Chapter 396: Chapter 395 A Couple’s Unity
Qin Yanyang frowned slightly.
Seeing her expression, Yang Fei felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
"From the moment we met to falling in love, it was all genuine affection that grew over time. So there’s nothing else mixed into our relationship; our love should be the purest and most flawless,"
Qin Yanyang spoke slowly, looking at Yang Fei, "So why would you ask such a question? Once I marry you, I am part of the Yang Family, what does that have to do with the Qin Family? If the Qin Family were to be implicated because of this and suffer the disaster you mentioned, you cannot be blamed. But as a descendant of the Qin Family, I will stop at nothing to seek justice for them."
"So whatever happens after we are together in the future is not directly related to now. Why think so much?" Qin Yanyang looked at Yang Fei with a hint of displeasure on her face, "Besides, what do you take me, Qin Yanyang, for? The kind of woman who can only share wealth and not adversities?"
Seeing a look of annoyance between her brows, Yang Fei hurriedly reached for her hand.
Qin Yanyang drew back, avoiding his grasp.
Yang Fei grasped at air and hastily apologized, "You know that’s not what I meant, I... I was wrong to ask such a foolish question. I was just worried about bringing harm to the innocent."
Qin Yanyang had stood by him through thick and thin, and as far as her character and her feelings for him were concerned, Yang Fei found no fault. So when Qin Yanyang showed this kind of emotion, he knew he had been wrong.
Qin Yanyang huffed, "Moreover, once we are together, we shall be invincible in the world. Who could possibly threaten us then?"
Her words carried an unprecedented determination, and her strong sense of confidence even impacted Yang Fei’s mood.
Inflamed by this, Yang Fei laughed heartily, "Hahaha, that’s right. With our hearts united as husband and wife, we shall be invincible. Who could stand against us?"
Qin Yanyang snorted, "I’m not your wife yet."
Yang Fei shamelessly moved closer to grab her hand again, "You already are, it’s written in the marriage certificate, and it’s stored in the national archives. You, Qin Yanyang, are already my lawful wife, and you can’t escape that."
Qin Yanyang had never been in a relationship before, so naturally, she had never encountered such a shameless man.
With him closing in and forcefully taking her hand, feeling his robust presence, even her valiant spirit stirred up the softer side of a woman’s nature. After symbolically struggling for a bit, she let him hold her hand.
Yang Fei moved behind her, wrapping his arms around her, enveloping her tightly with his strong, safe chest, and whispered in her ear, "I’m sorry, I won’t ever ask such a stupid question again. Will you forgive me?"
Being held by him like this, feeling his warm breath by her ear, listening to his apologetic words, any resentment in Qin Yanyang’s heart dissolved, and with a blushing face, she said, "First, let me go."
"I won’t let go. Such a marvelous woman like you, I’ll never let go of in my lifetime." Yang Fei’s skill in speaking cheesy lines had only increased.
Men are such, once in love, even the normally reserved ones can suddenly find a ’quick wit’, becoming accustomed to saying things that move women’s hearts.
Qin Yanyang had already experienced Yang Fei’s shamelessness, and as long as he didn’t go too far, she let him hold her like that, her face flushed as she asked, "So why did you suddenly ask that question today? What are you worried about?"
Yang Fei hesitated.
Qin Yanyang insisted firmly, "Don’t keep secrets from me."
Yang Fei actually planned not to tell her, but hearing her say this, he compromised and said, "You know my master is the Fatty Taoist, but do you know which sect he is from?"
Qin Yanyang shook her head, "Didn’t we speculate before that he’s from a Cave Heaven Blessed Land?"
"He’s from the Taoist sect," said Yang Fei.
Qin Yanyang’s body trembled.
Feeling her reaction, Yang Fei turned her around to face him and said, "Do you know about the Taoist sect?"
Qin Yanyang looked at Yang Fei with a grave expression and, instead of answering, counter-questioned, "So in a sense, you are also a Taoist disciple?"
Yang Fei nodded.
Qin Yanyang’s elegant eyebrows furrowed as she said in a deep voice, "Then that really is a bit troublesome."
She paused, then continued, "Have you forgotten what my grandfather said? The cultivation technique I’m practicing was passed on to me by your master through him."
Yang Fei’s eyebrows rose, and he nodded, "Right, by that account, you are also a Taoist inheritor?"
Qin Yanyang slowly nodded.
Yang Fei hastily said, "No, we absolutely cannot let others know that your cultivation technique comes from my master, nor can your identity as a Taoist disciple be investigated."
Qin Yanyang gave a faint smile, looked at Yang Fei, and said, "What difference does it make? You are a Taoist disciple, and I am your wife, which makes me a Taoist’s wife. Whether I am a Taoist disciple myself or not makes no difference."
Yang Fei fell silent.
Qin Yanyang spoke softly, "Regarding matters of the Taoists, the Hidden Sect World has always avoided the topic because they all have the blood of Taoists on their hands. But they take the matter of a Taoist inheritor very seriously, so if your identity as a Taoist disciple is exposed within the Hidden Sect, you will become the public enemy of the Hidden Sect."
Yang Fei gave a wry smile and said, "That’s precisely why I asked you that question just now."
Qin Yanyang nodded silently, "I know."
Yang Fei said, "I’ve encountered a few experts from the Hidden Sect a few times, and thinking back, the people from the Hidden Sect aren’t as frightening as they seem."
Qin Yanyang slowly nodded and said, "Yes, they are just cultivators who have practiced longer. They are not gods or buddhas. We are still young with immense potential, and with the complementary cultivation methods to aid us, it won’t be long before we can grow stronger and no longer fear the pursuit of the Hidden Sect’s elites."
"That’s why we need to find a quiet and safe place to cultivate," Yang Fei said.
His strength hadn’t fully returned to its peak yet, and his dangerous identity as a Taoist disciple gave him a sense of urgency.
Become stronger!
Become so formidable that the mere mention of his name would strike fear into others.
Only then could he deter the malicious, and ensure his family and friends would not be implicated.
His master had granted him a new lease on life. If in the future his master appeared before him, recounted tales of the Taoist past, and spoke of reviving the Taoist legacy or investigating the annihilation of the Taoists long ago, how could he refuse?
In that moment, Yang Fei felt an additional sense of responsibility and pressure.
"With all this being said, our marriage..." Qin Yanyang hesitated a little, then looked at Yang Fei, "Your uncle has everything ready, right? The villagers care a lot about these things, and if we change the wedding date, won’t they make wild guesses?"
Yang Fei was a bit speechless as he responded, "Are you still thinking about that at a time like this?"
Qin Yanyang’s cheeks flushed as she said, "Getting married is a very, very big deal for me."
The major milestones of life are marriages and funerals.
For someone like Qin Yanyang, who took her feelings seriously and was faithful in love, marriage was the most important event in her life, which was why she cared so much about it.
Seeing her so earnest, passion surged in Yang Fei’s heart, and he declared, "Fine, the wedding date won’t change, and we don’t need to find a place to seclude ourselves for cultivation. I want to see if the Hidden Sect really dares to cause trouble."
Qin Yanyang uttered a sound of agreement and nodded, "As long as you and I are together, and with the deterrence of the Military Department, the Hidden Sect people should not dare to go too far. Nevertheless, we should still take the cultivation matter seriously. I know a place, absolutely safe."
