The Ancient Realm Goddess
Trouble

Qing Yue'er followed her grandfather continuously up to the top of the tower. He passed through the 6th and 7th floors in amazement. Sure enough what his grandfather said, there was a certain pressure that made him have to expend a little effort.

Even so, he was not so troubled. After passing through the two floors he finally arrived at the 8th floor. Enthusiastic he observed the stairs leading to the last floor.

“Grandfather, does the Xie clan only uphold one god?” qing Yue'er asked suddenly.

“Not really. There are other gods as well, but we put them in a different place,” Xie Song said. Then he led Qing Yue'er to climb the final stairs. The golden door still seemed to be closed.

Xie Song slowly opened the door. “You can see it se—”

Boom!

The sound of an explosion suddenly sounded from within. It really surprised Xie Song. He ran inside to see what was happening. Upon seeing that his heart immediately shook.

“How can this happen?”

Qing Yue'er followed her grandfather in. His eyes immediately flashed as he saw the room there was already a mess. And what stunned him was the powder and the ruins of the statue scattered on the floor. Why did the statue explode?

“Grandfather, what happened?” qing Yue'er asked her grandfather.

Xie Song could not answer. His face paled a little. A ruined statue of a god is not a good sign for anyone. That could be a catastrophe. And this happened in the Xie clan. What will happen to his clan? Thinking about it made him uneasy.

“Grandpa, is Grandpa okay?” Qing Yue'er asked worriedly.

“No, I have to check everything,” muttered Xie Song. Then he looked at Qing Yue'er seriously. “You should be back soon. I'll go to check the others.”

In fact, before Qing Yue'er could respond, the old man had already disappeared first. Just leave him alone and the stupor there. This really made Qing Yue'er clueless.

With an astonished feeling mixed with curiosity he moved to pick up the ruins on the floor. He could no longer see what kind of deity the Xie clan had upheld. This made him a little disappointed.

His eyes moved to find out. His hands ruffled the ruins on the floor until his feelings were stunned again. He took one piece of stone from one of the ruins of the statue. On top of the piece was a carving that made his heart tremble.

As if it had already been silenced, Qing Yue'er was speechless for a while. Then he turned his eyes around. However, he did not find anyone there. “Why should it be like this?” his murmur did not understand.

He grasped the already dilapidated rubble stone. He quickly ran out of the room and went down the stairs blindly. He should get the answer now.

His flight so fast and not caring about the surroundings made people who saw him become astonished. They were wondering about what Qing Yue'er was up to.

“Did he just see a ghost?”

“Do not talk nonsense.”

Qing Yue'er did not care about anyone else. Right now he just wanted to get his answer right away. However, just as he was feeling impatient, suddenly someone stopped his footsteps.

“Yue'er, are you okay?”

Qing Yue'er directly hid the piece of stone she was holding. He looked at his mother who was in front of him then smiled briefly. “I'm fine.”

“Do you feel hurt by what Grandpa Mao said? You don't trust him, do you?” xie Ying Fei asked. He looked at Qing Yue'er's unusual state so he thought the girl was still bothered by Xie Mao's remark.

Qing Yue'er looked at her mother then asked, “Do you want to say something?” He asked like this because he was in a hurry.

“Ya, please come with me. I want to talk about your father,” Xie Ying Fei said seriously.

Qing Yue'er finally closed her eyes for a moment. Looks like he should be concerned about his mother first. About that piece of stone he'll finish it later. Slowly he nodded too. “Good.”

The piece of stone in his hand instantly he stored it well. Then she followed her mother to her mother's house. It seems like the woman wanted to say everything. This made him feel a little relieved and also curious.

“Yue'er, speaking of your father, he is not the same as what Xie Mao said. Your father is not an irresponsible man. He didn't just leave us. He has every reason to do this,” Xie Ying Fei said after they arrived at his residence.

Today too she wanted to tell Qing Yue'er everything. The girl had the right to know that a person like Xie Mao could not influence Qing Yue'er's mind.

“Mother, I believe what Mom said. Father is definitely not such a person,” Qing Yue'er said. He held his mother's hand gently. The woman in front of him seemed to feel afraid if she would assume her father had behaved badly.

Xie Ying Fei seemed to sigh in relief. “Good if you think like that.”

Qing Yue'er nodded then asked, “Then can Mom tell me what really happened to Dad?”

“Yue'er, your father is no ordinary man. When I met him it was the most unexpected moments,” Xie Ying Fei said with a look of laughter. His memory goes back to years ago.

Back then Xie Ying Fei was exploring the Celestials in search of treasures that could increase her strength. As he was in a state of being cornered by danger, he met a virtuous man. The man helped her and saved her from danger.

Xie Ying Fei was injured and the man took good care of her. How could her tender feelings be untouchable? Although he was someone who had met many men and many had already tried to propose to him but nothing really convinced him.

Everything is different with that guy. Just from the words he said he was touched. Not to mention his inhumane appearance. Xie Ying Fei could not help but melt down. In just a short time, she was in love.

“Basically this is like the story of a hero who saves beauty,”, said Xie Ying Fei, ending with a ruckus.

Qing Yue'er could not help her smile. “Then father must be a good man.”

Xie Ying Fei nodded. “He was good, but unfortunately it was probably a mistake,” he said.

“How could that be a mistake? Please Mom explain to me.” Qing Yue'er looked curiously at her mother. She was so happy to hear what her mother told her. However, he felt uneasy when he saw the woman looking sad.

Baammite.

Qing Yue'er felt like she had just been struck in the depths of her soul. He could hardly believe what he was hearing. He thought his father was only someone prominent in the Celestial, or perhaps a person who had power in this Celestial realm. But it is a god! How does he have to respond to all this?

“True, Son. Your father was one of those high existences. I also ... At first I did not believe. He hides everything very well.”

Qing Yue'er's throat felt dry. His tongue became a club. With a blocked voice, he asked, “How ... then what happened?”

Xie Ying Fei looked at Qing Yue'er seriously. He made sure no one was listening. Even the access to this place was instantly shut down using its power. After all that, he began to explain.

“As I said, neither should humans nor gods love each other. It was a ban and this made your father have to get a tough punishment. For an ordinary human like me, what can I do?”

Qing Yue'er felt her mouth turn bitter. So, this is the truth. Then what should he do? How can he stop his father from being punished? Or at least how can he meet her?

“Stopping your father from punishment might be difficult because he has his own prison term. However, if you want to meet him then you must ascend and become one of the residents of the Heavenly Court.”

Qing Yue'er asked, “Heavenly Court? Is that the place of the gods?”

Xie Ying Fei nodded. “You're right. So, am I wrong if I want you to be one of them?” xie Ying Fei asked softly.

“No, Mother. Mother is not wrong. I ... I should indeed be able to go there,” Qing Yue'er said with drooping eyelids.

“Thank you,” said Xie Ying Fei from the depths of her heart. Then she hugged Qing Yue'er gently. Unknowingly the clear droplets came out from the corner of his eyes. “Finally what weighs on my mind has come off. I feel relieved to have told you.”

Qing Yue'er did not say anything. He just nodded until his mother let go of his embrace. The woman looked at him seriously. “Can I know who that man is?”

“Dia ... nobody. I think he is just someone who has lived in Celestial,” Qing Yue'er said as she turned her face away. He did not dare look at his mother's face.

“I don't know if what you're saying is true or not. However, you should know, I do not want you to undergo the same suffering as me. You ... I hope you won't love someone you shouldn't love.”

Qing Yue'er lowered her head. Then he forced to smile. “Mother, don't worry about me,” she said softly. He understood, his mother definitely did not want him to experience the same situation. Separated from her husband for years.

“What Mom is done? I have to go now.”

“Yes, I'm done. Sorry if I was late saying this.”

“Mother is innocent,” Qing Yue'er said. Then without saying anything else he went straight out of the room. With an uncertain feeling he ran towards one place.

Qing Yue'er continued to move until she arrived in front of the tightly shut door. He violently kicked the door open hard. A piece of stone again appeared in his hand before he finally threw it on the table.

Braakk!

Of course his actions instantly made Mo Jingtian surprised. He did not know what to say until the girl who was enveloped by anger asked, “Why did you destroy him? Do you think that way I won't know the truth?”

Qing Yue'er looked at Mo Jingtian not understanding. His feelings became increasingly uncertain. Anger, shock and sadness mixed into one. And this was the first time he had felt this kind of feeling.

“What happened? Why are you so angry?”

“Jingtian, I know it's you. This vermillion feather carving, I know only you have it. So, you're wrong if I won't know your identity. Didn't you destroy the statue in the tower just because you didn't want me to know?”

Both Qing Yue'er's eyes were reddened. Although he had once thought that Mo Jingtian was a god, but he did not heed it before there was really evidence. Now everything has been proven to be real. The carving that is on the stone ruins of the statue is a vermillion feather carving. Whereas Mo Jingtian was someone who was identical to the bird.

His heart could not escape the shock. Plus he understood this was a mistake. As her mother had said, she shouldn't have liked someone like Mo Jingtian. He shouldn't have anything to do with her.

Mo Jingtian let out a long sigh. He nodded a few times then said, “So, you already know about it. It was fine.”

“Yes, that's fine. And it will all end here,” Qing Yue'er said.

Mo Jingtian looked at Qing Yue'er fixedly. He knew this day would come. Whether it was now or he put it off for many years, still today was bound to arrive.

“Then what if I'm a god? And what if you were human? Why between me and you should hold on to our place?” mo Jingtian asked as she walked over. However, the girl backed away to stay away.

“Why are you still asking ‘lalu?” Qing Yue'er's two eyes became teary. She held him back from crying in front of Mo Jingtian. “I don't want to see you. Don't, don't ever come near me again.”

“Yue'er, listen to me—”

“I won't listen to you!” qing Yue'er exclaimed which directly cut off Mo Jingtian's words. “I never loved you and you .. Never love me. Never like me,” he said while shaking his head many times.

Mo Jingtian looked at Qing Yue'er wistfully. This was why he did not want Qing Yue'er to know about it now. The timing is not right. A fight would be unavoidable and he also knew what the girl was thinking. Qing Yue'er did not want him to get the punishment. That'sallthatis.

“You need time to think clearly,” Mo Jingtian said. “I'll leave you alone now. However, I have to tell you one thing.”

Qing Yue'er did not respond to Mo Jingtian's remarks. If she spoke more, she would probably cry soon. However, what he heard next really struck him.

“Yue'er, you are wrong to think I will stop.”
