Transcending the Nine Heavens

ut shake his head and grin.

At this moment, he really discovered Tie Butian’s virtue: this woman was always decisive and controlling in her reign of the world, yet toward him, she was actually immensely thoughtful.
She understood absolutely every mood of his, and every word she spoke was trying to avoid embarrassment for him.”

Chu Yang sighed and said emotionally, “Butian, how good it would be… if you weren’t an emperor!”

A brightness appeared at the depth of Tie Butian’s eyes as she received the tender feelings from Chu Yang’s words clearly.
She muttered, “Chu Yang, you already like me a little.”

Chu Yang laughed and the two separated.
Chu Yang looked at Tie Butian sincerely and said in a soft voice, “About today, I hope you will forgive me.”

Tie Butian looked up at Chu Yang, and her face was a bit flushed.
However, she said softly and calmly, “Do you know that your greatest virtue is that when you are actually wrong, you never deny it, or shirk the blame, or find excuses.
I like it very much.”

She paused and said solemnly, “I forgive you!”

Chu Yang was relieved.
He said gently, “Thank you.
You know, we need to start again.
I don’t want to leave any… bad impression in your heart.”

Tie Butian’s eyes wandered and she smiled.
“And for us women, there’s actually only one person that we like in our whole life.
If we don’t cherish them and leave a knot in our hearts… Wouldn’t that be stupid?”

She smiled softly.
“A woman has to cherish herself and what she has.”

She said softly, “Life is short.”

Chu Yang laughed and realized another virtue of this smart woman: open-mindedness!

Chu Yang suddenly remembered something.
“Oh yeah, how did you know that I’m the Nine Tribulations Sword Master?”

Tie Butian smiled somewhat mischievously.
“The Nine Tribulations Pill that you left me, I’ve already taken it.”

She sighed with some melancholy.
“It’s a pity… Though there is a Nine Tribulations Sword Master in the world, the timing was one year too late.
If Father… could hang on for a while…”

Chu Yang also nodded heavily.
Tie Butian was right.
When Tie Longcheng died, he had yet to obtain any of the Nine Great Herbal Medicines.
In only a little more than half a year, he’d get it.
But he wasn’t able to survive that half a year, after all.
Chu Yang felt especially emotional now.

Tie Butian was a woman, and his woman.
If Tie Butian could live… How good would it be for their family to reunite and go back to the Upper Three Heavens happily?

All the trouble in the Lower Three Heavens would be left for the father-in-law to deal with.

But now… It is too late to say anything.

“So you knew that was the Nine Tribulations Pill? So you ascertained my identity as Nine Tribulations Sword Master?” Chu Yang’s eyes flashed.

“No.
It was my master who identified the Nine Tribulations Pill when the child was born.
But…” Tie Butian smiled lightly.
“Since I know that you are the Nine Tribulations Sword Master, how would I let the news loose? So I alone know your identity for now.
And I didn’t tell anyone about who gave me the Nine Tribulations Pill.”

Chu Yang was stunned.
“Your master?”

Tie Butian smiled.
“My master is called Lan Meixian.” She paused and said softly and slowly, “She’s from Lan Clan of the Upper Three Heavens.”

Chu Yang let out an “oh”, and immediately became a bit dull, and then cold sweat covered his body.

He really didn’t expect that Tie Butian’s master was actually Lan Meixian! And he still left Nine Tribulations Pill back then.
Should it not be for the thoughtfulness of Tie Butian, he was afraid… his identity would have been public knowledge in the whole Nine Heavens right now.

Thinking about Lan Meixian’s eventual life or death being unknown after his sword attack, Chu Yang felt a little guilty.
“She doesn’t know, right?”

“Am I so thoughtless?” Tie Butian rolled her eyes at him.

Immediately, Tie Butian thought of something and her pretty face flushed red.

“Why are you blushing?” Chu Yang was amazed.

“Oh, well… It seems that your mother was my Senior Sister,” said Tie Butian a little hesitantly.

“Huh?!” Chu Yang was really shocked.

He had never thought of this, and he always thought Yang Ruolan was taught by those from her own clan.
Besides, Yang Ruolan had never shown her cultivation in front of him.
He really had no idea who her mother’s master was.

It was actually Lan Meixian!

Chu Yang felt a little dizzy: the two people who were the closest to him were both Lan Meixian’s disciples.
And the attack that affected Lan Meixian’s life or death… was from him?

Uh… This seemed to be quite a troublesome matter.

“That means I’ll have to call you Senior Aunt?” Chu Yang’s eyes opened wide.

Tie Butian blushed and pouted her lips.
“If you want to call me Senior Aunt, you may.”

Chu Yang sighed.
“No wonder the ancients said that to be able to learn, you have to sleep with your Senior Aunt…”

In the next moment, Minister Chu was covered by a series of frustrated fist beatings, and then his lower belly suffered a kick and he fell down, grimacing…

This woman was an emperor indeed, so violent…
