“I have given this matter much thought these past few days.”

"It was indeed my fault that I unilaterally severed my master-disciple relationship with Wan'er back then."

"I feel guilty towards Wan'er for this matter. To make amends to Wan'er, I have decided to marry her and become her cultivation partner. I hope the sect leader can rest assured and marry Wan'er to me."

Qin's father: "???"

Qin Wan: "???"

Murong Yan's eyes darkened as he stared intently at the self-righteous Feng Yi before him.

Despite being stared at with "strange" looks by several people, Feng Yi calmly introduced the contents of the Qiankun Ring to Qin's father.

"The sect leader has been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for quite some time. I have prepared a Nascent Soul Breaking Pill in my Qiankun Ring, which can help the sect leader break through the Nascent Soul stage and advance to the Divine Transformation stage as soon as possible."

"In addition, I remember that the sect has always lacked alchemists and has accumulated pills such as Great Rejuvenation Pill, Lesser Rejuvenation Pill, and Spirit Gathering Pill. I have refined more than a thousand of them over the years, and they are all in this Qiankun Ring."

"I recently broke through to the seventh-grade alchemist. In the future, as a member of the Tianyuan Sect, I will do my best whenever the sect needs me."

Qin's father: "!!!"

In the cultivation world to date, only the Supreme Ancestor of the Dan Sect is an eighth-grade alchemist, yet this ancestor has lived for nearly a thousand years.

Even in the renowned Dan Sect, there are only two seventh-grade alchemists!

Heaven is truly biased when it comes to the chosen one of destiny!

He was only a hundred years old and had reached the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation.

He is still a seventh-grade alchemist.

Each training session allows you to effortlessly acquire various rare and precious materials, as well as mythical beasts and beloved pets.

Feng Yikai's offer was extremely tempting, but... his daughter was still more important to him.

Over the years, he has owed Qin Wan and her daughter a great deal for the sake of Tianyuan Sect.

For the sake of Tianyuan Sect, Qin Wan lost his mother at a young age, and he was also an incompetent father.

Now, he is even less likely to sell his daughter for a pittance promised by Feng Yi!

"Not for sale!"

Qin's father blurted out.

Qin Wan: "?"

Is that what she meant?

Feng Yi was also taken aback, looking at the sect leader with suspicion, as if he did not understand his meaning.

Murong Yan's lips twitched almost imperceptibly as he glanced at Qin Wan beside him with pity.

"Qin Wan has grown up. She can decide her own marriage. As her father, I won't interfere."

Realizing his slip of the tongue, Qin's father quickly glanced at Qin Wan and, seeing that her complexion was relatively normal, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that you're not angry.

"Since ancient times, marriages have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers. The sect leader is Wan'er's only relative and her biological father. He should think about Wan'er's future."

“Wan’er is young, and it’s easy for her to be misled and deceived by people with ulterior motives…”

As he said this, Feng Yi looked directly at Murong Yan without any attempt to hide it, almost as if he were calling him by name.

"I will not marry you."

Before Qin's father could speak again, Qin Wan took the initiative to continue the conversation.

Feng Yi looked over with displeasure.

"True Lord Fengyi need not waste his time on me."

"My heart already belongs to him, and I will never marry anyone else in this life!"

Upon hearing Qin Wan's words, both Murong Yan and Feng Yi's expressions changed simultaneously.

My heart belongs to someone else...

He will never marry anyone else in his life...

Is the person she's talking about... the one he imagines?

Murong Yan's intense gaze was fixed on Qin Wan.

Feng Yi's expression turned slightly unpleasant, but he was still unwilling to give up.

"Wan'er, the person you've always loved has always been me, hasn't it?"

Qin Wan looked directly at Feng Yi and explained with a hint of apology, "True Lord has always been my master, and that has never changed."

“I was young before, and perhaps I did something wrong that caused you to misunderstand me. I apologize to you.”

"I also hope that the True Lord will not take these trivial matters to heart and should focus on his cultivation."

Qin Wan's ruthlessness was something Feng Yi had not anticipated.

He originally thought that even though he had hurt her feelings, he had humbled himself and apologized to her, so she should forgive him.

Unexpectedly, she actually fell in love with someone else?

Thinking of this, Feng Yi's sinister gaze fell on Murong Yan.

"You've only known him for a few months. Do you know anything about his character? How can you be sure he's a man you can entrust your life to?"

"You probably don't even know his true identity!"

"A mere twenty-five-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator, do you truly know his identity and background?"

"Qin Wan, don't be fooled without realizing it!"

Feng Yi was displeased, so he stopped holding back and immediately broke the ice between Qin Wan and Murong Yan.

As soon as Feng Yi finished speaking, both men focused their gazes on Qin Wan, eagerly awaiting her response.

Faced with Feng Yi's aggressive questioning, Qin Wan chuckled lightly, "As long as it's him, even if I'm deceived, I'm willing to accept it."

[Murong Yan's favorability increased by 5, current favorability is 87.]

Qin Wan's words were practically a confession on the spot.

All eyes turned to Murong Yan in unison.

After being rejected by Qin Wan time and time again, Feng Yi, who always considered himself the pride of the emperor and had a very strong sense of self-esteem, could no longer tolerate it.

Since Qin Wan is refusing to listen to reason and is now forced to drink the penalty cup, he doesn't need to be polite with her anymore.

As long as he gets her and keeps her by his side, the means he uses are completely unimportant!

Thinking of this, Feng Yi said no more and left in a huff.

After Feng Yi left, Qin's father looked at Murong Yan with envy, jealousy, and hatred, and finally left with a resentful expression.

The two elders also left quietly, no longer disturbing the young couple's private time.

For a moment, only Qin Wan and Murong Yan remained in the vast Hall of Law Enforcement.

"Junior sister, were you telling the truth just now?"

Seeing Qin Wan about to run away, Murong Yan quickly grabbed her hand and stopped her.

"Senior brother, the situation was special just now, and I had no choice..." As she spoke, Qin Wan didn't dare to look at him.

Murong Yan grasped her shoulders with both hands and turned her around so that she would face him directly.

"Junior Sister, were you telling the truth just now?" Murong Yan asked again.

"..." Qin Wan pursed her red lips slightly, her eyes filled with unease as she looked up at him.

"Senior brother, I..."

As she spoke, Qin Wan subconsciously lowered her head and looked away from Murong Yan's gaze.

Upon noticing her avoidance, Murong Yan gently lifted her chin with his slender fingertips, forcing her to look directly into his eyes, not allowing her to escape.

Their eyes met...

"Junior sister only needs to answer yes or no."

Qin Wan bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes darting away, unable to meet Murong Yan's gaze.

"Senior brother..."

"Um?"

"Um?"

Murong Yan's tone rose, and the ending was alluring.

He silently leaned closer to her, his warm breath brushing against her face, startling Qin Wan so much that she instinctively looked up...

Their eyes met...

Looking at Murong Yan's face so close to hers, Qin Wan subconsciously held her breath.

"Master, senior brother..."

“A month ago, in the council hall, my junior sister said that she had misunderstood her feelings for True Lord Feng Yi.”

"It wasn't until later that she realized her feelings for True Lord Fengyi were not romantic..."

"Senior brother wants to know, junior sister, how did you come to your senses?"

"Or rather... who made my junior sister realize the truth?"

Murong Yan's intense gaze was fixed on her, unblinking, as if he were afraid of missing even the slightest change in her emotions.
