Chapter 5062: Guilty Conscience Editor: Misty Cloud Translations Hao’er and Muchen exchanged a glance before saying, "Master, our mother is in seclusion." "Seclusion?" The Azure Emperor paused slightly. "With her current strength, why would she need seclusion to deal with anyone? Or is she planning another earth-shattering scheme?" Muchen looked at him, his small face wearing a mature expression. "Master should know that our father is still in the Lower Immortal Realm. And it’s not just our father—many of our relatives are there too. I heard Mother say she wants to break through the void barrier of the Upper Immortal Realm, so the two realms can connect." "Hmph..." Azure Emperor chuckled softly upon hearing this. "That sounds like something your Mother would attempt. But this matter is far from simple." Setting down his teacup, he continued, "The Upper Immortal Realm differs from other parts of the Lower Immortal Realm. What separates them isn’t merely a difference in spatial dimensions, but also the Nine Layers of Heavenly Dao. Achieving mutual access between these two realms is no easy feat." "Master!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞 A sweet, soft voice called out. At the sound, a gentle light softened the Azure Emperor’s eyes. He glanced toward the hall entrance, where the little girl dashed in like the wind and threw herself into his arms. "Master, Master! Yun Qi missed you so much!" Yue’er knew she had run away without permission. Now that her master had come looking for her, her first instinct was to find a way to win his favor. She threw herself into his embrace, rubbing her little head against him before tilting her face up, revealing a sweet, endearing smile. Azure Emperor’s face remained impassive, his expression unreadable. His deep, calm eyes fixed on the little girl tilting her head up with that sweet smile. Hearing her words, he asked in a deep voice, "You missed your master?" "Mm hmm~" Yue’er nodded eagerly. "But how does your master recall you disobeying me and sneaking out of Yunxiao Mountain?" His cool voice carried a low, unreadable tone, devoid of emotion. Not even a hint of expression or warmth graced his face. Yue’er’s heart skipped a beat. Feeling guilty and uneasy, she lowered her head, her small hands tugging at the hem of his robe, unsure what to say. Seeing her slightly anxious expression, the Azure Emperor sighed inwardly and softened his tone. "Do you think you’ll dare disobey your master again? Sneak out of the mountain?" Hearing this, she quickly lifted her head. "I won’t, I won’t! Master, I promise I’ll be good and listen to you from now on. If you tell me not to leave the mountain, I won’t. Really, I swear." "Remember what you said today," the Azure Emperor said, watching her. "Mmm..." She nodded in agreement. Seeing his expression soften slightly, she beamed and asked, "Master, why are you here?" Didn’t you go to handle some business? Is it finished? Are you here to take us back to the mountain? Master, my Mother’s place is so beautiful. Would you like to stay here for a few days? Sister Mi’er’s cooking is so delicious, Master..." "Enough." Azure Emperor cut her off. "I know you wish to stay by your Mother’s side, but do not forget you are still my disciples." He added, "You already have the Divine Whip as your weapon. Yun Chen and Yun Yuan still lack suitable weapons, so I plan to take them to find swords that suit them." "Then can I come too?" Yue’er asked, blinking her eyes. Azure Emperor looked at her and said, "Yes. Once we obtain the swords, we’ll return directly to Yunxiao Mountain."
