622: Fool and Elopement

Having almost lost their lives and taken such a great risk, wouldn't it be a huge loss if they didn't gain any benefit?

The Young Masters thought, looking enviously at the calm-faced Jiajun.

They also wished for such treatment, but a young Junior could actually cause a Dao Monarch Old Ancestor to personally appear.

With this move, even if Jiajun refused, it wouldn't matter.

The Xuanhuang Dao Monarch's action naturally brought Jiajun and Fairy Gui Yi closer.

After the others agreed,

Fairy Gui Yi looked at Jiajun with a hint of anticipation.

“Alright.”

After pondering for a moment, Jiajun nodded and agreed.

Befriending Fairy Gui Yi would be beneficial for both her and the Family.

“In that case, Gui Yi thanks you in advance.”

Fairy Gui Yi's eyes lit up slightly, and she bowed to the others.

“The Old Ancestor has arrived.”

“Two young Fellow Daoists…”

At this moment, Attendant Mo Yin's heart stirred, and he spoke.

“Gui Yi takes her leave.”

Beneath her veil, Gui Yi's face held an apologetic expression, and her cool, water-like eyes cast one last glance at where Jiajun was, then she led the others behind her and Qi Yuan's group, following the two Attendants out of the Hall of Combat.

“Big Brother, Fairy Gui Yi treats you differently from the others.”

At some point, the round-bodied Zhou Jiayong had sidled up to Jiajun, speaking mysteriously into her ear.

“Could it be she’s taken a liking to Big Brother?”

Zhou Jiayong's eyes widened, and he looked in the direction where Fairy Gui Yi and her group had departed.

“Zhou Jiayong, I think your skin is itching again?”

Jiajun gave Zhou Jiayong an annoyed glare.

Within her gaze, a dangerous glint gradually spread.

“Cough~”

“Big Brother, don’t you think the Old Ancestor was just too cool?”

Zhou Jiayong shrunk his neck, coughed lightly, and quickly changed the subject, his eyes filled with longing.

“Hmph, do you even need to think that?”

Jiajun subconsciously retorted, then ignored Zhou Jiayong.

Several days later.

Outside the mysterious light/aura of the Flowing Light Sand Realm.

Young figures flew out one after another.

Flying in various directions.

The Tingying Assembly had encountered such an unexpected turn of events this time, so it ended much earlier than previous sessions.

Zhou Jiayong followed behind Jiajun, riding his escaping light, and flew out from within the mysterious light/aura.

“Hehe, Big Brother, I won’t disturb you anymore, I’ll be off…”

Zhou Jiayong chuckled, but before he could finish his sentence, he was about to slip away. He was a seabird of the Chaotic Sea, born to roam the vast ocean, he thought, preparing to find his good friends to brag to them and broaden their horizons, when a slender, chilling hand gripped his neck.

“Uncle Ting specifically instructed me earlier that your Cultivate progress has been slacking, and he wants me to supervise you properly.”

Jiajun looked at Zhou Jiayong, who was eager to escape, with a half-smile.

“Haha, this, there’s no need for that…”

Zhou Jiayong’s smile stiffened. He didn't want to become a seabird with broken wings.

“That’s not up to you. Unless you can defeat me, otherwise, you'd better honestly come with me.”

Jiajun raised an eyebrow and gave Zhou Jiayong an encouraging look.

“Big Brother…”

Zhou Jiayong's face fell. Although he did hide some of his strength, he was still no match for his Elder Sister.

After all, Elder Sister had outstanding talent, was older than him, and was also a Cultivate maniac.

No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't endure it.

“Then stop talking nonsense, let’s go.”

Jiajun moved, taking Zhou Jiayong away from the Flowing Light Sand Realm.

In the center of the Flowing Light Sand Realm, inside the Hall of Gathering Heroes.

After all the young Geniuses had departed.

Two figures then walked out of the Hall of Gathering Heroes.

“Hua Ying.”

Zhou Chuanting, feeling a little anxious, suddenly paused and looked solemnly at the beautiful woman with bare feet and a red dress beside him.

“What are you doing? You scared me.”

Princess Hua Ying was immersed in the sorrow of parting, but she was startled by Zhou Chuanting's sudden words, completely disrupting her farewell mood. Princess Hua Ying gave Zhou Chuanting an annoyed glare.

“That…”

Zhou Chuanting's face flushed with embarrassment. With that look, most of his original anxiety dissipated.

“Sigh…”

Princess Hua Ying withdrew her annoyed gaze, but she sighed softly in her heart.

The man beside her was good in every way, except he was too proper, too honest.

Ever since they made the five-year agreement, he truly waited five years to see her again, never thinking of actively seeking her out.

If she hadn't taken the initiative, how could their relationship have developed to this point?

“It’s difficult…”

Princess Hua Ying sighed softly in her heart. She had long heard that the Qingyang Zhou Clan had an excellent Family style, and she had now experienced it.

It was just a bit too good.

She had also heard that the Disciples of the Qingyang Zhou Clan were usually slow to catch on, and she had now experienced that too.

“That… after I return to the Family this time, I will ask the Clan Chief to propose marriage to the Monarch.”

Zhou Chuanting looked at the somewhat troubled Princess Hua Ying, hardened his heart, and blurted out everything he wanted to say.

Boom!

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Princess Hua Ying's mind.

Princess Hua Ying turned her head blankly to look at Zhou Chuanting.

“Are you, are you telling the truth?”

“Chuan Ting never lies!”

Especially not to you… Zhou Chuanting’s expression was serious, but the latter half of the sentence remained in his heart and was not spoken aloud.

“You, I, you…”

Princess Hua Ying's heart was in turmoil. How could he suddenly become enlightened today, startling her thoughts into disarray?

“A few days ago, both your Old Ancestor and my Old Ancestor appeared. Our matter must have already been known by the two Old Ancestors.”

“But they didn't say anything, which clearly means it has passed the Old Ancestor’s approval.”

“The timing is just right.”

Zhou Chuanting explained earnestly, while thinking to himself that this time was too dangerous. If the Old Ancestor hadn't intervened, they would probably have been buried here forever, with no chance to bring up this matter again.

Upon hearing this, Princess Hua Ying's chaotic thoughts calmed down a bit, and she gave Zhou Chuanting a helpless glance.

How could a Dao Monarch Old Ancestor care about their trivial romantic affairs?

“Then, if this incident hadn’t happened, when were you planning to propose marriage?”

Princess Hua Ying tilted her head, and words with a somewhat unclear meaning came out as she slowly stepped forward.

Zhou Chuanting was stunned. How could a girl's thoughts jump so quickly?

“I had already thought it through. Even if this incident hadn't happened, I would still ask the Clan Chief to propose marriage. If the Monarch disagreed, I would… I would…”

Zhou Chuanting chased after the red-robed figure ahead.

“You would what?”

At this moment, the beautiful woman with bare feet and a red dress turned her head, her eyes curved, as if stars were twinkling within them.

Princess Hua Ying

“I would plan to elope with you…”

Zhou Chuanting’s lips moved, but his voice grew softer and softer.

“Hehe, only a fool would elope with you.”

The beautiful woman who had turned around chuckled.

Zhou Chuanting’s expression suddenly froze.

“It’s a pity I am that fool…”
