Chapter 823 - 823 14.99 Last Violet Star - (Past) Woke up
Yun Xiajie’s eyes first opened in a place that was absolutely dark, but despite how dark the area was, he could make out what may be hidden there and that this realm was entirely under his power.
“Where is this?” he murmured.
{The Abyss. A world where darkness is conceived and birthed,} a voice from an unidentified place said.
The Second Young Master, Yun Xiajie, frowns as he realizes where he was and that this voice is somewhat similar to his. He also remembered seeing an adult version of himself before he passed out. What shocked him was that despite the darkness around him, he could still see himself well even without a light.
“Who are you, what brought me here, and why?”
{You are me. You were taken to Abyss because no one could spy on us there because this is our domain, and I brought you here because I wanted to tell you a few things.}????e??????????o??e??. ??????
Yun Xiajie was perplexed and questioned, “Our domain? What are you talking about?”
{You’ll realize who we truly are in the future. Why did we enter this world? Why are you unable to recall your past, and how significant is Jing’er to us? How dare you demean the most important person in our lives in such a way, I simply couldn’t take it any longer. Why must you yell at him?
.....
The phrases you previously spoke... You didn’t deserve to humiliate Jing’er, I can assure you that we don’t have that right. Who do you suppose has been sustaining our lives all this time? You are but a small portion of my soul, and if I weren’t worried about wasting my wife’s work, I would have killed you on the spot!} [This is Xia Jieye speaking to his soul fragment.]
The mature version of his voice, which is identical to his, contained wrath that Yun Xiajie could sense. In contrast to his conflicted feelings, the speaker of this voice is openly expressing his love and concern for Jing’er. He wishes he could accomplish something like that.
“I regret having said those things. I didn’t intend to, but I just can’t help myself.”
{Hmp! Even if the Heavenly Laws are in charge of you, how can’t you exert control over it? I’ll show you how to break your bond with that collection of pointless wills. We were only outsiders in this world, you and I. It didn’t have the right to limit you. You may do whatever you want as long as you don’t accidentally end the world.}
{Frankly, I don’t mind if it is also destroyed. Simply put, our wife needed to take care of a few things while he was here, therefore you really must assist him. I’m still unable to talk about our initial memories. However, I’ll deliver it to you gradually. Till the day you recall everything completely, one at a time. I’ve given you something to improve your vessel. The seals in your soul would gradually break down as long as the vessel got stronger.}
{There is only one thing you need to keep in mind. Jing’er is the most important person in our life. You must keep him safe regardless of the circumstances... We’re losing contact with each other. They were too quick to notice. After some time, you would begin to wake up in reality. Remember what I said... By the way, what your brother did is unforgivable.}
Yun Xiajie wanted to stop the voice from leaving but since he doesn’t know where he is, there is nothing that can be done. The black world slowly fragmented in the last moment before he woke up in reality, he saw a beautiful silvered-haired man sleeping on a black throne. The face looks extremely familiar to him. It was an adult and fairy version of Bai Wuan. A face that has otherworldly and exquisite features as if his face were an embodiment of perfection, especially those phoenix-shaped eyes which are closed at this moment. It was really satisfying to watch a beauty sleep.
There is nothing Yun Xiajie can do to stop the voice from vanishing because he doesn’t know where he is. In the final split-second, before he awoke in reality, he saw a gorgeous man with silver hair sleeping on a black throne. He feels that the face is really familiar. It was Bai Wuan that looked like a fairy and an adult version of himself. His face has unearthly characteristics and fine details that make him appear to be the epitome of perfection, especially those closed phoenix-shaped eyes. Watching a beautiful slumber was quite fulfilling. But before he could reach out to touch he disappeared from that world.

Back in reality...
Yun Huaxia had no choice but to visit his younger brother in the Medicine Hall after being ejected by his own father from the Main Peak’s hall. The surroundings are the same as when he last came here. Rows of herbs and medications were displayed on shelves in each corner of the room, and the room was filled with the aroma of herbs. The bedding was white and spotless.
His younger brother was dozing peacefully on one of the beds in the room with his eyes closed.
Undoubtedly, he is only sleeping, as the elders claimed. However, Yun Huaxia couldn’t help but feel terrible after witnessing his little brother suddenly fainting before his eyes. He grasped one of his hands and knelt next to his brother’s bed. Although he made every effort to stop his tears from flowing, they eventually started to trickle down his cheeks.
Sobs~
Yun Huaxia mumbles, “Xiao Jie, I have done you wrong. Brother is at fault. I shouldn’t have... Shouldn’t have called Bai Wuan during his mission? Xiao Jie, I don’t know what happened to A’Wuan, but I and the elders felt something bad must have happened to him. It was all your brother’s fault. I made a reckless action just now and caused all this. Please forgive me! I really... really didn’t mean for that to happen, Xiao Jie...”
The First Young Master, Yun Huaxia, didn’t even detect the presence coming from behind when he was in a remorseful mood. He didn’t realize someone was behind him until he felt his robe’s back collar tugged hard by someone.
Yun Huaxia was ready to yell, “Who the he—!” when he smelled a strong blood aroma and noticed long silver hair dyed in the blood that appeared to be flying in front of his face.
He called the individual’s name as soon as he recognized who the man emerged in front of him.
“A’Wuan!!?”
Bai Wuan looks at his husband’s body as it lies on the bed. He can see that the seals protecting his soul are beginning to fracture, but because the Origin of the Highest Realm created them, it will take some time before they are entirely broken. He was aware that his spouse must be trying to release the seal over him, but right now is not the appropriate moment. His vessel is still too frail. If the seal were forcibly broken, the latent divinity in the soul would obliterate the physical vessel.
Bai Wuan pleaded with A’Xia, “Stop what you are doing! Your body is too weak; the minute you break your seals, you will quickly die. Please... Please do it slowly. Take your time.”
Cough!
“A’Wuan!”
Yun Huaxia is not a fool. He immediately recognized that Bai Wuan must be hurt when he smelled blood. He instantly provided him with assistance from behind as soon as he saw him spit blood.
Yun Huaxia said, “Doctor! Please come over here!” as he noticed a little blood spot beneath Bai Wuan’s shoes. “Please respond, A’Wuan, where are you hurt?”
In this event, the first young master of Yun was in a frenzy. When the medical professionals from the Medicine Hall rushed inside the hospital room, he instantly supported Bai Wuan in settling down on the edge of Yun Xiajie’s bed.
The head physician of the Medicine Hall questioned, “First Young Master, have you seen Disciple Bai Wuan? We were told he was mortally wounded.”
Come over here and check on him,” Yun Huaxia said, “He started bleeding so heavily!”
When everyone saw Bai Wuan dressed in all-black robes with a strong bloody odor emanating from him, the doctor immediately recognized the location of the wound from the crumpled, damp chest area of the robe. He observed the formerly white bandages had changed color as he opened Bai Wuan’s robe. Too much blood had been absorbed into it for the original hue to be seen.
The doctor asked as he treated Bai Wuan, “He is injured in the chest!? Did his heart get stabbed?”
“Not directly in the heart. It was a few inches away from it. We used every available method to halt the blood flow and briefly took certain actions, but... As soon as we arrived at the Lan Zhuayun Sect’s gates, the Lord ran off!” one of Bai Wuan’s subordinates had said.
The doctor said, “I need to check his wounds firsthand. Get me some warm towels, scissors, and disinfection! Hurry!!!” He wouldn’t have survived if his heart point had been damaged.
The followers of the medical hall exclaimed, “Y-Yes!”
The doctor cautiously began to cut the bandage covering Bai Wuan’s chest. When the damp bandages were taken off, they discovered a hole close to the heart. They could somehow see his heart directly beating, and it was at least one inch large. When everyone saw the wound on Bai Wuan’s chest, they were all shocked. The wound was extremely deadly, but it also put Bai Wuan in danger of passing away.
The doctor’s face took on an expression of solemn astonishment. He was aware that the wound’s position was highly risky, but he could also see that the heart and the chest’s major veins had been spared and were uninjured.
The doctor said, “This child is amazing! This attack must have been meant to stab his heart directly yet he was still able to dodge it. There are no damaged veins, so we can patch it up right away. Get a light element user to treat his wound.”
When the doctor’s hand was abruptly grabbed, Bai Wuan’s calm silver eyes met his and he heard the patient mutter, “N-Not light element. I’m not... compatible with it. Just... Just sew the wounds shut.”
“What!?”
Hearing what Bai Wuan had just demanded, everyone was in a state of shock. They were also taken aback to discover that there is someone in this world who is incompatible with light elements.
The doctor questioned, “Are you implying that if we used a light source on you, your wounds would become worse?”
Since Bai Wuan was no longer able to talk, he just made eye contact with the medical professionals. Afterward, he fainted from too much loss of blood. Meanwhile, the doctor decided to trust him after hearing this response, even though there aren’t any known instances of people who are incompatible with light components. The doctor decides to trust his patient since there is a risk of harm.
“Get me my surgical tools. I will sew up his wound,” the doctor said.
Yun Huaxia calls, “Elder!!!”
“Since the patient has already stated that he is incompatible with light elements, we cannot use them to treat his wounds,” the doctor said. “First young master we can’t put his life in more harm. There are cases of worse element compatibility before and those that go against it either died on spot or became crippled for life.”
“There must be another way,” Yun Hua questioned. “That’s the chest region next to the heart. What if you inadvertently damage his heart?”
“What do you want me to do next, first young master? I cannot leave his wound open like this, he will continue to lose blood until he dies in the end!” the doctor said. “There is another way, but what it needs is even rarer than light elements. His wound can be healed by blood elements instead, but... A person who possessed blood elements is very rarely seen.”
The doctor and Yun Huaxia were at a standstill. Although trying to stitch a cut close to the heart is risky, leaving the wound untreated would be like waiting to die. After all, the fatal wound is located near the heart. Yun Xiajie eventually opened his eyes as the two were wasting their time in this manner. The sight of Bai Wuan with their chest covered in blood with his face completely white from lack of blood made him panic.
He promptly got to his feet and pushed the people encircling Bai Wuan away. Whether the individuals he is now pushing are his elder brother and a sect elder is no longer important to Yun Xiajie. All of his attention was on Bai Wuan.
Seeing the gaping cut on Bai Wuan’s chest, Yun Xiajie cautiously cradled the boy in his arms as his eyes glistened. He is so nervous that he assumes the body he is holding is already a corpse. He envisaged the worst-case scenario when he saw Bai Wuan bleeding profusely from a chest wound and thought that his beloved was killed through a stab in the heart.
“J-Jing’er? This cannot be...” with a trembling hand, Yun Xiajie brushed Bai Wuan’s cold cheeks.
Since his childhood, Bai Wuan’s body temperature had been on the low side, and because he had lost so much blood, his body had grown considerably colder than usual. Yes, or at least closer to the temperature of a corpse.
Yun Xiajie could not refrain from crying as he gazed at Bai Wuan’s closed eyes. This scene completely stunned everyone. Is this still their second young master, who is emotionless? This is the first time he’s seen him cry like this, aside from when they lost Madam Yun. Like a little child who has lost everything important in this world
