Zhou Ye then decided that they could like be taught Celestial Origin or atleast the body and decided to intervene and as he was going down he saw the two he slowly flew down and the Spirit practicioners immediately stopped as they saw someone flying down and in immediate reply with scared voices they shouted "Hold! Senior while you are an elightened can you atleast give face to the Zhenren Empire.....?!"
It could be said that whilst enlightened beings were capable of defeating dozens of soul emperors even they had an limited life span and such even they would eventually crumble to dust and disappear after they're life span ended and afterall there was another enlightened being on the Black Serpent Continent
However they grew even more scared when they saw Yuan Li saying "Senior... are these people being in your way?" Yuan Li was quite the well known face as he was usually sent on important missions for the empire and finished all of them quick time and accuracy. The two kids had fainted by the time Zhou Ye fell down only seeing a figure coming down.
Zhou Ye said with a voice containing enlightened aura said "Leave them.... Now!" The voice pushed back the practicioners and they all coughed several mouthfulls of blood as they felt that the voice crushed their physical bodies.
Quickly then they limped away in fear that Zhou Ye would change his mind. Zhou Ye looked to Yuan Li and said "Take these two kids as your disciples... Once they are Spirit Master i will reward you and take them on as my disciples as for there homes send them to Ven Country and the 3rd Class city near the mountains without a citylord ... do not tell them of your status nor of mine but have them live near a family with the surname Zhou the names of them are Zhou Li and Zhou Shan." Yuan Li nodded in obedience and just before he took the two away Zhou Ye stopped him and said "Have them take on my surname "Ye". Yuan Li then immediately disappeared into thin air
Zhou Ye then quickly flew the the heart of the Zhenren Empire one of the 8 great kingdoms the Mo Overlordship and its Capital Mo Domain where the council of elders where situated as he was flying there he could hear an old voice saying "It would be best to find Liu Yan quickly though he's only at initial Soul with his treasure he may be a bit of trouble for Yuan Li to find him..."'
An slightly younger voice coming from someone seeming to be middle aged saying a quite loud voice "Nonsense! Yuan Li shouldn't have that much trouble we should need to wait a day or so at most" Whilst the members of the council mainly consisted of Great souls and a few Grand souls their seniority was far higher than Yuan Li.
Zhou Ye was now above the meeting place of the council and slowly flew down and as he did an extremely old Soul Emperor who seemed that he could barely stay alive was in fact the strongest council member quietly said "It appears we have an esteemed guest?" Zhou Ye could be seen flying down in which caused quite the shock on the council and of course his face was distorted due to his aura and then Zhou Ye quietly said "Greetings, fellow cultivators... my name is Ye Zhou and i have simply borrowed Yuan Li for sometime....and i would hope you keep this meeting a secret" As he did the space distorted and Zhou Ye disappeared in to thin air.
Visible shock appeared on the council's face and then they started to talk with each other and made an announcement that noone was to enter the council even on dire circumstances as they were busy deciding what to do in reactions to this.

Zhou Ye quickly sped to his home as he felt the energy quickly disappearing and thus decided that he should go home quickly and as he did beyond the stars a figure could be seen and this was none other than the figure whom was previously at the edge of an immortal realm! The figure was now looking down upon from up above and grinned before disappearing and saying in an archaic voice "Hmmm i wonder how hell's tribulation will be of to this child..."
Zhou Ye got home and lied on his bed exhausted thinking of what has happened during the past 7 months and as he did he decided that it was almost time to breakthrough to Spirit Practitioner by the end of the year. As he thought of all this he saw Yuan Li bringing two children and then so was unable to see them anymore as the power ran out he saw Yuan Li bringing the two children near his home.
Yuan Li was able to get to Zhou Ye's house at a relative speed due to Zhou Ye flying leisurely only at the speed needed to take to go home without going to fast as well as the fact that Zhou Ye moved slowly to admire the scenery from up above. As Yuan Li was walking with the two children he said "Alright nephew and niece... your new surname will be Ye from now on do not forget... and becareful when you use your old surname of Rosuf.." Yuan Li reminded the two as he was walking to the house
Yuan Li was naturally wearing a disguise it was a grey robe and he had white hair and a short white bearded and introduced himself as someone else to his parents "My name is Yua Nil and these two are my "friends"... children" Naturally Yuan Li dared not to claim the children as his own because the children and more likely "Ye Zhou" would get suspicious as well as the fact that Yuan Li introduced himselves to the children as their parents family friends as to avoid hostility and fear from the children as well as the fear that "Ye Zhou" would get angry at him.
Zhou Ye's mother was the first to reply introducing herself with the same beautiful and smiling face looking the way she normally looks and she replied with "Hi! my name is Zhou Li and this is my husba..." Before she could finish the word husband Zhou Ye's father started to introduce himself and said "ahahaha (laugh) Friend my name is Zhou Shan its nice to meet you!" Yuan Li felt somewhat weired interacting with the two as he wouldn't have usual interactions with people like these.
Zhou Ye was still lying on his bed whilst this was all happening and he could hear all the interactions and as he attempted to ignore them he heard his mother say "Ye'er why don't you come outside!? to visit our new neighbours!" Zhou Ye then changed into the clothes he normally wore and went to the door running and said "Greetings uncle!" When this was said Yuan Li had a weired look on his face as he normally wouldn't be called uncle unless it was someone or their family he was deeply connected with.
Yuan Li however as Zhou Ye said this felt somewhat a sense of connection as he was born an orphan who quickly got higher and higher and his cold attitude allowed for him to be the main mission taker for the Zhenren Empire. Yuan Li then replied with a smile on his face"Well then... hello nephew" Zhou Shan and Zhou Li both laughed and Zhou Shan said "Doesn't that make us brothers?" Yuan Li then laughed as well before shortly saying goodbye and took both the two children however as he did the two children seemingly recognised Zhou Ye from before when he came flying down and asked Yuan Li "Uncle... can we please go next door?? I want to talk to our neighbours!"
Yuan Li then smiled and let them go and as he did he quickly disapppeared into thin air into a council room. Within the council room were several shocked faces all of which sweating intensely as well as discussing about how to respond to said situation. If Zhou Ye was there he would notice it was Zhenren councils meeting place.
The two children came to Zhou Ye and quickly introduced themselves with the girl starting first saying "hi! I'm Ye Yin! and i m 13 this year!" On Rosuf Yin's face could be seen a bright smile and then her brother came and said "Uhh.. I'm Rosuf Cheng and 11 or something near i think? nice to meet you!" As "Ye" Yin heard this she hit "Ye" Chen on the head and whispered "Don't you remember what uncle told us..." "Ye" Cheng then remembered what Yuan Li previously told him and told Zhou Ye "Uhh i mean i m Ye Cheng and i'm 11!"
