She didn't want to drag other innocent people into this.
Madam Yun said, "How can that be? If there is no engagement, Ji Mingyu might suspect that this is a fake. What's more, the one you are engaged to is your cousin Yue Ze. After you are engaged, your cousin will accompany you to Wuji Sea. He is proficient in talismans, arrays and divination, and he has a god-level master like Ji Weicheng by his side. With him accompanying you, grandma doesn't have to worry about your safety. Or do you think that Yue Ze is not worthy of you?"
"No, but..." Xi Yue was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Yun Tianyi.
"It's settled. Seven days later, Yun Mansion will hold an engagement banquet to confirm your marriage to Yue Ze in advance."
Xi Yue said anxiously: "Dad, don't make the decision on your own. Have you asked Jun Yueze what he thinks?"
Yun Tianyi crossed his arms and said disdainfully: "It is a blessing for him to marry my precious daughter. How dare he have any objection? Or you can ask him yourself?"
Xi Yue turned around in surprise and saw Ji Weicheng pushing Jun Yueze in a wheelchair slowly into the room.
Facing Xi Yue's eyes, Jun Yueze showed a warm and gentle smile and said slowly: "Xi Yue, the engagement is just a temporary measure, and it also allows the Underworld God to truly give up on... the Origin of Wood. From now on, I will have no objection to canceling the engagement at any time. Of course, if you really don't want to, this matter can be dropped."
Xi Yue bit her lower lip and frowned.
Yun Tianyi said: "Yuer, Ji Mingyu, that beast has deceived you to such an extent, are you still reluctant to part with him?"
Xi Yue's heart skipped a beat; her teeth pierced her lips, causing a burning pain.
At this moment, she really felt a kind of despair and loneliness as if her heart was dead and everything had returned to dust.
Xi Yue closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Everything is up to grandma and daddy."
After that, she turned and left without saying anything else.
When they were halfway there, Xi Yue heard a familiar breath approaching from behind.
She turned her head and met Jun Yueze's gentle eyes.
Xi Yue sighed softly and said, "Mr. Jun, my grandmother and father have already given up everything for me, but you don't have to get involved in this mess."
It was a rare occasion that Ji Weicheng was not with Jun Yueze. Xi Yue stood behind him and pushed his wheelchair.
The man's gentle and elegant voice came slowly, "You saved my life, so this little favor is really nothing. But Xiyue, you don't have to feel any burden. The so-called engagement is just a temporary measure. You don't have to regard it as a constraint. If you want to leave in the future, I will never use it to imprison you."
Xi Yue paused for a moment and said softly, "Thank you... cousin."
Arriving at the entrance of Lanyue Pavilion, Jun Yueze had no intention of going in. Instead, he looked up at Xi Yue and said slowly, "My aunt originally wanted me to use the Qiankun displacement formation to send you away from the Siamese continent, away from Ji Mingyu's entanglement. But I did not agree, and instead proposed this method."
Xi Yue was stunned for a moment, and after a while she murmured, "Why?"
Jun Yueze's face was expressionless, leaving only solemnity and seriousness: "Because you are my savior, and the sister I want to protect. In this engagement party, I hope you can see what kind of person Ji Mingyu is and what kind of feelings he has for you. I also hope you can truly see your own heart." (To be continued)
