Ye Kunlun gripped the key in his hand, remaining silent.
"What is this key?" Tang Zhuozhuo couldn't help but ask.
"My grandfather left it!"
Ye Kunlun didn't hide it from Tang Zhuozhuo.
Tang Zhuozhuo remained silent. Before returning to the capital, her understanding of Ye Kunlun was limited to knowing he possessed the Pure Yang Physique. It was only after returning to the capital that she learned of the significant stir Ye Kunlun had caused in just a few days! This sparked a deep curiosity within her about him.
"Thank you!"
Ye Kunlun put away the key and thanked Tang Zhuozhuo, "I owe you a great favor!"
Tang Zhuozhuo looked surprised, not expecting Ye Kunlun to thank her. Her previously tense emotions relaxed.
"There's no need to be so polite," Tang Zhuozhuo smiled again. "By the way, the place I went to is not far from the Northern Frontier War Department. If you want to go, I can guide you there."
Ye Kunlun nodded and said to Tang Zhuozhuo, "The Earth Flame Jade can suppress the Pure Yang energy within you, but it only suppresses it."
As he spoke, Ye Kunlun placed a palm on Tang Zhuozhuo's chest. Tang Zhuozhuo felt Ye Kunlun's hand was incredibly hot, and her cheeks immediately flushed. Then, a searing force entered her body, circulating through her meridians for two full cycles.
"To completely resolve the side effects of the Pure Yang Physique, you need to cultivate a corresponding Pure Yang cultivation technique!"
Ye Kunlun withdrew his hand and smiled faintly at Tang Zhuozhuo, "Did you remember the mental cultivation method I just taught you?"
Tang Zhuozhuo nodded, sensing a warm current flowing through her meridians along a path set by Ye Kunlun. As the mental cultivation method was activated, the Pure Yang energy within her dissolved into her meridians and returned to her dantian.
"Since ancient times, women have possessed the Pure Yang Physique!" Ye Kunlun continued to tell Tang Zhuozhuo.
Since Tang Zhuozhuo had brought him clues about his grandfather, Ye Kunlun didn't mind helping her along the way.
"It is extremely rare, though. Without special mental cultivation methods and techniques, they generally don't live past twelve years old."
"Moreover, the Pure Yang Physique is a superior cultivation constitution. Women who cultivate it become even stronger than men!"
"My eldest master once told me that there was a woman with the Pure Yang Physique who broke the shackles of this world."
Ye Kunlun recalled his eldest master's words. At the time, he had taken them as mere stories, but upon meeting Tang Zhuozhuo, he truly believed that women with the Pure Yang Physique existed.
"Cultivate this Xuan Yang Art, along with the mental cultivation method!"
Ye Kunlun touched Tang Zhuozhuo's forehead from behind, directly sending a divine sense into her sea of consciousness. Instantly, a cultivation technique appeared in Tang Zhuozhuo's memory. With just a brief glance, Tang Zhuozhuo recognized the Xuan Yang Art as at least a Heaven-grade technique.
"Thank you!"
Tang Zhuozhuo thanked Ye Kunlun with a blush.
"By the way, my birthday is this weekend." Tang Zhuozhuo remembered something. "If you have time, I'd like to invite you."
After speaking, Tang Zhuozhuo looked at Ye Kunlun with anticipation.
"Give me the address. I'll go if I have time," Ye Kunlun replied calmly.
Tang Zhuozhuo's face lit up with joy. "Then I'll take that as a yes!"
Saying this, Tang Zhuozhuo picked up Ye Kunlun's phone from the table and sent herself a text message, "My phone number!"
Afterward, Tang Zhuozhuo prepared to leave. At that moment, Feng Tutu's voice came from outside, "Young Master, someone from Qintian Tower is here and wants to see you!"
Ye Kunlun then remembered Nangong Yunshao's matter, calculating that the time was about right.
Tang Zhuozhuo glanced at Ye Kunlun suspiciously, "What were you two talking about? Did he bully you?"
"He's not a wolf," Tang Zhuozhuo pinched Tang Tangtang's cheek. "Don't speak ill of your brother-in-law in the future!"
"Ah? Brother-in-law?" Tang Tangtang was stunned. "No, I don't agree! I'm going back to tell Grandpa! Let Grandpa call off the engagement!"
Tang Tangtang firmly disagreed with her elder sister marrying Ye Kunlun. Tang Zhuozhuo was helpless, unable to do anything about her beloved sister.
Ye Kunlun ignored the sisters' bickering and looked at the person brought by Wu Dao. To his surprise, it was an old acquaintance.
Xu Zhenzi walked towards Ye Kunlun with a smile, showing a hint of subservience, "Mr. Ye, we meet again after a few days."
"Speak, what business do you have in my Wujian Prison?" Ye Kunlun asked knowingly.
Xu Zhenzi showed a trace of awkwardness and quickly handed Ye Kunlun an invitation, "Mr. Ye, the楼主 wishes to invite you for tea at the tower. Please do us the honor."
Ye Kunlun glanced at the black invitation with gold lettering in Xu Zhenzi's hand. It bore the image of a Tai Chi Bagua.
"Sorry, I'm not interested!" Ye Kunlun flatly refused. Gu Changsheng clearly wanted the Star Soul Jade in his possession, yet he was inviting him under the guise of tea. This was quite a display of arrogance. Ye Kunlun would not grant him this favor!
Xu Zhenzi's face faltered slightly as he pleaded, "Mr. Ye, we have met a few times. Please give us some face."
Tang Zhuozhuo watched Ye Kunlun with eager eyes. She knew that Qintian Tower was an transcendent existence in the capital. Everyone the楼主 invited showed him respect! Yet, Ye Kunlun had actually refused. Tang Zhuozhuo's eyes curved into crescents; the man she fancied was indeed extraordinary.
"Face?" Ye Kunlun scoffed. "Go back and tell Gu Changsheng that Nangong Yunshao has broken off our engagement. If he wants the Star Soul Jade in my hand, he can kneel from Qintian Tower all the way to Wujian Prison to beg me!"
Xu Zhenzi's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
"Mr. Ye, the楼主 cannot be insulted!" Xu Zhenzi warned Ye Kunlun.
"Scram!" Ye Kunlun showed no pleasantries to Xu Zhenzi. Leaving him with his dog's life was already a generous act.
Ye Kunlun's single word, "Scram," caused Xu Zhenzi's blood to surge, nearly making him spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Mr. Ye, I will relay your words truthfully." Xu Zhenzi knew that if he continued, his life might be in danger.
After Xu Zhenzi left, Tang Zhuozhuo stared intently at Ye Kunlun and asked, "You also had an engagement with Nangong Yunshao?"
"What? You didn't know?" Ye Kunlun looked at Tang Zhuozhuo in surprise. He had initially thought the engagement with his family was not a secret among the Seven Clans of the Capital, but it seemed the clans were unaware of each other's arrangements.
Tang Zhuozhuo shook her head and replied, "No, only a few people in my clan know about my engagement."
"Two days ago, Nangong Yunshao came to break off the engagement," Ye Kunlun replied.
"Nangong Yunshao truly is conceited!" Tang Zhuozhuo's tone held a hint of disdain, clearly indicating her dislike for Nangong Yunshao.
