"Oh, it seems your miss really has something to do, I will be leaving then."


    Su Chen sighed after hearing this and said.


    "Okay, let me lead you out."


    Meng Jiao nodded and said.


    "No need, I know the way myself, you go and tend to your matters."


    Su Chen waved his hand and said.


    "Really no need?"


    "Really no need!"


    "Alright then."


    Meng Jiao was still somewhat uneasy about her miss''s situation so she didn''t insist further.


    The two of them went downstairs together, and after descending, Su Chen walked towards the door, while Meng Jiao nced at him then walked towards the hall on the side.


    This showed Meng Jiao''s too trustful nature as she easily believed Su Chen''s words, not noticing how abruptly his attitude shifted before and after.


    Sure enough, halfway through the walk, Su Chen suddenly shed into a deserted spot and circled back...


    ......


    At the same time, in the hall of Lingyue Pce.


    A woman dressed in white sat at the upper seat, she was Ling Yao.


    Around forty years old woman with a good-looking and graceful appearance stood beside Ling Yao, draped in green clothes!


    Standing on either side of the hall below were rows of women in long skirts, each holding a sword, exhibiting a ssic heroine''s demeanor.


    At the center below stood two men, one old and one young, they were Mo Wei the Young Master and Elder Chen of Shengyi Gate.


    After Meng Jiao entered, she directly stood beside Ling Yao. Ling Yao immediately leaned over and whispered:


    "Did you send him away?"


    "Yes."


    Meng Jiao lightly nodded.


    "Little Meng girl, you''re bing more and more beautiful!"


    Below, Mo Wei said with a smile.


    "Humph!"


    Meng Jiao snorted after hearing the young man''s words, her face showing disdain.


    Mo Wei couldn''t help but get angry, thinking:


    "A little girl dares to be so impolite to me, just wait until I marry your miss, you won''t escape my grasp!"


    "Steward Liu, men must marry women at the right age, that''s how it''s always been."


    Elder Chen sped his fists and said:


    "This is our fifth time proposing, we hope Steward Liu can grant this wish."


    "Sorry, only the Pce Master can decide the miss''s marriage, I don''t have the authority."


    Liu Yin beside Ling Yao said indifferently.


    "Then please let your Pce Mastere out, so we can discuss this matter face to face?"


    Elder Chen said.


    "I''m sorry, our Pce Master is in closed-door training, she cannot meet you at this moment."


    Liu Yin replied with a nk expression.


    "Hmph, still pretending, we know she isn''t here."


    Mo Wei and Elder Chen sneered silently.


    They came knowing that the Pce Master and two of the Stewards of Lingyue Pce were not here!


    Because they know if the Pce Master were here, she would never agree to this marriage!


    "I rememberst year when we visited, your Pce Master said she would give us an answer next time."


    Mo Wei said aggressively:


    "But this time the Pce Master is avoiding us, what does this mean?"


    "What do you mean avoiding us!"


    Ling Yao''s face turned cold upon hearing this:


    "Aunt Liu already said my mother is in closed-door training!"


    "Sorry, our Young Master''s words were improper, please pardon us."


    Elder Chen apologized with a fist salute, but his facial expression betrayed a sense of superiority!


    Ling Yao and Liu Yin chose not to pursue the matter further upon hearing this.


    However, their reaction confirmed the message Mo Wei and Elder Chen received!


    "Steward Liu, our Young Master''s admiration for your miss is as clear as day and night!"


    Elder Chen raised his head and spoke:


    "They are a perfect match and their union will be a celebrated event in the Martial Arts World."


    "Sorry, Elder Chen, marriage is a serious matter and can only be decided by the Pce Master."


    Liu Yin said calmly.


    She insisted one point, that this matter must be decided by the Pce Master!


    "Although your Pce Master isn''t here, I believe she wouldn''t oppose this."


    Elder Chen spoke eloquently:


    "Previously, your Pce Master said that Ling Yao was too young, she never mentioned the two were not suitable."


    "Now, both of them are at the age for marriage, it''s time to consider this matter."


    Elder Chen continued:


    "And I believe, there isn''t anyone in the Martial Arts World more suitable for Ling Yao than our Young Master."


    "Since your Pce Master is not here, why not exchange marriage documents first? If your Pce Master disagrees, we can discuss further, considering the effort we made toe here."


    Ling Yao and Liu Yin were conflicted upon hearing this.


    Although it sounded simple, once the marriage documents were exchanged, the marriage would be finalized.


    If they change their mindter, it would be a p to Shengyi Gate''s face!


    Shengyi Gate wouldn''t let it go for the sake of pride!


    "Steward Liu, Miss Ling Yao, we came from afar, don''t let us return empty-handed."


    Elder Chen squinted his eyes slightly:


    "If that happens, how will I exin to our Sect Leader?"


    This was clearly Shengyi Gate pressuring Ling Yao and Liu Yin.


    Ling Yao and Liu Yin nced at each other, feeling the pressure.


    Although Lingyue Pce and Shengyi Gate are top forces in Huaxia''s Martial Arts World, there''s a significant gap between them!


    But they equally did not want to agree to this marriage, hoping to drag this matter in a nonmittal way.


    "Elder Chen, Young Master Mo, apologies, exchanging marriage documents also requires the Pce Master''s approval!"


    Liu Yin pondered briefly but remained firm.


    "What do you mean?"


    Elder Chen''s face darkened and he said coldly:


    "You keep pushing us away, is it because you don''t like our Young Master or Shengyi Gate?"


    Just as Liu Yin was about to exin, a voice suddenly came from the hall entrance:


    "Of course, we don''t like either of those!"


    This voice caught everyone''s attention immediately!


    A young man slowly walked in, his face bearing a light smile. He stepped across the threshold and walked straight into the hall.


    Ling Yao and Meng Jiao widened their beautiful eyes in surprise upon seeing him!


    "Wasn''t he gone? Why is he back?"


    The others also looked at him with confusion, including Liu Yin.


    Only a few people knew about Su Chen''s presence herest night, not everyone was aware, let alone having seen him.


    "Who are you? How are you inside Lingyue Pce?"


    Said Mo Wei, the Young Master of Shengyi Gate, immediately questioning him.
