Chapter 1724: Ten Days Later (100 Days In The Residence)

At the Heavenly Star Sect,

Yun Jingqiu sat alone in a daze, contemplating Ling Yun’s behavior during the few days she had stayed at their residence. Ever since she confessed her feelings to her father, they hadn’t spoken to each other. He disappeared a few days before appearing at the banquet, but he disappeared again after the event, and he didn’t return until she returned to the sect.

Unlike Yun Jingqiu, Yun Shengxia’s situation was much better than her sister’s because she had not yet openly expressed her feelings to Ling Yun, so she had never experienced any outright rejection.

Yun Jingqiu was devastated in her heart, and she thought that Ling Yun was deliberately abandoning her. Tears involuntarily flowed down from her eyes; her heart ached so much because of her father’s treatment.

Yun Qingfeng, Yun Longhun, Nu Huang, Xuanyuan Yue, and Meng Ke’er had tried to comfort Yun Jingqiu, but she didn’t listen to them and continued to wallow in her sorrow, leaving them helpless.

Yue Lian stood in the distance looking at Yun Jingqiu, but she had no words to comfort her master. She blamed Ling Yun for his decision that had hurt her master’s feelings, but she didn’t dare to express her anger to him.

’Father, do you hate me that much now?’ Yun Jingqiu suddenly heard heavy footsteps behind her, brushing against the grass in the area. She didn’t look back, nor did she care about the owner of the footsteps.

Yue Lian wanted to stop the person, but on second thought, she changed her mind and didn’t move from her spot.

Soon, a young man with a tall, sturdy body stopped behind Yun Jingqiu. His face was quite handsome, and his appearance was like a well-educated young master. "Junior Sister, what—"

"Please leave me alone, Senior Brother Zhao." Yun Jingqiu said sobbingly.

If Ling Yun saw the young man, he would definitely recognize him because he was Zhao Chengxuan, the young master of the Zhao Clan, who had already expressed his feelings for Yun Jingqiu.

When Zhao Chengxuan saw the tears on Yun Jingqiu’s cheeks, his expression turned grim, and her voice revealed her pain. "Junior Sister."

"Senior Brother, please stop approaching me." Yun Jingqiu buried her sad face in her hands, resting them on her knees. "I will never be able to return your feelings because my heart only belongs to one person. Even though he has rejected me, my feelings for him will never change, and I will always love him until the end of my life, so I hope you will stop and stay away from me."

Zhao Chengxuan felt his heart tighten. "Can you tell me the identity of that man, Junior Sister?"

"Please leave, Senior Brother." Yun Jingqiu couldn’t possibly tell Zhao Chengxuan that the man she loved was her father.

"But—"

"Please leave for your own good."

Zhao Chengxuan didn’t want to leave, and he truly wanted to know the identity of the man in Yun Jingqiu’s heart. Although his Zhao Clan wasn’t as famous and powerful as the Huang Clan or some other clans, it was still one of the most renowned clans in his domain, and he felt he was worthy enough to be her husband.

Yue Lian moved to Zhao Chengxuan’s side, grabbed his shoulder, and took him away.

Zhao Chengxuan wasn’t surprised by Yue Lian’s strength, and he knew that she was as strong, if not stronger, than his parents. "Senior Yue, can you tell me the identity of that man?"

"I can only tell you that that man is unrivaled in every way." Zhao Chengxuan was taken aback. "Not to mention your Zhao Clan; even if all the clans in this domain were to unite, they would still not be his opponent."

"Is he really that powerful, Senior Yue?"

"Have you ever heard of the Liu Clan from the Spirit Grove Domain and the Yuan Clan and the Ning Clan from the Nirvana Sky Domain?"

Zhao Chengxuan’s expression changed to shock. "You mean—"

"That’s right." Yue Lian nodded to him. "The man was the one who destroyed those three clans! He killed all the men of the Yuan Clan, but he spared the other two clans. So, you should already have an idea of ​​his strength, right?"

Zhao Chengxuan’s mood dropped instantly when he imagined the destruction of the three clans. Compared to those three clans, his Zhao Clan was far below them in terms of power and influence, and the man Yun Jingqiu loved could destroy that clan so easily, causing an uproar in several nearby domains. "Why did he do all that, Senior Yue?"

"Their young masters coveted one of his wives. The three of them and their parents tried to kill him, so he retaliated by killing them and destroying their clans."

Zhao Chengxuan immediately realized that the woman Yue Lian was referring to was Huang Zhimei. His Zhao Clan wasn’t as powerful as the three clans, but that didn’t mean he didn’t know anything about their three young masters, and he knew that they were infatuated with the young miss of the Huang Clan.

However, Zhao Chengxuan did not expect that the man Yun Jingqiu loved was Huang Zhimei’s husband, and he possessed such a terrifying strength as he was able to destroy the Yuan, Lu, and Ning Clans overnight.

Yue Lian looked at Zhao Chengxuan. "Young Master Zhao, I can understand your feelings for my master, but you should give up because you will never succeed in winning her heart. In her eyes, he is the best man, and she will never be able to love another man."

"Can you tell me that man’s name, Senior Yue?"

Yue Lian thought for a moment, glancing at Yun Jingqiu. "I can tell you that his name is Ling Yun, but I can’t tell you anything related to him."

"Ling Yun." Zhao Chengxuan muttered to himself. "Do you know which domain he lives in?"

"I know, but I won’t tell you that." Yue Lian returned her gaze to Zhao Chengxuan. "For the sake of you and your Zhao Clan, please forget about him and my master."

"I understand, Senior Yue." Zhao Chengxuan looked at Yun Jingqiu for a while before leaving with a heavy feeling.

"Hey! Why are you telling that kid about our master?"

Yue Lian looked at Yun Shengxia’s contract beast, Cai Hong. "If I don’t do that, that kid will keep coming to see my master, and he’ll be heartbroken because of her."

"I think Yue Lian has done the right thing about that," Huo Yan said as she appeared beside us. "Yun Jingqiu only loves her father, and her feelings will never change. That kid will only waste his time and future trying to win her heart, so knowing the truth early on is best for him."

Zhuo Fengyi also appeared beside them. "I’m confused by our father’s decision regarding his daughters’ feelings."

"Me too," Ying Huanli sighed. "Unfortunately, we can’t do anything to change our father’s decision, so we can only watch Yun Jingqiu sad like that."

"Perhaps our master will change his mind one day, and he might accept her in the future." Xuanyuan Yue’s beast contract, Huli Chenying, said.

Meng Ke’er’s two contracted beasts, Mu Diao and Xi Xinlong, chose not to say anything. However, they were also confused by Ling Yun’s decision, especially since he took his mother and several others as his wives.

After she cried for a long time, Yun Jingqiu returned to her room, and Yue Lian accompanied her to comfort her.

After disappearing for several days, Ling Yun decided to return to his residence and went to his room. He found Yi Mingxia sound asleep in his bed. He slowly approached her and joined her in bed.

Yi Mingxia abruptly opened her eyes. "Did you just come back, Yun’er?"

"Yeah," Ling Yun pulled her into a hug. "Sorry, I disappeared for a few days to calm myself down."

Yi Mingxia snuggled into his chest. "Honestly, I feel sorry for Xia’er and Qiu’er, Yun’er. We know that they both love you so much, but you ignored their feelings."

"Are you also thinking about asking me to take them in?" Yi Mingxia chose to remain silent and did not answer Ling Yun’s question. "I don’t know why, but I really can’t accept their feelings. I know they’re sad right now, especially Qiu’er, but I hope she can forget everything for her own good."

"Are you sure Xia’er and Qiu’er will be able to forget their feelings for you, Yun’er?" This time, Ling Yun fell silent because he did not have an answer to Yi Mingxia’s question. "Honestly, Sister Ning and I don’t like it if you take them as your wives, but we also have to consider our daughters’ feelings."

"Let’s stop talking about this matter." Ling Yun pinned Yi Mingxia under him. "Do you want to have another child?"

Yi Mingxia pouted as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "The other sisters want you to impregnate them before we leave for the abyss, right?"

"That’s right."

"In that case, I want you to impregnate me again at that time, so both of our children will have a younger sibling."

Ling Yun nodded at her. "Since you want it, I will impregnate you too at that time."

"Hehe," Yi Mingxia giggled. "Love me, Yun’er."

.

.

.

Time has passed quickly since that day, and ten days have already passed.

Ling Yun gathered all his wives in the main hall to discuss their preparations for the competition in the Flowing Water Domain, which would begin tomorrow.

Since they returned from the trial tower, they have been training harder under the guidance of the four immortals and those female beasts, and they can’t wait to participate in the competition.

"We will leave for that domain tonight, and we will go directly to the Heavenly Star Sect to register."
