyard before you and Young Master Xuan get married,” the two guards from the Beiming family said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun understood what was going on. No wonder her counterpart from another timeline wanted to ask her for help.
But asking for her help shouldn't be done in this way, right? What's the point of bringing her to this time and space?
"This? It seems that the Beiming family in this timeline has chosen a rather radical approach," Ye Liuyun muttered to himself.
Although she didn't know exactly what troubles her own version in this timeline had encountered, she first needed to determine which version of herself had run into serious trouble.
"Don't overthink it. This should be the timeline where you, the one who exchanged pills with you, are located. The timelines where the two of you are located are the closest, belonging to twin parallel timelines. Generally, twin parallel timelines encounter mostly opposite events," Lin Qingyou explained.
"Oh, it's that me who doesn't want to accept becoming a woman. If that's the case, then it's indeed the opposite. The Beiming family in my timeline doesn't seem to be too forceful, so in his timeline, they must have a forceful attitude, since he came to this world as a woman." Ye Liuyun muttered to herself.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Liuyun closed the door again, then retreated to the courtyard and sat down.
Since she's already here, she definitely has to help her other self solve some problems.
