When it came to efficiency, there were probably very few people who could match Shi Tiange and Ye Zhendong.
In just a short while, they had nearly finished writing the invitations!
When Ye Yu looked at the stack of golden booklets piled up like a small mountain, he was completely stunned.
"What are you two even doing?"
"What are we doing? Of course we’re preparing for your wedding! I already asked Qi Yuan—she’s very willing to become your dao partner. So I’ve made the decision. The wedding is tomorrow. Here, the invitations!"
As Shi Tiange spoke, she picked up a golden booklet and tossed it over.
Ye Yu caught it and took a look, only to find two names clearly written on it.
Ye Yu and Qi Yuan, united in marriage, year after year...
What followed was a long string of auspicious phrases, enough to make anyone feel the overwhelming festive atmosphere.
"Stop!"
Seeing that Shi Tiange and Ye Zhendong were still diligently writing, Ye Yu quickly called for a halt.
After successfully drawing their attention, he said in a deep voice,
"Old man, didn’t I already tell you? Things between Qi Yuan and me are still undecided. We’ll talk about it after I’ve thought it through. Didn’t you tell my mother?"
Ye Zhendong replied with a look of grievance,
"I did! But when has your mother ever listened to me? The moment she saw her, she told me to start writing invitations. She even said if I didn’t obey, she’d break my legs!"
"Oh, right. She also said that if you dare refuse to get married tomorrow, she’ll break your legs too!"
Shi Tiange nodded expressionlessly, clearly confirming that the threat was real.
Ye Yu immediately felt a chill run down his legs.
Given Shi Tiange’s decisive nature, if she said she would break legs, she truly would!
After all, Ye Zhendong had taken plenty of beatings already.
But even so, Ye Yu had no intention of backing down.
This concerned the happiness of two people. If certain things were not thought through clearly, then being together would become a grave mistake.
So he said firmly,
"When it comes to feelings, I will make my own decision. Put the invitations away. We’ll get married when I say so. If I haven’t said it, then stop!"
The hall suddenly fell silent.
No one spoke first.
Ye Zhendong felt extremely uneasy, his gaze darting back and forth between Ye Yu and Shi Tiange.
If the two of them actually started fighting, should he intervene?
Hmm, Ye Yu had a somewhat mischievous temperament. It would be fine if he took a beating first.
Once it got to about the right point, he could step in and stop it—perfect timing!
In just a brief instant, Ye Zhendong had already planned everything out.
However, what he imagined did not happen.
Not only did Shi Tiange not break Ye Yu’s legs, she even smiled and pushed all the invitations in front of her aside.
"Fine, we’ll do it your way. Whenever you say you’re ready, I’ll prepare the wedding. But on one condition—don’t make me wait too long!"
Hearing this, Ye Yu’s expression relaxed, and he turned and left the hall directly.
This left Ye Zhendong completely dumbfounded.
"Madam, that’s it? You’re just letting him go? Weren’t you going to break his legs?"
Shi Tiange cast him a sideways glance.
"Our son has grown up and has his own ideas. That’s a good thing. A man should be like this! What kind of behavior is it to always be timid and obedient?"
"On the contrary, you—are you that eager for me to break your son’s legs?"
Ye Zhendong’s face stiffened, and he quickly waved his hands in denial.
Shi Tiange stretched lazily and said calmly,
"Clean all this up for now. We’ll use it later!"
Ye Zhendong had been about to agree immediately.
But then he remembered the words “a man,” and steeled himself, saying in a muffled voice,
"I won’t clean it up. And we won’t use it later either. I have my own ideas!"
Shi Tiange raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile appearing on her face once more.
"Good, good. You dare disobey me now? Looks like I’ll have to break your legs today!"
With that, she immediately took out a divine whip and ran straight toward Ye Zhendong.
He fled in panic, clutching his head.
"Why is it that when your son refuses you, he’s a man with backbone, but when I refuse you, my legs get broken?"
Shi Tiange spat lightly.
"Look at yourself—how dare you compare with my son? Drank too much bad wine, did you?"
Compared to the commotion on their side, Qi Yuan’s side was much quieter.
Inside her room, she looked at the dazzling array of items, her expression complicated.
How could she not understand Shi Tiange’s good intentions?
But would everything really go so smoothly?
For some reason, Qi Yuan felt a vague sense of unease.
Having grown up alone and helpless, she had suddenly arrived here—and even had the chance to become dao partners with him.
Everything felt too unreal.
Just as she was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.
She walked over and opened it. When she saw that it was Ye Yu, her pretty face could not help but flush slightly.
"Senior, you came so late. Is there something you need?"
Seeing her like this, Ye Yu had only one thought.
This was bad. Just like his father said—a young girl in love is always full of feeling.
There was no denying that Qi Yuan was indeed very captivating now.
But Ye Yu was a man with principles.
The more it was like this, the more he had to make things clear, so that things would not continue going wrong.
He took a deep breath and said in a serious tone,
"My mother has already told me everything. But I think you need to distinguish between gratitude and feelings—they are not the same."
"Why don’t we give each other some time, and talk about it after we’ve both thought things through?"
Qi Yuan clenched her sleeves tightly, doing her best to keep her expression calm.
"Since Senior says so, then there must be a reason. Then... we’ll wait."
This answer surprised Ye Yu somewhat.
Before coming here, he had thought Qi Yuan might have trouble accepting it.
But now, it seemed he had overthought things.
Perhaps even now, she had not fully distinguished between gratitude and feelings.
Ye Yu smiled.
"Then it’s settled. You’ve just arrived in the God Realm—take some time to settle in and completely shed the immortal aura on you. Also, if you need anything, just tell me. I’ll handle it."
Qi Yuan nodded heavily.
It was as if everything was the same as before.
As if there were still an entire realm separating the two of them.
After that, Ye Yu took out several divine techniques, instructed Qi Yuan to cultivate well, and then turned to leave.
Only after watching his departing figure disappear did Qi Yuan silently return to her room and close the door.
At the same time, two lines of tears slowly fell.
Qi Yuan stubbornly wiped them away and lifted her head, as if doing so would stop the tears from falling.
"Senior... does this count as a rejection? I’m no longer a child. How could I not distinguish between gratitude and feelings?"
"What you don’t know is... my path is to question the heart."
