Chapter 368 Concubine
Looking at Li Mochen going away, Ye Chunyang also stepped into the mountain gate.
This desert trip was generally safe and sound, and he also obtained many treasures. What made him even more happy was that he obtained an amazing magical power of escape. If he could practice it successfully, no one in the same level would be able to match it.
As for the fact that this method requires a tough body, he is not worried at all. With his mysterious body refining technique, he can perfectly control this magical power.
Thinking of this, he set off to fly to Tianji Peak.
Now in Tianqimen, his name, Ye Xiaobao, is almost known to everyone. Along the way, people greeted him kindly, and the foundation-building disciples also respectfully called him uncle.
In response, Ye Chunyang gestured calmly and continued to fly to the top of the peak.
But for some reason, along the way, the disciples looked at him with a strange look in their eyes, and some even came forward to congratulate him. This surprised Ye Chunyang secretly, but he thought they were congratulating him for cultivating his magic power.
With a bitter smile, Ye Chunyang did not think much about it. After returning to Tianji Peak, he walked up the mountain and walked towards Tianji Hall.
After returning from an outing, he should go to pay a visit to Xuanjizi according to etiquette.
"Hey, Uncle Ye, are you back?"
At this moment, several disciples were walking towards him. They were in the early stage of foundation building. When they saw him, they immediately greeted him with a smile on their faces.
Ye Chunyang looked at the other party. These people were a little unfamiliar. He did not recognize them. He thought they were new disciples who had been in seclusion for these years.
It is worth mentioning that since he saved sixteen fellow disciples, Tianji Peak has become famous because of this. Many casual cultivators or family children from the outside world came here to admire his reputation. Now the number of people in Tianji Peak has gradually increased.
With his reputation, he could not recognize others, but the disciples were not unfamiliar with him.
After taking a look at these people, Ye Chunyang nodded slightly, but before he could speak, one of them bowed and smiled, "Congratulations, Master."
Another congratulation?
Ye Chunyang was more and more surprised. He had already cultivated magic power three years ago, and everyone had congratulated him at that time. It was strange to congratulate him again now.
Seeing him standing there in a daze without saying a word, the disciples were also surprised, but soon they smiled again, thinking that he was flattered and forgot himself.
He then continued to congratulate several times, saying: "Master uncle is really blessed, and we, the younger generation, admire him very much."
Ye Chunyang frowned even more and couldn't help asking: "Why am I so happy?"
When he said this, the disciples were extremely surprised and looked at him with incredible eyes, and then couldn't help laughing: "Master uncle is really joking. Master uncle is going to get married with Senior Sister Qianying. The whole world of Tianji Peak will celebrate together. Naturally, we are very happy."
"Get married?"
Ye Chunyang was greatly surprised, and then his face sank, and asked: "What's going on?"
He and Qianying are just fellow disciples, when did they get married? Could it be that these disciples are talking nonsense in private to ruin his reputation? If so, I'm afraid I have to teach them a lesson and let them remember it for a long time.
Seeing his angry face, the disciples were all stunned. Could it be that Master uncle really didn't know what was going on?
Everyone dared not smile anymore, and hurriedly said: "Master, don't you know that Senior Sister Qianying had asked Master to announce to the sect a few days ago that she was willing to be Master's concubine. When an auspicious day is chosen, she will marry into Master's cave and hold a double cultivation ceremony with you."
When Ye Chunyang heard this, his face suddenly froze.
Concubine?
Double cultivation ceremony?
How could he not know anything about it?
A gloomy look flashed across Ye Chunyang's face, and the veins on his forehead were faintly beating. He stared at several disciples with cold and angry eyes and said, "When did this happen?"
Seeing that he really didn't know anything, the disciples were even more shocked, but they still answered truthfully: "Just three days ago."
"Where is your master now?" Ye Chunyang asked again.
"In the back mountain."
The disciples did not dare to neglect him.
Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed, the anger on his face disappeared, his expression returned to calm, and finally he looked at several disciples and flew away without saying a word.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Who knows? Maybe he's too surprised?"
"That's right. Senior Sister Qianying is as beautiful as a flower. She is also talented and has good cultivation. In our Tianji Peak, only Master Ye is qualified to marry her."
"Master Ye is so lucky. We are so envious..."
Looking at the back of "Master Ye" leaving, the disciples were amazed. One was in awe of his magical power of flying in the clouds, and the other was envious of him for having a beauty like Qianying as a concubine. What regrets are there in cultivating immortals like this?
Ye Chunyang's spiritual awareness was sharp. Although he had flown away, the disciples' conversations still fell clearly into his ears.
He couldn't help but frown. He had never planned to take Qianying as a concubine. Suddenly, such news came out. He was afraid that something had happened during his absence. He still had to ask Xuanjizi in person.
Thinking of this, he accelerated his escape technique and soon arrived in the sea of clouds at the back mountain.
Xuanjizi has been watching the sunrise and sunset here all year round, but in the past, apart from Ye Chunyang, even Qianying could not be disturbed easily.
"You are back? I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
As soon as he approached, Ye Chunyang heard Xuanjizi's chuckle, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and fell towards the sea of clouds.
"Brother Xuanji, can you tell me what's going on?" Ye Chunyang asked with a smile, "I have only been away for a few days, but when I came back, I had an extra concubine for no reason. I am a little flattered."
After advancing to the Mana Stage, he was on the same level as Xuanjizi, so he naturally called him Senior Brother.
"Why, isn't it good to have an extra concubine?"
Xuanjizi turned around and said to him with a smile on his face, looking like he was gloating.
"Now I just want to practice Taoism with peace of mind, and I have no plans to take a concubine for the time being. Senior brother suddenly announced to the sect that I will marry Qianying. I'm afraid this is too hasty." Ye Chunyang touched his nose and said helplessly.
"No, no, this is not my own decision, but Qianying herself asked to be your concubine. I just announced it to the sect and conveyed this matter on your behalf." Xuanjizi laughed and said, "Besides, now you are the elder of my peak, what's wrong with taking a female disciple as a concubine?"
At this point, he couldn't help but smile again and said, "There has been no such happy event in my Tianji Peak for hundreds of years. This time it is just right to celebrate it. It is really a good thing."
Ye Chunyang was stunned.
In fact, Xuanjizi promoted him to the position of elder of Tianji Peak three years ago, but Ye Chunyang didn't care about the reputation, so he didn't make a high profile. He just never thought about taking a concubine.
With a bitter smile, Ye Chunyang said: "Brother, you also know that Qianying and I are just fellow disciples. I have no improper thoughts about her, but I don't know why she suddenly wants to be my concubine?"
Xuanjizi coughed twice in embarrassment and said: "This matter can't be explained for a while. If you want to know the reason, it's better to ask Qianying yourself. Besides, you young people should solve your own problems. I won't get involved."
After saying that, Xuanjizi smiled "with ill intentions" and waved his hand to drive people away.
Seeing this, Ye Chunyang had no choice but to say goodbye.
On the way back to the cave, he frowned and looked thoughtful.
Qianying suddenly became his concubine, which surprised him deeply, but he obviously didn't mean it in this regard, and he didn't know if there were other hidden secrets.
Just as he was thinking, he saw a figure waiting outside the cave. Seeing the other person's face clearly, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Who else could it be if not Qianying, who looked so charming? I think she has heard the news of his return from the disciples, so she came here to wait.
This is good, just take this opportunity to ask her clearly.
After thinking about it, he put away the escape light and slowly fell into the cave.
At this time, Qianying, who was waiting outside the door, heard the movement and turned around in a hurry. After seeing Ye Chunyang, she was happy at first, then dodged a little, and finally lowered her head slightly, with her fingers tangled and at a loss.
Seeing this, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but sigh, opened the cave, and whispered: "Come in."
Qianying raised her head and looked at him, her expression was a little hesitant, but finally pursed her lips and followed him.
Sitting in the garden, the two looked at each other in silence. Qianying's eyes were dodging, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start. After a brief contact with him, she quickly moved away and lowered her head shyly without saying anything.
Ye Chunyang was stunned. Although he had practiced Taoism for many years, he was like a blank sheet of paper when it came to relationships between men and women. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed at this moment.
But after all, he had experienced countless things. After a moment of silence, he regained his composure and said, "I heard from Senior Brother Xuanji that you want to marry me as a concubine. What's going on?"
"I..." Qianying opened her mouth, raised her head and looked at him. For some reason, she had a lot to say, but she couldn't say anything for a while.
After a moment of stunnedness, she lowered her head again, and her pretty face flushed.
Ye Chunyang's heart moved. Qianying has always been straightforward and willing to take responsibility for her fellow disciples, but he has never seen her behave like a little girl. Such a shy and moving appearance made him feel a little strange.
After a long silence, Qianying seemed to have mustered up the courage, looked up at Ye Chunyang again, and said: "Brother... No, Uncle, Qianying took the initiative and offended Uncle, I hope Uncle will not blame you."
Ye Chunyang was indifferent and said nothing.
Qianying looked at him carefully, and then gritted her teeth and said: "Qianying knows that this matter is too hasty, but there is no other way except this."
Ye Chunyang frowned slightly, and it seemed that there was something else behind this.
But he did not speak, but waited for Qianying to continue.
Qianying's face was even more red, like a blooming flower, with a different kind of beauty.
She twisted her fingers together, and after a long pause, she continued, "To be honest with you, Uncle Master, Qianying was born in a family of immortals. Although she has been away from home for many years, she still has some ties with them. But I never expected that the clan leader would secretly arrange a marriage for me and ask me to marry a young master from a noble family. Our two families have always had a tense relationship, so they wanted to use my marriage to ease the situation. Just a few days ago, the young master from the noble family found out that I was practicing at Tianqimen and came to find me."
"So you used me as an excuse to push back on this marriage?" Ye Chunyang's face turned cold when he heard this.
