Chapter 1120 Ling'er and Yun Yi are in love, but they keep it a secret. Four rumors circulate t

Yun Yi Sanren blushed as Xiao Yunyan teased him. He straightened his face and pointed at Xiao Yunyan, saying, "Junior sister, you little rascal, stop being naughty. Your senior brother has been tormented by you these past few days."

Xiao Yunyan teased with a smile, "Senior Brother Yunyi, you should thank me. I was your matchmaker and Ling'er's matchmaker, and you can't go back on your word about the matchmaker's gift."

Meng Ling'er blushed deeply. She pleaded with Xiao Yunyan in a coquettish manner:

“Grandmaster Xiao, please stop teasing us. Grandmaster Yun is shy and only agreed to be with me after a lot of trouble. Don’t scare him away.”

Xiao Yunyan laughed heartily, patted Meng Ling'er, and corrected her with a smile:

"Ling'er, you still call him Grandmaster Uncle? Shouldn't you change your address? Do you want to constantly remind him that you're of different generations?"

Yun Yisan and Meng Ling'er both blushed with embarrassment. They hurriedly bid farewell to Xiao Yunyan and fled as if their lives depended on it.

When they reached a secluded spot on the mountaintop, the two smiled at each other, and their love finally saw the light of day.

Meng Ling'er's eyes were filled with joy: "Grandmaster Uncle, how should I address you from now on?"

Yunyi Sanren stroked Ling'er's hair and said gently, "You can call me whatever you like."

"Can I still call you Grandmaster Uncle?" Meng Ling'er asked playfully.

Yunyi Sanren smiled and replied indulgently, "As long as I change 'you' to 'you,' you can call me whatever you want. However, I prefer you to call me by my name. Try changing it, and I'll hear it."

"How about calling me Yunyi?" Meng Ling'er tried to say the name she had been longing to hear.

"Too formal, let's change it."

"Clouds? Is that okay?"

"That's alright, are there any better ones?"

"Yi?"

"Still not intimate enough, should we try another one?"

"No, or could you tell me how to address you?"

Yun Yi's mood lightened as he teased the little girl. However, since they had just officially become a couple, he didn't want to push her too far, even though he wanted to hear her call him "husband."

He smiled and said to Meng Ling'er, "Then let's call you Yi. In front of outsiders, you can call me Yun Yi, and in private, you can call me Yi."

"Okay, Yi!"

"Oh, Ling'er!"

From then on, Yun Yi Sanren had no more worries and was openly with Meng Ling'er.

The two often stroll hand in hand in the mountains, a sight that evokes envy from others.

Seeing this, the senior masters could only suppress their feelings for Meng Ling'er.

After confirming their relationship, Meng Ling'er planned not to tell her father, mother, or even her grandparents. She wanted to have a carefree romance with Yun Yi without interference from others.

This is the kind of love she learned from her Grandmaster Xiao and Grandmaster Li—equality, freedom, mutual respect, mutual tolerance, mutual affection, and facing all problems together.

Meng Ling'er also truly understood from the way Li Kangning and Yan Ziyi got along that Yan Ziyi was not a woman who adhered to the three obediences and four virtues. She had her own ideas, and Li Kangning never forced her to do anything.

They are independent individuals with equal status, yet they are also the best partners who always consider each other, help each other succeed, and grow together.

Two people like that, spending a lot of time together, will develop more and more tacit understanding, which she truly envies.

Meng Ling'er carefully examined the relationship between her and Yun Yi.

Because she initially regarded Yunyi as the most respected elder, and even if she later developed feelings for him, it was a one-sided affection. Therefore, her mindset was somewhat inclined to flatter and fawn over him.

For the time being, Meng Ling'er couldn't adjust her mindset. She needed to work things out with Yun Yi slowly, without anyone bothering her.

Yun Yi was eager to meet Meng Ling'er's family as soon as possible to confirm their relationship. Otherwise, he always felt like a grown man trying to abduct a young girl.

Meng Ling'er firmly disagreed with telling her family, fearing she would be grounded.

They have a custom here that premarital couples cannot spend all their time together before they get married.

Meng Ling'er was worried that once her family found out about her relationship with Yun Yi, they would prevent them from cultivating together every day.

Yunyi Sanren wasn't one to force people to do things against their will. Since Meng Ling'er wanted to keep it a secret, then so be it.

However, keeping their relationship a secret in the capital was not so easy.

Soon, the jealous daughters of officials were spreading rumors in private that Meng Ling'er was immoral and had close relationships with multiple men.

At first, some people treated the events of the temple fair as a source of amusement. They said they saw Meng Ling'er get soaked while saving a scholar who had fallen into the water, and that the scholar even proposed to her in front of everyone.

However, Meng Ling'er did not agree to marry the scholar, and was instead taken away by a tall and handsome young man.

That's not a bad thing; it's basically consistent with the facts and there's nothing wrong with it.

However, the story became increasingly outrageous, with rumors circulating that the scholar jumped off the bridge because he was furious that Meng Ling'er was two-timing him.

After Meng Ling'er saved the scholar, he confessed his love to her in public. However, she was then caught in the act by another lover, who had a big argument with the scholar and then took Meng Ling'er away.

There are many different opinions about the man who supposedly took Meng Ling'er away.

Because Yunyi Sanren used a minor spell to conceal his appearance and figure. Everyone who saw him afterwards felt a great deal of vague memory of him.

Without a definitive answer, there's plenty of room for imagination. Any man who could be associated with a princess like Meng Ling'er must be of extraordinary status.

Originally, both Xiao Lie and Xiao Yan were on the list of rumored lovers, but someone confirmed that the two brothers were not in Beijing at all.

Thus, the mysterious man in white was fabricated by those with ulterior motives to be King Anping, Wei Yingjie, a powerful war god prince who supposedly loved cultivation. Originally, the queen also wanted to arrange a marriage between the two.

However, because Meng Ling'er was still young at the time and caused trouble all the time, and Wei Yingjie had just returned from the frontier in triumph and was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, they were unable to arrange the marriage.

Rumors recently circulated that Wei Yingjie and Meng Ling'er were engaged, but they stumbled upon Meng Ling'er secretly dating a scholar.

The story, told in great detail, eventually reached the ears of the Queen and the Crown Princess.

The Queen ordered the Crown Princess to quickly find out when Meng Ling'er and Wei Yingjie got engaged. How come the elders didn't know?

When Meng Ling'er was called back for questioning, she was completely bewildered. She shook her head vigorously, directly denying the rumor.

The Queen took the opportunity to recommend Wei Yingjie to Meng Ling'er.

"Ling'er, do you know that Prince Anping is the youngest prince in our dynasty? He has been fighting in the north and south since he was thirteen years old, making great achievements and becoming a powerful prince with military power."

Countless young ladies from various families wanted to become the Princess Consort of Prince Anping. However, Prince Anping was devoted to cultivation and disliked ordinary women; he wanted to find women who would cultivate with him.

Your cultivation has been progressing very well recently, and you happen to share the same interests as Prince Anping. Why don't you get to know him and take the opportunity to learn from each other through friendly exchanges?

If you share the same ideals and like each other, your grandmother will arrange your marriage. This will put an end to the rumors circulating outside.

For a young lady like you to be rumored to be having affairs with various young masters is truly damaging to your reputation. Ling'er, do you agree with your grandmother's suggestion?
