On second thought, Hua realized that those people had given him everything from flowers to planets. What hadn't they tried?
Was her Guardian the sort of person who was easy to win over?
Of course not.
When he served as the Xianzhou Marshal, going out once a year-no, once a decade-could already be considered frequent.
And given her Guardian's status, she could count on one hand the eligible women qualified to meet him.
The moment anyone showed even the slightest romantic interest in him... that was the end of it.
Either their application to enter the Xianzhou would be rejected, or members of the Sky-Faring Commission would persuade them to leave after they arrived on the Yaoqing.
In short, the two would never meet again for the rest of their lives.
Her Guardian seemed to believe that all his suitors were after his power, not him.
So he rejected every one of them without mercy.
Looking at it another way... Akivili had been absolutely right!
So he really did have unrealistic fantasies about love?!
You've seen all the ugliness of human nature... and you're still an idealist searching for perfect love?!
Hua stared unblinkingly at Xianyu with a strange expression.
Puzzled, Xianyu asked, "What's wrong?"
Hua slowly shook her head.
"No, nothing."
"I just think... your standards for a partner are rather high."
Materially, her Guardian wanted for nothing.
That meant external things were never going to move him.
Only the purest sincerity and goodwill could catch his attention.
Jingliu happened to fit that description perfectly.
When they met, her Guardian had been an ordinary Diviner with no memories of his past, so he hadn't regarded Jingliu as someone of a younger generation.
After spending some time with her, he had begun to take their relationship seriously and examine it.
