Chapter 61: Sweet Talk Wins a Heart
"Since you've found out, then I won't hide it from you anymore. It was actually your Emperor who sold you to me."
Ye Chengfeng looked at Ye Ling'er with a smile.
Ye Ling'er did not doubt the truth of these words.
Those in positions of power, in their exchanges of interests, never consider the thoughts of a woman like her.
Even her best friend Lin Wan'er's marriage to Fan Xian was just Lin Wan'er being lucky.
The two were mutually attracted to each other.
"Hmph, I don't care about all that. Just demonstrate the technique you were practicing to me again, and I'll forgive you."
Ye Ling'er didn't care about any schemes or tricks; she was more interested in Ye Chengfeng's technique.
"You really are a martial arts fanatic."
However, Ye Chengfeng did not intend to keep anything to himself. He originally wanted to find a way to solve the problem of uncontrollable true qi from Ye Ling'er's cultivation technique.
"I won't let you teach me for nothing; I can also pass on the martial arts of my Ye family to you."
Ye Ling'er was calculating her scheme perfectly. She was willing to trade a lower-level technique of the Flowing Cloud Scattered Hand for Ye Chengfeng's ultimate move. It was quite a feat that she could come up with such a thing.
If anyone ever says Ye Ling'er is stupid again, Ye Chengfeng will beat them to a pulp. This girl is not stupid at all; on the contrary, she is very shrewd.
Ye Chengfeng wasn't particularly bothered by Ye Ling'er's little scheme.
At the same time, he was very confident in the difficulty of mastering his sword control technique; it wasn't that Ye Chengfeng looked down on Ye Ling'er.
"If you really want to learn, it's not that I can't teach you. Just call me 'good brother,' and maybe I'll be happy to teach you."
"Pah, you lecherous scoundrel, how many girls have you fooled with this trick?"
Ye Ling'er really wanted to slap Ye Chengfeng, but she knew her own limitations, let alone Ye Chengfeng.
She couldn't even defeat the eight swordsmen who accompanied Ye Chengfeng.
"How am I a lecher? Your Qing Kingdom's emperor has already bestowed a marriage upon you; you are my fiancée."
"Hmph, hand over the secret manual."
Ye Ling'er didn't want to argue with Ye Chengfeng any longer, so she directly asked him for the secret manual.
She didn't refute Ye Chengfeng's words, which made it very clear that she had accepted Ye Chengfeng as her fiancé.
Unlike Fan Ruoruo, Ye Ling'er is very traditional at heart, despite her usually carefree and easygoing nature.
She strongly believed in arranged marriages and the word of matchmakers!
In the original novel, Emperor Qing arranged for her to marry the Second Prince, Li Chengze, and Ye Ling'er never betrayed Li Chengze until the very end.
In the end, Li Chengze even sacrificed himself to allow Fan Xian to spare Ye Ling'er.
Neither Li Chengze's subsequent actions involved Ye Ling'er.
In the original story, Ye Ling'er was both unfortunate and fortunate.
She was protected by Ye Zhong before marriage and by Li Chengze after marriage, and was not exposed to much of the darkness of politics.
"Here, this is my signature move. See how good I am to you!"
Ye Ling'er ignored Ye Chengfeng's words.
He took the manual and began to study it carefully.
Ye Chengfeng's "Sword Control Technique" manual is very straightforward in its content.
Apart from some terms related to martial arts acupoints, the rest of the text is written in vernacular Chinese.
After reading it, Ye Ling'er both understood it and didn't understand it.
She understood the meaning of every sentence, but in practice, it was impossible for her to succeed.
"Are you kidding me? Who could possibly learn this kind of martial art?"
Ye Ling'er complained indignantly.
"Hmph, you actually don't believe me? If I hadn't been empowered by a Grandmaster, causing my true energy to become uncontrollable, I would definitely have demonstrated it to you."
Speaking of being empowered, Ye Ling'er looked at Ye Chengfeng with immense envy.
"What's wrong? You're not happy about receiving initiation from a grandmaster?"
Ye Ling'er was naturally envious. With her talent, it was questionable whether she could even break through to the ninth rank in this lifetime.
But Ye Chengfeng went straight to the ninth rank, how could she not be envious?
"What do you know? Breaking through to the ninth rank is not difficult for me at all. If it weren't for my special cultivation technique and the empowerment he gave me, I would probably be stuck at the ninth rank for the rest of my life."
Speaking of this, Ye Chengfeng cursed Emperor Qing in his heart again.
Ye Ling'er was even more envious when Ye Chengfeng brought it up.
She started learning martial arts at the age of six, and now at sixteen, her cultivation level has reached the upper seventh rank.
He's considered a genius among the younger generation.
But Ye Ling'er was clear about her own potential; breaking through to the eighth rank in the future would already be her limit.
Hearing Ye Chengfeng's words, Ye Ling'er was extremely jealous.
"You're really annoying!"
However, Ye Chengfeng seemed not to hear, as he seemed to have thought of a way to solve the problem of his uncontrollable true energy.
"Ling'er, let's cultivate together. In this way, I can transfer the true energy that the Grandmaster transferred to me into your body. You might be able to break through to the eighth rank or even the ninth rank directly."
When Ye Chengfeng mentioned the words "dual cultivation," Ye Ling'er was so embarrassed and annoyed that she couldn't speak.
This allowed Ye Chengfeng to finish his sentence.
"You scoundrel, what are you saying? We are not yet married, how can I possibly engage in dual cultivation with you?"
"No, you're overthinking it. The dual cultivation I'm referring to is when our palms face each other. Why should such a method of dual cultivation wait until after marriage?"
Ye Chengfeng feigned innocence as he spoke.
"what?"
Ye Ling'er blushed even more after Ye Chengfeng's explanation.
"How embarrassing! Ye Ling'er, Ye Ling'er, what on earth are you thinking about?"
"It's a pity that we cultivate different internal energy techniques, otherwise I really would have a way to transfer my true energy to you."
"What kind of cultivation method do you practice? If it can help you, I can switch to it."
After saying that, Ye Ling'er added, "Don't misunderstand, I'm just afraid that if you die, I'll become a widow."
It would have been better if she hadn't explained; the more she explained, the more she felt something was wrong.
"How could I have such a thought?"
Ye Ling'er secretly glanced at Ye Chengfeng and was relieved to see that his expression was normal.
"I'm so lucky to have met a fiancée like you, Ling'er. When Emperor Qing finds out how wonderful you are, he'll definitely regret it to death."
Ye Ling'er knew perfectly well that this was just Ye Chengfeng's sweet talk, but she was still overjoyed.
The secret manual that Ye Chengfeng took out next made her even more delighted.
"This...this is the Heavenly Dao Heart Sutra, the Heavenly Dao Heart Sutra of Grandmaster Ku He? How do you have it?"
"Hehe, how about that? Now you know how lucky you are, right? You should be grateful to have a fiancé like me!"
After seeing the secret manual of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Ye Ling'er had already ignored Ye Chengfeng's teasing.
He snatched the manual and began to study it.
"Don't get agitated. Remember, this secret manual must never be passed on to anyone else, or we, as husband and wife, will be forced to become fugitives!"
Why is that?
"Where do you think I got this secret technique from?"
"You didn't steal it, did you?!"
"It wouldn't be that bad. I got this from Sean. If Ku He found out, guess what would happen to us?"
Ye Ling'er gasped, puzzled as to why Xiao En possessed the Heavenly Dao Heart Sutra.
This is not the time to ask further questions.
"I've got it. I, Ye Ling'er, swear I will never pass this secret manual on to anyone else."
"Well, not really. We can teach him when we have children in the future."
"Who wants to have a child with you? Humph, what a lecherous man."
"You changed your tune so quickly! You just got the benefits, and now you're disowning me as your fiancé?"
"snort!"
Ye Ling'er snorted coldly, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and said to Xiao Mei, who was driving, "Your name is Xiao Mei, right? Prepare a set of writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone for me."
"Yes, young mistress, I will take care of it right away."
"???"
Ye Chengfeng was stunned, thinking to himself, "Is Ye Ling'er so easily fooled? Or am I just too charming?"
