But what Qin Fangyang said was, "General Peerless Blade, Tie Mengru?"
Yet there was no doubt that they were talking about the same person!
Ye Changqing smiled faintly. "That's right, that very man. Because this matter was exceptionally secret, and even involved a transaction with the Witch Alliance's upper ranks, very few knew about it. Marshal Dongfang even issued a gag order over it back then... but the marriage between the White-Haired Celestial Fairy, Shan Xiaoru, and Young Master Absolute Blade, Tie Mengru, is a nailed-down fact beyond all doubt!"
Qin Fangyang drew a deep breath. His face suddenly flushed crimson, and for a moment, he even felt dizzy.
He stammered, "P-Principal Ye... what you mean is..."
Ye Changqing smiled. "Teacher Qin, I heard that after Former Principal He passed away, an expert made arrangements... at least, in my opinion... the day of reunion for you Worthy Couple... is by no means beyond hope."
Qin Fangyang seized Ye Changqing's hand. His breathing grew even more rapid, his eyes reddened, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
After a long, long while, he suddenly stood up, raised a cup of wine, and said softly, yet with gratitude reaching its utmost, "Principal Ye, I... offer you a toast!"
The true intent behind Ye Changqing's words was naturally to comfort Qin Fangyang.
But they also indirectly revealed that Ye Changqing had already learned every minute detail of everything that had happened in Phoenix City back then!
Ye Changqing stood, clinked his cup against Qin Fangyang's, and drained it. He said softly, "We all hope this will come true... but although there is a precedent for this sort of thing, until it actually happens, we cannot be certain. Still... the hope really is substantial."
Qin Fangyang took a deep breath. "I understand. I won't give up."
