Chapter 2322 - 2322 2312 Forced Marriage

2322: Chapter 2312: Forced Marriage 2322: Chapter 2312: Forced Marriage Clearly, Li Xueling also felt that what she had said was somewhat improper, but since she had already decided, she would follow through to the end.

“What do you think?

The benefits of that martial arts technique surely need no further explanation.”

Long Yan glanced at Yin Yue, who was nestling in his Master’s arms like an ostrich.

Putting other things aside, just in terms of appearance, Yin Yue was not inferior to Lingxi, and what’s more, she carried an extraordinary air of transcendence that Lingxi lacked.

However, Long Yan still chose to decline.

“I ask for Sect Leader Li’s understanding.

I am afraid I cannot comply with your request.”

“You…”

Long Yan stood proudly in the Main Hall, but showed no sign of changing his stance.

Seeing Long Yan’s reaction truly infuriated Li Xueling; someone of her age had thrown all pride aside, to the extent of even uttering such a commitment as going to Cloud Mountain together, yet this youngster still disagreed.

If it were possible, Li Xueling really wanted to pry open Long Yan’s head and see if it was filled with nothing but wood.

“Kid, you truly are detestable.

I’ll put it straight today: If you marry my Apprentice, fine, but if you refuse, don’t blame me, Li Xueling, for being heartless!”

It appeared that Li Xueling was genuinely baffled by Long Yan’s defiance, adopting a tone suggestive of forced trading.

“Of course, it would be my good fortune to have Miss Yin Yue marry me, but I have already pledged my life to another girl, and surely, Sect Leader Li, you wouldn’t want Yin Yue’s husband to be a man who does not keep his commitments.”

Long Yan’s words left Li Xueling at a loss for words, her beautiful eyes glaring, as if about to shoot flames.

“Then marry both, but our Yin Yue must be the chief wife.”

“Master~”

Yin Yue pouted sweetly again; what on earth had gotten into her Master today, spouting increasingly embarrassing words.

“What do you say?

Kid, you have no excuse to refuse this time, right?”

Li Xueling’s words carried a smug tone, thinking that no man could refuse such a blissful opportunity.

“I respectfully ask for time to discuss this with her before replying to Sect Leader Li.”

With just these words said in haste, Long Yan wanted to make a quick escape, not caring about the Thunder Spirit Bead or anything else anymore.

However, Li Xueling had anticipated Long Yan’s move, and with a wave of her Big Hand, a rope glittering with golden light instantly tied Long Yan up tight.

Despite his struggles, the golden rope remained unyielding.

“Young Hero Long, where are you trying to go?”

Li Xueling’s voice sounded behind Long Yan like a voracious Fierce Ghost, while Long Yan, bound by her like a slaughtered pig, couldn’t move at all.

“Sect Leader Li, I just wanted to walk around the mountain top.”

Long Yan replied with a helpless smile, also feeling the golden ropes around his legs loosening, but those binding his body remained fastened.

“Then let Yin Yue accompany you.

It’ll be a good opportunity for the two of you to cultivate a relationship.”

“Master~”

The slight whine from Yin Yue brought a smile to Li Xueling’s face, who gently patted her apprentice’s back and sent her to show Long Yan around the interior of Mingyue Sect.

Just as the two were leaving the Main Hall, Li Xueling’s voice came from behind.

“I forgot to mention, Young Hero Long, unless you have a Cultivation Base stronger than mine, this Binding Immortal Rope won’t budge with brute strength.”

Just as Long Yan stepped over the threshold, his back foot was viciously tripped by the doorstep, but luckily Yin Yue was by his side to support him.

“This time, I’ve caused you trouble again.”

Yin Yue said somewhat embarrassedly, but on Long Yan’s face, there emerged a smile that seemed to invite further questioning.

To him, the idea that they wanted to trap him with just a measly rope was ludicrous.

Of course, Long Yan himself had no means to untie the rope, but there was someone else in Long Yan’s Sea of Consciousness.

Long Yan planned to wait until the evening to see if there was a way to untangle the Binding Immortal Rope.

“Long Yan, don’t be anxious.

I’ll go back and ask Master to untie it for you.

If you’re not willing, really, it’s okay.”

Although Yin Yue’s face wore a look of disappointment, she hadn’t anticipated her Master would pull such a stunt.

But if it resulted in Long Yan agreeing to marry her, she knew even then, he wouldn’t be happy with the union.

“It’s fine, don’t worry.

Such a shabby rope certainly can’t trap me.”

Just now, Long Yan had received Yun Huang’s message that the Binding Immortal Rope could indeed be untangled.

But seeing the dejected look on Yin Yue’s face, Long Yan really had no idea what to say.

“I am sorry for this, but I’m already in love with someone else.”

At this moment, Long Yan thought of the moment Lingxi was taken away, her face streaked with two lines of blood tears, and his heart ached involuntarily.

The Yanmen Commerce Association is soon to advance to become one of the top associations in the entire Qin Dynasty, and by then, he would have the means to marry Lingxi.

“The girl you like must be very fortunate.”

In front of them lay the cliff, the most scenic spot in the entire Mingyue Sect, which was also, of course, Yin Yue’s private sanctuary.

Taking a deep breath, Yin Yue felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation in body and soul.

Of course, Long Yan moved his lips behind her but said nothing.

The girl in front of him was not suitable for him.

Long Yan knew his goals, and as far as love was concerned, if it happened to him again, it would be too pitiable.

“You don’t have to feel burdened.

I admit, I like you.”

Yin Yue’s face turned crimson, evidently embarrassed by her own admission, but now amidst the beautiful scenery, she felt able to express her feelings freely.

Yin Yue did not want to suppress her emotions.

Long Yan’s throat moved, wanting to say a lot, but he only managed to say one sentence.

“I’m sorry.”

He didn’t quite understand what he was apologizing for – whether it was because Yin Yue had fallen for him, or because he couldn’t reciprocate.

Long Yan wasn’t sure himself.

“Of course, there’s no need for sorry.

I will make you fall for me with my own abilities.”

Yin Yue shouted towards the cliff, her loud voice scattering the surrounding white fog, which caught Long Yan by surprise, thinking perhaps he had caused a misunderstanding.

“Later, you can just pretend to marry me.

After you get the Thunder Spirit Bead, I will help you retreat.”

“That won’t do.”

Long Yan immediately rejected Yin Yue’s suggestion as soon as she made it, not to mention the feasibility of the plan.

If he were to run away from the marriage, what would happen to Yin Yue’s reputation?

Such an act would make her a target for everyone in the Mingyue Sect.

“But there doesn’t seem to be any other good solution.”

Yin Yue gave a helpless smile, but that smile seemed tinged with bleakness.

Long Yan’s brows furrowed tightly.

The situation was indeed difficult; untangling the Binding Immortal Rope was simple for him now, but as for the Thunder Spirit Bead, after some thought, Long Yan decided to give it up.

“Yun Huang, how can this Binding Immortal Rope be undone?”

Long Yan asked in a low voice.

The cold voice of Yun Huang entered into Long Yan’s ears.

Although the Binding Immortal Rope was not considered an Immortal World’s ultimate treasure, it was indeed made to restrict those with less power than its user.

Unless there was some kind of Divine Weapon, the Binding Immortal Rope would absolutely not come undone.
