"Tianshu Tower!?"

At that moment, Xuan Zhou finally came to his senses. He spun around sharply and saw Ji Xueyao, cold and immortal as a celestial being, descending from the sky. Her eyes, as deep and icy as a frigid pool, lowered toward him, making his entire body tremble in fright!

Tianshu Tower, one of the Seven Towers of Cloud Palace, was the most mysterious place in the academy.

Its previous master, Mu Tianchen, had once been the chief astronomer of the imperial court. When Great Gan had first been founded, he had served as the First Emperor's right-hand man, holding an exalted position.

Although the old master had long since retired and wandered the world, Tianshu Tower remained the foremost tower in Cloud Palace. Even the Xuan Clan would not dare provoke it lightly.

Three years ago, Ji Xueyao had suddenly brought the Tianchen Token and taken charge of Tianshu Tower, becoming its new master. With her formations reaching a level that could be called supernatural, she had made a name for herself throughout Great Gan!

The emperor had even invited her to join the Imperial Astronomical Bureau as Assistant Commissioner, but Ji Xueyao had refused.

Thus, in Cloud Palace Academy, Ji Xueyao was practically a legend, captivating countless male cultivators of Great Gan!

One reason Xuan Zhou had entered Cloud Palace was Ji Xueyao herself. He had fallen hopelessly in love with her just from seeing her statue in the academy. Now that he had finally witnessed her true self descend before him, how could he not be shocked!?

"Ma-Master Ji, wh-why are you here!?"

Only after standing there dumbfounded for a long while did Xuan Zhou finally regain his senses.

"What? You can come here, but I can't?"

Ji Xueyao let out a cold snort and descended onto the arena. The instant she saw Ye Xuan, light began to tremble wildly in her originally icy eyes!

She had waited three years for this day!

If there had not been so many people here, she would have thrown herself into his arms.

However, the current scene was completely different from what she had imagined.

Someone here had actually wanted to bully Ye Xuan!?

"Just now, you wanted to deal with Ye Xuan!?"

Ji Xueyao abruptly turned around and looked at Xuan Zhou again with her cold eyes.

"When did the rules of Cloud Palace Academy become something your Xuan Household could trample on and change at will!?"

Looking down from above, Ji Xueyao's tone was frigid.

"Master Ji, I—"

Xuan Zhou's chest heaved as he finally realized what was happening.

Could Ji Xueyao know Ye Xuan?

Why was she protecting him so fiercely?

"Hmph. I don't care what kind of chief judge you are. Tianshu Tower wants this Ye Xuan!"

Ji Xueyao's beautiful eyes swept across the square, her icy voice resounding through heaven and earth.

"From this moment onward, Ye Xuan is the direct disciple of the master of Tianshu Tower!"

Hiss!

For a moment, the entire square fell as silent as a secluded valley.

Ye Xuan had actually entered Tianshu Tower directly as a direct disciple!?

He had not even entered Cloud Palace Academy yet, and he had already been reserved a place?

And it was the most mysterious first tower of Cloud Palace Academy!

Countless young cultivators were green with envy.

"Why? Why!?"

On the Azure Mist Sect's viewing platform, the color that had only just returned to Liu Yunxi's face vanished completely once more.

Her lips trembled, and her heart was filled with tangled emotions.

Although Ye Xuan's talent and strength, now revealed, far surpassed those of three years ago and were enough to suppress the entire generation of the Barren Continent, he had offended the Xuan Clan. He still could not escape death!

As long as Ye Xuan died, her choice had been correct!

But now, the legendary master of Tianshu Tower had actually descended and wanted to take Ye Xuan as her direct disciple!?

If so, had she not been utterly foolish to abandon Ye Xuan out of fear?

At that thought, Liu Yunxi's heart stabbed with pain. Her blood surged, and she fainted once more.

"Master Ji, direct disciples need to return to—"

On the elevated platform, Xuan Zhou still wanted to speak, but Master Ji silenced him with a single glare.

"It's settled!"

Ji Xueyao truly did not want to waste any more words, so she hurried toward Ye Xuan.

However, Ye Xuan stepped down from the arena and headed straight for Chu Wan'er.

"Ye..."

Ji Xueyao frowned, unable to understand why Ye Xuan was treating her with such indifference.

But by then, Ye Xuan had already taken Chu Wan'er's hand and faced the entire square.

"Everyone, tonight, Wan'er and I will be getting married. If it is convenient for you, please come to the Violet Firmament Sect's residence and have a cup of wedding wine!"

Whoosh!

As Ye Xuan's voice fell, the entire scene erupted once more.

He had taken all three top spots at the Sect Tournament, and now he was getting married as well. Ye Xuan truly was a winner in life!

"Getting married!?"

Yet on the elevated platform, the smile on Ji Xueyao's face suddenly vanished.

Only then did she notice Chu Wan'er!

So she was not the first Imperial Daughter to get close to Ye Xuan!

But why was it the weakest of the Seven Imperial Daughters!?

Ji Xueyao took a deep breath and walked over while suppressing the unwillingness in her heart.

"Wan'er, you're quite lucky..." Ji Xueyao smiled sweetly, doing her best to appear calm.

"It's all because Brother Ye Xuan dotes on me."

Chu Wan'er tightly held Ye Xuan's large hand and met Ji Xueyao's gaze directly. There was no longer any trace of inferiority in her eyes.

"Little Sister Xueyao, you'll come to our wedding too, won't you?" she asked with another smile.

Ji Xueyao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and the delicate hand hidden in her sleeve clenched tightly.

Little sister!

Was Chu Wan'er declaring herself the principal wife!?

"Of course. I definitely will!"

Although jealousy churned in her heart, Ji Xueyao still broke into a smile.

Now was not the time to make everything clear.

"Brother Ye Xuan..."

She then looked at Ye Xuan, a trace of shyness rising on her face as her voice softened.

"It's been so long. Come have some wedding wine tonight."

But before she could finish, Ye Xuan pulled Chu Wan'er along and led the Violet Firmament Sect cultivators away from the platform.

From beginning to end, he had said only that one distant and indifferent sentence.

Yet this scene left everyone staring blankly.

What was going on!?

The number-one beauty of Cloud Palace Academy, the mysterious and aloof master of Tianshu Tower, Ji Xueyao, was actually so intimate with Ye Xuan!?

She even seemed somewhat deferential!?

Even when facing the imperial family, Ji Xueyao had never acted like this, had she?

What puzzled them even more was that Ye Xuan seemed extremely cold toward Ji Xueyao.

He had not even looked at her more than once!

Chu Wan'er was beautiful, but aside from her looks, she could not compare with Ji Xueyao in any other aspect!

What did Ye Xuan mean by looking down on Ji Xueyao so openly!?

Qi Chuan was also dumbfounded.

Although a formation had blocked the sound around Ji Xueyao earlier, he could still tell from her reaction that the person Master Ji had specifically named and instructed him to look after was actually Qi Chuan himself!

Yet he had mistaken it for Xiao Chengfeng!

Wasn't he finished now!?

Qi Chuan braced himself and came before Ji Xueyao.

"Master Ji..."

"Shut up!"

Before he could finish, Ji Xueyao's furious shout rang out.

"You even managed to ruin something this simple!?"

"Return to your residence and answer my questions!"

After saying this, Ji Xueyao turned and left.

Now, she could only suspect that Ye Xuan was dissatisfied with her because of Qi Chuan.

"Young master, what should we do now?"

Seeing everyone disperse, the old man finally spoke with a frown.

Although Ji Xueyao was also a member of the younger generation and her cultivation was only at the Myriad Manifestation Peak, her attainments in formations were extremely formidable. Even he had no absolute confidence in defeating her.

Moreover, Ji Xueyao had Mu Tianchen behind her. He did not dare make a move.

But in that case, Xuan Zhou could only swallow today's humiliation, bloodied teeth and all!

"Ji Xueyao, she's the woman I've set my sights on!"

"Ye Xuan, I, Xuan Zhou, swear that I will kill you!"

"After he gets married!"

Xuan Zhou could not endure today's humiliation, nor could he endure how much Ji Xueyao cared about Ye Xuan!

Violet Firmament Sect residence.

Su Ziyun had not been this happy in a long time.

Not only had the Violet Firmament Sect's position been preserved, but Ye Xuan had also become the unrivaled champion of all three paths in the Barren Continent.

Today was also the wedding of her beloved disciple and Ye Xuan, so after returning, she had immediately begun making preparations.

Nangong Fei and Lin Churan were also in the room, helping Chu Wan'er put on her makeup and dress her hair.

Lin Churan was Wan'er's best friend, while Nangong Fei had been thoroughly convinced by Ye Xuan and was therefore willing to help.

"Husband, you really don't need to be so harsh toward Little Sister Xueyao. At the very least, she bears you no ill will!"

Taking advantage of Lin Churan and the others' absence, Chu Wan'er hurriedly spoke.

Ye Xuan entered in a bright-red wedding robe. Hearing this, he smiled faintly. "I was only giving her a little lesson. She may not have meant any harm, but she hurt you."

"This will also let her know exactly what her status is after entering my Ye family's household!"

He naturally knew that Ji Xueyao would treat him well.

But that might not be true for Wan'er.

What he had done was also to stand up for Wan'er.

"Husband will marry Little Sister Xueyao sooner or later..." Chu Wan'er sighed.

No one could change the fact that the Seven Imperial Daughters would marry Ye Xuan.

"That's a matter for later. Today is about you and me..."

Ye Xuan pinched Chu Wan'er's fair cheek and smiled. "Let's go. The guests have all arrived."

The two of them then went downstairs.

The residence was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and it was bustling with activity.

Ye Xuan held all three championship titles, and Ji Xueyao had vouched for him. Although he had offended the Xuan Clan, he should at least not fall in the short term.

Many people had still recognized Ye Xuan's potential, so they had come to attend the feast.

Among the distinguished guests, aside from the three sects and the three regional city lords, Bai Mu and Mo Feng were naturally indispensable.

Nangong Shou was also exceptionally excited.

Ye Xuan had not only brought honor to the Northern Region, but had also multiplied his little treasury dozens of times over!

Amid everyone's congratulations, Ye Xuan was about to bow to heaven and earth with Chu Wan'er.

"Wait!"

But at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from beyond the residence!

Everyone froze.

That voice...

When they turned around, they were all instantly dumbstruck.

They saw Ji Xueyao, also wearing a phoenix crown and red wedding robes, descend into the residence.

What was this supposed to mean!?

Ye Xuan and Chu Wan'er were getting married, and Ji Xueyao had come to attend in wedding clothes?

Some Northern Region sect cultivators looked at one another, their expressions strange. Why did this scene seem so familiar?

"Brother Ye Xuan, today, you have to marry me too!"

At that moment, Ji Xueyao took a deep breath and spoke without any further reservations.

No matter what status she held in the Outer Heavens, and no matter what position she occupied now, she knew only what she wanted.

She wanted to marry Ye Xuan!

She wanted to compete with Chu Wan'er!

Boom!

To everyone present, those words were like a bolt from the blue!

Ji Xueyao was such a proud daughter of heaven, yet she had called Ye Xuan "Brother"?

And she wanted to marry Ye Xuan too!?

Had the world gone mad?

At that moment, Xuan Zhou also arrived with his people. Upon hearing those words, he was utterly dumbfounded.

Ji Xueyao was getting married?

To his sworn enemy?

"Heh heh, sure!"

But Ye Xuan merely smiled faintly.

"But you can only be my concubine!"

In an instant, the entire scene fell deathly silent!
