Ye Xuan entered her chamber and asked directly, "Who was here?"
Yu i didn't hide the truth, replying without suspicion, "It was Hua Xian of the Hua clan. He just left before you arrived."
Ye Xuan's curiosity was piqued. "I heard from the maid servant that he only wanted to et you. What's the matter?"
Yu i hesitated but still didn't hide anything. "He ca for a marriage proposal."
Ye Xuan was taken aback. "What? For whom?" He had two wives and six children, including two sons and four daughters.
Yu i explained, "He heard about Ye Ling joining the Ice Palace, fancied her from childhood, and wanted to marry her.
The Hua family also wants to form a marriage connection between our families."
Ye Xuan thought for a mont. "I know about this marriage matter, but did he co here just for this?" He asked with questioning eyes.
Yu i bit her lips and lied, "He wanted us to promise Ye Ling to him in na only, so the Hua family won't take offense at Ye Ling joining the Ice Palace. As you know, the Ice Palace rules state no contact with any male until completion of their sacred scripture, which usually takes years."
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows. "So, the Hua boy was here because he wanted to help Ye Ling and support her joining the Ice Palace?"
Yu i replied, "Yes." As she answered, she thought about the real conversation she had with Hua Xian before Ye Yang interrupted them.
Flashback,
Hua Xian entered Yu i's chamber.
Yu i asked, "What's the matter? You only wanted to et ; is there any urgency?" She looked at Hua Xian, who was sitting next to her.
Hua Xian smiled and directly addressed her question. "Is it true that Ye Ling is joining the Ice Palace?" He didn't avoid her queries and raised the doubt.
Yu i was taken aback by his sudden question. She thought to herself, 'How does he know that?' Only a few people knew about this matter, and she wondered how Hua Xian had found out.
Hua Xian smiled, "You shouldn't think about how I know; you should think about what I want."
Yu i looked at Hua Xian, "What do you want?"
Hua Xian closed the distance between them, his voice taking on a more intimate tone. "It's no secret that Ye Ling has the Serene Ice Ying physique, and that's one of the reasons my family elder wants her to join our family through marriage."
"There's talk of a marriage between the higher-ups, although the na isn't clear, but I know who they're referring to," he added, his eyes locked on Yu i's.
"I know, unlike others, how much Ye Ling loves to cultivate, and joining the Ice Palace is a good opportunity for her." Then his tone beca serious.
"So, when the Hua family proposes the marriage, do you think you can avoid us?" His tone turned arrogant, "Even the imperial family cannot ignore our presence."
"But..." Hua Xian's tone turned sweet again, "but I can help."
Yu i questioned him with a serious tone, "How can you help in this matter when you're just one of the candidates for marriage?"
Hua Xian got up from his seat, "I hold sothing that can beco crucial in this matter."
"And I know that the Ye family will have to submit to us." Hearing this, Yu i got angry, but she knew that what he said was the actual truth.
The Hua clan was a First-rate clan, while the Ye clan was a Second-rate clan.
Currently, the Ye clan was far inferior to the Hua clan. Feeling the montum, Hua Xian walked behind Yu i's chair.
"I can be the person who can save the Ye clan from its predicant, but in return, I want sothing," he said, his voice low and close, as he was already standing behind her.
Yu i asked him, her mind racing with nurous possibilities for evading the current problem, "What do you really want?"
As soon she finished the statent, Hua Xian landed his hands on her shoulders, "I want you".
Ye i was startled but her mind was already occupied with many questions.
Seeing her not taking any action, Hua Xian starts massaging her shoulders, "I will convince the elders of the family, to let Ye Ling go" his hands were sliding down towards her big lemons.
"all you have to do is promise our clan to marry her only to our clan in future" his hands were slowly reaching towards their main targets.
Yu i with concerning tone, "do you think it's that simple to convince the Elders of the family"
Right now, he was massaging her lons, "that's my concern not yours" as he was about to grabbed them fully with his hands.
"mother?" Ye Yang entered the room.
Current,
Ye Xuan was impressed by Hua Xian's words, "The Hua boy is indeed a good candidate for our daughter."
"He is willing to support Ye Ling, even though he knows about his family's ambitions."
"That boy will definitely beco a prominent figure in the future. To fulfil his ambitions and bridge the gap between our families, it would be better to betroth both daughters to him." He had an amazing idea to narrow the gap between the two families.
