【Ye Yu walked to the left side of the room in disbelief, staring at the missing wall and the smiling Ye Zhendong, his eyes full of shock.】
【To be honest, he was starting to suspect there was something wrong with his eyes.】
【By all reasonable logic, within Xuanji Hall, the highest authority was shared equally by Ye Yu and Shi Tiange—both above Ye Zhendong.】
【The fact that he didn’t usually bully the old man was already him being merciful.】
【Since when did it become the old man’s turn to blow up his place?】
【Where exactly did he get the courage for this?】
【Ye Yu walked straight up to Ye Zhendong, stared at him for a long moment, and asked in a low voice: Old man, have you lost your mind?】
【Not at all. Your mother told me to build a room for Cui Yanshui, so I picked this spot. And since your wall was in the way, I just tore it down while I was at it!】
【Ye Zhendong grinned, then waved toward two God Clan members not far away.】
【Come over. Build it right here. The two rooms must be connected—no obstructions whatsoever. This is the Hall Master’s order!】
【Upon hearing this, the two God Clan members rushed over and formed hand seals.】
【A structure rose from the ground, directly connecting to Ye Yu’s room, with no wall separating them.】
【It could practically be called a single room!】
【Good, very good—forcing a man and a woman to share a room, huh!】
【What a brilliant move!】
【Ye Yu’s breathing grew rapid, clearly from anger!】
【Ye Zhendong immediately put up his defenses.】
【Hey, if you’ve got complaints, don’t come to me—go talk to your mother. She’s the one who ordered this!】
【Ye Yu turned around furiously, threw out a “You’ve got some nerve,” and left immediately!】
【His home had just been hijacked for no reason. Fine—if it’s taken, then it’s taken. At worst, he just wouldn’t sleep there this month. So what!】
【I’d rather die than submit!】
【With his hands clasped behind his back, he strode out with absolute determination!】
【Over the next month, Ye Yu truly never returned to his room, not even going near it.】
【Every day, he stayed in a side hall, watching the performances of a dance competition.】
【Strangely enough—】
【During this entire period, Cui Yanshui never once came to look for him!】
【Even Ye Zhendong and Shi Tiange didn’t urge him at all, as if the matter had been completely forgotten!】
【This made Ye Yu very curious. He wanted to ask someone about it, but it didn’t feel appropriate, so he could only suppress the question in his heart.】
【In the blink of an eye, the final day of the one-month period arrived.】
【The dance competition also entered its final stage.】
【Only two divine maidens remained on stage, preparing for the final showdown.】
【But Ye Yu, seated high in the main position, had no interest in watching.】
【For some reason, he felt uneasy.】
【It was as if Cui Yanshui would unleash some kind of ultimate move at the very end!】
【To the point that he couldn’t even focus on the final performance!】
【Ye Yu rubbed his brow, looking troubled.】
【Forget it. Worrying is useless. If it’s a blessing, it won’t be a disaster; if it’s a disaster, there’s no escaping it!】
【Why think so much!】
【Ye Yu waved his hand slightly, signaling for the final performance to begin!】
【The sound of the zither rose, and the two divine maidens prepared to dance.】
【But at that very moment, a figure appeared, knocking the two aside, and began dancing gracefully in sync with the music.】
【Every movement exuded feminine elegance.】
【Objectively speaking, this dance far surpassed the two finalists by several levels.】
【Even before the performance ended, the champion of this dance competition was already decided!】
【But why did it have to be her—Cui Yanshui?】
【Was this her ultimate move?】
【Ye Yu stood frozen in place, his eyes filled with shock.】
【What he didn’t know was that in the main hall, Shi Tiange had already used a mirroring technique to observe everything happening here.】
【Ye Zhendong smiled and said: Xiaoshui’s dance is truly beautiful—look, Yu’er’s eyes are completely glued to her!】
【Isn’t that so? I always knew this girl Xiaoshui had potential since she was young!】
【Shi Tiange’s face was full of pride.】
【Though she appeared calm on the surface, she was actually more anxious than anyone.】
【At the very start of the one-month period, she had urged Cui Yanshui to interact more with Ye Yu and build a relationship.】
【But Cui Yanshui’s response had left Shi Tiange speechless.】
【Aunt Shi, I know what I’m doing. I will make Ye Yu fall for me. If I can’t, then forcing him won’t help anyway. So please let me handle everything myself and refrain from interfering.】
【Her words were logical and carried complete confidence!】
【As expected of a direct daughter from a great family—her speech and demeanor were on a completely different level.】
【Much better than that brat Ye Yu.】
【Because of this, Shi Tiange became even more satisfied with Cui Yanshui.】
【So for the entire month, she simply waited.】
【She hadn’t expected Cui Yanshui to break the situation like this—grabbing her son’s attention in one decisive move.】
【Good, good, good—this can work!】
【With such a beautiful dance, who wouldn’t be captivated?】
【Meanwhile, as the music stopped, the performance ended!】
【Cui Yanshui stood alone on the stage, like a proud white swan.】
【As for the two divine maidens, they had already left.】
【They had enough self-awareness to know that staying would only bring humiliation, so it was better to step down early with dignity.】
【After all, if they refused to leave with dignity, someone else would help them do so.】
【Zhang Jiuyou walked over to Ye Yu with a smile and said in a low voice: Young master, is there even a need to compare? This old servant believes the champion of the dance competition has already been decided. Isn’t that right?】
【Ye Yu suddenly snapped back to his senses, his brows instinctively furrowing as he was about to speak—】
【But then he saw Cui Yanshui take a step forward and appear right in front of him.】
【Shall we find somewhere to talk?】
【Hearing this, Ye Yu felt resistance from the bottom of his heart.】
【So he said in a low voice: We’ll talk right here.】
【Alright.】
【Cui Yanshui nodded, then shifted her gaze to Zhang Jiuyou beside them, saying nothing.】
【But her eyes made everything clear—you should all leave.】
【How could someone as perceptive as Zhang Jiuyou fail to understand? He immediately turned and left, taking all the surrounding attendants and divine maidens with him.】
【Very quickly, the entire side hall was emptied!】
【Cui Yanshui then took out a wooden token and activated it.】
【A barrier instantly rose around them, completely isolating the area.】
【Even Shi Tiange’s mirroring technique could no longer observe what was happening inside.】
【After finishing all this, Cui Yanshui said calmly: I need the support of Xuanji Hall. Only then can I secure the position of clan head.】
【I know you don’t like me. Coincidentally, I don’t like you either. So we can set an engagement, but never meet. That alone is enough. I will provide sufficient resources to show my sincerity. You won’t have to be nagged by your mother anymore. We each get what we need—a win-win.】
