The Moon Lord, who was in a high position, looked at him with a slightly cold gaze.

"Still trying to struggle?"

The pressure he exerted on him intensified at a visible rate.

Even the solid bricks beneath Ye Yun's feet showed signs of cracking.

Just then, the teasing voice of Nangong Jiutian echoed in Ye Yun's mind.

"Young man, seeing how hard you're working, how about I help you out?"

"No need! I can do it myself!"

Ye Yun gritted his teeth and replied in a deep voice.

After all, he couldn't rely on Nangong's help for everything in the future.

In particular, to gain the approval of the Moon Wheel Saint Lord, he would at least need to struggle on his own!

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian smiled approvingly.

"That's impressive, that shows real backbone, but I wonder how long it will last."

Nangong Jiutian let out a silvery laugh, seemingly quite pleased to see Ye Yun suffer.

It's mainly because Ye Yun usually acts arrogantly and domineeringly, so it's quite interesting to see him get his comeuppance once in a while.

However, Ye Yun's perseverance was indeed a bit beyond her expectations. He didn't ask her for help, but he really did stick to it.

At this moment, Ye Yun was almost completely absorbed in it.

"No matter what, we must hold on!"

Fortunately, his physical condition is now much better than before.

In addition, his cultivation level after the breakthrough has greatly increased the upper limit of what his physical body can withstand.

Time passed slowly, and Ye Yun actually managed to withstand it!

As for why, the answer is the power of love!

The ground beneath its feet was cracked inch by inch, a testament to the immense pressure it was bearing!

And Ye Yun didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Only after the surrounding oppressive aura dissipated did Yue Wumian's voice reach them.

"Your willpower and physique are indeed quite impressive."

As the pressure dissipated, Ye Yun felt a sense of relief throughout his body. He was almost completely soaked in sweat and nearly collapsed.

The intense pressure he had just endured had left him physically exhausted.

However, he didn't criticize the other party, but simply cupped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you for testing me, senior."

"snort……"

Yue Wumian glanced at him and said coldly.

"Stop arguing with me. I know everything about your affair with Ru Shuang."

"Kid, is there anything else you want to say?"

These words sounded as if Ye Yun was giving his last words.

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath and said.

"My encounter with Elder Yue was truly due to an unexpected accident that no one wanted, which is why..."

He wanted to explain, but before he could finish speaking, Yue Wumian interrupted him.

He stared at Ye Yun with a cold expression and spoke slowly.

"The first time was an accident, but all the subsequent times were accidents too, right?"

These words immediately shut Ye Yun up.

It means that since you've already done it, don't try to distance yourself from it.

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"That's right, the reason is that I like Elder Yue, no, I like Ru Shuang."

This kind of thing will have to be brought to light sooner or later.

Yue Wumian snorted coldly at this.

"Do you know that she has been placed under house arrest by me?"

Judging from his tone, he didn't seem to be joking.

It's obvious that they really did that.

Ye Yun frowned slightly and immediately asked.

Why is that?

Why?

Yue Wumian narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice.

"It's not that I'm too reckless, but also that I'm determined to be with you."

"No matter what I say, she won't listen to me now."

It is clear that he must have spoken with Yue Rushuang before this.

However, the conversation didn't go very smoothly.

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and said.

"Senior, I know this makes you very angry, but no matter what, she is innocent."

"If you feel angry, you can direct it at me, but please don't do it to her."

Upon hearing this, Yue Wumian let out a cold laugh.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm taking my anger out on her?"

Sensing his increasingly cold tone, Ye Yun immediately shook his head.

"Of course not. I just wanted to say that one should take responsibility for one's own actions, so please don't be angry with Ru Shuang."

"In fact, apart from the first time, the subsequent times were all initiated by me, and had nothing to do with her."

Ye Yun hadn't originally planned to say this.

The main problem is that I was already in a compromising situation, and saying such things would only add fuel to the fire.

But upon learning of Yue Rushuang's situation, he still spoke up, not for his own sake, but because he didn't want her to be affected by him.

"Hmph, you certainly take good care of her."

Yue Wumian snorted coldly, then looked at him and said indifferently.

"But don't think that you care about Ru Shuang more than I do."

"Boy, do you know why I'm so angry about this?"

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then tentatively asked.

"Um... because they started dual cultivation before they were even engaged?"

After all, many people do care about these things.

In response, Yue Wumian said coldly.

"I am not that pedantic."

Although he has always been known as a doting father to his daughter, he is not that controlling.

He knew very well that his daughter had grown up and that one day she would become a cultivation partner with someone.

For him, as long as he likes her a lot, and she treats him well and has the ability to protect him, that's enough.

Although Ye Yun is not yet capable, he will eventually be able to achieve it.

Clearly, it's not because of that.

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then replied.

"Is that because of...my background?"

After all, everyone knows that he started out as a menial disciple.

Furthermore, before that, he was only an outer disciple at times, along with Yue Rushuang.

The key issue is that the people from the ancient holy land have problems from their very origins.

Yue Wumian glanced at him and said slowly.

"That doesn't matter. I've never cared about these things. Besides, given your talent, I'll tentatively acknowledge it."

"Um, that's because..."

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then quickly guessed the reason.

He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked.

"Is it because of... Xian'er?"

Sure enough, he guessed right this time.

Yue Wumian narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"You're not too stupid, but... you're just too smart."

He looked at Ye Yun with a stern face and said.

"Who do you think you are? You already have an ancient saintess, and you still covet my daughter?"

"Especially, you dare to make my daughter your concubine?"

"Does this person truly believe that I, Ru Shuang, am easy to bully?"

Clearly, these are the root causes of his anger.

What is the name of Yue Wumian? He is the lord of a holy land.

Although Yue Rushuang was not a saintess, she had no intention of inheriting the Moon Wheel Holy Land.

But she was his only daughter, and that alone made her noble enough.

How could she possibly be allowed to become a Daoist partner with a fickle person, let alone be his concubine!

Upon learning the reason, Ye Yun frowned and explained it to him.

"Senior, there's really nothing I can do about this."

"At that time, it was Ru Shuang and Xian'er who bypassed me and made the decision on this matter alone."

"To be honest, even I don't know how they determined this order."

Yue Wumian clearly did not agree with his explanation.

His fingers tapped lightly, his tone still icy and chilling.

Even so, don't you still approve?

"That's...indeed."

Ye Yun nodded and pursed her lips.

"I will always respect their choices, as this is my responsibility to both of them."

The relationship between Hong Xian'er, Yue Rushuang, and him in this matter was rather delicate.

Although he was the one who had physical intimacy with Yue Rushuang due to an accident.

However, it was Hong Xian'er who later confirmed their relationship.

If we really examine it closely, it can be said that both sides have their own reasons.

Caught in the middle, Ye Yun wanted to be responsible to both sides, so she could only leave it to them to negotiate, without favoring either side.

"snort……"

Yue Wumian stared at him coldly and asked.

"I'll just ask you one question."

Ye Yun was taken aback for a moment, then immediately asked.

"What would you like to ask, senior?"

Clearly, the next question is crucial.

If you answer correctly, you might just succeed.

If you answer incorrectly, it's hard to say what will happen.

Immediately, Yue Wumian asked coldly.

"Which of them do you prefer?"

This is indeed a rather pointed question.

However, it does indeed get straight to the heart of the problem.

Ye Yun frowned and pursed his lips.

"Of course, I like them both, half and half."

Yue Wumian was clearly not satisfied with this answer.

In his view, this was pure opportunism.

Therefore, he immediately followed up with a question.

"If you had to choose one, which would you pick?"

That makes things much clearer.

Ultimately, the goal is to force Ye Yun to choose between Yue Rushuang and Hong Xian'er.

If it's the former, then maybe we can still talk.

If it's the latter, I'm afraid they'll be thrown out.

But clearly, these are not the options Ye Yun would choose.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the instructions Hong Xian'er had given him earlier.

Indeed, if at such a time, he were to say some nice things to Yue Wumian and focus on his feelings for Yue Rushuang.

And if he slightly belittles Hong Xian'er during this period, he and Yue Rushuang will most likely get together.

Hong Xian'er would never know what she was saying to the Moon Wheel Saint Lord.

However, he remained silent for a long time before finally taking a deep breath and speaking.

"I won't choose either of them. They are both very important to me, and I can't abandon either of them!"

This answer is undoubtedly wrong, no, it should be said to be even more wrong than wrong, it's no different from courting death.

Even so, my life might be in danger.

But similarly, this will make his mind clear!

Of course, the result was that Yue Wumian was so angry that she laughed.

"So you think you can't abandon anyone? Kid, what makes you think you can?!"

In his view, Ye Yun's willingness to say such things to his face showed that he was truly fearless.

At that moment, Ye Yun spoke in a very serious tone.

"Just because I'm a junior, I can bring them happiness and even help them improve their abilities!"

This answer made Yue Wumian's face darken.

"Give them happiness? Help them improve their abilities? With your abilities?"

In his view, Ye Yun was nothing more than a newly emerging genius.

Although his talent is extraordinary, that is ultimately his own business.

Helping others improve their abilities is not something that can be done casually.

"Yes, me."

At this moment, Ye Yun answered with exceptional firmness and confidence in his eyes.

This scene surprised Yue Wumian, mainly because the other person's eyes didn't seem to be lying at all.

Afterwards, Ye Yun handed out the jade boxes one by one at the opportune moment, saying with a smile.

"To be honest, I almost forgot. I brought a small gift for you when I came to pay my respects, senior."

He presented the jade boxes one by one.

Yue Wumian frowned slightly, glanced at the jade box in front of him, and asked.

"What are these? Pills?"

"That's right! I think you'll definitely like it, senior."

Ye Yun grinned, indicating that he could open it and take a look.

Seeing this, Yue Wumian snorted softly and said indifferently.

"You, boy, have given me the elixir I desire..."

As he spoke, he opened the jade box in his hand one by one, revealing pills of various colors.

In an instant, a rich fragrance of elixir surged forth, filling the entire hall.

For a moment, Yue Wumian's gaze froze.

He picked up one of the most precious pills, examined it in his hand, and seemed somewhat surprised.

"Nine-grade flawless pills? Did that old woman give you all of these?"

He clearly believed that these pills were prepared by the Ancient Dao Saint Master so that Ye Yun could pass the test smoothly.

However, Ye Yun shook his head.

"No, these are all gifts that I, a junior, have personally acquired, specifically to show my respect to my seniors."

He smiled, as if he were only giving away something insignificant.

This answer made Yue Wumian look up at him and frown.

"Where did you, a mere extraordinary cultivator, get so many high-grade pills?"

"Naturally... I asked a senior for it."

Ye Yun smiled faintly and said confidently.

"If needed, I can ask him for even more in the future!"

"Including some magical treasures, that senior also has no shortage of them, which I think the senior has heard about as well."

Yue Wumian had indeed heard of this; Ye Yun had displayed a considerable number of magical treasures on the last True Inheritance Arena alone.

At the time, I thought it was a magical treasure prepared for him by the ancient holy land, which had emptied its coffers.

So it seems he brought it on himself...

Yue Rushuang's brows twitched slightly as she slowly asked.

"The senior you're talking about, which mysterious Nangong are you referring to?"

"That's right, it's Senior Nangong!"

Ye Yun smiled faintly, looking confident.

Looking at the pills in front of him, Yue Wumian frowned slightly.

He then closed the box completely and looked at Ye Yun coldly.

"You don't actually think I'd be willing to give my daughter away just because of these pills, do you?"

"Of course not! I am well aware of your concern for Ru Shuang!"

Ye Yun smiled modestly, then changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, I also obtained a secret technique when I went out to train earlier."

"Although it's not of much use to a junior like me, I thought you might need it, so I thought I'd give it to you to take a look."

Clearly, he believes that reasoning with people is useless and plans to use a gift-giving offensive.

Ye Yun's words did indeed attract Yue Wumian's attention.

"Secret technique? What secret technique?"

Immediately, Ye Yun reached out and took out a jade slip that had been prepared in advance.

"You'll understand once you see it, senior."

Ye Yun handed over the jade slip, which contained the secret technique to fully awaken the Nine-Tailed Moon Fox.

At first, Yue Wumian didn't think much of it and just casually took it.

He was still humming softly to himself.

"Kid, don't think you can just pick up a secret technique anywhere..."

But before he could finish speaking, the expression on his face changed several times.

His previously frivolous expression turned serious at a visible speed.

After looking at everything from top to bottom, he looked at Ye Yun with a surprised expression and asked.

"Where did you get this secret technique?"

Ye Yun had already prepared an explanation, so he smiled and explained.

"Reporting to senior, this is what I obtained when I killed a heretical cultivator from the Ascension Sect in Fengbo City."

"The method for the complete awakening of the Nine-Tailed Moon Fox recorded above reminds me of Senior Ah Yin from your Holy Land."

"Thinking that this secret method might be of some help to her, I came here specifically to present it to you, senior."

After he finished speaking, he respectfully bowed.

Upon hearing this, Yue Wumian frowned.

To be honest, he was skeptical of Ye Yun's explanation.

However, it cannot be denied that the authenticity of this secret method is indeed very high.

As Nangong Jiutian said, all these years, in order to raise the nine-tailed moon fox Ayin.

The Moon Wheel Holy Land and even he himself devoted tremendous effort to it.

After all, this is a chance for the Holy Land to have another Emperor-level expert, and a top-tier Emperor-level expert at that!

However, the process of helping it grow is very long, after all, the growth period of a mystical beast can easily take hundreds or thousands of years!

Furthermore, since he has not fully awakened, the possibility of advancing to the Emperor rank is relatively small, and there is a possibility that his efforts will be in vain.

However, if it is possible to help them fully awaken, the success rate will increase significantly.

The key is the growth rate, which will also be greatly improved!

For the Moon Wheel Holy Land at present, this is like a pillow being delivered when one is sleepy!

"..."

Even though Yue Wumian couldn't say for sure, the gift from the other party was of little use.

He remained silent for a long time before slowly saying something.

"Kid, this secret technique is indeed useful to the Moon Wheel Holy Land; it's been a great help."

He hesitated for a long time, and in the end, he only managed to utter this one sentence.

After all, he had just been reprimanded, and now that he saw the treasure, he changed his attitude. He really didn't have that kind of thick skin.

Ye Yun noticed his hesitation and immediately asked him a question.

"So... does this mean you approve, senior?"

"You wish!"

Yue Wumian glanced at him and said indifferently.

"One thing at a time. You have indeed done a great favor for my Moon Wheel Holy Land, and we will naturally repay you in the future."

"But that doesn't mean I'm willing to push my daughter into a fire pit and let you, you brat, get away with it!"

Hearing this, Ye Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although the other party still disagreed, at least the previous murderous atmosphere was gone.

"Alright, then this junior..."

Just as Ye Yun was about to speak, he suddenly remembered that there was something else he hadn't done.

Previously, Hong Xian'er had given her something back.

He immediately took it out and handed it to the Holy Lord of the Moon Wheel.

"By the way, our Holy Lord has asked me to give you a letter."

"Hmm? That old woman's letter?"

Upon seeing the golden envelope he handed over, the Moon Wheel Saint Lord paused for a moment before raising his hand to take it.

Afterward, he easily opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

The Holy Lord of the Moon Wheel held the letter and read its contents, his expression constantly shifting.

This made Ye Yun nervous and curious about what the Holy Lord had written on it.

Could it really be something like, "either go back yourself or she comes over"?

After a while, the Moon Wheel Saint Lord seemed to have finished reading, and his expression was somewhat strange.

The letter in his hand also turned to ashes and scattered.

At this point, the Moon Wheel Saint Lord lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Yun, his expression uncertain.

It seems like they're struggling with something.

"Senior, is there a problem?"

Ye Yun asked cautiously.

Unexpectedly, the Moon Wheel Saint Lord took a deep breath and slowly said something to him.

"Boy, I can give you a chance."
