The sudden appearance of Yun'er had already surprised Ye Tian, and now she was saying such things. From her words, it was clear that Cold Moon not only did not oppose her pursuit of Ye Tian but even treated her as a friend.
This situation left Ye Tian utterly speechless. As the saying goes, a woman's heart is as deep as the ocean, making it truly difficult to fathom.
At this moment, some time had passed since Ye Tian's arrival, and the disciples of Cloud Rolling Sect had mostly gathered. Even if a few were still on their way, their hurried figures could already be seen on the path.
"The Cloudscroll Pavilion is about to hold a ceremony. As an outer sect disciple, it might not be appropriate for you to be here," Ye Tian said as he looked around before addressing Yun'er.
"Are you concerned about me?" Yun'er pouted and smiled charmingly, gazing directly at Ye Tian.
Hearing this, Ye Tian frowned deeply. In his subconscious, he was indeed worried about Yun'er's safety because she was from Blood Sect, and infiltrating Cloud Sea Sect was already a very dangerous thing. Therefore, he absolutely could not let any additional risks arise.
However, this concern felt quite strange; even Ye Tian himself did not know why he felt this way. After a brief and careful analysis, he began to understand the reason behind it.
Although Yun'er had infiltrated Cloud Sea Sect for revenge, her true intention was to get closer to Ye Tian. Any woman willing to take such great risks to pursue someone would naturally touch anyone's heart.
With that feeling of being moved, he could not just stand by and watch her walk into danger.
"Quickly leave; stop dawdling," Ye Tian knew that soft words would not work, so he deliberately put on a fierce expression.
"Hmph." Yun'er pouted her lips and reluctantly turned away.
Seeing this, Ye Tian secretly exhaled. However, before he could fully relax, Yun'er suddenly turned back with a joyful smile and said, "I knew you were just pretending; you really don’t want to scare me."
"Just go already; don’t keep chatting with me here," Ye Tian said helplessly as he tried to drive her away again.
"No way! You have to promise me something before I can leave," Yuner's joy remained undiminished as she completely ignored Ye Tian's attempts to shoo her away.
Ye Tian furrowed his brows tightly. After hesitating for a while, he finally steeled his heart and asked, "What is it?"
"First, you need to say whether you agree or not." Yun'er looked at Ye Tian with a mischievous smile, completely unbothered by the strange looks from others.
Since ancient times, it has not been considered normal for women to actively pursue men, especially when Yun'er is so beautiful and Ye Tian is merely a Newly Accepted Disciple.
Just a moment ago, Ye Tian had been standing foolishly in an area where only core disciples and Elder Steward could stand, and judging by his expression, he clearly did not realize he was in the wrong place.
Thus, combining all these factors, Yun'er pursuing Ye Tian appeared to most people present as a case of flowers being wasted on cow dung, a true waste of heavenly resources. The real issue was that it seemed like heavenly resources were willingly degrading themselves, which was truly lamentable.
Of course, this is the more pleasant way to put it. In reality, whether it was a waste of resources or self-degradation was of no concern to anyone; what they truly cared about was why such good fortune did not fall upon them.
In simple terms, it was jealousy.
"The Lord is here!"
Just as everyone was discussing among themselves, a loud voice rang out from outside the crowd. Moments later, several figures emerged from the path, led by Lord Xuanyuan Changfeng of this pavilion. He already had a strong presence, but today he seemed even more spirited; it was unclear what good news had come.
Beside him was a young man who was exceptionally handsome and exuded an air of talent. The earlier words had come from him; he was none other than Li Xun, the eldest disciple of Cloudscroll Pavilion. Following Li Xun were five pairs of ten people, varying in age and dressed slightly differently from ordinary disciples; they were likely Elders or Stewards.
Ye Tian felt a jolt of alarm upon seeing this; if Yun'er didn't leave now, it would be too late.
"Aren't you leaving?!" Ye Tian said anxiously, his face showing signs of distress.
"I'll leave if you agree," Yun'er replied, biting her lip and looking pitiful.
This was a woman's ultimate weapon; however, it was also a double-edged sword. The effectiveness of this tactic depended entirely on the beauty of her appearance.
Clearly, with looks like Yun'er's, this tactic would be effective.
"Fine, I agree. Just go quickly," Ye Tian said helplessly, nodding in acquiescence.
"Alright, you said it." Seeing Ye Tian nod, Yun'er’s pitiful expression instantly turned to joy, almost faster than flipping a page.
"Then I'm leaving." Yun'er decided to take advantage of the situation and didn't want to appear greedy.
Ye Tian waved his hand in frustration, "What did you make me promise you?"
Yun'er happily skipped away, and upon hearing Ye Tian's words, turned back with a charming smile and said, "I'll tell you when the time comes."
Ye Tian's face darkened; he felt that this girl was truly difficult to deal with. Next time they met, he had to think of a way to make her give up completely.
"Ye Tian! You have some nerve standing here. Do you know who this place is for?"
Just as Ye Tian was deep in thought, Li Xun's furious voice suddenly rang in his ears.
Ye Tian turned to look and saw that the group of over ten people had gathered around Xuanyuan Changfeng, while Li Xun was pointing at him with a cold and fierce expression.
"For whom is it meant?" Ye Tian asked instinctively, not trying to argue but genuinely confused. He had been bewildered by that group earlier and sensed something was off about this position, but Yun'er's sudden arrival made him forget about it.
"Only direct disciples, elders, or lords are allowed here!" Li Xun declared sternly, raising his voice in reprimand.
As soon as Li Xun finished speaking, the crowd erupted in cheers. They had envied Yun'er for pursuing Ye Tian earlier, and now seeing Ye Tian embarrassed brought them great satisfaction. Moreover, Li Xun was recognized as the top disciple of Cloudscroll Pavilion; who wouldn't want to get closer to him?
"Oh..." Ye Tian awkwardly nodded. This was indeed his fault; although unintentional, wrong is wrong.
"Oh? Is that all you have to say?" Li Xun expected Ye Tian to refute or argue back but was surprised when he simply "pleaded guilty," which made things rather dull.
"What do you want then?" Ye Tian boldly met his gaze without fear.
"What do I want?" Li Xun feigned surprise and then turned to the crowd, cupping his hands and saying, "Brothers, this guy has broken the rules and is so brazen about it. You should tell him what he should do!"
"Punish him!"
"Severe punishment!"
"Let him roll out of our Cloudscroll Pavilion!"
The people in the room were filled with righteous indignation. If an outsider were to come in at that moment, they would likely think that Ye Tian was a heinous villain deserving of the worst crimes.
"He doesn't even know what's going on; why are you punishing him?"
Just as everyone spoke in unison, a particularly abrupt voice rang out.
The voice was like a lark in the morning, crisp and lively, making one feel delighted at heart.
As soon as the words were spoken, all eyes turned towards her, their expressions filled with astonishment as if they had discovered a new continent.
"Why are you back again?" Ye Tian sighed helplessly and took a deep breath.
The owner of that voice was none other than Yun'er, who had just left. She hadn't gone far when she heard Li Xun's scolding voice, so she quietly returned. Upon seeing everyone targeting Ye Tian, she couldn't help but step forward.
Although she was generous and cheerful, having hundreds of gazes suddenly focused on her made her instinctively take a step back.
"Who are you?" Li Xun did not get angry because no one could directly scold such a beautiful woman.
"What does it matter who I am!" Yun'er had regained her composure. Looking at Li Xun, she recalled his expression when he scolded Ye Tian and felt an uncontrollable anger rising within her.
Li Xun was taken aback; he never expected this woman to be so irritable. As a young talent of considerable status himself, he was usually the object of pursuit for many women and had never been treated this way by one before.
"You are just meddling in others' affairs," Ye Tian said disdainfully as he looked at Yun'er, his tone cold.
Although Yun'er knew that Ye Tian was deliberately trying to provoke her, a wave of sadness still surged uncontrollably in her heart.
"I'm not leaving." Yun'er bit her crimson lip lightly, her face filled with determination.
"Oh? A parting of life and death? It's not that serious; it's just punishment." Li Xun grew increasingly angry. At this moment, his jealousy was no longer limited to the Cloud Sea Sect's regard for Ye Tian; it had gradually transformed into something all-consuming.
"Cold words, do you find that amusing?" Ye Tian also felt a surge of anger. The fault was indeed his, and he could accept the mockery and punishment directed at him, but it was somewhat contemptible for a seven-foot man like Li Xun to ridicule Yun'er with veiled insults.
"What? I have no intention; do you have another intention?" Li Xun glared at Ye Tian, his fist hidden in his sleeve quietly tightening, while an invisible aura suddenly emanated from his body.
Ye Tian raised his neck slightly. He knew he was not Li Xun's match, but in his world, the word "retreat" had never existed.
"I intend to fight." Ye Tian stared directly at Li Xun, his gaze sharp as lightning.
The atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point, and Xuanyuan Changfeng, who had been silent and merely smiling at Ye Tian, finally stood up from his seat.
As Xuanyuan Changfeng moved, the pressure emanating from Li Xun weakened significantly, and his expression changed noticeably.
In truth, Li Xun did not want to lay hands on Ye Tian. Although he was jealous, he wasn't foolish enough to strike a Newly Accepted Disciple in front of hundreds of people with the strength of a Martial Sovereign as an Elder Brother; that would be too embarrassing for him.
His true aim was to verify his standing in Xuanyuan Changfeng's eyes compared to Ye Tian. Last time on their way to Spirit Martial Town, Xuanyuan Changfeng had reprimanded him because of Ye Tian, which had caused him considerable pain. He had always been Xuanyuan Changfeng's most favored disciple, but not long ago there was a Wine Kid incident, and now there was Ye Tian. If this continued, he truly didn't know how he would manage to stay in Cloudscroll Pavilion.
