"Master, you must not say such things carelessly."
Chi Yuan frowned slightly and said in a solemn tone, "Why would Bingying break off her engagement with Ye Chen? It's because she was unwilling to let her fate be controlled by a marriage contract, so she was willing to endure all the criticism from the world to fight back. If Master does this, wouldn't you also be toying with her fate?"
"I... I had no intention of playing tricks on her. I only did it because she likes you and I didn't want their teacher-student relationship to be broken because of you..."
Feng Yaoyao rarely showed a hint of injustice. She puffed out her cheeks unhappily and looked at Wenren Bingying, asking, "Little girl, in your opinion, do I have a destiny to play tricks on you?"
Wenren Bingying shook her head and said seriously, "Grandmaster never played tricks on Bingying's fate. Admittedly, my breaking off the engagement with Ye Chen was a fight against fate, but that's because I don't like Ye Chen at all. I don't want to marry a stranger who doesn't move me."
“But Grandmaster’s arrangement is different. It’s based on my liking for Uncle-Master, and I’m willing to accept Grandmaster’s arrangement, so it’s definitely not a prank!”
Upon hearing this, Feng Yaoyao's eyebrows relaxed, and she immediately gained full confidence: "Did you hear that, little Fengfeng? This was her own choice. Your teacher did not force her!"
Chi Yuan's brows furrowed even more beneath his mask as he looked intently at Wenren Bingying and said, "Bingying, this matter concerns not only your reputation but also your lifelong happiness. Don't follow your grandmaster's foolish ways."
"I'm not joking!"
Wenren Bingying suddenly found immense courage and approached Chi Yuan, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at him, saying, "Young Master Fufeng, do you know that during that month in the Abyss of Death, whenever I was about to collapse and felt like I was going to die, the person I subconsciously thought of was you? It was you who supported me to stand up again and again, and to unleash my hidden potential time and time again. If it weren't for you supporting my beliefs, I'm afraid I would have become a lonely ghost in the Abyss of Death."
"Bingying understands that it is somewhat unorthodox for me to serve you alongside my master, but I no longer care, because the moment I emerged alive from the Abyss of Death, I realized that my life cannot be without you!"
"So, Young Master Fufeng, whether you think Bingying is self-deprecating or shameless, Bingying is willing to accept her master's arrangement. As long as she can be your woman, Bingying really doesn't care about anything else!"
"Ice jasmine..."
An Yuxi stared blankly at Wenren Bingying, feeling an involuntary empathy in her heart. Wasn't she also afraid of losing Chi Yuan in her life? From the moment Chi Yuan risked his life to save her from danger, his mark had been branded on her heart. Even if she wanted to erase it, she simply couldn't bear the pain of having her heart ripped out.
She could completely empathize with Wenren Bingying's feelings at this moment.
Chi Yuan's fingers trembled slightly as he gazed at Wenren Bingying in silence.
At this moment, An Yuxi came to Chi Yuan's side, gently took Chi Yuan's hand and said, "Junior brother, I... I can accept it."
"Shut up!"
Chi Yuan glared at An Yuxi and rebuked her sharply.
An Yuxi trembled, looking like a young wife who had offended her husband's authority. A look of grievance and timidity appeared on her face. She clasped her hands under her stomach and looked at Chi Yuan with a pitiful gaze, not daring to say anything more.
Seeing that Chi Yuan had subdued An Yuxi, who was two major realms higher than him, so obediently, Sikong Yan's mood sank to the bottom. He was very familiar with this behavior. Every time he disciplined his wives and concubines, they were all like this. Could it be that An Yuxi had already regarded herself as Chi Yuan's person from the bottom of her heart?
"Little Fengfeng, if you want to be fierce, be fierce to your teacher. Anyway, your teacher has already made up his mind. Just wait and enjoy the bliss of having two women, hehe."
Feng Yaoyao gave a mischievous smile, then called out to Wenren Bingying, "Little girl, forget about your uncle, take me to eat something delicious."
"Yes, Grandmaster."
Wenren Bingying obediently replied, gazing at Chi Yuan with affection in her beautiful eyes before leading Feng Yaoyao to their seats.
Chi Yuan was in a state of turmoil and followed without saying a word. An Yuxi lowered her head slightly and followed closely behind Chi Yuan.
Sikong Yan's face darkened. If Feng Yaoyao was just randomly pairing people up, he would still have a sliver of a chance. But if An Yuxi had already accepted Chi Yuan, then he would have no chance of getting An Yuxi. Otherwise, would he dare to forcibly snatch her from Feng Yaoyao's hands?
Not to mention him, even his master would never dare to think that the Heavenly Phoenix Clan behind Feng Yaoyao was someone that Yingyue Sect could not afford to provoke. Even if the Daqian royal family were added, they would be as insignificant as ants in front of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. If he had any idea of snatching her away, his master would probably cripple him before Feng Yaoyao even had to make a move.
"Sigh, never mind..."
Sikong Yan was filled with resentment, which eventually turned into a sigh of dejection, and he no longer had any thoughts about An Yuxi.
"Zhen'er, do you still want to try?"
Sikong Yan regained his composure as the head of a sect and asked Gan Zhen with a hint of warning.
Gan Zhen hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said to Chi Yuan's back, "Even if I lose, I will lose with dignity!"
After speaking, he strode confidently toward his seat.
Sikong Yan shook his head and chuckled, feeling relieved. Since Gan Zhen had already come to terms with reality, it wouldn't hurt to let him indulge in his whims.
He walked slowly toward his seat with his hands behind his back.
Upon seeing this, almost everyone present hurriedly looked away, some praising the fish swimming in the clear pond, others admiring the beautiful moonlight, as if nothing had happened.
Even Gongbo Yang, the host, stroked his beard with great interest, admiring the beautiful starry sky. Inwardly, however, he was groaning. If he had known such an unpleasant thing would happen, he would have been crazy to have taken on this task. Now, instead of flattering the horse, he had slapped it in the face...
Rong Qingyan's thoughts were different from others. As she gazed at Chi Yuan's figure, anxiety was hidden in her naturally alluring eyes.
Four months have passed, but Ye Chen is still hiding in the Shenxiao Sect and won't come out. It's unclear whether he sensed the danger or for some other reason, but he just won't leave the Shenxiao Sect, making it impossible for her to find an opportunity for Feng Yaoyao to kill him.
More importantly, the three You Rong sisters have made almost no progress with Chi Yuan in the past few months, and have not even been able to see him. If this continues, if the You Rong clan finds out that Ye Chen has the Divine Sun Body, and they have failed to make Chi Yuan one of their own, then everything will be over.
"This can't go on any longer. Even if it comes at a price, we must make substantial progress on him!"
A resolute look flashed in You Rong Qingyan's eyes.
