As he studied the refined, jade-like Qian Renxue in the distance, a line surfaced involuntarily in Tang Xiao's mind.
A gentleman was like jade by the roadside, unparalleled in all the world.
At least in terms of appearance, he was far superior to rough men like them, who had been farming in the mountains ever since the Clear Sky Sect sealed itself away.
Tang Xiao even found himself entertaining the thought that perhaps marrying his younger sister, Tang Yuehua, to him would not be a bad choice.
"Sect Master Tang, may I ask what business you have with me?" Qian Renxue asked directly.
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Tang Xiao immediately came back to his senses and remembered why he had come to see her.
He promptly said, "I hope Your Highness will withdraw your decision to marry Tang Yuehua of our Clear Sky Sect."
"Oh?"
Although Jiang Li had informed her beforehand that Tang Xiao would be coming to see her,
she had already guessed that he had either come for the Clear Sky Sect or for his younger sister, Tang Yuehua.
Still, when Tang Xiao truly said that he had come for Tang Yuehua, Qian Renxue could not help feeling a trace of surprise.
But it was only a trace.
Back then, after Tang Hao killed the previous pope of Spirit Hall, Tang Xiao had sheltered Tang Hao and decided to seal the sect.
Therefore, it was hardly surprising that he would stand before her today and speak up for Tang Yuehua.
"You wish for me to withdraw this decision rather than directly reject me?"
Qian Renxue nevertheless asked Tang Xiao with some curiosity, "Interesting."
Tang Xiao had not expected Qian Renxue to extract the truth from his words so quickly.
This undoubtedly put him at a disadvantage.
