Chapter 1383

Knowing the three maidens' worry for him, Ye Zhangqing did not resist, but even if he did, he couldn't win anyway.

After finally waiting for the three maidens to vent their anger, Ye Zhangqing got the chance to coax them one by one onto the stone bench in the Yuàn zhōng.

After personally brewing tea for the three maidens, Ye Zhangqing then began to explain.

Madam, you've really misunderstood me; in your hearts, do I, Ye, seem like that sort of licentious person?

You're not just like it; you are it.

Hearing that, Bai Hua Xianzi replied unhappily, and a single sentence left Ye Zhangqing completely dazed.

But obviously he couldn't talk back then, so Ye Zhangqing could only continue explaining.

Actually, I and Qiu Baiyi are not what you think; this story, if told, would be long.

Then take your time; we have plenty of time, it's not even dark yet.

I.......... this.......... okay, I'll say it.

Back then I wasn't kidnapped by the Viper, right? After entering the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, I never had a chance to escape, so I could only make do and temporarily placate the Viper's gang.

Later, when I came to the Tianwu Realm, the Viper and the Blood King Palace had deep blood ties, which is how I finally found a chance to escape.

But after I escaped, the Viper chased me all the way; if it weren't for Qiu Baiyi's rescue, I might have been caught by the Viper, and I wouldn't even know whether I was still in the Tianwu Realm.

So, Qiu Baiyi owes me a life‑saving debt, you say…………

Ye Zhangqing recounted the events of that period in full, though there were some minor discrepancies here and there, but nothing serious.

For example, the fact that Qiu Baiyi had captured him was turned by Ye Zhangqing into a life‑saving favor.

Listening to Ye Zhangqing's account, Bai Hua Xianzi directly interrupted.

So, for this life‑saving favor, you're repaying it with your body?

Don't make a fuss, I haven't finished yet.

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing's face darkened, and he continued.

After that, Qiu Baiyi brought me back to Bai Song Gu, and that imperial‑rank Chuānyīn fú she gave me earlier was the only way I could have contacted you.

I had thought I'd just keep waiting for you to come pick me up, but who would have thought that the Blood King Palace and Litian Pavilion would secretly join forces, aiming to overthrow Bai Song Gu.

In the battle, Qiu Baiyi nearly died trying to save me; how could I abandon her? I, Ye Zhangqing, am not that kind of person.

With two life‑saving debts, plus when she was on her deathbed she confessed her feelings to me—do you think I could refuse her at such a moment?

What Ye Zhangqing said was sincere, though the story was a mix of truth and falsehood, and for a moment it really left the Three Hundred Flowers Fairy Maidens puzzled.

Bai Hua Xianzi looked at Ye Zhangqing suspiciously, uncertain.

Are you telling the truth?

Absolutely true.

You and Qiu Baiyi are together because of that?

Yeah, otherwise I, Ye Zhangqing, wouldn't be such a careless person.

Relying on a silver tongue, he finally managed to coax the three maidens into appeasement.

Although they still couldn't fully accept Qiu Baiyi, the three maidens agreed to let her come tomorrow for a chat.

Ye Zhangqing naturally wholeheartedly agreed—after all that effort, wasn't it just for this moment?

Agreement is enough.

There's no need to say more about what followed; since parting in Haotu Shijie, the three maidens' longing for Ye Zhangqing has only grown stronger.

Now that they're finally reunited, the pent‑up emotions in their hearts naturally burst forth completely.

The next morning, Ye Zhangqing walked out of the courtyard supporting his waist; seeing this, Li Tie Niu and Li Tie Dan, who were sparring, rushed forward to steady him, puzzled.

Boss, what's wrong with you? Weren't you fine yesterday?

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

You'll understand once you've taken a wife.

Huh???

The two brothers couldn't immediately grasp Ye Zhangqing's meaning; after taking an elixir and regulating their breath for a Shíchén, Ye Zhangqing finally recovered.

The three maidens have treated me like a beast of burden!

While resting, Ye Zhangqing also sent a message to Qiu Baiyi, asking her to come over.

Upon seeing Qiu Baiyi, dressed all in white and clearly having taken pains with her appearance, Ye Zhangqing's eyes lit up.

Here I am.

My husband called for me; how could I not come quickly?

Then he brought Qiu Baiyi and the three maidens together; after Ye Zhangqing's lengthy explanation yesterday, the three maidens seemed to have understood.

After they became familiar with each other, ironically Ye Zhangqing ended up feeling like an outsider.

Watching the four women chatter nonstop as they gathered, Ye Zhangqing felt both relieved and helpless.

At least pay some attention—there's a big living person right beside you!

Bai Hua..........

No time.

Shadowless.

Get lost.

Red Charm.

Wait a moment, I'll say it.

Qiu Baiyi.

Honey, I'm chatting with my younger sisters.

Huh???

Ye Zhangqing went around calling each of them, yet not a single one paid him any attention.

Moreover, the four women now even have their order sorted out.

Although Qiu Baiyi was the last to arrive, her cultivation is the highest, making her the leader.

Chi Rao is second, followed by Bai Hua Xianzi and Jue Ying.

For a moment, they seemed like sisters who had been separated for years.

Seeing that he couldn't get a word in edgewise, and it was about time, Ye Zhangqing greeted the four women, then led Li Tie Niu and Li Tie Dan brothers to the Canteen.

As for the four women's lunch, naturally he would wait for Ye Zhangqing to return and prepare it separately; what could he do with his own woman?

Arriving at the Canteen early, Ye Zhangqing began preparing lunch.

And as Fàn diǎn arrived, many disciples of Bai Song Gu also arrived on time.

After that previous battle, now everyone in Bai Song Gu knows Ye Zhangqing's Chúyì, so the competition is extremely fierce.

Moreover, his relationship with Qiu Baiyi is no secret in Bai Song Gu; everyone knows that this Young Master Ye is the Valley Master's dao companion, so when facing Ye Zhangqing, their attitude is extremely respectful.

But today is somewhat different from usual; a group of men appeared in the crowd.

"How could there be men?"

"They seem to be people from Young Master Ye's hometown."

"What are they doing here?"

"I don't know."

This group of men naturally are from Yun Xiantai, Hong Zun and them.

After searching for Ye Zhangqing for so long, everyone had been craving this meal; but yesterday, seeing the Three Hundred Flowers Fairy Maidens in tears, everyone endured the night, giving them the time.

Anyway, having endured so long, they didn't mind this night.

And just now, seeing many Bai Song Gu disciples rushing toward a direction, the experienced crowd almost instantly realized, 'Damn, it's time to eat!'

He checked the time; sure enough, it's that time, so of course he came along.

At this moment, Xu Jie, facing the Bai Song Gu disciples with diverse styles, a hundred flowers contending in beauty, couldn't help but grin and say.

"Shīzūn, I feel like I've come to heaven."
