Giving Birth But Not Raising, Why Are You Crying Now That I’ve Become an Immortal Emperor? - Chapter 33 - Chapter 33 – Then Let’s Fight! A Battle Between Father and Son!

“Our son is named Ye Lingyun! And you… are also called Ye Lingyun!”

After voicing the guess in his heart, Ye Chang’s gaze remained fixed tightly on Ye Lingyun’s cold face, trying to detect any hint of change that might confirm his suspicion.

Qin Yao was also staring at him anxiously at that moment. Her pearly teeth bit down on her red lips, her slender hand clutching Ye Chang’s sleeve tightly. Her beautiful, watery eyes were filled with urgency and hope.

The previously calm atmosphere between the three gradually turned tense.

But to Ye Chang and Qin Yao’s disappointment, a faint smirk slowly appeared on Ye Lingyun’s face—neither quite a smile nor a sneer—as if he’d just heard something ridiculous. He calmly replied with a rhetorical question: “Ye Lingyun? Are you trying to ask if I’m your long-lost son?”

Ye Chang nodded heavily. “That’s right!”

Ye Lingyun raised an eyebrow, his expression turning cold as he answered blandly: “I was indeed adopted by the Great Chu Empress, Chu Xi, but anything from my infancy, I can’t remember at all.”

“As for this Ye Lingyun you’re talking about, I don’t know who told you that, but you must have heard wrong. The name sister Chu Xi gave me is…”

“Ye Tian!”

The moment those words came out, Qin Yao’s pretty face turned pale, as if all strength had been drained from her body, and she looked like she might collapse.

In the end, she still didn’t get the answer she longed for.

Ye Chang’s eyes also flickered with a trace of emotional turmoil, and his brows knit together tightly.

Only now did the two of them begin to face the difficult and complicated question that had haunted their hearts for years.

Ye Tian. Ye Lingyun.

If they were truly the same person, how were they—his birth parents—supposed to face this child they had given away at birth, who had almost been eaten by a great demon?

After that tragedy, they had been wracked with guilt for twenty years, silently blaming themselves time and time again.

After all, the child was innocent. If only they hadn’t been blinded by selfish reasons back then, none of this would have happened.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave.”

Ye Lingyun didn’t bother addressing their regret and calmly spoke before turning to walk away.

Seeing this, Ye Chang panicked and stepped forward suddenly, grabbing Ye Lingyun’s arm tightly.

“Hold on!”

It must be said—Ye Chang, a famed general of Great Qi, was at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, about to step into the Body Integration stage. In his anxiety, his grip was like steel—immovable.

But something even more shocking happened!

Ye Lingyun’s brow furrowed, and a surge of spiritual power exploded from his body. A sharp, murderous aura erupted from the Lüxian Sword imprint on his right arm—murderous intent roared forth!

Boom!

Dong dong dong!

A whirlwind sprang up from the ground, violently shaking Ye Chang’s hand loose and forcing him back several steps!

By the time he stabilized himself, Ye Chang’s authoritative eyes were filled with utter shock.

That sword aura just now—it carried such heavy killing intent!

This kid—how could he, at such a young age, harbor such terrifying murderous will?!

Qin Yao was also completely stunned, her hands clenched tight. She rushed forward, trying to separate the two men, only to be stopped by Ye Chang.

“Your age and background match exactly with our son’s.”

“That’s why we want to confirm it,” Ye Chang said gravely, staring at Ye Lingyun.

Hearing this, Ye Lingyun sneered, his face filled with disdain.

“And how exactly do you intend to ‘confirm’ it?”

Ye Chang answered immediately: “Everyone born of the Ye Clan, after reaching adulthood, awakens the Human King bloodline!”

“If you give me just one drop of your essence blood, I can take it back to the clan for testing. Although the traits of the Human King bloodline are subtle, our clan has a legacy formation that can detect it.”

“If you possess the Human King bloodline—then you are our son!”

Ye Lingyun’s expression shifted subtly upon hearing this.

When he came of age, he did indeed awaken a powerful bloodline.

He only remembered that at the time, his blood had boiled, spiritual power had surged violently—and it even triggered the unparalleled comprehension.

[You have awakened the Human King bloodline. Tracing its ancestral origins… your bloodline has evolved into the Human Emperor bloodline!]

So that was the Human King bloodline?

Ye Lingyun’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a glint of sharp light flickered deep within them.

Moreover, according to the system, it had even evolved into the Human Emperor bloodline.

Ever since that awakening, his cultivation speed had doubled, and his physique had become incomparably stronger. He’d gained tremendous benefits.

However—

“There’s no need. If I am your son, then I’ll never forgive what you did back then. There’s no way I’d acknowledge you. Even if I knew the truth, what difference would it make?”

“And if I’m not your son, then there’s even less reason to bother.”

Ye Lingyun spoke coldly and flatly rejected them.

Seeing how resolute he was, Ye Chang’s expression changed slightly. He stepped forward, his stern gaze locked on Ye Lingyun, his tone growing more forceful: “But we need to know the truth!”

At that, Ye Lingyun let out a cold laugh and raised his eyes to meet Ye Chang’s gaze head-on, without flinching in the slightest.

“What? Planning to forcefully take a drop of my essence blood?”

“Heh, so overbearing. No wonder you were capable of sending your own son away to be raised by someone else.”

As soon as those words landed, Ye Chang was absolutely furious—his seven orifices were practically spewing smoke.

He was going numb!

“You—!!”

Ye Lingyun laughed heartily. His face seemed casual, but his eyes shone with deadly seriousness.

“What, wanna fight?”

“You could give your own son away—I’ve had enough of your face since the beginning.”

Ye Chang clenched his fists tightly and immediately retorted: “Then let’s fight!”

With that, he prepared to make his move and go all out!

But Ye Lingyun’s next sentence, laced with biting sarcasm, caused his movements to halt for a moment.

“Picking on someone younger than you—is this the extent of the Northern Marquis of Great Qi’s prowess?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chang’s face twitched violently.

He was really going numb!

“Hmph! You think you’re worthy of me going all out? I’ll just suppress my cultivation to the Soul Transformation!”

Ye Chang’s eyes flared wide, shouting with fury.

Seeing the situation on the verge of exploding, Qin Yao could no longer stand by and rushed forward to stop them, throwing herself in front of Ye Chang.

“Brother Chang, don’t—”

But before she could even finish her plea, Ye Chang cut her off.

“Yao’er, don’t stop me!”

Without waiting for her response, Ye Chang’s spiritual energy exploded skyward. His figure flashed—and in an instant, he was standing atop the dueling stone platform.

“Brat, get up here!”

Ye Lingyun immediately followed and stepped onto the platform.

Clang!

With a loud, majestic ring, the Jiuli Sword, radiating golden light, was unsheathed with force. He gripped it tightly, pointing it directly ahead!

His jet-black pupils reflected Ye Chang’s tall, imposing figure. Ye Lingyun’s face remained calm and collected.

The matter of being sent away all those years ago—

Today, he’d collect some interest.
