"What is this sphere of light?"
After leaving the palace, Li Yang held the sphere of light, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
When he touched the sphere, he seed to feel a strange fluctuation, but other than that, he felt nothing else.
After looking at it for a while, Li Yang put it away.
’I don’t understand it, but I can just look at it more when I have free ti.’
Walking down the street, Li Yang was in an incredibly good mood.
"Haha, from now on, I don’t have to feel any pressure anymore."
In reality, Zheng Hu of the Zheng family had put quite a bit of pressure on him. But now, he too had broken through to the King Level.
"Before, I could fight Zheng Qian to a draw without relying on a Secret Pattern Divine Weapon. Now that I have the Heavy Cloud Sword, I’ll crush Zheng Hu if I run into him again!" A smile played on Li Yang’s lips.
Only now did he feel truly relaxed.
Moreover, he had also redeed the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grass. When he returned this ti, his parents’ bodies would completely recover, and even beco far healthier than before!
His heart filled with joy. Li Yang was now truly at ease, without a single worry in the world.
’However, there’s one more thing I have to do before I go back.’ A slight smile touched Li Yang’s lips.
He looked at his phone, where there was a ssage from Zhou Yao.
After a mont’s thought, Li Yang called her back.
Zhou Yao was in Jing City right now.
...
In the Zhou family ho, a large crowd surrounded Zhou Yao. Old Master Zhou, in particular, was beaming, his face lit up in a wide, wrinkled smile.
A great opportunity! This was the great opportunity the Zhou family had been dreaming of.
Hua Country’s youngest King Level Cultivator. If they could form a connection—an intimate connection, even—with soone like that, what family would dare look down on the Zhou family ever again?
Zhou Yao could only offer a wry smile in her heart as she looked at the elders—her parents, grandfather, and others—before her.
She felt completely helpless but didn’t know what to say.
She’d told them she and Li Yang were just friends, but her family didn’t believe her at all.
’Just friends? Then why did she speak up for Li Yang when Zheng Yi was going against him?’
’Just friends? Then why would Li Yang say what he did when faced with Zhou Tiantao’s warning?’
BUZZ...
Just then, Zhou Yao’s phone rang.
She glanced at it and froze.
It wasn’t just her; the other mbers of the Zhou family also saw the na on the screen.
"It’s a call from Li Yang!"
Zhou Xiaoyun said with a smile, "Yaoyao, hurry up and answer it."
Her eyes were filled with obvious envy for her niece. ’How nice.’ The man Zhou Yao liked was a Cultivator, and an outstanding one at that, so the entire Zhou family supported it.
The man she liked, however, was just an ordinary person. It would be very difficult for them to be together.
She had seen on her WeChat Monts that the man she liked had been on a blind date and had gotten engaged not long ago.
Zhou Yao glanced at Old Master Zhou and the others. Seeing this, Old Master Zhou said with a grin, "Yaoyao is shy. Let’s all step out."
He led everyone out of the room.
Seeing them leave, Zhou Yao finally answered the call.
The mont the call connected, Zhou Yao was stunned by what Li Yang said.
"Li Yang, you have sothing to say to ?"
On the phone, Li Yang said he was already in Jing City and wanted to et up sowhere.
Zhou Yao agreed. "Okay, see you in a bit."
After hanging up, Zhou Yao walked out of her room.
Looking at the crowd waiting by her door, Zhou Yao said helplessly, "I’m going out."
"Yes, Yaoyao, Li Yang is looking for you. You should hurry."
"Make sure you get along well with Li Yang."
Since the call had just co from Li Yang, everyone knew she was going out because of him.
Hearing her family’s words, Zhou Yao sighed inwardly. She felt as if her family was in a hurry to push her out the door.
Although she understood this was how things were in a top-tier, wealthy family, she still felt a little uncomfortable now that it was happening to her.
"Yaoyao, let drive you," Zhou Xiaoyun offered.
She knew what her family was like, but she was powerless to resist.
"Okay, Auntie."
...
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
"Go on, Yaoyao. I won’t go with you to et Li Yang," Zhou Xiaoyun said with a smile. "Maybe Li Yang is going to confess to you," she added cheekily.
Hearing this, Zhou Yao shook her head helplessly. She and Li Yang hadn’t reached that stage yet. He had always kept his distance, seeming both close and far at the sa ti.
"Huh? Zhou Xiaoyun?" As she was speaking, two figures, a man and a woman, approached from a short distance away. The man’s voice was filled with pleasant surprise.
The man looked to be in his twenties and was handso, though his figure was very thin. He looked at Zhou Xiaoyun, his face full of delight.
"Chen Jiamu?"
Seeing the young man, Zhou Xiaoyun’s expression imdiately soured.
’Damn it, I ran into this sticky pest again.’
She really didn’t know where Chen Jiamu found such patience. He had been pursuing her for two years. She had rejected him ti and again, but he was like a stubborn leech she couldn’t shake off.
Next to Chen Jiamu was a girl who looked to be about twenty.
"Second Brother, is this the Zhou family’s Xiaoyun you like so much?" the girl asked with a smile, glancing at Zhou Xiaoyun.
She was Chen Jiamu’s younger sister. She had been abroad and had only returned ho a few days ago.
Resigned, Zhou Xiaoyun turned to Zhou Yao and said, "Yaoyao, you go on ahead. I’ll deal with this."
Li Yang was waiting.
"Okay, Auntie." Zhou Yao glanced at Chen Jiamu and his sister before leaving first.
"Second Brother, who was that?" Chen Shanshan asked curiously as she watched Zhou Yao leave.
She was clearly a bit interested in Zhou Yao, who was around her age.
"That’s Zhou Yao, Xiaoyun’s niece," Chen Jiamu said with a smile.
After speaking, he shalessly sidled up to Zhou Xiaoyun. "Xiaoyun, what a coincidence! We must be psychically linked."
...
Arriving at the eting spot, Zhou Yao saw Li Yang at a glance.
Li Yang turned and saw Zhou Yao. A smile appeared on his face, and he strode over to her.
"Li Yang, weren’t you on an island? How did you get back so quickly?" Zhou Yao asked curiously.
Li Yang had been ssaging her, so of course she knew he was on an island.
She knew he had revealed his King Level strength, but that was all she knew.
Hearing her question, Li Yang smiled. "I just got back. I went to the Celestial Origin Palace, and I ca to find you as soon as I left."
At his words, Zhou Yao’s face flushed slightly. "Li Yang, was there sothing you wanted to see about?"
Her relationship with Li Yang hadn’t reached that stage yet; they had only been friends before.
Looking at the girl he had liked for three years, Li Yang smiled and said, "There is sothing very important I need to tell you."
Now that Li Yang had reached this level of strength, he no longer had to worry or hold back.
Zhou Yao watched as Li Yang stared at her. Seeming to guess what was coming, she blushed and remained silent.
Under her gaze, Li Yang said softly, "Zhou Yao, be my girlfriend."
Li Yang had a direct personality; he always said what was on his mind. He’d had his concerns before, but not anymore. Naturally, he had to say it.
Hearing Li Yang say the words she had been longing to hear, Zhou Yao was montarily stunned.
Her heart surged with emotion. She nodded, a smile on her face, and said, "Okay."
Not far away, two people were walking over and happened to see the scene. From their faces, it was clear they were Chen Jiamu and Chen Shanshan.
Chen Jiamu had a look of defeat on his face; he had clearly been rebuffed by Zhou Xiaoyun again.
Chen Shanshan felt helpless. Her second brother really was hopelessly devoted.
She looked into the distance and suddenly said in surprise, "Soone’s confessing, and the person he’s confessing to is Zhou Xiaoyun’s niece, Zhou Yao."
In reality, her Chen family had a similar status to Zhou Yao’s, and she was about the sa age as Zhou Yao. Although it was the first ti they’d t, she was clearly more interested in her peer, Zhou Yao, than in Zhou Xiaoyun.
Beside her, Chen Jiamu heard Chen Shanshan’s words and looked into the distance, his eyes widening in shock.
