Chapter 201: The Spirit Pagoda’s Test and Refusal

Ning Rongrong did not know the reason, but she still listened very obediently to her father’s words.

After Ning Rongrong left, Ning Huasang spoke again.

"How about we talk about the reward you obtained this time, the spirit beast with the highest grade among all participants?"

"Thank you, Pagoda Master."

"You are welcome. I have specially prepared the best reward for you this time. Come with me."

Ye Shiyuan did not sense anything unusual and silently followed Ning Huasang.

He then entered Ning Huasang’s study.

The room was very tidy.

Aside from some books, there did not seem to be anything else.

After waiting for a while, he still did not see the reward Ning Huasang had mentioned.

Ye Shiyuan was also a little worried about Bai He’s situation and could not help but speak.

"Pagoda Master, regarding the reward, can I receive it now? If there are any difficulties, then it is fine to cancel it."

"Are you in a hurry?"

"Yes."

Ning Huasang, however, did not seem to care.

"No need to rush. It will come soon."

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the study door was finally opened again.

The person who entered was indeed Ning Rongrong.

She was wearing a light yellow dress, youthful and beautiful.

She looks completely different from her usual tomboy appearance.

From her clothing, makeup, and hair accessories, it was obvious that she had been carefully dressed up.

Ning Rongrong proudly glanced at Ye Shiyuan.

Her appearance and looks were both extremely outstanding.

Ye Shiyuan would definitely be amazed.

In fact, Ning Rongrong herself did not know why she was doing this.

It was as if because Ye Shiyuan had defeated her today, she was very unhappy, and wanted to reclaim something from him in another way.

However, there was not a trace of surprise in Ye Shiyuan’s eyes.

He only glanced at her when she entered and then immediately shifted his gaze away.

Ye Shiyuan remembered that Bai He had once told him that he did not like him looking at other people.

Even if Bai He was not here, he still should not look.

"Father, the clothes you bought for me are really beautiful."

"Rong’er is becoming more and more beautiful."

"Father, listen to you. When have I ever not been beautiful?"

Ning Huasang held his daughter’s hand and said, "Rong’er has grown up now. It is time for you to get married."

"Father, I am not getting married."

Ning Rongrong was so frightened that she immediately tried to stop Ning Huasang’s terrifying idea.

But Ning Huasang continued. "My daughter, if she is to marry, she must marry a dragon among men. Ye Shiyuan, what do you think of my daughter?"

Ye Shiyuan was an extremely intelligent person. So, he immediately refused. "Pagoda Master, I already have a someone in my heart. I really cannot marry anyone else."

"You already have a someone you like? It is fine. A man taking multiple wives is nothing unusual. At that time, my daughter can be the main wife and they can be the secondary one."

In this world, there was actually someone who wanted the Lingguang Sect elder to be someone else’s secondary wife.

It had to be said, he really had courage.

One could only imagine what the Lingguang Sect would think if they found out.

Ye Shiyuan frowned.

"With all due respect, the one I admire is not someone Miss Ning can compare to even in the slightest. Whether in identity or appearance, that person is unparalleled in my heart."

Ning Rongrong had originally tried to stop this, but she had hesitated earlier out of curiosity.

She wanted to know what kind of person Ye Shiyuan liked.

She wanted to see whether, when standing in front of her, Ye Shiyuan would feel that the person he once liked was not worth mentioning at all.

In truth, Ning Rongrong did not even reject the idea of marrying Ye Shiyuan.

However, just now, Ye Shiyuan had actually belittled her to nothing.

Was she truly not even comparable to that person in his heart at all?

She did not believe it.

"You say the person you like, who is it? If you want to refuse, just refuse. Why do you have to belittle me like this?"

Ye Shiyuan was not trying to belittle Ning Rongrong.

It was just that Ning Huasang had first belittled Bai He and only then did he lose control for a moment.

"In short, I will not agree to this matter. Farewell."

After saying that, Ye Shiyuan turned around and left.

What a waste of so much time. During all this time, he should have been with Bai He instead.

"It is all because of you."

Ning Rongrong’s eyes turned red.

She was actually a strong girl, but now she could not help but cry.

"Who told you to suggest that I marry him? Now that he has rejected me, how embarrassing is that?"

"If you had not felt even a little favorable toward him, would you have provoked him? Moreover, Ye Shiyuan is the most outstanding young man I have ever seen. If you could marry him, then with my vast Spirit Pagoda, once it is handed to him, no one would dare bully you."

Ning Rongrong retorted, "Father, I can handle things on my own."

"Putting that aside, do you truly not like him at all?"

Ning Rongrong fell silent.

Ye Shiyuan was indeed the most outstanding man she had ever seen.

If she were to marry anyone, the only choice would be Ye Shiyuan.

"Father, I will make him willingly stay with me."

"That is my daughter."

...

Bai He felt that he should leave, but he had not even said goodbye to Ye Shiyuan yet.

Why was he gone for so long and still not back?

"Host, do not worry. Ye Shiyuan’s character is trustworthy. He will not be taken away by some improper woman."

Bai He’s faint unease was indeed because of Ning Rongrong and that Pagoda Master.
