Chapter 369 Protective Umbrella
Ye Chun showed anger.
Qianying's actions obviously used him as a shield, and there would be troubles in the future. Although he was not afraid of trouble, he did not want to cause trouble for no reason.
Seeing the displeasure on his face, Qianying trembled, shy and frightened.
But after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and said firmly: "Qianying knows that this matter will cause trouble to the master uncle, but the master uncle has saved Qianying's life. Qianying dare not have any unreasonable thoughts. This time I came to ask for forgiveness from the master uncle."
She pursed her lips tightly, feeling uneasy.
The rescue on the Zhuxiantai and the turning of the tide at Jingqiong Mountain, all these things in the past have already unconsciously imprinted the figure of Ye Chunyang in Qianying's heart.
Although he is not handsome and has a somewhat eccentric personality, there are many young talents in the world of cultivation who are more outstanding than him in terms of appearance alone, but his figure is like a green bud, quietly growing in Qianying's heart. The more you want to erase it, the deeper it will be.
Although she knew that the other party might not accept her, Qianying secretly hoped that the concubine's words would come true.
But the other party remained silent, and her silence made her feel more and more uneasy.
Until she was so depressed that she was about to be unable to breathe, she heard Ye Chunyang's faint voice: "How strong is the family that proposed to you?"
Qianying was a little confused when she heard this, and didn't know why he asked this question, but after hesitating for a moment, she still said: "It is a third-rate family, which is stronger than my family."
Qianying's family background is not high, and her family can only be ranked at the bottom among the third-rate strength. Ye Chunyang has occasionally heard about her background.
There are many masters of mid-to-late stage magic power in the third-rate family. Qianying refused the other party and made it clear that she wanted to marry him as a concubine. The other party must be jealous of him because of this.
Ye Chunyang was deeply depressed about this.
With his current strength, he is not afraid of some third-rate forces, but he is devoted to seeking the Tao and does not want to be burdened by worldly affairs. He is somewhat dissatisfied with Qianying's move.
"Do you really want to be my concubine?" He glanced at Qianying and said expressionlessly.
Qianying was stunned.
"I..." She opened her cherry lips slightly, looking uneasy.
In fact, before making this decision, she had asked herself countless times, and had already made up her mind. However, when Ye Chunyang really asked her, she didn't know how to answer.
Ye Chunyang didn't wait for Qianying to speak, and said lightly: "I have cultivated my magic power for only more than three years, and the outside world has spread the rumor that I took away someone's marriage. They must think that I am arrogant and unreasonable. At this moment, in their eyes, I, Ye, am afraid that I have become a domineering and despicable villain. I don't know how much trouble I will cause in the future."
Qianying moved her lips and wanted to say something, but in the end she could only bow her head and remain silent.
She naturally knew how much trouble this move would bring to the other party, but she was absolutely unwilling to let her be a tool of the family and marry someone she didn't like.
However, the family seeking marriage was too powerful for her to provoke, and the sect would not interfere in the marriage of disciples, especially family grievances like hers, and would not interfere. In a hurry, she had to resort to this last resort.
Her hands were tangled together involuntarily, her pretty face turned pale, and her tightly bitten lips seemed to bleed. She said in an inaudible voice: "Qianying's other last resort is only a temporary measure. I dare not force my uncle. If my uncle does not want to accept Qianying, he only needs to give Qianying a divorce letter."
Looking at Ye Chunyang, her eyes were slightly red, and her expression was a little resentful.
When she decided to kill first and report later, Qianying had already gambled on her reputation. If she was rejected by Ye Chunyang today, her reputation would be ruined.
At this time, Ye Chunyang frowned slightly, his face indifferent: "Since you told the other party to be my concubine under the marriage, if I divorce you now, won't they think that I, Ye, am weak and incompetent?"
Now he is no longer the weak foundation-building cultivator in the past. In the past, his strength was still small and he could only endure when encountering things. Now he is a mana cultivator with hundreds of years of life. He must not give in on certain issues of principle.
If he gives in on this matter, others will think that he is afraid of the family that wants to marry him. Then everyone will think that he is weak and can be bullied. How can he gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation in the future?
"Then how does the master want to deal with Qianying?"
Qianying bit her cherry lips lightly. In fact, she had already expected the result today. Before coming here, she was ready to let the other party deal with her.
Seeing that this always strong woman had such a resentful time, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but speechless, but this matter had touched his bottom line and could not tolerate it.
Now everyone in Tianqimen knows that he will take Qianying as a concubine. No matter who regrets it, it will not benefit the other party.
Especially since he had just cultivated his magic power not long ago, he needed to establish his prestige. How could he let outsiders think that he could be bullied?
With a snort, Ye Chunyang said indifferently: "Because of your self-willed decision, I am very passive, but now that you have asked Brother Xuanji to inform the fellow disciples, you can move into my house from now on."
Qianying was stunned when she heard this.
She raised her head and blinked her eyes. Her black and white eyes were very beautiful, but at this time they were full of surprise.
After being surprised, Qianying couldn't help but take a breath and asked in disbelief: "Master uncle means... to take Qianying into the house?"
"Isn't this what you want to see? If you don't enter my house, how can the outside world believe that you really became my concubine?"
Ye Chunyang said expressionlessly, "Since you want to use me to stop those who come to propose marriage, it is impossible not to pay some price."
"But I..."
Qian Ying opened her cherry lips slightly. She was prepared to pay the price for making this decision. However, when she was about to say something, Ye Chunyang interrupted her with a wave of his hand, saying, "Don't be impatient. I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Yes, Qian Ying will follow the words of her uncle." Qian Ying said hurriedly.
Ye Chunyang glanced at her and continued, "Letting you enter my house is just a false appearance. You are called my concubine, but in fact, you and I are still from the same sect. After this matter is settled, you can leave on your own. I will never stop you."
"Just a false appearance on the surface..."
Qian Ying's eyes flashed with sadness, and it was unclear whether she was happy or disappointed.
"Yes, this is the only solution at the moment."
Ye Chunyang said with a cold face.
"I, Ye, have always been alone and don't want to be a burden for nothing. This time I agree to be your umbrella for the friendship of fellow disciples. If you dare to do it again in the future, I will never let you go!"
This time he was really angry. For Qian Ying, he always regarded her as a fellow disciple and had no other feelings between men and women. But now the situation forced him to do so, so he could not refuse, and could only use this as a temporary expedient.
Qianying nodded silently, her fingers tangled and she said nothing.
This result was undoubtedly the best for her, but she seemed a little disappointed in a trance.
Just now, for a moment, she really thought that she could be with him, but in fact it was just wishful thinking...
Ye Chunyang sighed secretly, how could he not know Qianying's thoughts, but there were still many things waiting for him to do, and one day he would return to Dongzhou to take back the main body, and before that he didn't want to and couldn't have any worries.
"Okay, I have other things to deal with now, you go down, and I will welcome you into the mansion when an auspicious day is selected."
Ye Chunyang waved his hand, not wanting to dwell on this matter.
"Yes, Qianying will leave."
After saying this, Qianying looked at him with a slightly complicated expression, and finally got up and left.
Looking at her back as she walked away with lotus steps, Ye Chunyang smiled bitterly. Although he was not afraid of third-rate forces, it was inevitable that he would have a nominal concubine by his side in the future. But now that things were settled, he could only let things take their course.
Sighing, he stopped thinking about it, took out the jade slip from the desert, and began to practice the "Close to the World" escape technique.
Although this technique was only a primary technique, the speed of its use was amazing. Soon, all the masters from all sides would enter the Lingtian Realm, so he naturally had to improve his strength as much as possible. Otherwise, whether he could successfully obtain the Tianhuo Wood or whether he could save his life was a matter of two words.
…
Time passed day by day. When the news came out that "Master Ye" would marry Qianying into the mansion, the entire Tianji Peak was in a festive atmosphere for several days. The disciples hung up lanterns and laughed continuously. The long-silent Tianji Peak rarely appeared in a grand scene.
After several calculations by Xuanjizi, he finally decided on an auspicious date for the two of them, which was one month later.
Although there was still some time between them, the enthusiasm on Tianji Peak remained high, and this atmosphere reached its peak when eight cranes flew up in the sky one day, carrying Qianying to a cave in the peak.
Ye Chunyang welcomed Qianying into the cave as he said. This scene was not only congratulated by his fellow disciples, but also by disciples from other peaks who came to congratulate him.
This grand occasion soon spread throughout Tianqimen, and even some sects and forces in the northern veins heard about it.
The family that proposed to Qianying also received the news. They originally wanted to go to the door to question it, but when they heard that Qianying was actually welcomed into the cave by an elder in the magic power period, they were speechless and did not dare to act rashly.
However, after the wedding, "Uncle Ye", the person involved, was very low-key. Except for occasionally going out to debate with Xuanjizi or several fellows from other peaks, he rarely went out.
Day after day, more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Since the wedding that day, Tianji Peak has returned to peace again, and there have been no other changes. However, there have been several strange phenomena on some of the main peaks of the sect, and each appearance will cause an uproar. Although Ye Chunyang lives in the cave, he naturally feels this. It is obvious that there are foundation-building cultivators in the sect who have cultivated magic power. As for those who have advanced, he can vaguely guess from the breath and direction.
But he doesn't pay attention to this. Now he just rests in the cave, concentrates on practicing, and tries to replenish elixirs and cultivate several ancient treasures, waiting for the trip to the Lingtian Realm in the near future.
However, now the whole weather knows that there is a beauty around him, and it is worth mentioning that after entering his cave, Qianying leads the disciples to practice as usual, but now she seems to have a few more unique auras than half a year ago, and her cultivation has obviously improved.
