The entire hall fell silent.
Time seemed to freeze. No one spoke.
After a long moment, a woman cried out in delight. No one knew which Myriad Phenomena Hall disciple she was.
"How beautiful! Senior Brother Qin is proposing to Senior Sister Mu!"

"That's right, Senior Sister Mu! Say yes!"
"Get married!"
No one knew who first shouted "Get married," but in an instant...

Mu Ziqing was stunned. She knew Qin Hao's plan, of course, but she had never imagined... he would be bold enough to propose to her in front of so many people.
Yet more than anything, a sweetness rose unbidden in her heart. Qin Hao had proposed to her of his own accord before all
