Wham!
Wen Luo raised his hand before slamming it onto the top of his skull. The others watched as his body slowly collapsed to the ground.
Qianbei Ye knows that Wen Luo was speaking the truth.
The Murong family members who were here this time were not on par with the ones he had faced previously! Based on his current measure of power, even if he had faced the previous group, they would not need to forcefully raise their powers in order to be evenly matched with him in battle...
"Yun'er."
Qianbei Ye did not give Wen Luo's body a second glace as he turned around and walked towards Gu Ruoyun's side. He then reached out his hand and pulled her into his embrace.
His previously dark and gloomy gaze was now filled with absolute tenderness while his silvery hair danced softly in the wind. It was such a magnificent and peerless sight that it could drive all living things to madness.
"I'm back."
Yes, he was back!
He has returned to see her.
"Xiao Ye..." Gu Ruoyun gently lifted the corners of her lips and smiled at him. "Welcome back."
She did not ask him why he had not kept his promise because she knows that Qianbei Ye would have his reasons for not making it back to Wind Valley on time.
She chooses to trust him no matter what.
"Ahem."
Grand Lord Hong Lian cleared his throat and chimed in with a melancholic voice, "Can you two exercise a little restraint, can't you see that there are other people here?"
"Yun'er," Dongfang Yu chuckled as her eyes continued to measure Qianbei Ye from head to toe. "Aren't you going to introduce him to me? Is this..."
Gu Ruoyun was just about to reply when Grand Lord Hong Lian cut her off.
"This damned kid has been intertwined with our precious daughter countless times. However, he hasn't completely passed all of my tests so I am not acknowledging him as my son-in-law for the time being."
What a joke.
I want my daughter to stay with me for a few more years. Why should I let this damned kid off so easily?
"I think he's alright." Dongfang Yu smiled with satisfaction. "Let's not interfere in this matter, they can handle themselves. What do you think, Brother Tian?"
"But..."
Grand Lord Hong Lian was still feeling very reluctant. Before he could complete his sentence, he caught Dongfang Yu's look.
"Brother Tian," Dongfang Yu raised her lips into a smile as she turned around to look at Grand Lord Hong Lian. "How about I sleep at Yun'er's room for the next few days and you can sleep on your own? I'm worried that Yun'er feels lonely and does not have anyone to talk to."
A threat!
This was indeed a threat!
There was no way Grand Lord Hong Lian would miss the hidden meaning behind Dongfang Yu's words. He forcefully took a deep breath and glared at Qianbei Ye. "You're lucky, kid, even my wife is on your side. Since that's the case, I am forced to accept you."
It was bad enough that he had not seen Dongfang Yu for so many years. Therefore, he must have good relations with her at night. How could he let her leave so easily?
Fine, fine. Daughters will get married sooner or later. This kid is rather powerful and is quite infatuated with her. At least my daughter wouldn't run into any grief if she stays with him.
"Thank you, mother-in-law."
The man's peerless and beautiful features lit up with a smile while his eyes filled with banter. "Since that's the case, father-in-law, mother-in-law, would you agree if I were to take Yun'er as my wife?"
"We'll have the wedding ceremony after Shengxiao has rejoined us." Grand Lord Hong Lian then fell silent for a moment before he replied. "However, I'd like to give you one last test. If you can pass that, I won't stop you from marrying my daughter anymore."
