"I know that all the elders are very interested in this treasure. I am willing to use part of it in exchange for Duan Yu's freedom."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.

No one expected Ye Ling to be so generous that she would be willing to use the treasure in exchange for Duan Yu's freedom.

A hint of surprise also flashed across Ashe's face. She originally thought that Ye Ling would fight against them desperately, but she didn't expect her to make such a choice.

"You...are you serious?" There was a tremor in Ash's voice. She couldn't believe her ears.

"Of course it's true." Ye Ling said calmly, her eyes firm, "I only want Duan Yu."

Ai Xi was silent for a moment. Ye Ling's behavior made her re-examine this seemingly weak woman. She didn't expect that Ye Ling loved Duan Yu so deeply that she was even willing to give up the treasure for him.

Other members of the family also started talking about it, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at Ye Ling.

Ai Xi finally nodded and agreed to Ye Ling's proposal. Duan Yu regained his freedom. He walked quickly to Ye Ling and held her hand tightly.

"Thank you, Ye Ling." Duan Yu's voice was low and choked with sobs.

"Silly boy, why are you saying thank you?" Ye Ling smiled and shook her head, then held Duan Yu's hand with their fingers interlocked.

Although the crisis was temporarily resolved, Ye Ling knew in his heart that this was only a temporary measure and the real challenge had just begun.

The gap between mecha and cultivation cannot be eliminated overnight, and she still has a long way to go.

Ye Ling stood at the trial site, looking at the area ahead that was full of unknown challenges, and said to Duan Yu: "Let's walk the rest of the way together."
