“…” Yun Che raised his head abruptly, looking confused: “Master, this matter…”
“No need to say more!” Mu Xuanyin interrupted him coldly, “I am not asking for your opinion on this matter. You have to agree to it whether you agree or not!”
Yun Che: “…”
"As a man, you must never make promises lightly. A marriage contract is a matter of life and a woman's reputation, so it should not be taken lightly! Since you have made a promise and everyone knows it, you must not break your promise. Moreover..."
"In terms of family background, she is the little princess of Liuguang Realm. As long as she is willing, she will become the king of Liuguang Realm in the future. In terms of talent, she has the only pure divine soul in the world. She is already a seventh-level divine master at the age of three thousand. People in the world say that she will be able to reach the level of divine emperor with her own strength in the future. In terms of appearance, I am afraid that she is the only one in the Eastern Divine Region except Qianye."
“You just returned to the God Realm, so naturally you don’t know what the words ‘Meiyin Goddess’ mean in the Eastern Divine Region now. Her fame has long surpassed her father and all the upper realm kings… Before her, the only person in the Eastern Divine Region who could truly be called a ‘Goddess’ was Qianye Ying’er.”
“…” Yun Che opened his mouth slightly. The woman who had been crazy about him back then, now seeing her again, still smiling and laughing like a young girl, had actually become so dazzling.
"In any aspect, she is more than enough for a hundred of you. What's more valuable is that she has deep feelings for you, which are absolutely genuine, and her father has no objection. For you now..." Mu Xuanyin's eyes flashed with complexity: "At least, there is no harm in it."
This was the second day after Yun Che returned to the God Realm. Before he even started doing what he was going to do, a marriage contract that he had made in a hurry was thrown on his head, which really caught him off guard. The most important thing was that the one who suddenly forced this marriage contract was not someone else, but Mu Xuanyin.
"But, this matter..."
“No buts!” Mu Xuanyin clearly did not give him any chance to refuse. Her voice was extremely cold and majestic. “Listen, the fact that you are still alive has been exposed. It will soon be known to everyone. Think about how you were infected with the Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Seal and how you were forced into the Dragon God Realm?”
Yun Che: “…” (She actually knew about the Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Seal. Did Qingyue tell her?)
"Among your peers, you are indeed unrivaled. However, do not forget how terrifying the people who are targeting you are. Take Luo Guxie today for example. If there were no one by his side, you would have been dead long ago! And her disciple is Luo Changsheng, whose strength is far superior to yours, and you are not even qualified to look up to him... Not to mention the extremely terrifying Brahma Emperor Goddess in terms of strength, scheming, and methods!"
“You should have understood better than anyone the principle of possessing a treasure over the years.” Mu Xuanyin spoke each word with a heavy tone, each word carrying a deep warning: “Since you have no power to protect yourself, you must do your best to find a good backer for yourself!”
“Now, the Moon God Emperor is your backer, but it’s only her, not the Moon God Realm! If you show favor to the Eternal Heaven God Emperor, he will definitely protect you, but he will only protect you. This ‘favor’ is not deep enough for him to hurt the Eternal Heaven God Realm in order to protect you. However, if you marry the little princess of the Glazed Light Realm, then the entire Glazed Light Realm, which is now ranked first among the upper star realms, will be your backer… So, do you understand?”
"..." Yun Che stood there, not knowing how to answer.
"It is true that they intend to use Princess Liuguang. However, she knows this and will do it willingly." Thinking of Shui Meiyin's black gemstone-like eyes, Mu Xuanyin felt a little complicated for a moment: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Yun Che nodded woodenly: "...Understood."
“As for your feelings, you can cultivate them slowly with her.” Mu Xuanyin’s eyes slightly tilted, and suddenly he snorted coldly: “Hmph, a man like you who is lustful and cannot be satisfied without women, considering the appearance and demeanor of Little Princess Liuguang, I believe you have no feelings for her, but I absolutely do not believe that you have no thoughts about her!”
【m】
“…” Yun Che lowered his head… Why was the tone and meaning of his words so similar to Jasmine’s back then?
"Regarding the engagement, I will discuss it with King Liu Guang at the Zhou Tian Conference in the 19th day. You don't need to worry about it. Just be obedient."
Yun Che pressed the tip of his nose and whispered, “Master, didn’t you say before that I’m no longer your disciple?”
“…” Mu Xuanyin slowly turned around, her beautiful icy eyes narrowed into a narrow slit: “Even if I’m not your master, you must obey me! There is no connection between the two!”
Yun Che was speechless.
“Huo Poyun has been waiting for you over there. He must have something to say to you.” Mu Xuanyin turned around and disappeared from Yun Che’s sight. Only her voice remained: “After ‘solving’ this, come to the Holy Temple to find me!”
Yun Che had already noticed Huo Poyun's presence. Everyone else had left, but he was still waiting there.
Yun Che walked over, and Huo Poyun also turned around at this time. The two looked at each other, and Yun Che said, "Brother Poyun, how are you injured?"
Huo Poyun smiled and shook his head, saying nonchalantly: "It's all right now, don't worry about it. Brother Yun, I really can't believe that you are still alive."
“In fact, I also couldn’t believe that I could survive back then.” Yun Che said with a smile. He came to Huo Poyun’s side and said sincerely: “Brother Poyun, congratulations on becoming a Divine Lord. The Flame God Realm will honor you with eternal glory.”
Huo Poyun showed no signs of smugness or arrogance, and smiled calmly, "I finally didn't disappoint Master and the others. I also didn't expect that in three thousand years, I would be able to reach my current level. To be honest, this is not only due to the gift of the Golden Crow Spirit and the extremely high spiritual energy of the Eternal Heaven Realm, but also thanks to you."
"I?"
"Yes." Huo Poyun nodded seriously: "Back then, before I entered the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, if you hadn't helped me to resolve my heart knots and inner demons time and time again, I would have encountered great obstacles in my cultivation path when I entered the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm with my heart knots and inner demons. Master also told me that Brother Yun is my great benefactor and also the great benefactor of the Flame God Realm. No matter how I repay you, it will not be too much."
“Hehe…” Yun Che smiled and shook his head: “No need. At that time, you were my only friend in the God Realm. Whether I ruthlessly defeated Jun Xilei to vent your hatred or to help you resolve your inner demons, it was all my duty. There was no need to ever mention the word ‘repay’.”
"..." Huo Poyun turned his eyes and said, "That... time?"
Yun Che did not follow him in turning his gaze away, still looking into the distance, his eyes calm and deep: “Besides, a person’s state of mind and mentality will gradually change with the passage of time. Even if I was not there back then, you would have resolved your inner knots and demons by yourself in the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm. By the way, I guess… during the three thousand years in the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, you and Luo Changsheng and the others should have gotten along well.”
"..." Huo Poyun's lips opened and closed, his eyes moving violently.
“If you can achieve Divine Lord, then the Flame God Realm, which already has strong overall strength and has three top Divine Lords, will undoubtedly enter the upper star realm.” Yun Che smiled and said, “And you will also become the supreme ruler of the Flame God Realm. At the level of the upper star realm, it is undoubtedly the most correct and wisest choice to gain a firm foothold and consolidate your position and be close to those who can also stand at the top of a realm after leaving the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm... Especially people like Luo Changsheng.”
“To the you who was only devoted to the profound way back then, and would be heartbroken if you lost a profound strength competition, now you have truly been reborn… and you are far more than just a profound way cultivator. As you are now, you may be qualified to take over the future of the Flame God Realm and become the King of the Flame God Realm.”
Every word Yun Che said was an expression of approval and praise. However, Huo Poyun's eyes trembled as he listened to his words. Later, he even shuddered slightly... and he was unable to speak for a long time.
Yun Che seemed to be completely unaware of his extremely abnormal reaction. He turned around and said calmly, “Master just summoned me for something. I’ll excuse myself first. Please give my regards to Sect Master Huo. If I have time in the future, I will definitely visit you in the Flame God Realm.”
After saying this, he did not stop and walked away directly.
"etc!"
Behind him, Huo Poyun's voice came... just two words, but they were roared out, accompanied by Huo Poyun's unusually heavy breathing.
Yun Che stopped walking.
“It was me… It was me who transmitted the message to Luo Changsheng that you were still alive! It was me!!” He yelled at Yun Che’s back, his voice trembling with every word.
“I know.” Yun Che was not moved at all, and responded calmly: “In Huanyan City, you eavesdropped on the conversation between Mu Feixue and me.”
Luo Guxie came too quickly and too suddenly. The only possibility was that... he had been exposed before returning to the sect.
Before that, the only one who knew his identity was Mu Feixue.
When he admitted his identity in front of Mu Feixue, he not only tried his best to lower his voice, but also scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense to confirm that there was absolutely no one else around.
However, the only possible accident is Huo Poyun.
As a Divine Master, it was extremely easy for him to escape Yun Che’s spiritual perception.
He didn't want to believe it...but that was the only possibility.
"Then why don't you speak out!" Huo Poyun's voice became hoarse: "Are you pitying... or are you simply disdainful?"
“Then what should I do? Roar and yell like you, and become hysterical?” Yun Che’s expression and tone were still extremely calm, as if he was telling someone else’s story.
"..." Huo Poyun took a step forward, clenched his hands, and his face twitched in pain: "Luo Guxie is the one who wants to kill you the most! The whole Eastern Divine Region knows it! I told Luo Changsheng just to let Luo Guxie kill you... kill you! Do you understand! Do you understand!! You... you just let me go like this? Your master is so powerful, she can even defeat Luo Guxie, and even dare to kill Luo Guxie. With just one word from you, she can easily cripple me and kill you. You... why... why..."
His voice became more and more hoarse, and by the end, his teeth were clenched so tightly that they were about to break, and there were two tear marks on his face.
Slowly, he knelt down in the snow, his body trembling violently, and he murmured in confusion: "Back then... I became a Divine Lord... and left the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm. The first person I wanted to tell was not Master... but you... But I got the news that you were dead... I have never been as sad as I was at that moment..."
"But... why are you still alive... why did you come back... why..."
“…” Yun Che took a long breath and whispered, “The reason why I didn’t say it in public is because I know that when people are extremely confused, they will do things that are beyond their reason and they won’t believe in the future… You came to the Snow Song Realm because you regretted it. When Luo Guxie suddenly attacked me, you protected me with your life. It was a combination of guilt and sincerity.”
“And the most important reason…” Yun Che closed his eyes: “You were my only friend in the God Realm.”
Huo Poyun lowered his head and let out a cold laugh: "Friend... friend... hehe... did you really... regard me as a friend?"
“…” Yun Che frowned.
"Back then, in the Eternal Heaven Realm, I was attracted to Mu Feixue. Do you still remember... the words you used to comfort me?"
Yun Che: “……?”
"But..." Huo Poyun raised his head, breathing more and more heavily: "But... I heard with my own ears... two Ice Phoenix disciples talking about how your master had given her to you as a dual cultivation partner a long time ago!! I heard it with my own ears... I heard it with my own ears! But you didn't say a word to me! You only gave me false consolation, you were basically... you were laughing at me!"
Yun Che turned around, frowning deeply, “Listen, after completing the apprenticeship ceremony, Master did designate Fei Xue as my dual cultivation partner, and announced it in public. But…after that, I refused, and Master agreed.”
"..." Huo Poyun's whole body trembled, his eyes widened.
"Because of that incident, Master announced it in public. If I had announced the fact that she was rejected by me, it would undoubtedly make Feixue a laughing stock, so I didn't make it public. Feixue and I have never been a dual cultivation partner. The time I spent with her in the Snow Song Realm over the years combined is not as much as the time I spent speaking those few words to Huanyancheng!"
"If you don't believe it, you can ask my master for confirmation now!"
"..." As if struck by a thunderbolt, Huo Poyun stood there silently, as if he had lost his soul.
“Forget it.” Yun Che turned around and stopped looking at him. “It’s up to you whether you believe it or not. To me, it’s not important anymore. Also, this is the last time I call you Brother Po Yun.”
He walked away with heavy steps, not looking back: "Young Master Huo...see you later."
