<h4>Chapter 1025: Equal Match</h4>

    Ye Xiao was lost in thoughts.


    When he was Xiao Monarch in the previous life, he had only experienced the difficulty at the beginning of his life. After that, he had been living like a dragon and be a super powerful cultivator at the end.


    He had the power and social position to do all those glorious and heroic things!


    However, he never knew the rules all those small ns should follow to survive the world because he was never a member of any n.


    Just like Ye Tianchen said, Ye n was not a big n. It seemed to be a conqueror of a certain area, but was, in fact, nothing in the eyes of the true powerful figures. That was awkward. They could have been wiped out just because they identally pissed off a powerful man.


    It was such an awkward situation for a n because of the position the n was in. They were better than the worst but much worse than the best. They had no powerful support from outside. The real powerful figures never cared for such an unimportant n. They were living to survive in the crevice of the society.


    What they had to pay for the survival were always too sorrowful and insufferable to tell!


    The young generation of Song n, Ye n, and Li n seemed to be riding the high horses in Oracle District, like they were only second to god, but the leadership of these ns clearly knew that they were just nothing in people’s eyes when they went out this district. They were too weak.


    That was the reason why people in Oracle District barely left their hometown to seek for more sessful achievement!


    For those powerful sects, any forces from Oracle District were just some weak medicine collectors.


    They were only useful for medicine collection, nothing more.


    After all, people in powerful sects would never go to the wild only to collect some medicines. That was wasting time and reducing their value.


    It was perfect to let the native people in Oracle District do the meaningless work!


    “He meant every word he said. He was telling the truth,” Xuan Bing talked to Ye Xiao through mindmunication.


    In fact, even if Xuan Bing didn’t say anything, Ye Xiao knew it himself. This forefather of Ye n was telling the truth. He meant every word he just said. He was being honest because he wanted to exin it to Ye Xiao. He wanted Ye Xiao to stop ming the leadership of Ye n.


    Ye Xiao ndly said, “I have no interest in your n business. However, I appreciate your exnation. And I am sorry to hear it.”


    Ye Tianchen spoke bitterly with a smile, “No need to appreciate me. No need to feel sorry. I have been feeling the pain for many years. I am old. I guess I should at least tell the public why we made that decision.


    “It has been buried inside my heart. It tortured me. I am afraid that the truth from my side will be buried with my dead body one day and nobody will ever get to know it, nobody will understand why we did it.


    He smiled bitterly and said, “When we knew Nantian might be friends with a saintess in Qiong-Hua Pce, we were so happy because it was such a great thing for us. We might get a long-term connection to Qiong-Hua Pce. That was definitely a great opportunity for Ye n to rise.


    “However, Nantian should never be lovers with the saintess and even dream about marrying her. The step he took in their rtionship caused a disaster in Ye n.”


    “Dragon to dragon; phoenix to phoenix; mouse to mouse…” Ye Tianchen seemed self-mocking. He smiled bitterly and said, “It is the basic standard for a couple to be equally matched. Ye n is so much weaker than Qiong-Hua Pce. We are in two totally different leagues. They didn’t get the right to marry each other. Besides, Ye Nantian was going to marry a saintess of Qiong-Hua Pce.


    “For example, if a millionaire’s daughter is going to marry a guy who was poor and heavily-indebted, he might want to cripple his own daughter, but he would definitely disable that stupid man.


    “It wasn’t just about respect… It concerns a lot of things. It concerns one’s dignity, emotion, friend circle, reputation… Qiong-Hua Pce could never ept such an embarrassment. Ye n was never qualified enough to be connected to them in such a way. It is fine if a toad only dreams about marrying a swan, but it will be courting death if it attempts to do so.”


    What Ye Tianchen said was understandable for Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao totally got it.


    If Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue were only friends, even close friends, she would still be the saintess of Qiong-Hua Pce, so she was definitely capable of benefiting Ye n to help them rise soon.


    However, if they were married, it meant Qiong-Hua Pce’s saintess was stained.


    When a toad married the swan, the swan was no longer anything graceful, elegant, and special. A saintess who married a man from a low n was no longer a saintess. When that happened, if the great pce only med the person who stained their saintess but spared the others in his n, it would be a great mercy.


    In fact, if Ye Nantian was in a higher position in the martial world, things might end up differently. If he was a disciple of one of the seven great sects, he might be considered an equal match to her.


    However, he was not!


    He was only a man of a local n of Oracle District. Even though he was known as a talented man in his n, it wouldn’t help.


    That was where the tragedy began.


    “Equal match…” Ye Xiao made a long sigh.


    “There may be lots of unworthy men in the n. We may have made many decisions that destroyed our talented members, but… it is something we have to do.”


    Ye Tianchen spoke seriously, “The n has to live on. When the water is too clear, there are no fish. One should not demand absolute purity, otherwise, he will have no friends.


    “I decided toe today because deep in my heart, I know I have to do this. I have to seize the opportunity to ask for your help so that our n will live on.”


    He made a long sigh and looked at Ye Xiao. “Please, little brother, I am begging your forgiveness. I have exined about the past. This time, the trip to the mountain, Ye n has to be a part of it.”


    “No! No way!” Li n people jumped out and shouted before Ye Tianchen finished. “Brother Ye is our honorable guest. We made a deal… Why do you Ye n have to make such demand…”
