But now that she was in front of him, before she showed her power, Liu Yuan first humbled himself and acted like a serious person again, with a gentle smile on his handsome face and appropriate words, just like a graceful and polite young man, completely different from the slick or annoying person Ye Danqing had imagined.

Even, even…it is very consistent with the Ye family head’s positioning of outstanding young talents.

Ye Danqing was silent for a while, and the momentum he had been building up collapsed in an instant.

The resentment she had accumulated towards Liu Yuan in the past, and the vague affection she had for him after meeting him now, contradicted each other and formed a very subtle feeling that made her feel uncomfortable all over and she didn’t know how to start.

Chapter 353: Innocent Liu Junxuan

The changes in Ye Danqing’s expression during his silence were naturally clearly seen by Mr. Liu.

Liu Yuan was very good at grasping these subtle emotions, and he knew in his heart that this time he was 90% sure.

Although he had not tried to conquer Ye Danqing before he traveled through time, he had some understanding of his mother-in-law’s character. As a feudal patriarch, the thing that pleased her most was nothing more than “in accordance with the rules.”

If we switch to the modern era, Ye Danqing is the kind of traditional housewife who has been a good girl since childhood, who grows up to marry and have children in an orderly manner, and who dresses absolutely conservatively, never overstepping the boundaries in the slightest.

Although she has been in charge of the Xuanyin family for many years, she is actually not cut out for it.

It’s just that the Xuanyin family’s conservative way of management allows her to continue according to the past rules, which suits her personality. She doesn’t have to put in any effort and just needs to do things in an orderly manner.

Ye Danqing could not do what Duan Lanruo did, who used iron-blooded means to seize power and make Wanjian City prosper for hundreds of years, becoming more prosperous than before and even expanding outward.

In other words, if faced with major changes, Ye Danqing would have no way out.

She doesn’t hate things outside the rules, but she is avoiding them.

For example, the appearance of Liu Yuan is an unprecedented huge variable.

From the beginning when Ye Danqing was easily tricked by Duan Lanruo in Wanjian City, to how he became so angry because of Liu Yuan’s few words that he traveled thousands of miles to come to Yuxu Taoist Sect.

Everything showed her panic.

After pondering for a period of time, Liu Yuan, the God of Strategy, has seen through this strong-looking but weak-hearted patriarch of the Xuanyin family.

Since she is afraid of changes, create an illusion of “compliance with the rules” for her and let her jump into the trap.

The strategy for conquering Duan Lanruo is to tear apart the shackles of morality, speak her mind, break the shackles in her heart, and release her emotions.

But for Ye Danqing, it was just the opposite.

If you insist on being tough, she will choose to resist and escape. The more out of the situation, the more she doesn’t know how to deal with it. She would rather give up thinking and go back to her own set of rules.

Therefore, you must create a reasonable step for her, an acceptable reason, so that she can convince herself!

So Liu Yuan changed his strategy this time. He first portrayed himself as “compliant” so that Ye Danqing could not question him and he kept the initiative in his own hands.

By the way, try to make the best first impression – although the head of the Ye family admits that he does not have a good impression of him, it is different after all to meet him face to face.

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

It is not difficult to persuade the head of the Ye family to take the initiative as long as we appeal to his emotions and reason, and fool… ahem.

Liu Yuan put on a lot of pretense and bowed with an extremely sincere look, but in fact he was extremely shameless, as if he was saying “I won’t get up unless you forgive me.”

Although Ye Danqing wanted to make trouble, he was helpless.

This “Jiang Feng” apologized politely, and it would seem unreasonable for her to scold him with a stern face.

She pursed her lips, feeling pent up in her heart but unable to vent, so she could only snort and sit down, “Since you claim to be my son-in-law, does that mean you agree to marry into my Xuanyin family?”

Ye Danqing raised her beautiful eyes slightly, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.

Liu Yuan stood up, blinked his eyes when he heard that, and smiled without being servile or arrogant: “Although I, Liu Junxuan, do not have a distinguished background, and in fact, I am just a casual cultivator, I am also a man. Naturally, I must marry Ci Ke in a formal way and bring her into the Liu family.”

Casual cultivator?

If you believe me, I would have been the head of the Xuanyin family for so many years in vain.

Isn’t the White Tiger Lord who descended upon the Yuxu Taoist sect not long ago the ironclad evidence of the saint’s status?

Ye Danqing sneered: “That sounds nice, but I know that there are more than a handful of women who have had ambiguous relationships with you. Are you going to marry all of them?”

“Can you keep those women in check? What will be Ci Ke’s status by then? One of your concubines?”

“And…I have no intention of writing off the incident in Wanjian City when you fought against Ci Ke for Duan Lanruo.”

Although Liu Yuan really wanted to say that as long as the entire Xuanyin family gave as a dowry, no one would dare to bully Ye Ci Ke.

But now that I’m talking about it, I don’t know if there will be any dowry, but there will definitely be enough burial supplies…

“Ahem…of course not.”

Liu Yuan said solemnly: “Although I drew the sword for City Lord Duan, the sword was not aimed at Ci Ke, but at Li Jiutong who was ordered to attack at that time.”

He sighed, “Master Ye, at this point, I will not pretend to be hypocritical and say something like I will treat everyone equally. That is unrealistic. Besides, how can the word love be compared with each other?”

Phrases like “you are the most important to me” were only used when doing in-game strategies. After all, they were separate processes that did not interfere with each other and would not create a Shura Field.

If he dared to say this to anyone now, unless she never met anyone else, he would be in trouble if the truth was revealed later.

So it’s better to change tactics.

Ye Danqing neither understands nor understands the relationship between men and women, and she hates sweet talk. The stereotype tells her that men who say sweet words are bad men and liars.

Saying some flowery love words to assure that you love Ye Ci Ke the most is probably useless and will even cause disgust. It is better to pretend to be an honest person.

Liu Yuan continued to speak sincerely, “It’s true that Ci Ke has feelings for me, and I also love her innocence and purity, but City Lord Duan has even deeper feelings for me. At that time, Ci Ke was furious and hinted at her… for not being a good wife. How could I tolerate that?”

He looked at Ye Danqing and said in a deep voice, “During this period of time, I believe that Patriarch Ye also knows what kind of person City Lord Duan is. She has managed Wanjian City to its current level with her own efforts. It can be said that she has worked hard and endured hardships. She has never done anything excessive or beyond the rules with me. She has given too much for me. How can I let her get hurt because of this?”

This is true. Liu Yuan and Duan Lanruo have never had any relationship so far. He only gets along well with Duan Lanruo’s personal guard A Yue… and a group of Jinlan guards.

Ye Danqing was somewhat moved when she heard this, but not because of these words, but because she thought of Duan Lanruo… When she was staying in Wanjian City, Duan Lanruo had already demonstrated her strong diplomatic skills and “turned enemies into friends” with Ye Danqing, and they became close friends.

During this period, he naturally could not help but “confide” how he and Liu met, got to know each other, and fell in love, and how he struggled in his heart between secular ethics and his own emotions.

As Ye Danqing is also the head of a family, he naturally feels some empathy, and even occasionally thinks about the question “What would I do if it were me?”

This guy… is indeed sentimental.

What’s more, if he can really extend the lifespan of the people of the Xuanyin family, he would be their great benefactor. So what’s wrong with agreeing to this marriage?

“Forget it. Ci Ke 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, “There is just one thing you need to remember. If you dare to let Ci Ke suffer any injustice again, even if a saint comes out, my Xuanyin family will make sure you don’t get away with it.”

Liu Yuan was naturally overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

After finishing the digression, Ye Danqing was silent for a while. Thinking of the real purpose of his visit, he felt a lump in his throat and was at a loss, not knowing how to start.

But it’s not a good thing to keep silent like this. This guy is the same. Could it be that he has forgotten too?

She has to tell the story herself…

After a long while, she bit her lip, took out a small jade bottle from her sleeve, and said with a deliberately stern face: “Okay, you…you quickly take out the medicine so that I can take it back.”

Chapter 354 Back Figure Finale

Liu Yuan personally handed the “medicine lead” to Ye Danqing in this room.

However, because the head of the Ye family had some physical injuries when he took the medicine and was too tired, he fainted directly after taking it. Therefore, Liu Yuan had to put aside the distinction between men and women as a temporary measure and carried the unconscious head of the Ye family to his room for temporary placement.

“It seems that I have gone too far…”

He looked at the head of the Ye family who was leaning softly in his arms. Her face, which was originally as beautiful and noble as a water lotus, revealed a natural charm.

The faint blush that still remained on her face, her furrowed brows, and a few strands of hair on her forehead that were stuck to her fair and rosy skin due to sweat all seemed a little ambiguous.

These are all the aftereffects of working too hard.

Liu Yuan personally cleaned up the still somewhat disheveled Ye Danqing – although magic was more convenient, it was obviously not enough to show his respect for Ye Ci Ke’s mother.

He put the clean and refreshed head of the Ye family on his bed. The latter moaned and finally woke up slowly. After opening his eyes, he still looked a little dazed.

“Master Ye, how do you feel?”

Liu Yuan sat on the bed and smiled, whispering, “I have taught you everything I know, without keeping anything for myself. I have devoted all my energy and efforts to our Xuanyin family…”

Ye Danqing came to his senses halfway through his speech.

The head of the Xuanyin family opened his eyes wide, his face flushed red, and he was almost ashamed and angry. Looking at the guy who was brazenly praising him, he stood up and raised his hand to hit him: “Shameless! How could you, how could you do such a thing! How can you be worthy of Ci Ke! I, I…”

Unfortunately, the head of the Ye family was flustered at the moment, and he had no strength in his hands. He didn’t even think of using his spiritual power. He was caught by Liu Yuan and pulled into his arms.

“you!”

Ye Danqing was caught off guard and fell on Liu Yuan, her face resting on the young man’s chest. When she raised her head, she could almost touch his lowered face, and her nose was filled with a familiar yet unfamiliar masculine scent.

What happened before suddenly came back to Ye Danqing’s mind and broke through his defenses.

That damned bastard sighed, and a voice that sounded distressed but with a hint of laughter rang in his ears: “Master Ye…just now, you took the initiative to get the medicine…”

Ye Danqing’s eyes froze for a moment, he couldn’t believe that this was really the truth.

But memories cannot be faked, and what’s more, she can even feel the joy personally at this moment… What was she thinking at that time? Can the attraction between the dark yin and the dark yang really change a person’s mind?

If this is true, then if she takes the medicine back, will the Xuanyin family also…

Liu Yuan pinched Ye Danqing’s soft and slender hand and played with it. Looking at the beauty’s struggling expression, he sighed, “I know that Master Ye is in a difficult situation. No third person will know about what happened before. Just pretend that it never happened. From now on, I will hide this beautiful memory in my heart… I will treat Ci Ke well.”

He touched Ye Danqing’s cheek reluctantly, and before she could react, he leaned over and kissed her lips.

“Well!”

The head of the Ye family was full of resentment and struggled in vain. He slapped Liu Yuan’s shoulder with one hand, but gradually the strength was lost and the hand just rested on his shoulder.

After a while, Liu Yuan loosened his hands and mouth, stood up and backed away, smiling and saying, “I can’t help it. I hope Master Ye will forgive me… Master Ye can stay here for the next few days. I’ll ask someone to make arrangements.”

After he said that, he turned and left, pausing at the door.

Ye Danqing was left sitting alone on the bed, at a loss, his heart still pounding. He looked at the closed door with a complicated expression, then suddenly frowned and bit his lip: “What does this guy mean… Don’t you think he doesn’t want to take responsibility?”

There was deep helplessness hidden in Liu Yuan’s last smile.

Patriarch Ye patted the bed angrily, staring at the door and muttering to himself: “You said it didn’t happen, so it didn’t happen? Coward, what’s the point of your reputation? You saved the Xuanyin family and it was the highest righteousness. Ci Ke was not my own child. As long as you want…”

The sound gradually became weaker and weaker, and no one knew what would happen next.

She took a deep breath in anger, turned around and found the small jade bottle on the bedside, which was already full.

Ye Danqing’s face flushed, and he reached out to take it cautiously like a thief. He held it in his hand and rubbed it, lost in thought for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking about.

–

Liu Yuan walked out of the door leisurely, then smiled as if he had made a plan.

Under the pretext of legitimacy, he let the head of the Ye family “fall into depravity”, and then, by retreating, he gave her another push and let her take the initiative.

The god of strategy who can grasp the opponent’s psychology is always successful.

You are really worthy of it, Liu Junxuan.

Liu Yuan praised himself for his own amusement, and then went to deal with the remaining affairs in a refreshed and leisurely manner, and reported the progress of his strategy to Duan Lanruo by the way.

In the next few days, he did not go to see Ye Danqing again.

On the one hand, it was to give Patriarch Ye more room to think and use his imagination, so that the emotions that had just been aroused by him could be maximized, and he could really win her over.

On the other hand, it was because he did have some things to resolve and explain.

This time he officially left Zhongzhou and didn’t know when he would be able to come back. He simply told Ling Yao, Duan Lanruo and Huang Quan the locations of some secret dungeons that only he knew about.

Lingyao also has a mess of the Yuxu Taoist sect. Duan Lanruo has to continue rebuilding Wanjian City, while Huang Quan has to take charge of the operation of Biluo Mansion and promote Su Lanfeng to be the new Huangquan messenger to replace “Meisheng”.

Everything was in ruins and resources were needed at that time, and Liu Yuan was undoubtedly a great help.

Naturally, he had to ask for his “reward”… However, Duan Lanruo was far away in Wanjian City and could not be touched. Ling Yao was very busy, so he could only play a game with Huang Quan to count how many times the bell rang.

In addition, Liu Yuan sent the little phoenix, which had no surplus value after deceiving Ye Danqing, to the Fusang Sea. Before leaving, Liu Yuan almost completely completed the nirvana of the phoenix that had been interrupted.

After that, Ye Danqing, who had been neglected for a long time, left without saying goodbye, taking away Liu Yuan’s medicine and Ye Ci Ke.

When Liu Yuan finally had some free time, he found that he had nothing to do.

Only then did he suddenly realize that he really should leave.

At the same time, news came from the northern battlefield where the Demon Sect was being encircled and suppressed that Qinglian Jianzi and Luosha Witch would have a decisive battle in Beihuang Mountain in about a month to decide the outcome.

“You’re useless! You can’t even do this!”

“boom!”
