Two hours later, Yi Yun did not know what choice the Clarity Pool Sword Sect would make. After all, the lives of every member of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect were at stake. If the Clarity Pool Sword Sect decided to hand him over, Yi Yun would not blame anyone. The Clarity Pool Sword Sect had no obligation to protect him. Besides, his life had been saved by Jian Wufeng.
At that moment, Yi Yun was feeling tormented. From the bottom of his heart, he did not wish for the Clarity Pool Sword Sect to risk its very existence because of him.
Strength was all because of strength. If he was strong, his fate would not be in the hands of others.
"Senior, I do not wish for so many people in the Clarity Pool Sword Sect to be put in danger because of me," said Yi Yun as he cupped his fists at Jian Wufeng.
Jian Wufeng patted Yi Yun on the shoulder and consoled him, "Yi Yun, don't worry. My Clarity Pool Sword Sect's ancient array is not that easily cracked."
Jian Wufeng was very confident in the Clarity Pool Sword Sect's ancient array. If not for the ancient array, he would not have dared to take the risk to save Yi Yun. If the Clarity Pool Sword Sect were to be destroyed because of this, he would be a sinner.
"Sorry for giving you trouble, Senior."
What else could Yi Yun say at that moment? He was determined to raise his strength as quickly as possible.
"Haha, Yi Yun, you don't have to feel guilty. A sect's most important heritage is its heritage. You sparring with my Clarity Pool Sword Sect disciples and improving together is the greatest help to my Clarity Pool Sword Sect. Besides, although my Clarity Pool Sword Sect is besieged, there are still teleportation arrays that lead outside. If we are careful, we can still leave. "
Jian Wufeng said optimistically.
Jian Buyi's expression turned slightly heavy. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Moments later, Jian Buyi said, "Yi Yun, come with me. Let's discuss some matters."
"Alright."
…
The Azure Sword Loft was the Clarity Pool Sword Sect's back palace. It was Jian Buyi's private residence. Yi Yun never expected to come to Jian Buyi's residence to discuss some matters.
And when Yi Yun arrived at the Azure Sword Loft, he realized that Jian Buyi was not the only one there. Jian Wufeng and Jian Xiaoshuang were also there.
At that moment, Jian Wufeng was chatting with Jian Buyi. Upon seeing Yi Yun enter, the worried Jian Buyi finally revealed a smile.
"Yi Yun, have a seat. Xiaoshuang, brew a cup of tea for Senior Brother Yi."
Senior Brother Yi?
Yi Yun faltered for a moment, but he soon found it normal. In a warrior's world, it was not only fellow disciples that would address each other as Senior Brother. People with higher cultivation levels than them would often address each other as Senior Brother.
"Ah?" Jian Xiaoshuang did not seem to react immediately. After a while, she held a cup of tea with a blush and cautiously placed it in front of Yi Yun.
"Senior Brother Yi … please have some tea."
Jian Xiaoshuang was a little thin-skinned, so she said the words' Senior Brother Yi 'in a very bashful manner.
Yi Yun looked at Jian Xiaoshuang's blushing face and was somewhat dumbfounded. He remembered the first time he saw Jian Xiaoshuang. She was holding a sword and her hair was tied into a ponytail. She was clean and tidy. What was going on? Why did she look like a pretty daughter from a humble family?
"Cough cough!" Jian Buyi coughed dryly and interrupted Yi Yun's thoughts. He said, "This is thousand-year-old Snow Lotus Tea plucked from the Snow Mountain Clarity Pond. The Snow Lotus petals are dried and brewed with ten-thousand-year-old Melted Ice Water. It's pretty good."
Yi Yun was somewhat puzzled when Jian Buyi suddenly introduced the tea. He took a sip and indeed, the fragrance was refreshing. He praised, "Good tea."
Jian Buyi said with a smile, "My young friend, Yi Yun, I really wish that the Clarity Pool Sword Sect would have a genius disciple like you. However, I heard you mention that you already have a master. It's impossible for you to join the Clarity Pool Sword Sect …"
When Jian Buyi said that, he shook his head and felt somewhat regretful. But immediately, he seemed to recall something as his eyes lit up. "My young friend, Yi Yun, what do you think of Xiaoshuang?"
Jian Buyi's sudden words nearly made Yi Yun choke on his tea.
He finally understood why Jian Buyi had invited him to his residence to discuss matters. He had also pulled Jian Wufeng and Jian Xiaoshuang along because of this.
It was no wonder Jian Xiaoshuang's face was as red as the sunset. Jian Buyi had likely mentioned it to her.
Yi Yun gaped and could only say, "Junior Sister Xiaoshuang is a natural beauty and a genius in the Sword Dao. She is naturally perfect."
"How can I be considered a genius in the Sword Dao?" Jian Xiaoshuang stuck out her tongue. If someone else had said that, she would have accepted it. However, she was embarrassed to hear it from Yi Yun.
"Yi Yun, with things having come to this point, I'll be frank. Xiaoshuang is Wufeng's disciple and the next sect master of our Clarity Pool Sword Sect. The Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword will also be passed down to her. I'm thinking of betrothing Xiaoshuang to you …"
Jian Buyi pondered for a long time before finally saying his piece. In fact, Yi Yun had a vague premonition before this.
Thinking back to Jian Buyi's ruminative look, Yi Yun completely understood that Jian Buyi was impressed by his outstanding talent and wanted him to support the Clarity Pool Sword Sect. However, if they did not have any relationship, it would be unreliable. Therefore, betrothing the future sect master to him was obviously reliable.
This left Yi Yun somewhat at a loss for words. The Clarity Pool Sword Sect had invested heavily in the Seven Star Dao Palace's invasion. Jian Wufeng was honest and straightforward, so he could ignore it. However, Jian Buyi was a sly old fox. He naturally refused to make a losing deal. What would happen if the Clarity Pool Sword Sect's relationship with Yi Yun drifted apart in the future?
"About that, Senior Brother Fenghong …"
Yi Yun was perplexed. As an outsider, he could tell that Jian Fenghong was interested in Jian Xiaoshuang. As for Jian Buyi, he was Jian Fenghong's master. There was no need for him to be so unreasonable, right?
Upon mentioning Jian Fenghong, Jian Buyi shook his head. "I naturally wish to see Fenghong marry Xiaoshuang. However, marriage requires both parties to be willing. Xiaoshuang isn't willing …"
When Jian Buyi said that, Jian Wufeng interjected, "Xiaoshuang made a vow in the past that the person she wanted to marry had to have Sword Dao talent surpassing hers or be able to stimulate the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword's power. Fenghong can forget about stimulating the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword. He has long failed. As for talent surpassing Xiaoshuang's, it would be quite impossible, so …"
Jian Wufeng was a straightforward person, so it was somewhat awkward for him to say such things.
Yi Yun gaped and glanced at Jian Xiaoshuang. He had a nagging feeling that she was as innocent as a sheet of paper. She probably did not even know what it meant to truly like someone.
Yi Yun could only say, "Seniors, thank you for your kind intentions. However, I already have a wife."
However, Jian Buyi said, "I have considered that as well. As martial cultivators, we do not necessarily only have one partner. Furthermore, as long as you do not perish in the future, your accomplishments will be limitless. Xiaoshuang being able to marry you is already a blessing. Why should I ask you to only have one wife?"
Jian Buyi easily deflected Yi Yun's objection.
Yi Yun was rendered somewhat speechless. When he looked at Jian Buyi again, he suddenly felt that the old fellow was extremely cunning. The opportunity he had chosen to marry Jian Xiaoshuang was truly subtle. The Seven Star Dao Palace was just outside the mountain entrance!
