A talk in the secret chamber
"..." Upon hearing Mittel Tengshan's words, Ya Fei frowned slightly, then turned her head and blushed. "Elder, what do you intend for me to do?"
Mittel Tengshan smiled slightly upon hearing her words: "Mr. Qian Ye is Nine-Star Dou Zong. Only he can save our Mittel Clan now. I think you know what to do, right?"
He raised his hand and patted her shoulder. "Fei Fei, you're a smart girl. The Grand Elder has high hopes for you. I'll try my best to get him to stay for the night. Now it's up to you. 💀☜ 🐨💚"
"Whether our Mittel Clan has a future or not is entirely in your hands; it all depends on whether you can seize it."
Mittel Tengshan spoke, he turned and went back into the restaurant, leaving Ya Fei standing there blushing.
Ya Fei could remain composed in front of others, but when facing Elder Mittel Tengshan, she was still that shy little girl, not daring to be presumptuous in front of him.
Soon, Mittel Tengshan and Ya Fei returned to their seats. Qian Ye glanced at her, wondering what the Grand Elder had said to her, as she had been blushing ever since she came in.
Without overthinking it, I knew I couldn't be too proactive with this woman.
"Your Highness, Grand Preceptor, it's getting late, and returning to the palace now would be inconvenient and dangerous. I'm afraid the Mist Yun Sect might be unwilling to give up and ambush us along the way. So, why don't you stay at our manor tonight?" Mittel Tengshan suddenly said to the two with a broad smile.
It was just an excuse to keep the two of them behind to help.
He then winked at Hai Bodong, Ya Fei, and the others.
"Yes, Your Highness, Grand Preceptor, it's so late, going back now will disrupt your sleep. How about we talk about it tomorrow?" Hai Bodong replied after realizing what was going on. He naturally understood what Mittel Tengshan meant; he was afraid that Yun Shan would come in person, and keeping Qian Ye here was the best way to save his life.
Ya Fei Yanran, picked up the wine pot, and her alluring figure swayed like a snake dancing, breathtakingly beautiful. She came to Qian Ye's side, and one could smell the faint fragrance emanating from her, which stirred his heart.
But he quickly calmed his anger. As far as he was concerned, Ya Fei's looks were not enough to disturb his Daoist mind.
Ya Fei bent down, pressing her body against his back, and could feel the softness behind her.
Yet they remained unmoved.
"Your Excellency, I would like to offer you a toast." As she spoke, Ya Fei picked up her wine cup, clinked it against his, and drank it all in one gulp.
Qian Ye remained expressionless and drank it all in one gulp. However, Yao Ye, who was sitting next to him, turned her head away unhappily.
She'd never really liked Ya Fei, and now she liked her even less. "Hmph, Bu Yaolian!"
"Then I'll stay one night. 69ƧΉЦX.ᄃӨM," Qian Ye said reluctantly.
Although Yao Ye didn't want to stay, seeing that Qian Ye had already agreed, she couldn't go against his wishes and could only go along with him.
After the meal, Ya Fei personally led Qian Ye Yao Ye to the guest rooms, arranging a VIP room for each of them. Only then did the family members, including Mittel Tengshan and Hai Bodong, breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, Elders such as Mittel Tengshan and Hai Bodong gathered in the Council Hall to discuss how to deal with the wrath of the Mist Yun Sect. Yun Shan, in particular, was sure to come; with disaster looming, they could not afford to be careless.
Mist Yun Sect.
Inside the secluded chamber of Yun Shan, Yun Shan sat on a futon, resting with his eyes closed.
Sha~
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared several feet behind him.
Yun Shan frowned, then slowly opened his eyes, but didn't turn around to look behind him. "Protector Wu, you've arrived?"
"Sect Master Yun, I heard that your men returned defeated and in a very humiliating manner. Is that true?" Protector Wu asked coldly.
"You already know, why are you still asking? Do you want to see my Mist Yun Sect make a fool of itself?"
"Hehe, I just came to check on an old friend and offered to help you. I heard that the expert was invited by the royal family and defeated Elder Yun Du and others single-handedly without losing a single hair. I can't wait to see who this person is!"
At this point, Yun Shan also looked thoughtful. "Could it be that this person is Xiao Yan?"
"Xiao Yan, does he really have that much ability?" Protector Wu laughed. His laughter was full of coldness and sharpness, his voice seemed to come from the cold of hell.
As a member of the Hall of Souls, his strength is not weak. Not to mention others, just take Yun Shan for example, this Protector Wu is several stars higher than him.
Yun Shan wasn't so sure either. "It's hard to say. I haven't seen him for many years, but you know about the great battle a few years ago. Not only did he attack our Mist Yun Sect twice, but he also almost burned our Mist Yun Sect to the ground."
"If I hadn't intervened, I wouldn't have been able to suppress him. By now, the Mist Yun Sect would probably have Destruction by that brat. Inadvertently, my silly disciple Yun Yun was out training and somehow got completely fooled by him, falling head over heels in love with him. She's practically offering herself to him willingly, even giving herself away! Sigh!"
"Heh... Whose fault is this? Isn't it your own fault, you old codger? As the saying goes, a daughter is like a tree that grows up and can't be kept at home; keeping her will only breed resentment. Do you think Yun Yun is still that little disciple she was back then? Unaware of the ways of the world? She just hasn't found the man who moves her heart yet. Once she grows up, her heart will one day meet the person she desires, and the spark of love will be completely ignited within her. Once the seed of love that has been hidden in her heart sprouts, it will be beyond human control."
"Therefore, hesitation will inevitably lead to chaos. As someone who has been through this, you should know this. It's just that you overlooked this point. If you had found her a suitable husband within the sect earlier, then no matter how much she cares about her partner, wouldn't she still be a member of your Mist Yun Sect?"
"As the saying goes, 'Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders.' Those who know, keep it. I think that Pill King Gu He is quite good. Not only is his strength similar to Yun Yun's, but he is also Sixth-Tier Apothecary and an elder of your Mist Yun Sect. Moreover, I heard that Gu He has always secretly loved your disciple?"
"Protector Wu, I know about this, but my disciple isn't interested in Gu He, so I can't force her!"
"Sect Master Yun, this isn't a special time, there's no other way. Gu He is Sixth-Tier Apothecary, someone like him is very influential in the Jia Ma Empire. So, to make him obedient to you, you need to let him taste some benefits. How can he be willing to risk his life for you?"
"This matter is complicated now. As you know, last time a master named Qian Ye came to our Mist Yun Sect, he not only took Gu He away, but also my disciple Yun Yun and her disciple Nalan Yanran. So now I have nowhere to turn to borrow Gu He's strength."
"Sect Master Yun, we can consider this first. There's no rush. As the saying goes, 'He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present.' They will return one day, and you can try to salvage the situation then. Find my family members; this is the Palace Master's order. If we mess this up, neither of us will have a good ending!"
