Chapter 1717: Promise (Request for Subscription)_1

The male students in the audience burst into heated discussions...

"How come Elder Yuanen has such high standards for a partner, just like Elder Wu Siduo?"

"According to this, only powerful Soul Douluos are eligible to become Elder Yuanen's partner. Even the senior students of the Inner Court don't stand a chance!"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with what Elder Yuanen is doing. After all, if a guy can't even protect himself, how is he supposed to protect her?"

"Easy for you to say, that guy with the number fifteen must be heartbroken now––"

At the same time, Yuanen Yehui retracted her aura, and the male students finally breathed a sigh of relief from the suffocating pressure...

Then, she turned and spoke to Cai Yue'er, "President Cai, it seems there are no male students deserving of my trust at this Sea God's matchmaking event. I think I will leave..."

Before she could finish, Xie Xie hurriedly interrupted, "Yehui, wait!"

Yuanen Yehui stopped what she was about to say, her eyes, glowing with an unusual light, turned to Xie Xie, "Hmm?"

Xie Xie took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Yehui, I know I'm not strong enough to protect you right now, but that's only for now. Nobody knows what the future holds!!"

"So please, give me some time. I will catch up with you!!"

There was a flicker in Yuanen Yehui's beautiful eyes, "And why should I believe you?"

Xie Xie was suddenly at a loss for words, struggling to say, "I... "

Indeed, on what basis could he claim that he would catch up with Yuanen Yehui?

She was already a fearsome Six-ringed Soul Emperor, having absorbed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring at the Soul King level. It was not something he could achieve simply by trying harder!

Seeing his predicament, Yuanen Yehui's lips curved up slightly, and she said calmly, "Fine, I'll reluctantly trust you this once. Of course, if you fail to meet my standards later on, I won't hesitate to leave you!"

After saying this, she took steps to stand beside Xie Xie...

Upon hearing her words, he had an epiphany...

From the beginning, Yuanen Yehui cared not for the strength of his power but for one's attitude!!

With a complex expression, he slowly uttered, "Yehui, I promise I won't let you be wronged in the future!"

Yuanen Yehui gazed deeply at him and said nothing more...

Yue Zhengyu, who observed this scene, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, "What the heck? That worked?? Totally unexpected."

He had never imagined that Yuanen Yehui would agree to Xie Xie so easily!

Shouldn't there be some kind of challenge, normally?

Tang Wulin pressed his lips together and chuckled, "I'm afraid Yehui intended to accept Xie Xie from the start, she just needed a proper reason."

Xu Lizhi agreed, "Mhm, mhm, I think I just saw Yehui smile a bit!"

Cai Yue'er spoke with a touch of surprise, "It seems that student number fifteen and Sea Fairy number twenty-seven have reached some understanding. Let's wish them success in coming together in the next phase."

...

Then it was Shen Yi's turn. Without posing any questions, she directly stepped over to Xu Sheng's side...

Afterwards, she turned her complex gaze towards Dai Yun'er, who stood unflinchingly...

Controlling the throbbing in her heart, Dai Yun'er said calmly, "Teacher Shen, even if you look at me that way, I won't give up on Elder Xu voluntarily. After all... no one has the right to interfere with others, not even you!"

She would not give up just because of the former's threat, especially since she was representing the Royal family of Xingluo Empire!!

Shen Yi said coldly, "Is that so? Then we'll just have to see the truth in combat."

As a teacher of Shrek Academy, she was well-informed about the upcoming events!

Following that, her gaze turned to Xu Sheng, revealing a tender smile, "Xu Sheng, you really did come to participate in the Sea God's Arranged Marriage Event!"

Xu Sheng's gaze showed a trace of helplessness as he quietly said, "Hmm."

However, Shen Yi did not notice anything unusual and continued, "It's also fortunate that I checked the list of participants for the Sea God's Arranged Marriage Event beforehand, otherwise, we might have missed out!"

After being rejected by Xu Sheng back then, she had not intended to participate in the Sea God's Arranged Marriage Event, but since such matters always went through her hands, it wasn't until she discovered Xu Sheng's participation that her desire to join was reignited...

Dai Yun'er, upon hearing this, thought to herself, "So that's how it is!"

It seemed that Teacher Shen and Elder Xu were not the couple that rumors had made them out to be but merely friends!

She clearly saw no sign of affection for the former in the latter's eyes!

This also greatly boosted her confidence, and her mood became much more cheerful...

Then it was Gu Yue's turn. After she asked Tang Wulin an ambiguous question and received a satisfactory answer, she chose him without hesitation...

...

Not until the last Sea Fairy had chosen the male student she fancied did Cai Yue'er finally announce, "The 'Fated Three Lifetimes' segment has concluded. First, please could the Sea Fairies who didn't choose a male student, as well as the male students not chosen by a Sea Fairy, leave the venue of the Sea God's Arranged Marriage Event!!"

Upon these words, the number of participants at the Sea God's Arranged Marriage Event venue was directly halved...

This made the students in the audience feel a chill in their scalps, "Hiss... nearly half the participants have been eliminated just like that!"

"This is too cruel. I thought there would still be a chance to choose in the next round. I didn't expect a complete elimination!"

"This is normal. In previous Sea God's Arranged Marriage Events, the chances of successfully finding a partner were very low. It's already quite a lot that half of us were left this time!"

"Those male students and Sea Fairies must be regretting it now. Even if they had chosen randomly, they could have continued in the following round. It's a pity!"

"No... the answers from before should have been recorded. Choosing randomly would still lead to elimination in the end!"

...

On the steamboat over Sea God's Lake!

Feng Wu Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? So many people are left this year, this is a first!"

Ya Li nodded in agreement, "Indeed, perhaps it's because there are more participants in the Sea God's Arranged Marriage Event this year!"

"Of course, we can't rule out that these youngsters have been repressing their feelings in the Outer Court and are using this event to pour them out!"

Turbid World stroked his beard, "Tsk tsk tsk, I really envy these youngsters for being bold enough to express their feelings. They're much better than our batches!"

After pausing for a moment and furrowing his brows, he said, "However, the fact that the child from Xingluo Empire chose Elder Xu is somewhat unexpected, given the not insignificant age difference!"

Seemingly perceiving something, Ya Li asked curiously, "Elder Turbid World, are you worried about Shen Yi?"

Turbid World did not hide his concern, sighing, "Yes, I wonder if Shen Yi would be able to bear the blow if Xu Sheng completely rejects her!"
