Chapter 685 [Listen to the Phoenix 21]
On the other side, Youyou, Zuo Qingyuan and others rushed back to the Biluo Palace without stopping. As soon as they stepped into the palace gate, Youyou couldn't wait to grab Xuanyi and hurriedly walked towards where the palace master was. Along the way, the two were silent, but their hearts were full of tension and expectation.
Finally arriving in front of the Palace Master's Palace, Youyou took a deep breath, gently pushed open the palace door, and walked in with Xuanyi. The palace was elegantly decorated, with exquisite calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. In the center was a carved sandalwood chair, on which sat a woman with an elegant temperament and dignified manners. She was the Palace Master of Biluo Palace.
When Xuan Yi saw the Palace Master, he quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully and said, "Xuan Yi greets the Palace Master of Biluo Palace!" His voice was loud and clear, revealing his inner awe.
The Palace Master of Biluo Palace narrowed her eyes slightly and carefully looked up and down at the young man in front of her. He was tall and slender, with a handsome face and a heroic look between his eyebrows. He was indeed handsome. But when her eyes swept over the aura emanating from Xuan Yi, she couldn't help but frowned slightly. From Zuo Qingyuan, she had already learned that this man was her future son-in-law. Although his appearance was acceptable, his cultivation was really unsatisfactory. He was not even as good as her own daughter. But on second thought, at his age, he was considered to be a leader among his peers for having such a cultivation. However, compared with her own outstanding daughter Chaoge, the gap was not a little bit. Thinking of this, the Palace Master couldn't help but mutter in her heart: If he encounters danger in the future, will he protect Chaoge, or will Chaoge need to rescue him?
"Well...you are Xuan Yi." The Palace Master of Biluo Palace spoke slowly, his tone neither cold nor hot, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
"Palace Master, it is me." Xuan Yi bowed again and replied.
The Palace Master of Biluo Palace narrowed his eyes slightly, stared sharply at Xuan Yi in front of him, and slowly said: "You like my Chaoge, right?" The voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.
Xuan Yi met the gaze of the Biluo Palace Master without flinching, nodded firmly, and answered solemnly and affectionately: "Yes, to be precise, I love Chaoge. Chaoge is my life. If I lose her, my world will become dark and meaningless."
The Lord of the Biluo Palace sneered and continued, "But you should know the rules of our Biluo Palace. As the heir of our Biluo Palace, Chaoge shoulders great responsibilities and missions. She will take over my position in the future. Therefore, Chaoge cannot marry outside the palace. She can only marry a son-in-law."
Xuan Yi responded without hesitation: "I know this, and I don't mind. After marriage, I am willing to live with Chaoge in this Biluo Palace and share this responsibility with her. As for my parents, I will explain the situation to them. Besides, I am not the only child of my parents, so my absence will not have much impact on them. Wherever Chaoge is, I will be there, and I will never leave her!"
However, the Lord of Biluo Palace was not easily moved by his words. Instead, he questioned again, "Young man, don't brag easily. Everyone can make verbal promises, but how can you guarantee that what you say is from the heart and that you can really do it?"
"Then what do you think it will take for me to believe my sincerity?" Xuan Yi looked at the Palace Master of Biluo Palace sincerely, with a sincere light flashing in his eyes, and asked anxiously.
The Lord of the Biluo Palace narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "The most taboo thing for cultivators is the word honesty. If you want this Lord to believe in your sincerity, you must make a heavenly oath. If you violate it in the future, your cultivation will stagnate for life, and there will be no possibility of improvement!"
Hearing this, Youyou's face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly shouted, "Mom!" Her face was full of anxiety, and she thought to herself, how could this oath of heaven be made so easily? What if something unexpected happened and caused the inner demon to haunt her?
However, before she could tell him everything she was thinking, the Lord of the Biluo Palace waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Chao Ge, don't interfere in this matter. So, Xuan Yi, have you thought it through?"
Xuan Yi slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on Youyou's beautiful and worried eyes. At the moment their eyes met, a wonderful tacit understanding arose spontaneously. He seemed to be able to see through Youyou's eyes and deeply understand the endless worries and deep care contained in them. But after only a short pause, Xuan Yi resolutely turned his head again. His expression became extremely firm, like an indestructible mountain.
He took a deep breath and said in a loud and firm voice: "Okay! I, Xuan Yi, solemnly swear to the supreme heaven. From now on, in this life, there is only Chaoge in my heart. This love is like the twinkling stars, eternal and indestructible; this true love is like the surging river, endless. No matter what difficulties and obstacles I face, even if it is a sea of fire and swords, I will take good care of her, just like protecting the most precious treasure in the world; I will also swear to protect her to the death, so that she will never be hurt. If I break this oath, let my cultivation be destroyed, and fall into the mortal world from now on, turning into an ordinary mortal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Yi held his head high, his body as straight as a pine tree, his face solemn and his expression awe-inspiring. At that moment, he seemed to have put his entire soul and even all his sincerity into this resounding oath without reservation.
Almost at the same time, a low rumble of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, as if it was the Heaven's response to Xuan Yi's oath. The originally clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds, and a strong wind blew up, blowing everyone's clothes flying. A dazzling lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire world. This strange scene seemed to indicate the weight of this oath and the Heaven's witness to it.
