Chapter 182: Proposing Marriage?

An Yuyi saw that Ye Chen was ignoring her. She could only leave in frustration. In the following days, An Yuyi came to find Ye Chen every day.

However, Ye Chen didn’t even bother to open the door. This made An Yuyi more and more dissatisfied. Even if Ye Chen was angry, she thought, I’ve lowered myself so much to apologize, and yet you still won’t forgive me?

This is too much!

An Yuyi angrily returned to the sect. At this moment, her aunt, An Miaoli, was sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop, surrounded by mist, as if in a dream. When her aunt finished her cultivation, An Yuyi quickly ran over and vented about what had happened to her.

Hearing this, An Miaoli calmly spoke, “It’s normal for Ye Chen to be angry. After all, he’s done so much for you, only to be threatened by you. Any cultivator would be furious in his place.”

But An Yuyi frowned and spoke, “Aunt, I admit that I was wrong! But doesn’t Ye Chen have any fault in this? If he had just been honest from the start, how would there have been so many misunderstandings? And I’ve already gone to apologize several times, but he won’t even see me. Isn’t that a bit too much?”

Even An Miaoli’s pupils couldn’t help but shrink at her words. She couldn’t help but feel that she had truly spoiled her niece.

An Miaoli fell silent. She began to think about how to temper her niece’s character.

Seeing that her aunt wasn’t speaking, An Yuyi immediately leaned closer. “Aunt, please help me! I’ve thought it over carefully, and Ye Chen actually seems like a very good fit to be my dao partner. If Ye Chen only had strength, but couldn’t protect me without regret or support me, that wouldn’t work. And if Ye Chen only loved me but didn’t have any power, that wouldn’t work either.

“But now, Ye Chen’s strength is extraordinary. Even if I selected from among the direct disciples of my Divine Will Sect, there would be no one who could match him. His appearance and temperament are also quite good. If I marry Ye Chen as my dao partner, then when we go to the secret realm five years from now to compete for the Phoenix Blood, with Ye Chen by my side, who would dare to compete with me?”

An Yuyi, thinking about marrying Ye Chen as her dao partner, couldn’t help but smile joyfully.

An Miaoli, upon hearing this, was thoroughly stunned. “How do you know that Ye Chen would be willing to marry you as his dao partner?”

An Miaoli felt that, even if Ye Chen didn’t hate her niece, they would definitely be strangers in the future!

An Yuyi immediately smiled. “Aunt, you only understand cultivation, not love and affection. Ye Chen has already sacrificed so much for me, which shows that he loves me. And now, seeing how angry he is, even seeking other female cultivators to provoke me, only proves that he still loves me. After all, if he really didn’t care, he would just ignore me. But Ye Chen clearly cares too much, which is why he’s trying everything to anger me…”

An Miaoli: “…”

Her niece’s reasoning seemed somewhat plausible. But for some reason, it still felt a bit off.

Still, An Miaoli couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you asking me to help you with something like this? What can I do to help you?”

An Yuyi immediately responded, as if it were a matter of course. “Every time Ye Chen saw you, he was always very respectful toward you. I go, and Ye Chen won’t see me. But when you go, Ye Chen will definitely meet with you. All you have to do is persuade Ye Chen, tell him that I’ve already acknowledged my mistake, and give him a way out. He’ll definitely stop being angry.”

An Miaoli’s brows furrowed deeply. She had always disliked being involved in mundane affairs. Despite being the Grand Elder, she had delegated much of her authority to the other elders. And now, her niece, An Yuyi, was asking her to act as a mediator?

An Miaoli was genuinely displeased.
