"Why? Do you not fancy Xiaoshuang? Don't misunderstand. My Clarity Pool Sword Sect is not making you a live-in son-in-law. Xiaoshuang is marrying you and you can take her away in the future. However, Xiaoshuang is the future sect master of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect after all. Why don't I give you two hours to consider? After all, marriage is an important matter. It's only right to consider it carefully. "
Jian Buyi said in an 'earnest' manner.
Two hours?
Yi Yun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The Seven Star Dao Palace's deputy palatial lord had given him two hours. Jian Buyi had also said two hours. Was this a coincidence?
Yi Yun felt that Jian Buyi was a wily old fox. In fact, he was not threatening him, nor did he want to threaten him. However, his words were a reminder to Yi Yun — the Clarity Pool Sword Sect was still in a stalemate with the Seven Star Dao Palace. They only gave him two hours to make a choice.
In all fairness, the conditions raised by Jian Buyi were not conditions at all. They were all benefits for Yi Yun. Giving an innocent and adorable beauty to be his wife without any other restrictions was something any ordinary man would agree to.
Yi Yun was not an accomplished monk that did not lust after women. He naturally did not reject anything that Jian Buyi said.
But now, Lin Xintong's fate was unknown. Yi Yun had yet to find any clues regarding her. Under such circumstances, how could he be in the mood to find another woman?
Yi Yun said, "Senior, you might not know this, but back when I first arrived in the 12 Empyrean Heavens, my wife was separated from me. Now, her fate is unknown. I believe she is still alive and is likely searching for me. If I were to marry her now, I would be letting down my wife."
Yi Yun's words were reasonable. Jian Buyi was taken aback when he heard that. Although he was a little scheming, he was not an unreasonable person. Under such circumstances, it was not right for him to continue making things difficult for Yi Yun.
"Besides, Junior Sister Xiaoshuang is innocent and naive. She is like a young girl with a mind as blank as a piece of paper. She probably does not know what it means to like someone and does not understand the true meaning of becoming a Dao partner …"
When Yi Yun said that, Jian Xiaoshuang did not like what she was hearing. She clenched her teeth and glared at Yi Yun with her large eyes like an angry kitten.
"Uh …" Yi Yun awkwardly touched his nose. He did not know what to say.
Jian Xiaoshuang said unhappily, "Didn't you just get married once? You make it sound like you're much older than me. How do you know what I know and what I don't know? Besides, I've already sworn an oath."
Jian Xiaoshuang's final sentence was spoken very softly. She swore that the person who pulled out the Clarity Pool Ancestral Sword and stimulated it would be her husband. If not, she would remain unmarried for life. For warriors who cultivated the way of the sword, an oath was related to their Heart of the Sword. It was not something that could be easily changed.
"Since that's the case, Senior Brother, I think we should forget about it."
Jian Wufeng interjected. He already felt that what Jian Buyi had done was dishonorable. However, it seemed like he had made things difficult for his disciple. He knew Jian Xiaoshuang's character. It was unlikely that she would remain unmarried for the rest of her life.
"If possible, can I recognize Xiao Shuang as my little sister?"
He knew very well that it was not a problem for him to reject her. However, Jian Xiaoshuang was a girl after all. It would be too awkward for him to reject her so stiffly.
Jian Xiaoshuang's face flushed red. Before she could say a word, Jian Buyi had already agreed to it.
"Little sister is fine too. Hahaha."
Jian Buyi did not care if it was a Dao partner or a little sister. As long as there was a relationship, it was fine. He felt that Yi Yun was a person who kept his word. In the future, if Yi Yun were to become one of the strongest figures in the 12 Empyrean Heavens, wouldn't the Clarity Pool Sword Sect's sect master be Yi Yun's sister? Wouldn't that easily ensure the prosperity of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect for hundreds of millions of years?
Furthermore, there was only a thin line separating a sworn sister and a lover. Who knew when it could be pierced through at any time!?
Jian Buyi made plans in his mind as he agreed readily.
Jian Xiaoshuang's face was still red. Jian Buyi had already agreed on her behalf. Even though she had sworn an oath, she could not say a word.
"Then, I'll call you Brother Yun." Jian Xiaoshuang said through gritted teeth.
Yi Yun smiled faintly. Jian Xiaoshuang was as pure as snow and extremely candid. He was very happy to have such a sister.
Jian Buyi beamed from ear to ear. "That's good. Very good."
However, at that moment, his smile froze slightly. Following that, he looked at Yi Yun and said, "Since you are already Xiaoshuang's brother, why don't you come out as well?"
Yi Yun did not know what had happened but he guessed that it had something to do with the Seven Star Dao Palace.
When he came out of the Azure Sword Loft, Yi Yun saw Jian Fenghong and many other Clarity Pool Sword Sect disciples waiting in the front hall.
Upon seeing Jian Buyi, Jian Wufeng and company come out, Jian Fenghong immediately walked forward. "Master, Sect Master, how do you plan on dealing with the Seven Star Dao Palace?"
Two hours were about to pass. Many disciples, including Jian Fenghong, were worried. How could anyone remain indifferent to the calamity of a sect's annihilation? Furthermore, Yi Yun was an outsider who had attracted the calamity.
Upon thinking of this, Jian Fenghong glanced at Yi Yun.
Yi Yun was extremely talented but he had offended the Seven Star Dao Palace. The growth of a genius was destined to be difficult.
Jian Buyi looked at his disciple before sweeping his gaze across the other disciples. Following that, he said in a deep voice, "My Clarity Pool Sword Sect emphasizes that one's innate character is like a sword. We are upright and outspoken. How can we submit to the Seven Star Dao Palace's oppression?"
"As for Yi Yun, he is now Xiaoshuang's sworn brother. He is equivalent to a disciple of my Clarity Pool Sword Sect. My Clarity Pool Sword Sect has never given up on any disciple. We seek vengeance and endure hardship together. How can we hand Yi Yun over today? "
Jian Fenghong's heart palpitated as he hurriedly looked at Jian Xiaoshuang.
Jian Xiaoshuang had become Yi Yun's sworn sister?
Jian Fenghong knew that this was likely the intention of Jian Buyi and Jian Wufeng, as well as Jian Xiaoshuang herself. And the so-called sworn sister was probably not that simple.
Yi Yun's talent in the Sword Dao was extraordinary, something he could not compare with. Upon thinking of this, Jian Fenghong felt bitter.
Jian Buyi's gaze swept across the disciples, causing them to fall silent.
Yi Yun had become Jian Xiaoshuang's sworn brother, making him inseparable from the Clarity Pool Sword Sect. As members of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect, how could they betray one of their own and commit such treacherous acts?
"The Clarity Pool Sword Sect's array is not that easily cracked. If the Seven Star Dao Palace wishes to annihilate my Clarity Pool Sword Sect, they will have to pay a heavy price!" Jian Wufeng said in a deep voice.
The Clarity Pool Sword Sect had no choice but to defend its entrance!
At that moment, Jian Wufeng suddenly looked up into the sky.
With a thought, a sword beam shot out, activating the array's projection.
Immediately, Liu Ruyi and the other Seven Star Dao Palace figures appeared in the sky. At that moment, two hours were up.
Liu Ruyi sneered as she circulated her Qi to her dantian and said loudly, "It looks like your Clarity Pool Sword Sect is bent on seeking death. Alright, I'll grant you your wish!"
