Ye Shaohua glanced at him upon hearing his words, "No."

Her voice betrayed neither joy nor anger.

Xuanyun opened his mouth.

But seeing Ye Shaohua focused on reading and no longer paying attention to him, he said nothing more and had no choice but to leave.

His martial arts skills were excellent, such that even in broad daylight, his comings and goings at the Ye Family’s residence went undetected.

The officials of the Imperial City almost all lived near the Imperial Palace.

After leaving the Ye Family, he did not go elsewhere, but after passing two streets, he stopped in front of a magnificently built courtyard.

"Respected National Teacher," upon seeing Xuanyun return, the people waiting in the study room immediately bowed respectfully, their faces clearly displaying admiration and reverence.

Xuanyun nodded indifferently.

"This is a map the emperor has obtained recently," seeing that Xuanyun remained silent, one person remembered the reason for seeking him out and immediately handed over a piece of blueprint paper, "We would like to request your insights."

Xuanyun set down the letter in his hand and reached for the blueprint.

After a brief look, the corner of his mouth curved in a smile whose meaning was unclear.

The people in the study room could not discern the reason for his smile.

"I’ve heard people in the Imperial City say that the Ye Family’s third young lady is an exceptional female, and I did not believe it," the ministers, unsure of Xuanyun’s expression, could only guess at his thoughts, "but now, seeing that she can produce such blueprints and even defeat Level 3 warriors, we all feel that she truly deserves the title of the Imperial City’s prodigy. National Teacher, what do you think, should we not meet this Miss Ye Shaohua?"

The current National Teacher had appeared out of nowhere three years ago, rumored to be the elder martial brother of the previous National Teacher.

Originally, Xuanyun had no interest in the position of National Teacher of the great Wang Dynasty, leaving it to his junior, but then he suddenly returned three years ago. Although everyone in the Royal Court was puzzled by his return, the emperor trusted him deeply.

In three years’ time, both the Royal Court and the entire Imperial City had come to hold him in awe.

Even General Ye, the number one expert, did not dare to act proudly in the presence of the National Teacher.

Upon hearing their words, Xuanyun looked at the minister with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Imperial City’s prodigy?"

"Exactly." The minister lowered his head.

"She has nothing but her name," Xuanyun casually returned the paper, "There’s no need for you to interfere in this matter."

After saying this, he spoke no further.

The ministers exchanged glances with one another, feeling as if a layer of sweat had formed on their foreheads, and when they left the National Teacher’s study room, even the sun above their heads seemed to provide no warmth whatsoever.

"What does the National Teacher mean by that?" The group was perplexed.

Thinking back to the National Teacher’s words "She has nothing but her name," a chill ran down their spines.

This Imperial City prodigy, not yet sixteen years old, could defeat Level 3 warriors and her mind was filled with all manner of strange and unusual ideas... Even the Third Prince and others were smitten with her.

If she’s deemed as having nothing but her name... who else could truly claim to have substance?

Could it be... the National Teacher was making a joke?

But considering the National Teacher’s personality, he was not one for jokes.

Inside the room, Xuanyun smiled faintly upon hearing the Dark Guard’s report about Ye Zhaoyun’s engagement and the reaction of both families, "Imperial City’s prodigy, do you think she matches that tactful Young Master Xie who hides his light under a bushel?"

The Dark Guard: "..." Suddenly felt a bit frightened.

"I rather find them quite suitable, one with an overly high opinion of herself, the other feeling that Miss Ye Zhaoyun is not worthy of him..."

The Dark Guard: "..."

Please stop talking...

Meanwhile, Ye Zhaoyun had already gone to see what kind of person Ye Shaohua’s prospective husband was.

Upon returning, her expression showed surprise.

And some bewilderment.

Fang Naomi had not supported Ye Zhaoyun going in the first place, but Ye Zhaoyun had always been self-confident and did not take Fang Naomi’s concerns into consideration, leaving Fang Naomi no choice but to let her go.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyun return now, she also wanted to know what kind of person Xie Zecheng really was.

"Zhaoyun, did you see Young Master Xie?" Fang Naomi stared unblinkingly at Ye Zhaoyun.

Ye Zhaoyun, still in a daze, immediately came back to her senses upon hearing Fang Naomi’s question and avoided eye contact.

"That Young Master Xie is merely a child born out of wedlock, nothing worth discussing!" Ye Zhaoyun waved her hand dismissively.

Clearly unwilling to delve further.

When back in her room, Ye Zhaoyun finally sat down and pondered the recent events.

She had initially looked down on Ye Shaohua’s chosen spouse, thinking the Grand Tutor’s illegitimate son was weak and worthless – a man she wouldn’t even consider. Thus, she hadn’t paid much attention.

But she went straight to his study, wanting to see for herself what kind of man he really was.

To her surprise, she was discovered by him the moment she arrived.

And she got into a fight with him.

Ye Zhaoyun truly had not expected Xie Zecheng, whose skills had been undistinguished in the rumours, to possess martial arts prowess even greater than the Third Prince!

Even Ye Zhaoyun herself was no match for him.

Xie Zecheng might already be a Level 5 warrior!

This man, hiding his talents, was completely indifferent to his own reputation, like a wolf waiting for the right opportunity.

"Liuli, what do you think... should I tell mother," Ye Zhaoyun sighed, "Such a man, with grand ambitions in his heart, is not someone my sister can control. They have different values and social statuses. My sister won’t be happy if she marries him."

Liuli also hadn’t expected Xie Zecheng to be so formidable.

"Forget it," Ye Zhaoyun made up her mind, "I’ll ask Xie Zecheng tomorrow if he can treat her well."

Thus, for several days, Ye Zhaoyun visited Xie Zecheng at night.

Fang Naomi tried to ask Ye Zhaoyun several times, but Ye Zhaoyun said nothing, her expressions growing increasingly strange.

Several days later, it was time for the Ye Family and the Xie Family to exchange the formal engagement documents.

The news of the Ye Family’s union with the Xie Family had already spread throughout the Imperial City.

The Grand Tutor’s wife had reminded Xie Zecheng early on to go to the Ye Family.

Both Fang Naomi and Old Lady Ye were waiting at the Ye Family’s residence.

However, at the appointed time, Xie Zecheng did not appear, showing up only after a delay, clearly indifferent to the marriage arrangement.

For reasons unknown, seeing Ye Zhaoyun, who had come with Fang Naomi, felt a strange mix of emotions.

Old Lady Ye developed a negative opinion of Xie Zecheng.

Fang Naomi, too, had no intentions of marrying her second daughter to Xie Zecheng, but before she could speak up, Xie Zecheng suddenly knelt down and earnestly said, "Old Madam Ye, I have no intentions for Miss Ye Zhaoyun. My heart is set on marrying Miss Ye Shaohua of the Ye Family."

The entire hall fell silent.
