Fen Juecheng paused, and then smiled even more casually: “If the person who wants the Burning Soul Flower is my clan’s inner member who urgently needs this Burning Soul Flower, with the addition of me, the future Clan Master’s personal plea, I believe that my father and elders would not be that stubborn and inflexible; they would most certainly be accommodating.”
While Fen Juecheng’s words sounded gentle and reserved, they actually contained a trace of open coercement. To let an outsider become an inner clan member would either mean that they have to become a disciple or possibly marry into the Burning Heaven Clan.
Cang Yue’s erect chest slightly rose and fell. However, she slowly shook her head afterwards: “Since the Burning Soul Flower is that precious to your honorable clan, then Cang Yue shall not make such an unreasonable request. I thank Young Master Fen for his information, farewell.”
Can Yue’s straightforward and firm reaction was outside of Fen Juecheng’s expectations. His expression stiffened, and he watched Cang Yue’s departing figure as his brows also slowly sunk.
“My sister’s temperament is still as tough as ever.” Cang Shuo said as he faced Fen Juecheng. His words and action actually carried a hint of respect.
“It’s tougher than before. When she previously declined, at least she was being tactful, but now, she’s so unyielding that it seems as if she’s telling me to stop having any delusions.” Fen Juecheng appeared to mock himself as he laughed resentfully.
“Young Master Fen does not need to be so pessimistic,” promptly consoled Cang Shuo, “With Young Master Fen’s strength, appearance, and identity, how could any of Blue Wind Empire’s young talents compare to you? Cang Yue is still young right now, so she does not notice some things. I believe that it won’t be long before she takes the initiative to throw herself at Young Master Fen without you even needing to woo her.” After speaking to here, Cang Shuo hesitated, but then continued: “I might know a bit behind the reason why Cang Yue has suddenly become this resolute.”
“Oh?” Fen Juecheng shifted his gaze.
Cang Shuo continued: “From the information that I’ve obtained, not only has Cang Yue been searching everywhere for the Burning Soul Flower these days, she is also searching for a person as well; a person she had personally came back with from New Moon Profound Palace. It has been reported that she and the person were extremely close those couple of months before she brought him here… But rest assured Young Master Fen, this person has already disappeared five months ago; he seems to have overestimated himself, entered the Wasteland of Death, and never came back out. After his disappearance, I’ve heard from the palace maids by Cang Yue’s side that she countlessly wept and could not eat in peace…”
“What is that person’s name!”
“Yun Che… he’s still young, and is only seventeen this year. However, his innate talent was out of the ordinary so both Cang Lin and I attempted to pull him into our factions.”
