Hearing his beloved daughter's words, it was Yan He's turn to be stunned.
Snapping back to reality, Yan He quickly asked, "What? Could it be that you've already discovered the secret within the wordless book?"
Yan Chuxin shook her head and replied to Yan He, "Dad, I need to go to the Yellow Springs Secret Realm. I need to borrow the destiny from the wordless book."
Yan He frowned, having not heard of Yan Chuxin planning to go to the Yellow Springs Secret Realm before.
"The Yellow Springs Secret Realm is extremely dangerous. You are a young lady, and even if your strength is good, you shouldn't get involved in such excitement."
Although Yan He was not a martial artist nor a cultivator, he knew what kind of place the Yellow Springs Secret Realm was.
"Let's not even talk about whether to lend it to Ye Kunlun. If you bring the wordless book into the Yellow Springs Secret Realm and something goes wrong, our Yan family's destiny will surely be damaged."
Yan He expressed his concerns.
Compared to the uncertainties of the Yellow Springs Secret Realm, Yan He would rather give the wordless book to Ye Kunlun.
"That won't happen," Yan Chuxin shook her head. "In any case, if Ye Kunlun needs the wordless book, I'll talk to him. I'll lend it to him after the Yellow Springs Secret Realm!"
"But I've already promised him that he can come to pick it up in three days."
Yan He looked troubled.
"I'll go talk to him personally."
Saying this, Yan Chuxin walked out of the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
"Sister, wait for me!" Yan Wenxin quickly put down her paintbrush and chased after Yan Chuxin. "I'll go with you."
Yan Chuxin thought for a moment and nodded.
Yan He did not stop them. Perhaps after Yan Chuxin met Ye Kunlun, her mind would change.
He actually admired Ye Kunlun quite a bit. Whether it was his strength or his character, there was nothing to fault.
"Alas, let the young people handle their own matters!"
Yan He shook his head, consoling himself.
—
Wu Jian Prison.
After holding the funeral for Blood Hand, although everyone in Wu Jian Prison was still immersed in grief, they soon became busy again.
Wudao went to prepare the medicinal ingredients for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, while Ye Kunlun was cleaning the Fuxi Cauldron.
Refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, like the Spirit Breaking Pill, required a main ingredient. Unfortunately, he did not have it on him, and he was contemplating whether to make a trip to the Kyoto Black Market.
Back in Qingcheng, he had managed to find Green Winged Immortal from the black market, so he was sure he could find the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill in Kyoto.
With that thought, Ye Kunlun decided to set off after nightfall.
Just then, Ye Kunlun sensed someone approaching Wu Jian Prison.
"Ye Kunlun, I am Yan Chuxin. Come out and meet me!"
Yan Chuxin's style of handling matters was straightforward and unhesitating. She called out to Ye Kunlun directly outside the gates of Wu Jian Prison.
"Yan Chuxin, our young master is busy and doesn't have time to see you!" Feng Tutu said coldly to Yan Chuxin, her tone unfriendly.
Yan Chuxin looked at Feng Tutu, whose eyes were red, but she didn't argue with her. Instead, she said, "I'm looking for Ye Kunlun on official business, concerning the wordless book!"
"Tutu, you go and attend to your business first."
Ye Kunlun walked out and instructed Feng Tutu.
"Yes."
"Ye Kunlun, we meet again!" Yan Wenxin said with a smile to Ye Kunlun. "Did you look carefully at the painting I gave you last time?"
Ye Kunlun had a good impression of Yan Wenxin and nodded slightly in return, "It's hanging on my room wall. If you don't believe me, come inside and see."
"I believe you," Yan Wenxin replied. "My sister has something to discuss with you. You two chat first, I'll wait for you over there."
After speaking, Yan Wenxin walked away into the distance.
Ye Kunlun calmly observed Yan Chuxin. He could tell that she had been on the battlefield for many years.
But she was different from those who had spent years on the battlefield. Yan Chuxin's skin was much fairer, and although her eyes were sharp, they also carried a subtle softness.
Ye Kunlun's first impression of Yan Chuxin was that she was a woman full of contradictions!
Similarly, Yan Chuxin was also observing Ye Kunlun.
Her understanding of Ye Kunlun was all from what she had heard from others.
This was the first time she was meeting the man she was betrothed to, and Yan Chuxin's heart was completely calm.
She was extremely firm in her idea of choosing a spouse.
Apart from looking a bit handsome, and those dark eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts,
Ye Kunlun didn't seem to have any other special qualities.
"Since it concerns the wordless book, then speak," Ye Kunlun said calmly.
"The wordless book cannot be given to you for now!" Yan Chuxin stated her purpose directly.
Ye Kunlun frowned slightly and replied calmly, "Give me a reason!"
"In three months, the Yan family will personally deliver the wordless book. Give me three months," Yan Chuxin's voice was equally calm.
Ye Kunlun's lips curved into a mocking smile. "You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me. It was your Yan family who wanted to break off the engagement, and the wordless book is my condition!"
Yan Chuxin looked into Ye Kunlun's dark eyes, her gaze slightly condensed, and a hint of coldness appeared. "Love between a man and a woman requires mutual willingness. I have no feelings for you, and you should have no feelings for me. What's wrong with peacefully calling off the engagement?"
Upon hearing Yan Chuxin's words, Ye Kunlun laughed, his eyes turning cold. "Indeed, there is nothing wrong with it, but why did the Yan family agree to the engagement with me in the first place?"
"If it weren't for my master, you would have already died from qi and blood depletion. Now you're here arguing with me? Are you worthy?!"
The phrase "Are you worthy?!" caused a hint of coldness to appear on Yan Chuxin's face.
She had a special constitution since childhood; she was a rare "cold pulse" constitution, and her blood temperature was much lower than normal people.
Back then, if it weren't for Ye Kunlun's master taking action and leaving a piece of "Warm Sun Jade" as a betrothal gift to the Yan family, Yan Chuxin would have died at the age of fourteen!
"Do you think that by fighting on the battlefield for years and utilizing the malevolent energy of blood, you can change your cold pulse?" Ye Kunlun looked at Yan Chuxin, whose face had turned cold, his tone laced with mockery.
Ye Kunlun did not spare her any courtesy and continued, "To tell you the truth, as long as you are separated from the Warm Sun Jade, the cold pulse will erupt completely. Within half a year, even if the blood malevolent energy within you is strong, you will not be able to suppress the backlash of the cold pulse!"
"By then, the Warm Sun Jade will also be unable to suppress the cold pulse."
Upon hearing Ye Kunlun's words, a flicker of surprise flashed in Yan Chuxin's eyes!
This was because fighting on the battlefield and condensing the power of blood malevolence was taught to her by a powerful figure from an ancient sect, who later became her master. Only by doing so could she suppress the cold pulse!
Yet, Ye Kunlun claimed this method was useless.
Yan Chuxin did not believe it!
She believed her master's words, but not Ye Kunlun's.
"Ye Kunlun, you are even more arrogant and conceited than I thought. There are many people stronger than you in this world. In my eyes, you are merely a frog in a well!"
Yan Chuxin's expression was blank. Ye Kunlun's words just now seemed like arrogant ignorance to her.
"I will repay the kindness of the Warm Sun Jade, so the Yan family will also give you the wordless book!"
Ye Kunlun almost laughed. There were many people stronger than him in this world? He was a frog in a well?
If he hadn't known that he had one hundred and eight masters who were invincible in the world, he would have truly been fooled by Yan Chuxin.
"You are truly foolish and naive!"
Ye Kunlun's tone was filled with amusement. "Alright, I'll give you three months! But before that, I want to take back the Warm Sun Jade first!"
