Cang Yue quickly shook her head, denying it.

"I've only met Young Master Ye a few times, how could I possibly harbor feelings for him!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun's lips curled up slightly as he looked at her with amusement.

"Really? Then why are you so nervous, Miss Cangyue?"

"I... I just... didn't expect Fellow Daoist Nangong to guess that way."

Cang Yue tried to explain, but she was truly powerless.

This attempt to cover up the truth only makes it more noticeable.

As if to avoid arousing suspicion, Cang Yue cleared her throat, trying to end the topic.

"Um... I have other things to attend to, so I won't disturb Fellow Daoist Nangong's cultivation any longer!"

After saying that, she waved to Ye Yun and left as fast as she could.

Watching her departing figure, Ye Yun shook his head helplessly.

"Could this little girl have actually fallen for me?"

I just don't know if "like" is a noun, or...

Before long, Ye Yun suppressed his curiosity and entered a meditative state in his room.

Azure didn't arrive until nightfall.

And just like last time, I prepared a variety of delicious foods to entertain them.

At Ye Yun's residence, Cang Lan raised a glass to him on the table laden with food.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, I'm truly sorry. I promised to keep you company today, but I only just found the time. I'll punish myself with a cup of wine!"

"It's alright, we've arrived at just the right time."

Ye Yun smiled faintly and then asked a question.

"As for Miss Azure, what brings your father here?"

Since he had never met him before, he was still quite curious about the Azure Dragon Emperor.

Upon hearing this, Canglan pondered for a moment and then smiled.

"It's nothing much, just a briefing on court affairs and how to handle the Ascension Sect matter."

"Don't let my busy schedule during the day fool you; in many matters, only Father Emperor has the authority to make the final decision."

It makes sense, really. As the eldest princess, if she were to wield excessive power, the Azure Dragon Emperor might become suspicious.

"Okay, it's alright as long as it's nothing serious."

Ye Yun nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and asked a question.

"Then, when will I have the opportunity to meet your father, the Emperor?"

"You've come twice already, and I still haven't paid you a visit. Don't let people think I don't know basic manners."

Of course, there is another reason.

He's already taken two big cabbages from someone else's house; it wouldn't be right for him not to even acknowledge them.

Canglan pondered for a moment before responding.

"That might be a bit difficult. My father is in poor health and he only sees people when he summons them."

"Besides that, it's almost impossible for others to take the initiative to pay an audience."

She looked troubled.

Seeing this, Ye Yun smiled faintly and waved his hand.

"It's alright. I was just mentioning it casually. I'm not really insisting on it. If we don't meet, then so be it."

Upon hearing this, Canglan nodded, raised his glass, and smiled.

"Thank you for your understanding, Fellow Daoist Nangong!"

After that, she seemed to remember something and asked a question.

"By the way, there's something I've been really bothered about lately."

"Oh? What is it?"

Ye Yun looked curious.

Then, after carefully considering her words, Canglan asked.

"May I ask, senior, what exactly is your relationship with that young master Ye?"

She had thought about this question for a long time. Although Ye Yun said they were half master and half disciple, it was still a bit too vague.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun was taken aback, not expecting her to ask this.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled faintly and said frankly.

"He and I... are as close as one person, we don't need to be each other."

This answer surprised Cang Lan.

It seemed they hadn't expected the other person to respond so warmly.

It seems that the relationship between the two is indeed extraordinary.

Canglan nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

"I understand now."

Judging from the princess's appearance, Ye Yun could tell that she must be from Dihua.

However, he didn't explain, and even thought it would be better if the other party misunderstood.

Just then, Canglan changed the subject and asked.

"In that case, I do have some good news to share, and I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Nangong for his opinion."

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback, then looked at her with great interest and asked.

"Good news? Tell me about it."

A slight smile appeared on Cang Lan's lips.

"Actually, it's nothing much. I just want to arrange a marriage for Young Master Ye."

"Hmm? You mean...?"

Ye Yun was taken aback, vaguely guessing what was going on.

Sure enough, Canglan then revealed his purpose, which was exactly what he had expected.

"I have a younger sister named Cangyue. I imagine Fellow Daoist Nangong has met her a few times."

"What do you think about letting her marry Young Master Ye?"

Finally, she added one more sentence.

"Of course, even if she's not his principal wife, she can still be his concubine."

"If this can be achieved, we can trust each other more and have a deeper connection."

"What is Fellow Daoist Nangong's opinion on this matter? Could you possibly help persuade Young Master Ye?"

Ye Yun finally understood and raised an eyebrow.

"I understand, Miss Azure. They want me to act as their mediator."

Judging from this, she probably felt that his attitude last time was ambiguous.

So I might as well mention it to 'Senior Nangong' who is related to him.

If we can reach an agreement, and help persuade them, perhaps it will work out...

On this point, Canglan didn't hide anything and laughed frankly.

"I suppose so, but if it really succeeds, wouldn't that be a good thing for us, and even for both continents?"

Ye Yun initially considered refusing, but then she thought about Xian'er and Ru Shuang's instructions.

After a moment's thought, he gave a faint smile.

"If it were just to be a concubine, I imagine he wouldn't refuse, given his circumstances."

"Of course, this is on the premise that Miss Cangyue truly loves him and willingly becomes his concubine, rather than being forced into it."

He still needs to make this point clear.

To prevent Canglan from using underhanded tactics to force Cangyue to marry him as a concubine for his own benefit.

In that case, neither Cang Yue himself nor his mother could have a clear understanding of his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Cang Lan smiled slightly.

"Of course, Xiaoyue and I are family, how could I force her to get married?"

"I hope so..."

That's what Ye Yun said, but he still had some doubts in his heart.

There's a saying: "The most ruthless are those in the imperial family."

Perhaps influenced by deep-rooted beliefs, he felt that the struggle for the crown prince position had always been like this!

Azure seemed to sense his distrust and explained with a smile.

"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Nangong may not know this."

"My younger sister, Xiaoyue, has always been somewhat attracted to Young Master Ye, so there's no need to force her."

These words made Ye Yun's expression somewhat strange.

"Miss Cangyue likes Ye Yun? Is that true?"

Cang Lan nodded slightly and said affirmatively.

"It's almost certainly true. Although I don't know how the two of them met, Xiaoyue does have a good impression of him."

These words also corroborated Ye Yun's earlier guess.

It seems that it wasn't one of the three great illusions of my life; Cang Yue did indeed have feelings for him.

But at this moment, Ye Yun remained calm and smiled.

"If that's the case, then if it can be accomplished, it would indeed be a good thing."

Ye Yun's thought was that if Cang Yue was truly willing, she would only be one of his concubines.

He would accept it and take good care of it, ensuring it wouldn't be affected by the power struggles within the Azure Dragon royal family.

In this way, his mother, Consort Qing, can be said to have received some closure...

Finally, Ye Yun took a deep breath and said to Cang Lan.

"Alright! Once I see that kid, I'll definitely persuade him!"

This time, I finally convinced myself.

Azure was unaware of the situation and was still very grateful to him.

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Nangong!"

Seeing this, Ye Yun was puzzled.

Who knows, maybe his identity will become too obvious to hide and be exposed in the future.

Imagine how the other person would feel if they knew that I was Ye Yun…

The two chatted and ate, occasionally having a drink; the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Although with their cultivation levels, they were already able to survive without eating, relying solely on absorbing and exhaling profound energy.

But generally, like ordinary people, they will continue to eat to strengthen their relationship, which can be considered as retaining their human nature.

After the banquet ended, Cang Lan glanced at Ye Yun and pursed her lips.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, would you like to come to my palace for a seat and have a cup of tea?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun smiled faintly and nodded.

"Of course, how could I refuse the princess's invitation?"

He followed Cang Lan out of the guest room and went to her bedroom, where there were no maids guarding the door.

Cang Lan led Ye Yun straight inside and casually locked the door behind them.

Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to break into her bedroom at night without knocking.

But having an extra layer of insurance is never a bad thing.

Otherwise, if people saw him and Ye Yun alone together in the palace late at night, it would be a bad omen.

It's hard not to suspect that something's going on between them.

Although, this seems to be the truth...

"What kind of tea would Fellow Daoist Nangong like to drink?"

Cang Lan, sitting at the tea table, glanced at Ye Yun and asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun casually sat down beside him and replied.

"Anything is fine."

Cang Lan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she smiled gently.

"Excuse me, I don't have tea here called 'whatever'."

"..."

Ye Yun was both amused and exasperated by the other person's sudden playful remark.

He had no choice but to say it offhand.

Just pick one you like.

"Can."

Cang Lan smiled gently, then knelt down in front of the table and slowly began to brew tea.

Under the still night sky, a few candles in the palace emitted a warm yellow glow.

Under this warm and bright glow, the atmosphere between Ye Yun and Cang Lan at the tea table gradually became somewhat ambiguous.

Canglan didn't seem to care and continued brewing tea with dignified manners.

Perhaps it was because of the lighting, but from Ye Yun's perspective, Cang Lan appeared noble and elegant.

At least on the surface, she seemed like a born empress.

In addition, her attire was also quite suggestive.

The gold thread on her long dress shimmered in the candlelight, outlining the graceful curves of her body.

Through the glimpses of her figure, one could see her two fair, jade-like legs crossed, making one want to look upwards.

Before long, Cang Lan had brewed the tea. She first poured a cup for Ye Yun and handed it to him.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, please."

Thank you.

Ye Yun snapped out of her reverie, smiled and responded, then took the teacup she offered.

The freshly brewed tea, still steaming, filled the room with its aroma.

The smell of food on the two of them was quickly washed away by the aroma of tea, which is why a pot of tea was brewed.

Ye Yun took a small sip, savoring the aroma of the tea in her mouth, and nodded in approval.

"Excellent! Both the tea leaves and the brewing technique are top-notch."

Upon hearing this, Canglan also picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and smiled.

"Back in the past, my father specially hired someone to teach me in order to cultivate my ladylike qualities."

"I'm thinking that when I get married, I'll be able to better serve my husband, so that I won't be so bad at not even knowing how to make tea."

"Perhaps that's why I didn't really like tea before, and I especially didn't like brewing tea."

Hearing this, Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Indeed, it's easy to develop a dislike for something when you're forced to learn it."

This is similar to some families forcing their children to learn a certain skill.

Even those with exceptional talent can easily be driven to dislike a particular skill.

But he also found it difficult to comment on matters concerning the imperial family.

However, at this moment, Canglan took another sip of tea and chuckled softly.

"However, as I grew older and became more familiar with tea, I came to enjoy brewing and drinking it."

"Amidst all the busyness, this is a good opportunity to calm down and relax."

"So sometimes, I'm quite grateful to my father for instilling this habit in me from a young age."

At this point, Canglan seemed to have touched on some emotion, and shook her head with a soft sigh.

"Therefore, my opinion of my father is sometimes in a state of flux."

"I don't know how I should feel about her..."

When it came to the end...

The usual assertiveness and aloofness had faded from her face.

Instead, a hint of struggle and hesitation appeared on his face.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun shrugged.

"I cannot give you an answer to this matter; only you can find the answer yourself."

He rarely comments on or gets involved in other people's family affairs.

At this moment, Azure seemed to realize something as well.

The struggle and hesitation on her face quickly disappeared.

Instead, it's back to its usual state.

She smiled gently at Ye Yun and said modestly.

"I'm truly sorry, I said some irrelevant things just now. I hope Fellow Daoist Nangong will forgive me."

Although they had talked a lot and practiced dual cultivation several times, and had a deep understanding of each other.

But to say we had a real heart-to-heart talk, we never actually did.

Ye Yun put down his teacup, glanced at her, and smiled faintly.

"It's alright, I understand Miss Azure's feelings."

"Being born into an imperial family may seem glamorous and prestigious to others, but they don't know that you have to bear many shackles."

"Whether it's one's own likes and dislikes, or fate, it's all completely beyond one's control; one can only passively accept it."

Perhaps it was Cang Lan's experience that made him feel somewhat sentimental.

These words seemed to touch Cang Lan's heart, and the latter couldn't help but purse his lips.

"Yeah...yes."

Cang Lan nodded slightly, her gaze falling on the tea leaves floating in the water of the teacup.

"Many times, neither I nor they have a choice..."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room turned several degrees colder.

After a long pause, Cang Lan looked up, took a deep breath, and said apologetically.

"Sorry, I just..."

"It's nothing, it's just human nature."

Ye Yun waved his hand and then handed over a teacup.

"Another one, please."

Seeing this, Canglan glanced at him and said strangely.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, you really came here for tea?"

Ye Yun has drunk four or five cups of tea since then.

Even the teapot in her hand was almost completely drunk by the other party.

Even Azure was considering whether to add more water.

This sarcastic remark made Ye Yun a little embarrassed, but he still said it calmly.

"I was a little thirsty after eating, isn't it normal to drink more?"

"Yes, yes, that's normal."

Azure nodded and poured him another glass.

He was thinking to himself, "Keep pretending, let's see how long you can keep up this act."

Fortunately, Ye Yun did not disappoint her.

After finishing his drink, the other person looked at her with a smile.

"Alright, that's about right."

I wasn't just pretending; I really was thirsty.

Cang Lan shook the empty teapot and reluctantly put it down.

As soon as he turned his head, his gaze met Ye Yun's.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong..."

She paused for a moment, seemingly waiting for Ye Yun's next move.

Seeing this, Ye Yun got up and sat down next to Cang Lan, looking at her in the same way.

The two locked eyes, Ye Yun's gaze filled with a hint of greed.

The azure before me held a faint, almost imperceptible anticipation and shyness.

After a long pause, she pursed her lips and softly uttered three words.

"Give it to me."

These words, like a spark, ignited the dry tinder.

Ye Yun didn't stand on ceremony at all and reached out to hug her...

……

……

……

An hour and a half later.

Congratulations on gaining 2000 Creation Points!

After it's over.

The two of them had moved from the ground to a nearby bed.

The sheets and blankets on the bed were all in disarray, as if telling the story of what had happened.

Both of them are currently resting.

Cang Lan lay flat on the bed, her body covered in fragrant sweat, and her breathing was still a little rapid.

She rested her head on Ye Yun's arm, her face flushed and shy as she looked at the person in front of her.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, are you satisfied with this?"

This question made Ye Yun raise an eyebrow and ask a question in return.

"What? Is Miss Azure still hungry?"

The reason it ended earlier was because Azure kept begging for mercy.

Although he didn't care for Canglan as much as he did for Xian'er and Rushuang, he didn't deliberately mistreat her either.

I will at least consider the other person's feelings, and if it really doesn't work out, I will end it.

After the event, the other party asked him this question, which inevitably made Ye Yun feel that he had been mocked.

"If Miss Azure still wishes to come, I'm happy to oblige!"

Upon hearing this, her pale blue face changed slightly, and she quickly rejected the idea.

"No, no need!"

She looked at Ye Yun and quickly tried to explain.

"I'm just worried that Fellow Daoist Nangong might wrong himself for my sake."

After all, he had received help from the other party time and time again, but apart from his body, he had not given anything substantial in return.

That's why she hopes the other person can have a good time with her.

Only in this way can it be considered a fair trade for Azure!

"Don't worry, I never do anything to wrong myself. I've certainly had my fill this time."

Ye Yun glanced at her and smiled faintly.

"But then again, Miss Azure seems to have enjoyed it quite a bit this time."

At least Ye Yun has now been with many women.

He could still tell whether the other party was genuinely enjoying it or simply going along with him.

Like before, the ratio of azure to blue on this was six to four.

So this time, the opponent's score is almost nine to one, or even ten to zero.

Upon hearing this, Cang Lan exchanged a glance with him and said somewhat shyly.

"I've just gradually come to find that doing this kind of thing with Fellow Daoist Nangong is very stress-relieving, and I don't need to think about anything during the process."

Ye Yun found this answer amusing.

He smiled slightly and said.

"In that case, if there's a chance in the future, Miss Azure can come and relax with me more often."

"That won't do."

Cang Lan immediately shook her head and pursed her lips.

"I still have a lot of things to do normally, so I can't always immerse myself in this kind of thing."

"Well, that's a shame."

Ye Yun sighed, seemingly a little disappointed.

"but……"

Just then, Canglan changed the subject and said softly.

"If I have more free time, I might consider it."

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"That's a deal."

"Um……"

Azure nodded as well, looking somewhat shy.

As someone who needs to be constantly on edge when interacting with others.

Azure rarely has the opportunity to completely let down its guard and stop thinking about anything.

Even when she was sleeping in her palace, she would suspect that someone was watching her.

Despite knowing it was unlikely, her ingrained caution and prudence made her do it unconsciously.

However, when practicing dual cultivation with this Senior Nangong, one will involuntarily let go of everything and empty oneself.

This was undoubtedly a rare experience for her...

After resting for a while.

Ye Yun glanced at Cang Lan, then sat up and said.

"Miss Azure, now that it's all over, shall I go back and rest?"

Although they had sex a few times, they usually left afterward and went to sleep in their own rooms.

But this time was different. Just as he was about to leave, Cang Lan gently pulled him back.

"Wait a moment, Fellow Daoist Nangong."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun paused for a moment and asked.

"Is there anything else?"

"It's so late, you shouldn't go back now."

Cang Lan looked at him, her face still slightly flushed, perhaps from shyness.

This action surprised Ye Yun.

However, since it was the other party who took the initiative to invite him, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Since Miss Azure says so, then I will stay here and keep you company."

Ye Yun smiled faintly and lay down to sleep next to him again.

The two of them shared a small pillow, forcing them to sit very close to each other.

"Isn't this a bit too crowded?"

"It's okay, it's better this way."

Cang Lan pursed her lips, gently embraced Ye Yun, and fell asleep.

Actually, there were originally two pillows on the bed, but one of them got dirty when she was put under her.

However, it is precisely because of this that they can now share a bed and be very close to each other...

……

For Ye Yun, this night was undoubtedly a wonderful one.

After all, he was once again being served by the Imperial Princess, and even subtly trying to conquer her.
