Chapter 446 Marry Yue'er?
Mu Bingyun pursed her red lips slightly, looked up at Yun Chen, and smiled.
"Since that's the case... then you will become a disciple of my Chaoyin Pavilion?"
"Although I cannot discern your physique, with your talent, it should be no less than that of an innate Dao physique. Joining the Chaoyin Pavilion... with your talent and the resources of my Chaoyin Pavilion, your future achievements are limitless."
She paused for a moment, then said, "As for the whereabouts of your master, that can also be offered as a gift for becoming a disciple."
Before Yun Chen could even speak, Elder Lei, who was standing to the side, became anxious.
He wondered why the other party was being so kind, asking him to call Yun Chen over, saying they wanted to tell him about Yun Chen's master's whereabouts. It seemed like they were here to kidnap him.
He originally thought that as long as the other party was willing to hand over the person, it wouldn't be unreasonable for Shenlei Palace to pay some price.
But now... they're actually trying to poach our players! This is intolerable!
"Fairy of the Azure Waves, do you take me for air?"
Elder Lei's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his voice was icy cold: "Yun Chen is the personal disciple of the sect leader of my Divine Thunder Palace. We are from the same lineage, so what makes you think that your Tide Sound Pavilion is stronger than my Divine Thunder Palace?"
"Is it because you've been hiding like a coward for a thousand years, or is it because your Chaoyin Pavilion is full of women?"
"Ah!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Bingyun's lips curled into a cold smile, her voice icy: "Don't forget, your Divine Thunder Palace's sect leader is also a woman. How dare you look down on a woman?"
"And... do you really think that the Chaoyin Pavilion isn't showing up because it's afraid of your three major lineages?"
"Then you can try and see if the Divine Thunder Palace is afraid of your Tide Sound Pavilion," Elder Lei said coldly.
Of the three major lineages in the Eastern Continent, the Divine Thunder Palace has always been superior to the other two. When has it ever been looked down upon like this?
They used to be the ones looking down on others.
"Let's give it a try...!"
Mu Bingyun snorted coldly, and with a wave of her hand, the Ice Marrow Bow appeared in the void, aimed at Elder Lei.
Seeing this, Elder Lei also prepared to take out his weapon.
Seeing this, Yun Chen quickly spoke up to stop them: "You two are both getting on in years, don't be so impulsive."
Who are you calling an old man?
Before Elder Lei could speak, Mu Bingyun spoke first, her voice filled with intense killing intent.
Yun Chen was startled, almost forgetting that age is a woman's Achilles' heel.
He quickly smiled apologetically and said, "That's not what I meant. I meant that you are all seniors in high positions, and you're always fighting and killing each other. Aren't you afraid that your disciples will laugh at you?"
"Humph!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Bingyun snorted coldly and put away the Ice Marrow Bow.
Elder Lei also put away his weapon and sat down again.
Seeing that the two had calmed down, Yun Chen said, "Thank you for your kindness, Pavilion Master Mu. I appreciate it. However, now that I have entered the Divine Thunder Palace, I am a disciple of the Divine Thunder Palace for life and will never change my allegiance. I am afraid I cannot comply with your request."
"Don't you want to save your master?"
Mu Bingyun was somewhat surprised and raised an eyebrow at Yun Chen.
Yun Chen said, "Of course I want to save Master, but there are some principles... that cannot be broken."
If Elder Lei weren't here, he would have agreed without the slightest hesitation.
In any case, for him, the Divine Thunder Palace was definitely not as important as his master.
But with Elder Lei here... if he were to say he was willing to join the Chaoyin Pavilion, it would seem like he was being ungrateful...
He couldn't do it.
Of course, most importantly... even if she doesn't tell me now, I can still find out where my master is after I win the championship, so there's no need to agree to her condition now.
Mu Bingyun's lips twitched, and she looked up at Ling Shuang.
Ling Shuang's gaze remained calm, showing no reaction.
Elder Lei, however, was overjoyed.
"Good lad, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Well done."
Yun Chen thought to himself, "I didn't misread it at all. I'm just too embarrassed to openly betray the Divine Thunder Palace. Do you really think I don't want to agree?"
Of course, Elder Lei would never know what he was thinking, otherwise he would be furious.
"Alright, since... you're unwilling to agree to the second condition, then I'll give you one last condition. If you agree... I'll not only release your master, but I'll also help her break through to the Nascent Soul stage."
"Oh? That's good? What are the conditions?" Yun Chen looked at the other party with a playful expression.
The first two conditions were so absurd, he didn't believe the third condition could be any better.
As expected, Mu Bingyun remained silent for a moment before uttering a condition that surprised everyone: "Since neither of you is willing to join my Chaoyin Pavilion..."
Her gaze shifted between Yun Chen and Leng Hanyue behind him, finally settling on Yun Chen. Her tone was chillingly calm: "Then you shall marry Yue'er."
"what?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked!
Elder Lei's eyes widened suddenly, and he almost jumped up from his chair.
Elder Ling Shuang's icy face showed a moment of surprise.
Leng Hanyue, who had been standing quietly, suddenly looked up, her beautiful face instantly flushed, her eyes filled with disbelief, and she cried out in a low voice, "Master!"
Yun Chen was completely stunned.
He never expected that the third condition proposed by the other party would be this.
He subconsciously looked at Leng Hanyue, and met her eyes, which were filled with surprise, embarrassment, and a hint of complicated emotions.
An eerie silence fell over the attic.
Moonlight streamed through the window lattice, quietly bathing everyone in its glow, making the scene exceptionally clear.
"How about it? My disciple is a beauty of unparalleled grace, yet she has never been a virgin, nor has she ever had a Daoist partner. Is she... good enough for you?"
Mu Bingyun's voice broke the silence, carrying an undeniable certainty, as if she were stating something perfectly ordinary.
Yun Chen snapped out of his shock, his brows furrowed, and his gaze toward Mu Bingyun was filled with incomprehension and scrutiny.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the absurdity in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Sect Master Mu, I don't understand. Why must I be engaged to Senior Sister Leng? What does this have to do with my master's whereabouts? Please explain."
His calm reaction surprised Mu Bingyun.
She did not answer directly, but picked up her teacup, took a sip, and slowly said, "My Chaoyin Pavilion has a secret technique that requires a like-minded partner to perform in order to unleash its full power."
"Moon possesses the Ice Soul Saint Body, and you... if I'm not mistaken, the power hidden within you is extremely yang and strong, which perfectly complements Moon's extreme cold energy."
"If you two become Daoist partners and cultivate together to help each other, not only will your cultivation be twice as effective, but you will also have the potential to jointly strive for the supreme Dao in the future."
As she finished speaking, Elder Lei's expression changed, and he stared at Yun Chen with hostility.
If Yun Chen dares to agree, he will immediately kill him.
How dare you betray Ruoruo?
Even if he is a genius who has been blessed with nine thunderbolts, he will still be killed without hesitation.
Leng Hanyue bit her lower lip tightly, the blush on her cheeks hadn't faded, and her eyes were full of complicated thoughts, it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Ling Shuang blinked curiously, seemingly anticipating Yun Chen's answer.
Faced with their scrutiny, Yun Chen's lips twitched, and the image of Zhao Xiruo's charming smile flashed through his mind. Without any hesitation, he remained calm.
He raised his head, his gaze clear and firm, and addressed Mu Bingyun, as well as everyone present, saying each word clearly: "Sect Master Mu, I am deeply grateful for your kindness and for your high regard for me. However, I apologize."
He paused, his tone utterly serious: "I already have someone I love. Ruoruo and I are mutually in love and have long since decided on each other. A true man stands between heaven and earth, keeping his word and devoting himself to one person. I will never betray my feelings for her for any reason, much less use it as a bargaining chip."
His gaze shifted to Leng Hanyue, whose expression was complex, and he nodded slightly apologetically: "Senior Sister Leng is a woman of unparalleled beauty and profound cultivation, a perfect match for you that is hard to find in this world. But matters of the heart cannot be forced. If this matter were to come to fruition, it would be unfair to Senior Sister Leng. If I were to agree, it would be a triple betrayal of Ruoruo, Senior Sister Leng, and my own heart."
He paused, then continued, "I am afraid I cannot comply with this request. Therefore, I would like to ask Pavilion Master Mu to offer another condition!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the attic fell silent once again.
