The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 20: Stacked Cultivation

With Ye Ming's goal being more concerned with those affected by his past self-decision, he chose to resolve this particular issue first than the Heavenly Dao System.

After all, the system was intangible and had no feeling, but humans do. Even if they were cultivators, emotions were still the key aspect.

"Mother?" Ye Ming raised an eyebrow and asked again. "Are my maids punished or what?"

He couldn't help but have a sense of bad premonition based on her reaction.

If they were punished, then she would have been honest and admit to it. But if they were not, then why wouldn't she say it?

The only possibility was that they were dead.

The dead can't be punished after all.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity despite being only a few seconds, Ye Qing Lei sighed softly.

"It's not that they were punished or not." She spoke in a melancholy tone. "When the maids received news of your drastic action, some—if not most of them were unable to handle the news."

Having said that much, Ye Qing Lei didn't want to be the one to reveal the matter. Thus, she turned her attention to Qing Lan.

Upon meeting her gaze, Qing Lan wanted to curse her aloud. 'Not again. I don't want to get reprimanded by the Young Master.'

Everything about Ye Qing Lei was perfect, but when it involved her son, the perfect became filled with flaws.

Flaws that occurred to fulfill or satisfy Ye Ming's wish.

"Come on, spill the bean." Annoyed, Ye Ming stared at her. "Please don't be like some characters who constantly stall and stall, only to reveal at the last moment that it wasn't that interesting."

Having been an author, his greatest tactic was to stall the readers with a bunch of filler word counts, then hit them with a mega cliffhanger.

The readers raged, but so what? They were gullible enough to still fall for it over and over again.

However, Ye Ming didn't wish to experience that feeling so he urged her repeatedly. Thankfully, Qing Lan also didn't plan on concealing the info.

"The maids aren't punished or dead. It's just that most of them blame themselves for allowing the Young Master to feel so down." Qing Lan said and sighed.

"Although most of them believed you would return, they decided to leave the Celestial Eternal Dimension and venture into other worlds to recollect themselves. Since then, we have not heard a word from them."

"Eh, so they're just MIA?" Ye Ming twitched his mouth.

Was that it?

They just went on a journey but they acted as if they all committed suicide or something.

"Also, we're literally at the end game here. Just because we have not heard a word from them, we can easily find them." Ye Ming said with a confused look. Like what kind of dumb plotting was this?

Endgame cultivator can't find a specific cultivator or maids in this case?

Then what was the point of being an endgame cultivator?

Meanwhile, Qing Lan held a bittersweet smile and explained, "It's not that we can't find them. It's the fact that we didn't bother to find them, especially when the Madam—"

Alas, Qing Lan couldn't even get to continue her explanation when Ye Qing Lei suddenly coughed.

"Ahem, I'll get them to be in contact upon your return, son. Why don't you take this time to familiarize yourself with your surroundings first? I'll go meet with your father and talk about your stacked cultivation." She said and vanished from the scene in the next instance.

It was such an abrupt exit that it took Ye Ming a few seconds to comprehend the situation.

"What was that about?" He pointed at the empty space where his mother disappeared and asked. "What were you going to say about her, Qing Lan?"

"Please let me live, Young Master." Qing Lan pleaded for mercy instead.

Seeing her like that, Ye Ming understood and nodded. It was one of those unspoken rules to not disclose a certain matter. Otherwise, death shall be awaiting them!

"Got it. Anyway, tell the rest of the maids that are still in this world to meet in my office. I'm going to give them an upgrade as repayment." Ye Ming declared. His mind didn't even bother about Ye Qing Lei's words, especially the stacked cultivation term.

Whatever it was, he was going to learn about it sooner or later. No point in questioning too many things.

"Understood, I shall get the others." Qing Lan obeyed the command with joy. So far, the maids that remained should have learned of his return but dared not show themselves unless permitted by Ye Ming.

After all, they were all guilty, and she was included as well. It was just that the past arrangement made her the one to attend to the Young Master at the estimated time of his return.

Once Qing Lan exited to search for the others, the Elder Dragon instantly felt a cold chill running down his spine.

"Please have mercy." The Elder Dragon began seeping out tears.

Having lived for so long, he already knew what was going to happen next. He would be wrung dry of his precious nutritious aspect to supply to his maids.

"I'm already giving you mercy. You just need to provide a bit and you can have freedom until I have a need for you." Ye Ming grinned wickedly. "Also, I only got maids. I don't have any male attendants. Isn't there the saying... serving the beauties is a gentleman's dream?"

'What kind of rubbish saying is that?' The Elder Dragon cried inwardly.

Alas, no matter how ridiculous that sounded, the Elder Dragon could only resign to the fate of being a nutrient supplier.

If any other dragons were to realize their oldest ancestor of the ancestor dragon was suffering such a fate. He might really want to hide himself forever.

...

Time went by like a flash, and within his office-like room, Ye Ming was informed of a very cliche news.

"Okay, so you're telling me all the maids are in closed seclusion?" He twitched his mouth and asked again to confirm the news.

"That is correct, Young Master." Qing Lan smiled bitterly. "They're all unwilling to show the Young Master their poor cultivation base, so they strive to work hard to be qualified to serve you."
