C695 This Problem Is a Little Difficult
Seeing the slim figure behind the curtain move, Chu Yan's scalp suddenly went numb, and he almost blurted out subconsciously, "No!"
At the same time, behind the curtain came a clear and melodious voice like a beaded jade plate.
"Chu Yan!"
Maybe it was because Princess Ni Chang's voice was so melodious and pleasant to listen to, or maybe it was because everyone's attention was focused on the princess, and they wanted to hear who her choice was.
Therefore, at this moment, Chu Yan's objection was like a small splash of water in a huge wave, and was practically unnoticed.
In that moment, Chu Yan felt his mind going blank.
Even in the past, he had never reacted this way, no matter how dangerous the situation was.
In that instant, Lin Miaoran's beautiful face turned deathly white, her breathing almost stopped. Clutching her chest, she retreated two steps, her eyes tightly staring at the curtain.
Amongst the crowd, the unremarkable Puyang Yi looked at Chu Yan with sympathy, his lips moved as though he was saying: I knew it.
But no matter how the crowd reacted, the word "Chu Yan" was extremely clear to everyone present.
Furthermore, the telepathic thoughts of the Spiritual Master in the bronze mirror had also changed at that moment. A wave of golden ripples had rippled outwards, as if it was indicating that it knew of the choice made by Princess Ni Chang.
Just then, Chu Yan took a deep breath, came back to his senses, took a step forward and said loudly: "Princess Ni Chang, I have something to say, I-"
However, before he could even finish speaking, Qi Suifeng suddenly spoke up. Not only did he stop him, his stern gaze had fiercely stopped Chu Yan from speaking further, and he then cupped his hands towards the Yunao Kingdom Emperor and said, "Shattered Star Pavilion thanks the princess for her love. From today onwards, I will definitely urge this disciple to work hard in cultivation and make love to the princess, and definitely not let down the efforts of your majesty, your majesty and your princess."
Chu Yan was currently short of breath.
He turned and looked towards Lin Miaoran's direction.
The lightning that flashed in Lin Miaoran's eyes was like thousands of steel needles, causing him to feel pain in her heart.
He quickly turned around and was about to refuse again.
My heart has already harnessed the most important person, how can I accept another person that I have never seen before!
As if he had seen through what Chu Yan was about to do, Lian Yongzhi's voice suddenly exploded beside his ears.
"Chu Yan, don't mess around! This is the princess' choice. With so many people by your side, if you were to reject his offer, you should know the consequences! Let alone Shattered Star Pavilion not being able to protect you, in the worst case scenario, Shattered Star Pavilion might even be in trouble! Could it be that you want your teacher and the entire Shattered Star Pavilion to fall from the position of the Orthodoxy into the abyss in one night because of you? "
Hearing this, Chu Yan's body trembled.
If Lian Yongzhi had said that his rejection would bring severe consequences to Chu Yan, Chu Yan would probably reveal his intentions without any hesitation.
But now, Lian Yongzhi had put Chu Yan on board the ship that belonged to his teacher and the entire Shattered Star Pavilion, and they were both prosperous together, and injured together.
Real people could use all sorts of methods. If he knew that his chosen disciple had been rejected, and that disciple had been publicly rejected, then it would be no different from slapping his disciple in the face.
At that time, Chu Yan would be the one to vent his anger on the entire Shattered Star Pavilion —
At this moment, Chu Yan realized that the situation he was facing was unexpectedly thorny.
Just as Chu Yan was hesitating, he suddenly realised that he could not move at all.
When he wanted to open his mouth, he found that he was unable to do so, unable to speak. His entire body had become stiff, as if he was tied up by an invisible rope.
At this time, Lian Yongzhi's voice sounded once again, and her tone was extremely stern, "Chu Yan, I don't care what you're thinking right now, but it concerns the justice of the sect, and no matter who it is, you will not be allowed to cause trouble. You have to agree to this matter, the best opportunity to raise your sect since the founding of the Shattered Star Pavilion, must not be wasted in the hands of a single disciple!"
After hearing those words, then feeling the imprisoning force that caused him to be unable to move, Chu Yan's heart turned cold.
He knew that as an elder who placed the sect's interests first, there was no problem with his current actions.
But this was not what Chu Yan wanted.
"I know you're unwilling, but it doesn't mean that you have to immediately get married. Princess is a real disciple, even if you wanted to get married to her now, the princess herself might not agree."
Seemingly feeling that the words before were too harsh, Lian Yongzhi's voice sounded beside Chu Yan's ears.
"What you have agreed to right now, is not only your personal matter, but also an important step in the rise of Shattered Star Pavilion. The Immortal Path is very long. Actually, the current engagement does not restrict you much, but it is extremely important for the Shattered Star Pavilion to obtain all kinds of resources and assistance.
After a long time, perhaps you don't even need to ask which side the princess and the real person will be on to cancel the engagement, or both of you will agree that the marriage doesn't exist.
In a few hundred years, the people of the mortal world had already changed by several generations. At that time, how many people would still be alive today?
At that time, can the marriage contract continue to be counted? With your wisdom, do you still think that there is no room for detour? "
Chu Yan also understood that Lian Yongzhi's words had the tone of "first hit a stick, then give a sweet date", but he had no choice but to admit that Lian Yongzhi's words were very reasonable.
If he continued to reject them now, then he would not only be creating trouble for himself, but Lin Miaoran and the Shattered Star Pavilion would also be in trouble.
As for future matters, naturally, there would be solutions to them.
It would be too easy to have an engagement but not to get married.
For the reason of "having a feeling in your heart that your promotion is near at hand, don't worry about others", it could be dragged on for tens of thousands of years.
He couldn't think of a solution in a short period of time. Could it be that he couldn't think of it even after hundreds of years?
Furthermore, the princess was following him to the Precious Appearance Kingdom to cultivate, while he was still in the Yunao Kingdom, so how could she control her own actions and words?
It was just that the most troublesome part was how to explain it to Lin Miaoran.
"Princess Ni Chang, you have given me such a difficult question." Chu Yan glanced at the curtain.
Suddenly, he had a feeling in his heart and looked at the people around him.
Just as expected, Li Xiu, Su Jianyuan and Fan Cheng all looked at him with a sympathetic expression.
Su Jianyuan continued to sigh, as if he was sighing deeply about why the princess didn't choose him. However, even a fool could see the gloating smile in his eyes.
Chu Yan also laughed bitterly.
Who would have thought that after passing the trial of Ji Kuang Shen, right before the end of General Election of the Orthodoxy, he would fall into such a huge pit.
Just then, the Yunao Kingdom Emperor's voice sounded again.
"Since that's the case, Quasi-disciple of the Shattered Star Pavilion Chu Yan, let's meet Princess Ni Chang. Speaking of which, this is also a rare opportunity between the royal family and the sects."
