Chapter 107: Engagement? Protector of the Dao

Sister, why didn't you tell me he's at the Extreme Boundary!

After hearing Yun Zhan's voice, Yun Yun scratched her head and said apologetically, 'I just wanted you to teach him a lesson, but I momentarily forgot.'

He's at the Extreme Boundary! Extreme Boundary!

Aren't you at Golden Core Tenth Level? How can you still not beat him?

It's not a matter of whether we can beat him or not—he's at the Extreme Boundary! Such talent, we definitely need to pull him into our family!

Yun Yun: '?!'

Ye Chen: '?!'

Ye Chen was left dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events, and Yun Yun was similarly dazed.

Brother, are you really going to watch your dear sister just get taken advantage of like this?

Yun Yun looked at Yun Zhan with a pitiful, endearing expression.

However, Yun Zhan didn't answer Yun Yun; instead, he turned his head to look at Ye Chen.

Let my sister suffer a small loss, and we'll leave it at that—but this matter can't just be dropped, after all, you've taken advantage of my sister.

Hearing this, Ye Chen felt confused, unsure how Yun Zhan intended to handle the matter, so he asked, 'How do you plan to resolve it? As long as it's something I can accept, I have no objections.'

Since you've taken advantage of my sister, let her suffer a small loss; as her brother, I'll make the call and arrange your engagement.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed, 'Holy shit, you really want to be my brother-in-law!'

After hearing Yun Zhan's words, Yun Yun was also shocked, shouting, 'Brother! You're selling me off!'

Don't make a fuss—Grandfather Gu Lan will surely agree to this marriage once he knows he's at the Extreme Boundary.

Yun Zhan turned his head and said to Yun Yun.

No way! I don't agree!

Yun Yun shouted loudly.

Exactly! I also don't agree!

Huh?

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Yun Zhan turned around, glared at him fiercely, and said, 'You can keep your opinion, but I won't listen.'

After Yun Zhan finished speaking, he turned to look at Yun Yun, leaving a dazed Ye Chen standing where he was.

Look at you—he's taken all the advantage, and he's at the Extreme Boundary. If we really fought, without using treasures, I might not even be his match. And look, the diagrams and lightning on his body—those two supreme killing techniques—when he unleashes them, even I feel a pang of palpitation.

Yun Zhan looked at Yun Yun and said seriously.

No way, I also don't agree! I'm still so young, my cultivation path has barely begun—I don't want to get engaged this early!

Yun Yun shouted.

Seeing Yun Yun disagree, Yun Zhan said helplessly:

Since you disagree, the only option is to ask the clan elders to take action and kill him, after all, this concerns your reputation.

Listening to Yun Yun and Yun Zhan's conversation, Ye Chen felt utterly helpless for a moment.

He never expected that not being killed would be because he has the Extreme Boundary, yet now he faces death because he took advantage of Yun Yun—but the key is, he truly didn't mean to do it; he merely wanted to startle Yun Yun.

Things are always so unpredictable.

Upon hearing her brother want the clan elders to kill Ye Chen, Yun Yun furrowed her brows and looked at Ye Chen— to her, he was hardly an enemy, and moreover, he had previously saved her.

Perhaps the only grudge is that Ye Chen accidentally grabbed her butt.

Um, older brother, is there no way to have the best of both worlds?

Yun Yun asked.

Seeing his sister didn't want to hurt Ye Chen, Yun Zhan pondered and said, 'Sure, just give him a beating.'

But I can't beat him...

Yun Yun looked at Ye Chen and said, knowing she was no match for him, that's why she wanted Yun Zhan to teach him a lesson.

Whether I can beat him is also a question, and I feel he still has a hidden move.

At that moment, Ye Chen, who had been silent behind them, spoke up.

Actually... when you're talking about me, you don't need to be so loud.

Shut up!

These words were spoken simultaneously by Yun Zhan and Yun Yun.

Hearing their words, Ye Chen slowly raised his hands and said, 'Then you go on...'

Not saying anything more!

This sentence was also spoken simultaneously by Yun Zhan and Yun Yun.

Actually, there's an even better solution—it just depends on whether that kid agrees.

After a moment of silence, Yun Zhan said.

What?

One sentence was spoken by Yun Yun, while the other was thought by Ye Chen.

Let him be your Protector of the Dao.

Yun Zhan said this with a solemn expression.

And upon hearing Yun Zhan's words, Ye Chen furrowed his brows.

That doesn't make sense— their family isn't lacking strong individuals, so why would they want me to be Yun Yun's Protector of the Dao? It defies logic.

Ye Chen thought this, but Yun Zhan didn't continue, Yun Yun didn't say anything else, and just as Ye Chen assumed this confusion would stay buried in his mind, the mixed-eyed one suddenly spoke up, worsening the situation.

Actually, they just saw your value—you have the Extreme Boundary, so a future great cultivator will surely have a place for you. They don't know you also have Foundation Establishment Extreme Boundary; they subconsciously assume you only have Qi Refining Extreme Boundary. This is their cognitive bias: they think a lone cultivator having one Extreme Boundary is already rare, so they assume you only have one.

They never imagined your fate is incredibly defiant and your talent terrifyingly formidable—breaking two Extreme Boundaries. Once they learn you have two, they'll surely try every means to pull you into their family; if you refuse, they'll likely attempt to erase you.

After the mixed-eyed one finished speaking, Ye Chen also fell silent—he hasn't lived as long as the mixed-eyed one, his vision isn't as keen, but he gained some information from the words; this too is a reminder from the mixed-eyed one: unless absolutely necessary, don't lightly use the power of the Extreme Boundary.

Extreme Boundary's power easily makes people wary.

One could also say, no faction would want someone who possesses the Extreme Boundary to fall into another faction's hands.

Ye Chen lightly exhaled a breath.

At that moment, Yun Zhan also turned to look at Ye Chen, "I suppose you've heard our words; you have only two choices: agree, or if you disagree, you must still agree."

"How is this any different from forced buying and selling?"

Ye Chen thought to himself, he didn't say these words out loud; he already didn't want any more trouble.

"I have no objections, but with my current strength I cannot possibly protect her, let alone be her Dao Protector."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Yun Zhan showed no dissatisfaction, because he knew Ye Chen was telling the truth.

"You don't need to be my sister's Dao Protector so early; you only need to remember that you are her Dao Protector when your strength grows. Moreover, before you mature, my Yun Family will regularly provide you with cultivation resources, which you can request as needed."

If Gu Lan were here, he would surely praise Yun Zhan for doing well.

Yun Zhan's approach not only binds Ye Chen to his Yun Family, but also gives Ye Chen benefits, which also counts as goodwill toward Ye Chen.

Furthermore, Yun Zhan also said not to let Ye Chen forget that he is Yun Yun's Dao Protector; this also serves to remind Ye Chen that Yun Yun is the foundation of all this. If Ye Chen truly grows in the future and is not an ungrateful person, he will return to thank Yun Yun. At that time, the Yun Family might perhaps reach its peak thanks to Ye Chen, who possesses the Extreme Boundary.

Yun Zhan's approach might even succeed in bringing Ye Chen and Yun Yun together.
