Chapter 230: Volume 3 Chapter 1 No Way Back

Sun Yuan was immediately surprised: "Ah, this is... He probably hasn’t married yet... right?"

Wang Weihan laughed heartily, wrapping his arm around Sun Yuan’s neck, eyebrows dancing with emotion, and he said with a wink:

"Our Wang family has a third young lady, well, Brother Sun, don’t misunderstand, she’s not a direct descendant, just from a collateral branch. It’s impossible for the direct descendants, hahaha..."

Sun Yuan smiled apologetically: "I understand, I understand..."

Wang Weihan said, "This third young lady has a face like a flower and moon, merely seventeen. And Yemo... hehe, thus we thought of forming a family alliance. Naturally, you can see this as a strategic move from our family, you know."

Sun Yuan obviously understood.

A strategic move.

This is a common practice among aristocratic families. Use a family young lady with not-so-important status to win over a genius, turning them into a son-in-law of sorts.

Then, if the genius rises to prominence, the family will naturally shower resources upon him.

If the genius fades into the ordinary, it doesn’t matter either.

Consider it raising an idle son-in-law, as the girl will get married eventually.

Sun Yuan couldn’t help but consider it.

The Wang family is not small.

If Fang Che can connect with them, his future path will be much smoother, and with Fang Che’s talent, Sun Yuan was fully confident that the entire Wang family would place a heavy bet on him in the future!

But the problem now is, is this real or fake?

Also, Wang Weihan is from the Wang family. Why didn’t he say he has a niece, instead of mentioning a third young lady?

As an old Jianghu, Sun Yuan had already sensed many inconsistencies. His mind was uneasy, desperately wanting to leave.

"This matter, I fear, is not for me to decide. The Sect Hierarch should make the call on this one."

Sun Yuan said cautiously.

"Oh, Brother Sun, don’t say that. Who asked you to make decisions here? Just pass a message. Our Wang family has reasons for doing this. And for Yemo, it’s almost like offering help in a time of need."

Wang Weixue said, "In the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan, Yemo killed quite a few people from the headquarters. Now those families all want revenge, and at this moment, your Yixin Sect can’t protect him. So, our Wang family came up with this plan."

"Our Wang family, on one hand, cannot bear to see a genius fall. On the other hand, it’s also a gamble for the future of the family."

Wang Weixue said, "I know what concerns are in your heart. But Brother Sun, rest assured, none of the people from our Wang family who entered the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan died. So there’s no issue of revenge."

"Moreover, even if Yemo is married in, whether he can seize the opportunity and break out with the protection of our Wang family is still uncertain."

"It’s just that the third young lady, after hearing about Yemo’s deeds, expressed admiration and longing several times, which led us to this sudden plan... Haha, Brother Sun, drink more."

This round of drinking sent Sun Yuan’s heart on a rollercoaster.

The people from the Wang family were very enthusiastic.

But Sun Yuan could also sense a hint of aloofness amidst the warmth.

During the banquet, Sun Yuan also kept his secrets as much as possible.

Moreover, out of caution as an old Jianghu, he dared not make any promises.

However, the fact that he knew Yemo, was still inevitably revealed.

Because at that moment, it was impossible to remain composed.

"Brother Sun, just inquire about it after you leave, and you’ll know why our Wang family is betting heavily on Yemo. Haha, our Wang family isn’t just randomly marrying off a daughter to anyone."

"Hope you consider it well, help us with this..."

"If Brother Sun isn’t willing, we can directly find the Yin Sect Leader instead."

"Playing matchmaker is, after all, a pleasant task."

"Let’s exchange communication jades, so we can keep in touch often. When you get to Xuanwu City, do let us know and be sure to pay us a visit."

The banquet ended in high spirits.

Sun Yuan returned to his place, his head was still befuddled; he drank a lot but wasn’t drunk. However, this matter had quite an impact on him.

Yemo, that little guy... wasn’t he just a martial master when I left?

How did he become General Level?

Moreover, he even participated in the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan?

And won the championship?

This is too unexpected, isn’t it?

But Sun Yuan knew that this was surely not false. Yemo, a name that offends the Yemo Sect Leader, in the Yixin Sect there’s only one, and that is my disciple.

After thinking for a moment, he walked out of his place once more.

Because in the Divine Power Empowerment world, you can’t receive any communication. You must go out to receive it.

Once outside, he took out the Communication Jade.

First, he contacted Fang Che: "Did you participate in the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan?"

Fang Che replied immediately: "Yes, Master, you’re back?"

Sun Yuan’s heart stirred, indeed it was him, he replied: "Champion?"

"Yes."

"Made a lot of enemies?"

"Making enemies is a given, how could you not make enemies when killing people."

"Got it. I’m still in Xuanwu City, I’ll get more information and then talk to you."

"Yes, Master, come back soon, I miss you terribly."

Sun Yuan chuckled, feeling a bit of warmth in his smile.

This little rascal progressed so quickly. And he still holds such respect and fondness for me.

It wasn’t in vain that I invested so much in him.

He then replied: "Cultivate well. You have quite a lot of troubles around you now, and in a situation filled with crises, make sure to improve your strength quickly."

"Yes, Master."

"When I return, I’ll let you see that Sword Manual I mentioned."

"Yes, Master."

Sun Yuan then went to find Qian Sanjiang.

Because, although Qian Sanjiang’s cultivation was much higher than Sun Yuan’s, he was the most approachable. But the likes of Mu Lin Yuan Yin Divine Palace were too high in status... Sun Yuan dared not disturb them casually.

"Sun Yuan? You’re back?"

To Sun Yuan’s surprise, Qian Sanjiang was incredibly warm.

Sun Yuan just started, and Qian Sanjiang spilled the beans.

After listening, Sun Yuan increasingly felt the seriousness of the matter.

Thus, plucking up courage, he messaged the Yin Divine Palace, explaining the Wang family’s intentions to them.

The Yin Divine Palace was also a bit uncertain.

They immediately sent a message to the headquarters to investigate.

It turned out that none of the Wang family who entered the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan died.

This damn...

The Yin Divine Palace also was getting a headache.

What does the Wang family mean? Do they genuinely see Yemo’s potential, or is there another motive?

But this thought quickly passed through the mind, and the Yin Divine Palace made a decision.

"Reject!"

The Yin Divine Palace thought clearly.

Yemo’s current identity is secretive, which is his greatest safety net.

Even forming an alliance with the Wang family seems to offer protection, Yemo’s identity and information would inevitably be exposed.

Then it would truly become unsafe.

Sun Yuan received the message.

He understood immediately.

"Understood."

"Then immediately find a way to leave Xuanwu City, change your identity, and go to Baiyun State to protect Yemo closely."

The Yin Divine Palace ordered.

"Yes, Sect Leader."

...

On that very night, the three brothers of the Wang family, along with a few others, were also discussing.

"Do you think it’ll work?"

"Definitely not."

Wang Weihan said lightly, "But we were just gathering some information, and now we have it. Plus, there’s an unexpected surprise."

"What unexpected surprise?"

"The surprise is that Sun Yuan knows Yemo, knows him well, and their relationship is significant. Though he tried hard to conceal it, the sudden appearance of this topic made him reveal some traces in his shock."

"Brilliant!"

"However, Sun Yuan being so cautious only further proves how much the Yin Divine Palace values this disciple. So, the biggest obstacle this time lies with the Yin Divine Palace."

"Yes."

"But the Yixin Sect is currently in a closed-door reorganization. The Yin Divine Palace can’t come out in a short time."

"So, you’re saying..."

"My brother’s revenge must be taken!"

A young woman, her face filled with hatred.

And the other few people, also showed faces of grief and anger.

"Then influence things so that Sun Yuan leaves quickly, while your people follow him openly or secretly, okay?"

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for your help. Our three families will never forget the Wang family’s assistance this time!"

"You’re welcome."

The next day, Sun Yuan received a notice that he could leave seclusion and return.

Sun Yuan knew this was likely the Wang family’s doing.

Anyway, there’s no way to resist; luckily, the Yin Divine Palace had the same request, so he agreed, going with the flow, and came out with his luggage.

Then he was stunned.

Right in front of him, Wang Weihan and a young woman smiled at him. Behind the young woman stood two people, seemingly two guards.

"Brother Sun, heading back now?"

Sun Yuan inwardly lamented, "Yes, yes, just about yesterday’s matter..."

"Oh, don’t worry about it."

Wang Weihan beamed, "This is my third niece, Wang Yun’er, she’s quite infatuated with Yemo. Hahaha... Brother Sun, the young girl is too headstrong; she just had to see Yemo... and there’s nothing I can do."

Sun Yuan: "..."

Damn, are you expecting me to take this girl back to have a relationship with Yemo?

"For this journey, please take good care of her, Brother Sun."

Wang Weihan seemed determined to solidify this matter: whether you, Sun Yuan, are willing or not, you must take her!

In the face of this, Sun Yuan really had no solution!

Wang Yun’er, with shyness and modesty, approached quietly: "Senior Sun, just consider me going there for a vacation, escort me, and whether I can meet... Lord Night Demon... it’s all up to fate, okay?"

When mentioning "Night Demon," a trace of shyness and expectation flashed in Wang Yun’er’s eyes, looking very much like a young girl awakening to love.

"...."

What could Sun Yuan say?

They’ve gone to such lengths; I can’t even utter a refusal.

He said, "But this is a long journey, with many hardships..."

"No problem."

Wang Weihan clapped his hands, producing a clang, and there came four One-horned Dragon Horses.

Sun Yuan, carrying his luggage, felt a chill run through his body.

The other side calculated every step and forced him into a corner with no possibility of refusal.

There’s no retreat!
