Chapter 191 The Ceremony of Daoist Couples?

Yun Shan was filled with anger just looking at these visiting cards. He originally didn't want to pay any attention to these opportunistic fellows, but Yun Hao stopped him.

"Big Brother, you should still meet them."

Although the Yun Family had wiped out the Luo Family in one fell swoop by relying on Ye Fan's prestige, and could almost be said to be the new overlord of Lizhou City.

But this, after all, did not rely on the Yun Family themselves. If Ye Fan were to leave in the future, no one could say what the situation would develop into.

Offending all the families now was not a good thing.

Yun Shan pondered for a moment and agreed. He could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and meet with the various Family heads and Clan Chiefs.

In the past, Yun Shan and these people interacted as equals, but today these guys were like mice seeing a cat, looking submissive and not even daring to breathe too loudly.

They were all filled with righteous indignation, cursing the various evil deeds of the Luo Family and expressing that they had long wanted to join forces with the Yun Family to overthrow them.

But they hadn't expected the Yun Family to actually annihilate them with their own strength; this move was simply breathtaking.

Watching their strenuous performance, the two Yun Shan Brothers were also speechless for a while, but since things had come to this, they could only play along.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two brothers stated that the Yun Family had absolutely no intention of seeking hegemony, and what they did today was only because the Luo Family had been too overbearing, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.

Although they knew it was just polite talk, everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the Yun Family's past style, they probably wouldn't do anything too excessive.

After everyone expressed their loyalty, they looked at each other, and finally, someone tactfully made a request, hoping to meet that mysterious Cultivator who had defeated the Luo Family.

There were too many people watching that great battle from afar. Ye Fan's strength far exceeded everyone's expectations, and soon someone linked him with the recently surfaced rumors.

"The Prodigy Cultivator who swept through the major forces of Liefeng Prefecture has come to Lizhou City?!"

As soon as the news came out, the entire Canglan Prefecture couldn't sit still. Thinking of the tragedy in Liefeng Prefecture, the major forces actually felt a sense of panic, as if their days were numbered.

They didn't know Ye Fan's intention and were afraid that something similar would happen again.

After a brief moment of hesitation, the major forces actually sent people one after another to request an audience, each bringing expensive gifts, making the Yun Shan Brothers feel a bit dizzy.

The matter was of great importance, so the two didn't dare to make a decision on their own and could only come to ask for Ye Fan's opinion.

"They want to see me too?"

Ye Fan was also between laughter and tears upon hearing this. He didn't expect this matter to blow up so much that the entire Canglan Prefecture was alarmed.

Ye Fan thought for a moment and made a startling decision: accept all the gifts, but see none of the people.

When these words were spoken, both brothers were stunned, and their expressions were incredibly unsightly.

"This... would it be a bit inappropriate?"

Ye Fan could just leave, but the Yun Family couldn't.

If Ye Fan took the gifts and didn't see the people, if the major forces were angered, the Yun Family's end would probably be even more miserable than the Luo Family's.

But Ye Fan just smiled slightly and stated bluntly that they could rest assured that doing so was definitely right.

Since Ye Fan had said this much, the two brothers could only bite the bullet and agree, accepting all the gifts, but not seeing a single outsider.

They originally thought this move would infuriate everyone, but instead, they looked relieved and left one after another in high spirits.

This left the two brothers a bit dumbfounded, unable to figure out what these people were actually thinking.

Ye Fan just smiled slightly upon hearing this, stating that the major forces' move was nothing more than testing the waters; whether they saw him or not wasn't actually important.

As the saying goes, having taken from others, one's hands are shortened; having eaten others' food, one's mouth is softened. As long as Ye Fan accepted the gifts, it meant he would not cause trouble.

Only then did the two brothers suddenly realize, secretly cursing themselves for how they could have forgotten even this point.

The Yun Family held a grand banquet that day to thank Ye Fan for saving the Yun Family clan; otherwise, they definitely wouldn't have made it through this ordeal.

At the banquet, members of the Yun Family clan came forward one after another to offer toasts, and some girls were even dressed up elaborately, clearly having some other intentions.

It was fine for others, but Yun Hao, the Second Master, frowned slightly.

At first, he didn't feel anything was wrong, but now thinking about it, Ye Fan was neither a relative nor an old friend, yet he had traveled thousands of miles to come to the Yun Family.

If one were to say there was no relationship at all with Yun Li, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.

Yun Hao wanted to ask several times but didn't dare to speak, until finally, he used the influence of alcohol to inquire.

"Then... may I ask what the relationship is between Young Friend Ye and... Lier?"

As soon as Yun Hao's words came out, all the Yun Family members around pricked up their ears, clearly very concerned about this matter.

Ye Fan was slightly taken aback, then smiled: "Fellow sect siblings."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Hao was clearly a bit disappointed, while other clan members with daughters almost laughed out loud, thinking their chance had finally come.

"However, I have already promised Lier that we will become Dao Companions at next year's Dao Companion Assembly."

The originally noisy banquet instantly fell silent. Yun Hao almost jumped up from his seat upon hearing this.

Although there were still some differences between Dao Companions and a married couple, in practice, it was much the same, and many people had long since conflated the two.

Thinking that he would have a son-in-law who was invincible in the Core Formation Realm, Yun Hao was so excited he was somewhat incoherent, and immediately wanted to send someone to bring Yun Li back from Wushuang City.

The other clan members secretly stamped their feet and beat their chests, cursing why their own daughters didn't have such good fortune.

Learning that Ye Fan and Yun Li were actually in love and about to become Dao Companions, Yun Shan, the Family Head, also couldn't sit still and actually planned to hold a Dao Companion Assembly.

Although it was ostensibly for the sake of being legitimate, Ye Fan understood that they wanted to use his prestige to deter outsiders.

Previously he wouldn't have agreed to do so, but thinking that he would leave sooner or later, he still agreed.

As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Shan was overjoyed and immediately organized personnel to prepare for the Dao Companion Ceremony matters, while simultaneously sending people to Wushuang City to bring back all the clan members who had moved away.

"Young Friend Ye, please wait a moment. In three to five days at most, Lier will be able to return."

Ye Fan was finally completely at ease upon hearing this, but at the same time, he had a question.

"What kind of place is Wushuang City?"

After an explanation from Yun Shan, Ye Fan finally realized that there were so many intricacies.

It turned out that the Central Continent had long had interactions with other continents, and this history could even be traced back more than tens of thousands of years.

At that time, the Central Continent was far from being as prosperous as it is now; it was no exaggeration to say it was vast but sparsely populated.

Countless outside Cultivators came here to make a name for themselves for various reasons. Over time, settlements divided by region were formed. Wushuang City was built by people from the Southwest Continent and gradually became the settlement with the most Southwest Cultivators.

"Although Wushuang City's strength is not considered the strongest, because there is a Golden Core Realm Great Cultivator presiding over it, there is no problem with self-preservation, which is why we moved our clan members there," Yun Shan hurriedly explained.

Ye Fan nodded. He hadn't expected Wushuang City to have such an origin, thinking that with a Golden Core Realm Great Cultivator presiding over it, Yun Li's safety should not be an issue.

Who knew that just as he thought of this, a member of the Yun Family clan came hurriedly to report, and as soon as the words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

"Reporting to the Family Head... just now... we lost contact with Wushuang City..."
