214 How was that a Proposal? (2/2)

”You be quiet. I'm trying to persuade the Princess to accept your proposal.”

Lu Wei watched his grandmother speechlessly. How was smacking his bottom considered as persuading?

The Crown Princess felt a shiver when Chief Ye turned to her with a smile. ”Grandmother, don't listen to him.” She turned to Lu Wei and felt the urge to push him from a tall building.

What proposal? When did he propose to her? Weren't they were just discussing whether Qian Rong citizens would agree to join Da Cheng or not? How was that a proposal?

”I have never said no,” Princess Lingchen continued.

She didn't exactly say yes, either. Her parents had agreed to let her marry Lu Wei, and as an obedient daughter, she never thought of going against their arrangement.

Chief Ye's lips curved into a smile. She patted the Princess' hand softly and said, ”That's good. I was worried that you might not agree to marry Wei Wei. Next time, don't give grandmother a scare again.” She exhaled loudly and continued. ” Princess Lingchen, I like you. Naturally, I was overjoyed when Lu Wei told me that you were going to get married. Although my grandchild is a bit useless, I can assure you that he will be around when you need him.”

Princess Lingchen could only smile as she continued to listen to Chief Ye's speech. Sometimes, Princess Lingchen was not sure whether the old lady was complimenting Lu Wei or insulting him.

”Actually, there is one other reason why I come,” Chief Ye said after a long time berating her grandson.

Seeing the way Chief Ye was gazing at her, Princess Lingchen knew that the old lady has something she wanted to ask from her. ”Grandmother, you can be at ease. If it is something that I can help, I will definitely do it.”

”Of course, it is something that you can help,” Chief Ye said. ”I have something to communicate with Yang Yun, and I need your permission to enter the area.”

Previously, the area around the sacrificial tree was locked down once they found out that the tree could be used as a portal to connect their world to others. Since then, the soldiers under the Crown Princess guarded the place. No one was allowed to enter or leave without her authorization.

”Is there something wrong?” Princess Lingchen asked. For Chief Ye to travel all the way from Sui Country to Da Cheng, the Chief must have an urgent matter.

”I don't know what was going on in the world where Yang Yun and his wife went to,” Chief Ye said. ”But whatever happened to the other side might affect our world as well as we were connected through the tree. Through divination, the elders of the tribe found that if we didn't cut off the connection to the other world in time, then bad things will happen to our world as well.”

The Crown Princess felt her heart jumped. ”What kind of bad things?”

”Nature disaster that will lead to plague and later, death.”
