"The wedding night?"
"Yeah."
Looking at Nangong Yue before him, Ye Lin was utterly baffled.
This was the dream goddess of countless prodigies in the Central Region?
She was this casual?
"What? You unwilling?"
As she looked at Ye Lin, Nangong Yue's gaze began to turn dangerous.
"I'm unwilling."
"I was never satisfied with this marriage arrangement to begin with."
Ye Lin shook his head, his tone firm.
"Why?"
"Is my talent lacking?"
"No."
"Am I not beautiful enough?"
"No."
"Am I not worthy of you?"
"That's not it either."
"Then why?"
Facing Nangong Yue's relentless questioning, Ye Lin slowly turned around.
"In my heart, there is only the Great Dao."
"I am wholly devoted to the Dao. I touch nothing else."
"You should go back."
With his hands behind his back, Ye Lin spoke blandly.
His heart was wholly set on the Dao.
From the beginning of his journey until now, he had never wavered in that.
His Dao heart was unbreakable; nothing and no one could shake it.
"Oh, then I understand what you mean."
"Don't worry. This bond isn't something you can refuse just because you want to."
"The red thread has already been tied. You cannot cut it."
Nangong Yue left. Before departing, she said a whole string of baffling words.
"I'm leaving."
"My future... Dao companion."
The next moment, Nangong Yue's figure vanished.
Ye Lin stood where he was, his brows tightly furrowed.
What had she meant by all that just now?
Couldn't cut it?
The red thread had already been tied?
What red thread?
Still, Nangong Yue leaving just like that did surprise Ye Lin.
He hadn't expected her to be so easily persuaded.
Very good.
At that moment, Ye Lin finally set his mind at ease.
No matter how things ended, for now
