Before they parted, Gu Shenge confessed his feelings to Yun Yun. After spending so much time together, the beautiful sect leader had realized she'd fallen for the man before her. Without hesitation, she accepted his confession.
"I'm sorry. There's something I lied to you about. My name isn't Yun Zhi. I'm Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect."
After she finished speaking, Yun Yun buried her face against Gu Shenge's chest, seeming ashamed that she'd given him a false name.
Gu Shenge gently held her, resting his cheek against her hair and breathing in its faint fragrance. He didn't blame her. Instead, he revealed his real name to the beautiful sect leader and teased, "Looks like we were both on our guard. Neither of us told the other our real names. I'm not Juan Shoutian, either. My real name is Gu Shenge."
"Gu Shenge..." Yun Yun repeated his name. She wasn't very surprised; she'd suspected from the start that he might be using a false name.
Perhaps she'd assumed as much because she'd given him a false name herself. He might not have been using his real one, either.
Gu Shenge nodded and continued his fervent pursuit. "Yes. Juan Shoutian is an alias I use while traveling the continent. I'm the Palace Master of the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Palace."
"But whether I'm Juan Shoutian or Gu Shenge, I'm still me. Just as it doesn't matter to me whether you're Yun Zhi or Yun Yun. All I know is that I love you, Yun'er. Will you marry me?"
How could a pure-hearted, mature beauty like Yun Yun resist such sweet words? Leaning against Gu Shenge, she didn't care what the man before her was called. She only knew that she loved him and was willing to accept him.
