"What do you think of my suggestion, Sect Leader Ye?" Lu Yuan asked with a smile.
Ye Lingsu was speechless.
"Oh, Sect Leader Ye's standards are so high? Even the Frenzy Rhino Douluo isn't good enough for you? "
Lu Yuan sized Ye Lingsu up. "Sect Leader Ye, although you have a great figure and a beautiful face, don't forget that you're a married woman with a child. The Frenzy Rhino Douluo is more than enough for you. Don't ask for too much."
"I, I'm not …" Ye Lingsu hurriedly tried to explain after hearing Lu Yuan's words. However, she was interrupted by Lu Yuan before she could finish.
"No, no what? Don't tell me you don't look down on the Frenzy Rhino Douluo, Sect Leader Ye?" Lu Yuan asked.
"I, I really don't mean that. It's just that …"
"Just what? Just that you don't like the Frenzy Rhino Douluo? " Lu Yuan tapped his chin. "That's possible. After all, the Frenzy Rhino Douluo isn't very good-looking. If Sect Leader Ye is someone who likes good looks, then he really won't be good enough for you."
"In terms of looks, among the Titled Douluo of the Dragon King Palace, Uncle Yan and Elder Long are quite good-looking. Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to Uncle Yan, Sect Leader Ye? Although Uncle Yan has been married before, you've also been married before. It's not impossible for the two of you to be together."
Lu Yuan tapped his fingers on the table, making a tapping sound as he spoke softly.
"If Sect Leader Ye really likes Uncle Yan, I can help you two get together." Lu Yuan smiled as he looked at Ye Lingsu.
"Uh, thank you for your kind intentions, Palace Leader Lu. However, there's no need for that. I don't have any feelings for the Bright Phoenix Douluo." Ye Lingsu rejected his offer.
"Oh? I didn't expect Sect Leader Ye to have such high standards. Even Uncle Yan isn't good enough for you. "
Lu Yuan clicked his tongue and sighed. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. A look of shock appeared on his face. He looked at Ye Lingsu in disbelief.
"Could it be that Sect Master Ye has taken a fancy to Elder Long? Elder Long may look like he's in his sixties or seventies, but he's actually more than two hundred years old. His son, Yan Shaozhe, or Uncle Yan, is already more than eighty years old. You're actually interested in him? "
"Sigh, the world is really degenerating with each passing day. The hearts of the people are no longer what they used to be."
Lu Yuan sighed softly. There was a tinge of melancholy in his voice. It was as if he was lamenting about how society was deteriorating. He also seemed to be extremely displeased and hurt that Ye Lingsu had taken a liking to Long Xiaoyao.
"Palace Master Lu, no, I didn't." Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ye Lingsu panicked and tried to explain herself. However, she was too agitated and did not know what to say.
She suddenly sat down, and a layer of mist could not help but condense in her pair of beautiful big eyes. "The people outside bully us orphans and widows, but I didn't expect that Palace Master Lu would also deliberately make fun of me here."
Ye Lingsu's voice sounded like she was about to cry. Her tone was filled with grievance. Even though she was scheming and had some tricks up her sleeves, she was still a woman. Furthermore, she was a woman who had lost her husband. Even though she was strong, she was still weak.
Lu Yuan's words could be said to have shattered Ye Lingsu's mental fortitude. Thinking about the sufferings that she and her daughter had gone through all these years, she could not help but feel sad. She wanted to cry uncontrollably.
"Isn't that because you played tricks in front of me first, Sect Master Ye? I sincerely negotiated with Sect Master Ye, but Sect Master Ye, you played tricks on me in every possible way. I am also a human, and I also have a temper."
After hearing Ye Lingsu's words, Lu Yuan's expression changed. The shock on his face disappeared without a trace. He regained his composure.
Ye Lingsu glanced at Lu Yuan. The mist in her eyes was still gathering.
"Alright, stop crying. I hate seeing women cry the most."
"Wipe it!" A light flashed in Lu Yuan's hand. A clean handkerchief appeared in Lu Yuan's hand. He threw it to Ye Lingsu.
Ye Lingsu took the handkerchief. She glanced at Lu Yuan with tears in her eyes. Then, she picked up the handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
"People treat me with sincerity, and I treat them with sincerity. However, if anyone wants to play tricks on me, I won't be lenient. Don't judge me by my young age. In terms of scheming, not many people can compare to me. Even Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect doesn't dare to play tricks in front of me."
"Sect Master Ye, you're the first person I've met who dares to seduce me with beauty and act pitiful in front of me."
Looking at Ye Lingsu, whose eyes were still red after wiping away her tears, Lu Yuan said faintly.
"I know what you're thinking and I can understand. After all, you're a woman who's been oppressed. Naturally, you'll be more vigilant."
"You're worried that the Dragon King Palace will be like other sects. On the surface, they're just trying to rope in the Nine Hearted Begonia Sect. However, they're secretly trying to swallow your entire sect. Therefore, you simply want to marry your daughter to me. When the time comes, we'll become a family. Even if I have any bad intentions, I won't do it for the sake of my in-laws."
"On the contrary, I'll do my best to ensure the continuation of the Nine Hearted Begonia Sect. At the same time, you can use the power of the Dragon King Palace to spread the fame of the Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Spirit. It's killing two birds with one stone."
"Although I've gained your loyalty, you've already become my mother-in-law. After all, you're my elder. Even if I have any tasks for you, I can't assign you to do them."
"In this way, the Nine Hearted Begonia Sect will be protected and your status will be greatly improved. Moreover, you won't have to pay any price. It's a win-win situation. Although Ye Lingling's actions are small, compared to these benefits, it's not a big deal."
"What do you think, Sect Master Ye? Am I right?"
Lu Yuan tapped the table lightly, looked at Ye Lingsu, and asked plainly.
Hearing this, Ye Lingsu kept silent. She did have such thoughts in her heart. Of course, in addition to these, she was really satisfied with Lu Yuan. Marrying Ye Lingling to Lu Yuan was indeed a good choice.
Even now, she still felt the same way.
Even the more outstanding Lu Yuan's performance was, the stronger her thoughts were.
Looking at the silent Ye Lingsu, Lu Yuan smiled and said again, "I'll let go of the tricks Sect Master Ye played just now. The conditions are the same as before. Moreover, I can assure you that the Dragon King Palace will not take anything from the Nine Hearted Begonia Sect. Of course, that's all. It's impossible to ask for more."
"With these conditions, I'll ask Sect Master Ye one last time. Are you willing to join the Dragon King Palace? If you're willing, I'll naturally welcome you. If you're not, I'll see you out now. There are only two choices. What's your answer?"
Lu Yuan said softly as he stared at Ye Lingsu.
Looking at Lu Yuan's strong gaze, Ye Lingsu sighed in her heart. She opened her red lips and said plainly, "I'm willing to join the Dragon King Palace!"
