In contrast to the ugly look on Ye Yu’s face, Nangong Yue’s face went pale with shock. She crawled to her feet and hurriedly rushed out of the grand hall.
Right now, Nangong Yue’s heart was filled with so much remorse and she finally understood that her father truly had her best interests at heart. She should not have been so willful and rash to leave her safe harbor! If she was still in Tranquil Mountain City, her father would certainly be able to protect her.
Suddenly, a ray of red light flashed across the hall, striking her body and throwing it out of the way.
In her final moments, she gazed upon the man’s bloodthirsty and merciless red eyes and his head of breathtaking silvery hair…
“The show’s over. We should return to our quarters and rest.”
Qianbei Ye raised the corners of his lips and put his hand away. He looked as if the person who had just committed the murder was not him at all.
“Alright.”
Gu Ruoyun nodded before turning towards Qianbei Ye and smiling, “Xiao Ye, there’s something that I want to show you.”
“Nuo’er,” Ye Xingtian watched Gu Ruoyun and Qianbei Ye leave and frowned, “This man is her aforementioned husband-to-be? When had he appeared?”
Ye Nuo did not reply. His eyes twinkled mysteriously and no one could tell what he was thinking…
“Father, I want to go into closed-door cultivation.”
“Er…”
Ye Xingtian was stunned. After all, this son of his was usually most annoyed with being forced to do closed-door cultivation. Now, he was actually taking the initiative to suggest it. Could it be that the sun was rising from the West?
“Father, Grandfather was right. I can only grow stronger in order to help her. So, I’ve decided to lock myself up. Once I’ve broken through to become a Martial Emperor, I’ll look for her again.”
At this moment, the little youth’s face was full of resolve. His eyes flashed with a determined light.
Ye Xingtian laughed bitterly and replied with exasperation, “Alright then, you may commence your cultivation in your grandfather’s cultivation room. If your grandfather sees how you’re making an effort, he’ll be very happy. He will definitely be very willing to loan you his cultivation room.”
Ye Nuo took one last look at Gu Ruoyun and slightly clenched his little fists.
…
The clear, cold glow of moonlight poured down upon the room.
The two of them looked at each other face-to-face in the bedroom. Illuminated by the glow of the moonlight, the sight of it was as beautiful as a portrait.
“Yun’er, we’ve been apart for so many days. There’s something that I need to tell you.” Qianbei Ye took two steps towards her. His peerlessly beautiful features were enveloped by the light of the moon and he was so devastaingly beautiful that one becomes breathless in his presence, “Every minute and every second that I was away from you feels like an entire century to me. So, from now on, I don’t want you to be away from me for too long.”
He could still remember the last time she had left him at Azure Dragon Country. In the end, he had gone to look for her, unable to bear his longing for her.
Gu Ruoyun stared blankly before nodding, “Alright, then you’ll follow me wherever I go.”
“Yun’er,” Qianbei Ye gazed at Gu Ruoyun in complete seriousness, “That’s not what I meant. I’m saying… Marry me, isn’t that good?”
Gu Ruoyun was completely dazed.
A year ago, Qianbei Ye’s coma showed her that she could not be without this man and made her realize that, after their years of interaction, she had slowly developed feelings for him. However, honestly speaking, she had never thought of marrying him.
