Chapter 993: You Yue’s Feelings
Thanks to the assistance of Rui Jin and Hei Yu, Jian Chen’s journey was extremely easy. Hei Yu directly ripped open a Space Gate, crossing over a million kilometers in a mere step. They directly arrived in the space above the Changyang clan in Lore City.
Right now, Jian Chen was completely certain that Rui Jin and Hei Yu only followed him to protect the Winged Tiger God. He had already grown accustomed to them following him closely everywhere.
Jian Chen originally wanted to visit the Tianqin clan in Walaurent City to see Qin Xiao. However, he gave up on the idea after considering that it was just too inconvenient with his parents as well as Rui Jin and Hei Yu. He decided to spend the next period of time dealing with the matters at hand, before proceeding to the Tianqin clan to find Qin Xiao. He had no idea how Qin Xiao was after they had separated for ten years—was he married? Did he have children? What level of strength did he grow to?
Jian Chen brought Bi Yuntian and Changyang Ba back with Rui Jin and Hei Yu, which immediately lead to a very large uproar in the clan. Very few people in the clan knew that Jian Chen was a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master, so many of them felt utterly astounded with Bi Yuntian and Changyang Ba’s resurrection.
Changyang Zu Yunxiao and Changyang Zu Yunkong viewed Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian’s return with great importance. They set aside their lofty statuses and personally went up to receive them. They were extremely polite, and did not display the haughtiness commonly seen between different generations.
After all, they had given birth to the pride of the clan, Jian Chen.
As Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian already had some prior understanding of the clan before they had arrived, they did not panic or become surprised when they saw Changyang Zu Yunxiao, Changyang Zu Yeyun, or the Changyang clan ancestor. They greeted the three of them as juniors, as they were Changyang Zu Yunkong’s descendants after all.
Bi Yuntian and Changyang Ba were nimble-minded people. When they saw how politely the esteemed Changyang Zu Yunxiao and Changyang Zu Yeyun treated them, they immediately understood that it was all because of their son. They could not help but feel extremely proud, but in no way did they become arrogant.
Later that night, Changyang Zu Yunxiao personally held a banquet to welcome back Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian. Even the king of the Gesun Kingdom ran over from a very great distance and warmly greeted Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian. He made his mind up to establish a tight relationship with the clan, as he was only on friendly terms with Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian in the clan other than Jian Chen.
The king mentioned the marriage between his daughter and Jian Chen once again to Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian during the banquet. He used various excuses in an attempt to make the marriage occur earlier. He was eager for Jian Chen to become his son-in-law.
Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian naturally agreed with the king’s suggestions. They were also eager for Jian Chen to marry You Yue, but with Jian Chen’s present day status, they could no longer force him into the marriage. They still needed to ask Jian Chen himself.
Jian Chen had just returned to the continent, so he had a lot of matters to attend to. The white tiger’s mother, Rum Guinness, needed to be saved, and the white tiger also needed to take its revenge. Jian Chen also needed to take revenge for the massacre of the Bi clan, deal with Tie Ta’s identity, deal with the threats from the Beast God Continent, deal with the sea goddess’ task and so on. These matters would all take a large amount of time to complete, so he could not afford to think about matters of love. As a result, he pushed it back time and time again. He knew that this was very unfair to You Yue, but he could do nothing about it.
You Yue, who sat beside Jian Chen, naturally became extremely happy as soon as she heard her father mention the marriage with Jian Chen. She was filled with anticipation, but she still became extremely disappointed in the end.
“Xiang’er, you’re not young anymore. It’s about time you consider marriage. Yue’er has already waited for you for over a decade. Do you still want to keep her waiting?” said Bi Yuntian, as she persuaded him earnestly. She liked You Yue very much as a daughter-in-law.
Jian Chen also became filled with uneasiness. He said, “Mother, I’ll find some time to marry Yue’er after I deal with the matters at hand.” After these words left his mouth, he could not help but think about Huang Luan who he was in love with, as well as the Heavenly Enchantress who he ended up sleeping with since they had no other choice. His emotions immediately became mixed.
“Mother-in-law, let’s talk about it after Jian Chen deals with his matters. Yue’er is busy with the Flame Mercenaries right now as well, so I’m not in the mood to deal with marriage at this time either,” You Yue said gently. Her soft voice was as pleasant as a lark’s call. Although she said this, You Yue’s gaze toward Jian Chen still hid a deep bitterness.
At the banquet, Changyang Zu Yunkong formally announced Changyang Ba as the patriarch once again. Changyang Ba would be dealing with all the matters of the clan. The position of patriarch was finally passed on officially.
The position did not mean anything, but it at least showed Changyang Zu Yunkong’s acceptance and respect for Changyang Ba.
