Shrouding the Heavens: One proof, eternal proof, starting from Earth to prove the Dao.

Chapter 46 In the end, Emperor Ye Tian shouldered everything!

"Covering the Sky: One Proof for Eternity, Starting from Earth to Prove the Dao" - Stunning writing style and a thrilling plot!

"Sister, what brings you here?"

Ye Chen's hand, holding the teacup, paused almost imperceptibly.

The tea soup in his cup, in which he drank the Enlightenment Tea, rippled with an extremely subtle movement.

Who leaked the information?

Could it be the work of that damned dog, Black Emperor?

No, Black King has been right beside me the whole time. Could it be the chat group?

They didn't post a message in the chat group; it was An Miaoyi who sent the invitation via private message.

"Empress, Xu Qiong, how did you find this place?"

Ye Fan hurriedly stood up, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

He said that his elder brother had invited him to Miaoyu Nunnery, and he certainly didn't have good intentions.

He had barely sipped his tea and made no other move when he was caught red-handed by the Empress and his fiancée.

Moreover, the Holy Maiden of Miaoyu Temple was clearly there for her own brother; he was just there to make up the numbers.

"elder brother!"

"If I hadn't come in person, how would I have known that you would have such refined tastes as to bring your younger brother to this place for philosophical discussion and quiet contemplation?"

The Empress's voice was clear and melodious, yet carried a subtle, almost imperceptible chill.

She did not come in her true form, but in a spiritual form like Ye Chen, although Xu Qiong came in her true form.

"Cough cough~"

Ye Chen's smile remained unchanged, as if he hadn't noticed the sharpness in Ye Chen's words at all.

She even took a step forward, subtly separating herself from Ye Fan and Xu Qiong's line of sight.

"Sister, this is Fellow Daoist An Miaoyi from Miaoyu Nunnery. She just invited Ye Fan and me to taste the Enlightenment Tea and discuss the methods of cultivation."

"Fellow Daoist Miaoyi is proficient in music and the way of cultivating the mind in the mortal world, which is quite inspiring for our cultivation."

Ye Chen introduced the Empress with great enthusiasm.

However, he cleverly avoided sensitive words such as "strolling" and "romantic affairs".

Although he was the Empress's brother, with his strength from the first transformation into a dragon, he was nothing more than an ant in front of the Empress who had lived five lifetimes in reverse.

"Junior An Miaoyi greets the Wilderness Lord."

An Miaoyi quickly adjusted her posture and bowed deeply to the Empress.

The Empress's gaze lingered on her for a moment. Although her eyes were calm, An Miaoyi felt that all her thoughts and even the slightest emotional fluctuations were laid bare.

"Ye Fan, what did I say again?"

"Now your younger sister and sister-in-law are worried!"

"Although the Enlightenment Tea is indeed very beneficial to cultivation, and Fellow Daoist Miaoyi's invitation is well-intentioned, this place has a good reputation and it is easy for people to misunderstand."

"I told you from the beginning that you are still young and very curious. You wanted to come and broaden your horizons after being persuaded by the Black Emperor."

"I was afraid you would act impulsively and do something that would hurt your wife, so I had to come along to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't let trivial matters outside of the Enlightenment Tea distract you from your Daoist mind."

Ye Chen showed a helpless expression upon seeing this.

He patted Ye Fan's shoulder gently and admonished him in a serious tone.

Ye Chen's words were sincere, reasonable, and well-founded, and in just a few sentences, he exonerated himself completely.

It's all because Ye Fan is so curious!

After all, he was merely a spiritual body; what could he possibly accomplish besides discussing the Dao?

"puff--"

"Woof! It's clearly the old master who wanted to drink flower...tea."

Black Emperor, who was secretly sipping tea to calm his nerves, almost spat out his Enlightenment Tea upon hearing this.

Before Black King could finish speaking, Ye Chen glared at him, and Black King quickly covered his mouth with both hands.

"Brother...you...me?"

Ye Fan's eyes widened even more.

He witnessed firsthand his brother's sincere expression of "I'm doing this for your own good," and was deeply shocked.

Ye Chen's tactic of shifting the blame is brilliant!

He finally understood why Ye Chen had brought him along to the Miaoyu Nunnery to meet one of the three great beauties of the Eastern Wilderness.

Xu Qiong's gaze, which had been fixed on Ye Fan, suddenly shifted, turning towards Ye Chen with a hint of suspicion, as if to say, "So you were the mastermind."

She didn't believe Ye Chen was so "innocent"!

"Ye Fan, is what my brother said true?"

The chaotic energy around the Empress seemed to fluctuate slightly, and her clear, cold voice rang out again.

Her tone was soft, but the pressure beneath that calm made Ye Fan's forehead instantly break out in a sweat.

"I......"

Ye Fan glanced at Ye Chen.

At that moment, Ye Chen glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, a gentle smile on his face, and winked at him.

As long as he takes the blame, he can swindle good things from Ye Chen.

Ye Fan was torn between his inner thoughts and his own conscience.

If he were to take the blame, he would surely face Xu Qiong's censure and even punishment from the Empress's sister.

Not taking the blame?

The older brother will probably try to shift the blame back to his brother!

Judging from this, the eldest brother is determined to clear himself of suspicion, especially in front of the Empress.

He recalled that although his elder brother often tricked him in ordinary times, he was extremely reliable in critical moments, always paving the way for him from Earth to Beidou.

Furthermore, there seems to be a subtle relationship between the elder brother and the Empress.

After a brief weighing of the pros and cons, Ye Fan gritted his teeth and forced a look of regret onto his face.

"I heard from the Black Emperor that there was good tea here, and I became curious, so I begged my elder brother to bring me here to take a look."

"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."

Ye Fan made a firm decision.

Once this matter has calmed down, he will definitely try to obtain a legendary holy weapon from Ye Chen, since this guy still has two supreme imperial weapons.

Ye Fan felt he wasn't at a disadvantage, as he could simply use a legendary weapon to settle a score.

"You, Ye Fan, you've really grown some guts!"

"Enlightenment Tea? It seems you'd rather come here to comprehend the Way of Beauty!"

When Xu Qiong saw that he had confessed his crime, the coldness on her face eased slightly.

But he still snorted coldly, took a step forward, grabbed Ye Fan's ear, and dragged him to sit down.

"Ouch, ouch, be gentle, be gentle."

"Xu Qiong, in front of everyone, give me some face."

Ye Fan grimaced and begged for mercy.

In truth, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that at least most of the firepower had been drawn by him, and his brother should be safe.

Seeing that things were not going well, the Black King let out a howl.

It crawled directly under the table, fearing that the Empress would target it and eat it.

Ye Chen silently gave Ye Fan a "good brother" look.

The Empress shifted her gaze from Ye Fan and returned it to Ye Chen's face.

The chaotic aura around her seemed to have faded slightly, and through the haze, her clear, cold eyes clearly reflected Ye Chen's feigned composure, yet actually ingratiating and guilty smile.

She saw all of their little tricks, but she didn't expose them.

"Sister, come and try this tea. Although it's not as good as the Nine-Miracle Elixir of Immortality from home, it has its own unique flavor."

Ye Chen felt a great weight lifted from his heart, knowing that he had passed this hurdle, at least his sister hadn't reacted on the spot.

He quickly picked up the clean, empty jade cup on the table and personally poured the Empress a cup of steaming fragrant tea.

"Sister-in-law, calm down. Ye Fan is young, and he is just a bit too curious."

"I've already taught him a lesson."

Ye Chen poured Xu Qiong another cup himself.

I hope Xu Qiong will consider my feelings and be lenient when punishing Ye Fan.

"Thank you, brother!"

Xu Qiong took the tea, her expression softening; she couldn't very well give Ye Chen a hard time.

Then he turned and glared at Ye Fan, meaning he would deal with him when they got back.

Just as Ye Chen was about to change the subject and invite the Empress to visit the Yaochi Ancient Land, he realized he didn't know what the Western Emperor had sealed away or how dangerous it was.

Just then, an immense divine power suddenly emanated from the direction of the Dragon Transformation Pool in the Divine City.

Clearly, a peerless expert, wielding an ultimate imperial weapon, has come specifically to kill Jiang Taixu.
