Wang Ye's pupils suddenly widened.

He truly didn't expect that Meng Qian would say something like this.

Moreover, from the eye contact between Meng Qian and Lin Shuang just now, Lin Shuang did not object, clearly acknowledging it.

In other words,

he is now... being pressured into marriage by two women?

Wang Ye slightly frowned, from the beginning, he never had any ambiguity with Lin Shuang, even when Lin Shuang actively showed affection towards him, Wang Ye ignored it, responding with an "straight man's" aloofness.

It's not that Lin Shuang is bad.

During this period at the Ice Sect, Wang Ye saw everything Lin Shuang did for him, all her concerns for him, even if his heart were made of stone, over such a long time, he developed some fondness for Lin Shuang.

But...

He's not just any ordinary cultivator.

He would face many difficulties in the future.

He still has to guard Earth Star.

And guarding Earth Star means, at that time, Wang Ye might have to oppose many Spiritual Star Cultivators.

Even...

Wei City Mage Guild.

It's possible!

After all, when there are issues of mutual interests, previous relations can crumble due to interest conflicts.

At that time, Wang Ye doesn't know how many would stand by him.

Under such circumstances, Wang Ye needs to avoid involving those around him as much as possible.

"Elder Meng, Senior Sister Lin, I..."

Just as Wang Ye was about to refuse, Lin Shuang raised her hand to interrupt Wang Ye, signaling him not to continue.

Wang Ye was a bit surprised.

Lin Shuang always showed modesty in front of others, unless they're enemies, otherwise she never interrupts anyone.

But now, Lin Shuang interrupted him.

Not only did Lin Shuang interrupt Wang Ye, she also turned her attention to Meng Qian, speaking softly, yet with a meaning that Meng Qian couldn't refuse:

"Elder Meng, I want to discuss some things with Wang Ye alone, can you give us some space?"

"Alright."

Facing Lin Shuang like this, Meng Qian didn't get angry, but instead a smile appeared on her face as she waved her hand gently, creating a barrier around Wang Ye and Lin Shuang.

Preventing outsiders from seeing inside.

Nor could they probe inside using Divine Sense to know what was happening.

"Wang Ye."

Lin Shuang then focused on Wang Ye, feeling a bit embarrassed for a moment, but quickly hiding her emotions, she confronted Wang Ye and asked:

"Do you really not like me?"

"I..."

Wang Ye wanted to refuse, but seeing the determination and hope mixed with fear in the girl's eyes, afraid of hearing hurtful words, yet forcing herself to be calm in a complex mix of emotions.

These emotions, Lin Shuang thought she hid well, but Wang Ye could perceive them from her micro-expressions and eyes.

This has always been Wang Ye's forte.

Thus, from Lin Shuang's eyes, Wang Ye could instantly deduce all the emotions in Lin Shuang's heart.

This made Wang Ye choke on the refusal he initially planned to utter.

Finally.

Wang Ye shook his head, and in Lin Shuang's joyful eyes, instead of directly answering her question, he said, "The moon is very round, but what good is roundness?"

"It is good!"

Wang Ye seemed to change the subject, but Lin Shuang immediately understood his meaning, her face lighting up with joy, "If you like, we can be together, become Dao companions, and we can dual cultivate..."

As the word "cultivation" slipped out, Lin Shuang's face blushed even deeper.

Earlier, the "special cultivation technique" mentioned by Meng Qian was actually the Dual Cultivation Technique.

Even Elder Meng had not directly mentioned it, and Lin Shuang wouldn't either.

But feeling certain of Wang Ye's liking, Lin Shuang, in a moment of excitement, couldn't help but say those words.

Looking slightly worried at Wang Ye, concerned that saying such things might make her seem frivolous in Wang Ye's eyes.

Seeing no notable change in Wang Ye's expression, Lin Shuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lowering her head, clearly excited, the young girl fiddled with her fingers, her earlier ethereal demeanor replaced by a touch of adorable charm.

Lin Shuang didn't speak right away, instead, she was brewing some emotions.

After a while, Lin Shuang finally spoke to Wang Ye, "Wang Ye, are you pretending not to understand me because you fear involving me when you run into trouble?"

Wang Ye's heart trembled.

He looked at Lin Shuang with surprise.

He never expected Lin Shuang, who outwardly seemed wise and gentle, could shock him so many times in such a short period.

She understands!

She knows everything!

Initially, Wang Ye thought Lin Shuang wouldn't understand these things, but as she spoke, he realized she was aware of these issues all along; she simply hadn't voiced them before.

Lin Shuang raised her head, stealing a glance at Wang Ye to gauge his reaction.

Seeing his surprised expression, she couldn't help but stifle a laugh.

Wang Ye always remained calm, never changing his expression regardless of the situation, but because of her words, he reacted this way, making Lin Shuang find it amusing.

After laughing a little, Lin Shuang felt she had disrupted the atmosphere she worked hard to create, hurriedly lowering her head, continuing to say to Wang Ye:

"Actually, I knew from the beginning."

"From the start, when you first came to Ice Sect and began practicing Ice Frost Swordsmanship, Elder Meng had told me about you."

"She said you came from Earth Star, and while practicing Ice Frost Swordsmanship, you had an obsession; she guessed your purpose."
