Chapter 37: The Wife Follows The Husband’s Call

It wasn’t the first time Hong Xiaobao had seen a person as shameless as that. But, Ye Feihong was the first old senior who had ever acted in this unreasonable manner in front of him!

Even the two hiding within the tree outside the pavilion, Qingwing and Jian Pu, let out a dissatisfied humph. Qingqing said angrily, “This Ye Feihong… He really thinks that he’s that much of a big shot with only the Thunder Sound Pavilion backing him?!”

Jian Pu added, “The people of the Six Great Orthodoxies have always been prideful and arrogant. It isn’t weird to see Ye Feihong act like that at all.”

At this moment within the Xuan Yang Pavilion, the whole atmosphere was heavy and quiet as everyone started to raise their alertness. Everyone else had their eyes on Hong Wenqing and was awaiting his reply.

“Elder Ye,” said Hong Wenqing, with his smiling expression changing to a cold one. “In the fights of the younger generation, there will be a winner and a loser. The winner can celebrate without worries while the loser shouldn’t mind it that much either. Given that Xiaobao had just started training not long ago, it is understandable that he isn’t too well versed in controlling the strength of his strikes for now. Also, I believe Ye Jinning was also using all of his strength during that fight just now, so to argue about this would be pointless. As for the refusal to cancel the engagement, you should direct that question to miss Yun Caixiao. I am still of the same opinion, as long as she is willing to cancel it, I wouldn’t force her to keep the engagement promise either. But if she isn’t willing, then I am definitely willing to have her be the daughter-in-law and will protect her even at the cost of my own life.”

Hong Wenqing’s argument really had no flaw and there isn’t really much that could be said about it.

“Okay… Alright alright.” Ye Feihong narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “The head teacher’s orders are absolute. If you are not willing to cancel the engagement yourself, let me hear what you have to say, Caixiao!” He gave Yun Shengxuan a savage look and broke into a smile, obviously hinting at his intentions.

This time, all the eyes looked towards Yun Caixiao.

It was understood what would happen if she were to step out of the engagement. And it was also implied what would happen to her should she choose not to.

With her caught in a dilemma, it was like time itself had stopped and the Xuan Yang Pavilion was so quiet that even the sound of a needle hitting the ground could be heard clear and crisp.

However, should Caixiao really propose to break off the engagement, the Hong family would no longer be able to show their faces in front of those of the Jiang Hu again out of humiliation.

Yun Caixiao looked straight at Ye Jinning and looked back at Hong Xiaobao. Her face instantly brightened and she softly said, “Since Brother Xiaobao has managed to start cultivating, then the hesitation in my heart is all but gone. I am a traditional girl, since Brother Xiaobao hasn’t done anything to wrong me, my decision is simple.”

Having said so much, the crowd showed expressions of understanding and secretly gave Yun Caixiao a thumbs up in their hearts.

Yun Caixiao’s decision was obvious at this point. Previously, she didn’t confirm it because she was worried that Hong Xiaobao didn’t have any hope in cultivating and would pa.s.s away far earlier as the lifespan of non-cultivators were really short. Should that really be the case, then engagement really would have to be called off. To use an a.n.a.logy of the world of Earth, it was like getting engaged to a person who had cancer at the later stages. One party would be able to live to their eighties while the other only had three to five years left. Even though the relations.h.i.+p between people was important, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to break off the engagement because of the sickness.

Now that Hong Xiaobao had proved himself, there was no longer a problem with his lifespan. That was akin to having his “cancer” cured, so there was no more room for hesitation.

Naturally, Yun Caixiao merely smiled and said, “Since Brother Xiaobao is already my fiancee, then I will follow him always like a wife that follows her husband’s call. I’ll follow Brother Xiaobao anywhere he goes.”

The wife who follows her husband!
