Chapter 252 241 : Yun'er, have you missed me these past few days?"
In her memory, Ye Chen had always been obedient and diligent while training under her guidance, and she remembered the warmth of caring for him.
Now, seeing his confident and assertive demeanor, Yun Yun felt herself moving from seeing him as a student to something more… as a true partner.
At that moment, Yun Leng bowed respectfully to Yun Yun.
"Sect Master, while we naturally would not oppose your union with His Majesty, you were trained and nurtured by the previous sect master. Surely it would be proper to seek his consent first?"
"Teacher!"
At Yun Leng's words, Yun Yun's expression shifted slightly. As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a parent. She had great respect for her teacher, who was currently in seclusion.
Years ago, Yun Shan had carefully trained Yun Yun, teaching her the finest Dou techniques and arts, and eventually passed the sect master title to her. That debt of gratitude remained in her heart.
Chen'r Yun Leng is right… we should get the blessing of your Grandteacher before marrying."
Turning to Ye Chen, Yun Yun looked a little hesitant.
"As you wish!"
Seeing her gaze, Ye Chen smiled and nodded. Although unexpected, this was reasonable.
Moreover, Ye Chen had already intended to visit Yun Shan's secluded place during this trip, so gaining his approval would not be difficult.
"From the elder and sect master's words, the Grandteacher is still alive?"
"If that's true, then this is wonderful!"
At this revelation, apart from Yun Leng, Yun Lei, and Yun Sheng, the other elders were shocked, followed by excitement and joy.
In the eyes of the elders, Yun Shan's prestige surpassed even Yun Yun, and most believed the previous sect master might have already perished in long-term seclusion.
Now, knowing he was alive, everyone was thrilled.
After all, Yun Shan being alive meant Yunlan Sect still had more than just one Dou Huang....Yun Yun.
"I will make the preparations to consult the Grandteacher. As for the rest of you, leave now. No one is to enter without my order!"
After promising Yun Yun that he would seek Yun Shan's opinion, Ye Chen immediately dismissed Chief Elder Yun Leng and the other Yunlan Sect elders from the hall.
Soon, only Yun Yun, Ye Chen, and Jia Xingtian remained inside the grand hall.
"Strange…"
It was only now that Yun Yun focused on Jia Xingtian standing beside Ye Chen. She suddenly realized that the position he held and the way he carried himself made it seem as though he was acting as Ye Chen's personal bodyguard.
"Feng'er once told me that the power behind him was untouchable even for the Jia royal family… but now, it seems that it's far more complicated than I imagined," Yun Yun thought in surprise.
Noticing her curious gaze, Ye Chen smiled and turned to Jia Xingtian. "Jia Xingtian, take the guards back to the palace. The tasks I assigned earlier must be completed quickly."
"Yes!"
Jia Xingtian nodded and swiftly departed. Following Ye Chen's instructions, he never directly addressed Ye Chen as "Master" in front of others—after all, a young sixteen-year-old being called master by a Nine-Star Dou Huang would surely shock the Jiamo Empire.
"Feng'er, even if Jia Xingtian is cautious of the power behind you, you don't always need him by your side—it's too dangerous!"
Once Jia Xingtian left, Yun Yun's face reflected worry as she spoke.
Ye Chen shook his head gently. "Don't worry, Yun'er. Everything will be fine."
"Alright, Feng'er, if you're confident, then that's enough."
Seeing the calm confidence on his face, Yun Yun said no more.
"Yun'er, have you missed me these past few days?"
Ye Chen's hand reached out, gently brushing against Yun Yun's side.
"Ah!"
The sudden touch sent a shiver through Yun Yun, and she couldn't help but exclaim softly.
"Feng'er, we're still in the grand hall…"
She glanced toward the hall's entrance, a hint of shyness coloring her expression.
"Then let's move inside."
Seeing Yun Yun's flushed, beautiful face, Ye Chen scooped her up effortlessly and carried her toward a side room in the hall.
The softness of her form and the faint fragrance that followed stirred his blood. And in this sacred hall of Yunlan Sect, a place where Ye Chen had spent many years, the experience felt thrilling, as if revisiting a classroom and being near a teacher he had long admired.
Soon, Ye Chen placed Yun Yun on a side bench, and she leaned in, her hand resting lightly on his shoulder.
