Chapter 66: She Was Already Used to It
The young man appeared like a boy, speaking as if he were confiding in an older sister. The two beautiful women beside him, despite their shock and fear, couldn't help but burst into laughter at his last remark.
However, the woman in his arms was unfazed; she had long been accustomed to the boyish side of him since childhood.
In truth, although the young man was exceptionally intelligent and cunning, at this moment he struggled to find the right words. What occupied his mind were the lines from the love letter.
"I do not wish to ask how much sorrow you bear. In the future, when I am not by your side, may you be well and think of me."
"I do not hope for your return; I only wish that when you come back, you are still human."
The first line made Lian Yun feel a sense of belonging, while the second made him rarely kill in Yin Yang City.
After reading the woman's love letter, she became his inner faith. Thus, when everyone assumed he would first pay respects to Grandma, he instead sought her out first and, without hesitation, domineeringly held her in his arms.
To be honest, his last words left her both amused and exasperated, but more than that, tears streamed down her face, soaking half of his shoulder.
Though she had devoted herself to him since childhood—waiting for him regardless of whether he was rich or poor—she had never openly expressed her feelings. There was always a sense of unrequited love and self-deception.
Now that she finally sensed his feelings for her, she felt that all her sacrifices were worthwhile; perhaps she had finally received the best outcome.
Overwhelmed with joy, she cried.
Suddenly, she felt a heaviness as she realized that the young man holding her had fallen asleep.
While outsiders might be frustrated by this, she showed a look of tenderness and concern.
Because of this, she was already accustomed to it. The young man often came to her house to train, and almost every time he would train until he fell asleep.
It seemed like he could fall asleep at any moment, yet it was as if he didn’t know when he would suddenly doze off.
But all of this indicated that the young man was exhausted, worn out to the extreme, which made the woman feel quite distressed. Though her demeanor remained unchanged, she supported him instead, hoping he could rest a little longer.
If she had known that over three years ago, only by Grandma's side could the young man sleep peacefully, and now he could also sleep soundly beside her, she might have felt a different kind of joy!
In Yin Yang City, although Lian Yun had moments of leisure, he truly hadn’t had any time for rest. However, he was no longer the boy who had just returned to the Lin Family three years ago.
He had become a true Monarch, an extraordinary Monarch, and soon woke up.
Although he realized he had lost his composure, he instinctively turned his head and nuzzled against the woman's fragrant shoulder in a playful manner.
Then he straightened up, wearing a smile that carried a hint of shyness as he pulled her into his embrace.
“You didn’t put makeup on me, did you?” the young man asked with concern.
He had only learned over three years ago that whenever he fell asleep during training as a child, this woman would dress him up in women's attire.
The woman shot him an annoyed glance but suddenly revealed an eager expression.
The young man was startled and quickly pressed her head against his chest. Then he looked at the ethereal woman beside them and said, “If you want to go to Yin Yang City, you can choose to stay in Chang'an City. When the time comes, just mention my name, and someone will naturally take you to meet the person you wish to see.”
“Hmm~~ Is my sister still alive? How has she been all these years?”
The woman, who was originally untouched by the mundane world, suddenly fell into the realm of mortals, her face filled with excitement.
"I have always been friends with your sister. Back in the day, I searched for her whereabouts and even went to Yin Yang City with the intention of finding her. It was just that I didn't appreciate your attitude back then, which is why I chose not to engage with you."
"By the way, not many people know your sister's real name. You can just refer to her by the title she prefers."
Yin Ruoxue naturally knew that her sister liked to call herself General. With Lian Yun's understanding of this, there was no doubt left. She immediately bowed deeply to Lian Yun and said, "Thank you!"
Lian Yun was inadvertently concerned; he did not have a good impression of this so-called Shy Flower among the Four Great Beauties. If it weren't for his connection with Excellent Choice and the General, he wouldn't have bothered to exchange more than a few words with her.
He nodded indifferently, holding Excellent Choice close as he turned to leave.
This left a bewildered fairy and a disappointed and angry enchanting woman behind.
She called herself Diao Chan, and when it came to beauty, she was the most stunning among the Four Great Talents. Now her fame surpassed even that of the past; many Monarchs who saw her revealed signs of infatuation, and among the younger generation, there was hardly anyone who didn't covet her.
Yet she did not attract even a single glance from the man; he completely ignored her.
Perhaps it was unintentional on his part, but that only fueled her anger further. Her frustration stemmed from his singular focus; aside from Excellent Choice in his arms, all other women were mere skeletons in comparison.
She was furious that Le Yan could win such a man's affection.
But her anger had nowhere to go.
Lian Yun continued to hold Le Yan without any intention of letting go, which made Le Yan feel both satisfied and shy. Especially after they exited the restaurant and encountered hundreds of familiar or recognized Monarchs. She buried her head in Lian Yun's chest, preferring not to see anything else.
Lian Yun smiled faintly, ignoring the hundred Monarchs on high alert in front of him, knowing that he could easily eliminate them with a single move. He lowered his head and softly said to the person in his arms, "First, accompany me back to the Lin family. After my grandmother's Birthday Banquet, we can go home and meet your parents, alright?"
This was practically a proposal.
The woman immediately buried her head deeper, and with a soft "mm," she agreed to his decision, which was tantamount to saying she was willing to marry Lian Yun.
Instantly, Lian Yun felt a surge of confidence and laughed heartily, "Hahahaha!"
His exuberant laughter echoed throughout the Alliance Academy, shaking many people to the point where they nearly coughed up blood. Yet, it seemed that they could sense the joy conveyed by his voice, leading almost everyone to wear a bewildered expression that was both amusing and awkward.
The hundred Monarchs were no exception; however, they mostly breathed a sigh of relief in secret.
It was well-known that Lian Yun did not have a good relationship with the Alliance. Now that he was so formidable, they genuinely feared that if he were displeased—or even pleased—he might wipe them all out with a wave of his hand.
Although it felt like Lian Yun was demonstrating his power, the lack of murderous intent in his eyes eased their worries somewhat. Still, they dared not be negligent and hurriedly reported the situation.
Lian Yun had truly returned three years later.
Given this context, the already significant preparations for Grandma's Birthday Banquet needed to be taken even more seriously. The lavish gifts that had been arranged now seemed woefully inadequate.
