According to normal circumstances, a sect as large as Yuxu Palace should hold a position in the Eastern State that is only second to the two super sects, Water Moon Palace and Sunfire Gate. Even within the Nine Provinces, it would likely rank higher than a kingdom. However, this very point left Ye Huan feeling somewhat puzzled. A kingdom typically constructs various defensive structures, such as walls, moats, and border guard posts, in addition to maintaining the soldiers needed for national stability. Yet when he looked back at Yuxu Palace, aside from the numerous ordinary disciples, Ye Huan had not heard of any hidden mechanisms designed for killing. Not to mention, a Cultivator sect would usually possess a Guardian Formation.
After a swift return to Yuxu Palace, filled with many questions, Ye Huan arrived at the room where Yu Wuxia was recuperating from her severe injuries. As soon as he stepped inside, Elder Sun, who had never smiled at Ye Huan before, finally greeted him with a smile and delivered some delightful news: Yu Wuxia had awakened from her coma. Furthermore, her strength had recovered to nearly eighty percent. Of course, with this level of power, she might find it challenging to deal with Gu Long, but she could certainly handle an ordinary Heavenly Dragon Gate Protector without any issues.
"Elder Yu has awakened?"
Upon hearing the news of Yu Wuxia's recovery, a smile appeared on Ye Huan's face. However, he couldn't help but feel curious deep down. After all, as someone who had witnessed the severity of Yu Wuxia's injuries firsthand, Ye Huan had reason to believe that her rapid recovery and restoration of strength were largely due to the unique healing methods employed among Cultivators. Otherwise, relying solely on Yu Wuxia's physique, it would be impossible for her to heal and regain her strength within just two days.
"I really need to find an opportunity to learn how Cultivators heal each other. Otherwise, if I encounter trouble in the Nine Provinces in the future and there are no other Cultivators around, I should at least be able to save myself..."
Lost in his thoughts about learning healing techniques from Cultivators, Ye Huan seemed to overlook something very important: as his own strength continued to grow, it appeared that there was no one in the Nine Provinces capable of harming him anymore—except for those Cultivators who came from the Eastern State.
"Yes, the Sect Master has awakened!"
Elder Sun responded politely to Ye Huan. His attitude towards Ye Huan seemed to have made a complete turnaround. This sudden change almost made Ye Huan suspect that Elder Sun had some ulterior motives. Fortunately, upon reflection, he realized that Yu Wuxia must have informed Elder Sun about their joint battle against their enemies. With that thought easing his mind, Ye Huan spoke up: "Elder Sun, could you please step outside for a moment? I have an important matter I wish to discuss with the Sect Master."
"An important matter?"
Elder Sun's expression suddenly turned somewhat strange. He did not believe there was anything happening within Yuxu Palace that he shouldn't hear about. Moreover, after just developing a slight fondness for Ye Huan moments ago, being dismissed so abruptly left him feeling quite perplexed.
"Indeed, it concerns the survival of Yuxu Palace. If I have offended you in any way, I hope Elder Sun will forgive me."
With both hands clenched into fists, Ye Huan knew that Elder Sun must be feeling somewhat uncomfortable. This was the first time Ye Huan had addressed Elder Sun as a junior, and what he had said touched upon Elder Sun's unavoidable departure, concerning the survival of Yuxu Palace. Any elder who truly cared for Yuxu Palace would have no reason to deny Ye Huan's request.
"The waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves behind; new talents replace the old. It seems I really am getting old..."
Sighing, Elder Sun ultimately agreed to Ye Huan's request. However, the line he quoted immediately caught Ye Huan's attention.
"Yangtze River." Since arriving in this world, it seemed like it had been a long time since Ye Huan had heard those words spoken by anyone. Although Elder Sun only mentioned the Yangtze River in passing, it made Ye Huan feel a sense of familiarity. Moreover, "The waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves behind; new talents replace the old" was a phrase unique to Ye Huan's previous world, leaving him curious about why Elder Sun would say such a thing.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out the key to this mystery. By the time Ye Huan intended to ask Elder Sun about it, Elder Sun had already left his room and firmly closed the door behind him. This made Ye Huan smile wryly; he could only set this matter aside for now and hurried over to Yu Wuxia's bedside.
Upon arriving, Ye Huan saw that Yu Wuxia was half-reclining on a walnut wood bed with a pillow supporting his waist. He had evidently just heard the conversation between Ye Huan and Elder Sun. However, for some reason, when Ye Huan looked into Yu Wuxia's eyes, he felt as if Yu Wuxia was deep in thought and not fully focused on him.
"Master, I'm here."
Gently sitting by Yu Wuxia's bedside, Ye Huan didn't bother with formalities. If it weren't for considering that Yu Wuxia was still recovering from his injuries, he would have addressed him directly as Elder Yu instead of Master.
"Good that you came..."
Startled by Ye Huan's voice, Yu Wuxia jolted slightly before responding upon realizing it was Ye Huan. This scene did not escape Ye Huan's notice.
Noticing that something seemed off with Yu Wuxia, Ye Huan's first instinct was that Gu Long's injuries had not yet healed. However, seeing Yu Wuxia lost in thought made Ye Huan suspect that there might be something weighing on his mind. Thus, he asked Yu Wuxia, "Master, what are you thinking about?"
"I was reflecting on what Elder Sun just said—the waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves behind. If I calculate carefully, I've been in this position as Master of Yuxu Palace for quite some time now. Your arrival has led the Golden Wind Sword to recognize you as its master; you stood up during this crisis for Yuxu Palace. All of this makes me wonder if it's time to hand over the position of Master of Yuxu Palace to you..."
Still lost in thought regarding Elder Sun's earlier words, Yu Wuxia instinctively responded to Ye Huan. His words struck like a thunderbolt on a clear day, hitting Ye Huan hard in the heart.
Yuxu Palace Master?
To be honest, Ye Huan did not think becoming the Master of Yuxu Palace was a good thing. Take the Four Halls of Huaxia for example; Ye Huan had single-handedly established all of them, but what happened later? Over time, Ye Huan simply handed them over to his companions and became a hands-off manager. Even though Yuxu Palace was a major sect in the Eastern State Cultivator Realm, it made no difference to Ye Huan. He was originally a student accustomed to freedom in the Twenty-First Century. After arriving in this world and leaving the Ye Family, he wandered around aimlessly. Forcing him to settle down and manage a sect would be more unbearable than killing him...
