[At the age of 80, Ye Yu successfully reached the early stage of the Tribulation Crossing realm.]
[Over these past decades...]
[Ye Yu has been serving as an Elder of Worship in the Bai family.]
[He witnessed the Bai family’s rise...]
[Their sweeping dominance over all nearby cultivation families.]
[Despite his position as an Elder of Worship, Ye Yu never intervened directly.]
[It wasn’t that Ye Yu didn’t want to contribute...]
[But rather, Bai Family Patriarch Bai Yuben made it clear, stating that as their “Lucky Charm,” Ye Yu’s presence alone was enough to command respect. Why go out of his way to intervene?]
[Moreover, after each of the Bai family’s victories...]
[Bai Yuben would eagerly come to Ye Yu, crediting all their success to him as their Lucky Charm.]
[The flattery poured in, nonstop.]
[The emotional value was off the charts!]
[Ye Yu couldn’t help but feel somewhat helpless.]
[It seemed the title of “Lucky Charm” was stuck on him.]
[But perhaps it wasn’t so bad—less work, good benefits.]
[And most importantly, the Bai family had a vast collection of forbidden techniques.]
[This was the very reason Ye Yu remained.]
[Bai Miao Leng was like a curious child...]
[Often appearing by Ye Yu’s side, asking how the creation of new techniques was coming along.]
[Every time, Ye Yu would reply that inspiration hadn’t struck yet. Perhaps he’d find it after studying a few more forbidden techniques.]
[At that point, Bai Miao Leng would pretend to struggle, saying she’d try to find more for him to study.]
[Over the course of several decades...]
[Ye Yu managed to acquire over twenty forbidden techniques from Bai Miao Leng.]
[Such an enormous number...]
[It was almost unbelievable.]
[It was hard to fathom that a single cultivation family could possess so many forbidden techniques.]
[But Ye Yu didn’t think too deeply about it.]
[After all, the cultivation world is vast and full of wonders.]
[Maybe the Bai family had an exceptionally well-preserved heritage!]
[For Ye Yu, forbidden techniques represented immense power and significant costs.]
[It was precisely these aspects that attracted him.]
[Using the lives of his enemies as sacrifices to destroy them...]
[Perfectly self-sustaining!]
[However, over the years...]
[Ye Yu remained cautious. Before practicing any forbidden techniques...]
[He would make an excuse to retreat for “secluded cultivation.”]
[In truth, he would go far from the Bai family’s territory to find an unfortunate soul as a scapegoat.]
[This golden talent, Disaster Redirection, was far too powerful to let others know about.]
[Especially the Bai family!]
[Otherwise, it would lead to serious complications.]
[Fortunately, all these years had passed peacefully, without any issues.]
[This made Ye Yu feel quite comfortable.]
[Perhaps staying with the Bai family until ascension wasn’t a bad idea.]
[At the age of 82, while Ye Yu was cultivating, Bai Miao Leng came to him.]
[Ye Yu assumed she had found a new forbidden technique.]
[He was quite pleased at the thought.]
[But to his surprise, Bai Miao Leng sat across from him, looking troubled.]
[Ye Yu was puzzled by this.]
[He had known Bai Miao Leng for sixty years...]
[And every time they met, she was always smiling.]
[Why did she look so unhappy today?]
[Ye Yu gently asked, “Is something wrong?”]
[Bai Miao Leng didn’t answer directly but instead asked, “You’ve been with the Bai family for so many years. Do you really have no other thoughts?”]
[Ye Yu chuckled, “I’m just an Elder of Worship. What thoughts could I have?”]
[“What, overthrow your brother and take over the Bai family yourself?”]
[It was a lighthearted remark, but Bai Miao Leng fell into deep thought. Then, with utmost seriousness, she said, “We could plan that.”]
[Ye Yu was momentarily stunned.]
[He tapped her forehead lightly.]
[“Are you crazy? You want to conspire against your own brother with an outsider?”]
[Bai Miao Leng looked downcast.]
[In a soft voice, she said, “My brother has gone mad. He wants to marry me off to another cultivation family.”]
[“I don’t want that.”]
[“So, I want to ask... do you really have no feelings for me? Why don’t you want to take me as your Dao companion? Is it because I’m not beautiful enough?”]
[Saying this, Bai Miao Leng looked up slightly, her eyes reddened with grievance, gazing at Ye Yu with an expression so pitiful that it would tug at anyone’s heart.]
[For a moment, Ye Yu felt disoriented.]

[Since joining the Bai family...]
[Aside from Bai Yuben, the first person who left a strong impression on him was Bai Miao Leng.]
[Throughout the years...]
[Every time Ye Yu visited the Dao Enlightenment Pavilion...]
[He was never short of spiritual tea and fruits at his side.]
[And those countless forbidden techniques were all handed to him personally by Bai Miao Leng.]
[Gradually, Ye Yu had grown accustomed to this life.]
[More than that, he had grown accustomed to having Bai Miao Leng by his side.]
[Sometimes, it’s only when you’re about to lose something that you realize its true importance.]
[Ye Yu’s gaze became resolute.]
[He stood up, took Bai Miao Leng’s hand, and said, “From now on, you’ll be my Dao companion. I’ll go with you to speak to your brother. If he disagrees, we’ll elope!”]
[Upon hearing this...]
[Bai Miao Leng was overjoyed, a beautiful smile forming on her lips.]
[In the main hall of the Bai family...]
[Bai Yuben was reading through intelligence reports from the northern wastelands.]
[Ye Yu suddenly burst in, pulling Bai Miao Leng along.]
[The two of them wore expressions—one stern, the other excited.]
[Bai Yuben was baffled.]
[Just as he was about to speak...]
[Ye Yu cut straight to the point, “Cancel any marriage alliance with other families. I’m taking Bai Miao Leng as my Dao companion.”]
[“Do you agree?”]
[Bai Yuben was completely dumbfounded.]
[Marriage alliance? What marriage alliance? Where did that come from?]
[He instinctively looked at Bai Miao Leng, hoping she could explain.]
[But all she said was three words...]
[“Agree to it!”]
[With his master’s command, there was no reason to refuse.]
[Bai Yuben quickly replied, “I can agree. I’ll go cancel the marriage alliance right away!”]
[Such a quick acceptance made Ye Yu raise an eyebrow.]
[Was this too easy? Was there a catch?]
[Bai Yuben glanced at Bai Miao Leng, quickly denying, “How could there be any trickery? You’re my Lucky Charm. Of course, I’d be thrilled for you to join the family.”
[“Besides, since you both came here together...”
[“That proves this is mutual consent.”]
[“Why should I play the villain?”]
[Hearing this explanation, Ye Yu nodded.]
[It did make sense.]
[Bai Miao Leng was overjoyed, repeatedly thanking Bai Yuben.]
[Then, she suggested, “To avoid any delays, why don’t we hold the wedding tonight?”]
[Ye Yu was taken aback. Wasn’t this a bit... fast?]
[“Sister, isn’t this a little too hasty?”]
[Bai Yuben also felt it was sudden.]
[He was about to object, but seeing the sudden chill in Bai Miao Leng’s gaze...]
[He immediately changed his tune.]
[“Tonight it is! Let’s make it a grand celebration for the Bai family!”]
