【Hearing Ye Yu’s question, Qi Yuan’s face instantly flushed red.】
【The senior must have seen her secretly looking at his portrait. Otherwise, he would never have asked such a question.】
【Qi Yuan did not dare to lie and could only answer softly, "It was given to me by an older sister from the Wuwei Tower. I felt that your kindness toward me is as heavy as a mountain, so I wanted to see what you look like, and repay you after I reach the God Realm."】
【Ye Yu smiled and said, "There is no need to repay me. You just need to cultivate diligently and break through as soon as possible. That is my greatest wish. I ask for nothing else."】
【Qi Yuan’s expression stiffened, and a trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes, but it was quickly hidden.】
【Although she did not understand why Ye Yu kept urging her to cultivate,】
【since the senior wanted her to do so, she would simply do it seriously.】
【So Qi Yuan immediately stated that she would do her utmost to improve her cultivation as quickly as possible.】
【At the same time, she took the opportunity to make a small request.】
【"Senior, if I encounter any problems in cultivation, may I ask you for guidance?"】
【Qi Yuan’s expression was very sincere, with a hint of unease in her eyes.】
【The reason she did not want to remain in the Wuwei Tower and insisted on going out on her own was precisely to have more opportunities to communicate with Ye Yu!】
【Even if it was only to discuss cultivation!】
【If this request had been made earlier, Ye Yu would have refused without hesitation!】
【After all, in the early days, he had never truly undergone proper cultivation and had relied entirely on rewards from his dreams to improve.】
【So asking him to guide someone in cultivation would have been almost impossible.】
【But now things were different. Ever since he obtained the dream talent of heaven defying comprehension,】
【any problem related to cultivation had become trivial for Ye Yu!】
【Thus, he readily agreed and even intended to guide Qi Yuan on the spot!】
【But at that moment, a knock sounded at the door.】
【This forced Ye Yu to temporarily close the Cloud Nurturing Compass as he softly said, "Come in."】
【The door slowly opened, and Cui Rui walked in from outside!】
【Seeing her arrival, Ye Yu felt somewhat puzzled.】
【"It’s so late. What brings Second Miss here?"】
【Cui Rui looked around at the somewhat simple surroundings and said with interest, "Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that? It’s so late, and instead of being with Cui Yanshui, you’re hiding here. What are you trying to do? Or is it that she won’t let you in?"】
【Hearing this, Ye Yu let out a light laugh and said nothing.】
【Because there was simply no way to respond to that!】
【The matter of a fake marriage alliance could only be known by him and Cui Yanshui, so he absolutely could not say it.】
【If he said Cui Yanshui would not let him in, it would make him look weak.】
【If he said he did not want to be with her, it would surely lead to misunderstandings.】
【So it was better to say nothing and let Cui Rui imagine things herself!】
【Seeing that Ye Yu had no intention of speaking, Cui Rui tactfully did not press further and instead sat down directly across from him.】
【Getting straight to the point, she said, "Am I beautiful?"】
【Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and replied softly, "What do you mean by that?"】
【Objectively speaking, the Cui family had good genes.】
【Both men and women were quite attractive.】
【Cui Yanshui and Cui Rui were among the best, both possessing stunning beauty.】
【If he had to compare, Ye Yu would still choose Cui Yanshui, because their types were different!】
【Cui Yanshui perfectly matched his aesthetic preference.】
【The difference was immediately clear.】
【But considering they were all relatives, Ye Yu still gave face and said,】
【"Beautiful."】
【These two words were not insincere.】
【Cui Rui was indeed very beautiful, just not his type.】
【Saying she was beautiful was not wrong!】
【Bang!】
【Cui Rui suddenly slammed the table.】
【"Good. With that one sentence, it’s enough. Tomorrow morning, cancel your engagement with Cui Yanshui and marry me!"】
【In an instant, Ye Yu felt completely numb!】
【What kind of words were those?】
【The younger sister, on the first day of meeting, asking him to dump her sister and be with her!】
【Was this really the plot of a fantasy world and not a melodrama?】
【But to be fair, that kind of premise would definitely attract attention...】
【"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"】
【Ye Yu waved his hand and said, "Even as a joke, that goes a bit too far."】
【Cui Rui placed both hands on the table, stood up, and said extremely seriously, "I’m not joking. I’m serious. Marry me. I’ll marry you. The first branch is full of dull people who can’t say a complete sentence even after a long time."】
【"But our second branch is full of passion!"】
【"If you agree, I’ll go apply for it right now."】
【"Don’t say you can’t bear to part. That woman Cui Yanshui may not even be able to secure the position of family head."】
【"On the contrary, I think my chances are greater. Help me, and what I give you will definitely be far more than what Cui Yanshui can offer!"】
【At this moment, Ye Yu was certain that Cui Rui was not joking, but completely serious!】
【However, openly stealing her sister’s man like this—how were her actions so smooth?】
【Did she not feel even the slightest guilt?】
【Cui Rui was impatient. Seeing Ye Yu remain silent, she immediately frowned and said, "You’ve been influenced by the first branch for too long. You’ve become just as dull as them. Where did your decisive boldness from before go?"】
【Ye Yu glanced toward the door, then slowly stood up.】
【"Sorry. Compared to that, I still prefer Cui Yanshui. I’m not fond of... unripe divine fruit. Wait until you grow up."】
【Hearing this, Cui Rui was completely confused.】
【"Unripe divine fruit? Wait until I grow up?"】
【She turned her head in confusion, only to discover that Cui Yanshui had appeared beside her at some unknown moment.】
【Looking at her tall figure and the assets before her,】
【Cui Rui instantly understood what Ye Yu meant!】
【She snorted coldly and left in anger.】
【From afar, she looked like a cute little potato!】
【It was indeed quite amusing!】
【But in front of sensual charm, cuteness was worthless!】
【Cui Yanshui rarely revealed a smile.】
【"Your answer just now was good. I’m very satisfied. I will consider giving you a bit more reward in the final settlement."】
【This answer also interested Ye Yu, and he immediately said, "Pleasant cooperation."】
【In the following time, the Cui family returned to its usual calm.】
【The third branch seemed to have completely disappeared, with even their members rarely seen outside.】
【And since that night, Cui Rui had not come to bother Ye Yu again, seemingly truly angered!】
【After staying at the main peak of the first branch for a month, Ye Yu finally returned to Xuanji Hall.】
