"In the past three years, the situation has greatly changed. Countless masters have emerged. Xiang Han has ascended to Land God and stays in Huaxia to guard the four corners!" Yun Zheyue looked at Ye Chen whose eyes flickered, as if debating whether to make a move.

"I didn't ask you where she is, I asked if she had changed her heart?" Ye Chen said.

Ye Chen had disappeared for three years, leaving behind a bevy of beauties, all in constant fear every day, afraid that those beauties would be coveted by others.

Xiang Han is an exceptional heroine with numerous admirers, among them Land Gods. Ye Chen feared that being away for too long, someone might take advantage of his absence!

"After you disappeared, she has been silently waiting for your news, paying no mind to anyone else!" Yun Zheyue said somewhat displeased, offended that this man dared to doubt her sister's fidelity!

"That's good to hear. I can rest easy now," Ye Chen sighed in relief.

"Do not get too happy too soon. Although Xiang Han is worried about you, there are two Land Gods constantly revolving around her, trying to win her favor," Yun Zheyue said coldly.

"What!" Ye Chen was greatly alarmed. Could there be someone fearless enough to covet his wife?!

"Those two Land Gods are hidden high-end combat immortals in the world. Xiang Han even mentioned she had a favorable impression of one of them and was thinking of accepting an invitation to dine together. I don't know how it has developed by now," Yun Zheyue said.

"Bastard!" Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately became furious. It was an urgent matter indeed; if he didn't return soon, Xiang Han might be taken away by someone else!

Yun Zheyue looked at Ye Chen, her lips slightly curling up in enjoyment.

It was true that the two Land God pursuers existed, but Xiang Han never paid any attention to those two men. Yun Zheyue said this just to make Ye Chen anxious.

Ye Chen's anxious appearance brought joy to Yun Zheyue's heart.

She couldn't kill him, so she would torment him!

"No, you're lying to me!" Ye Chen seemed to realize something. "I just insulted you, tarnishing your prestige. Would you kindly tell me all this?"

"Believe it or not!" Yun Zheyue said haughtily.

"Where is Xiang Han?" Ye Chen asked.

"The capital of our nation, the Capital City!" Yun Zheyue said.

The Capital City is the most important city in Huaxia, home to numerous high-ranking officials and the wealthiest, making it the foremost critical location in all of Huaxia cities, with Xiang Han naturally stationed there to guard!

"Thank you!" Ye Chen glanced at Yun Zheyue, then his figure moved swiftly, plunging into the void.

"He's leaving just like that? By behaving this way, is he completely disregarding me?!" Yun Zheyue felt anger rising, wanting to grab Ye Chen and fight another three hundred rounds.

However, Ye Chen's power had become formidable, his combat strength nearly matching hers as the ultimate war immortal. Even though she could unleash deadly moves, with Ye Chen having the earthen jar to protect him, she was essentially helpless against him.

Yun Zheyue could kill Ye Chen, but the cost would be too great for her to bear!

"Qingling!" Ye Chen came rushing like the wind and upon seeing Xu Qingling, he embraced her tightly.

"You big jerk, I've missed you to death!" Tears flooded from Xu Qingling's eyes once more, her small fists pounding continuously on Ye Chen's body.

"There are too many people here, let's find a place to talk," Ye Chen said.

"Where to?" Xu Qingling asked.

"Somewhere secluded."

...

The turmoil in Egypt had ended, and although Xu Qingling stayed there to guard, she only had to perform light duties, leading a very leisurely daily life.

However, it seemed like Ye Chen had vanished from the face of the earth, his life and death unknown, making Xu Qingling feel as though she'd lost her soul, and she had cast aside everything else.

Over these three years, the Xu Family pressured her countless times to marry into the Ji family, and the forces from the Ji family side also pressured her, making Xu Qingling struggle immensely, nearly being forcefully repatriated by special forces.

However, facing many adversities, Xu Qingling never submitted. She only wished to wait for Ye Chen to return.

Xu Qingling knew that, no matter how perilous her situation was, if Ye Chen returned, then everything would turn into ashes!

If Ye Chen never returned, Xu Qingling would keep waiting here until the end. Should Ye Chen's death be confirmed, then Xu Qingling would follow him in death.

She was a woman of such tough character!

Now, with Ye Chen's return, Xu Qingling's soul also returned!

Xu Qingling felt the whole world had become brighter, the wildflowers on the roadside spreading their fragrance, everything so beautiful!

Ye Chen's return lit up Xu Qingling!

"These three years have treated you unfairly!" Ye Chen, knowing what Xu Qingling had endured during these years, was moved and pained.

Ye Chen had disappeared for three years, and everyone thought he was dead, but only Xu Qingling firmly believed he was alive, waiting for him here! That moved Ye Chen deeply.

After Ye Chen disappeared, Xu Qingling faced her family's betrayal, oppression, and pressure from another major power, leading a life filled with hardships, which made Ye Chen immensely pained.

This woman had suffered too much for him, a suffering that no amount of words could ever fully describe.

"As long as you're here, everything is fine!" Xu Qingling said with a contented expression.

"I swear, I'll never let anyone hurt you again!" Ye Chen said. "And those who hurt you in the past will also pay the price!"

"Let bygones be bygones. Since you're here, everything has turned to ashes, and those people won't dare trouble me anymore!" Xu Qingling said with a bright smile, looking at everything with an open heart.

Qianyue Bing and Yalina watched the affectionate couple, feeling not only some admiration for Xu Qingling but also awe toward her perseverance, which had nothing to do with the Cultivation Realm!

"Lingling!"

Just as Ye Chen held Xu Qingling tenderly, the telephone in the living room suddenly started ringing.

"..."

The telephone ring persisted incessantly, and while Xu Qingling wondered who was calling, she approached the landline and recognized the familiar number displayed, causing her to freeze.

"Lingling!"

The telephone kept ringing, but Xu Qingling didn't reach out to answer it; she didn't want to answer that call.

Finally, the jarring telephone ring ceased.

"Qingling, why didn't you answer the phone?" Ye Chen approached Xu Qingling and noticed something was off; she seemed to be avoiding something.

"The number displayed is my dad's private phone," Xu Qingling said emotionlessly.

"Father-in-law is calling you, why didn't you pick it up?" Ye Chen smiled.

"He has already severed our father-daughter relationship. What's there left to talk about?" Xu Qingling thought about her father's change of attitude and felt a strange suffocation. Could it be that she was not his biological daughter?

"Even if he did things that upset you, he is still your father. Your blood, your flesh, they all were given by him!" Ye Chen counseled.

Xu Qingling recounted all the hardships she had suffered in the past three years to him, and Ye Chen knew the pain she had endured. However, he also knew that Xu Qingling and her father's fraught relationship made her suffer as well.

After all, he was her biological father!

"I hate him so much!" Xu Qingling said indignantly. "The Ji family's influence has cornered me, yet instead of helping me, he made me return to Huaxia to marry the Ji family's eldest son. After how he has treated me, how do you expect me to face him?"

The more Xu Qingling talked, the angrier and more agitated she became, her eyes reddening as if she were about to cry; her father's actions had deeply wounded her heart.

"Your father pushed you this hard because he was also under a lot of pressure. After all, you and the Ji family's eldest son were previously engaged, and suddenly calling off the engagement is tough for your father!" Ye Chen explained. "He also finds it difficult to force you, but perhaps you could try to forgive him."

Actually, Ye Chen was part of the reason for this situation. If it were not for him courting Xu Qingling, she might have already been married.

However, Ye Chen was very philosophical about it all. Xu Qingling was charmed by his allure, and that was destiny.

"I've thought about what you said, but I just can't forgive him!" Xu Qingling said. "I'm his daughter, and forcing me to marry someone I don't like is pushing me into a fire pit. I don't want to forgive him so easily!"

"Silly girl!" Ye Chen smiled.

"You're the silly one!" Xu Qingling shot him a glance.

"Lingling!"

After a moment of silence, the phone suddenly started ringing again, displaying the same number as before.

"Good wife, hurry and pick up!" Ye Chen knew Xu Qingling wasn't answering the phone, pretending to be tough while suffering inside.

"I'm not picking it up. You pick it up!" Xu Qingling said.

"That's your dad. Why should I pick it up?" Ye Chen exclaimed.

"My dad is your father-in-law. You should have a few words with him!" Xu Qingling said with a mysterious smile.

"Alright," Ye Chen considered and then said.

"Wait a minute!"

"What is it now?"

"My dad knows you're formidable; help me scare him a bit!" Xu Qingling said.

"..."

Xu Guanlin was holding the receiver, his expression gloomy as he waited for his daughter to pick up his call.

He knew Xu Qingling wanted nothing to do with him, and Xu Guanlin didn't want to make this call either. After all that had happened, he felt too ashamed to face his daughter!

But Xu Guanlin couldn't avoid making this call, as he had heard some news and wanted to verify it with his daughter.

"Good daughter, it seems you really don't want to deal with me!" Xu Guanlin said with a bitter smile.

He previously pressured Xu Qingling to return to the country and then marry the Ji family's eldest son, which met with fierce resistance from her.

In the end, even though the Xu and Ji families jointly applied pressure, they were unable to bring Xu Qingling back to Huaxia, and the marriage between the families never materialized.

Involuntarily, Xu Guanlin was angered yet also proud of Xu Qingling's rebellion!

Both families were military titans, and their joint efforts could not bring her back, proving his daughter was extraordinary!

Xu Guanlin had pressured Xu Qingling to return to Huaxia and marry into the Ji family, a sacrifice he deemed necessary for the greater good.

Stubbornly disobeying, Xu Qingling chose to wait in Egypt for the man she loved. Xu Guanlin was outwardly angry but deep down, he somewhat supported his daughter's decision, because after all, who hadn't been young once?

However, because of the prior pressures, Xu Qingling now ignored him completely, which left him somewhat bemused.
