Zhang Runya frowned slightly at this question, "I don't think she did it on purpose. Although Ye Youlong is a bit aloof and strange in personality, she wouldn't be joking about her own future prospects, right? Otherwise, why would she have refused Huang Hu from the Green Emperor Spirit Academy in the first place? Huang Hu is also a Talent Spirit Master of SS grade."
"I also think she didn't do it on purpose. After all, her goal since childhood has been very strong, to become someone just like her elder brother! But... but the problem is, how can I believe that she didn't do it on purpose now?"
Ye Wudi really felt more and more frustrated the more he thought about it!
He simply couldn't understand the reason!
If it were rebellion, she had always been rebellious since she was a child, but never like this!
"Alright, if you can't figure it out, stop thinking about it. When Youlong returns later, you can just ask her then," advised Zhang Runya.
Ye Wudi sighed again, "Now only by asking her can we know the situation. If her prospects are limited, I truly don't have the face to confront my elder brother."
"Report!"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
"Come in."
"Reporting to the General, the young miss has returned. Also, Huang Yuan, the First Legion Commander, and his son Huang Fei are at the door requesting to see you!"
"Have them wait in the reception hall."
"Yes!"
Ye Wudi was puzzled, "Isn't Huang Yuan stationed at the defense line? How come he has come here?"
Zhang Runya said, "You really don't pay attention to anything else, do you? Huang Yuan came here specially this time, I guess it's for his son Huang Fei's sake."
"What do you mean?"
"Huang Fei also has SSS grade talent, one year older than Youlong, and is already a Second Grade Spirit Master. He has liked Youlong since childhood and once Youlong awakened her Artifact Spirit, he immediately dissolved his own contract, intending to form a Life and Death Contract with Youlong."
"Just don't know what the reason is, Youlong didn't choose him and instead went out to find someone by herself, and ended up with such a person. You know, Huang Fei's contracted partner was an SS grade Artifact Spirit, a genius as well."
"The two had been working together for a year, and he just resolved it just like that. Just the courage alone shows how much he values Youlong, a truly sincere child."
Women think about problems by using emotions.
As a General who leads armies, Ye Wudi's thinking naturally encompasses more, "I don't deny that Huang Fei is an excellent kid, but his rash decision to abandon his Contracted Artifact Spirit, isn't it taking the contract too lightly? Has he considered how cruel this is to the Artifact Spirit?"
"Moreover, Youlong's talent is enough to be highly regarded by any Spirit Master! Rather than saying he is sincere, it's better to say this is his choice after weighing the pros and cons."
In Ye Wudi's heart, whether it's a Life and Death Contract or an equal contract.
Once a contract partner has been chosen, it cannot be abandoned lightly!
Loyalty!
Is the core of a contract!
He despises those who dissolve contracts so easily.
"Why would you think that way? He has liked Youlong since he was young, just older than Youlong, and that can't be helped. It's not like he could just not form a contract and cultivate for a whole year, could he?"
"Furthermore, it was just an equal contract, to begin with. There are risks involved when signing, and there's no question of cruelty."
Zhang Runya said somewhat displeased, feeling that Ye Wudi was being a bit narrow-minded, "Anyway, no matter what, Huang Fei is also the son of the First Legion Commander, and your relationship with them isn't bad. It's somewhat inappropriate for you to think this way about his son."
Ye Wudi shook his head, "You are just being emotional, a woman's heart. Judging a person shouldn't be based on his status, otherwise, according to what you're saying, the higher the rank, the better the person."
"Hmph, when I discuss with you, you just nitpick. I can't be bothered talking to you, you're just stubborn!" Zhang Runya was not happy.
"Am I stubborn? I think it's you women who are stubborn! I'm discussing this with you rationally, logically; it's a reasonable analysis!" Ye Wudi hadn't realized the seriousness of the issue yet.
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying I'm unreasonable? Constantly saying 'woman', do you look down on us women?" Zhang Runya immediately grabbed Ye Wudi's ear.
And began to rebuke.
"Stop, stop, stop, I was wrong, wife, I was wrong..."
Ye Wudi quickly begged for mercy.
The prestigious and imposing Ye Wudi, at this moment, instantly turned into a man with his ears being pulled.
Damn it, why is the wife angry again?
Wasn't he just reasoning calmly with her?
Women are too fickle.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Runya demanded angrily.
"I'm wrong about everything."
"You're giving me lip service!"
"No, no, I really am wrong. I shouldn't discuss reason with a woman... my dear, I shouldn't be stubborn, I'm the thick-headed one, my wife is the greatest in all the land!"
"Hmph, that's a little better." Zhang Runya let go, satisfied.
Daring to argue with a woman?
Hmph! Women are the greatest reason of all!
Looking at Ye Wudi who was wincing in pain, Zhang Runya couldn't help but feel a little distressed, "Does it hurt that much? I just pinched you lightly, look at you, you've been cut with a sword on the battlefield without such an exaggerated reaction."
"You don't understand, you're my wife, you and them are not on the same level. Others do physical harm, you do magical damage. Others injure the body, you injure the heart!"
Zhang Runya couldn't help but smile, and gave him a roll of her eyes with vexation, "Nonsense, I don't know what I saw in you back then. There were so many SSS grade talents pursuing me, and I didn't agree to any, yet I chose you who are just SS grade."
"Heh, isn't it just because I'm handsome and charming, a riot of colors that dazzles the eye."
"Get out!"
"Okay then."
...
Meanwhile.
In the Great Hall of the General Mansion.
Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong had just sat down, not even having the chance to take a sip of the hot tea, when a young man dressed in a white fur collar rushed in through the door.
Heading straight for Ye Youlong.
"Youlong, you're finally back, I've been so worried about you," Huang Fei expressed his anxiousness and joy.
He strode up to Ye Youlong and just as he was about to reach out intimately, he suddenly saw the black pattern on Ye Youlong's forehead.
His expression froze, incredulous!
The smile on his face vanished, replaced by an immense sullen anger, but still, he tried to restrain himself, "Youlong, why did you sign a contract? Why didn't you wait for me? Didn't we agree?"
He reached out to grab Ye Youlong's shoulder.
Ye Youlong slapped his hand away with a cold stare, "Watch your behavior!"
Huang Fei's expression turned stiff, his hand frozen in mid-air.
Uncertain of what to do.
Ye Youlong continued, "Also, I never said I would form a contract with you! All my choices are my own!"
The heartless words felt like a bucket of cold water doused over Huang Fei, chilling his heart to the core.
