Chapter 1751: Chapter 811: Sibling Bonds

Despite his irritation, Ye Lingri still forced himself to investigate and ascertain Ye Lingguang’s safety, since Ye Lingguang is his brother.

The Divine Domain Battlefield where Ye Lingri was located was at the fringe of the Divine Realm, separated by a vast distance.

Ye Lingguang usually stayed in Futu Heaven, and Ye Lingri knew he wouldn’t cause much trouble there, so he didn’t bother to contact him frequently.

Now that a Spiritual Imprint he left on one of his Hidden Guards suddenly disappeared, indicating the Guard had been killed, Ye Lingri couldn’t help but become vigilant.

As he inquired, Ye Lingri’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he summoned all his subordinates who were in charge of contacting those Hidden Guards, berating them fiercely.

"Damn it! No one reported that Ye Lingguang secretly slipped out of the Divine Realm and went to the Human Realm!"

His subordinates looked at each other, and one of them whispered fearlessly.

"Lord Lingri, it was you who said earlier that, unless Lord Ling Guang is on his last breath, you don’t want to be bothered by his matters."

"..."

Ye Lingri’s face remained dark as the bottom of a pot.

Ye Lingri’s old subordinates were somewhat aware of the love and hate tangled history between the twin brothers, Ye Lingri and Ye Lingguang.

Moreover, even though Ye Lingguang wasn’t proficient in Martial Arts, he was famously troublesome in the Divine Realm, hard to deal with. If he isn’t causing trouble for others, the deities in the Divine Realm would feel relieved, chanting "Amitabha Buddha". Compared to the Divine Realm, the Human Realm was considered far inferior, so Ye Lingri’s subordinates naturally thought there was no harm in not reporting.

Who knew that after Lord Lingguang reached the Human Realm, he’d become so engrossed he had no intention of returning.

What’s worse, the Hidden Guard protecting him suddenly died.

Moreover, the guard shattered his own Dantian and was burned to death by Divine Fire.

The Hidden Guards sent by Ye Lingri were rigorously trained Divine Weapons, their strength not far behind that of some Main Gods in the Divine Realm, with some even reaching the cultivation level of a Divine General.

Someone capable of forcing such a Guard to commit suicide was not ordinary, and Ye Lingri suspected that Ye Lingguang had encountered a major trouble this time. The worst part was, Ye Lingguang himself probably hadn’t realized it yet.

Ye Lingri’s mind was in turmoil. Apart from worrying about Ye Lingguang being in danger, he was more concerned about why Ye Lingguang went to the Human Realm.

Could it be?

Ye Lingri’s brow twitched, recalling something.

Back then, when Sister perished, the Ye Family Brothers were both away.

By the time they rushed back, they only found a tomb filled with Sister’s old belongings.

Ye Lingri could remember Ye Lingguang’s expression clearly, even to this day.

A younger Ye Lingguang, who always cried, did not shed a tear this time.

He held their Sister’s spirit coffin and said with determination.

"Ah Ri, believe me once, Sister isn’t dead; we will bring her back."

At that time, Ye Lingri was immersed in grief and didn’t take Ye Lingguang’s words to heart.

Over the years, messages from the Hidden Guards around Ye Lingguang occasionally came back, and Ye Lingri knew that Ye Lingguang had been searching for Sister.

Now that he had gone to the Lower Realm and stayed there for so long, could it be that he really had clues that Sister was alive?

But Sister was clearly gone, scattered into the ether.

Ye Lingri’s heart suddenly stopped beating.

Recalling their childhood, and that beautiful, gentle Sister.

He had an impulse, wanting to rush to the Human Realm immediately, to question Ye Lingguang.

But soon, reason overcame the devil of impulse in his heart.

He was Ye Lingri, not Ye Lingguang.

Ah Guang could act willfully, but as the son of the Eight Desolate Divine Sovereign, with their elder sister gone, he was now the Eldest Son.

As the principal Divine General of the region, bearing great responsibilities, in recent years, the Northern Territory Divine Sovereign Xi Jiuye and a group of other gods had been eyeing both his father’s position and Ye Lingri’s military post covetously. If he were to leave, it would be dereliction of duty, bringing catastrophe to the Eight Desolates Divine Realm and the entire military camp.

His subordinates by the side dared not make a sound. Lord Lingri appeared cold-hearted, yet in truth, he was just sharp-tongued and softhearted, worried about Lord Lingguang without realizing it himself.

Otherwise, why would he suddenly summoning them in the middle of a military meeting?

"Send down the order, tell the Hidden Guards around Ah Guang to stay vigilant, give that lad a reminder, but be sure not to let him find out that we have people around him. Also, send word to the Eight Desolates Divine Realm, inform my parents about Ah Guang’s private ventures to the Human Realm."

After much contemplation, Ye Lingri made a compromise.

His parents were always reasonable; they would eventually learn about Ah Guang’s matter sooner or later; better to observe how mother would act.

On the other hand, Ye Lingri also wanted to test if his parents knew anything about Sister.

If his parents were to head to the Human Realm immediately, Ye Lingri would be more convinced that Sister might truly have been reborn!

If so, even at the cost of his future and life, he would go to the Human Realm, to bring Sister back.

Sister, this time, I won’t stand by and watch you leave us again!

A guard took orders and swiftly left.

It was still night, and the night in the Ancient Nine Provinces grew increasingly uneasy, with the winds and rain of change brewing ominously.

Meanwhile, in the Northern Territory Divine Palace, Hong Mingyue was also not having peaceful days lately.

Upon arriving at the North, Hong Mingyue initially thought that with the child in her womb, she could peacefully nurture her pregnancy in the Northern Territory Divine Palace, enjoying the treatment of half a Divine Consort.

Who knew she would encounter Lan Chuchu’s premature delivery upon arrival, but fortunately, Lan Chuchu gave birth to a baby girl.

However, it was obvious that Lan Chuchu blamed her premature delivery on Hong Mingyue, and these days, Hong Mingyue had been staying in the palace maids’ quarters.

Her food, clothing, and other necessities were all treated the same as those of the palace maids.

Feeling aggrieved, Hong Mingyue made several inquiries, only to receive brief replies from the palace maids.

The Divine Master had not returned, and without rank, Hong Mingyue could only be arranged according to the treatment of a palace maid.

They also told Hong Mingyue that even the previous concubines of the Divine Master had stayed in the palace maids’ quarters, and Hong Mingyue would be no exception.

Hong Mingyue endured for several days, but unable to bear the cold and the food, she threatened to send a letter to Xi Jiuye.

The palace maids softened upon hearing this and conveyed Hong Mingyue’s wishes to Lan Chuchu.

Upon hearing this, Lan Chuchu actually agreed to change Hong Mingyue’s accommodation from the palace maids’ quarters to a refined courtyard called Plum Garden.

When Hong Mingyue arrived at Plum Garden, she saw it was planted all around with plum blossoms; the Northern Territory was cold, making it difficult for ordinary flowers to grow, but plum trees thrive.

Especially the red plums, embellishing the pristine white snow, was an enchanting sight, resembling an Immortal Realm.

Seeing this, Hong Mingyue was somewhat satisfied. The arrangements in the room also exuded elegance, comparable to her boudoir in the Marquis Mansion back then, so it was only then that Hong Mingyue nodded and moved in.

Additionally, Lan Chuchu also assigned several palace maids to serve Hong Mingyue. On the surface, Hong Mingyue appeared satisfied, but in private, she was extremely cautious, testing all her food and water with silver needles to ensure they were safe before consumption.

Thus passed a day, and come night, Hong Mingyue had just lain down to sleep.

In the dead of night, a sudden thud at the window resounded, and something dashed in.
