Suddenly, everybody felt a bit sad for the two ladies.

Ye Xiao thought for a while and said, “There is nothing we can do about it. Qing-Yun Realm is a world where bigger fist represents the law. Maybe cultivators don’t have to worry much about making a living, but ordinary people are mostly poor. This is not as good as the Land of Han-Yang… Masters, you two were born in a time which was even worse than the present. People are living difficult lives. I think your parents should be reluctant to abandon you. Perhaps they had their reasons, such as having trouble to make enough money to raise you…”

“It is a constant occurrence in the world…”

He continued, “We should live now and let go of the past, not to trouble ourselves in the sadness.”

The others all started to console the two ladies.

It was the second time for Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian to sit around the same table with the two ladies, but this time, they felt much more relaxed than the first time.

Zhan Yunfei sighed and said, “Little disciple brother is right. Life isn’t easy. I have seen too many families torn apart… Four hundred years ago, when I went to the lower world for traveling, a famine which only occurred once in a thousand years occurred there. That was h.e.l.l.

“I saw people giving their children to others only because they couldn’t afford to raise them. They didn’t want them to die starving, so they considered it a good idea to send them to somebody else’s family… They were lucky because they found people who had enough money to feed the children. At least, their kids were going to survive…

“Most of the people just threw the kids away… Kids couldn’t work. They were only a burden to the family. People were in pain when they threw their kids away, but at least they didn’t need to spare food for the kids. Instead, they might be able to save more food for the rest of the family… There are always tough choices to make in life…

“When we saw what was happening to those people… we were saddened, but we can’t help every one of them, can we? We didn’t have the power to save them all…

“They always said that we were G.o.ds to them. However, we know that we aren’t. With our power, we can destroy their world, but not save them all!

“When their land was too dry to plant grains, maybe we can crack the mountain and draw the river over to water their fields. However, what happened that time was flooding… There was a flood everywhere… It truly was difficult to help…

“After all the hard work, we eventually led the water away and ended the flood, and the people all got down in front of us to show their grat.i.tude. However, I knew that we didn’t really save them from the disaster!”

Zhu Jiutian sighed and said, “Elder Shuang, Elder Han, you shouldn’t be holding the grudge. Perhaps your family survived something terrible because you two were abandoned…”

Yue Shuang was surprised. She said, “If our family have to abandon us to survive… we would accept it…”

Yue Han sneered, “Well, why us? Why didn’t they throw away other kids? Why? Aren’t we their children?”

“Master Zhan was right. Life is always not easy. We are girls after all… and we were born disabled…” Yue Shuang tried to smile and console her sister, “It was the best option to abandon us, wasn’t it? Besides, if we weren’t abandoned, how did we become family with our brother afterward. If we didn’t meet our brother, we…”

“Well, are you telling me that it is our good luck to be abandoned?” Yue Han sneered, “It is a shame that I haven’t gotten any information about our family… If I know who they are… Humph!”

Zhan Yunfei bitterly smiled and said, “Elders, forgive my interrupting. I am afraid it would be a rare chance that you two could meet your family again.”

The others all nodded.

Whoever abandoned their children must be in a rather unfortunate situation. Since they were living in such a difficult life, they should never be able to become a cultivator.

How did ordinary people live for hundreds of years?

Yue Han knew it, but she just had to say some harsh words to vent the grudge in her heart.

“Anyway, we owe our brother a lot for whatever we have achieved now…” Yue Shuang drank up and glanced at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao was expressionless.

Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian knew who their brother was, so they both felt terrified when the two ladies mentioned him. They prayed in the heart, [Please, sisters! Stay calm and sober. Don’t go crazy. If you have to get drunk, don’t kill us.]

After all, the ladies’ brother, Xiao Monarch, and Cold Moon Palace were sworn enemies!

“Oh, right. You haven’t heard yet, have you? Xiao Monarch is back. He didn’t truly die.” Ye Nantian looked at Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian, who looked like having constipation. Ye Nantian continued, “I guess I should let you know. It must be important for you two.”

“What? What… What did you just say?” Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian both stood up in shock. Their faces both turned dark.

They stood up so abruptly that the table nearly got lifted over.

“Xiao Monarch is alive, and Master Fierce Blade, Li Wuliang is alive too.” Ye Nantian said, “On our way back home, we saw them both with our eyes. We met Xiao Monarch years ago, so I know him. If he didn’t show up and help us again this time, I am afraid the six of us would all die.”

Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian were so astonished that their eyeb.a.l.l.s nearly popped out. “How is that possible?”

They both couldn’t believe that Xiao Monarch was still live. They both witnessed his death after all.

[This is ridiculous!]

Ye Nantian started to tell them everything about how Li Wuliang and Xiao Monarch helped them sweep off a bunch of superior cultivators. In the end, he looked at Ye Xiao and said, “In fact, there was a third guy who was staying with the two heroes… The man is the Unique of the World, the Frost Sword, Han Bingxue, who showed up with Xiao Monarch in the forest… I think he looks at least eighty percent like the friend you brought back home not long ago, Xiao Xiao.”

Yue Shuang, Yue Han, and Ye Xiao were all shocked.

They all started to curse Han Bingxue in their minds. [F*cking pretentious stupid p.r.i.c.k! Now you have made huge trouble because of your pretentiousness!]

[b.a.s.t.a.r.d!]
