"Si Lingxi!"
"Which Si Lingxi?"
"Si Lingxi of Phoenix Mountain in the Southern Border—the only Fire Phoenix in the world."
"She's also..."
"She's also Lu Lang's Red confidante. I call her Sister Ling Xi now."
"..."
Old Madam studied Liu Qingyan carefully, trying to spot any trace of a lie on her face.
After looking for a long while, she found none.
"How could that be?"
Old Madam could hardly believe it. Her gaze toward Lu Zheng was filled with disbelief.
Liu Qingyan bit down on her pearly teeth. It should have been impossible, but who could blame Lu Zheng for being too outstanding? His chess surpassed Ten Thousand Pines Daoist's, his cooking surpassed the greatest chefs in the world, and his vision surpassed even the historians of the Spring and Autumn period.
His musical talent overflowed, and his painting skills astonished the world.
One piece, "Phoenix Decree"; one painting, "Phoenix Maiden Playing Zither Picture." Even Si Lingxi could not help but be moved by Lu Zheng.
Given Si Lingxi's restraint, even if she had feelings for Lu Zheng, she might not necessarily have acted on them. But by sheer coincidence, the matter of the Heartless True Desire Demon Ancestor had happened!
Well then—such a life-saving grace could not be repaid, so she could only offer herself in marriage...
What else could Liu Qingyan do? She was in despair too...
"It is indeed so."
Hearing Old Madam's question, Liu Qingyan hurriedly nodded. "Sister Ling Xi has already moved into our home. But with the New Year approaching, Phoenix Mountain has many matters, great and small, to handle, so she did not come here and returned to Phoenix Mountain instead. Oh, she also asked me to convey her greetings to you, but I hadn't had the chance to mention it yet."
