Granny You suspected that Han Yunxi was a martial arts trash. She was just curious and wanted to confirm her suspicions, not humiliate Han Yunxi.
Seeing Han Yunxi refuse, Granny You didn't press the issue.
"Auntie You, please," Long Fei Ye poured her a cup of tea.
"Your master didn't punish you for what happened between you and Yao Yao, right?" Granny You probed. Based on her understanding of Cang Qiuzi, things couldn't be that simple. Even if Cang Qiuzi wasn't in cahoots with Duanmu Yao, he wouldn't be so kind as to save her for nothing.
"She was in the wrong in the first place, so there's no reason to punish me."
Long Fei Ye changed the subject. "Auntie You, I have a favor to ask of you."
"You're too polite. What is it? Speak freely," Granny You's heart gave a start. This guy actually knows how to ask for favors?
"Can Yunxi stay with me at the Abstinence Hall for a month while I'm being punished?" Long Fei Ye asked tactfully.
Granny You didn't reply immediately. She knew that this was a heavy responsibility. If Han Yunxi stayed at the Abstinence Hall for a month, the Abstinence Hall would have to guarantee her safety.
Cang Qiuzi and Duanmu Yao would definitely seize the chance to cause trouble for Han Yunxi. In other words, Long Fei Ye was asking the Abstinence Hall to help him deal with Cang Qiuzi and Duanmu Yao.
As long as she stayed at the Abstinence Hall, Granny You had ways to protect her. But she wanted to know what Long Fei Ye was planning this time on Celestial Mountain.
If he could kill Cloud Realm Continent's fifth-ranked expert Lady Leng Yue in three moves, his martial arts had to be superior to her and the other two elders. But how far was he from Cang Qiuzi's level?
"Feiye, be honest with me. How long are you planning to stay this time?" Granny You probed.
The Abstinence Hall never got involved in conflicts between factions, so it was impossible to rope them in. But Long Fei Ye trusted that Granny You would be willing to help if it was for the sake of eliminating Cang Qiuzi and his ilk. Over the years, Cang Qiuzi had pretended to obey orders while secretly opposing them. His hand covered the sky and violated sect rules multiple times. If Granny You had enough evidence, would she have allowed him to run rampant for so long?
"After the ranking tournament and the Heavenly Sword Conference," Long Fei Ye replied.
These two events would directly affect the strength of the factions on Tianshan Mountain. It was equivalent to a chance for the various factions to reshuffle their cards.
Granny You had an idea of what was going on. She replied resolutely, "Alright! As long as she doesn't sneak out on her own, this old woman will guarantee her safety. "
Long Feiye clasped his hands and bowed. "Many thanks."
Han Yunxi sat at the side, glancing at Long Fei Ye and then at Granny You. Somehow, she felt like she had caused trouble for them. She was depressed. Why was she a martial arts trash?
After chatting for a while, Kenzō's old man came over.
As soon as he entered, Granny You and Long Fei Ye rose to pay their respects. Han Yunxi did the same.
Kenzō's old man didn't spare her a glance, but simply said to Granny You, "Go to the Abstinence Hall. This esteemed one will follow him in and give him a few words."
Once inside, no one was allowed to leave until their sentence was complete. Nor were they allowed any visitors. Kenzō's old man had come personally to undo Long Fei Ye's Lustbite Seal.
If not for this, he would have been busy trying to save Duanmu Yao by now.
Granny You wasn't sure of the details, but she knew that Kenzō's old man had more than a few words to say. Perhaps the sect leader would deal with Long Fei Ye once he returned.
Granny You didn't ask any questions, but silently made up her mind. No matter what, she wouldn't allow anyone to disturb Long Fei Ye this month, much less target Han Yunxi.
"Of course we have to go to the Abstinence Hall. But, senior brother, the two of them have been waiting for you for ages. They're inviting you to tea," Granny You smiled.
Kenzō's old man didn't understand, so he shot Long Fei Ye a questioning look.
Breaking the Lustbite Seal tonight was no trifling matter, so where did this brat find the time to waste his time drinking tea?
He assumed that the brat had long settled Han Yunxi down and was waiting for him at the Abstinence Hall.
"Master, disciple brought Yunxi up the mountain this time just to offer you tea. Master was in closed door cultivation during the wedding, so I'm here to make up for your absence. "
As Long Fei Ye spoke, he personally poured a cup of tea for Han Yunxi. "Please, master, have some tea."
In other words, he wanted Han Yunxi to address Kenzō's old man as "master."
Han Yunxi accepted the cup and strode towards Kenzō's old man. But Kenzō's old man didn't say a word. Still, he refused to look at Han Yunxi, but stared Cold at Long Fei Ye.
It was obvious that the sudden tea offering had made him very unhappy!
Still, this wasn't unexpected. Han Yunxi was Long Fei Ye's official consort, so it was only right and proper for her to offer tea to her master. Could it be that Kenzō's old man had other thoughts about his "official consort"?
In Cloud Realm Continent's wedding customs, offering tea was a very important etiquette. It was a sign of the elders' acceptance of the newlyweds.
Only the official wife and official consort had the right to offer tea to the elders. Concubines and secondary consorts didn't even need to be welcomed into the house, much less offer tea. A sedan chair could be carried in through the side doors.
Long Fei Ye brought Han Yunxi to see Kenzō's old man to "meet the parents," but also for the old man to acknowledge Han Yunxi's status. To put it bluntly, he wanted to tell the old man to stop shoving Han Yunxi into his hands.
In the silence of the room, Han Yunxi walked step by step towards Kenzō's old man, tea in hand.
Kenzō's old man and Long Fei Ye stared at each other. This was the first time master and disciple had been so hostile towards each other. Granny You, on the other hand, was looking at Han Yunxi with amusement.
Han Yunxi took note of Kenzō's reaction.
She had always known that the old man wanted to play matchmaker with Long Fei Ye, but only when it came to offering tea did she truly understand the old man's intentions.
As it turned out, the old man still refused to acknowledge her status as the Duke of Qin's official consort. He even wanted Duanmu Yao to take the position.
Han Yunxi's lips quirked up into a cold smile. Forget about being the official consort, Duanmu Yao shouldn't even dream of becoming a secondary consort or a servant girl!
Her steps grew firmer and more forceful. Perhaps Kenzō's old man would refuse her in front of everyone. Perhaps he wouldn't even refuse her and would simply leave. Perhaps she'd be embarrassed.
But she had to offer this cup of tea no matter what!
She wasn't forcing Kenzō's old man to acknowledge her status. Instead, she was making her status clear to him.
Han Yunxi walked in front of Kenzō's old man and knelt down without hesitation, saying loudly, "The Duke of Qin's official consort, Han Yunxi, invites Master to drink tea."
Kenzō's old man was unmoved. He continued to stare at Long Fei Ye. Only the master and disciple knew how much conflict was hidden in their gazes.
"Master, please drink tea!" Han Yunxi invited again.
Kenzō's old man still ignored her, and the room was eerily silent.
"Master, please drink tea!"
Han Yunxi begged a third time, but the old man still ignored her. Long Fei Ye's gaze turned cold. Kenzō's old man narrowed his eyes, emitting a dangerous aura.
Even Granny You, who was watching from the side, was a little nervous. Kenzō's old man rarely got angry, but once he did, the consequences were unimaginable.
Han Yunxi might even be chased off Tianshan Mountain.
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi suddenly stood up and placed the cup of tea on the low table next to Kenzō's old man. She bowed slightly and walked back to Long Fei Ye's side.
This …
Kenzō's old man was clearly stunned. He finally looked at Han Yunxi. Granny You almost laughed out loud. She could tell that Han Yunxi was a stubborn person. She wouldn't cry or beg. She thought that Han Yunxi would kneel and refuse to get up.
But who knew that after the third time, this girl would put the tea aside and refuse to kneel.
What was the meaning of this?
Was she telling Kenzō's old man that she had already offered the tea and that he could drink it if he wanted, but if he didn't, then so be it.
The sight of Han Yunxi standing by Long Feiye's side with a calm expression suddenly made Granny You like the girl. She sighed inwardly in the letter. "What a pity, what a pity. If only this girl wasn't a good-for-nothing."
Kenzō's old man quickly recovered from his shock and picked up the cup of tea.
To drink it or to return it, it was a matter of thought.
Kenzō's old man held the cup of tea and didn't move for a long time. No one knew what he would do, but it was obvious that he had no intention of drinking it.
"Master, if you don't drink this cup of tea, your disciple won't be at ease," Long Fei Ye said.
Granny You didn't understand this, and neither did Han Yunxi.
Only the master and disciple duo knew that if Kenzō's old man didn't drink the tea, Long Fei Ye wouldn't be at ease. Then he wouldn't be able to focus on his closed door cultivation to control the Lustbite energy.
That's right, Long Fei Ye was threatening Kenzō's old man.
Everyone said that a mother's status depended on her son. Actually, as long as the husband was strong enough and had you in his heart, you didn't need to use your child as a weapon. A wife's status depended on her husband!
Han Yunxi only dared to offer the tea and set it aside because Long Fei Ye was standing right behind her, supporting her.
Kenzō's old man gripped the teacup so tightly that it almost shattered, but he still yielded in the end.
Many years ago, he had forced Feiye to promise to protect Yao Yao for the rest of her life, but the brat refused. That was the first time master and disciple had gotten into a fight.
In the end, master and disciple both yielded a step and Feiye only promised to protect Yao Yao until she turned 18. The current Long Fei Ye was no longer the Long Fei Ye of the past, so he wouldn't yield again.
Kenzō sighed to himself. Only now did he realize that his beloved disciple had grown up.
Actually, he didn't want to break up Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi's hearts, but he loved Yao Yao too much and didn't want her to feel wronged. If Yao Yao became the first wife and Han Yunxi the concubine, that would be the best outcome. He had to admit that Han Yunxi's personality and intelligence far surpassed Yao Yao's. Unfortunately, she was useless at martial arts.
At a time like this, Kenzō didn't want to stir up trouble. After all, Feiye would one day become emperor, so Yao Yao would have a chance to become his empress.
He downed his tea in one gulp and said Coldly, "You don't even know martial arts, so you can call him 'Honored Master' like the other disciples."
In other words, a useless trash like her didn't have the right to call him master like Long Fei Ye.
Han Yunxi bowed gracefully. "Yes, Honored Master."
Honored Master was far inferior to her master's father, but at least Kenzō had accepted her status by drinking the tea.
Since she wasn't destined to be liked by Kenzō, Han Yunxi didn't want to get close to this Honored Master, nor did she want to curry favor with him, much less become his disciple.
Trash was trash, so be it. She was still living well, overcoming all difficulties, slaying demons and eliminating devils. She had Long Fei Ye and Lil Thing, so what did she have to fear?
The tea could be considered a toast.
Granny You led the way while Long Fei Ye formally entered closed door cultivation …
