Tang Lian's Choice!
Lei Hong hadn't expected that, after all these years, seeing Li Hanyi again would mean hearing those words. At a loss, he asked, "Could it be... Could it be that I was too late?"
Li Hanyi shook her head and answered firmly, "Fate is hard to predict, but I can say for certain that no matter how early you had appeared before me, I could never have fallen for you.
"So you don't need to cling to this. You will definitely meet someone who falls in love with you at first sight."
Her words hit Lei Hong like a heavy blow. His face pale, he said, "I see... The one you love is that Taoist from Qingcheng Mountain, right?"
Li Hanyi nodded and said earnestly, "Yes, I love him!"
At that, Lei Hong turned and walked away unsteadily, as if his soul had left his body.
Seeing him like that, Li Hanyi couldn't help feeling sorry for him. But she knew there was no room for hesitation when it came to matters of the heart. She had come down the mountain this time to make things clear, so she couldn't leave any lingering doubts.
After a brief hesitation, she said seriously, "Lei Wujie is my disciple, too. You've taught him very well!"
Lei Hong's body gave a jolt. He suddenly remembered that even if he'd lost love, he still had a disciple.
Thinking of how his disciple would be back soon, he quickly rallied himself and managed to force a smile. "Yes, he's gifted! And he loves learning swordsmanship. If you don't mind, I can let you take him."
Li Hanyi shook her head and smiled. "He's my younger brother. As his older sister, I want to thank you. You're a good person and a good master.
