Meng Ling'er was taken by Xiao Yunyan to meet the other handsome grandmaster uncles, and Yun Yi Sanren was also invited to go along.
He saw how likable Meng Ling'er was, with her lively and cheerful personality and beautiful appearance.
Although his fellow disciples were not as skilled as him, they had all undergone physical transformations, becoming younger and more handsome.
Yunyi Sanren felt that he did not have a significant advantage in appearance compared to his junior brothers.
If a junior brother catches Meng Ling'er's eye, and that junior brother doesn't care about seniority and age like she does, then Meng Ling'er is very likely to fall in love with someone else.
Yun Yi Sanren already knew about Meng Ling'er's feelings for him. He was usually very decisive in everything he did, but he only became hesitant and cautious when faced with Meng Ling'er's affections.
However, when he actually saw Meng Ling'er being affectionate with someone else, just thinking about that scene made his blood surge uncontrollably, and he felt heartbroken.
Yunyi Sanren's hesitation was completely eliminated, or perhaps it was just a coincidence.
That time, Yunyi Sanren took Meng Ling'er to the temple fair. There were too many pedestrians on the bridge, and a young and handsome scholar was pushed into the water.
Yunyi Sanren was at a stall picking out a mask for Meng Ling'er when he didn't see anyone fall into the water.
When he turned around amidst the gasps of the crowd, he saw Meng Ling'er leap across the water and rescue the soaking wet man.
The young scholar was captivated by the beautiful young fairy before him, staring intently at Meng Ling'er. His infatuation was undisguised.
He also thanked Meng Ling'er and clearly introduced himself and his age. He then emphasized, "Miss saved me, and my clothes are wet. We have now had physical intimacy, and to avoid damaging your reputation, if you don't mind, I would like to ask..."
I am willing to take responsibility for this and will ask a matchmaker to propose marriage another day. What do you think, Miss?
The scholar clearly had feelings for Ling'er and, under the guise of expressing gratitude for saving his life, wanted to pursue a relationship with her.
When Yun Yi Sanren turned around, he happened to see Ling'er's wet clothes on the opposite bank, and he could vaguely see the outline of her chest. His ears immediately turned red.
He quickly stepped in front of Meng Ling'er to shield her from the gaze of others, and used magic to instantly dry her clothes.
The scholar's behavior stirred a strange pang of bitterness in Yun Yisan's heart. His Ling'er was being coveted by another outstanding young man, and this feeling was agonizing.
Meng Ling'er's clothes suddenly dried, and she knew it was Grandmaster Yun Yi who had helped her. She thanked Grandmaster Yun Yi first.
Then she stepped forward, smiled at the scholar, and said, "Young master, you don't need to be so polite. It was nothing, just a small favor. Go back and change your clothes so you don't catch a cold."
The scholar hurriedly thanked Meng Ling'er, but his eyes kept glancing at her. He tried again, saying, "Miss, please tell me your address, and I will definitely come to thank you in person."
Meng Ling'er smiled and waved her hand, still saying it was just a small favor. Yun Yi Sanren looked at the scholar's infatuated gaze and felt increasingly uneasy.
Yun Yi Sanren, with a cold face, refused the scholar's invitation to dinner to express his gratitude. He then led Ling'er back.
On the way back from the temple fair, Yun Yi Sanren remained silent. Meng Ling'er noticed his unusual behavior and asked him with concern.
Yun Yi and Meng Ling'er went to a secluded spot. He looked deeply into Meng Ling'er's concerned eyes and asked the question that had been on his mind:
"Ling'er, recently your Grandmaster Uncle Xiao has been taking you to visit various places, but in reality, he's taking you on blind dates. Are you aware of this?"
Meng Ling'er nodded and said, "Grandmaster Xiao is concerned about my marriage. I can't refuse her kindness. Are you unhappy?"
Yunyi Sanren forced a smile and asked, "Do you have anyone you like?"
Meng Ling'er thought for a moment, and first listed the merits of each of the grandmasters she had visited.
Yun Yi Sanren felt even more heartbroken upon hearing this. It turned out that Ling'er couldn't only see his good qualities. Other outstanding men could also attract her attention.
Since they have so many advantages, she doesn't seem to be that appealing to her.
An indescribable feeling made him insecure. Could it be that he had hurt Ling'er by ignoring her confessions, causing her to consider someone else?
Ling'er didn't understand the meaning behind Yun Yi Sanren's silence. So she pressed on, "Grandmaster Uncle, you should know that I used to be in love with you."
However, you have no romantic feelings for me. I have mustered up the courage to confess my feelings to you many times, but you have ignored me.
I understand now. You are a high and mighty god, while I am merely a low-level cultivator. The gap between us is too vast, and I understand why you look down on me.
To avoid jeopardizing our future friendship, I will not overstep my bounds with you again. You will always be my most respected grand-uncle.
Meng Ling'er is very open and straightforward, and she can easily let go of her feelings. Who told the person she liked to be so clueless and ignorant about romantic relationships? Clinging and pestering isn't her style.
Meng Ling'er's words, and the growing melancholy in her expression, made Yun Yisanren even more distressed. He realized that his rejection had hurt Ling'er's true feelings. That carefree little girl had suffered heartbreak because of him.
Yun Yisan's bottom line crumbled completely. He loved Ling'er. Ling'er loved him too. If others didn't care about the age gap or the difference in generations, shouldn't he change his mind too?
He hasn't lost Ling'er yet, but just thinking about her being liked by other men makes him feel bad. Seeing other men showing affection for Meng Ling'er makes him feel suffocated and he wants to beat them up.
Do Meng Ling'er also feel this way? The pain of loving someone you can't have, yet seeing them frequently, is an unbearable torment.
Yun Yi Sanren didn't want to be sad himself, and even less did he want Ling'er to be sad, so he finally mustered up his courage and said:
"Ling'er, please forgive my slowness. If I were to say that I would no longer reject your feelings, would you still be willing to stay by my side?"
Meng Ling'er was stunned at first, then asked in disbelief, "Grandmaster Uncle, do you mean you accept my feelings and are willing to be with me for countless springs, summers, autumns and winters to come?"
Yun Yi Sanren's ears turned bright red, and he nodded slightly.
"Ling'er, I do. But our remaining years are extremely long, will you stay with me forever?"
Meng Ling'er's eyes instantly reddened, but a bright smile bloomed on her face. She excitedly threw herself into Yun Yi Sanren's arms, "I'm willing, of course I'm willing!"
Yun Yi Sanren hugged her tightly, as if she would disappear if he let go.
Just then, a mocking voice came: "What kind of behavior is this!" The two turned around and saw that it was Xiao Yunyan.
Xiao Yunyan deliberately widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief, and asked in praise:
"Senior Brother Yunyi, how can you be with Ling'er? There are two generations between you, and you are more than ten thousand years apart in age. Isn't that what you care about the most?"
