After spending some tender moments with Nalan Yanran, Ye Chen left for the main peak of Yunlan Sect.
Since he had just returned from his journey outside, it was only right to report his safety to his teacher.
The moment Yun Yun, the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, heard that Ye Chen had returned, she immediately came out of her closed-door cultivation.
She floated into the great hall dressed in a pure white dress. Her long black hair fell like a waterfall down to her slim waist, and her flawless face looked like that of a fairy untouched by worldly dust.
"Ye Chen," Yun Yun asked softly, "how did the withdrawal of the marriage go?"
Ye Chen's eyes lit up as he looked at his stunning teacher. He quickly replied:
"Teacher, everything went smoothly. The Xiao family has agreed to cancel the marriage, and the marriage contract is already in my hands."
Yun Yun's calm expression finally eased into a smile. The engagement between Nalan Yanran and the Xiao family had been a burden on her heart. Now that it was settled peacefully, she could finally breathe easier.
"You didn't cause too much trouble for the Xiao family, right?" she asked with a bit of curiosity.
Ye Chen gave a playful smile. "Of course not. Do I look like the kind of person who bullies others with power?"
He explained to Yun Yun how he had invited Xiao Yan and his father to talk in private, how the matter was resolved, and how he had exchanged a simple pill for their agreement.
Of course, Ye Chen didn't tell her the whole truth. The pill he had given Xiao Yan was not just some ordinary medicine. Instead, he downplayed it and said it was only a Qi Gathering Powder.
"So it was that simple?" Yun Yun said in surprise. "Just a small bottle of Qi Gathering Powder was enough?"
She shook her head, sighing softly. It seemed she had overestimated the Xiao family.
Such a small benefit and they had given up the engagement willingly, and Yunlan Sect's reputation had not been harmed at all.
To her, this was the best outcome.
"You've done very well this time," Yun Yun praised. Her beautiful eyes looked at Ye Chen with satisfaction.
In her heart, she had already been raising Ye Chen as the next Sect Master of Yunlan Sect. The way he handled this matter so flawlessly only confirmed her choice.
Yun Yun slowly stepped closer to him. She reached out with her soft jade-like hand and pinched his cheek gently.
"You've grown thinner after this trip. It must have been very hard on you. Tell me, what reward do you want this time? As your teacher, I will do my best to satisfy you."
Her fragrance surrounded him, and her flawless face was so close that Ye Chen's throat involuntarily rolled.
He thought to himself: Teacher, could you give me a child instead?
Of course, he didn't dare say that out loud.
Even though Yun Yun was gentle with him, if she knew his true thoughts, she might very well slap him to death on the spot.
After a pause, Ye Chen steadied himself and said, "Teacher, could you… help me go to the Nalan family to propose marriage?"
Yun Yun blinked in surprise.
Nalan Yanran was already pregnant. If they didn't get married soon, her growing belly would draw gossip and ridicule. Ye Chen didn't want the woman he loved to suffer such shame.
But the matter wasn't simple. When they had gone to the Xiao family to cancel the engagement, Nalan Yanran had hidden it from her grandfather, the head of the Nalan family. Once he found out, he would surely be furious.
If Ye Chen went to propose by himself, he might be thrown out.
But if Yun Yun, the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect and a mighty Dou Huang, personally went to propose on his behalf, the Nalan family would have no choice but to give her face.
Yun Yun thought for a moment, then nodded gently. "Since the engagement with the Xiao family is broken, it's time for you two to get married. Fine, I'll personally go to the Nalan family in a few days to propose for you."
Ye Chen's face lit up with joy. "Thank you, Teacher!"
Yun Yun smiled warmly. "You are my proud disciple. I will not only propose the marriage for you, but I will also personally host a grand wedding ceremony."
But then her tone shifted. "However, before that, the most important thing is the Inner Sect Grand Competition next week. Win first place there, and then I'll have time to plan your wedding."
Her eyes shone as she asked, "Ye Chen, do you have the confidence to win first place? You didn't slack off during your time in Wu Tan City, did you?"
Ye Chen smiled confidently. "Of course not. I followed Teacher's teachings and cultivated diligently every day."
In his mind, he thought about how he had spent countless nights dual cultivating the Dragon-Phoenix Art with Ya Fei and Xiao Xun'er. That was also cultivation, right?
Yun Yun's lips curved. "Oh? Then tell me, what realm have you reached now?"
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, then decided to speak the truth. "Teacher, I've already broken through to Nine-Star Fighter."
Yun Yun's eyes widened in shock. She quickly placed her hand on his shoulder and sent her own powerful Dou Qi into him to check.
