Chapter 115 - Chapter 109 : Do you truly like Ye Chen

Inside the hall, the elders discussed in hushed tones.

"This Ye Chen… he's not only Yunlan Sect's most promising disciple, but also personally favored by Sect Leader Yun Yun.

If Yanran marries him, our Nalan family will have a direct connection to Yunlan Sect."

"Yes, and with Yunlan Sect's influence, who would dare offend us in the future? Even the royal family will have to be cautious."

"Still, Yanran made the decision to dissolve her engagement with the Xiao family without permission. Many of the elders were dissatisfied."

"Dissatisfied? Hah! Now that she's marrying Ye Chen, who would still dare complain? That boy Xiao Yan can't even compare."

The hall was filled with whispers, but when the heavy doors opened, everyone fell silent.

An elderly man entered slowly, his white hair tied neatly, his presence steady like a mountain.

This was none other than Nalan Jie, the grandfather of Yanran, the pillar of the Nalan family, and once a feared general of the empire.

He took his seat at the head of the hall, sweeping his sharp gaze across the room.

His body carried the marks of age, yet the aura he radiated was enough to quiet all dissent.

"So," he began in a deep voice, "the rumors are true. Ye Chen intends to come with Sect Leader Yun Yun to propose marriage for Yanran."

The elders all lowered their heads in respect.

"Yes, Patriarch. We have confirmed it."

Nalan Jie nodded slightly. His expression remained calm, but deep in his eyes, a faint light flickered.

He remembered the day Yanran told him she wanted to dissolve her engagement with the Xiao family. At that time, he had flown into a rage.

The Xiao clan had once been a powerful ally, and to annul the engagement without approval was reckless.

But now, seeing how things had turned out, perhaps Yanran's decision had been the wisest choice of her life.

After a long pause, he finally spoke again.

"Good. Since Yanran has chosen Ye Chen, I will stand firmly behind her.

Our Nalan family must prepare properly. The marriage between Yanran and Ye Chen is not just a personal union—it is a great opportunity for our clan."

The elders all agreed instantly. None dared to object.

That night, Yanran sat in her own courtyard, her heart restless.

Her senior brother's promise still lingered in her ears: "After the Inner Sect Competition, I'll come with Teacher to propose."

She placed a hand gently over her abdomen, her cheeks flushed.

A secret happiness filled her heart, mixed with nervousness. Her grandfather and father would soon learn the truth.

Just then, her grandfather, Nalan Jie, arrived quietly. Yanran quickly stood up.

"Grandfather!"

Nalan Jie looked at her with eyes full of affection.

He had raised this granddaughter almost like his own daughter, and she had always been the jewel of the family.

"Yanran," he said gently, "tell me honestly. Do you truly like Ye Chen?"

Hearing his words, Yanran's face turned crimson. She lowered her head but nodded firmly.

"Yes, Grandfather. I like him… very much."

Her voice was soft, but filled with determination.

Nalan Jie chuckled. "Then good. Grandfather will support you. This marriage… will also raise the Nalan family to new heights."

After a pause, his tone grew heavier.

"But you must also understand, child. Being tied to someone like Ye Chen is not just about personal feelings.

He carries the future of Yunlan Sect, and he will surely stand at the peak of the empire.

Following him means both glory and pressure. Can you bear it?"

Yanran clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes, usually filled with gentleness, now carried firm resolve.

"I can. No matter how hard it is, I want to walk alongside Senior Brother Ye Chen. I will not regret my choice."

Nalan Jie's expression softened. He reached out and patted her head.

"Good child. You've grown up."

For the first time in many years, the old general felt a weight lift from his heart.

Two days later, news spread like wildfire through the imperial capital....Ye Chen and Sect Leader Yun Yun had arrived at the gates of the Nalan estate.

The entire household mobilized at once. Servants rushed to clean the halls, elders put on their most formal robes, and Nalan Jie himself stood waiting at the entrance, his back straight, his eyes sharp.

The gates opened.

A group of Yunlan Sect disciples stepped inside, their robes fluttering. At the center walked Ye Chen, tall and elegant, his aura calm yet commanding.

Beside him was the peerless Yun Yun, her beauty like an immortal goddess descending to the mortal world.

All eyes turned toward Ye Chen. Many of the younger female disciples of the Nalan family couldn't help but blush at the sight of him.

His reputation had long preceded him....handsome, talented, the rising star of Yunlan Sect. Seeing him in person, he was even more dazzling than the rumors.

Ye Chen walked forward, stopping before Nalan Jie. He cupped his fists respectfully.

"Junior Ye Chen greets Grandfather Nalan."

Nalan Jie studied him for a moment.

The young man's manners were impeccable, his voice steady, his gaze firm.

This was no ordinary youth...this was someone destined to stand above countless others.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of the old general's lips.

"Good. Very good. As expected of Yunlan Sect's genius disciple. Yanran was fortunate to meet you."

Ye Chen replied humbly, "It is I who am fortunate to have Yanran's affection.

I promise, I will take care of her for the rest of my life."

Yanran, standing nearby, blushed furiously at his words.
