"Did he really say that?" Tian Xue and Tian Xing returned to Tianshan Sect. After relaying Cheng Yu's words to Yu Lingzi, Yu Lingzi immediately frowned.
"Martial Uncle, Senior Brother Cheng Yu is too smart. The moment we spoke, he knew that it was you who wanted us to ask.
Therefore, he directly indicated that if we wanted to ask, he would give us an answer. If you want to ask, then you have to personally ask! "Tian Xing explained.
"What answer did he give you?" Yu Lingzi enquired curiously.
"He told us that it was to ensure the safety of Cheng Family. We mustn't expose Cheng Family's strength to the outside world. "Tian Xing replied.
"So what he meant was that this answer was specially prepared for you?" Yu Lingzi enquired.
"It should be so. He said that different people asking would give different answers. Therefore, this answer was specially prepared for us. If it was Martial Uncle asking, the answer would be different. "Tian Xing replied.
"En!" Yu Lingzi nodded. He looked at Tian Xue, only to see her not speaking a single word. Her eyes were in a daze.
"Tian Xue, what's wrong? Why aren't you speaking? "Yu Lingzi enquired.
"Nothing! Martial Uncle! "Tian Xue awoke as she shook her head.
"Did you talk to Cheng Yu about you two?" Yu Lingzi enquired.
When Tian Xue heard this, she turned silent once again.
"Before Senior Sister left, I did mention it to Senior Brother Cheng Yu. But Senior Brother Cheng Yu he …" Seeing Tian Xue didn't speak, Tian Xing continued.
But halfway through his sentence, he didn't know what else to say.
"He rejected?" Yu Lingzi saw the duo's expression and had already guessed the result.
"More or less!" Tian Xing replied helplessly.
"He doesn't like Tian Xue?" Yu Lingzi continued to question.
"He didn't say that. He only said that he had always treated us as his siblings. He also said that it would be better for us to maintain our current relationship. There's no need to break anything! "Tian Xing replied.
If it was any other time, if Senior Brother Cheng Yu were to say such words to him, he would definitely be very touched.
But at that moment, he was extremely sad for Senior Sister Tian Xue.
In his heart, Tian Xue was like his blood related elder sister while Cheng Yu was like his elder brother. Senior Sister Tian Xue liked Senior Brother Cheng Yu so much. He also hoped that Senior Sister would be able to fulfill her wish of marrying Senior Brother Cheng Tian.
However, he knew that Senior Brother Cheng Yu's words were equivalent to indirectly rejecting his Senior Sister's confession. Naturally, he felt extremely regretful.
"Sigh! Tian Xue, since Cheng Yu isn't willing to marry you, just let it go. In fact, there were many outstanding youths in this world.
Didn't that Cangling Sect's Zou Yan quite like you? Furthermore, he was Master Ashen Pine's eldest direct disciple. In the future, he would definitely take over Cangling Sect.
Why don't I go and discuss with Master Ashen Pine to help you settle this marriage? "Yu Lingzi looked at Tian Xue's sorrowful expression, and his heart didn't feel good.
Tian Xue was the daughter of his Junior Sister, Elder Yu Xuan. He had watched her grow up, and she was like his own daughter.
He had seen how she had liked Cheng Yu for so many years.
However, Cheng Yu wasn't a mortal. Currently, he was their Tianshan Sect's upper sect master.
If Tian Xue was able to get together with Cheng Yu, he would naturally be the happiest.
But now that Cheng Yu wasn't willing, he had no other choice. After all, Cheng Yu's status was higher than him. As a Sect Master, Cheng Yu didn't even place him in his eyes.
Although Cheng Yu was the best candidate for Tian Xue, it was a pity that Tian Xue didn't have this fate.
He also didn't wish for Tian Xue to continue wasting her time like this and miss out on such a good time.
Since he couldn't be together with Cheng Yu, he could only settle for the next best thing. If he was able to form a marriage alliance with Cangling Sect, it might not be a bad thing.
"Martial Uncle, don't say anymore. Feelings can't be forced. Since it's impossible for me and Cheng Yu to be together, I also don't wish to casually marry someone else. Martial Nephew shall take my leave first! "When Tian Xue heard Yu Lingzi's words, she felt extremely conflicted. She stood up and left in a hurry.
"Aish!" Looking at Tian Xue's back, Yu Lingzi could only shake his head and sigh.
In his heart, he was thinking that he might have to discuss this matter with Junior Sister Yu Xuan. He couldn't possibly let Tian Xue remain unmarried for the rest of her life just because of this matter.
"Martial Uncle, disciple shall take his leave first!" Tian Xing saluted.
"Wait!"
"Martial Uncle, is there anything else?"
"Do you feel that if I were to head over to Cheng Family, Cheng Yu would really give me an answer?" Yu Lingzi pondered before asking.
"This … Since Senior Brother Cheng Yu said so, I believe he should be able to answer. But …" Tian Xing was stunned. He didn't expect Martial Uncle would actually ask such a question.
Could it be that he was really intending to head over to Cheng Family to ask?
"But what? Could there be something wrong? "Yu Lingzi saw Tian Xing was hesitating, so he asked.
"Martial Uncle, I just feel that what you are doing is meaningless." Tian Xing hesitated for a moment before replying.
"Why is there no meaning?"
"Senior Brother Cheng Yu had told us that as long as Tianshan Sect is Cheng Family's subordinate sect, Cheng Yu will protect Tianshan Sect. You don't have to worry.
If … if … "However, Tian Xing didn't dare to continue his sentence.
Just now when they returned, they only told Martial Uncle that Cheng Yu wanted him to inquire personally. However, they didn't tell him everything Cheng Yu had said.
Because he felt that the latter part of Cheng Yu's words were somewhat impolite. If he were to say it out, it might cause Martial Uncle to feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, when he spoke till here, he truly didn't know if he should say out the latter part of Senior Brother Cheng Yu's words.
"If what? If you have something to say, just say it! Could it be that you have heard something and still want to hide it from Martial Uncle? "Yu Lingzi saw Tian Xing acting like this, so he spoke in dissatisfaction.
"Martial Uncle, it's just that some words aren't so nice to hear. I'm afraid you might feel uncomfortable after hearing it!" Yu Lingzi spoke in fear.
"What kind of storms and waves has your Martial Uncle not seen before? What kind of malicious words has he not heard before? Don't tell me that he would still care about a few words from the Cheng Clan? Tell me everything he said without moving!" Yu Lingzi said solemnly.
"Alright. Senior Brother Cheng Yu said that if Martial Uncle's worries were due to other thoughts, then it's best to think it through.
Humans die for wealth, birds die for food. What he hates the most is betrayal. Don't ever do anything that he can't forgive. Not everything can be salvaged.
That's all! "Tian Xing truthfully spoke out what Cheng Yu had said previously.
Sure enough, after Tian Xing spoke out everything, Yu Lingzi's complexion turned somewhat unsightly.
"Are you sure there's nothing else?" Yu Lingzi enquired.
"Indeed, that's all!" Tian Xing nodded.
"I got it. You can leave first!" Yu Lingzi waved his hand.
"Martial Uncle, I'll take my leave first!" Tian Xing left after speaking.
"If it's really so, seems like there's a problem here. Otherwise, why would Cheng Yu get Tian Xing to pass me such words?" Yu Lingzi's complexion turned unsightly because Cheng Yu's words were very impolite.
But when he recalled Cheng Yu's words, he felt that Cheng Yu seemed to have discovered the problem. Therefore, Cheng Yu was reminding him not to choose the wrong path.
"If that's the case, seems like Cheng Yu is also guarding against all the lower sects. Since he had already made it so clear, there's no longer a need for me to head over to the Cheng Family.
But should I remind them of this? "Yu Lingzi paced back and forth in the main hall. His thoughts were extremely complicated.
From the previous few sect masters' words, it was obvious that they had some ulterior motives.
If something were to happen to the Cheng Family, these people would think that they could profit from it.
But now, he already knew that Cheng Yu had already taken precautions against them. If these people were to profit from the Cheng Family's mishap, they wouldn't have a good ending.
After all, Tian Xing's words were very clear. What Cheng Yu hated the most was betrayal.
If he were to know that those lower sects had betrayed him, Cheng Yu would definitely not let them off.
If he were to communicate with the other sects, perhaps, they might not dare to profit from the Cheng Family's mishap.
However, what benefits would this bring to their Tianshan Sect?
"If I don't say it, would I be too immoral? It's fine if it's other sects, but Master Ashen Pine has been my good friend for so many years. Should I remind him? "Yu Lingzi's current mood was very complicated.
From the previous conversation between him and Master Ashen Pine, he knew that Master Ashen Pine's thoughts were no different from Shushan Sect. They were also planning to walk the same path.
However, he knew that Cheng Yu was definitely not a kind person, nor was he a stupid person. It could even be said that he was an extremely intelligent person, even smarter than them.
It was precisely because of this, not only did the Cheng Family not decline in the chaos, they had risen up amidst the reign of terror.
Since Cheng Yu had told Tian Xing such words, he also believed that if those sects were to betray Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu would definitely not let them live.
Without the existence of those sects, it might be a good opportunity for his Tianshan Sect to rise up.
"En. Cheng Yu's words cannot be heard by others. However, Master Ashen Pine and I have been friends for so many years. No matter what, I have to remind him.
If he still isn't willing to listen to my advice, then don't blame me for not pulling his Cangling Sect out! " Yu Lingzi considered it over and over again. In the end, he still felt that with so many sentiments here, he still wanted to pull Cangling Sect out.
If Master Ashen Pine were to court death, he wouldn't be able to pull him out. If so, there was nothing much to say.
