Su Chen asked helplessly, "Can I refuse?"
Qin An smiled. "What do you think?"
"Sigh~"
Su Chen sighed, turned to look at Ye Ningshuang, and said calmly, "Let's go."
Ye Ningshuang nodded, then looked at the old man, "I'll go for a walk with Young Master Su, you wait here."
Upon hearing this, the old man appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was completely distraught.
Miss!
There are two Immortal Emperor here!
How embarrassing would it be if you left me here all alone?
The old man was on the verge of tears, but still forced a smile. "Miss... leaving me here alone, isn't that... inappropriate?"
Ye Ningshuang frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. "Why not?"
The old man said, "I..."
Ye Ningshuang suddenly said, "Alright, stop talking. Just stay here and wait for me."
Before the old man could speak, Ye Ningshuang stood up and walked to Su Chen, smiling slightly, "Let's go."
Su Chen glanced at the old man, then nodded, and then walked out of the main hall with Ye Ningshuang.
The old man was devastated, but Ye Ningshuang made him stay there, so even in his despair, there was nothing she could do.
Qin An looked at the old man and smiled, "I wonder how Sect Master Ye has been doing lately?"
Upon hearing this, the old man trembled and quickly replied respectfully, "The sect leader is doing well."
As he spoke, beads of cold sweat streamed down his face, showing just how nervous he was.
He was genuinely afraid of the two Immortal Emperor!
But there's nothing we can do about it; we have to face it even if we're afraid!
Now he can only pray that Ye Ningshuang will come back soon, otherwise he really can't hold on!
Su Chen and Ye Ningshuang strolled slowly along a quiet path. dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating patches of golden light. Wildflowers swayed gently in the breeze, filling the air with their delicate fragrance.
Su Chen walked with his hands behind his back, his steps steady and elegant, his figure tall and upright. His high, straight nose was exquisitely sculpted, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, exuding a kind of charm. A gentle breeze blew by, causing his white robes to flutter, adding a touch of dashing and unrestrained elegance.
Ye Ningshuang secretly glanced at Su Chen's profile, her heart pounding like a deer's. A Hong Yun crept onto her cheeks.
Su Chen glanced at Ye Ningshuang and smiled, "What's wrong?"
Ye Ningshuang snapped out of her daze, her face instantly turning bright red. She stammered, "N-nothing... it's nothing."
Su Chen nodded. "That's good."
Ye Ningshuang took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. Once she had calmed down a bit, she asked, "Don't you want to take me out for a walk?"
Su Chen countered, "Why do you say that?"
Ye Ningshuang said, "I heard everything you just said to your mother."
Su Chen shook his head and smiled, "I really don't want to be with you."
A hint of sadness flickered in Ye Ningshuang's eyes, but she still asked, "Why?"
Su Chen stopped and turned to look at Ye Ningshuang, calmly saying, "Because I don't want to marry you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ningshuang froze on the spot, her hands falling limply to her sides, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white from the excessive force.
Why...?
Why am I feeling so bad?
He doesn't want to marry me, shouldn't I be happy?
But why do I feel so bad?
Could it be... that I've fallen for him?
No!
impossible!
Why do I like him?
But what about the sadness in my heart?
Ye Ningshuang bit her lip hard, her eyes filled with resentment. After a long silence, she asked, "Why don't you want to marry me?"
Su Chen said calmly, "This is our first meeting, and our emotional foundation is weak. I have no feelings for you either, and I believe Miss Ye wouldn't want to marry someone she's only met once."
Ye Ningshuang suddenly took a step forward, looked up into Su Chen's eyes, and said stubbornly, "No! I want to!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen frowned slightly.
Is this girl out of her mind?
wrong!
Could she have fallen in love with me at first sight?
Judging from the look in this girl's eyes, it might actually be true!
Ouch!
Behold my irresistible charm!
This is so annoying!
system:"..."
Su Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to get married yet."
Ye Ningshuang stared intently at Su Chen, "Then you can get married when you want to, I'm not in a hurry."
Su Chen covered his forehead with his hand, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Snort!"
Ye Ningshuang snorted lightly, "Anyway, I will absolutely not agree to annul the engagement."
Su Chen shrugged. "That's not up to you."
Ye Ningshuang's lips curled up. "I think your mother would really like you and me to marry, wouldn't she?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen's face darkened. "What do you want to do?"
Ye Ningshuang smiled and said, "I don't want to do anything, I just want to come and keep your mother company more often in the future. Okay, I'm going to go keep your mother company now."
A smile appeared on Ye Ningshuang's face, then she turned and walked towards the main hall.
Watching Ye Ningshuang's retreating figure, Su Chen sighed deeply.
He knew that the engagement was off the table.
Although Qin An agreed to his annulment of the engagement, if Ye Ningshuang deliberately cultivates a good relationship with Qin An, will Qin An still agree to Su Chen's annulment?
Obviously, they will not agree.
Su Chen was truly impressed.
What was Ye Ningshuang thinking?
I fell for him at first sight.
Oh shit!
This damn charm!
So annoying!
system:"..."
Su Chen sighed inwardly, then said, "Wait a moment."
Ye Ningshuang paused, a slight smile playing on her lips, then turned to look at Su Chen, asking in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Su Chen calmly said, "I can keep the engagement, but you have to agree to one condition. If you don't, even if you manage to get on good terms with my mother, I will absolutely not agree to the marriage."
Ye Ningshuang looked at Su Chen, "You speak."
Su Chen said, "Marriage is possible, but only if I decide to marry. As for how long, it could be ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years."
Without hesitation, Ye Ningshuang nodded and said, "Okay."
A hint of surprise flashed in Su Chen's eyes, "So agreeable?"
Ye Ningshuang shook her head and smiled, "Because I don't want to get married right now, and I just thought about it, and you're right, we don't have any emotional foundation, so we need time to cultivate our feelings."
Su Chen nodded. "Let me show you around some more. Otherwise, my mother will definitely be unhappy if we go back so soon."
Ye Ningshuang smiled slightly, "Okay."
Afterwards, Su Chen took Ye Ningshuang Shuang for a walk around, and the two chatted a lot during that time.
Ye Ningshuang gradually developed a lot of goodwill towards Su Chen.
Her only question was: how strong was Su Chen?
What level of attainment is it exactly?
How much weaker is he than her?
Anyway, she never thought Su Chen was stronger than her.
After all, Ye Ningshuang's cultivation level was the Immortal Venerable Realm Sixth Layer.
