"That's correct, I am indeed the Palace Lord of the Reincarnation Palace."
Su Qingluo directly acknowledged.
"What in the world is going on here?"
Both the Fat Monk and the old man turned their gazes towards Ye Yunfei, appearing somewhat surprised.
The Palace Lord of the Reincarnation Palace from the Main World was a major figure; they couldn't figure out why Ye Yunfei was with her, and they seemed quite familiar at that.
The two of them were unaware of Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo's past.
"Seniors, the matter between Qing Luo and myself... well, it's a long story..."
Ye Yunfei explained.
"Qing Luo?"
Both the Fat Monk and the old man were taken aback.
"It looks like their relationship isn't ordinary," they transmitted secretly to each other.
They could already infer something from Ye Yunfei's wording.
"Alright, no need to say more.
You still have matters to attend to next," the old man said with a smile.
"Matters to attend to?
What matters?"
Ye Yunfei asked.
The old man's gaze shifted to Su Qingluo.
"Senior, Qing Luo is one of us," Ye Yunfei understood the old man's implication.
"No. Even if she's one of 'your' people, there is still a faction behind her.
For the time being, I do not know which side her faction will stand on," the old man shook his head.
"Senior, he may not be able to help you with your tasks right now, as he is currently in grave danger. He must follow me back to the Reincarnation Palace immediately," Su Qingluo said, not knowing the origins of the old man and Fat Monk before her. She believed the safest course for Ye Yunfei was to return with her to the Reincarnation Palace headquarters to evade the pursuit of those Earth Immortal experts.
"In grave danger?
What happened?"
Hearing Su Qingluo's words, both the old man and the Fat Monk were startled and looked at Ye Yunfei.
"Two Seniors, while inside that secret realm, I provoked quite a few Earth Immortal experts. Once those Earth Immortal experts emerge, they will surely come looking for trouble with me.
Furthermore, those within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds who are connected to me will also be implicated. So now, I must gather my people and find a place to hide."
Ye Yunfei said.
"You, at the Heavenly Emperor Realm, provoked a lot of Earth Immortal experts?"
After hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the old man and the Fat Monk were somewhat dumbfounded.
"It's because of me.
He made enemies of those Earth Immortals by helping me," Su Qingluo added from the side.
"So that's how it is."
Finally understanding, the two nodded.
This made it even clearer to them that the relationship between Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo was absolutely not ordinary.
"Well then, we will find a way to protect your people. Don't worry.
Although this girl is the Palace Lord of the Reincarnation Palace, I know for a fact that Patriarch Samsara holds the greatest authority within the Reincarnation Palace. Aside from Patriarch Samsara, there are also four Supreme Elders within the ancestral grounds of the palace, who also wield significant power.
Therefore, even if this girl is willing to accept you and your people, it's not certain the other high-ranking members of the Reincarnation Palace would.
Moreover, you are currently part of *our* faction. There's no need to seek protection from the Reincarnation Palace," the old man said after a moment's thought.
"You are part of *their* faction?"
Su Qingluo, having heard the old man's words, turned her gaze to Ye Yunfei and asked.
"Yes."
Ye Yunfei directly nodded in acknowledgment.
Having joined the Light Faction, he naturally belonged to them now.
"What exactly is going on?
What are the identities and backgrounds of these two?
How could you be part of their faction?
They are very mysterious. They are merely two avatars. I cannot deduce the true strength of their main bodies," Su Qingluo sent a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei asking.
"Qing Luo, you're starting to be concerned about me," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile through a Sound Transmission.
"Don't talk nonsense!
Who is concerned about you!
I'm just curious!" Su Qingluo's face flushed red as she angrily replied.
"Qing Luo, I can tell you, but you must promise me not to tell anyone else, including the elders of your Reincarnation Palace," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and transmitted back to Su Qingluo.
Ye Yunfei could sense that Su Qingluo was gradually beginning to accept him again, so he no longer considered her an outsider.
"Alright," Su Qingluo nodded.
"They are members of the Light Faction.
I have also joined the Light Faction, so I am now a member of the Light Faction as well," Ye Yunfei said.
"The Light Faction!
You are already a member of the Light Faction!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Su Qingluo couldn't help but show an astonished expression.
As the Palace Lord of the Reincarnation Palace, she naturally had heard of the Light Faction and the Dark Faction.
"Yes.
I have joined the Light Faction," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Why did you join the Light Faction?"
Su Qingluo thought for a moment and asked.
"To protect the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
And also because I've long since incurred enmity with the Dark Faction. There was no other choice," Ye Yunfei answered.
"To protect the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds...
I knew it. You're that kind of person," Su Qingluo, after hearing Ye Yunfei's answer, stared blankly for a long moment before sighing softly.
"However, you must be careful. The Dark Faction is very powerful, truly powerful. Even our Reincarnation Palace is unwilling to provoke the Dark Faction," Su Qingluo earnestly cautioned Ye Yunfei.
"Don't worry. I will be careful," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Since you are a member of the Light Faction.
Then you don't need my protection.
The background and strength of the Light Faction, compared to our Reincarnation Palace, is no weaker and perhaps even stronger.
Just remember, no matter what, regardless of the circumstances, what's most important for a person is to rely on themselves.
Also, if you truly encounter a crisis you cannot resolve, you can come to the Reincarnation Palace to find me."
Su Qingluo's beautiful eyes gazed at Ye Yunfei as she spoke softly.
Then she took out a token and placed it in Ye Yunfei's palm.
"I'm going back.
There are many matters awaiting my return at the Reincarnation Palace," Su Qingluo said to Ye Yunfei.
"Two Seniors, I'll be going now," Su Qingluo said to the old man and the Fat Monk, then turned and took a single step, vanishing instantly.
"It seems the strength of the Light Faction is truly impressive.
After Qing Luo found out I was a member of the Light Faction, she was no longer too worried about my safety and felt assured enough to leave," Ye Yunfei thought inwardly, looking at the spot where Su Qingluo disappeared.
"Kid, you really have a way! You've actually wooed the palace lord of the Reincarnation Palace!
Can't say I'm not impressed!"
After Su Qingluo left, the Fat Monk couldn't help clicking his tongue in admiration.
"Hehe...
Looks like you're quite the expert with women as well," the old man also said with a laugh.
"Two Seniors, Qing Luo and I met a long time ago," Ye Yunfei explained.
"Oh?
You knew each other a long time ago?
Hmm, it seems there is history between the two of you.
However, that is your private affair. We won't pry," the old man was taken aback for a moment, then said.
"Rest assured, I will immediately dispatch people to protect all those within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds who are related to you.
If they are willing, I will have them relocate to some special Small Worlds for residence and cultivation," the old man said to Ye Yunfei.
"Some special Small Worlds?" Ye Yunfei was somewhat curious.
"They are some Small Worlds controlled by our Light Faction.
Those Small Worlds are abundant in energy, with complete laws, very beneficial for the cultivation of living beings," the old man explained.
"So that's how it is! Then many thanks, Senior!"
Ye Yunfei was overjoyed.
This way, Ye Yunfei no longer had worries about his people's safety!
