"Great-grandfather, I'm sorry for the short visit this time." The next day, Ye Shikai took his leave from Chen Yaogzu, wanting to find a secluded place to calm down after everything that had happened.

"In that case, I won't insist you stay. Ye, on the journey ahead, take good care of yourself." Chen Yaogzu said plainly. Every word made Ye Shikai deeply ponder. Masters of cultivation often spoke in riddles, and his words seemed to carry a tone of "warning." This old man probably saw at a glance that Chen Yuxin was pregnant. Unexpectedly, he didn't mention it yesterday, but it might also be because Chen Yuxin deliberately prevented him from doing so.

"Of course, thank you for the guidance, Senior." Ye Shikai bowed respectfully before turning to leave the cave.

"The way down the mountain is quite complicated, Xin, escort Ye for me." Chen Yaogzu closed his eyes lightly and said without much expression.

"Alright, great-grandfather, I'll take him down the mountain." Chen Yuxin ran over happily and directly took Ye Shikai's arm, and the two headed down the mountain.

"Ah, this child."

At the foot of the mountain.

"Kai, there's a car at the rest stop below. I've arranged for someone to wait for you there." Chen Yuxin said with a smile, her mood having improved greatly since last night. If she didn't need to accompany her great-grandfather for a few days, she would want to return with Ye Shikai.

"Okay, got it, thank you." Ye Shikai nodded.

"Why are you saying thank you?" Chen Yuxin moved closer, a bit shy. Subconsciously, she already saw Ye Shikai as her husband.

"I'm heading back to Yanjing first; it's quite lonely for great-grandfather to be alone here, so stay a few more days." Ye Shikai changed the topic, and Chen Yuxin nodded. In her world, Ye Shikai and Chen Yaogzu were the most important people. She didn't have many friends growing up, except for Ye Shikai as her childhood friend, and naturally depended on him a lot. Perhaps, in her heart, having a child with Ye Shikai was a dream she had since a young age.

"Kai, be careful on your way back."

Upon reaching the airport, Ye Shikai didn't board the Chen family's private jet but bought a ticket for a direct flight to Yun City.

In Yun City, Ye Shikai had only one friend, Wuyan of the Worm Sect.

At the entrance of the Worm Sect.

"Excuse me, could you inform your sect leader that I am here?"

"May I ask who you are..."

"My name is Ye Shikai."

"Alright, please wait a moment while I report this." The disciple at the entrance said respectfully, then quickly ran inside. To be honest, Ye Shikai and Wuyan hadn't spent much time together. As to why he came back to the Worm Sect to find Wuyan for a chat, he wasn't sure himself. Maybe he just wanted a friend to talk to and ease his mind.

The Worm Sect is nestled deep in the mountains, surrounded by beautiful scenery. It truly is a great place to relieve stress.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to visit me here." Before he could think more, a cool voice sounded behind Ye Shikai, with a hint of pleasant surprise.

"Wuyan, long time no see."

"The wind is strong out here; let's head inside to talk." Wuyan smiled, signaling a disciple to serve tea.

.......................................

"Has Dongfang Lian been causing any more trouble?" Wuyan handed Ye Shikai a cup of hot tea, speaking as she did. The last time at the cliff's edge, luckily Wuyan arrived in time. They hadn't met for a month, and she seemed to still be holding a grudge.

"No, I agreed to help her." Ye Shikai replied calmly.

"That's good, but be cautious with some women, or you might not even know when you die." Dongfang Lian said with some dissatisfaction, always disliking Ye Shikai's lack of vigilance with people around him. For an ordinary person, it might not be a bad thing, but Ye Shikai's special status meant he had to be on guard with everyone, without a moment's relaxation.

Ye Shikai's hand trembled slightly; Dongfang Lian's words inadvertently touched a tender part of his heart.

"You don't usually visit unless there's a reason. You normally dislike me; is there something you want today?"

"Who said I dislike you."

"Come on, what's up?"

"Wuyan, I consider you a good friend. I came today because I wanted to talk with you." Ye Shikai said, his tone somewhat lost. Facing a formidable enemy, he would silently endure without a word. He was strong, yet fragile, often these two traits coalesced in one place. He was at a loss with this situation and just wanted to confide in someone now.

"I can't believe it, even the mighty Netherworld King gets depressed."

"I have a child."

Wuyan's hand trembled, a hint of emotion crossed her face, but her heart was in turmoil.

She had always admired Ye Shikai and even boldly expressed her love, but Ye Shikai never accepted it. Hearing this news now still stirred her deeply.

"Congratulations, is it a boy or a girl?" Wuyan asked bitterly.

"The child isn't Qingyu's." Ye Shikai sighed deeply before revealing the "secret."

"What." A loud shout echoed, seemingly waking the tranquil Worm Sect.

"Sect leader, are you alright?" Several disciples rushed in, thinking something had happened to Wuyan.

"It's nothing; you all can leave and close the door."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

A second, two seconds, three seconds... complete silence.

"It's that woman who gave you the Single Love Poisonous Insect, right?" After a long pause, Wuyan finally spoke.

"Yes, it is."

"You're such a bastard." Wuyan suddenly scolded, in utter disbelief that Ye Shikai had a child with another woman.

"I admit it, I'm a bastard." Ye Shikai shook his head helplessly. "It's all my fault."

"What are you going to do now?"

"I haven't figured it out yet; otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you to talk." Ye Shikai shook his head.

"What about the child..."

"The child is innocent. If she gives birth, I will definitely take responsibility."

"Alright, just for saying that, you're not a complete scumbag." Wuyan poured Ye Shikai another cup of tea to calm their nerves.

"Senior Dugu was right; I do have a love disaster." Ye Shikai was now filled with regret. He thought he could handle these relationships, but he realized he wasn't capable. In matters of love, he was always passive. When he first met Chen Yuxin, he didn't have the courage to clearly "break it off," and in the end, he harmed both her and Su Qingyu.

"Take some time to relax here, and in the meantime, think about how to explain things to Su Qingyu." Wuyan said, then left.
