Chapter 1010 Affectionate Confession

For the first time, Yun Manyao looked directly into Elder Cheng Fang's cold gaze without flinching at all.

The awe that one had in the past for this great elder disappeared at this moment, replaced by a firmness and determination.

"Great Elder, Ye Tianming is a giant dragon soaring in the sky, and his future is limitless. I am only doing this to help us repair the Tian Palace. Why are you so stubborn and insist on being his enemy?"

Yun Manyao's voice was clear and firm, and every word she spoke struck Cheng Fang's heart.

Cheng Fang snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Yun Manyao with contempt, and his tone was full of undisguised sarcasm.

"Yun Manyao! I see you are in love with him, right?"

"He is just a powerless cultivator. Although he has a bit of luck now, he will suffer sooner or later due to his arrogance. No matter how talented he is, he has to stay alive!"

Yun Manyao's heart felt like it was being plucked by an invisible hand, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

She wanted to explain herself and tell Elder Cheng Fang that everything she did was for the good of Butian Palace, but looking at the other's cold eyes, she knew that any explanation would be futile.

Elder Cheng Fang simply didn't bother to listen to her explanation. He snorted coldly, turned away, and left, leaving Yun Manyao with only a resolute back.

After taking a few steps, Cheng Fang suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze, and asked coldly: "Saint, are you still reluctant to leave?"

Yun Manyao's heart was completely broken when Elder Cheng Fang spoke in a weird way.

She had never thought that her wholehearted devotion to the sect would result in such a result.

Is it true that in their eyes, everything I do is just a child's play?

She ignored Elder Cheng Fang's questioning and just stood there quietly, looking at Ye Tianming with complicated eyes.

Ye Tianming, the man who was as dazzling as a star in her eyes, was looking at her gently at this moment, which made her think of the time when Ye Tianming saved her from the monster at all costs and escorted her back to the camp.

For some reason, the emotions she had been suppressing suddenly burst out.

Tears finally fell uncontrollably from her eyes, but she didn't care at all. She just looked at Ye Tianming infatuatedly, her eyes filled with unspeakable emotions.

At this moment, she forgot about the sect, her responsibilities, and even herself.

It seemed that the only person left in her world was the man in front of her.

"Ye Tianming!"

Just then, Yun Manyao suddenly called him.

A trace of doubt flashed across Ye Tianming's eyes: "What's wrong with you? Is there anything else?"

Yun Manyao bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to say, "I...I want to talk to you alone, is that okay?"

Hearing Yun Manyao's request, everyone present was stunned.

Cheng Fang frowned slightly and wanted to speak up to stop them, but was secretly stopped by Ouyang Kuan who was standing beside him.

Ye Tianming looked at Yun Manyao deeply and said solemnly, "Okay."

When Yun Manyao saw Ye Tianming agreed, she wiped away the tears from her face and a look of happiness appeared in her eyes.

Ye Tianming followed Yun Manyao and after many twists and turns, they arrived at a deep forest.

The sunlight shines through the layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows on their bodies.

Yun Manyao gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Ye Tianming with a bitter smile on her face: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, I..."

"It's okay, I understand." Ye Tianming looked at the charming woman in front of him and felt a trace of pity in his heart.

After all, Yun Manyao was also burdened by the sect and had no choice.

Yun Manyao walked to a flat stone and sat down, whispering, "Ye Tianming, I know you must have a lot of questions in your mind. You must think I'm stupid, right?"

Ye Tianming sat down on a tree root opposite her, shook his head, and said softly: "No, I understand your difficulties."

Yun Manyao smiled bitterly: "What can you understand? How can you, a man of seven feet tall, understand the pain in the heart of a weak woman like me?"

Ye Tianming was silent for a moment and said nothing.

Of course he understood Yun Manyao's suffering. As a girl, she was adopted by a sect since she was young and was taught to put the sect first and obey orders.

Faced with the interests of the sect and personal feelings, she chose the former.

He was framed and almost lost his life, and he once hated Yun Manyao.

But various things that happened later made him completely let go of that obsession and begin to understand Yun Manyao.

"Ye Tianming, I..." Yun Manyao suddenly stood up, walked in front of Ye Tianming, lowered her head, and twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands nervously. It seemed that she had something to say but found it difficult to speak.

Ye Tianming looked at her, waiting for her next words.

Yun Manyao bit her lip and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Ye Tianming, I like you! I've loved you since the first time you saved me from the claws of the monster! But...but I can't..."

As she spoke, her voice became lower and lower, almost turning into a whisper.

Ye Tianming was slightly stunned and could not help but stay where he was.

He had always thought that Yun Manyao's feelings towards him were more of gratitude and guilt, but he had never thought that there was actually a mixture of love between a man and a woman...

Looking at the woman in front of him whose face was flushed because of her confession, Ye Tianming felt mixed emotions.

This sentiment is really not a good thing.

What separates them is not just the sect, but something more.

What's more, he had never had any improper thoughts about Yun Manyao.

"Man Yao..." Ye Tianming was about to speak but was interrupted by Yun Manyao.

"Don't say any more. I know what you want to say." Yun Manyao raised her head, holding back the tears in her eyes, and tried to force out a smile. "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. I came here today just to tell you that in the future... no matter what happens in the future, I will stand by your side, even if it means I have to make enemies with the entire sect!"

At the end, there was a gleam of determination in her eyes.

"Before, I was too cowardly and indecisive, so I watched Elder Cheng Fang and his men secretly harm you again and again. However, because of the so-called grace of the sect's upbringing, I did not stand firmly on your side. I hate myself! But, I swear, from now on, I will never hesitate again! As long as you need me, I am willing to do anything for you!"

Yun Manyao's tone was firm, and her eyes were gleaming with a light she had never seen before, that was a deep and unswerving affection.

Even Ye Tianming's heart seemed to skip a beat when he saw this.

"Ye Tianming, you must be careful of Elder Cheng Fang. He is a vindictive person. If you embarrass him in public today, he will never let it go!"

"Besides, you've embarrassed so many top forces before. They will definitely find a chance to retaliate! You must be careful. If anything happens, you must inform me immediately. Got it?"

Yun Manyao's voice was urgent. She pulled Ye Tianming's sleeve, as if she was afraid that Ye Tianming would refuse.
