Chapter 1354: Presumptuous Decision

"Um, I understand!" Ye Liuyun hadn't originally blamed the Clan Chief.

The Clan Chief, considering Ye Liuyun's and A Xing's relationship, didn't give an immediate answer then, only said he would think it over.

He didn't want his daughter to be sad, nor could he hurt Ye Liuyun's feelings.

Ye Liuyun is now their tribe's great benefactor. Not only did he help them gain the great tribe's recognition, but also gave them so many techniques; he cannot be ungrateful.

The Sentian tribe also said they would decide after the betrothal gifts three days later.

After the Sentian tribe members left, the Clan Chief also asked A Xing for her opinion; in fact, he wanted to gauge how far A Xing and Ye Liuyun had progressed.

If the two's relationship wasn't deep enough to hurt Ye Liuyun, he still hoped A Xing could marry into the Sentian tribe.

Upon hearing that, A Xing immediately refused and threatened to die.

To find an excuse not to marry, she claimed Ye Liuyun would take her, and that the betrothal gifts were already prepared.

Seeing this, the Clan Chief also realized A Xing would only marry Ye Liuyun, and didn't want to force her.

After thinking, he agreed with A Xing, letting Ye Liuyun, three days later, compare his betrothal gifts with those of the Sentian tribe; A Xing would marry whoever offered more, so rejecting the Sentian tribe wouldn't blame the Clan Chief.

In truth, the Clan Chief had already decided that if Ye Liuyun's gifts were insufficient, he would count those techniques, ensuring his total would surpass the Sentian tribe's.

So Ye Liuyun was certain to win.

But A Xing didn't know the Clan Chief's plan, so she could only go to Ye Liuyun.

Even if Ye Liuyun didn't marry her, she needed his help to get past this hurdle; she didn't want to marry a stranger.

Ye Liuyun was forging at the time; after Ye Tiandao clarified the situation and was about to return to inform Ye Liuyun, Liang Xue stopped him and asked for details.

Liang Xue even put on Ye Liuyun's Invisibility Cloak and went out to observe A Xing.

Upon returning, she acted on Ye Liuyun's behalf, telling Ye Tiandao to resume, saying Ye Liuyun would marry her and she needn't worry about the betrothal gifts.

A Xing was overjoyed, not expecting Ye Liuyun truly intended to marry her.

She had no idea; it was all Liang Xue promising on Ye Liuyun's behalf.

"You promised on my behalf?" Ye Liuyun, after learning the situation, could only laugh and cry.

"You've already offended them; how can you just walk away?" Liang Xue explained.

"No, we haven't reached that stage yet!" Ye Liuyun explained.

Liang Xue shook her head: "That's just your view! When I went out to watch her, I could feel her thoughts. She will only marry you. Women are all the same; once they have you in their heart, they can't forget."

Ye Liuyun was also speechless!

He was very displeased with Liang Xue's unilateral decision. Yet now explaining to A Xing wouldn't make sense.

So he paced anxiously back and forth, not knowing what to do.

"Why are you in a hurry? You have so many wives already; one more won't hurt!" Liang Xue mocked him.

Ye Liuyun looked up at Liang Xue, only to see Lei Ming, Long Nv, and even Ye Tiandao nodding, agreeing with her words.

"Little brother, are you worried about lacking resources? At worst we can give her some!" Lei Ming said, puzzled.

"What are you talking about? I won't discuss this with you!" Ye Liuyun thought, finding it impossible to reason with these women.

So he flicked his sleeve and left the Space World.

But after leaving, he fretted, "How do I explain this to A Xing?"

After a while, Ye Tiandao also came out, saying to Ye Liuyun, "Master, the lady asked me to tell you, go with the flow; some matters need not be deliberately avoided, you must learn to face them!"

"..."

Ye Liuyun sighed, "Alas, you all make sense!"

He now wants to avoid it, but cannot; he can only go with the flow and wait for a chance to explain later!

While Ye Liuyun was fretting, the Clan Chief sent someone to find him.

"You know everything about preparing the betrothal gifts?" the Clan Chief asked.

"Yes!" Ye Liuyun answered.

The Clan Chief saw his pale face and thought he was worried about the gifts. So he comforted Ye Liuyun: "Don't worry, when the time comes, bring out those techniques you gave the tribe; they certainly can't match yours!"

"I know A Xing is devoted to you, how could I break you apart! You don't realize, when A Xing heard of the marriage alliance, she made a life‑or‑death fuss with me!"

Ye Liuyun also realized the Clan Chief's misunderstanding and immediately said, "Clan Chief, about the betrothal gifts, rest assured, I won't let A Xing marry anyone else!"

"Hmm. Since those books back you up, you have nothing to worry about. Today the Wolf‑hunting tribe also came to discuss the alliance; I'll just have them compare betrothal gifts together then."

"To save their face, the only way is to compare gifts. If they lose, they naturally won't have any complaints."

The Clan Chief summoned Ye Liuyun to explain this matter.

After Ye Liuyun returned, A Xing came holding the Demon Wolf to find him.

"You arrived just in time! Look, what is this?"

To avoid awkwardness, Ye Liuyun, upon seeing A Xing, changed the subject and showed her the bronze cauldron he had repaired.

"Ah? So beautiful!" A Xing's first glance fell on it.

"Is this the broken cauldron you brought out that day?" she said, a bit incredulous.

"Yeah! I repaired it a bit!" Ye Liuyun laughed, casually lifted the Demon Wolf from her arms and handed the bronze cauldron to A Xing.

"Careful!" A Xing warned Ye Liuyun.

But seeing the Demon Wolf obediently taken by Ye Liuyun, it behaved more docile than when it was with her.

"What's wrong?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"That little guy bites anyone except me! I thought it would bite you!" A Xing explained.

"It won't; I released it, and it recognizes me!" Ye Liuyun said.

Actually, the Demon Wolf absorbed its Demon Qi, so it recognized him. Moreover, the Demon Wolf senses Ye Liuyun's cultivation level and dares not bite him.

"Then that's good!"

A Xing then examined the bronze cauldron, feeling the aura it emitted was very powerful.

"Your Divine Sense is still weak. When your Divine Sense becomes strong, you can input a thread of Divine Sense into this bronze cauldron, and then you can control it!" Ye Liuyun explained to A Xing.

"Is it like those treasure weapons?" A Xing asked.

"Yes!" Ye Liuyun confirmed.

"Then is this bronze cauldron also a treasure?" A Xing's cultivation level is low; she can only feel that this cauldron is extraordinary, but as for exactly where its power lies, she cannot say.

"Of course! This cauldron is of the grade of a spiritual artifact!" Ye Liuyun said.
