Old Enemies Meet; Li Xianlu Shines; The Jade Maiden Plays Matchmaker; All Are Astounded

Li Xian folded the "Pure Astral-Qi Garment" around his waist, slightly altering his figure and making him appear a bit plump. However, this was a temporary measure and could not be perfect; upon closer inspection, it had many flaws. He moved quickly, hurriedly washed his hands, and sat back down at the dining table.

Using the table as a cover could conceal the waist, abdomen, and feet, but it was difficult to hide the shoulders and neck. Upon closer inspection, flaws remained. Li Xian thought, "This matter happened hastily and suddenly. If I had known earlier, I could have worn a Black Robe and wouldn't have been exposed so quickly. But then again, if I had known earlier, why would I have saved her? Forget about her being a 'jade Jade Maiden,' I might as well have thrown myself into the lake to feed the fish."

Zhao Ran washed her hands again, her face was reddish, and she glanced at Li Xian without any trace, and sat down opposite him. She was sleeping in a deep sleep and consumed very little. Although she felt hungry at this time, she was not in a hurry to eat. She asked doubtfully, "I... really have been in a coma for three years?"

Suddenly, his brow furrowed slightly. He vaguely sensed a familiarity with Li Xian, but his mind was still hazy. Having just woken from a long sleep and receiving a flood of information, he had no time to pay attention to anything else.

Find good books at???????? n??. c?? o?? m?? It's super convenient.

Li Xian said, "Why would I lie to you? If I were to lie to you, why would I have saved you? In your current state, if no one wakes you up, you will surely remain asleep forever. Did I go through all this trouble just to wake you up and deceive you?"

Zhao Zaizai was convinced and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for saving me. I will remember this kindness and repay it if I ever need anything in the future." Smelling the aroma of the dishes, he asked curiously, "Did you cook this?"

Li Xian said, "Try it." He secretly regretted not having poisoned it.

Zhao Zaizai nodded and said, "The color and aroma are quite good, but I wonder how it tastes." She picked up a piece of tender fish kidney, covered her face with her sleeve, lifted her veil, and slowly chewed it. She closed her eyes to savor it, her red lips moved slightly, and after nodding gently, she said, "It's acceptable."

Li Xian sneered inwardly, feeling utterly disdainful. Little did he know that Zhao Zaizai of the word "acceptable" was already a very high evaluation.

Li Xian thought to himself, "If this woman refuses to leave, it will be a real problem. I need to think of a way to take advantage of her dazed state and trick her into leaving." He silently prepared his words and said, "You—"

Zhao Ranran suddenly asked, "Oh right, where is Senior Su Fuyou?" Li Xian replied, "He has gone far away, passing on his medical skills to me."

Zhao Ran asked again, "Why?" Li Xian replied calmly, "There's no need to explain the affairs of my lineage to you."

Zhao Zaizai felt slightly resentful, but still said apologetically, "I didn't mean to pry, I'm truly sorry. Then, please tell me in detail about what happened during my three years in a coma."

Li Xian said, "That's not difficult. My master told me that you were chasing the Flower Thief and went deep into Dongran Lake, where you encountered danger and fell unconscious. This unconsciousness was no simple matter. If no one had woken you up, you would have been in eternal slumber. You are lucky; as expected of Jade Maiden, you actually encountered your master in such a perilous situation."

"Our Ghost Doctor Lineage has always been known for its benevolent hearts beneath their ghostly appearances. Therefore, I rescued you. With my master's abilities, he could have immediately revived you. However, we were missing a crucial medicinal ingredient. Perhaps it was the Unseen, but while my master was searching for it, he happened to encounter me. Seeing my unusual appearance and ugly features, he took me as his disciple and taught me his medical skills."

"In these chaotic times, the Great Wu Qi has dissipated. My master left you deep within Dongran Lake to travel the world with me, healing the people and searching for medicinal herbs. Once we find them, we will return to the lake to awaken you."

Li Xian spoke with great emotion. Zhao Zaizai, "Why not send me back to Profound Dao Mountain? My elders there will surely find a way to help."

Li Xian sneered, "Are you saying that my Ghost Doctor Lineage's medical skills are inferior to those of your Profound Dao Mountain?"

Zhao Zaizai was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Since I've begged the Ghost Doctor for help, how can I switch doctors halfway through? That's indeed very inappropriate and disrespectful to the Ghost Doctor! But—but—this person speaks in a strange and sarcastic tone, and is incredibly impatient." He cupped his hands and said, "I absolutely did not mean that. It's just that I'm clumsy with words. Please don't take offense."

Li Xian said calmly, "It's good that you know." Zhao Zaizai's beautiful eyes were filled with resentment, and her red lips were tightly pursed. Li Xian continued, "Getting back to the point, over the years, in search of the precious medicine, my master and I have traveled all over the country, and our worn-out shoes have piled up like mountains. We have saved hundreds and thousands of people."

Zhao Ranran exclaimed in a deep voice, "The Ghost-Faced Bodhisattva is truly deserving!" Li Xian sneered, "Why do you need to say that?"

Zhao Zaizai's cheeks were flushed beneath her veil, her breathing slightly rapid, and she was suppressing her anger. She thought, "This Ghost Doctor seems to dislike me? Wherever I go, people are always respectful. This is the first time I've been looked down upon. Oh well, the Ghost Doctor has always been eccentric. He has been kind to me, so I won't hold it against him." She listened quietly.

Li Xian continued, "It was precisely during this journey through the world that we witnessed the terror of a chaotic era. Countless heroes also emerged during this time. Among them, the most outstanding were—" He paused deliberately.

If Zhao Yingying had thought quietly, she could have noticed many flaws. But Li Xian constantly stirred her emotions, aroused her curiosity, and distracted her, making it impossible for her to concentrate and leading her by the nose. This secretly conformed to the unique skill of "Ghost Speech Disease-Dispelling".

Zhao Ranran asked, "Who is it?" Li Xian, whose knowledge was somewhat limited, quickly replied, "It must be Taishu Chunfeng!"

Zhao Ran hesitated for a moment and then said, "It is Ji Yuan." He was the Golden Boy of Profound Dao Mountain, named Taishu Chunfeng, who was given the courtesy name "Ji Yuan" after coming of age.

Li Xian clapped her hands and said, "Yes, it's Ji Yuan. He's quite good." Zhao Zaizai clenched her fists, thinking that she had been in a coma for three years, which meant she was three years behind. She was always proud and could not accept this right away.

Zhao Zaizai thought, "What if it's three years? The martial arts path is vast; three years is but a ripple. I will catch up." He asked again eagerly.

Li Xian said, "Now, let's talk about Ji Yuan. He was truly a dragon among dragons and a phoenix among phoenixes. After his birth, he created many legends, but whenever people mention him, they inevitably talk about you. They all sigh with regret."

"After you fell into a coma, Profound Dao Mountain, the Nangong Clan, the Bian Clan —many Lineage in total—sent people into the lake to search for you. By then, the Water Altar had been destroyed, and all the Flower Thief had been captured, but their predicament remained. What was even more terrifying than their predicament was the mysteries deep within Dongran Lake. It was a place of countless mysteries and wonders. After several fruitless attempts, they gradually gave up."

"It is said that golden boys and jade maidens are always a perfect pair, but this time the golden boy is the only one to shine, while the jade maiden has vanished without a trace in the lake. The golden boy is undoubtedly glorious, but he cannot help but feel lonely. Many forces have been searching for him for a long time without success, so they have dispatched Nangong Xuanming, Bian Chengfeng, and others to be stationed at Dongran Lake. If they cannot find you, they will never be allowed to set foot on the shore again."

"Look at that mountain."

Li Xian casually pointed to a high mountain in the middle of a lake. Zhao Zaizai looked in that direction and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Xian sighed, "Look at that graceful mountain, doesn't it resemble a woman with flowing skirts and fluttering silk ribbons, her dance breathtaking? This mountain is called Jade Maiden Peak," and there is an inscription on the peak in your memory.

The inscription on the tombstone says that there was a woman Zhao Clan, whose beauty was breathtaking, but Heaven was jealous of her and caused her to die young.

He then fabricated a story on the spot, saying, "There is a Jade Maiden Temple on Jade Maiden Peak to commemorate your achievements. Although it is just a small matter, it pales in comparison to the Golden Boy's grand ambitions and is not worth mentioning."

Zhao Ranran fell silent, a profound sense of loss welling up within her, a feeling beyond words, a profound loneliness and sorrow rising within her. Li Xian, not wanting to miss an opportunity to stir things up, said, "Bian Qiaoqiao is already married. Nangong Xuanming and Bian Chengfeng, rejected by their Lineage, are filled with grief. The two have gradually developed feelings for each other and secretly pledged their lives to one another on Jade Maiden Peak."

Zhao Ranran suddenly choked, asking strangely, "Is this really true?" Li Xian said, "Why would I lie to you? Bian Bianyun and Nangong Wuwang, who once traveled with you, are also entangled in complicated matters. They suffered too much trauma and were ordered never to land again, drifting aimlessly in Dongran Lake. It's perfectly normal for their mutual sympathy to turn into this."

Zhao Ran nodded seriously again. "When people face dramatic changes, their temperament may change. What you said does make some sense."

Li Xian pointed out the window and said with feigned melancholy, "It's spring again." Zhao Ranran sighed deeply, staring blankly at the spring lake, her mind scattered and her emotions complex.

Li Xian said, "Every spring, they would go boating on the lake to reminisce, scattering flower petals and lotus root cakes on the surface—"

Zhao Ranran asked, "Why is that?"

Li Xian said, "It was to pay homage to you. Your sudden disappearance left them feeling guilty, and they all became lonely ghosts in the lake."

Zhao Zaizai, "I never imagined that in just three short years, things would have changed so much—the world has turned upside down, and everything is different now." His eyes even welled up with tears.

Li Xian handed over a handkerchief and said, "Fortunately, my Ghost Doctor Lineage has already revived you. Let bygones be bygones, and there's no need to dwell on the past. You have been reborn, and you still have a place in this martial world. May you bring blessings to the people."

Zhao Zaizai thought to himself, "He actually said something sensible, and even offered some comfort." He cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you." Looking at the handkerchief offered to him, he hesitated. If he didn't take it, he was afraid Li Xian would insult him; if he did, he felt it was inappropriate.

She suddenly noticed Li Xian frowning. Gently taking the handkerchief, she felt awkward and asked again, "After I fell unconscious, did Ji Yuan come to Dongran Lake?"

Li Xian thought to herself, "Golden boys and jade girls have always been a perfect match; she's showing concern for her lover." Full of wicked thoughts, she said, "He's already married."

Zhao Zaizai frowned and said, "That's absolutely impossible." Li Xian said, "How can you predict the course of events? Could you have foreseen that you would sleep for three years? You could never have imagined that Ji Yuan's wife would be Bian Qiaoqiao."

Zhao Ying exclaimed again, "Qiao Mei?" Li Xian nodded and said, "As I said before, she is already married. She married Ji Yuan."

"Don't be sad. Besides Golden Boy, there are plenty of handsome men in the world. You can always get married."

Zhao Zaizai said in a deep voice, "Enough! Although you saved me, your words were frivolous and somewhat impolite—" Forcing himself to remain calm, he cupped his hands and said, "Golden Boy and I have only a shallow relationship and no romantic connection. How could I marry so casually for him? It's just that Profound Dao Mountain has always regarded our relationship as a perfect match. If anyone in this world could be a match for me, it would most likely be Golden Boy. Therefore, I was shocked to hear that he had already married."

Li Xian said, "I see. My words were inappropriate. I apologize."

Zhao Zaizai asked in surprise, "You actually apologized?" Li Xian replied, "Can't I be reasonable?" Zhao Zaizai shook his head and said, "If you hadn't been so sarcastic, we could have had a proper conversation."

Seeing that his deception had worked, Li Xian went along with it, saying, "Alright, I've said what I needed to say. You just need to eat a couple of bites, and then—" There was no island to be seen, but Li Xian's intention to get rid of him was firm. Pointing to a lotus flower, he said, "Get down right there—"

Suddenly, a cheerful cry was heard. Zhao Zaizai's face lit up with joy, and he immediately ran out of the courtyard. He saw the Pure Jade Divine Bird circling high in the sky, chirping merrily.

Zhao Ran smiled again, "Little Pure!" The Pure Jade Divine Bird circled for a long time before slowly descending and landing on Zhao Zaiying's fingertips. Zhao Zaizai gently stroked the bird's down, her eyes filled with melancholy, and remained silent for a moment. The Pure Jade Divine Bird called out affectionately and rubbed its head against her hand, extremely happy.

turn out to be----

As soon as Zhao Ranran awoke, she whistled, summoning the Pure Jade Divine Bird. The Divine Bird was truly miraculous, and actually came following the sound. Zhao Zairan returned to the table, and the Divine Bird perched on her shoulder.

The Jade Maiden Divine Bird complement each other, making the Mayfly Abode the shimmering pavilion shine even brighter. The Pure Jade Divine Bird was enjoying herself when suddenly she froze, her white feathers standing on end. Her body trembled slightly.

Zhao Zaizai and asked, "Little Pure, what's wrong?" Sensing the extreme fear of the Pure Jade Divine Bird, she panicked for a moment, gently trying to soothe it, but to no avail. Suddenly noticing Li Xian, she quickly said, "Ghost Doctor, your medical skills are profound; please take a look at Little Pure. It is the Pure Jade Divine Bird, favored by Heaven."

Li Xian said calmly, "Although I am Ghost Doctor, I am still a novice. I can barely treat humans, let alone birds and beasts—that would be extremely difficult."

Taking the opportunity, Li Xian said, "But—I know that in the southwest direction of Dongran Lake, there is a doctor who specializes in treating birds and beasts. If you are in a hurry, please go there to be treated as soon as possible."

Zhao Ran nodded again and said, "Alright, please sail there." Li Xian said, "I meant for you to go by yourself. I have other important matters to attend to and cannot accompany you."

Zhao Zaizai pursed her red lips. She was always quick to help, and this repeated mockery and rejection made her feel very uncomfortable. However, remembering the life-saving grace, she couldn't truly be angry. She said softly, "But I don't know the directions—"

Li Xian said, "Go to Fool's Town and Foolish Pig Alley, and find a man named Jin Sankou. Even my master praises his medical skills."

Zhao Zaizai stroked the Pure Jade Divine Bird, seeing it tremble more violently and unable to linger any longer, she said without thinking of anything else, "Alright, farewell." She used her light footwork to walk on the water and disappeared into the distance.

Li Xian watched for a moment, then immediately went to the back of the Mayfly Abode and used his sword to swiftly paddle through the water. He thought to himself, "I was just spouting nonsense; I'll be found out sooner or later. Who knew that escaping one wolf's mouth would lead to another tiger's, and escaping another tiger's mouth only to fall into another wolf's? That Zhao Zaizai is naturally at odds with me. I'll take this opportunity to escape as far as I can. It's far better than hiding in this predicament again!"

Suddenly, a whooshing sound was heard. Li Xian looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhao Yingran returning, gracefully heading towards the Mayfly Abode. Li Xian frowned. "Zhao Zaizai departures and returns, could it be that she has sensed something amiss? Is she immediately coming back for revenge? I am Second Realm martial artist, already restrained in the lake, and now without any predicament here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with her!"

Then I thought, "Even if she notices something, she'll only be suspicious. If I show any abnormality and hastily flee, that would be giving myself away. The most important thing right now is to remain calm and deal with the situation as it comes.

He immediately returned to the table, pretending to pick up some food. The Mayfly Abode swayed slightly, Zhao Zaizai returned, his cheeks slightly flushed, awkwardly asking, "Brother Ghost Doctor, do you have a boat?"

She traversed the lake with graceful speed, but gazing at its vast expanse, it seemed impossible to cross in one breath. Being very sensitive and concerned with her image, she had intended to find a rocky island in the lake to stand on and wait for passing boats. However, worried about Pure Jade Divine Bird's strange illness, she had no choice but to reluctantly borrow a boat.

Li Xian calmly said, "Yes, you can take it yourself." Zhao Zaizai, "Thank you." He turned and left, took down the boat, and walked across the lake.

Li Xian watched the boat sail away. Seeing it disappear into the distance, he felt a slight sense of relief. A moment later, he suddenly saw the boat returning at an extremely fast speed. He cursed inwardly, "That bastard is playing me for a fool!"

He then sat back down at the table, pretending to eat.

It turned out that whenever Zhao Zaizai left the Mayfly Abode, a strange feeling would always linger in his heart, as if he shouldn't leave so easily. But he couldn't quite put his finger on it. After some hesitation, he sent it back.

Li Xian said, "What? Did you forget to take something?"

Zhao Ran then said, "No, that's not it—" Li Xian said, "Since that's not the case, why isn't your Divine Bird trembling so badly, why don't you go and find a doctor?"

The Pure Jade Divine Bird, which had initially shown some relief, immediately resumed its uncontrollable trembling. Zhao Yingying's vague sense of unease transformed into anxiety and worry. She thought, "Although I feel a strange unease about leaving like this, as if I've missed something very important, Little Pure's inexplicable terror necessitates immediate medical attention. I can investigate this strange feeling with him later, but for now, I should try to find out the cause."

He said, "Brother Ghost Doctor, I am deeply grateful for your saving me. I, Zhao Zaizai, am by no means an ungrateful person. Why don't you take off your mask, and I will seek revenge for you in the future."

Li Xian said, "No need." Zhao Zaizai felt even more strange, stepped forward, and stared intently at him, saying, "Brother Ghost Doctor, is there something you're having trouble saying?"

Li Xian said, "I am ugly, and if I take off my mask, I'm afraid it will frighten you." Zhao Zaizai said, "Zizai already knows this; all the Ghost Doctor throughout history have done so. Ghost Doctor are famous for their medical skills, so why should they be concerned about their appearance? Besides—as far as I know, Ghost Doctor throughout history have never concealed their faces. Why is it that you, Brother Ghost Doctor, are hiding your face like this?"

Li Xian thought to himself, "This goddess is becoming more lucid, and she is indeed gradually discovering my flaws. I need to find a way to get rid of her quickly, because the more time passes, the more flaws she will reveal." He then said, "My face is fifty percent uglier than my master's. One glance at it will make me vomit, and three glances will make me faint. If you insist on seeing it, it's not impossible."

Zhao Ran thought to herself, "If he's this ugly, I'd really like to see him."

Li Xian put down her chopsticks and said to Zhao Zaizai, "You also wear a light veil to cover your face, yet you ask me to remove my mask. This is rather inappropriate. Why don't we both remove our masks at the same time and show our true faces?"

Zhao Zaizai said, "Alright! Then let's face each other frankly." He sat back down at the table, his eyes fixed on Li Xian, and made a gesture as if to remove his veil.

Li Xian smiled faintly, "To risk my life to accompany you, young lady, is the best thing I could do." Calm and composed, he raised his hand to remove his mask.

Zhao Zaizai thought to himself, "This person is calm and composed, unfazed by threats; there must be nothing wrong with him." His suspicions eased slightly, and he paused, saying, "I'm sorry! I won't remove the veil now. I'll find another way to repay your kindness in the future."

She sailed away again. Li Xian watched her go for a long time, but she didn't return. He dared not delay and muttered, "When Zhao Ranran realizes what's going on, she will definitely come back. It will be difficult to deal with her then. The Mayfly Abode is too big and too obvious. I need to abandon the residence and escape, using a feint attack."

He quickly gathered his belongings, stepped onto the Black Boat, and stomped on it forcefully, causing ripples to spread, but the Black Boat remained unharmed. The depths of Dongran Lake were treacherous and unpredictable, filled with countless reefs, strange forests, and turbulent currents. This Black Boat, forged by the "Su Fuyou," had been navigating the deep for many years. Its unique material made it sturdy and durable, far superior to the "Floating Iron Boat." Li Xian stood in the boat, gazing at Mayfly Abode, and murmured, "Master has departed, and there's nothing left of Mayfly Abode to cherish. However, as master and disciple, this boat was left behind by Master, and I should have taken good care of it. But that vengeful female ghost won't leave, repeatedly haunting me, causing me endless annoyance. Forced by circumstances, I had no choice but to abandon it halfway; survival was paramount. I hope Master will not blame me."

They rowed Black Boat and fled far away.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After Zhao Ran drove several miles away from the Mayfly Abode, the Pure Jade Divine Bird's condition gradually stabilized. Zhao Zaizai gently stroked the bird's down and sighed, "I have been asleep for three years, and I don't know what strange illness you suffered from. Sometimes you trembled incessantly, and sometimes you were perfectly fine."

The Pure Jade Divine Bird called out softly a few times. Zhao Zaiying said, "You don't have any strange illness, you're just afraid?" The Pure Jade Divine Bird nodded gently.

Suddenly, a clear voice called out, "Sister Zai Zai! It really is you! Thank goodness, you're alright!"

A Boat Guild from afar, with Nangong Xuanming, Nangong Wuwang, Kabianyun, Bian Chengfeng, Bian Qiaoqiao, and Taishu Yuzhu standing on its deck.

Su Lan Feng and the others. Zhao Zaizai and leaped back onto the deck.

Seeing everyone's haggard faces, and remembering Li Xian's words that "three years" had passed, she didn't doubt it for a moment. She cupped her hands and said, "Everyone, it's been a long time. I'm so sorry to have troubled you all by searching for so long."

Taishu Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Bian Qiaoqiao wiped away her tears and said, "Sister Zai Zai, you disappeared without a trace, and we all thought you... you... would never come back!"

Nangong Wuwang said, "Fortunately, we escaped unharmed; the trip was worthwhile."

Zhao Zaizai they must have been worried sick for a long time, unable to eat or sleep properly. He felt deeply apologetic and thought to himself, "Although my long sleep in the lake was an accident, it was because of me that I caused these people to be stationed there, unable to return home. Now that I have recovered, I should do my best to make amends."

She looked at Nangong Xuanming and Bian Chengfeng, seeing them standing side by side, and thought, "The nature of homosexuality... is hardly respectable, but the mistake has been made, and I can only grant it. My status is special, and though I am young, I have some influence to do so." She said in a deep voice, "Brother Xuanming, Brother Riding the Wind, I already know of your private engagement. After this matter is over, I will recommend you two for marriage. Seeing your True Intention, the Nangong Clan and Bian Clan will surely not refuse."

She pondered for a moment and said, "But who will be the husband and who will be the concubine is something you two need to discuss yourselves."

Everyone stared wide-eyed. Nangong Wuwang, Kabianyun, Bian Qiaoqiao, Taishu Yuzhu, Su Lan Feng, and others immediately turned to look. Seeing Zhao Zaizai's serious expression and earnest demeanor, it seemed he wasn't joking. Then, looking at Nangong Xuanming and Bian Chengfeng, Zi Guang immediately became strange and uneasily sizing them up repeatedly.

Nangong Xuanming and Bian Chengfeng exchanged bewildered glances. Zhao Yingying, just waking from a dream, was still confused and unable to comprehend the situation. She felt that the two were exchanging glances, and despite feeling extremely disgusted, she still said, "Don't worry, since your relationship started because of me, I will sort it out myself."

Nangong Xuanming said, "This... Miss Zhao, could there be something going on here...?"

Bian Qiaoqiao said shyly, "Sister Zai Zai, why are you trying to set them up?"

Zhao Zaizai said earnestly, "It was fate that brought us together, Non-Self doing. Qiaoqiao... your marriage to Ji Yuan is a very good match. But you need to practice Uncut Jade Sword Technique of my lineage to you when you return to the sect."

Bian Qiaoqiao blushed deeply, stamped her foot, and said, "Sister Zai Zai, what nonsense are you talking about!" Extremely embarrassed, she ran away.

Nangong Wuwang, Bian Bianyun, and the others, upon hearing this earth-shattering news, were filled with curiosity. They knew that Zhao Yingying's words were as good as mountains, and she would never speak carelessly. If she spoke, there must be truth to it. If Nangong Xuanming, Bian Chengfeng, and the others refused again, it would be empty talk and they would find it even more difficult to explain.

Zhao Zaizai solemnly added, "And Nangong Wuwang Bian Bianyun." The two men's hearts skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding washing over them. They both replied, "Please speak, Miss Zhao."

Zhao Zaizai's cheeks flushed slightly. She was still young, yet she was so eager to arrange marriages, especially those for the Double Ninth Festival, which struck her as odd. But considering her status as Jade Maiden, she felt she should be responsible, loving, and strive for perfection. So she said, "I remember you two already have families. How could this happen...? Never mind, never mind. The ancients said that love is often unavoidable, and this must be true. Perhaps the Nangong Clan and Bian Clan families are very compatible, having produced two couples. If you two are willing to become one family after you return, you can both take care of your wives and concubines and become a couple. For the Nangong Clan and Bian Clan, this would be another marriage alliance."

After she finished speaking, she pursed her red lips tightly, realizing that her words had been Startling Thunder, and felt embarrassed and uneasy.
