Preparing for the Wedding (Part One)

After speeding all the way back to his Lineage, Yang Tianyou was surprised to find that True Person Yunting and Yun Zhan were already waiting for him.

At the Purple Moon Mountain, after listening to True Person Yunting's account, Yang Tianyou, Yunhua, and Yang Haoyu all looked grim.

Yun Zhan Yun Ting, looked embarrassed and somewhat resentful. This resentment wasn't directed at Yang Tianyou and the others, but rather at that clan uncle.

Such ungratefulness! Using Yunhua's marriage as leverage, they've turned what should have been a joyous occasion into this mess.

In fact, True Person Yun Hai also had his own plans in mind.

In his view, even if it were a marriage alliance with the Yang Household, it would be Yun Ting's lineage that would benefit, so what did it have to do with Yun Hai?

On the contrary, after leaving the Nascent Soul Formation Pill with the Yun Household, I would have half of the control over it.

If he even tried hard enough, given True Person Yunting's gentle temperament, he might very well be able to get his hands on the Nascent Soul Formation Pill if he persisted.

In this way, True Person Yun Hai would have the hope of nurturing the Yun Household Junior who are close to him into new Nascent Soul Cultivators.

In that case, wouldn't his status in the Lineage definitely surpass Yun Ting's?

With a higher status comes more resources at his disposal, and naturally, his Dao Path becomes smoother. Perhaps he can even catch a glimpse of the Spirit Transformation realm.

It must be said that, from True Person Yun Hai's perspective, this idea does make some sense.

However, this person forgot the importance of Lineage.

Or rather, in his mind, the overall interests of the Yun Household should give way to the interests of his own branch.

This is precisely the root cause of his long-standing discord with True Person Yunting.

True Person Yunting is a generous and upright person.

In all his actions, he always prioritizes the interests of his Lineage and sect, demonstrating a broad and magnanimous vision far superior to that of someone as short-sighted and narrow-minded True Person Yun Hai.

However, most people in the world are driven by profit, and those Cultivators are no exception.

Yun Hai and True Person Yunting were both Nascent Soul Cultivators. In addition, the former was good at using benefits to win people's hearts. Over time, five or six tenths of the Yun Household members supported True Person Yun Hai.

However, these people have forgotten who it was after Zhen Leizi's death who devoted himself wholeheartedly to preserving and developing the Lineage.

The fact that the Yun Household was able to recover some of its Origin Qi and emerge from its decline in just thirty years is truly thanks to True Person Yunting.

However, not many members of the Yun Household can see this.

Or perhaps, many people have noticed this, but don't care.

As long as their own interests are protected, Lineage should take a back seat; this is the mindset of many Yun Household.

In fact, this is also the current situation for those who rely on large sects and Lineage, a major drawback.

These Lineage, though seemingly stronger, lack cohesion compared to independent Lineage, and are prone to scattering like birds and beasts when faced with a crisis.

The reason is simple, and many people think this way: we have a sect behind us, so even if our Lineage fall apart, it doesn't matter, as long as the sect doesn't collapse.

This is precisely why major sects like Luochuan Sect allow Lineage like the Yun Household and Song Household families to exist.

That said, faced with True Person Yun Hai's unreasonable demands, the Yang Household Member had no choice but to reluctantly comply.

What else can we do?

The bride's family disagreed, so the wedding couldn't take place at all.

If we force the event to proceed, what will we do if True Person Yun Hai brings his Lineage to cause trouble?

Regardless of how it ultimately ends, the Yang Household will lose face, and it will cast a shadow over Yang Tianyou and Yunhua's wedding that can never be washed away.

Yunhua lowered her eyes, suppressing her anger, and said coldly, "The Nascent Soul Formation Pill can be given to him, but it must be one of the Betrothal Gifts from the Yang Household. Also, the only elder from the Yun Household attending the wedding must be Uncle Yun Ting; he cannot attend!"

Upon hearing this, True Person Yunting wished he could cover his face with his sleeve.

For the Yun Household to have their own daughters ask for Betrothal Gifts money was a huge loss of face.

However, Yunhua had to speak first to say this.

This was, after all, one of the legacies left by her grandfather, and even Yang Tianyou couldn't just dispose of it at will before marrying her.

Yang Tianyou looked at Yunhua, who was looking somewhat sad, and gently took her slightly cold little hand in his palm to show his support.

"Yunhua, in the end, it is the Lineage that has wronged you in this matter. Do not resent the Lineage. If you must blame someone, blame me. It was I who could not control Yun Hai, which is why he caused this trouble!" True Person Yunting sighed, his eyes filled with complex and unfathomable emotions.

He felt somewhat dejected and couldn't help but question whether his previous sacrifices for the Lineage had been worthwhile.

When the crucial moment arrived, surprisingly few Yun Household stood behind him; instead, they all supported Yun Hai.

Seeing his uncle's expression, Yunhua couldn't help but sigh softly.

How could she not understand the character of True Person Yunting?

Naturally, he knew that Yun Hai's actions had probably broken the former's heart.

Recalling the kindness her uncle had shown her in her youth, Yunhua's heart softened, and she comforted him, "Uncle, don't be sad. One day, the people in the Lineage will remember your kindness and regret supporting Yun Hai's reckless behavior."

"Perhaps!"

True Person Yunting sighed, and without further pleasantries, he led Yun Zhan away from Purple Moon Mountain.

Yang Tianyou and Yunhua stood side by side on the mountaintop, watching the Blue-Purple Escape Light slowly disappear into the distance, their expressions cold and aloof.

"I never expected that this would happen so close to my wedding," Yunhua sighed softly.

"Good things often come with difficulties. Besides, it's just a Nascent Soul Formation Pill. If True Person Yun Hai wants it, just give it to him."

"Our gains in the Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm alone far exceed what a Nascent Soul Formation Pill can provide. He'll have his day to cry later!" Yang Tianyou smiled faintly, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes.
