Chapter 232 - 232 I Will Marry Her
Under all circumstances, this was undoubtedly cheating.
Even a great Immortal can’t be saved, right?
Hatchet? A good ship?
Liu Yuan’s face turned stiff as he accidentally let his heart skip a beat. In an instant, countless Bad Ending images rushed into his mind. He panicked. At the very least, she would not be like Shen Sifan and directly attack him with a sword, right?
Liu Yuan had even thought of the follow-up…
The next day, the biggest news in the Green Centipede would probably be ‘Shocking! The rookie of the Singing Sword Ranking, Jiang Feng, was dismembered into ten thousand pieces by the Jade Mirage Sect Senior Sister, Ling Hua. His head was taken to the sea on a boat, disappearing without a trace.’
From then on, it became an unsolved case in Shangyang.
After a few days, when the news spread, his harem would either take revenge for him and declare war on the Jade Mirage Sect, or be so disheartened by his passing that they hide from the world forever.
Damn, this is a real tragedy!
Was running away my only choice?
No, calm down, calm down. He was no longer the helpless weakling he had been in the past. The situation was not out of control. Ling Hua would not be as reckless as Chen Sifan. She was the face of the Jade Mirage Sect and a candidate for the next Sect Master. She would not destroy her own reputation. Under such circumstances, she would definitely not do it openly!
After careful analysis, there was still a chance!
He looked at Ling Hua without blinking and pretended to be calm. In fact, while he was secretly observing her reaction, Liu Yuan’s thoughts were running fast.
Ling Hua was not Shen Sifan. Just like how she had already heard about the scandal between Liu Yuan and those women, she had not questioned Liu Yuan until now.
Moreover, her tone was very calm, even gentle. She did not seem to have any intention of condemning him, as if she was just asking a normal question.
After she asked, she did not do anything ‘extreme’ and quietly waited for his answer.
Liu Yuan looked at Ling Hua and could not help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart…
Perhaps, he was really just asking.
After all, Ling Hua was actually a virtuous, generous, and tolerant person who was not jealous.
In this game, the first wife that Liu Yuan would think of asking for help would be Duan Lanruo, followed by Ling Hua.
He could turn to Duan Lanruo due to her identity, while Ling Hua was due to personality.
Although she looked cold, she was gentler than anyone else. She was also a representative of the Righteous Path. If Shen Sifan was upright and hated evil, then Ling Hua was gentle and compassionate. It was just that her external gentleness was too high and mighty. She looked at everything as equal, just like Guanyin who lowered her gaze, saving all living beings but not giving anyone a second glance.
However, as the only successful player in the entire game, Liu Yuan had a deeper understanding of Ling Hua’s gentleness.
If not for this, Liu Yuan would not have set the Jade Mirage Sect as his second destination after he left for the City of Ten Thousand Swords.
Although Ding Luan had entrusted Liu Yuan with this mission, if Ling Hua had the same personality as Pihuan Luo, Liu Yuan would never have gone to see her when he was still weak for the sake of his own life.
After a short glance, Liu Yuan’s mind was filled with a lot of messy thoughts. He finally calmed down. He could not panic. At least, he had to believe in his own judgment. He had even dealt with Pihuan Luo (although he had some luck in it), so there was no reason he could not deal with Ling Hua.
That’s right! From the very beginning, from the moment he revealed his identity as a member of the Baishan Court, she was already helping me!
Liu Yuan was enlightened.
He first looked at Xiahou Cenyi.
The Grand Elder was looking at him with a faint smile. She stood with her hands behind her back and did not speak.
Liu Yuan was completely at ease.
Although Xiahou Cenyi was a playful person, she would not act recklessly without considering the actual situation. She must have had some confidence, so this was a sign of safety.
He hardened his heart. Since he had already admitted to it just now, he might as well just say it out loud.
He would have to come into contact with the remaining characters sooner or later. With the backing of the City of Ten Thousand Swords, Taiqing Pavilion, and Xuanyin family… Unless the others all joined forces, he was basically invincible in Central Plains.
At the very least, the possibility of him being chopped up no longer existed.
Liu Yuan coughed twice to clear his throat. His gaze fell on Ling Hua’s face, which was covered by the veil. He looked into her eyes and said, “That’s right. I had an agreement with the Green Lotus Swordsman. If she could defeat me one day, I would marry her.”
Marry? In other words, marrying into the Taiqing Pavilion?
Everyone’s expression became a little strange and awkward… But when they thought of the Green Lotus Swordsman’s fierce temper, which made her rush thousands of miles away as soon as she came out of seclusion, it seemed that it was normal for her to be so strong.
Because the meaning of this word was too shocking, the others had neglected the fact that Liu Yuan’s sentence actually contained more information.
However, some observant people noticed that Liu Yuan’s words made it seem as if he had known the Green Lotus Swordsman for a long time. Since the agreement was ‘if she can defeat me’… It was natural that she could not defeat him in the past.
This meant that Liu Yuan used to be stronger than Shen Sifan.
However, because it was said by Liu Yuan himself, it was somewhat suspicious, but a trace of doubt was buried in their hearts.
Cen Shanzi’s expression became even uglier, as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he gritted his teeth.
But soon after, he rejoiced a little. Since the Swordsman had made an agreement with Jiang Feng, and they had gotten entangled with each other, the relationship between the two of them must have been confirmed.
In this case, it was absolutely impossible for Daoist Priest Ling Hua to have any connection with him!
The core disciple of the Taiqing Pavilion suddenly felt relieved.
To be honest, with the strength and potential that Liu Yuan had displayed so far, he was very likely to shake Ling Hua’s first place on the Heaven List in the future.
In other words, he was different from the others. He was a man who was qualified to talk to Ling Hua on equal terms. In other words, if Liu Yuan pursued Ling Hua, he might succeed. Moreover, the Jade Mirage Sect would not object to Ling Hua.
In addition, Ling Hua’s unusual behavior of asking this kind of gossip-like question was also very worrying. Although it was not a problem to treat it as a concern for an excellent junior and a future opponent.
The crowd was in an uproar because of Liu Yuan’s words, but Ling Hua’s eyes were still calm. She nodded and said, “She came to you for this promise… Did she win?”
“She lost,” Liu Yuan said, shaking his head.
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes were about to pop out.
The Green Lotus Swordsman had lost?
They only knew that the Green Lotus Swordsman had declared war on Liu Yuan on the award stage, but they did not know what had happened before and after that. As for the result of the battle, they naturally acquiesced that the Green Lotus Swordsman had won.
Only now did they know that Liu Yuan had won!
However, in this way, breaking news like ‘A rising star marrying the Green Lotus Swordsman’, which could have been a hot topic, was gone. It actually did not follow the expected routine.
Ling Hua did not react in time. For the first time, she was stunned.
Liu Yuan thought to himself, ‘She’s not angry even after this, so she must not be jealous.’
He was overjoyed and coughed twice. In front of almost half of the sects in Central Plains, he said, “I will marry her.”
