After Favorability Is Maxed

348 The Innocent Liu Junxuan

Ye Danqing’s expression changed as she fell into silence. Naturally, this Liu could see it clearly.

Liu Yuan was the best at controlling these subtle emotions, and he knew that this time, he was 90 percent sure.

Although he had never tried to get Ye Danqing’s attention before he transmigrated, he had some understanding of his mother-in-law’s character. As a feudal matriarch, the word ‘following the rules’ was the only word that followed her heart.

In the modern world, Ye Danqing was the kind of obedient girl who would marry and have children according to the rules when she grew up. She was also a traditional housewife who wore conservative clothes and never overstepped the boundaries.

Although she had been in charge of the Xuanyin family for many years, she was not really cut out for this.

It was just that the conservative way of the Xuanyin family’s operations allowed her to continue following the rules of the past, which was in line with her personality. She didn’t need to waste too much effort, and only needed to do things in an orderly manner.

Ye Danqing could not have controlled the City of Ten Thousand Swords like how Duan Lanruo did and made the city prosper day by day for hundreds of years. It was even more prosperous than before and even expanded outwards.

In other words, Ye Danqing would be helpless if he was faced with a huge change.

She did not hate things outside the rules, but she was avoiding them.

For example, Liu Yuan’s appearance was an unprecedented huge variable.

Ye Danqing had been easily schemed against by Duan Lanruo in the City of Ten Thousand Swords, and Liu Yuan’s few words had made her travel thousands of miles to the Jade Mirage Sect in anger.

All of this showed her panic and helplessness.

After pondering for a while, Liu Yuan, the God of Conquering Strategy, had already seen through the head of the Xuanyin family, who was strong in appearance but weak in reality.

Since she was afraid of changes, he would create an illusion that she was ‘following the rules’ and let her jump into the trap herself.

The strategy to deal with Duan Lanruo was to tear away the shackles of morality, speak frankly, break the shackles in her heart, and release her emotions.

However, it was the opposite for Ye Danqing.

If she was stubborn, she would choose to resist and escape. The more out of the ordinary she was, the more she did not know how to deal with it. She would rather give up thinking and go back to her own set of rules.

Therefore, he had to create a reasonable excuse for her, an acceptable reason for her to convince herself!

Therefore, Liu Yuan changed his strategy and made himself ‘compliant with the rules’ so that Ye Danqing could not criticize him and he could take the initiative.

At the same time, he would try to get the best first impression – although the Ye Family Head did not have a good impression of him, it was different when they were face to face.

Judging from Ye Danqing’s performance, the effect was outstanding.

He just needed to move her with emotion and reason, and deceive her… Cough, cough. It was not difficult to convince this Ye family head to take the initiative.

Liu Yuan immediately put on an act. He looked extremely sincere and bowed deeply, but in reality, he was extremely mischevious, as if he was saying: ‘I won’t get up if you don’t forgive me.’

Although Ye Danqing wanted to make things difficult for him, he was helpless.

This ‘Jiang Feng’ had apologized obediently, so if she continued to reprimand him with a straight face, it would seem like she was being unreasonable.

She pursed her lips, unable to vent the anger in her heart. She snorted softly, flicked her sleeves, and sat down. “Since you claim to be my son-in-law, does that mean that you agree to marry into my Xuanyin family?”

Ye Danqing’s beautiful eyes looked up with a trace of scrutiny.

Liu Yuan stood up, blinked his eyes, and smiled. “I, Liu Junxuan, don’t come from an illustrious family. I’m just a wandering cultivator, but I’m still a man. Of course, I’ll marry Cike and bring him into the Liu family.”

Wandering cultivator?

If I believed you, I would have wasted my years as the Head of the Xuanyin family.

Then, wasn’t Divine Lord White Tiger, who had descended on the Jade Mirage Sect not long ago, the irrefutable evidence that he was a Saint? What nonsense.

Ye Danqing sneered. “That sounds nice. But I know more than a handful of women who have an ambiguous relationship with you. Are you going to marry all of them?”

“Can you control those women? What would be Cike’s status then? One of your concubines?”

“And… Back in the City of Ten Thousand Swords, I don’t intend to write off the matter of you attacking Cike on Duan Lanruo’s behalf.”

Liu Yuan really wanted to say that as long as the entire Xuanyin family was willing to be his dowry, no one would dare to bully Ye Cike.

But now that he said it, he did not know if there was a dowry, but there was definitely enough for a funeral…

“Cough cough… Naturally, I won’t.”

“Although I pulled out the sword for City Lord Duan, the sword’s tip was not aimed at Cike, but Li Jiutong, who had followed his orders,” Liu Yuan said seriously.

He sighed and said, “Ye Family Head, now that things have come to this, I won’t pretend to be hypocritical and say that everything is fair. That’s not realistic. Besides, how can the word ‘love’ be compared with each other?”

Things like ‘You are the most important to me’ was something that could be said in the game. After all, it was a separate process that did not interfere with other characters, and there was no such thing as a Asura Arena.

Now, if he dared to say this to anyone, unless she would never meet anyone else, he would be in trouble if he was exposed.

Therefore, it was best to change tactics.

Ye Danqing did not know much about the relationship between men and women, and she hated flowery words. The stereotype told her that men who said sweet nothings were all bad men and liars.

It would be useless to say some flowery words of love to ensure that he loved Ye Cike the most. It would also attract disgust, so he might as well pretend to be an honest man.

Liu Yuan continued sincerely, “Cike’s feelings for me are true. I also love her innocence and purity. However, City Lord Duan is even more loyal to me. At that time, Cike was so angry that he secretly ridiculed her… How can I bear it if you don’t keep your chastity?”

He looked at Ye Danqing and said in a low voice, “During this period of time, I’m sure you know what kind of person City Lord Duan is. She managed the City of Ten Thousand Swords to its current state with her own strength. She went through painstaking means and endured hardships. She was affectionate with me but only polite. She has never done anything that went beyond the line. She’s innocent and pure. She has sacrificed too much for me. How can I let her get hurt because of this? ”

What he said was true. Liu Yuan and Duan Lanruo had never had sex until now. He only had sex with Duan Lanruo’s personal guard, Ah Yue… There was also a group of Golden Orchid guards… Well, they got along well.

Ye Danqing’s heart was moved, not because of these words, but because she thought of Duan Lanruo… While they were temporarily staying in the City of Ten Thousand Swords, Duan Lanruo had already displayed her powerful diplomatic skills and ‘turned enemies into friends’ with Ye Danqing, becoming close friends.

During this period, it was inevitable for her to ‘talk’ about how she and Mr. Liu knew each other and loved each other, and how her heart was fighting against the secular customs and her own feelings.

As the head of the same family, Ye Danqing naturally had some empathy. Sometimes, she would even think about the question of ‘what would I do if I were in his place?’

This guy… He was indeed sentimental.

Moreover, if he could really extend the lifespans of the Xuanyin family, he would be their great benefactor. So what if they agreed to this marriage?

“Forget it. Cike has deep feelings for you. Even if I insist on separating you two, I’m afraid it will only make her hate me, so… It’s up to you.”

Ye Danqing knocked on the table and said, “But there is one thing you must remember. If you dare to make Cike suffer any more grievances, even if a Saint comes out of seclusion, the Xuanyin family will not let you off easily.”

Liu Yuan was naturally overjoyed and repeatedly agreed.

Ye Danqing was silent for a while after she finished talking about the irrelevant things. She felt as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat when she thought about the real purpose of this trip. She did not know what to do and did not know how to start.

But it was not good to keep silent like this. This guy too, could it be that he had forgotten?

And she had to say it herself…

After a long while, she bit her lips and took out a small jade bottle from her sleeve. She deliberately put on a stern face and said, “Alright, you… Hurry up and take out the medicine primer so I can bring it back.”
