Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

"If it were really about marrying Ayan, you wouldn't be the first one, would you?"

Tingyun's beautiful eyes held a hint of resentment: "Lord Yukong, I don't like hearing you say that."

"I am the one who has been with my benefactor the longest, how can it be my turn?"

Yu Kong was not only a trustworthy superior to Ting Yun, but also a savior who came to his rescue when he encountered danger while traveling.

In Tingyun's heart, Yu Kong had become a radiant idol. She regarded him as her spiritual sustenance and a guiding light on her path.

Therefore, whenever Tingyun encounters troubles or emotional problems that are difficult to resolve, she confides in Yukong.

Yu Kong took out a handkerchief and wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth: "Ting Yun, I am very pleased."

"Although I have long intended to entrust my future to you, I am also hesitant about when the right time will come?"

"Now it seems the time has come."

"Tingyun, your ability to break through the encirclement in the Shura Field and defeat Jingliu and Fuxuan proves that you are qualified to serve as the captain."

Tingyun blushed and hurriedly explained, "Wait, Lord Yukong."

“My benefactor was unaware of this matter; it was all my own decision.”

Yu Kong frowned and said, "Hmm? When did you become so bold?"

"Tingyun, you made this decision without his consent. Aren't you afraid he'll dislike you?"

Tingyun chuckled: "Lord Yukong, you are mistaken. Just recently, our benefactor proposed to all of us."

Why don't you guess who agreed?

Yu Kong slowly said, "I guess no one will agree. You are all arrogant women."

"Jing Liu, she was the creator of the Cloud Cavalry's undefeated reputation and the swordswoman of the Luofu Immortal Ship."

"Fu Xuan is the head of the Grand Diviner of Luofu Immortal Ship and a descendant of the prestigious Fu family, a family of astrologers on Jade Palace Immortal Ship."

"Tingyun, the next captain of the Tianbo Company, is a rising star in the history of Luofu trade."

"I won't go into the details about the others. You all have your own pride, how could you possibly be willing to share a husband with another woman?"

Yu Kong's guess was not without reason. If Huo Huo had not appeared as a variable, Fu Xuan and Jing Liu would have continued to struggle with Su Jinyan for a long time.

However, Huo Huo's bold move broke the deadlock.

Originally, everyone was living in peace, out of sight, out of mind, and simply pretending the other didn't exist.

But Huo Huo insisted on running away, and not only did she successfully register her marriage with Su Jinyan, but she also changed Su Jinyan's opinion of her, and he officially regarded her as his petite lover.

This made Fu Xuan and Jing Liu very uneasy.

There's still a chance to win if we strike hard now.

If Huo Huo and Su Jinyan were allowed to rekindle their relationship for a while longer, Su Jinyan would probably spoil Huo Huo rotten.

Under these circumstances, Jing Liu and Fu Xuan had no choice but to compromise.

From the initial absolute impossibility of sharing a husband to the current scramble for the position of the principal wife, it all demonstrates the immense contribution Huo Huo unintentionally made.

Tingyun bit her lip lightly: "What Lord Yukong said makes sense, but that's all in the past."

"Do you know Huo Huo? She's the newly appointed judge of the Ten Kings' Division. She single-handedly forced all of us to compromise..."

Tingyun considered herself a fox beauty who "bites her teeth," but little did she know that from Yu Kong's perspective, Tingyun at this moment looked like a defeated fox who "grits her teeth."

As Tingyun recounted the story, Yukong couldn't help but look at Huohuo with newfound respect.

Indeed, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; one should never underestimate any opponent in the game of love.

Tingyun said confidently, "But that's all in the past."

"Think about it, none of us agree to marry our benefactor now."

"If at this time, I secretly agreed to the marriage proposal and even married my benefactor in secret."

"Doesn't that mean that I've won the race in this marathon of love?"

Yu Kong narrowed her beautiful eyes: "Ting Yun, your perspective is still too narrow."

Tingyun asked in confusion, "What insightful opinion does Lord Yukong have?"

Yu Kong scolded him with exasperation, "Getting married secretly? How could you even think of that?"

"Marriage is a significant event in life. If you have to hide it from others, what's the point?"

"In my opinion, if you want to marry Ayan, you should have a grand and spectacular wedding."

"Let everyone know that it is Tingyun who is marrying Su Jinyan, not Jingliu or Fu Xuan..."

Tingyun sighed: "Lord Yukong, do you think this humble woman doesn't want to?"

"If I were to announce this matter in a grand manner, do you think Jing Liu and Fu Xuan would ruin my wedding?"

"What if the marriage doesn't happen and I become a laughingstock?"

Yu Kong gently shook his head: "Wrong, Ting Yun, you are completely wrong to think that way."

"With your extensive business connections, you could easily invite all your major clients to your wedding."

"Lady Black Tower, Miss Estádio, Lady Toppa, scholars of the Society of Learned Scholars, knights of the Order of Pure Beauty..."

"If you invite all these people over, who would dare to disregard the bigger picture and deliberately sabotage your wedding?"

“In that case, disrupting the wedding would be tantamount to publicly humiliating Ayan.”

Tingyun's beautiful eyes lit up: "That makes sense, Lord Yukong makes sense."

But then Tingyun became troubled again: "My benefactor won't agree, will he?"

"Because this undoubtedly announces something to others—Tingyun is the legitimate wife."

"In my humble opinion, it would be more in line with my benefactor's wishes if we continued to compete with each other for the position of the principal wife."

Yu Kong couldn't help but chuckle: "Heh, that kid's got some pretty good ideas."

“Tingyun, don’t underestimate yourself. Your achievements in business are in no way inferior to Jingliu and Fuxuan.”

"If you trust me, you can leave this matter to me to make it happen."

Tingyun was overjoyed: "Of course I trust Lord Yukong."

"On the Luofu Immortal Ship, there are only three people I can truly trust: my benefactor, the general, and Lord Yu Kong."

"It's just that Lord Yukong has treated me so well, I really don't know how to repay your kindness."

Yu Kong sighed, "What are you talking about repaying a debt of gratitude for? Just don't tell anyone if you cause trouble in the future."

......

The next morning.

Su Jinyan arrived at Sichen Palace as promised.

Although he didn't know why Yu Kong wanted to see him, he always respected Yu Kong and dared not ignore Yu Kong's invitation.

Could it be that Lord Yukong sought me out about Tingyun?

The relationship between soaring through the air and stopping in the clouds is the closest, so this is probably the only possibility.

Upon seeing Su Jinyan arrive, Yu Kong, who was busy with tedious official duties, immediately stood up: "Come with me, I have something to say to you."

Su Jinyan seemed to be thinking. Just as he had thought, Yu Kong had come to stand up for Ting Yun.

Upon arriving at the conference room, Yu Kong cut to the chase and asked, "I heard that you married Huo Huo last night?"

Su Jinyan nodded slightly: "It seems Tingyun has told you everything?"

"Is she here hoping you can stand up for her...?"

"Lord Yukong, I have always respected you as a kind elder. I received a lot of help from you when I was still struggling to make a name for myself."

"If you want to avenge Tingyun, I'll accept any punishment."

Yu Kong shook his head slightly: "Punishment? If I dared to punish you, not to mention Jing Liu and Fu Xuan, even Ting Yun would be angry with me."

"I have something important to discuss with you..."

"You proposed to Fu Xuan and all of them last night, but no one said yes, right?"

Su Jinyan disagreed: "Perhaps it's because he's too greedy."

“I want them all, and it’s impossible for me to give them up.”

Yu Kong, that old fox, finally revealed her true colors.

"I have a brilliant plan that can thoroughly dampen the arrogance of Jing Liu and Fu Xuan. Would you like to hear it?"

Su Jinyan seemed to have guessed something: "Please speak."

Yu Kong smiled gently: "Send out wedding invitations widely, inviting relatives and friends to attend your wedding with Ting Yun."

"Once you marry Tingyun, the other women will definitely compromise."

Su Jinyan politely declined, saying, "I don't think it's quite appropriate."

"That seems a bit unfair to Master and Sister Jingliu, don't you think?"

Yu Kong's beautiful eyes sharpened as she leaned forward: "Little guy, I'm giving you a chance."
