"So, this is the first girlfriend that uncle Murong had mentioned?"
Ye Chen's eyes landed on the two girls. It was easy for him to tell who Murong Qingcheng's mother was, since they were mother and daughter after all. Both their looks and temperament were quite similar, which was something that could not be hidden. After knowing who Murong Qingcheng's mother was, the identity of the other girl would be obvious as well.
Su Ruhui saw Murong Zhishui's expression and made a face. But, she did not say anything. She stood together with Murong Qingcheng and started to talk in a low voice.
"It has been so many years. How have you been?"
For the past thirty years, Murong Zhishui had been wanting to say this. Today, he finally had the chance to say it. However, he did not know why he did not want to say it the first time he saw the girl. Saying it out loud was just a subconscious action.
The girl named Yan Xiner stayed silent for a while before nodding slightly.
A bitter smile appeared on Murong Zhishui's face, "Alright, as long as I am doing well. I have no regrets anymore. After separating from you, I was in so much pain until Ruhui appeared in front of me."
Hearing Murong Zhishui mention her name, Su Ruhui was a bit happy. She pretended that she did not hear anything and continued to talk with Murong Qingcheng.
Hearing him, Yan Xiner felt a bit uneasy for a second. It was this one second of uneasiness that had caught Ye Chen's attention. He could see the dissatisfaction, jealousy, and anger in her eyes, which did not match her beautiful appearance at all.
Glancing at Murong Zhishui, Ye Chen thought to himself, 'Uncle, I am afraid that your first girlfriend has changed.'
"Sister-in-law, this is your future niece-in-law. Her name is Murong Qingcheng." Right then, Yuwen Jin suddenly spoke. The reason why he called Yan Xiner his sister-in-law was because she had married his second brother, Yuwen Xiong. Yuwen Xiong was not in the Yuwen family right now, as he had gone out for some business. He would only be back in two to three months. Originally, that would be the day of Yuwen Ye's wedding, but it had been brought forward by three months.
Yan Xiner moved her eyes away from Murong Zhishui and landed on Murong Qingcheng, who was standing next to Su Ruhui. A surprised expression flashed through her face, since it was the first time she had seen Murong Qingcheng. She had to admit that this girl's appearance and temperament were extremely rare. There should be people who were as beautiful as her, but she had never seen or heard of anyone who was more beautiful than her. Xuanhou might be able to surpass her, but Xuanhou was still a Life and Death Realm warrior after all.
This was Shisui and his daughter!
Yan Xiner squeezed her lips, then laughed and said, "Brother, Ye is quite lucky to have such a beautiful fiancee. Together with him, they would be a perfect match. As his second aunt, I am happy for him as well. Oh right, why don't we continue with the wedding?"
Yuwen Jin glanced at Murong Zhishui, "Someone did not agree, so I could not do anything about it. Ye and Hao were wounded as well, and they are still unconscious."
"Who dares to wound Ye and Hao?" Yan Xiner flicked her eyebrows.
"Indeed, it is me."
Ye Chen did not need to wait for her to say it out, so he just admitted it himself.
Yan Xiner glanced at Ye Chen, "Do you know that the members of the demi demon family will not marry outsiders? So, it is impossible for you and her to be together. If you just let it go, it would be good for both sides. Why do you have to break up a couple?"
"Whether they are a couple or not, you should be clear about it. If they are a couple, then no one would be able to break them up. If they are not a couple, then there is no need to break them up, since they were separated in the first place. I was only doing what I was supposed to do. The one who should let it go should be the Yuwen family."
Yan Xiner said lightly, "No one is meant to be together. There has to be a process of getting to know each other. Both of them have the perfect demi demon bloodline, so they will be attracted to each other in the future. But, that is, if you do not come and ruin it."
Ye Chen could not help but laugh. This woman was a bit unreasonable, "Based on what you have said, a man and a woman would be a couple. On the other hand, breaking up a couple and putting one of them together with another person with a different surname would also make them a couple. So, what you have said is basically nothing."
"You are quite eloquent. But, you seem to have forgotten that they had already set the wedding date two years ago, and you are an outsider."
Ye Chen glanced at Murong Zhishui, "This wedding date was forced by the Yuwen family. You should know about it. So, I will not explain it to you."
Yan Xiner sucked in a deep breath. She had underestimated Ye Chen a bit. This young man was not as simple as he looked. His tone was very calm, but it was sharp like a sword qi.
Looking over at Murong Zhishui, Yan Xiner frowned, "Are you still angry about what happened back then? Actually, it is all in the past now. No matter what, it will not go back. If you do not want your daughter to marry into the Yuwen family because of this, then you do not have to."
Murong Zhishui looked a bit surprised, as if he could not believe that these words were coming out of Yan Xiner's mouth. Somehow, he seemed to have understood something, so he said, "I would not joke about my daughter's happiness. If my daughter and the Yuwen family people were in love, then I would not say anything and agree right away. But, if it was forced, then I, as her father, would definitely not just stand there and watch it."
"You really think so?"
Yan Xiner did not seem to believe him.
Murong Zhishui said with a clear look, "Of course."
"About what happened back then, do you still hate me?"
"Of course, I do, but that kind of feeling has faded away a long time ago. Just like you said, it is all in the past now. No matter what, it will not go back. Plus, Ruhui and I are living a good life. Losing her would be the most painful thing for me. Therefore, what happened back then has nothing to do with this."
Su Ruhui did not open her mouth the whole time. When the man was talking, the woman would just stand there and watch. Even if the love rival was right in front of her, she would still have to endure it. Hearing Murong Zhishui's last sentence, her face lit up. The knot in her heart seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden, and her whole body felt relaxed. All these years, she had always known that there was someone else in Murong Zhishui's heart. She had been troubled and frustrated before. This time, she had gone to the Yuwen family with her daughter just to see that woman. When she saw her, she secretly compared herself to her and thought that she would not be weaker than her.
Right now, after hearing Murong Zhishui's words, she also realized that there was indeed someone else in Murong Zhishui's heart. But, just like her, it was a knot in his heart. Actually, there was no longer any feelings, only memories. Now that they had seen each other, and both of them had changed, the memories had disappeared naturally, and the knot in his heart had disappeared as well. She knew clearly that from now on, she would be the only one in Murong Zhishui's heart.
Without any reason, Su Ruhui was glad that the two of them had met. If they had not met, she did not know how much longer she would have been troubled.
Yan Xiner's expression suddenly looked a bit bad for no reason at all. No one knew why she was upset, or why she would be upset after hearing one sentence from Murong Zhishui.
Back in the day, she and Murong Zhishui were indeed in love with each other, and it was very sweet until Yuwen Xiong fell in love with her. To be honest, she did not dislike Yuwen Xiong at all. Therefore, she had been moved once. When she was being pressured by the Yuwen family, other than the reluctance to let go of Murong Zhishui, there was nothing else.
After marrying into the Yuwen family, her status had risen drastically. She had been living a pampered life, and after a long time, her mentality had changed. Occasionally, she would hear that Murong Zhishui's cultivation had improved drastically after they had parted ways. He was just a slightly talented martial genius, but now, he had grown into a famous martial genius. She was secretly happy about it. The man she used to be, and the man she was with right now, were both very talented. It was her happiness to be fought over by the two of them.
This time, she thought that she would be able to see Murong Zhishui's unwilling expression, as well as his love for her. But, she was disappointed. Besides the excitement of meeting him for the first time, the rest of his expression was very calm. Hearing that he had already forgotten about what had happened in the past, she could not help but feel angry.
This kind of anger was like having her toy taken away by someone else.
Her eyes turned cold as she said, "Could you please give me some face and not stop this marriage? Actually, it is a good thing for your daughter to marry into the Yuwen family. Only by joining the Yuwen family will she be able to get more resources and achieve more."
"Why do you want my daughter to marry into the Yuwen family? Is it because they are the main family of the demi demon race?" Murong Zhishui asked back.
Yan Xiner froze a bit, "Is it not good to marry into the Yuwen family?"
"You have changed!"
Murong Zhishui looked at Yan Xiner deeply, "I do not recognize you anymore." Taking a deep breath, he said with determination, "I will not agree to this marriage. My daughter's happiness will be decided by herself. No one can interfere, including myself."
"You are so stubborn!"
Yan Xiner was a bit annoyed.
"Yes, I am stubborn. But, as long as my family is happy, what is wrong with being stubborn?"
"I have already begged you like this. Are you really not going to give me any face at all? Just for the sake of what happened in the past?"
The perfect demi demon bloodline was very important to the Yuwen family. Otherwise, she would not have begged Murong Zhishui like this. Murong Zhishui's heartlessness had made her hate him.
"Impossible!"
Murong Zhishui said with certainty.
"You …"
Yan Xiner bit on her teeth as she pointed at Ye Chen and said with a cold voice, "Murong Zhishui, do not forget that the members of the demi demon family are only allowed to marry within the family. Are you trying to break the rule of the demi demon family by bringing him here?"
"I do not know about their future. I only know that my daughter does not want to marry into the Yuwen family, and no one can force her to do so."
"Huh!"
Yuwen Jin sneered, "How do you know that your daughter does not want to marry into the Yuwen family? Perhaps you are the mastermind behind this."
"Just ask right now."
Murong Zhishui looked a bit gloomy. After he finished talking, he turned his head to look at Murong Qingcheng, "Qingcheng, are you willing to marry into the Yuwen family, to Yuwen Jin's son, Yuwen Ye? If not, just say it. They will not do anything to you."
Murong Qingcheng was about to say no when Yuwen Jin sent a message to her, "Little girl, to be honest, I have high hopes for you. Your talent is no weaker than Ye's. If you train it well, you will be able to become a Life and Death Realm warrior in the future. Therefore, marrying into our Yuwen family would be the best choice for you. Don't say no yet. Your mother has already been poisoned by the Shadowless Poison, which you should know about. This kind of poison is invisible and untraceable, and there is no way to find out about it. Naturally, there is no way to cure it. Even Life and Death Realm warriors might not be able to cure it. There is only one antidote. If you say no, I will destroy it right on the spot, and your mother will die because of you.
"Think about it carefully. Do not disappoint me and your mother."
Hearing him, Murong Qingcheng's expression changed drastically. She was shocked and angry. She looked at her mother, then looked at Ye Chen. She seemed to be struggling.
At the same time, Ye Chen's expression changed as well. His silver pupils were cold and emotionless.
