Yuwen Heyue followed his gaze and saw Yuwen Qingkong and his group on the Heavenly Ladder.
Somewhat surprised, his elder brother actually had the leisure to climb the Heavenly Ladder.
Yuwen Qingkong was taller than Yuwen Heyue, wearing a bright yellow fifth-grade Dharma robe with a golden dragon soaring through the clouds embroidered on the hem, and a golden fourth-grade Dharma crown. He walked at the front, followed not far behind by Ouyang Shaoqing, dressed in black, and then a few scattered cultivators from the imperial dynasty.
Neither Yuwen Qingkong nor Ouyang Shaoqing were affected by the gravity or illusions on the Heavenly Ladder, and they calmly stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder.
Yuwen Heyue stepped forward and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, elder brother."
Yuwen Qingkong nodded gently, looked at Yuwen Heyue with a warm expression, and praised, "Not bad, you have already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage."
"It seems you haven't been slacking off at the Tai Xuan Sword Sect all these years."
Yuwen Heyue straightened up instinctively and promised, "Don't worry, elder brother, I will definitely work hard in my cultivation."
Yuwen Qingkong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Mm."
Yuwen Heyue was raised by Yuwen Qingkong from a young age.
Their mother died early, and their father was obsessed with cultivation.
Their father married their mother only to ensure the continuation of the dynasty; he had no feelings for her and did not care much about the two children.
When the Empress passed away, Yuwen Qingkong was only six years old, while Yuwen Heyue was only two years old.
The two brothers depended on each other for survival until Yuwen Qingkong was 15 years old. When the elders of the Tai Xuan Sword Sect came to the imperial court to recruit disciples, they took a liking to the two brothers, Yuwen Qingkong and Yuwen Heyue, who both had a single metal-type spiritual root.
The Emperor naturally disagreed with the two brothers joining the Tai Xuan Sword Sect at the same time; one of them had to remain in the Imperial Court.
Yuwen Qingkong was well aware of this.
However, Yuwen Heyue, who was only 11 years old at the time and was well protected by Yuwen Qingkong, was unaware of this.
He was very excited to learn that the elders of the Tai Xuan Sword Sect, who were recruiting disciples, had taken a liking to him and his elder brother and intended to bring them back to the Tai Xuan Sword Sect.
Unable to sleep, he kept talking to Yuwen Qingkong all night, mostly about his hopes for what would happen after they went to the Tai Xuan Sword Sect.
The next morning, Yuwen Qingkong found the emperor and told him that he was willing to stay and asked his father to allow Yuwen Heyue to join the Tai Xuan Sword Sect to learn swordsmanship.
Afterwards, Yuwen Heyue was taken to the Tai Xuan Sword Sect. Because of his good cultivation aptitude, he became a disciple of Xuanxin Sword Master and became the second senior brother of the Tai Xuan Sword Sect.
Now, thirty years have passed.
Yuwen Heyue looked at Yuwen Qingkong with delight, his eyes filled with respect and admiration.
He really wanted to go up and hug his older brother.
However, he was also worried that his older brother, who valued rules and etiquette, would think he wasn't mature enough.
Perhaps the longing in his eyes was too obvious, so Yuwen Qingkong stepped forward, reached out and hugged him, just like when they were children, and gently patted his back.
Feeling his elder brother's warm embrace, Yuwen Heyue's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Once he calmed down, he put on a smile and led Yuwen Qingkong to his residence, telling her all sorts of interesting stories about his years in the Tai Xuan Sword Sect.
Yuwen Heyue explained in great detail, and Yuwen Qingkong listened attentively, a rare gentle smile on his face.
Only after Ouyang Heshun and the other two had walked far away did he realize that his elder brother had left without a word, without even saying goodbye.
Ouyang Heshun: "..."
