Chapter 1007: Inescapable

Xia Tianqiong saw Ye Liuyun fleeing in disarray and couldn't help laughing.

"This guy is really timid!"

Xia Tian Yuan and Xia Tian Yu also realized at this point that Xia Tianqiong definitely had taken a liking to Ye Liuyun.

"Ninth Sister, this guy Ye Liuyun is a dangerous element!" the Fourth Prince thought for a moment and still advised her.

Xia Tian Yu also nodded from the side.

"Dangerous? Cultivators live in danger every day!" Xia Tianqiong retorted, giving the two a glance.

She also warned them: "From now on, don't meddle in my affairs, and you're not allowed to joke about him anymore!"

Saying that, she kept staring at them, as if she would attack if they didn't comply.

"I don't care, I don't care!" Xia Tian Yu immediately declared, turned and left.

The Fourth Prince also gave a helpless wry smile: "Who would dare to manage your affairs? Who could manage them?"

"That's more like it!" Seeing the Fourth Prince also back down, Xia Tianqiong finally satisfied, withdrew her gaze and got up to leave.

"Is this kid's charm really that great?"

After Xia Tianqiong left, Xia Tian Yuan kept wondering when Ye Liuyun had "seduced" Xia Tianqiong.

As Ye Liuyun walked back, he only then realized he was so nervous that sweat had broken out on his forehead.

"How did I provoke Xia Tianqiong again?"

Ye Liuyun thought back.

"Could it be the incident of sending Star Soul Grass in the middle of the night last time?"

Besides regretting in his heart, Ye Liuyun secretly warned himself never to do such a foolish thing again!

But just as he returned to his residence, he discovered Ling Shuang already waiting at the door.

"What's up? Do you need something?" Ye Liuyun thought Ling Shuang had come to see him about something.

"I missed you, so I came to see you. How about it, won't you invite me in for a seat?" Ling Shuang said openly.

Ye Liuyun's face turned red from her blunt words.

Another layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

"These two sisters, are they always this straightforward in speech?"

However, Ling Shuang also counted as a woman he had accepted, so he couldn't well refuse her at the door.

"Please come in, please come in!" he said repeatedly.

Ye Liuyun's nervous appearance made Ling Shuang purse her lips and chuckle.

After entering, Ling Shuang hadn't even sat down before she directly asked.

"How have you been getting along with my sister these past two days?"

Ye Liuyun thought he had heard some news and was jealous!

"There's nothing between us!" Ye Liuyun hurriedly explained.

Ling Shuang let out a puffed laugh.

"Why are you so nervous? Are you guilty of something?"

Ye Liuyun had no choice but to explain: "I don't have that kind of thought; I'm just afraid you'll misunderstand!"

"It seems you already know my sister's thoughts?" Ling Shuang stared at Ye Liuyun's eyes and pressed further.

Ye Liuyun nodded, but then immediately said: "But this matter has nothing to do with me!"

Ye Liuyun felt a bit wronged!

Seeing that Ye Liuyun wasn't lying, Ling Shuang was actually quite satisfied.

She smiled and said: "I know all about it. I've also talked with my sister. I promised her a chance to interact with you. As for whether you can accept her, that's up to you."

"I'm just here to state my position—I don't object to you accepting her! Moreover, not only do I not object, I actually hope you accept her. Anyway, you already have so many women; one more sister of mine won't make a difference!"

Ye Liuyun stared at Ling Shuang in shock, not knowing what to say.

He even suspected he was having auditory hallucinations!

But seeing Ling Shuang's serious expression, it didn't look like she was joking.

Ling Shuang also knew he found it hard to accept at once, so she comforted him: "As a member of the royal family, it's rare to be as fortunate as I am, able to be with the one I love. So I understand my sister's feelings."

"And you're so outstanding. I feel that I and my sister will entrust our lifelong happiness to you, and we won't be wrong. It's definitely better than her being forced by the palace to marry someone she doesn't like."

"But I already have plenty of trouble, and I don't want to provoke more women!" Ye Liuyun voiced his own difficulties.

"I know all that." Ling Shuang said calmly: "So I'm not forcing you to accept her! Your future is up to you two. I'm just telling you my thoughts so you don't have to worry."

After Ling Shuang finished speaking, she didn't wait for Ye Liuyun to refuse and left directly.

Ye Liuyun was left standing there, dazed.

"What just happened? Was that an illusion?"

Ling Shuang's bold idea, Ye Liuyun couldn't accept it for the moment.

At that moment, his clone in the Space World also sought advice from Lei Ming and Long Nv.

However, the two of them were also inexperienced in worldly affairs and had no good advice. Moreover, they didn't particularly care whether Ye Liuyun had one or two more women.

"Sigh!" his clone sighed: "Asking you two is pointless! If in this competition I can meet Xue'er and Qingcheng, I will definitely keep them by my side."

"Otherwise, if I encounter such problems later, I still won't know how to handle them."

"If by the time I see them again I've accumulated a bunch of women, how would I explain that?"

"What's there to fear? You do have a clone!" Lei Ming asked, puzzled.

"Go cultivate yourself; asking you is no better than not asking!" The clone sent Lei Ming back to cultivate.

"Forget it, let's hide for now and talk later!"

Ye Liuyun's main body also returned to the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate at this point. Since there's no way around it, let's just avoid it for now and talk later.

However, there are some people he cannot escape from even if he tries to hide.

When the gathering took place three days later, Xia Tianqiong appeared again, this time as a member of the escort, together with some Elders, responsible for protecting the safety of these representatives.

Ye Liuyun was also speechless.

"With so many Elders of high rank, what good is it to have a disciple of your Zao Hua Realm protect anything!"

But he couldn't say that out loud. The candidates weren't arranged by him, so even if he spoke, it wouldn't count.

So Ye Liuyun simply closed his eyes to cultivate, setting Xia Tianqiong aside.

Xia Tianqiong wasn't angry either, silently staying by his side, following her to cultivate.

In the end, Ye Liuyun felt quite embarrassed, thinking he had neglected her too much.

"At least you should act like a friend, say hello; the words that need to be said should still be said, right?"

After Ye Liuyun figured it out, during occasional breaks he also greeted her and said a few words.

Actually, after Ling Shuang finished chatting with Ye Liuyun, she had already told Xia Tianqiong.

So when Xia Tianqiong first saw Ye Liuyun ignoring her, she felt very sad, thinking Ye Liuyun disliked her and that she couldn't even be a friend.

Now that she sees Ye Liuyun proactively speaking to her, her mood lifts again. Toward Ye Liuyun, she cares for him in every possible way.

Even some disciples and Elders have all figured out what's going on.

At this point, Ye Liuyun again didn't know what to do, so he could only use cultivation as an excuse to find some peace for himself.
