Yang Kai had never expected that his attempt to help someone would end up causing such a big problem.

He reckoned that the Secret Arts of Yin-Yang Cave Heaven were indeed abstruse.

If it was just like what Yu Xiang Die had said, Tao Ling Wan would never be able to accept another mans Yang Qi as her Small Universe had absorbed Yang Kais strength. In that case, without Yang Kais help, she would never be able to make it to the Seventh-Order in her lifetime.

It wasnt something those from Yin-Yang Cave Heaven wanted to see. A Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Master was valuable to every Cave Heaven or Paradise. Tao Ling Wan had high hopes of ascending to the Seventh-Order. If her future was ruined by Yang Kai, those from Yin-Yang Cave Heaven wouldnt let him off.

Yang Kai felt helpless while his mind was a mess.

It had only been a short time since he and Tao Ling Wan first met, and they had barely even spoken to each other. However, if her future was destroyed because of him, he would feel guilty.

Nevertheless, he couldnt bring himself to simply accept her. He had come all the way to this place for Qu Hua Shang. It wasnt the right thing to do if he was tangled up with another woman while he hadnt even met Qu Hua Shang.

Chen Xiu! Yang Kai suddenly cursed. He was puzzled previously, but upon hearing Yu Xiang Dies explanation, he seemed to have realised something, It was Chen Xius doing, right?

Tao Ling Wan was Chen Xius Disciple, so he must be fully aware of her situation. Perhaps he knew that Tao Ling Wan would be struck with cultivation dissonance soon at that time, so he insisted on making her serve Yang Kai. After that, he went missing for half a month.

On the other hand, he never told Yang Kai anything.

Chen Xiu knew that once Tao Ling Wan suffered from cultivation dissonance in front of Yang Kai, the latter wouldnt turn a blind eye to it. The moment Yang Kai decided to help, he would fall into the trap.

This probably wasnt a well-thought-out plan; after all, Chen Xiu had no idea when Yang Kai would visit Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, so he had most likely improvised it.

When Yang Kai arrived, it just so happened that Tao Ling Wan would be struck with cultivation dissonance soon.

Yu Xiang Die parted her lips for a moment before letting out a sigh, Youve figured it out, after all.

With a frown, Yang Kai asked, But, why?

Regardless, Tao Ling Wan was a powerful Sixth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master who was also strikingly beautiful. If such a beautiful woman got together with Yang Kai, outsiders would think that he had found a partner that was out of his league.

However, Yang Kai couldnt figure out Chen Xius intention for doing this. It wasnt like he didnt know that Yang Kai and Qu Hua Shang were engaged.

The t.i.tles of Yang Kai, which included Star Boundary Great Emperor and Void Lands Lord, were probably not prestigious enough to make him sacrifice a Legacy Disciple just to establish a connection.

Its for Quer! Yu Xiang Die replied.

What do you mean? Yang Kai became even more doubtful.

Yu Xiang Die explained, 100 years ago, you won first place in the Dao Theory a.s.sembly and became engaged with Quer. Supposedly, you should have come to Yin-Yang Cave Heaven a few years ago.

Yang Kai nodded, That was my plan, but I was held up by something.

It was the Chaotic Dead Territory, right? Yu Xiang Die asked.

Yang Kai was shocked, How do you know?

The Ancestor who is responsible for monitoring the Chaotic Dead Territory is from Luo Sheng Cave Heaven. When he saw that you entered the Chaotic Dead Territory alongside the Giant Spirit G.o.d, he asked around to find out about your ident.i.ty. That was how all Cave Heavens and Paradises knew that you had entered the Chaotic Dead Territory.

Yang Kai nodded gently. The appearance of a Giant Spirit G.o.d and someone entering the Chaotic Dead Territory were both major events. Since the Ancestor from Luo Sheng Cave Heaven had seen it, he would definitely inform everyone about it. The Cave Heavens and Paradises naturally had channels to communicate with each other; hence, it wasnt a secret that Yang Kai had barged into the Chaotic Dead Territory alongside the Giant Spirit G.o.d.

The Chaotic Dead Territory is a dangerous place. Even the Eighth-Order Ancestor from Luo Sheng Cave Heaven could only stay in the periphery for a short moment before having to retreat. What do you think the outsiders would speculate when you had gone missing for decades? Yu Xiang Die stared at him and asked.

After giving it a thought, Yang Kai replied, They must have believed that I was dead.

Yu Xiang Die nodded, Exactly. In fact, I just came back from the Star Boundary not long ago. I was also shocked when I heard that you had entered the Chaotic Dead Territory back then. I too believed that you were killed; however, when I asked the Head Manager of High Heaven Pavilion, she firmly declared that you were fine. If I hadnt seen you with my bare eyes this time, I wouldnt have believed it.

At that time, she was puzzled by Hua Qing Sis confidence. No one could survive after entering the Chaotic Dead Territory, but Hua Qing Si told her to rest a.s.sured and said that her Sect Master must be fine. As for when he would leave the Chaotic Dead Territory, she didnt have a clue either.

Yu Xiang Die didnt probe her further. Since Hua Qing Si had said so, she chose to believe her.

When she returned to Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, she really met Yang Kai.

While Yu Xiang Die didnt understand the reason behind it, Yang Kai knew why Hua Qing Si was so certain.

That was because he had the Loyalty List which had nine names written in it. The life or death of those nine hinged on Yang Kai. If something happened to him, Mao Zhe and the others would instantly lose their lives as well.

Since Mao Zhe and the others were still alive and kicking, it meant that Yang Kai was fine.

But others wouldnt think of it this way. All the Cave Heavens and Paradises believed that you were dead. This speculation was further verified since you didnt show up after the 100 year promise was due.

Yang Kai appeared worried, Did Senior Sister Qu enter seclusion because of this?

Yes. Yu Xiang Die nodded, If you were still alive and had come to this place on time, those from Yin-Yang Cave Heaven wouldnt have gone back on their word. You would still be a Son-in-Law of Yin-Yang Cave Heaven. However, since you were thought to be dead, the engagement became invalid as well. Quer is one of the Sects Core Disciples who has a bright future after all. Given the uniqueness of the Secret Art she has cultivated, those from Yin-Yang Cave Heaven decided to look for a partner for her.

Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and asked calmly, What did Senior Sister Qu think about the idea?

Yu Xiang Die shook her head, She naturally refused. It was because of this that she decided to cultivate in seclusion. Out of sight, out of mind. At the same time, she wanted to wait for you to appear.

Yang Kai fell silent, thinking that he didnt deserve Qu Hua Shangs trust. If he had simply come on time, all this wouldnt have happened.

Quers stance was firm; however, since she is a Core Disciple, the Sect has the right to interfere in her affairs. She cant change anything on her own. If Brother Xu were still around, he could have put in a word for her; however, since hes gone, Quer was all by herself while I was far away in the Star Boundary. There was no one in the Sect who could speak up for her. She had tried her best by choosing to cultivate in seclusion to avoid this problem.

So who is the partner that your n.o.ble Sect has selected for Senior Sister Qu?

Yu Xiang Die shot him a glance, Quer is a Core Disciple who has the hope to ascend to the Eighth-Order Open Heaven Realm one day and become an Ancestor. There are not many people in the Sect who are a match for her. First of all, his apt.i.tude must be similar, and his seniority comes next. With that said, there is a suitable person. He is Chen Xius Disciple as well as Tao Ling Wans Junior Brother, Feng Cheng Si. He was the most recent Core Disciple before Quer who had directly ascended to the Sixth-Order. Although hes much older than Quer, they are of the same seniority. In fact, the Sects Managers initially wanted Quer and Feng Cheng Si to get together. However, since she had violated the taboo, they had no choice but to hold the Dao Theory a.s.sembly.

Yang Kai frowned in puzzlement, According to you, Feng Cheng Si is Chen Xius Disciple, so why would he set me up to help Junior Sister Tao Ling Wan resolve her cultivation dissonance? He wouldnt gain any benefits out of it, nor would it be beneficial to Junior Sister Tao.

It would be terrible if they had to be tied up for life because of this as it had only been a short time since they first met. It probably wasnt Tao Ling Wans intention either. She was just forced to obey her Master.

He wouldnt get any benefits out of it, but his plan could perfectly resolve the embarra.s.sing situation that Yin-Yang Cave Heaven is facing, Yu Xiang Die explained, Although I dont agree with what hes done, and I think that hes too short-sighted, theres no doubt that hes doing it to protect the Sects interests. I hope youll understand that he didnt have any ill intentions against you.

Yang Kai nodded.

Yu Xiang Die went on to say, Those from the Sect thought you were dead, so they had designated a partner for Quer; however, with you being alive now, the Sect would have to go back on their word. Thats the embarra.s.sing situation the Sect is facing.

Yang Kai could somewhat understand it. Following her explanation, he deduced, So, Chen Xiu thought of a way to resolve this conundrum, which is to pair me with his Disciple as a form of compensation. He would probably force me to give up the engagement as well. In that case, Yin-Yang Cave Heaven could get away with it, and outsiders couldnt blame your Sect.

Yu Xiang Die nodded, Yes, thats exactly his plan. Strictly speaking, Waner is not bad. Its just that her apt.i.tude is not comparable to Quers. If youre happy with her, it will be a win-win situation. Do not think that just anyone can make Chen Xiu sacrifice his Legacy Disciple. If not for your amazing achievements over the years, he wouldnt have the heart to use Waner to set you up. Back then, Waner directly ascended to the Fifth-Order, and her cultivation journey has been smooth sailing over the years. If nothing unexpected happens, shell make it to the Seventh-Order within a few hundred years. You directly ascended to the Fifth-Order as well, so outsiders would think that you and Waner are a perfect match. On the other hand, Quer would be out of your league.

Yang Kai fell silent for a while before letting out a sigh, Junior Sister Tao has sacrificed the most in this matter.

Yu Xiang Die sighed, She must have thought of it when she decided to obey her Master. Although shes innocent, shes not a fool. No fool can ever attain her achievements. Since she didnt reject it, it means that shes at least fond of you.

Yang Kai shook his head, But its different from becoming partners for life.

Its indeed an embarra.s.sing situation for Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, and its the same case for you. So, I have to ask you seriously. Are you willing to accept Tao Ling Wan and give up on Qu Hua Shang? In that case, everyone will be happy.

Everyone will be happy? Yang Kai snorted, I dont think so. Has anyone asked what Senior Sister Qu thinks about it? What is really on Junior Sister Taos mind? Whats my stance on this matter? No one has bothered to ask. Only those from Yin-Yang Cave Heaven will be happy with this!
