Chapter 295: with translation of chapter title

Liang sis, from now on just follow the little bro! Following the little bro, your cultivation rises quickly. Besides, you two can kiss often! Lei Ming suggested.

What are you talking about! Liang Xue felt embarrassed to admit, and immediately denied.

Several women instantly felt embarrassed. They had been with Ye Liuyun for so long, yet they had never enjoyed such treatment!

Fortunately, Wu Qingcheng helped her smooth things over, only then did Lei Ming let Liang Xue off.

Everyone had been lively for a while, then they all dispersed.

Over the next few days, they were all anxious. But after a few days passed, everything was peaceful. The Jin Family sent no one, and Wanbaoge sent no one to cause trouble.

Ye Liuyun went to ask the Grand Elder, puzzled. "Master, could it be that they are secretly plotting some big move behind the scenes?"

"Not necessarily!" The Grand Elder, who had also been monitoring the situation's development, said. "The Jin Family branch you destroyed is just a side branch; the main line of the Jin Family may not stand up for them, opposing a sect."

"What about Wanbaoge? Why is there no movement either?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

"Wanbaoge? That's hard to say! But they've had no movement for so many days, so there probably won't be any big move afterward. Maybe you, kid, have even picked up a bargain and become Wanbaoge's son-in-law!" The Grand Elder said with a smile.

"Master, don't tease me! We've already crossed swords, and I almost killed Liang Yue— I bet he won't just let me off so easily!" Ye Liuyun said helplessly.

"Maybe he'll think you're outstanding enough to be worthy of his daughter, who knows!" The Grand Elder chuckled, then added no more. "Don't think too much, just focus on your cultivation! You haven't been cultivating much lately, have you?"

"In this situation, I don't even have the mind to cultivate!" Ye Liuyun is constantly on guard against attacks every day, so he can't make any progress in cultivation.

"The more dangerous it is, the more you need to boost your strength. Without strength, you'll ultimately be unable to protect anything! You don't need to think about anything now; even if there is danger, I and the academy will stand before you. Hurry back to cultivate and break through to the Nascent Pellet Realm." The Grand Elder instructed.

"Yes!" Ye Liuyun replied, then hurried back to his residence.

Suddenly, a pressure from the late Nascent Pellet stage enveloped Tianqian Peak.

The Grand Elder and Ye Liuyun hurried out to check. Liang Xue also quickly followed. This aura was too familiar to her—it was her father Liang Yue arriving.

The ferocious beasts also all became alert, each making battle preparations.

After they went out, they only saw Liang Yue alone, hands behind his back, standing outside Tianqian Peak. Seeing Ye Liuyun and Liang Xue, he asked: "How come you've kidnapped my daughter and don't even invite me in for a cup of tea?"

The Grand Elder immediately chuckled: "Liuyun, why don't you invite your father-in-law to your main hall for tea?"

"Huh?" Ye Liuyun hadn't reacted yet. Liang Xue blushed, tugged at Ye Liuyun's sleeve, and sent a voice transmission with her divine sense: "Hurry and invite my father in—he's agreed to our matter!"

"Uncle, please!" Ye Liuyun then realized, and he and Liang Xue led the way. The Grand Elder accompanied Liang Yue as they entered Ye Liuyun's main hall.

"Hmm! Your cave dwelling's environment is not bad!" Liang Yue surveyed the situation, then followed the Grand Elder to the sitting room. The Grand Elder also took advantage of the moment to be the first to sit down.

Ru Yue hurriedly took out the best tea leaves and brewed tea for the Grand Elder and Liang Yue.

Although Ye Liuyun doesn't fuss over tea preparation, Ru Yue is very knowledgeable about it; after serving the tea, she stood aside to attend.

Liang Yue nodded, also thinking the tea was well brewed. He glanced at Ru Yue and said: "Hmm! You little rascal sure know how to enjoy yourself!"

"I am Ye Gongzi's steward!" Ru Yue, adept at reading expressions, immediately explained to avoid Liang Yue misunderstanding and delaying Ye Liuyun's important matter.

"Father, Ru Yue used to be the steward of our Water Moon Tower!" Liang Xue also hurriedly explained, while linking arms with Ye Liuyun to express her stance.

Seeing this, Liang Yue's eye twitched, he sighed, waved his hand, and said: "A married daughter is like water poured out—once she's out, she doesn't return. Let's get down to business. If you can rank in the top ten of the Holy Ranking within a year, I'll acknowledge your relationship with Xue'er. For now, I still need to take Xue'er back to nurture her; you cause too much trouble, and keeping you nearby isn't safe. Any thoughts?"

"Holy Ranking?" Ye Liuyun had never heard of this list before and had no idea what it was.

Liang Yue explained with some disdain: "The Holy Ranking is a list of the younger generation of experts in the Northern Region Holy Realm. It's an open strength ranking designed by the Northern Region Alliance."

"Father, Liuyun already has the strength to defeat a Heavenly Gang expert!" Liang Xue asked, puzzled.

"What good is that! In this backwater place, who would know? Who would acknowledge the strength of a Heavenly Gang expert from such a small place? Doesn't Wanbaoge care about face? Besides, only the top ten of the Holy Ranking will earn the Northern Region Alliance's attention and receive protection. This guy causes so much trouble; without a powerful backer, are you preparing to be hunted every day?"

Liang Yue scolded at length. But Ye Liuyun also understood: being in the top ten of the Northern Region Holy Ranking would give him fame and influence, so Liang Yue would feel at ease entrusting his daughter to him.

Liang Xue wanted to argue further, but Ye Liuyun pulled her back.

"I agree!" Ye Liuyun looked at Liang Yue with determined eyes.

Liang Yue then nodded satisfactorily. "That's more like having some ambition! Alright, I'll have a cup of tea, then take Xue'er away. You two go say your goodbyes."

"Alright, uncle, please wait a moment!" Ye Liuyun stood up, took Liang Xue's hand, and was about to leave.

Liang Yue frowned: "Why is your way of addressing me so awkward? Are you looking down on me?"

"Huh?" Ye Liuyun didn't understand what he meant.

"My foolish disciple! You're clever in other matters, but why won't you change your address to father-in-law?" The Grand Elder stroked his beard and laughed.

Liang Xue also blushed, pushing Ye Liuyun from behind.

Only then did Ye Liuyun blushingly call out: "Father-in-law!"

Only then did Liang Yue satisfiedly wave his hand, shooing them away, and then began chatting with the Grand Elder.

Ye Liuyun and Liang Xue walked out of the main hall hand in hand.

"Yikes! You scared me to death!" Ye Liuyun patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.

"Is my father really that scary? You're not afraid of death, yet you're afraid of him?" Liang Xue also teased him.

"It's not fear, just some nervousness." Ye Liuyun also laughed. Then he swept Liang Xue up in his arms, whispered by her ear: "Now that I've called you father-in-law, does that make us husband and wife?" And he kissed her.

Liang Xue lowered her head and dodged. "Pah, you wish! At most it's just an engagement. If you don't meet the requirement, don't even think about seeing me again!" She poked Ye Liuyun's forehead with her finger, scolding him playfully.

"Don't worry! It's just making the top ten of the Holy Ranking—easy for me!" Ye Liuyun said.

"You really must not be careless. Those on the Holy Ranking are all capable of challenging above their rank. Later, when you head south to develop, you'll realize how terrifying those people are. Martial arts in the south are far more flourishing than here. Those people are the true heaven-chosen ones!" Liang Xue reminded him seriously.

Ye Liuyun also spoke solemnly: "Rest assured, I won't slack off. I will definitely not be inferior to anyone else!"

Only then did Liang Xue nod in satisfaction, snuggling into Ye Liuyun's embrace. "I'll always wait for you, waiting for you to come marry me!"

"Mm, I won't let you down!"
