Novel Full Chapter 1103 112 Marry Two
Chapter 1103: Chapter 112: Marry Two? Chapter 1103: Chapter 112: Marry Two? Three days later, Fang Lin and Ye Mengxian set out together for the North Town Hall.
By then, Fang Lin was already twenty years old.
Upon reflection, stepping into the Purple Mist Sect four years ago was entering into this grand and turbulent era. Fang Lin had come this far, enduring countless trials, facing myriad life-and-death crises, teetering on the brink of death several times, but each time he had survived.
The four years seemed to pass in a flash, as though they went by very quickly, yet so much had happened.
“To think that you would ascend to the position of Hall Master so quickly, when you first came to the North Town Hall, you were just a minor Four Cauldrons Pill Refiner,” Ye Mengxian said to Fang Lin as she piloted the Flying Boat.
Fang Lin smiled slightly, “Indeed, time has flown. It all feels as if it happened just yesterday.”
Ye Mengxian looked at Fang Lin with astonishment in her eyes.
When Fang Lin had first arrived at the North Town Hall, she, Ye Mengxian, was the Hall Master there. She saw great potential in Fang Lin and believed that he was destined for greatness.
Over time, as Fang Lin grew step by step, even Ye Mengxian found herself unable to see through him, sensing that a fog enveloped him.
Even more so, Ye Mengxian suspected that Fang Lin’s strength might already be comparable to her own.
Of course, this was merely suspicion since she had not seen Fang Lin take action, making it hard to judge.
“Taking on the role of a Hall Master is not an easy matter; there will be many things to be mindful and cautious of. Once we get to the North Town Hall, I’ll explain them to you in detail,” Ye Mengxian said.
“Thank you, Master Ye,” Fang Lin bowed his hands in gratitude.
Ye Mengxian gave a bright, charming smile, “You are a Hall Master too. There’s no need to address me that way.”
Fang Lin laughed, “If I may not call you Hall Master, then how about I address you as Miss Ye?”
Ye Mengxian repeated the words “Miss Ye” to herself, seeming to find them agreeable, and nodded.
“Fang Lin, are you aware that my grandfather is intending to bring us together?” Ye Mengxian suddenly said out of the blue.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin was instantly stunned, then a weird look crossed his face, “You’re not joking, are you, Miss Ye?”
But Ye Mengxian looked utterly serious, “I am not joking. My grandfather did indeed mention wanting to betroth me to you.”
Fang Lin was truly overwhelmed: What kind of joke is this, betrothing Ye Mengxian to me? What is the meaning of this?
Between himself and Ye Mengxian, they were at most friends, without the slightest romantic involvement.
Moreover, Ye Mengxian was nominally Dugu Nian’s master. If he were to marry Ye Mengxian, what would become of Dugu Nian? Wouldn’t that create a complete mess?
Seeing Fang Lin’s shocked expression, Ye Mengxian furrowed her brows, “What? You mean you’re unwilling? Do you despise me that much?”
Fang Lin waved his hands hurriedly, “Not at all. I am just very surprised.”
To be honest, Ye Mengxian was indeed a rare beauty. Unlike the inexperienced Dugu Nian, her appearance was first-rate, and countless Pill Refiners in the Pill Alliance were enamored with her.
However, Fang Lin felt quite strange about it. During his time in the North Town Hall, he had been nominally Ye Mengxian’s disciple. Even though it hadn’t been for long, he had always addressed Ye Mengxian as Master.
Now that he had become a disciple of Elder Tiankui, treating Ye Mengxian as his equal, he still felt a bit ill at ease.
To suddenly be spoken of as marrying Ye Mengxian, that was utterly embarrassing for Fang Lin. He truly didn’t know how Ye Mengxian could so casually bring up the matter. Didn’t she feel the slightest bit awkward?
“Cough, Miss Ye, I’m afraid that might not be very appropriate,” Fang Lin said. He could face formidable enemies with a steady gaze, but when it came to matters like these, he still found himself a bit overwhelmed.
Ye Mengxian appeared very calm, looking at Fang Lin with a teasing expression, “Could it be because you once called me master, and you feel uncomfortable with it?”
Fang Lin forced a smile, “Doesn’t Miss Ye find it awkward? I was once your disciple. If the elder assigned you to me, wouldn’t that be a complete mess?”
Ye Mengxian giggled, “So what? Not to mention that I am no longer your master now, but even if I were, it wouldn’t matter. Marrying one’s own master could also be considered a beautiful tale, couldn’t it?”
A beautiful tale?
Fang Lin felt like crying. What kind of beautiful tale was this? It was more likely to be criticized for going against the norms.
“Or is it because of that girl Dugu Nian? Because she is now my disciple? If you married me, would it make her feel embarrassed?” Ye Mengxian continued, hitting the nail on the head for Fang Lin.
Fang Lin nodded: “Miss Ye, you can see it too, Dugu Nian has feelings for me. If I married you, it would probably make it impossible for her to face the two of us again.”
Ye Mengxian looked at Fang Lin, “It’s actually quite normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. You could marry me and then take Dugu Nian as well, wouldn’t that be perfect?”
Fang Lin suddenly felt massive pressure, almost jumping straight off the flying boat.
Marrying one was not enough; she wanted me to marry two. This was truly life-threatening.
“Please, Miss Ye, stop joking,” Fang Lin said, waving his hands again and again, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
Ye Mengxian’s smile faded, “I was just joking earlier; grandfather had no such intentions.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness.
Seeing Fang Lin’s relieved expression, Ye Mengxian found it both exasperating and funny. She then asked, “You said that girl Dugu Nian has feelings for you, which I can naturally see, but what about you, do you have feelings for her?” Ye Mengxian inquired.
That question caught Fang Lin off guard.
He had known Dugu Nian for a long time, been through so much together, and even shared life-and-death experiences. But did he truly have feelings for her?
Fang Lin wasn’t sure, but he knew that if Dugu Nian was in danger, he would rush to rescue her, risking everything, regardless of life or death.
Just like before, when Dugu Nian was about to marry the Crown Prince Zhou Yishui of Xuan Country, Fang Lin flew into a rage, knowing that he might die on this venture, yet he still went to Xuan City and battled the Xuan Emperor.
Does this mean that he has feelings for Dugu Nian?
Seeing that Fang Lin did not respond, Ye Mengxian’s frown deepened, seemingly displeased with Fang Lin’s silent attitude.
“You once rushed to Xuan City for her in a fit of anger, fearless even of the Xuan Emperor. This shows that you do care about her deep down,” Ye Mengxian said.
Fang Lin gave a wry smile, “Perhaps I do care about her very much, but I don’t want to dwell on these matters of romance right now.”
Ye Mengxian nodded, “That’s true. At present, you indeed cannot be bound by affections, for there is a broader world awaiting your step.”
Fang Lin remained silent, and the journey continued without much conversation.
Several days later, the towering North Town Hall amidst the wilderness came into view, and Ye Mengxian gently brought the flying boat to land.
“We welcome Master Ye!” There were people from the North Town Hall who had been waiting here for a long time.
