Chapter 538: I Don't Like You
Ye Guan was curious and asked, "What's going on?"
Qin Guan smiled. "The Clan Leader of the Past Clan has just invited the Zhen Clan and our Phoenix Emperor World has been sealed by an array. People can come in, but they can't leave." VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Ye Guan asked in a low voice, "Is the Zhen Clan very powerful?"
Qin Guan nodded. "Our Time Pavilion has a few elites from the Zhen Clan. The Zhen Clan isn't exactly a strong clan, but they're masters of arrays. I once tried to invite them myself, but their clan leader refused my offer.
"I didn't expect that the Clan Leader of the Past Clan would be able to persuade them."
Ye Guan's expression darkened. "How many elites are working for her?"
"I don't know, but there are definitely countless of them. Come here; I'll take you somewhere."
"Where to?"
"You'll know soon."
Qin Guan brought Ye Guan and Erya to a teleportation array. They entered it together, and they soon arrived at the summit of a towering mountain.
The faint silhouette of palaces and buildings could be seen in the depths of the mountain.
Ye Guan was somewhat puzzled. "Where are we, Mother?"
Qin Guan was about to speak when a middle-aged man appeared in front of the three of them. He stared deeply at Ye Guan before his gaze settled on Qin Guan.
"Pavilion Master Qin, welcome back," said the middle-aged man.
Qin Guan smiled. "Master Tian, I'm not here for you."
Master Tian frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Pavilion Master Qin?"
Qin Guan merely smiled.
Rumble!
The spacetime behind Master Tian was torn open, and a lady walked out of the rift.
Ye Guan was stunned upon seeing the lady, as she was none other than Ye Nanqing!
What is she doing here? thought Ye Guan.
Ye Nanqing stared wordlessly at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan walked up to Ye Nanqing and asked with a smile, "Lady Nanqing, you're a Tian Clan member in your past life?"
Ye Nanqing nodded slightly.
"I had no idea that you're from one of the Four Ancient Clans," said Ye Guan with a shake of his head and a smile. Then, he seemed to have recalled something as he opened his palm, revealing a storage ring. "Nanqing, this is for you."
Ye Nanqing's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. "What is this?"
"Take a look," Ye Guan said.
Ye Nanqing glanced at Ye Guan before opening the storage ring.
A wisp of deep red energy drifted out of the storage ring.
Ye Nanqing and Master Tian's expressions changed drastically.
It was a strand of Ancestral Origin!
Master Tian was visibly shocked. Fuck, this guy is giving out strands of Ancestral Origin upon meeting someone?
Erya's lips curled up into a smile. So this grandson of mine is trying to impress girls.
Qin Guan looked at her son, smiling with a hint of helplessness. She could sense that he had no ulterior motives and was only trying to express gratitude for Ye Nanqing's assistance. However, Ye Guan had no idea that his actions could make anyone out there misunderstand his intentions.
A man's extraordinary generosity would always fascinate a woman. After all.
The Tian Clan wouldn't be able to resist by then.
Ye Nanqing couldn't help but sigh. The war had engulfed the entire vast expanse.
Every major power wouldn't be able to avoid getting involved.
Ye Nanqing said, "The Past Clan has approached us."
Clearly, Ye Nanqing was trying to secure more benefits for the Tian Clan.
Qin Guan pointed out. "Lady Nanqing, aren't you married to my son?"
Master Tian turned to look at Ye Nanqing in shock.
Ye Nanqing remained calm and asked, "Young Lord Ye, did you reveal our arrangement to the Pavilion Master?"
"Lady Nanqing, if what you're doing is for the sake of the Tian Clan, I dare say that the best thing you've done for the clan is getting married to my son."
Ye Nanqing frowned.
Qin Guan turned to Ye Guan and said, "Have a chat with Lady Nanqing."
Qin Guan then left with Erya and Little White. Master Tian hesitated for a while before he turned around to leave as well.
Ye Nanqing looked at Ye Guan without a word.
Ye Guan smiled and asked, "Shall we take a stroll?"
"Let's talk about business."
"What do you want?"
"What do you mean?"
"Whatever the Tian Clan wants, I promise to give it if I have it."
"Why would you go that far?"
"Because I don't want the two of us to become enemies."
Ye Nanqing's calm heart suddenly skipped a beat. However, she remained quiet as she stared at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan smiled and said, "I'm serious."
After a few moments of silence, Ye Nanqing suddenly asked, "Do you like me?"
Ye Guan was stunned. He didn't think that she would be so straightforward.
However, Ye Nanqing begged to differ. She was strong enough to afford to be straightforward. Furthermore, she had been pursuing the Great Dao all her life, and romantic relationships had never been on her mind.
In other words, her inexperience allowed her to talk so easily about it.
Ye Nanqing stared at Ye Guan, waiting for the latter's response.
Ye Guan smiled and said, "Lady Nanqing, I've come here to talk to you."
"Aren't we already talking? Or was my question too difficult for you to answer?"
"Lady Nanqing, I was truly grateful for your help when we were both in the Eternal Night Empire. I only said those because—"
"Stop. You don't have to say so many words," Ye Nanqing interrupted, "I just want you to answer my question. Let's be straightforward, shall we? I'm busy with my cultivation, so if you don't like me, we can just pursue our own paths.
"I'm not going to my time on something meaningless."
Ye Guan was speechless. Wow, Nanqing...
Ye Nanqing stared deeply at Ye Guan. "Is it that difficult to answer? We're all cultivators here. What's the point of beating around the bush?"
"All right," Ye Guan nodded. Then, he calmly said, "I don't like you."
