Yun Yun usually had an extremely calm and indifferent personality.
No ordinary event could sway her emotions ....even in the face of a brutal massacre, she would simply watch with her serene eyes.
But now, Ye Chen stood before her completely unharmed.
The moment Yun Yun learned that Jia Xingtian had previously intercepted Ye Chen and attempted to kill him, her calm exterior shattered.
Rage and murderous intent surged through her, filling her entire being.
Ye Chen understood clearly ..... it was her care for him that made her react so violently.
"How dare the royal family treat you this way? Do they think Yunlan Sect is easy to bully?"
Yun Yun ground her teeth, each word restrained but sharp with anger and lethal intent.
Seeing her like this, Ye Chen quickly spoke to calm her:
"Teacher, don't be anxious. Nothing really happened to me, see?"
"Ye Chen, tell me ..... how did you escape Jia Xingtian's hands?
Is your marriage to the princess connected to some deal with the royal family?"
Her eyes narrowed, forcing herself to remain calm as she questioned him.
"Teacher, I'll tell you the truth.
Behind me are stronger forces than Jia Xingtian ..... he could never threaten me!
This inheritance of the Jia Ma Empire throne… it was a condition I proposed to him.
Marrying the princess? That, too, was my wish, and they simply followed it."
"Everything… was your arrangement?"
Yun Yun was stunned.
She never expected her disciple to have grown so powerful ..... even the royal family had been forced to hand over the throne.
"Ye Chen… you've changed so much…"
She sighed, then hesitated before asking:
"The powerful figure you mentioned ..... the 7th-tier alchemist who helped you refine the Purple Crystal Pill, was it them?"
"Not entirely. There are others as well," Ye Chen replied with a shake of his head.
"Ye Chen, I'm truly glad to see your achievements.
The royal family wronged you, so seizing their throne is justified.
But… why marry the princess too?
And at the same time, marrying two wives?"
Her gaze flicked briefly toward Nalan Yanran.
"If you do this, what will Yanran think?"
"Teacher, don't worry. Yanran fully supports me!"
Ye Chen smiled proudly.
"She even said I'm a responsible man .... a husband with a sense of duty!"
"Yanran really thinks that?"
Yun Yun blinked in surprise.
If even Nalan Yanran didn't mind Ye Chen marrying another, then Yun Yun had no reason to interfere.
"Of course…"
Ye Chen nodded, glancing behind him.
"Look, Teacher .....see how well they get along?"
Following his gaze, Yun Yun saw Nalan Yanran and Ya Fei, both heavily pregnant, leaning in to chat quietly like the closest of friends.
"Fine. Since you can manage their relationship so well, you may marry whoever you wish.
I won't interfere."
Yun Yun sighed, withdrawing her gaze.
"Teacher… really, I can marry anyone?"
Ye Chen asked, excitement in his voice.
Yun Yun's brows furrowed slightly.
"You still want to marry someone else? Is there a girl outside who hasn't been publicly acknowledged?"
"Teacher, you said I could marry whoever I wanted ....now you're reacting like this…
so you really do care, huh?"
Ye Chen fell silent for a moment, feeling conflicted.
Soon, Yun Yun herself might show signs of pregnancy, and as Sect Master without marriage, she could face gossip, embarrassment, and even pressure to step down.
"Ahh…"
Seeing Ye Chen's troubled expression, Yun Yun felt a pang of pity.
She placed a jade hand on his shoulder.
"Ye Chen… you've grown up. Many things I cannot control.
If there really are other women in your life, then take responsibility.
Give them proper status ..... don't let them suffer."
"Of course! I could never let Teacher suffer!"
Feeling the warmth of her hand and the faint fragrance, Ye Chen's resolve strengthened.
Then, he lifted his gaze, locking eyes with Yun Yun.
His expression turned serious.
"Teacher… the one I truly want to marry… is you."
At these words, Yun Yun's body trembled.
Ye Chen's declaration was completely unexpected .... a shock like electricity running through her.
You… insolent disciple! How dare you say such blasphemous words to your teacher?"
Recovering her composure, Yun Yun's face turned cold.
Her hand rose, surging with immense Dou Qi.
But just as it was about to strike, she stopped ..... hovering in midair.
She simply could not bring herself to harm her precious disciple.
