Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075: Engagent Turmoil
Ye You’s voice was soft, yet it was like a thunderclap exploding in Qin Sisi’s ear, making her heart race uncontrollably.
Qin Sisi looked up to et Ye You’s gaze. His expression was serious and solemn, his deep eyes fixed on her, and Qin Sisi saw her own reflection in his violet eyes.
"Are you serious?" Qin Sisi hesitated a little. Now that Ye You had just formally declared war on Tian Xiaozi, tensions were high, the Eight Great Families harbored ill intentions, and the Demon Sacred Realm was unstable. It wasn’t the best ti for a wedding.
Ye You’s warm palm covered Qin Sisi’s cheek, and he whispered, "I’m very serious. I’ve thought it over. Only by giving you a rightful status will they truly understand your importance in my heart, and they will respect you as they respect ."
Qin Sisi rubbed her cheek against Ye You’s palm, staring into his eyes, silent for a long ti.
"You... are unwilling?" Ye You grew uneasy at Qin Sisi’s silence.
Qin Sisi shook her head and softly said, "No, I just feel like the timing isn’t right."
"Man proposes, God disposes." Ye You expressed his determination with these four words.
The young prince sincerely wanted to give his beloved girl enough security through marriage and make those families with intentions of hitching their fortunes to him give up, while also deterring those harboring malintent towards Qin Sisi.
However, the obstacles he faced exceeded his expectations.
To his surprise, the greatest resistance ca from his most loyal subordinate.
Chief Puchen analyzed the current situation for Ye You and Qin Sisi. The issue was unstable, smoke was everywhere, enemies were in power, and the great revenge had not been avenged. A wedding now would greatly damage Ye You’s prestige and would be detrintal to future military actions.
If soone else said this, Ye You might ignore it, but Puchen was different. As Ye You had said before, the loyalty of the Panhu family was engraved in their bones.
Puchen’s words were not about power, self-interest, or Qin Sisi, but genuinely for Ye You’s sake.
Qin Sisi turned her head to look at Ye You, only to see his furrowed brows, a solemn expression, yet unwavering eyes, indicating his inner thoughts had not wavered.
Qin Sisi understood that since Ye You had spoken those words, he would spare no effort to accomplish it. However, how could she bear to see him suffer the loss of reputation and struggle?
Just as Ye You was about to discuss with Puchen how to minimize the impact of this matter, Qin Sisi suddenly stood up and said, "Your Highness, Chief Puchen makes a good point. The bigger picture is important, and the marriage can wait."
Ye You gently shook his head and held Qin Sisi’s hand to comfort her, "Don’t worry, I’ll handle it."
Qin Sisi squeezed Ye You’s hand tightly and softly pleaded, "I just thought it over, and I don’t seem ready. Let’s wait a bit longer, okay?"
Ye You’s expression tensed, and he looked at Qin Sisi with a complicated gaze, his lips tightly pressed, saying nothing.
Puchen gave Qin Sisi an approving glance and took the opportunity to advise again, "Please reconsider, Your Highness."
"And if I must?" Ye You looked deeply at Qin Sisi, asking word by word.
Qin Sisi reached out and smoothed the furrowed lines on Ye You’s forehead, softly saying, "Patience in small matters brings big plans. I can wait, and so can you."
Ye You closed his eyes helplessly, then reopened them, resolutely saying, "Fine, as you wish, let’s not marry yet, but I will get engaged first. Tomorrow, the engagent happens. On this point, don’t expect
to back down."
"Tomorrow?" Qin Sisi asked in surprise.
"Yes, tomorrow." Ye You’s tone was firm and unquestionable.
Qin Sisi glanced at Puchen enquiringly. Puchen also found that persuading Ye You had been difficult enough. Engagent and formal marriage were quite different and shouldn’t have much impact, so he agreed and imdiately called Yun Wang and Yun Cheng to make preparations.
It was already the afternoon; with less than a day and a night to prepare an engagent ceremony, everyone in the Panhu family beca busy. Puchen invited the Muyin family and ilan family to help because these two families would not oppose Ye You and Qin Sisi’s engagent.
Xiao ng was so happy she jumped for joy and went to Miaoyin City with Jing Jing to shop for clothes for Ye You and Qin Sisi.
And the two main characters themselves found so leisure, with Ye You taking Qin Sisi back to the cave, holding her waist softly asking, "Why don’t you want to marry ?"
Qin Sisi shyly glanced at him, biting her lip and remaining silent.
Ye You leaned down and gently kissed her forehead, sighing, "Silly girl."
Qin Sisi looked up, a little reproachfully, "You’re the silly one! Were you planning to keep the Damage Transfer Charm a secret from
forever?"
Ye You’s expression didn’t change, just slightly curled his lips, neither confirming nor denying, he asked in return, "Did Xiao ng and the others tell you?"
"It doesn’t matter who told . Just tell
how your injury is," Qin Sisi asked worriedly.
Ye You pinched Qin Sisi’s ear and replied, "It’s fine now. I had Qing Xun help
heal."
Only then did Qin Sisi feel relieved. Qing Xun’s Water Attribute healing was also excellent. With him helping Ye You heal, it should be no problem.
"From now on, don’t do that again." She said, deliberately putting on a stern face.
"I was lucky I did it this ti, otherwise..." Ye You didn’t continue. Just the thought of that chilling feeling of fear made him shudder.
The two stared into each other’s eyes, sharing the joy of surviving a disaster and cherishing the future. Ye You held Qin Sisi tightly in his arms, reluctant to let go, for what he held was the happiness he cherished most in his life.
For so, there was joy, and for others, there was sorrow. That evening, the Seven Major Families temporarily residing at Taiyi Mountain officially received Ye You’s engagent ceremony invitation, like a pebble stirring a thousand layers of waves, leaving most people stunned by the invitation. Various reactions erged at once: so were joyous, so were worried, so gloated, and others were filled with resentnt.
As soon as Ya Ling saw the invitation, she burst into tears, clinging to her father’s arm, whining and pleading coquettishly. Chief Gelun was also helpless, having previously promised his daughter that she would beco a high-ranking Patroness.
But Chief Gelun indeed felt infuriated by Ye You’s action, as he had thought Ye You’s infatuation with Qin Sisi was just a passing fancy and did not expect they would formally get engaged.
Gelun, having a familial relationship with Patroness Gewan, should be addressed by Ye You as uncle, and he decided to use this elder status to teach Ye You a lesson.
Gathering magic power to form wings, Gelun flew angrily toward Ye You’s residence, only to be stopped by the guards upon arrival. After the incident with Dong i, Ye You had strengthened the defenses around his residence, not allowing others to enter the vicinity casually.
