Yang Dingtian was speechless again. This world's top experts were so confident in their ability to pick a son-in-law.
Dongfang Minmie was like this, and Ximen Wuya was also like this.
"But your daughter hates me a lot," Yang Dingtian said.
"It's better than ignoring her."
Ximen Wuya said, "There is only a short distance between hate and love. I believe that as long as you put your heart into it, you will be able to win her heart.
Yanyan has high standards, but she is also simple and direct. You are so smart, so you should know how to deal with this kind of girl. "
Ximen Wuya thought about Yanyan's fiery wildness, her beautiful and exquisite appearance, her clear personality, her unruly nature, and her intelligence.
This kind of beauty would be tempted by all the men in the world.
However, Yang Dingtian had already promised his master, Dongfang Minmie.
His master had given up everything for him, including his life. He had already agreed, so this was a heavy responsibility.
"I know that you may have a great mission in going to Yin-Yang school. Even though Yin-Yang school is one of the three great sects in the world and is a powerful martial arts holy land.
However, what Yin-Yang school can give you, my Cloud Sky City may be able to give you, "Ximen Wuya said calmly, his tone full of pride.
Yang Dingtian felt his mouth dry. He swallowed and said, "Men and women must complement each other. Opposites attract, and opposites repel.
I have Yang Xuan Meridians, and your daughter has a fiery body. We are of the same nature and repel each other. "
"Nonsense."
Ximen Wuya smiled and said, "I have a pure Yang body, and Yanyan's mother has a fiery body. Aren't we still very loving?"
"Don't you think I am very gentle now?" Ximen Wuya asked.
Yang Dingtian nodded and said, "You are completely gentle like water."
"But I have a true Yang body. When I was young, I was completely fiery. Although Yanyan's mother and I loved each other very much, we fought every few days. My father-in-law just happily ignored it.
What's the point of a husband and wife if they don't fight? "
Ximen Wuya said, "My temperament is gentle now. Half of it is because Yanyan's mother trained me, and the other half is because of my own practice. From the Yang Fire to the cold Yin Fire, my temperament has become cold and indifferent. Then, when the Yin and Yang complement each other, my temperament naturally becomes gentle and tolerant."
Yang Dingtian was stunned again. From the simple words of Ximen Wuya, he could tell that Ximen Wuya was very powerful, even more powerful than he had imagined.
Dongfang Minmie once said that when the Yang Fire was cultivated to a certain level, it would turn into a blue Yin Fire. When it reached its peak, Yin and Yang would merge.
Furthermore, the target that Dongfang Minmie had set for Yang Dingtian was to cultivate the blue Yin flames and summon the Ring of Flames within ten years.
And the Ximen Wuya in front of him had already reached the point of merging Yin and Yang. He was really so powerful that people could only look up to him.
"City Lord Ximen, your proposal is very tempting. I am very touched by your love. Your daughter is very tempting." Yang Dingtian said, "But, I am very sorry, I can't agree!"
"Because of some special reasons, I can't agree." Yang Dingtian said again.
After saying that, Yang Dingtian almost couldn't look straight into Ximen Wuya's sincere eyes, but he still tried hard to look straight into them.
Ximen Wuya looked at Yang Dingtian like that. After a long time, he sighed softly, full of infinite regret, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Yang Dingtian suddenly said, "Are you going to kill me?"
"Why do you say that?" Ximen Wuya asked with his eyes closed.
"In the books, when the male protagonist meets this kind of situation, it is usually written that the male protagonist doesn't agree to the other party's recruitment. In order to prevent the other party from having a strong enemy in the future, the other party will eliminate the male protagonist before he grows. Many experts have this kind of mentality. If they don't recruit him for their own use, they will destroy him," Yang Dingtian said.
Ximen Wuya laughed and slapped Yang Dingtian's head. "Nonsense. What kind of messy books are you reading?"
"Why would I kill you?
You are a good child. Even if you enter the Yin-Yang school, we might not become enemies.
Although Cloud Sky City and the Yin-Yang school are on opposite sides, and the Yin-Yang school sees us as traitors, our relationship is far more complicated than you think. "
Ximen Wuya rubbed Yang Dingtian's head and said, "Even if I tell you so much now, you won't understand. Wait until you enter the Yin-Yang school, then you will understand."
"Okay, we are about to reach the Yin-Yang school in the Eastern Cloud State. I will send a small boat to send you ashore. If others see you with me, it will be detrimental to your future in the Yin-Yang school," Ximen Wuya said with a smile. Then, he left Yang Dingtian's cabin.
When he reached the door, Ximen Wuya suddenly turned around and said, "Child, my proposal will always be effective before Yanyan gets married."
"Also, what is your name?" Ximen Wuya asked.
Yang Dingtian had received so much kindness from the other party, and the other party had treated him so well. It had been half a month, yet he still hadn't told Ximen Wuya his name. It was really impolite. However, since Ximen Wuya didn't ask, Yang Dingtian didn't say anything.
"My name is Yang Dingtian."
Ximen Wuya was slightly stunned. Then, he looked at Yang Dingtian with a mischievous expression. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Good name, very domineering."
Such a mischievous expression had actually appeared on the face of a cultured and refined master. Yang Dingtian almost thought that he had seen wrongly.
Instantly, Yang Dingtian smiled bashfully.
He felt that Ximen Wuya was a very good person, at least to him.
A gentleman was as gentle as water, yet not pedantic at all.
…
One day later, the morning sun had just risen above the sea. The clouds in the sky burst forth with rays of light, and the surface of the sea sparkled.
Not far away, the Eastern Cloud State was already in sight.
At this moment, Cloud Sky City's giant ship was still a few dozen miles away from the dock. The surrounding ships on the sea were bustling with activity, hanging all kinds of flags.
There were big and small ships, but none of them exceeded the tonnage of Cloud Sky City's ship.
Amidst the cold wind, Cloud Sky City's ship also hung a flag. The design was very simple. A ball of blue flame was embroidered on a thick black background, making it look cold and austere.
It was obvious that Cloud Sky City's reputation had spread far and wide. The moment this flag was hung, the surrounding ships on the sea all moved aside, opening up a large area of the sea for Cloud Sky City's ship. It was as if they were the only ones in the world.
There were also some teams on the ships that waved their flags at the name of Cloud Sky City's ship to show their respect.
Yang Dingtian and Ximen Wuya stood at the bow of the ship. Seeing this scene, Yang Dingtian was greatly impressed. Cloud Sky City was actually so mighty and domineering.
Ximen Wuya's face was expressionless. He simply ordered, "Return the greeting!"
His voice was very low, but it could be heard in every corner of the ship. Thus, the ship also began to organize teams to wave their flags and sound their horns in response.
"City Lord Ximen, why are there so many ships?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"They're all going on a pilgrimage to the Yin-Yang school," Ximen Wuya said.
"It happens once every ten years. This year is the 550th anniversary of the birth of the Yin-Yang school's founder. It's also the 500th anniversary of the Yin-Yang school's establishment.
All the powers in the world, regardless of size, good or evil, enemy or foe, have come to pay their respects. "
"So powerful?"
Yang Dingtian was speechless. Looking at the sea, there were countless ships of all kinds. He couldn't help but ask, "There are probably a few thousand people in total. How will the banquet be able to accommodate all of them?"
"It's not just a few thousand people, it's more than tens of thousands," Ximen Wuya said.
"The sect leaders of the large sects can also bring a few outstanding disciples to the Immeasurable Mountain to pay their respects and then stay for the banquet at the Yin Yang Hall.
The small sects can only send their sect leaders to the Yin-Yang school to pay their respects and present their gifts. Then, they immediately leave for the Great Stone Quarry at the mountainside to have lunch. "
"Is it worth it to travel so far just to send a gift and have lunch?" Yang Dingtian couldn't help but ask.
"Whether it's worth it or not depends on what each person thinks.
Some people want to take advantage of this opportunity to become a disciple of a famous teacher. Some small sects want to take advantage of this opportunity to attach themselves to the famous sects. Some people even want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a name for themselves. "
Ximen Wuya said, "Besides, on this kind of special day, if you come to the Yin-Yang school, they might not remember you. But if you don't come, they might remember you."
Yang Dingtian was speechless again. When he heard Ximen Wuya's words, he already thought that the Yin-Yang school's status was very high. He didn't expect that the Yin-Yang school's actual status was even higher than he had imagined. It was almost a mythical name in the eyes of the world.
"Besides, the three great sects in the world are too high to reach. Ordinary martial arts sects don't have the chance to get close to them. The great sacrifice that is held once every ten years is almost the only opportunity for the Holy Land sects to lower their stance and let them get close to them. Everyone in the world is eager to attend," Ximen Wuya said.
Suddenly, a melodious and deafening whistling sound came from not far behind. Even though it was very far away, the sound seemed to drill into one's ears.
Hearing this whistling sound, Ximen Wuya's expression changed slightly. Then, he said indifferently, "Row the boat to the right and make way for them."
Yang Dingtian was slightly stunned. Cloud Sky City was famous all over the world. Along the way, countless ships, big and small, saluted and made way for them. It was as if they were the only ones in the world. But now, they actually made way for others. Who exactly was this person?
"It's the people from the Xuan Tian Sect," Ximen Wuya said indifferently.
"The Xuan Tian Sect of the three great sects in the world?" Yang Dingtian asked.
Ximen Wuya nodded.
Yang Dingtian hurriedly looked behind him. Because of the direct sunlight, he couldn't see any ships on the sea.
However, the whistling sound was still incessant. At the same time, a few dots appeared on the horizon in the distance. Those dots were getting closer and closer. Finally, Yang Dingtian could see clearly that they were three large snow-white birds. When they spread their wings, they were about ten meters wide. There was a man in white riding on each of them.
The three large birds flew closer and closer. Then, they passed over the heads of Yang Dingtian and the others.
It was unknown whether these birds were eagles or rocs. In short, they were extremely handsome. The people on them were wearing snow-white clothes. They were arrogant and looked down at the ships on the sea as if they were ants.
As expected of one of the three great sects in the world. This prestige and aura were simply unparalleled in the world.
"How impressive. Is the person on these large birds the master of the Xuan Tian Sect?" Yang Dingtian asked.
