【When Ye Zhendong saw Cui Yanshui arrive, his expression instantly stiffened. He quickly transmitted a voice to Shi Tiange, “What are you doing? It would’ve been enough for you to come take a look yourself—why did you bring her along?”】
【“Idiot! Do you think I wanted to bring her? She heard the message you sent through the communication stone, so she insisted on coming!”】
【Shi Tiange’s face was full of anxiety as she stood there, not knowing what to do.】
【Ye Zhendong felt completely numb.】
【“What? The message I sent you—how could you let her hear it? Isn’t this just slapping her in the face? How am I supposed to face Xiaoshui in the future?”】
【Shi Tiange continued transmitting, “Now is not the time to talk about that. The priority is figuring out how to separate the two of them!”】
【“Remember—no matter what, you must protect that young girl’s safety!”】
【On the way here, Shi Tiange had already taken a look at Qi Yuan.】
【To be fair, that old man’s judgment was quite accurate.】
【This young girl looked pure and gentle at first glance, with a refined and elegant demeanor. If Yu’er married her, it might actually be even better!】
【Thus, Shi Tiange instantly switched sides and emphasized that Ye Zhendong must ensure Qi Yuan’s safety.】
【After all, a newly ascended New God Realm cultivator who had just arrived in the God Realm was no match for Cui Yanshui!】
【While Shi Tiange and Ye Zhendong were communicating—】
【Cui Yanshui had already finished observing Qi Yuan and stepped forward on her own initiative.】
【That small movement alone caused Shi Tiange and Ye Zhendong to tense up completely, immediately springing into action!】
【Shi Tiange blocked in front of Cui Yanshui, while Ye Zhendong stood in front of Qi Yuan.】
【Both elders looked as if they were facing a great enemy.】
【Cui Yanshui said softly, “Uncle, Aunt, what are you doing?”】
【Her tone was casual, no different from before.】
【But her eyes were incomparably bright, as if they could see through the heart!】
【This oppressive presence of the main wife was simply too strong!】
【If it had been before, Shi Tiange and Ye Zhendong would have felt only satisfaction.】
【They would have believed that only Cui Yanshui was qualified to be Yu’er’s wife. Setting everything else aside, just her presence alone was enough to make anyone uneasy!】
【This was the kind of daughter-in-law who could truly hold the household together!】
【But times were different now!】
【Qi Yuan’s appearance had unconsciously weakened their confidence.】
【Under Cui Yanshui’s gaze, they even felt a strong sense of guilt.】
【And honestly, it made sense.】
【You, Shi Tiange, had just been discussing a wedding date with me, and before you even finished speaking, Ye Zhendong turned around and started finding another wife for Ye Yu.】
【Did you even take me seriously?】
【Don’t forget, Xuanji Hall and the Cui family are bound by a marriage agreement.】
【What, now that the Cui family has declined, you think you can bully us because we have no one left?】
【Just thinking about it was unbearable—the more they thought, the more guilty they felt.】
【Shi Tiange’s gaze even began to evade.】
【“Xiaoshui, we... we’re not doing anything. Why don’t we go back? We haven’t finished discussing things yet.”】
【As she spoke, Shi Tiange prepared to pull Cui Yanshui away.】
【But she was refused.】
【“Uncle Ye brought a guest. How can we leave without greeting her?”】
【Cui Yanshui walked past Shi Tiange and went straight forward.】
【Ye Zhendong forced out a smile, wanting to say something. But due to his nervousness, he couldn’t find the right words.】
【Cui Yanshui’s gaze remained calm as she repeated, “I’m just greeting her. Uncle Ye, please step aside.”】
【At this point, Ye Zhendong had no choice but to move aside and open a path.】
【However, he did not step far away, remaining only one step from Qi Yuan.】
【This distance was safe—no matter what happened, he could act immediately.】
【Shi Tiange was the same, remaining vigilant against any possibility.】
【Seeing this scene, Qi Yuan also sensed something unusual.】
【However, she truly could not understand why things were like this.】
【Cui Yanshui stood proudly in place, like a white swan.】
【“Hello. Let me introduce myself. I am Cui Yanshui, head of the Cui family—and Ye Yu’s fiancée.”】
【Hearing this, Qi Yuan hesitated slightly, but she was not particularly surprised.】
【Because in the Celestial World’s Tower of Non-Action, she had already seen many of Ye Yu’s wives.】
【Now that she had arrived in the God Realm, it was perfectly normal for the senior to have one more fiancée.】
【It could only be said that the senior’s charm was truly extraordinary.】
【“Hello, I am Qi Yuan.”】
【Qi Yuan’s introduction was simple, accompanied by a faint smile.】
【Cui Yanshui nodded in acknowledgment, then turned to Shi Tiange.】
【“Aunt Shi, regarding the wedding date, it would be better for Ye Yu to come and speak with me personally. I have matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”】
【As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Yanshui transformed into a streak of light and departed.】
【Her departure was decisive, without the slightest intention of lingering!】
【Seeing this, both Shi Tiange and Ye Zhendong let out a sigh of relief.】
【Mm, fortunately, nothing happened.】
【But this kind of calm was the most terrifying—it was the silence before a volcanic eruption.】
【Looking at the worried expressions of Shi Tiange and Ye Zhendong, Qi Yuan’s face stiffened slightly as she cautiously asked, “Did I come at a bad time?”】
【“No, no, no—of course not. You came at just the right time.”】
【Shi Tiange waved her hands repeatedly.】
【Of the two daughter-in-law candidates, one had already left. The remaining one had to be secured no matter what!】
【They absolutely could not lose everything.】
【That very night!】
【Within the divine stone mine of Xuanji Hall, after his efforts, Ye Yu successfully stepped into the early stage of the Golden God Realm.】
【This feeling of power filled him with reassurance.】
【Soon after, he sensed the vibration of his communication stone.】
【Taking it out, he saw it shining like a luminous pearl!】
【The communication stones in the God Realm had been improved!】
【When a message arrives but is not checked in time, it grows brighter.】
【At this level of brightness, the messages must have piled up beyond ninety-nine!】
【Ye Yu glanced at it—all the messages were from Shi Tiange and Ye Zhendong!】
【He selected the most recent one and opened it.】
【In the next instant, Ye Zhendong’s roar burst out!】
【“Yu’er, return to Xuanji Hall immediately!”】
【The sheer volume made Ye Yu frown and dig at his ear.】
【What could possibly have made that old man so anxious?】
【He then checked the earlier messages one by one and finally understood everything.】
【It turned out that Qi Yuan had arrived at Xuanji Hall, and Ye Zhendong and Shi Tiange were urging him to return and meet her.】
【Seriously, she came, so what? Why are the two of you so worked up?】
【He truly couldn’t understand it!】
