Ruan Jinling was quite open-minded, but after all, she was a woman. Hearing her own sect leader, Ye Xu, speaking about her and Yang Chen’s affair so bluntly, she couldn’t help blushing and did not know how to respond.
Seeing Ruan Jinling’s appearance, Ye Xu stroked his chin, almost sure of what was on her mind. At least for now, it seemed that Ruan Jinling did not dislike Yang Chen.
Indeed, it’s natural for beauties to love heroes.
Ye Xu slowly said, “Jinling, you might not know, but countless people from major powers have come to propose marriage to you. I’ve turned down all of them, even though they’re from strong backgrounds with talented disciples. Do you know why?”
Ruan Jinling took a long breath and said, “Jinling doesn’t know.”
Ye Xu said, “Because they’re not qualified. Jinling, I’m being realistic and straightforward here. When Donghuang Sect cultivates you, they expect you to repay them in the future. But as a Saintess of Donghuang Sect, you can’t just marry whoever. Those first-rate talents from the outside world are not qualified.”
There are many first-rate talents, but there’s only one Saintess of Donghuang Sect.
Ye Xu couldn’t have miscalculated this deal.
“To marry you, they need to show their true abilities. I wanted to test whether Yang Xilin has this ability. Interestingly, he does.” Ye Xu said.
Ruan Jinling blushed and hesitated, “But Sect Leader, Young Master Yang absorbed your technique with a Xuan Tian treasure, so it might not be his true ability. Isn’t it too hasty to make that decision?”
“Haha, Jinling, the more you say this, the more it proves that you have feelings for this kid.” Ye Xu laughed heartily.
“I don’t!” Ruan Jinling hastily defended. She considered Ye Xu as her elder.
Ye Xu said, “Jinling, you’re only looking at the surface. Indeed, if this kid merely used the Xuan Tian treasure to counter my palm strike, I wouldn’t look up to him, let alone involve him with you. But do you know, even without using that gourd, I feel he could still resist my palm strike.”
“Why do you think so, Sect Leader?” Ruan Jinling asked in astonishment.
“Because of his eyes. A person who relies on a Xuan Tian treasure wouldn’t have such determined eyes. His eyes are full of confidence in himself rather than the gourd. That’s why I think the gourd is just an aid to him. It’s not shameful to use a Xuan Tian treasure. It’s shameful to rely on one. Yang Xilin is the former, not the latter.” Ye Xu said lightly.
Ruan Jinling looked stunned.
Ye Xu continued, “Jinling, Yang Xilin is exceptional; his talent and level are rare in my lifetime. After the Dao Discussion Conference, I’ve been considering bringing you two together. Now, I just need your answer. How do you feel about this kid? If there’s no problem, I can start planning this matter.”
Hearing Ye Xu’s words, Ruan Jinling couldn’t help but wonder. She couldn’t imagine how outstanding Yang Chen must be to earn such high praise from her Sect Leader after just one glance, even hurriedly wanting to marry her off.
Ruan Jinling was well aware that even though the Donghuang Sect was her home and Ye Xu treated her as a junior, she still had no say in her marriage.
As Ye Xu said, why did Donghuang Sect train her to be radiant, dazzling, and hold a higher status than others? Was it because they owed her something?
Of course not.
The Donghuang Sect had its own interests in consolidating alliances through marriage. Some may find it cruel, but Ruan Jinling understood it was a fair trade.
At least, Ye Xu would ask her if she had any feelings for Yang Chen.
Fortunately, though she wasn’t sure how she felt about him, she didn’t dislike him at all.
Ruan Jinling slowly lowered her head and whispered, “Sect Leader, this matter is entirely up to you!”
Hearing this, Ye Xu understood Ruan Jinling’s thoughts and said heartily, “Alright, alright!”
…
At the same time, Yang Chen was unaware of these conversations. He returned to his residence, preparing to wait for the Dao Discussion Conference to begin. Regardless of the outcome of the conference, he would focus on doing his best.
Time passed, and not knowing when exactly the Dao Discussion Conference would begin, Yang Chen concentrated on his cultivation. With his divine soul detection, he could sense many sects arriving at Donghuang Sect.
Just as Yang Chen was observing, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind, startling him.
“Yang Chen!”
“Yang Chen…”
Yang Chen trembled upon hearing the voice, “Bai…”
“Don’t say my name. If you really are Yang Chen, get up, walk out the door, go a hundred zhang forward, then turn left by the creek and find a cave facing east. Enter it.” The hoarse voice once again echoed in Yang Chen’s mind.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen took a deep breath and followed the directions without hesitation. He arrived at the cave facing east as instructed.
The cave was pitch-black, and his hands weren’t visible even when held out. However, as he went deeper, it gradually became brighter. When he reached the depths, he found the source of the light, which turned out to be a round bead.
Seeing the bead, Yang Chen couldn’t help feeling puzzled, his eyes examining it closely while his divine soul spread out to cover it.
As his divine soul entered the bead, Yang Chen suddenly felt his soul being absorbed into it in large quantities. He instinctively wanted to resist, but the powerful force trapped him, making him submit eventually.
“Well done, kid. My treasure took so long to absorb your divine soul. Your soul realm is far more advanced than the Second Level of the Earth Martial Realm.” The hoarse voice resounded once more as Yang Chen’s divine soul was completely absorbed.
Yang Chen quickly looked around and found that his absorbed divine soul was in another peculiar space.
There were only two people in this space.
One was him, and the other was the owner of the voice, Emperor Bai Wei.
Seeing Bai Wei, Yang Chen’s eyes filled with surprise. He had anticipated this, but didn’t expect the person who found him to be Bai Wei himself.
Now that Bai Wei saw Yang Chen, he couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile.
