Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao's playful demeanor, and a feeling of tenderness welled up!

"I said not yet." Su Yun was also a bit helpless. She knew that if she didn't say it, Ye Xiao wouldn't let her go today.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "Alright, go ahead, say it."

"Let go of me first!" Su Yun said.

Ye Xiao said, "No way, not until you say it."

"Aren't you afraid my dad is coming over?" Su Yun persuaded.

Ye Xiao was certainly not afraid of Su Yun's dad, but since he was talking to Su Yun, he couldn't act like he didn't care about Su Hualin in front of her; that would obviously be inappropriate.

"Of course, I'm afraid, that's the future father-in-law, I'm scared to death," Ye Xiao said while quickly letting go.

Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao and sighed slightly; actually, you shouldn't have come.

"Really?" Ye Xiao said, "How come I feel like you still don't want to say it?"

"I do, I do!" Su Yun found Ye Xiao was impossible to deal with, so she quickly said this.

Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "That's more like it."

Su Yun said, "Let's find somewhere else to talk. I know if I don't say it today, you won't leave."

"Who said I was going to leave?" Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"What did you say?" Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao in confusion.

Ye Xiao said, "Did you forget? We talked on the phone before that if I reached you within half an hour, you would come with me. According to our agreement, I don't need to hear you say it, and I should just take you away!"

"But you know, in the Northern Territory, unless we're on a plane, my dad will chase us down."

Ye Xiao couldn't possibly misunderstand this point; otherwise, why would he choose to listen to Su Yun instead of just taking her away?

After all, the Su family is one of the five major forces in the Northern Territory, a force not to be trifled with. So, for Ye Xiao to take Su Yun away, reliance on mere force is out of the question.

"Alright, let's find a place where I can listen to you." Ye Xiao said.

Su Yun said, "Let's find a pavilion to sit for a while!"

"Are you planning to catch a cold?" Ye Xiao reminded, "Did you forget? This is the Northern Territory, not Yunlu."

"But, are you really cold?" Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao and asked.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "With you by my side, I don't feel cold at all."

So, amidst the gazes of many, Ye Xiao took Su Yun's hand and headed towards a pavilion within the estate.

"Who is that guy? How dare he openly hold the young lady in our Su family?" A guard said in bewilderment, seeing Ye Xiao and Su Yun walk into the estate.

"Why so much nonsense? Is everything your business?" At this moment, Liuu Nong's displeased voice came over.

Upon hearing Liuu Nong's words, the guards who initially wanted to gossip about the situation didn't dare speak anymore.

However, probably not many weren't laughing inwardly at Liuu Nong, considering that usually in front of them, he acted all high and mighty. Today, the situation really fell apart, and Liuu Nong truly had a bad day.

The story splits here!

A pavilion in the Su family estate!

"The Su family is indeed extraordinary. There are eight major families in Bird City, and I've seen the estates of each family, but none can compare to the Su family estate. Hey, by the way, do you guys accept live-in sons-in-law?" Ye Xiao said with a sigh, walking towards a pavilion and speaking to Su Yun beside him.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Su Yun was speechless. Having the mood to joke at this time, probably only Ye Xiao could.

"Live-in son-in-law?" Su Yun gave Ye Xiao a sideways look and said quietly, "If you become a live-in son-in-law of the Su family, wouldn't that mean there'll be many beauties ready to skin me alive?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao immediately smiled at Su Yun and said, "Seems someone is a bit jealous."

"Pfft, who has the time to be jealous of you!" Su Yun said.

Ye Xiao said, "Let's get back to business."

Su Yun glanced at Ye Xiao, then turned to look at the sky outside the pavilion, misty as if it could snow any moment.

"The family wants me to marry a jerk!" Su Yun sighed softly and said earnestly.

Ye Xiao said, "There's nothing to discuss; just come with me now. I want to see who dares to steal my wife!"

"Ye Xiao, I'm not joking!" Su Yun turned to Ye Xiao, saying seriously, "It's true, and now it's reached a point where I have no choice but to marry."

"Why is it mandatory?" Ye Xiao looked at Su Yun and said, "If you don't marry, you don't marry. Can they force you? Even if they do, it doesn't matter. I can show them what it means to regret. I want to see if they still want to get married once they're rendered powerless. It's not like I haven't done it before."

"There's a famous sect in the Northern Territory, the Linghuo Sect, have you heard of it?" Su Yun, seeing Ye Xiao still so arrogant, felt he didn't understand the gravity of the situation, so she mentioned it.

"I've heard of it. It's second only to the top ten sects in the Yan Country and also participates in secular power struggles!" Ye Xiao said.

Su Yun said, "That's right, and the person I'm supposed to marry is the only son of the Sect Master of Linghuo Sect, meaning the future Sect Master of Linghuo Sect!"

"Linghuo Sect does indeed have a hereditary succession, differentiating it from other sects, but I didn't expect your dad to align himself with Linghuo Sect!" Ye Xiao said, smiling.

"The Su family and the Wei family in the Northern Territory have strong ties with Linghuo Sect, and the Su family and the Wei family owe much of their current strength to Linghuo Sect." Su Yun said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao said with curiosity, "Oh? How so?"

Ye Xiao only heard that the five major forces in the Northern Territory had connections with certain Martial Arts Sects, but he didn't know what kind of relationship they had.

Moreover, he didn't expect that the Su family and the Wei family would both be connected with Linghuo Sect. Is Linghuo Sect really that powerful? Is its influence so widespread?

"The previous heads of the Su family and the Wei family are now elders of Linghuo Sect and have been cultivating there for years. The main members of the Su family and the Wei family are all disciples of Linghuo Sect!" Su Yun said, "That's the relationship!"

Ye Xiao, hearing what Su Yun had said, was truly surprised. He never expected Linghuo Sect to be this powerful. Doesn't this mean that Linghuo Sect's influence in the Northern Territory is strong enough to rival the leading power, the Chu family?

However, from this point, Ye Xiao suddenly realized that many things seen with the naked eye or heard with the ear might not be true. Just like Linghuo Sect, how many people truly understand how influential Linghuo Sect is in the Northern Territory?
