The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 910 - 907: Gai Dao

Ye Xuan stopped in his tracks, looked up at the scruffy old man flying in the air, and said indifferently, "Gai, you should know that I never go back on my word."

He came to this place, naturally to discuss matters with Gai Dao.

However, without saying a word, Gai Dao used the wine inside that gourd to test him. With Ye Xuan’s understanding of Gai, he knew what this meant.

Purely a test.

A test to see if Ye Xuan still has the qualifications to work with him.

Ye Xuan used his actions to prove he is still the Undying Night Emperor.

Even though Ye Xuan knew Gai Dao’s true intention, it doesn’t mean Ye Xuan agrees with this approach.

Because long ago, the two had more than one interaction.

If such a test was during the first encounter, it would be understandable.

But to do so now can be seen as ’kicking someone when they’re down’.

"To repay a visit with no return is impolite."

Since you tested me, I must also test you.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Gai Dao couldn’t help but smile wryly, saying, "Come now, we’re old buddies, talking about tests and whatnot is really hurtful."

"If that’s the case, then our deal ends here." Ye Xuan turned and walked away.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey?!" Gai Dao was suddenly anxious, quickly moved to block Ye Xuan, and conceded, "Emperor Ye, Emperor Ye, it’s my fault, okay? Don’t be upset."

Ye Xuan looked at Gai Dao with a calm expression and said unhurriedly, "Two choices: either let me test you or... give me your Sword Nurturing Gourd."

Gai Dao’s expression immediately froze, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, you’ve really been planning for my Sword Nurturing Gourd all along, that’s too much!"

Ye Xuan smiled indifferently, "You once said that if you make a mistake, you should admit it, especially between you and me, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gai Dao couldn’t help but scratch his head, saying, "Did I say that?"

"Damn it!"

Gai Dao spat a curse, reached into his bosom, and retrieved a half-palm-sized white jade gourd, reluctantly handed it to Ye Xuan, and said, "Alright, alright, this time it’s my fault, the gourd is yours."

"For heaven’s sake, quickly put that thing away,"

Gai Dao pointed at the old ghost’s willow stick in Ye Xuan’s hand and cursed irritably.

As he spoke, there was a trace of fear deep in Gai Dao’s eyes, although he tried to hide it, Ye Xuan clearly perceived it.

As expected, this guy Gai Dao is still very afraid of the old ghost’s willow stick.

"Alright, alright," Ye Xuan grinned and took the white jade gourd, then casually put away the old ghost’s willow stick.

Seeing this, Gai Dao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Truth be told, when he saw the old ghost’s willow stick, he was genuinely startled; others might not know how terrifying it is, but he knew it very well.

If he really got hit by it, even he would have to lie low for millions of years.

He certainly didn’t want to lie down for that long.

So, when Ye Xuan proposed to take the Sword Nurturing Gourd, even though he felt terribly reluctant, he still gritted his teeth and gave it up.

He knew Ye Xuan’s personality; if things got serious, he wouldn’t get the better end of it.

For countless millennia, those whose background was not weaker than Gai Dao have disappeared into history after becoming enemies with Ye Emperor.

In essence, he certainly wished to continue associating with Ye Emperor.

Though the Sword Nurturing Gourd is incredibly precious, in comparison, the benefits of continuing to associate with Ye Emperor are greater.

This point, he saw very clearly.

"Speaking of which, brother, you’ve changed a lot, haven’t you?" Gai Dao leaned closer to Ye Xuan and scrutinized him.

Ye Xuan played with the Sword Nurturing Gourd for a while, smiled, and said, "These aren’t important. Do you know why I came to find you this time?"

Gai Dao grinned and said, "The matter of Dao Chu Ancient Land?"

Ye Xuan slightly nodded, "Those ancient characters have emerged..."

Gai Dao’s smile disappeared, becoming very solemn. He waved his sleeve and sat cross-legged, gesturing Ye Xuan to sit down and talk.

Ye Xuan didn’t mind and sat cross-legged.

The two sat facing each other.

"The era we calculated back then has quietly approached..." Gai Dao said solemnly and slowly, "This era will either remain unknown forever or be praised by posterity for generations!"

"Which outcome do you want to see?" Ye Xuan looked at Gai Dao.

Gai Dao shook his head and said, "This matter is beyond our control; not just you and me, even..."

Gai Dao didn’t continue but pointed upwards, then said, "What we must do is seize more opportunities when that glorious time truly arrives, to face the future event."

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes, making it hard to discern his thoughts. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "What’s the Supreme Pavilion’s stance on this?"

Gai Dao chuckled, "Isn’t this up to the old man to decide?"

Ye Xuan thought of something and said, "By the way, let the people from the Supreme Pavilion have more interactions with the Immortal King Hall this cycle. The Dragon Raising Technique can be exchanged; it’s best to do so with the Sect Leader Supreme Wu Muchen of the Immortal King Hall."

Gai Dao was stunned for a moment and frowned, "The origin of this person..."

Ye Xuan raised his hand and said, "You don’t need to know for now; in any case, we’ll be fighting side by side later."

Gai Dao nodded and said, "Understood."

"Are you going directly to Dao Chu Ancient Land next?" Gai Dao asked.

"It’s about time; my wife is still inside." Ye Xuan said.

"Your wife? That fellow from Beiyao Shenwu?" Gai Dao asked in surprise, "How did you get involved with that fellow?"

"Not her." Ye Xuan shook his head.

"Then who is it?" Gai Dao asked puzzled, " surely it’s not that traitor who betrayed you, right?"

Ye Xuan gave Gai Dao a sidelong glance.

Gai Dao couldn’t help but rub his forehead, "Forget it, the old brother won’t inquire into your affairs."

"After I bring back those texts, I’ll take them to the Supreme Pavilion, where we can discuss them." Ye Xuan stood up, turned, and left.

"Alright, then the old brother will await your good news at the Supreme Pavilion." Gai Dao nodded.

As he watched Ye Xuan leave, Gai Dao couldn’t help but mutter softly, "This fellow actually found another wife, last time he was tricked by Changxi, he’s really bold."

"However, the old man thinks that Beiyao Shenwu is a good match for you, besides, you even gave her that name, so there’s nothing wrong with being together."

Gai Dao said with a chuckle.

Yet he dared not say this in front of Ye Xuan.

He understood that this guy doesn’t like making such jokes.

"Forget it, I’ll head back to the Supreme Pavilion for a nap, and then wait for his news..." Gai Dao patted his knee and flew away.

Gai Dao.

Known as Master Gai, Dao Master, Mad Gai, etc.

He held an ostensible identity as the protector of the Supreme Pavilion.

But no one knows his true origins.

He has three hobbies: likes drinking, likes nurturing swords, and likes sleeping.

The Sword Nurturing Gourd crafted by him is reputed to be the best in the world.

Like the one taken by Ye Xuan, it was once the most famous Sword Nurturing Gourd across all worlds during the Emperor Era.

Its name—Snow.
