She is Fellow Daoist Li's master, and must be the famous Venerable Yu Yan.
Baili Weifeng had seen Yu Yan's portrait.
He felt somewhat regretful that he hadn't seen her face when he met her for the first time under these circumstances.
He had already informed his father about Venerable Yu Yan's presence here as soon as possible.
Baili Weifeng glanced at Baili Niaoniao beside him.
If the elders can reach an agreement, the younger sister's marriage can be settled.
——
Yu Yan thought about it and did not refuse the invitation from the Baili family head.
She never expected that the other party would want to discuss her apprentice's marriage.
Yu Yan raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
"Patriarch Baili, I cannot make this decision."
The head of the Baili family stiffened; in his view, Yu Yan's words meant she was refusing.
Where is there anything that elders cannot do for their juniors?
"Venerable One, if this joyous occasion can be accomplished, it will be a cause for celebration for both the Cangmiao Sect and my Baili family! Won't you reconsider?"
Yu Yan glanced at Li Ze, who was standing behind her and remained silent.
The boy's head was lowered, so his expression was not visible, and Yu Yan's heart stirred.
"Lize, what do you think?"
"What does this have to do with me? I'm still young. Master can ask my senior brothers and junior brothers instead."
Upon hearing Yu Yan's question, Li Ze immediately looked up and grinned.
In fact, he had been sweating profusely with nervousness ever since the head of the Baili family brought up the topic.
Whether he likes it or not doesn't matter.
He won't get involved; let whoever he wants marry into the family do so!
The boy's words, which clearly distanced him from the situation, sent a chill down Baili Niaoniao's spine, who was filled with anxious anticipation.
The girl stood beside the head of the Baili family, her eyes lowered sadly.
The head of the Baili family gave her a look of disappointment.
What a waste of such a good opportunity!
"Hahahaha, what are you saying, young friend Li? I've heard that you're from Lizhou Island. Is that true or not?"
The head of the Baili family smiled, but a dark glint lurked in his eyes.
Upon hearing these words, Yu Yan's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and her lazy aura instantly rose to a higher level.
"Who told Patriarch Baili this?" Yu Yan asked.
Li Ze didn't tell anyone that she came from Li Zhou Island.
The head of the Baili family immediately felt a chill; he had just kicked a hornet's nest.
"It's just hearsay, just hearsay, hahahahahaha."
There are quite a few cultivators with the surname Li in the cultivation world.
But Li Ze's surname is Li, which inevitably makes people think a lot.
He is Yu Yan's apprentice, and his background is a mystery. Many people speculate that Li Ze probably comes from that place.
If this is true, he will be even less likely to let go of this precious son-in-law!
Li Ze felt a chill run down his spine, and he clenched and unclenched his fists.
Even someone as foolish as him could see that the Baili family head had his eye on him.
Perhaps he realized it much earlier, but subconsciously refused to admit it.
"Patriarch Baili, I dislike hearing rumors the most."
A smile graced the woman's stunningly beautiful features, but the smile didn't reach her eyes; her peach blossom eyes were filled with displeasure at being offended.
It's one thing to make wild guesses about her apprentice's background, but to spout nonsense in front of her is another.
She was naturally unhappy.
Yu Yan never intended to reveal Li Ze's identity.
The allure of Lizhou Island to cultivators in the cultivation world has never diminished due to the barriers to entry.
She couldn't afford to take any risks before Li Ze had fully matured.
Even if she can protect him, she still needs to be prepared for the worst.
