"Oh, it seems your miss really has sothing to do, I will be leaving then."
Su Chen sighed after hearing this and said.
"Okay, let lead you out."
ng Jiao nodded and said.
"No need, I know the way myself, you go and tend to your matters."
Su Chen waved his hand and said.
"Really no need?"
"Really no need!"
"Alright then."
ng Jiao was still sowhat uneasy about her miss's situation so she didn't insist further.
The two of them went downstairs together, and after descending, Su Chen walked towards the door, while ng Jiao glanced at him then walked towards the hall on the side.
This showed ng Jiao's too trustful nature as she easily believed Su Chen's words, not noticing how abruptly his attitude shifted before and after.
Sure enough, halfway through the walk, Su Chen suddenly flashed into a deserted spot and circled back...
......
At the sa ti, in the hall of Lingyue Palace.
A woman dressed in white sat at the upper seat, she was Ling Yao.
Around forty years old woman with a good-looking and graceful appearance stood beside Ling Yao, draped in green clothes!
Standing on either side of the hall below were rows of won in long skirts, each holding a sword, exhibiting a classic heroine's deanor.
At the center below stood two n, one old and one young, they were Mo Wei the Young Master and Elder Chen of Shengyi Gate.
After ng Jiao entered, she directly stood beside Ling Yao. Ling Yao imdiately leaned over and whispered:
"Did you send him away?"
"Yes."
ng Jiao lightly nodded.
"Little ng girl, you're becoming more and more beautiful!"
Below, Mo Wei said with a smile.
"Humph!"
ng Jiao snorted after hearing the young man's words, her face showing disdain.
Mo Wei couldn't help but get angry, thinking:
"A little girl dares to be so impolite to , just wait until I marry your miss, you won't escape my grasp!"
"Steward Liu, n must marry won at the right age, that's how it's always been."
Elder Chen clasped his fists and said:
"This is our fifth ti proposing, we hope Steward Liu can grant this wish."
"Sorry, only the Palace Master can decide the miss's marriage, I don't have the authority."
Liu Yin beside Ling Yao said indifferently.
"Then please let your Palace Master co out, so we can discuss this matter face to face?"
Elder Chen said.
"I'm sorry, our Palace Master is in closed-door training, she cannot et you at this mont."
Liu Yin replied with a blank expression.
"Hmph, still pretending, we know she isn't here."
Mo Wei and Elder Chen sneered silently.
They ca knowing that the Palace Master and two of the Stewards of Lingyue Palace were not here!
Because they know if the Palace Master were here, she would never agree to this marriage!
"I rember last year when we visited, your Palace Master said she would give us an answer next ti."
Mo Wei said aggressively:
"But this ti the Palace Master is avoiding us, what does this an?"
"What do you an avoiding us!"
Ling Yao's face turned cold upon hearing this:
"Aunt Liu already said my mother is in closed-door training!"
"Sorry, our Young Master's words were improper, please pardon us."
Elder Chen apologized with a fist salute, but his facial expression betrayed a sense of superiority!
Ling Yao and Liu Yin chose not to pursue the matter further upon hearing this.
However, their reaction confird the ssage Mo Wei and Elder Chen received!
"Steward Liu, our Young Master's admiration for your miss is as clear as day and night!"
Elder Chen raised his head and spoke:
"They are a perfect match and their union will be a celebrated event in the Martial Arts World."
"Sorry, Elder Chen, marriage is a serious matter and can only be decided by the Palace Master."
Liu Yin said calmly.
She insisted one point, that this matter must be decided by the Palace Master!
"Although your Palace Master isn't here, I believe she wouldn't oppose this."
Elder Chen spoke eloquently:
"Previously, your Palace Master said that Ling Yao was too young, she never ntioned the two were not suitable."
"Now, both of them are at the age for marriage, it's ti to consider this matter."
Elder Chen continued:
"And I believe, there isn't anyone in the Martial Arts World more suitable for Ling Yao than our Young Master."
"Since your Palace Master is not here, why not exchange marriage docunts first? If your Palace Master disagrees, we can discuss further, considering the effort we made to co here."
Ling Yao and Liu Yin were conflicted upon hearing this.
Although it sounded simple, once the marriage docunts were exchanged, the marriage would be finalized.
If they change their mind later, it would be a slap to Shengyi Gate's face!
Shengyi Gate wouldn't let it go for the sake of pride!
"Steward Liu, Miss Ling Yao, we ca from afar, don't let us return empty-handed."
Elder Chen squinted his eyes slightly:
"If that happens, how will I explain to our Sect Leader?"
This was clearly Shengyi Gate pressuring Ling Yao and Liu Yin.
Ling Yao and Liu Yin glanced at each other, feeling the pressure.
Although Lingyue Palace and Shengyi Gate are top forces in Huaxia's Martial Arts World, there's a significant gap between them!
But they equally did not want to agree to this marriage, hoping to drag this matter in a non-committal way.
"Elder Chen, Young Master Mo, apologies, exchanging marriage docunts also requires the Palace Master's approval!"
Liu Yin pondered briefly but remained firm.
"What do you an?"
Elder Chen's face darkened and he said coldly:
"You keep pushing us away, is it because you don't like our Young Master or Shengyi Gate?"
Just as Liu Yin was about to explain, a voice suddenly ca from the hall entrance:
"Of course, we don't like either of those!"
This voice caught everyone's attention imdiately!
A young man slowly walked in, his face bearing a light smile. He stepped across the threshold and walked straight into the hall.
Ling Yao and ng Jiao widened their beautiful eyes in surprise upon seeing him!
"Wasn't he gone? Why is he back?"
The others also looked at him with confusion, including Liu Yin.
Only a few people knew about Su Chen's presence here last night, not everyone was aware, let alone having seen him.
"Who are you? How are you inside Lingyue Palace?"
Said Mo Wei, the Young Master of Shengyi Gate, imdiately questioning him.
