Chapter 51: When your hair grows down to your waist, I'll come and marry you, how about that?

  At the banquet to wash away the dust, Wu Yeru was exceptionally happy, although he wasn't the main character this time. With his personality, he was delighted that no one paid attention to him, and he could be free and unrestrained. Wu Yeru hid in an inconspicuous corner, eating with gusto, his mouth overflowing with oil, feeling extremely pleased. When there was nothing to do, he would maliciously speculate about the psychology of the crowd, measuring the relationships between each other.

  Just as Wu Yuer was indulging in food and drink, at this moment of abandon, a gentle yet firm voice came from beside him, melodious and clear, making it easy for people to feel good.

  "This is Wu Jia's fourth young master, Ye Yu, who has returned with the team after undergoing rigorous training. As soon as he arrived, he heard that Xi Yue was attacked and fortunately rescued by Ye Yu. He is extremely grateful for this. Moreover, whether it is Xi Yue or Yu Shu, they all admire Ye Yu greatly, so I have come to see him in person."

  After hearing the sound, Wu Yeyu was startled. "How could I not have noticed at all? Someone has come to my front without making a sound, is it because I was too focused?" Thinking about it, she looked down at the messy roasted lamb leg in her hand and the disorganized tableware, and secretly confirmed it in her heart.

  As soon as he turned his head, he saw Wen Yuxuan, the young lady of the Wen family, smiling brightly at him with a radiant smile, waiting for his response. Her hand was still holding onto Wen Xiumei, who had a blush on her face and was hiding behind her younger sister, occasionally stealing glances at him while looking around elsewhere.

  "Brilliant!" Wu Yeyu silently praised in his heart.

  He immediately threw away the lamb leg in his hand, stood up with a flick of his sleeve, and bowed slightly to Miss Wen, saying, "Miss Wen is too polite. I and Xi Yue... um..." He was about to say something, but turned his head and thought that he didn't know if Old Yu had told Miss Wen about the engagement, so he changed his words and said, "I and Xi Yue get along well, protecting her is a matter of course, why should we talk about gratitude? Moreover, I am just an inexperienced young man, and it's even more impossible to talk about elegance. It was actually my previous actions that were too abrupt."

  As soon as the words came out, Wu Yeyu suddenly felt that his whole body was not working well, feeling uncomfortable to death, thinking why can't I be so elegant, tired! Uncomfortable!

  "Hehehe!" Just now, Wen Yuyan, who was still elegant and poised, covered her mouth and giggled, exuding a charming and flirtatious air.

  "Hehehe! How about it, Auntie? I told you, Wu Ye Yu is quite interesting! Being with him doesn't feel boring at all! Hehehe~" Wen Xue Yue said with a smile to Wen Yu Yan. Then she took out a delicate handkerchief from her pocket and gently wiped away the greasy stain on Wu Ye Yu's mouth corner, her eyes shining with amusement.

  "Huh? What's going on here?" Wu Yeyu was somewhat at a loss, couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and pointed to the seat next to him. "If you two don't mind, please sit down. Although this place is a bit out of the way, it's quiet and peaceful, not many people come back to disturb us." After finishing speaking, he smiled and revealed a front tooth with a stuck vegetable leaf.

  The two women burst into another fit of gentle laughter, then elegantly sat down. Wu Ye Yu carefully found two cups and poured them some fruit juice, which she had exchanged with her energy points. The taste was really good and the price was reasonable too. Before this, Wen Xue Yue had been quite fond of drinking this.

  "Since I came back, I've been hearing about Ye Yu's various exploits from Xi Yue. Just now, I finally met her, and indeed she's not ordinary. It seems that although Xi Yue has been fleeing in difficulty these past few days, it must have been a thrilling experience with Ye Yu by her side. As for me, I'm at ease knowing Ye Yu is taking care of her." Wen Yu Xian sat down in front of herself, and little Luo Li moved a bit further away from her.

  "Hehe, where, where, Miss Wen's arrival in Qing Shui Town is naturally an honor for my Wu family. Ensuring Xi Yue's safety is also a matter of course. As a member of the Wu family, I must take good care of her." Wu Ye Yu suddenly felt that something was off, with an ominous feeling spreading around him, slowly enveloping him.

  "Oh? Haha, that night rain really made me look at you in a different light. But I don't know how Night Rain suddenly gave our Wen family such a large amount of precious Di Ming Jing. This thing is extremely valuable, even if it's our Wen family who has been collecting it with great difficulty for many years, we only have a little bit. The ones you gave us are more than what we have collected. If we were to sell them at market price, even we wouldn't be able to afford it." Wen Yuexian said with a hint of teasing as she looked at Wu Yeru, Xi Yue's face stiffened, just about to say something when she was pulled back by Wen Yuexian.

  "Isn't that stuff good? Such precious supplies, I'm sure the Wen family would love to get their hands on them." Wu Yeyu replied perfunctorily.

  "Huh? What do you mean, are you threatening me or just trying to tease me? But one thing is certain, Old Yu must have already told Miss Wen about the marriage proposal. Geez, can't you be more straightforward?! Isn't this something that should be reported to the master and handled personally?! Wu Ye's forehead was sweating, although he couldn't tell what attitude the other person had, but just looking at the situation in front of him was already making him uncomfortable. Can't you just say what you want to say directly?!"

  Wu Yeyu took out the handkerchief from her bosom and wiped her face, hmm, this was still a gift from Xueyue... She adjusted her attitude, straightened her waist, exhaled slightly, and then her gaze also calmed down.

  "Hehe, of course I wouldn't give such a large sum of money to the Wen family for no reason. Except for one piece that was sold at market price to the Wen family, the rest all have other plans." Wu Ye Yu said, elegantly picking up her juice and taking a sip, then putting it down with an air of pretentiousness, winking at Wen Xue Yue, who immediately blushed and lowered her head.

  These were naturally seen in the eyes of Miss Wen's family, but they didn't say much either.

  "Oh? So it wasn't all sold to the Wen family, that's strange. I think even if the Wen family couldn't come up with so many goods at once, but with their accumulated wealth and resources over the years, as well as the many talented people under their control, they shouldn't be underestimated. Moreover, they have connections with other prominent families. As for other things, I won't mention them, but some precious cultivation manuals and elixirs, as well as valuable materials, should still be available. Night Rain, if you have any requests, just let me know."

  Wen Yu Yan looked at Wu Ye Yu, who was only around ten years old, and felt a pang of sympathy in her heart. Despite this, she still spoke out, hoping he would retreat in the face of difficulty. However, deep down, she also had some hope, wishing to see a different outcome.

  Wu Yeyu's heart sank, although he had long expected this to happen, but didn't think it would come so soon, so soon that he didn't even have time to prepare himself. "Well, I'll just have to grit my teeth and go through with it!"

  Wu Ye Yu smiled slightly, "Wealth and material possessions are external things. Although I'm just a young master from a rural family, my daily needs are met. As for cultivation techniques and medicinal pills, don't worry about it, Miss Wen. It's not easy to obtain these things, but it's not something that can stump me either. In fact, I have more than enough. What I'm seeking is something else."

  "Hmm?" Wen Yutian raised an eyebrow, her bright and beautiful eyes revealing a questioning expression, as if they were a pair of speaking eyes that conveyed their meaning at a glance.

  "I'm curious, Night Rain, do you know that although our clan's territory is vast and rich in resources, with countless methods to obtain them, after all these years of excavation, many things on the surface have been almost depleted, or already belong to someone. Of course, there are still many hidden ones, but it's extremely difficult to get them. Night Rain, have you really thought this through? Don't we need those materials to exchange for cultivation resources? The things my family has brought out are extremely precious, the kind of thing cultivators dream of. Our returns will be very generous." Wen Yuexian said seriously to Wu Night Rain.

  "Of course! I'm sure Miss Wen has already known about it, Yuye is going to use that batch of goods as betrothal gifts. When Xiuyue and I come of age, I will formally marry her into the Wu family!"

  Wu Ye Yu didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, feeling that if he continued to do so, he might end up confusing himself as well. He knew he wasn't good at playing mind games and would definitely lose to Wen Xiaoyu in front of him. Although this wasn't really a mind game, it was just a matter of speaking style, but this way of speaking made Wu Ye Yu very uncomfortable.

  Her heart sank, but she also felt a hint of comfort. "Well, that's not easy to handle," she said. "As the top family in the Great Xia Empire, and Xue Yue being the most promising young princess of our family, whether it's looks, talent, or cultivation potential, she's one of the best in this generation. Many families want to form an alliance with us through marriage, but because of Father's doting, we haven't arranged any engagements from a young age. Even so, her marriage is not something to be taken lightly and will require careful selection. Besides...with your family background, I'm afraid the chances are slim." She stared at the young man in front of her, waiting for Wu Ye Yu's response.

  "Oh? Does Sister Yu Yan think the betrothal gift I brought is enough?" Wu Ye Yu said.

  "Eh, the betrothal gift is enough and it's hard to refuse, however..." Wen Yuxuan replied, wanting to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Wu Yeran.

  "Since the betrothal gifts are sufficient, it's probably a matter of strength now." Wu Ye Yu was very clear-headed at this moment. Marriage matters required matching social status, which boiled down to wealth and power. Wealth and power were the same everywhere, but what differed was that in this world, having strength meant having wealth and power. If he were a Sword Emperor realm expert today, these problems wouldn't exist.

  Taking a deep breath, Wu Ye Yu slowly said: "I have been cultivating for less than three months and have already reached the middle-level sword realm. I will soon face another breakthrough. Although my talent is not as good as some, it's still better than others. Sister Yu Xian, how do you know that I won't be qualified to marry Xi Yue in the future?" As he spoke, Wu Ye Yu paused slightly and turned to Wen Xi Yue with a gentle tone.

  "Ye Yu is ten years old this year, and Xi Yue is nine. When Ye Yu turns eighteen, when your hair grows down to your waist, I'll come to marry you, okay?"

  Collect it, recommend it, and give it a boost!!!
