A Difficult Decision

Ye Tian smiled faintly and said, "Sister, you're also at the age to get married. You should start looking for a good husband."

Saying his sister liked Xue Qinghe was clearly a joke.

After all, he knew very well that Xue Qinghe was just Qian Renxue in disguise.

But he himself was at the age to get married.

It was time for his sister to find a good husband too.

Now that she had withdrawn from the Spirit Hall, it was only natural to settle down and live a good life.

"Find a husband?" Bibi Dong chuckled softly.

This good little brother of hers was truly thoughtful.

She placed her jade-like hand on Ye Tian's shoulder. "Xiaotian, you haven't even found a girlfriend yet. How could I feel at ease getting married?"

"Finding a girlfriend isn't something you can rush."

Ye Tian shrank back slightly, regretting bringing it up.

In the end, the spotlight was back on him.

He spread his hands helplessly and said, "The East Sea shore is too small. I haven't met my 'white moonlight.'"

Bibi Dong said with deep meaning, "From the looks of it, you don't plan to leave the East Sea shore. If that's the case, when will you ever find a girlfriend?"

Ye Tian scratched his head.

That was indeed a debatable question.

Then, he laughed lightly and said, "In a few years, when the Spirit Hall Pope loses to the two empires and retreats to the East Sea shore, I will descend from the heavens, save her like a hero, and maybe win her heart. From then on, I'll live a shameless and carefree life with the Pope."

"Huh?!"

Hu Liena, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation the whole time, suddenly widened her eyes.

Ye Tian truly had ulterior motives!

He was still thinking about the teacher!

And even dared to bring it up in front of the teacher!

The phrase "daring beyond measure" wasn't enough to describe Ye Tian at this moment!

Hu Liena covered her face, hoping Ye Tian would rest in peace...

Seeing Hu Liena's astonishment, Ye Tian looked disdainfully at her.

"Nana, what's with that look?"

He straightened up and said seriously, "Today, I'm telling you the truth—I only like women like Bibi Dong!"

Hearing this, Hu Liena's expression instantly became deflated.

Whether in terms of figure or strength, she couldn't compare to the teacher.

One had to admit, Ye Tian's standards were indeed a bit high.

Seeing his sister's obvious surprise, Ye Tian continued speaking boldly, without reducing his confidence, "Sister, don't blame me for having high standards. It's just that after experiencing the vast seas, ordinary water won't suffice. So, finding a girlfriend will take time."

Knowing that someone as beautiful as Bibi Dong existed, he simply couldn't lower his standards.

Hu Liena blinked repeatedly, not daring to speak.

Ye Tian must feel he hasn't suffered enough, to even deliberately raise the stakes.

Bibi Dong's look of surprise quickly faded, replaced by calm indifference.

Faced with Ye Tian's wild words, she had no intention of pursuing the matter.

She understood that Ye Tian didn't really like *her*.

What he liked was the 'Bibi Dong' woven from poetry and fantasy in his heart.

At Ye Tian's age, it was perfectly normal for his heart to be filled with such fantasies.

"Xiaotian, you're so excellent; it's not wrong for you to have high standards for finding a girlfriend."

"But, you shouldn't be too idealistic about everything."

"As you imagine, if you were to marry someone like Bibi Dong, it would certainly be a happy ending."

"But what are the chances of that happening?"

"Based on your previous guesses, realistically speaking, Bibi Dong is unlikely to escape the clutches of the two empires. The probability of her and the Spirit Hall being erased from history is quite high."

"If that happens, will you spend the rest of your life alone?"

Bibi Dong's violet eyes gazed calmly at Ye Tian, giving off an unusually steady impression.

Ye Tian rested his chin in thought, "Sister, you make a very good point."

"So, Xiaotian, you need to be more grounded and realistic." Bibi Dong patted Ye Tian's shoulder, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't put all your hopes on one person. With your abilities, it wouldn't be unreasonable to marry several wives, would it?"

Ye Tian immediately took a strategic step back, eyeing Bibi Dong with suspicion, "Sister, you're acting strange."

Isn't this pushing him to become a bad guy?

Bibi Dong smiled calmly and turned to pull Hu Liena forward, placing her hand in Ye Tian's.

"Nana has been with me for many years. Sister wants her to marry you."

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's face instantly turned beet red.

She hadn't expected the teacher to be so direct.

For a moment, she couldn't find the words to respond.

Ye Tian stared in shock at Bibi Dong and Hu Liena, lost in thought.

Nearby, Chen Jian smiled as he watched the scene unfold, feeling quite satisfied, and wisely took his leave.

Bibi Dong sighed lightly, "I just want you to have someone by your side to take care of you, Xiaotian."

"I'm sure you've noticed that Nana likes you very much."

"Sister hopes you can give Nana a warm home."

"Of course, I can assure you that if you meet someone you truly like in the future, Nana won't stand in the way."

"Haha, Sister, let's not joke about this. Look at Nana; her face is practically on fire."

Ye Tian glanced at Hu Liena and responded with a light laugh.

He hadn't expected his sister to seriously consider pairing him with Nana.

He wasn't lacking in emotional intelligence, so he could easily tell that Nana had feelings for him.

Earlier, she even got jealous of Li Jiuchuan.

The reason Ye Tian had been avoiding this issue was because Nana was too much of a hopeless romantic.

Love would put a filter over her eyes, making everything look wonderful.

As a result, her judgment of his personality would be skewed.

The side of Ye Tian that she had seen so far was his gentle one.

But if she ever found out about his cold-blooded side, like when he destroyed the Zhou family without hesitation, would she still like him?

That was something he had to consider seriously.

After all, a wife is someone you spend your entire life with.

He could hide his true nature for a while, but not for a lifetime.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes moved slightly as she spoke seriously.

She gently raised her hand and stroked Hu Liena's hair, sighing softly:

"Nana has suffered a lot. You wouldn't want her to end up with the wrong man and ruin her life, would you?"

Her words were clearly telling Ye Tian: You know, Nana's not the sharpest tool in the shed, and if she ends up with a bad guy, her future will be bleak.

"Teacher…" Hu Liena's eyes reddened as she nestled into Bibi Dong's warm embrace.

Faced with his sister's reminder, Ye Tian pondered once more.

Indeed, given Nana's personality, being by his side was undoubtedly the safest option.

Not to mention, if she ever fell for someone like Tang San, her life would be over.

"Sigh, such a tough decision." Ye Tian rubbed his forehead.

In his heart, Nana was more suitable as a younger sister, not a girlfriend.

That's what he had always thought.

But in a world as turbulent as this, and with Nana being so beautiful, it was inevitable that others would covet her.

Living an ordinary life seemed nearly impossible.

Seeing Ye Tian deep in thought, Bibi Dong added, "Sister only wants Nana to stay by your side. She won't ask for any official title."
