Chapter 295: We Can’t Do This During The Day!
The Guanxuan Universe was abuzz with activity when Ye Guan''s wedding was announced. It was a monumental event in the Guanxuan Universe, and it was even more exciting because one of the event hosts was Qin Guan—the former Pavilion Master of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion!
The wheels of the entire Immortal Treasures Pavilion rolled at max speed upon hearing of Qin Guan''s return. Naturally, Qin Guan wanted a grand wedding for her son.
The starry skies above Ancient Deste City in Nanzhou were filled with stars. Ye Guan and Nn Jia strolled leisurely along the streets. It was summer, so there were many crickets in the night, which gave rise to a nice ambiance. Ye Guan walked down the street while holding Nn Jia''s hand.
Ye Guan muttered, "There were many twists and turns, but we ended up circling back here."
Nn Jia turned to look at Ye Guan and smiled. "If I were to ask you to live the rest of our lives in seclusion here, would you be willing?"
Ye Guan nodded without hesitation. "Of course."
Nn Jia stopped in her tracks.
She gazed at Ye Guan without saying a word.
Ye Guan added, "I''m serious."
Nn Jia smiled lightly. She grabbed Ye Guan''s hand and continued walking into the distance.
"I still remember the time when you came to my n to break off the engagement," Nn Jia said with a chuckle before asking, "Why did you want to break it off back then?"
Ye Guan smiled at that and exined, "My cultivation had disappeared inexplicably at the time, and I was nothing more than an ordinary person. I wasn''t even sure about my own future, so I didn''t want to drag you down.
"Of course, I also wanted to live a carefree life—without any burdens."
Nn Jia shook her head and smiled. "I knew it!"
Ye Guan looked at Nn Jia and asked, "Why did you not agree to my suggestion?"
"I just felt that it''s not right to kick someone when they''re down," Nn Jia replied.
"Oh?" Ye Guan asked, "Does that mean you had no feelings for me at the time?"
"What?" Nn Jia rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you really think that you were some kind of male hunk whom women cannot resist?"
Ye Guan smiled awkwardly and went quiet.
Nn Jia chuckled and added, "I had a good impression of you. You seemed neither anxious nor pessimistic, even though you were at the lowest point of your life.
"Does that mean that you didn''t think that we''d end up together?"
Nn Jia nodded. "Yep!"
Ye Guan held Nn Jia''s hand without saying a word.
Suddenly, Nn Jia asked, "Do you still remember what you said to Lady Ji Xuan?"
Ji Xuan… Ye Guan was stunned.
He looked at Nn Jia, feeling a bit lost.
Nn Jia held his hand tightly and smiled. "When I was recovering in the Path Sword, I was awake most of the time."
Ye Guan lowered his head slightly without saying anything.
Nn Jia looked at Ye Guan, and tears suddenly streamed down her face. She was smiling despite the tears as she said, "Lady Ji Xuan said that you just have to reciprocate her feelings, and she would treat you as if you were the best thing to have ever existed. You were foolish, and you rejected her.
"If I were in your shoes, I would have epted her feelings."
And that was when Nn Jia realized that she had fallen for him…
Ye Guan wiped away the tears on Nn Jia''s face and whispered, "I want to tell you something."
Nn Jia shook her head and said, "Let''s talk about itter."
Ye Guan stared in astonishment at Nn Jia.
"Do you know what I want to say?" he asked.
Nn Jia smiled. "It''s about Lady Ba Wan, right?"
Ye Guan was stunned.
Nn Jia added, "I''m the current Pavillion Master of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. I oversee the most powerful intelligence organization in our Guanxuan Universe, do you really think you can hide anything from me?"
Ye Guan had no idea what to say, but one thing was for sure—it seemed that it wasn''t a great idea to let one''s wife be the leader of an intelligence organization.
Nn Jia said no more afterward. She held Ye Guan''s hand quietly and walked toward thekeside. Theke reflected stars up above, creating a picturesque sight.
Silence descended upon the couple as they walked toward theke.
Nn Jia suddenly said, "Lady Ba Wan is in the Stone Vige."
Ye Guan was stupefied as he stared at Nn Jia.
Nn Jia smiled and exined, "I asked for Mom''s help…"
Ye Guan''s surprise didn''t subside despite the exnation.
Nn Jia turned to look at theke and muttered, "I''ve sent someone to find her for you. However, the Stone Vige is a special ce, and my people can''t enter it. It is also under the protection of many powerful Divine Spirits."
Ye Guan trembled slightly, seemingly at a loss. He would have felt better if Nn Jia had scolded him, but Nn Jia seemed to have acquiesced, and he had no idea how to respond.
Nn Jia turned to look at Ye Guan. She smiled at his bewildered look and said, "I have only one request."
Ye Guan stared deeply at Nn Jia.
Nn Jia sounded serious as she said, "If one day you no longer love me, please make sure to tell me. Rest assured, I will leave gracefully, and I will not disturb you afterward."
Ye Guan pulled Nn Jia into an embrace.
"One day, I will no longer love you," Ye Guan muttered.
Nn Jia''s grip on Ye Guan''s hand tightened. "When?"
"When I''m no longer breathing…"
Nn Jia was stunned.
Little Pagoda was at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, the mysteriousdy in the pagoda suddenly said, "It''s been recognized since ancient times that schrs are romantic, and those romantic are schrs. Who can resist those who know the path of romance?"
Little Pagoda was silent. What did love have to do with him?
Ye Guan led Nn Jia away.
They hadn''t seen each other for a long time, and it felt as though there were endless topics for them to talk about.
Ye Guan spoke for a long time while Nn Jia listened. She knew a lot, thanks to An You, but it felt different hearing Ye Guan tell her himself. Ye Guan held Nn Jia''s hand tightly, and they chatted for a while.
Time passed quickly, and dawn soon arrived.
Ye Guan and Nn Jiay on arge rock. Nn Jia rested her head on Ye Guan''s arm with her eyes closed. Ye Guan''s gaze fell on her, and he was awed by her delicate and wless demeanor.
The sun slowly rose on the horizon.
Ye Guan opened his eyes. Nn Jia sensed the movement and opened her eyes as well. She nced at the rising sun in the distance and snuggled into Ye Guan''s chest before whispering, "Are you awake?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."
Nn Jia looked up at Ye Guan. A hint of mischief shed in her eyes as she asked, "Howe you were such a good boy?"
Ye Guan was stunned.
Nn Jia blinked innocently and asked, “I thought you were going to do something.”
“Um…” Ye Guan hesitated. Eventually, his hand traveled upward, but Nn Jia grabbed his hand and red at him. “We can’t do this during the day!”
Ye Guan’s expression froze, and he went silent. Staring at the confused Ye Guan, Nn Jia chuckled and gave him a quick peck on the lips. Then, shey in Ye Guan''s arms and muttered, "Ah… I''m so happy…"
At the moment, she wasn''t thedy of the Guanxuan Universe nor the Pavillion Master of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. Her two special identities bestowed upon her a ton of power, but they were also a form of shackles.
In other words, she could only be herself before Ye Guan with no outsiders around.
Ye Guan pulled Nn Jia up and said, "Let''s go to the Ye n."
Ye Guan hadn''t visited the Ye n since he arrived at Ancient Deste City, and he thought it was about time he visited them.
Nn Jia nodded. "Sure."
The two left and soon arrived at the Ye n''s gates.
A guard saw them and flinched.
"What the heck?!" the guard eximed in disbelief.
Ye Guan was rendered speechless while Nn Jia giggled.
The guard turned around and ran as fast as he could into the residence.
Soon, the entire Ye n was abuzz with activity. Ye Xiao led a group of elites to the gates of the Ye n. The members of the Ye n were excited beyond belief upon seeing Ye Guan, while Ye Xiao''s grin was so wide it reached his ears.
Ye Xiao was about to lead the Ye n members to bow, but a surge of sword energy immobilized everyone.
Ye Guan looked at Ye Xiao and chuckled. "There''s no need to stand on ceremony, n Leader."
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "All right! Let''s go inside!"
Ye Guan nodded. "Sure."
Ye Xiao led Ye Guan and Nn Jia into the Ancestor Shrine of the Ye n. Ye Guan hesitated for a moment before asking, "n Leader, you''re not going to ask me to be the next n leader again, are you?"
Ye Xiao burst intoughter and asked, "Why would I do that?"
He wouldn''t have minded letting Ye Guan be the next n leader, but Ye Guan had be the King of the Guanxuan Universe!
Ye Xiao chuckled and changed the topic. "You''re getting married to Little Jia, right?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."
Ye Xiaoughed heartily before saying, “Your affairs are our Ye n''s affairs. I have to report your marriage to our ancestors.”
Ye Xiao picked up three sticks of incense.
He bowed deeply to the spirit tablets of the Ye n ancestors when Ye Guan suddenly walked up to him. Ye Guan picked up three sticks of incense and was about to pay his respects when Ye Xiao stopped him.
"Little Guan, your identity..." Ye Xiao stammered.
Ye Guan smiled and said, "I''m a member of the Yang and Ye n."
With that, he picked up three sticks of incense and bowed deeply to the spirit tablets of the Ye n ancestors.
“Ancestors of the Ye n, please bestow upon me your protection!"
Crack!
The spirit tablets cracked open at once.
Ye Guan was stunned, and the members of the Ye n were stupefied.
Huh? Ye Guan was bewildered. I didn''t do anything!
Little Pagoda exined, "It''s the effect of causality, and they simply failed to withstand the karma thates with protecting you."
Ye Guan was a bit embarrassed upon hearing that.
The Ye n members looked at each other in confusion.
Ye Guan hesitated briefly before cing the three sticks of incense back into the incense burner. “Ancestors, I don’t need your protection. Please rest in peace.”
After a while, everyone left, allowing Ye Guan, Nn Jia, and Ye Xiao to remain and talk to each other in the grand hall.
Ye Xiao''s heart swelled with pride as he swept his gaze across Ye Guan and Nn Jia. Ye Xiao was ecstatic. He was the one who had arranged their marriage, and they were finally tying the knot.
Ye Xiao suddenly asked, “Ye Qing…”
Ye Guan grinned and said, “Ye Qing is cultivating in the academy, and he''s be a Peak Immortal Realm cultivator!”
Ye Xiao’s expression froze, and a thought jumped into his mind. He couldn''t help but shake his head and marvel at the Ye n''s fortune and luck.
Ye Guan and Ye Qing! The two brothers were getting along without any issues.
Ye Guan suddenly said, “n Leader, you must be there during our wedding.”
Ye Xiao burst outughing and replied, “Of course, I''d be there!”
"n Leader!" someone shouted from outside the great hall. Just then, a member of the Ye n reached the great hall and cried out, "There are many people outside!"
Ye Xiao frowned. At this point, who would dare to cause trouble for the Ye n?
