Chapter 734: Chapter 17 A Direct Confession for the First Ti_2 Chapter 734: Chapter 17 A Direct Confession for the First Ti_2 “Haha, is that so ruthless?”
“There are so many good girls in the world, why insist on hanging yourself on the branch of just one?” Yan Yu said with disdain, “How co if I leave her, I’m supposed to stay single till death?”
“But the premise is that you like her,” Tang Xiaolian seriously said, “When you really fall in love with soone, it’s not easy to just let go and say you can move on. Saying you’d run as far as possible from her, isn’t that also because you’re afraid that seeing her will make you waver again?”
This left Yan Yu silent: Well, trying to breach my defenses, are you?
No, no, the one I wanted to “run as far as possible from” was Chen Lingyun from my past life! The her in this life hasn’t been completely corrupted yet, as long as I continue to carefully train and properly guide her, there’s still hope for her!
“So, Yan Yu, you actually have never truly liked anyone, right?” Seeing him speechless, Tang Xiaolian thought she hit the mark and her tail imdiately perked up, she slyly smiled and said, “Wow, I can’t believe that the great Team Leader Yan, Lu Country’s number one cultivator, is actually a pure-hearted newbie in love histories…”
“That’s enough,” Yan Yu said with a dark face, cutting her off, “There are plenty of people who like , losing one or two doesn’t matter, right? I can easily choose a girl who’s absolutely safe, why should I like soone I can’t have?”
“So, Yan Yu, you’re the type that really hates taking risks,” Tang Xiaolian pretended to suddenly understand, “Compared to whether you like soone, you value more if the other person likes you.”
“That’s correct,” Yan Yu said, “In my criteria for choosing a partner, that’s a bottom line and principle. If she hasn’t fallen for , then she doesn’t even deserve an extra glance from , how could I possibly like her? Your hypothetical situation is impossible to begin with…”
“I like you, Yan Yu,” Tang Xiaolian said seriously.
Yan Yu’s hand holding the wine glass suddenly shook, nearly spilling the drink. He had been indirectly confessed to by girls in the past, but such a direct “I like you” was a first!
Just as he was about to launch his “you’re not worthy” spell, he heard Tang Xiaolian turn her head away and sighed,
“Of course, I know I’m not worthy of you. Look, in terms of looks, I can’t compare to Chen Lingyun; in terms of figure, I can’t compare to Zhao Yuanzhen; in terms of talent, I can’t compare to Xie Ruoxi; in terms of personality, I can’t compare to Su Yunjin; even in terms of relationship, Lin Ning being with you every day, practicing the sword, is more familiar with you than I am, right?”
Yan Yu was about to say “Good that you know,” but couldn’t say it when the words reached his mouth because she had already started crying.
She turned her head to the side, probably thinking that from this angle Yan Yu couldn’t see her, letting her tears slowly fall, yet her voice was unusually calm, without a hint of a crying tone,
“Ah, Yan Yu… I don’t really know why I fell for you, maybe these things are inherently illogical. I just wanted to say… don’t feel bothered by this, I’m not trying to pressure you into a decision, I’m also quite confused right now, maybe it’s just the lingering effect of the Joyful Sound from earlier, I kind of regret telling you…”
She found it difficult to continue speaking, maintaining her turned away position, she quietly reached for a tissue.
“Use a wet tissue,” Yan Yu said, “Wiping with a tissue too much can hurt.”
Tang Xiaolian suddenly trembled and said in a shaking voice,
“You… are watching with your divine sense?”
“Yes,” Yan Yu honestly said, “You’re crying.”
Tang Xiaolian hesitated for a mont, then suddenly stood up, saying “I’m sorry,” and imdiately fled the private room at full speed.
Yan Yu watched her rush out of the door, fell silent for a mont, and let out a long, helpless sigh.
It’s hardest to disappoint a woman’s tears! This girl genuinely likes . Even though she’s confessing, every word is scared of making it difficult for , every sentence leaves room for retreat, even crying she dared not let see… How could I possibly say the words “you’re not worthy”?
Though I, Yan Yu, am not the kind to frivolously give away my affection, I am even less of a heartless and emotionless person!
But now, if I were to chase after her to comfort her, it would only make her feel worse. She doesn’t want to see her in tears, how could I persist in this matter? Giving her so ti to calm down is also good, this is my, Yan Yu’s, unique tenderness!
Better head ho for now!
Yan Yu left the restaurant, controlling his sword to return to Jinling Prefecture. His first order of business was to report to Li Weiguo.
In fact, Li Weiguo received the news before Yan Yu had even returned.
The Mysterious Realm was conquered, Chen Lingyun and Tang Xiaolian were safe and sound, all the innocent civilians involved were rescued. There was so damage due to internal frictions among the civilian cultivators, but most of them survived and were taken away by the Dingbei Army—it was an exceedingly perfect outco.
“This ti you did well…” Li Weiguo had just started praising him when Yan Yu interrupted,
“I wanted to ask, the elixir dicine I handed over just now, when can I get it back?”
“After the research departnt confirms its safety, it will be returned to you,” Li Weiguo wasn’t upset and asked with a smile, “Do you need it urgently?”
“I’m thinking of trying it on Li Minghu,” Yan Yu replied, “Doesn’t she have the chronic illness of Five Elents imbalance? Maybe it will cure her.”
“Hmm,” Li Weiguo pondered and said, “She’s not in the country right now.”
“Where did she go? A secret mission?”
“A secret mission, but there’s no harm in telling you. She went to the Southern Border to gather intelligence.”
The Ishana from Tianzhu led the ascetic cultivators invading the Southern Border, the Witch King sought help from Lu Country, considering that they cannot allow Tianzhu to gain control of the Southern Border, a conflict with Tianzhu is inevitable sooner or later. However, sending Li Minghu—who possesses such imnse combat power—to gather intelligence seems an overuse of resources, wouldn’t it? Why not send an ordinary Sword Immortal Cultivator instead!
