Disguised as a member of a faction affiliated with the Covering Moon Sect, Han Li entered the sect to lend a hand and successfully found Nangong Wan's residence.
Neither felt awkward when they met. Instead, they quickly poured out their feelings and confirmed their relationship. Han Li had already reached early nascent soul, which pleased Nangong Wan greatly. She felt that her first man had done her proud and had not disappointed her. As for Han Li's character, temperament, and the like, she did not care.
Once Han Li was certain Nangong Wan had feelings for him, he had no reason to reject her. Nangong Wan was a great beauty, and they had shared their first fleeting affair together. Besides, he had no particular aspirations when it came to love. Believing that a man ought to take responsibility for his woman, he was naturally willing to elope with her.
There was, however, one remaining problem: the Heart-Trapping Technique.
To prevent her junior sister from running away, Nangong Que had placed numerous restrictions on her. After Nangong Wan's cultivation advanced, all the other restrictions had lost their effect, leaving only the Heart-Trapping Technique.
"I originally planned to get more than a hundred li away before the ceremony and leave the Heart-Trapping Technique's range. Now, it would be better to retrieve its jade token," Nangong Wan said. "I heard you defeated a nascent soul magician with ease. You must have a few tricks up your sleeve."
Han Li had no objection, but he still asked, "Other than destroying the token, is there really no simpler way to break it?"
"If you can't do it, forget it. At worst, I'll leave the Covering Moon Sect and spend a few decades slowly refining it away," Nangong Wan said, retreating in order to advance.
