With Ruijin and Black Fish following him, Jianchen's journey back was extremely easy. He directly got Black Fish to open a Space Gate and crossed over a million kilometers with a single step, directly appearing above Changyang Prefecture.
Jianchen was completely certain that Ruijin and Black Fish were only following him to protect the Winged Tiger. As a result, Jianchen had already become accustomed to Ruijin and Black Fish following him closely.
Jianchen originally wanted to visit Qin Xiao in the Tianqin clan in Walaurent City, but when he considered how it would be inappropriate to take his parents, Ruijin, and Black Fish with him, he gave up on that idea. He planned to deal with the matters at hand soon before visiting the Tianqin clan alone. After ten years, he had no idea how Qin Xiao was doing right now. Was he married? Did he have a child? Did he have any idea how much his strength had grown?
Jianchen, Ruijin, and Black Fish returned to Changyang Prefecture with Bi Yuntian and Changyang Ba, which immediately caused a great uproar in the prefecture. This was because very few people knew that Jianchen was a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master. As a result, many people in Changyang Prefecture were extremely shocked by Bi Yuntian and Changyang Ba's return from the dead.
Changyang Zu Yunxiao and Changyang Zu Yunkong attached great importance to the return of Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian. They both cast aside their lofty statuses to personally welcome them. They were extremely polite and did not put on airs just because they were Bi Yuntian's seniors.
This was because Jianchen, who was the pride of Changyang Prefecture, was the son of Bi Yuntian and Changyang Ba.
Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian had some understanding of the current situation in Changyang Prefecture before they had returned, so they did not become flustered or surprised when they saw the couple and the Changyang ancestor. They politely bowed to the three of them. After all, they were Changyang Zu Yunkong's descendants.
Bi Yuntian and Changyang Ba were both quick-witted people. When they saw how the lofty couple actually treated them so politely, they immediately understood that it was all because of their son. They could not help but feel extremely proud, but they did not become arrogant.
That night, Changyang Zu Yunxiao personally hosted a banquet to welcome Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian. Even the king of the Kingdom of Gesun, who was thousands of kilometers away, ran over. He warmly tried to befriend Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian. He had made up his mind to stick to them no matter what, because in Changyang Prefecture, he was only friends with Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian aside from Jianchen.
During the banquet that night, the king of the Kingdom of Gesun brought up the matter of his daughter, You Yue, and Jianchen's marriage to Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian again. He used various reasons in an attempt to facilitate the marriage as soon as possible. He was eager for Jianchen to become his son-in-law as soon as possible.
As parents, Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian obviously agreed to the Kingdom of Gesun's suggestion. They were eager for Jianchen to marry You Yue as soon as possible, but with Jianchen's current status and identity, the two of them could not force Jianchen to marry You Yue. They had to ask for Jianchen's opinion.
Jianchen had just returned to the Tian Yuan Continent, so he still had a large pile of matters to deal with. First, he had to save the White Tiger's mother, Rum Guinness, and avenge the White Tiger's father. There was also the matter of the Bi family's annihilation, Tie Ta's identity, the threat from the Beast God Continent, Poseidon's mission, and so on. All of these required a lot of time, so he did not have the time to think about matters of the heart. As a result, he naturally pushed it off again and again. Although he knew that he would be letting You Yue down, there was nothing he could do about it.
You Yue, who sat beside Jianchen, was obviously overjoyed when she heard her father mention marriage to Jianchen again. She was filled with anticipation, but she was still extremely disappointed in the end.
"Xiang'er, you're not young anymore. It's time for you to consider your marriage. Yue 'er has been waiting for you for over a decade now. Do you want You Yue to keep waiting?" Bi Yuntian advised sincerely. She was very fond of You Yue as her daughter-in-law.
Jianchen was filled with guilt as well. He said, "Mother, I'll find a time to marry Yue 'er once I've dealt with the matters at hand." As he said that, Jianchen could not help but think of Huang Luan, who was deeply in love with him, as well as the Heavenly Enchantress of Three Saint Island whom he had been forced to have intimate relations with. His feelings immediately became mixed.
"Aunty, let's wait for Jianchen to deal with his matters first. Yue 'er is busy with the matters of the Flame Mercenaries right now, so I'm in no mood to talk about relationships." You Yue gently replied. Her soft voice was as pleasant as a lark's, and it was extremely pleasant. Although she said that, You Yue still looked at Jianchen with a sliver of hidden bitterness.
During the banquet, Changyang Zu Yunkong announced Changyang Ba as the patriarch of the Changyang Prefecture once again. He would be responsible for all the matters of the clan, so the position of patriarch that had been vacant for many years finally had a successor.
Although the position of patriarch did not represent anything, it at least demonstrated Changyang Zu Yunkong's recognition and love for Changyang Ba.
The sky had completely darkened by the end of the banquet, but the Changyang clan was still brightly lit. Groups of guards walked around with their chests held high as they patrolled the area in high spirits. They constantly scanned the surroundings with their eagle-like gazes.
Jianchen and You Yue strolled through the rather gloomy back garden. They walked side by side without saying a single word. Jianchen remained calm. He would ponder from time to time, as if he had a lot on his mind, while You Yue would glance at Jianchen from time to time. Her eyes were bright and enchanting.
In the end, Jianchen and You Yue arrived at a pavilion in the garden. The night breeze blew gently. Jianchen stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the schools of fish swimming in the lake. His luxurious white robes gently swayed in the breeze.
"Jianchen, is there something on your mind?" You Yue stared at Jianchen with bright eyes. She gently opened her mouth and exhaled.
"Yue 'er, I'm really sorry. I've made you wait all these years. However, I really have a lot of things to do right now …" Jianchen said apologetically. His heart was filled with guilt.
You Yue gently raised her arm and covered Jianchen's mouth with her slender fingers. She stopped Jianchen from continuing. She looked at Jianchen affectionately and said gently, "Jianchen, don't say anything. Yue 'er knows that you've had a hard time all these years. Although you seem to be very impressive on the surface, you've risked your life in exchange for this glory. You've always worked hard to increase your strength. You've walked on the edge of life and death countless times. Your days have been more difficult than anyone else's. The soul-stirring scenes you've experienced have far exceeded anyone's expectations.
"Jianchen, don't worry and go deal with your own matters. Although Yue 'er's strength is weak and can't help you much, Yue' er will silently wait for you here. Yue 'er will quietly stand behind you and follow your shadow, silently supporting you from behind."
Hearing this, Jianchen's gaze, which was originally looking at the fish in the lake, suddenly landed on You Yue's face. Looking at You Yue's beautiful and haggard face, his heart was deeply touched once again.
"Yue 'er …" Jianchen softly called out. He opened his arms and tightly hugged You Yue. Immediately, a faint fragrance entered Jianchen's nose. In addition to You Yue's exquisite figure, it immediately made Jianchen feel intoxicated.
Suddenly being embraced by Jianchen, You Yue's eyes clearly showed some panic. However, she quickly calmed down and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. She extended her arms to hug Jianchen's body and quietly leaned her head on Jianchen's shoulder. She slowly closed her eyes and carefully experienced this wonderful moment.
At this moment, You Yue felt as if she had the entire world. Being together with the person she loved the most, what could be more wonderful than this in the world?
After a moment, You Yue's gentle voice sounded, "Jianchen, I know you won't be staying in Changyang Prefecture for long. Can I tell you when you'll be leaving?"
Jianchen was silent for a moment and then said with difficulty, "Tomorrow!"
You Yue's delicate body clearly trembled. She looked at Jianchen with a face full of reluctance and said, "You just came back. Can't you stay at home for a few more days?"
Jianchen slowly nodded and said, "There are some things that I have to deal with as soon as possible."
You Yue's arms around Jianchen's body tightened. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Jianchen, Yue 'er wants to be with you. If there's no danger, let Yue' er go with you."
Hearing this, Jianchen's face revealed a hesitant expression. After thinking for a moment, he realized that what he was going to do next was not dangerous. In addition, Ruijin and Black Fish were by his side, as well as the double protection of the Eight Wastelands Divine Hall and the sacred tool. You Yue should not encounter any danger, so he simply agreed.
