Seeing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, then looked at Shangguan Yun and said, "We all know about your pursuit of Yunlan, and there's no need to hide it, but Yunlan has no good feelings for you."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian pointed to the small porcelain bottle and continued, "A forcefully twisted melon is not sweet. If I exchange this elixir for your abandonment of Yunlan, are you willing?"
"This..."
Xu Shian was instantly dumbfounded. He knew that Ye Cangtian wanted to match Shangguan Yun and Yunlan. It was precisely because of this that he couldn't understand what Ye Cangtian was up to.
Yunlan, who heard this, revealed a faint smile on her face.
Did the outcome need to be explained?
Shangguan Yun would definitely choose the Dao Comprehension Pill, after all, men valued strength greatly.
Thinking of this, Yunlan felt a sense of relief. This was good, saving her from Shangguan Yun's persistent pestering.
"No trade!"
A firm voice came, and Shangguan Yun refused without the slightest hesitation, stunning Yunlan on the spot.
"This Dao Comprehension Pill is not comparable to the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. After taking it, your breakthrough to the Earthly Realm is not a problem!"
"Once you reach the Earthly Realm, you will have more choices and it will be easier to find a partner."
"So you should choose carefully!"
Ye Cangtian's eyes showed approval. It was not every man who could resist such temptation, and his efforts were not in vain.
"No trade! She is irreplaceable in my heart!"
The same answer blurted out again. Yunlan finally came back to her senses, her gaze drawn to Shangguan Yun.
The two unhesitating answers, like heavy hammers, fell into her heart, shattering the layers of ice.
At this moment, she was truly touched by Shangguan Yun.
As Ye Cangtian had said, if he took the Dao Comprehension Pill, Shangguan Yun's future development would be limitless, and he could choose a woman infinitely more outstanding than her as a companion.
However, Shangguan Yun had refused without hesitation. This was certainly not because she was outstanding, but because she was irreplaceable...
Which woman wouldn't want to be the unique existence in a man's heart!
"Heh, is it worth it?"
"Compared to Yunlan, this Dao Comprehension Pill is more practical!"
Ye Cangtian quietly observed everything on the scene.
Seeing Yunlan's gaze fixed on Shangguan Yun, he immediately understood that Yunlan was somewhat moved, so he quickly added fuel to the fire.
"It's worth it, no matter what, it's worth it, even if she still hates me in the future..."
Shangguan Yun still answered without hesitation. However, this time, before he could finish speaking, an angry voice came.
"Are you crazy!"
"I don't have the slightest good impression of you! Even if you choose like this, I won't be moved, and nothing will change!"
"You might as well choose that Dao Comprehension Pill!"
Yunlan suddenly stood up, pointed angrily at Shangguan Yun, and roared.
That was the Dao Comprehension Pill!
Let alone the Dao Comprehension Pill, even the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir was a peerless treasure, something that countless experts would fight to the death for.
She gritted her teeth, no longer caring about Ye Cangtian present, and turned to leave.
Seeing this scene.
Even Xu Shian was dumbfounded. He thought Yunlan would be moved, but she was directly angered away...
And Shangguan Yun, with a bitter expression, seemed to have expected such a result with his excessive confession.
"Are you truly foolish, or just pretending to be?"
"Don't you know that women often say the opposite of what they mean?"
Seeing Shangguan Yun sitting there like a wooden statue, Ye Cangtian glared at him and said irritably.
He had seen that Yunlan was touched, but Shangguan Yun hadn't, truly a blockhead.
"Ah?"
Shangguan Yun was stunned by his words.
"Given Yunlan's attitude towards you, if she wasn't touched at all, she absolutely wouldn't bother with you!"
"Now she's actually angry with you, don't you understand?"
Ye Cangtian glared fiercely at Shangguan Yun and continued, "Why aren't you chasing her! If you miss this village, you won't find this inn!"
Hearing this, Xu Shian nodded in agreement, "Mm-hmm, Big Brother is right."
"Uh... I'm going now, thank you, Big Brother..."
Listening to the words of the two brothers, Shangguan Yun's mind was suddenly enlightened. He understood everything and without a word, he bolted out of the room.
"Heh heh, Big Brother, you're still the best!"
Xu Shian looked at Shangguan Yun's receding back and gave Ye Cangtian a thumbs-up.
"I hope he can seize the opportunity!"
Ye Cangtian smiled wryly. This was his last resort.
If Yunlan hadn't been moved just now, he would have been helpless.
And he would never mention this matter again afterwards.
However, it seemed that the result was good.
Even if Yunlan wouldn't be with Shangguan Yun immediately, at least her impression of Shangguan Yun had greatly improved, and Shangguan Yun would have a chance in the future.
Hearing this, Xu Shian asked again, "Big Brother, if Second Brother had really chosen the Dao Comprehension Pill just now, would you really have given it to him?"
"Yes!"
Ye Cangtian replied without hesitation, then after a slight pause, he continued, "But if that were the case, he would have disappointed me greatly, and I would never interfere in such matters again."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian glanced at Xu Shian and then said, "What about you? Do you want this Dao Comprehension Pill?"
"Uh..."
Xu Shian was stunned and shook his head with a bitter smile, "I've thought about it, but I know that using the Dao Comprehension Pill on me would be a pure waste..."
"I am very pleased that you can think this way!"
Ye Cangtian looked at Xu Shian with satisfaction. As the Guangming Hall rose strongly, the experts in China were clearly insufficient.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian had planned to use this Dao Comprehension Pill to create another expert, which would somewhat alleviate the pressure on China.
However, he had not yet found a suitable candidate.
This was also why, if Shangguan Yun had chosen the Dao Comprehension Pill earlier, he would have been very disappointed.
It would have meant that Shangguan Yun did not truly value Yunlan, and also that he did not understand the bigger picture.
"Haha, when have I ever disappointed you!"
On the other side, hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Xu Shian burst into laughter, then raised his wine glass and drank with Ye Cangtian.
...
The next day.
A ringtone sounded, and Ye Cangtian opened his blurry eyes, picking up his phone.
Seeing that it displayed Shangguan Yun's number, he answered the call.
"Big Brother, I love you to death..."
The moment the call was connected, an extremely excited voice came from the receiver.
With just one sentence, Ye Cangtian felt a chill, and he was completely awake.
"Stop it, my sexual orientation is very normal!"
Although he said that, Ye Cangtian smiled in his heart. Shangguan Yun's excitement suggested a good outcome last night.
Indeed, after some banter, Shangguan Yun excitedly recounted everything.
Nothing had happened between him and Yunlan last night.
When he caught up with Yunlan, he wanted to explain his previous actions, but Yunlan stopped him and only asked him to escort her home.
It was during this escort that Shangguan Yun saw hope.
Yunlan didn't say much, but she didn't completely ignore him like before, and they could have some normal conversations.
And in the end, when he sent Yunlan home, Shangguan Yun tried to ask her out, but to his surprise, she agreed immediately.
This made Shangguan Yun completely excited, feeling like his hard work had finally paid off...
"Alas!"
Hearing about last night, Ye Cangtian sighed helplessly and said, "You really are a blockhead! The fact that she asked you to escort her home proves that she is willing to give you a chance, and even prepared for something to happen..."
"Uh..."
Shangguan Yun was stunned by this and then said, "Big Brother, do you mean I should have asked if I could go up for a cup of tea? Instead of asking for another meeting?"
"Nonsense! You've finally opened your eyes!" Ye Cangtian said irritably.
"Uh..."
Shangguan Yun was speechless. To be honest, he hadn't thought about it that way, and he truly regretted missing the opportunity for further interaction.
"Alright, this is all I can help you with."
"Whether you can win her heart in the future depends on your own efforts."
As Ye Cangtian spoke, his phone vibrated again, indicating another incoming call.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian excused himself to Shangguan Yun and hung up the phone.
The next moment, Lan Yue's call came through again.
