"No."
Ye Chen's answer was firm and without hesitation. He looked at Murong Xue with calm eyes.
"I am a rebellious person and don't like to be arranged."
Ye Chen didn't want to leave Murong Xue with any illusions, which was good for both parties.
However, when Murong Xue heard this, a glimmer of light appeared in her dim eyes again.
Her beauty is not inferior to Luo Qingcheng, so she just doesn't believe that Ye Chen has never had any thoughts about her.
Ye Chen just said that he didn’t like the arranged marriage, but he didn’t say that he didn’t have any feelings for her!
In terms of beauty, she is not inferior to Luo Qingcheng. She doesn't believe that the man in front of her doesn't have the slightest attraction to her.
She raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Ye Chen without blinking.
"Then... then have you ever felt even a little bit for me?"
Murong Xue plucked up her courage and stared closely into Ye Chen's eyes, trying to find a flaw in him.
"No."
Ye Chen's answer was still crisp and clear, like a basin of cold water poured over her head, extinguishing the flame that had just ignited in Murong Xue's heart.
There was no hesitation, no euphemism, and not even the slightest emotional fluctuation.
This is also the truth that Ye Chen said.
"you……"
Murong Xue was so angry at Ye Chen's ruthless answer that her pretty face turned red and her eyebrows raised.
How could this guy be so irritating? How could he be so unromantic!
Even if it's a little more tactful!
After a moment, Murong Xue took a deep breath and regained her composure, but there was a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.
She looked at Ye Chen's handsome face: Yes, he is so outstanding and so dazzling, I was indeed blind at the time.
Ye Chen's straightforward rejection actually aroused her competitive spirit.
"Okay, I'm not worthy of you now."
"But I will practice hard and I will catch up with you!"
"One day, I will become good enough and strong enough to truly stand by your side!"
A will to never give up burned in Murong Xue's eyes.
"I want to stay by your side, even if it means... being a maid, I am willing!"
She said this in a decisive and resolute manner, with a determination to burn her boats.
"Why are you doing this?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but rub his eyebrows and felt a little headache.
What the hell is going on?
He already has Mo Ji and Qing Cheng by his side, and now he has Ruo Xi, so he really doesn't want to get involved with other women.
What's more, he really didn't have any thoughts like that towards Murong Xue.
"Humph, I'm happy with it! It's none of your business!"
Seeing Ye Chen frown, Murong Xue revealed a little girl's arrogance, and her tone was a little unreasonable and naive.
It was as if the person who was lost, angry and aggrieved just now was not her.
Ye Chen: “…”
Ye Chen was speechless for a moment.
Sure enough, once a woman gets serious, or starts to throw a tantrum, sometimes it's really unreasonable to talk to her.
The two stood side by side again, neither of them spoke, their eyes looking towards the distant sky with rolling clouds.
After a long time, Murong Xue broke the silence again. Curiosity eventually overcame other emotions.
"Ye Chen."
"What realm are you in now?"
She really wanted to know what realm Ye Chen, the most talented person, could reach after ascending to the fairyland for a thousand years.
"Before he was injured, he was a Xuanxian."
Ye Chen glanced at her and spoke lightly without hiding anything.
"Xuanxian?"
Murong Xue was stunned. This word was completely unfamiliar to her.
"What realm is that?"
She only knew that the ultimate goal of cultivation was to ascend to become an immortal, but she had no idea about the realm above that of an immortal.
Seeing her bewildered face, Ye Chen briefly explained:
"There are nine levels of immortals."
"From lowest to highest, they are: Void Immortal, Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Taiyi Immortal Venerable, and Immortal Emperor."
Ye Chen calmly divided the realms of the fairy world and briefly explained it again.
The name of each realm seemed to contain some kind of profound truth, which made Murong Xue's heart flutter.
After hearing this, Murong Xue was completely stunned as if she was struck by lightning!
"You...you are a Xuanxian?!"
"You've only been in the ascendant for a thousand years, and you've already reached the Xuanxian level!"
She turned her head suddenly, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Her talent is definitely rare in the entire Canglan Continent, but it took her a thousand years to cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
The realm after becoming an immortal is even more difficult to break through, but Ye Chen only took a thousand years and was almost reaching the peak!
Murong Xue's beautiful eyes shone with brilliance, and only then did she realize how outstanding this man was.
She finally understood what a great opportunity she had missed!
A strong sense of regret instantly overwhelmed her like a tide.
It can only be said that Murong Xue still underestimated Ye Chen's talent.
If she knew, the time it took Ye Chen to ascend to the Xuanxian level was less than a hundred years.
The next thousand years were spent sleeping and healing. What kind of expression would she have?
Will she completely abandon all her reserve, throw herself into Ye Chen's arms regardless of everything, and hold on tightly without letting go?
Ye Chen looked at Murong Xue's shocked expression, just smiled faintly and said nothing more.
Some things don't need too much explanation.
At this moment, Master Xuanji walked out of the Qingyin Pavilion hall with a beaming face.
Looking at the satisfied smile on his face, it was obvious that he had reached an agreement with Qingyin Pavilion to jointly mine spiritual mines.
"Little Ye."
Master Xuanji walked quickly towards Ye Chen.
"Let's go back to Tianxuan Sect."
Ye Chen nodded and didn't plan to stay here any longer.
The group turned into several streams of light, soared into the sky, quickly left Qingyin Pavilion, and rushed towards Tianxuan Sect.
…
A moment later, the three of them landed in front of the purple bamboo forest in the back mountain of Tianxuan Sect.
Master Xuanji went to the main hall of the clan to deal with the joint mining of spiritual mines with Qingyin Pavilion.
As the breeze blows, the bamboo leaves make a rustling sound, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves.
Ye Chen stood in front of the bamboo forest, his eyes filled with complexity and nostalgia.
This is where his master, the old demon Su, who was disrespectful but upright, lived for hundreds of years.
This was also the place where Ye Chen stayed for nearly seven years after being kicked down from the fairyland by his master.
The scene before him had hardly changed from when he left a thousand years ago.
The simple bamboo house, the stone table and stone bench in front of the house... everything remains the same.
The floor was swept clean and the stone table was spotless. Obviously, Master Xuanji had sent people to clean it carefully for thousands of years.
Things have changed and people have changed.
Ye Chen's eyes swept across the familiar bamboo forest, and countless dusty memories flooded into his heart again like a tide.
He recalled every detail of his life here.
I remembered how rebellious I was when I first came here.
He remembered secretly teaching Lin Shuo and Su Chen how to comprehend the sword intent in the middle of the night.
