After explaining his condition, Su Ziyang sat down.

After Fairy Li returned, she didn't spend any quality time with Su Ziyang.

He then returned to his master's sect to report back.

Fairy Li didn't say what it was about, and Su Ziyang didn't ask either.

Mr. Mengfei said he had something to attend to and temporarily left.

That evening, Su Ziyang sat on the futon in a daze. At this moment, Su Ziyang was not thinking about anything else, but about his life's most important matter.

Before leaving, Mr. Mengfei gave Su Ziyang a suggestion.

"Silly disciple, how long are you going to keep Fairy Li waiting?"

Mr. Mengfei's words startled Su Ziyang.

It took Su Ziyang three or four seconds to understand what Mr. Mengfei meant.

"You need to take the initiative! You're not expecting Fairy Li to propose to you. Think about it yourself. Anyway, it's natural for men and women to marry when they're of age. You're about time!"

Mr. Mengfei's words kept echoing in Su Ziyang's mind.

After thinking for a long time, Su Ziyang finally couldn't take it anymore and took out his phone to call his father.

After Su Ziyang finished speaking, Su Ziyang father breathed a sigh of relief, "Son, you've finally done something worthwhile."

When you tell your parents about something like this, they'll definitely take it to heart.

Su Ziyang's mother was so excited that she couldn't sleep for half the night.

After hanging up the phone, Su Ziyang contacted Er Biao, who hadn't been heard from in a long time.

"Holy crap, you're still awake, bro!"

Er Biao speaks only of traditional Chinese culture.

"You weren't asleep either, what are you doing, Brother Biao?"

Su Ziyang asked a question.

"Hey, I just got home from the store. I just finished showering when you called."

In the video, Er Biao looked noticeably thinner than before.

"You're doing great, Brother Biao! You've been so busy! You're all tired, your cheeks are hunched."

Su Ziyang said with a smile.

"That's for sure! With the old lady's skills and your help, they're getting better and better. Sometimes when I'm too busy, I'm thinking of finding another apprentice, paying them a little something, to help me with some chores!"

Su Ziyang didn't expect that, not long afterward, Er Biao was already preparing to recruit people.

"I'll become your apprentice!"

Su Ziyang made a joke.

"Get lost! I have to treat you like dirt now that you're here. What do you want?"

Er Biao laughed and cursed.

"There is indeed something I need your help with, my Bones."

"Speak!"

When Er Biao heard Su Ziyang call him a cunning strategist, he stroked his chin, squinted his eyes, and shook his head as he spoke.

"Well... I'm planning to propose, but my boyfriend is away and won't be back until the day after tomorrow. I need to find a couple of people to help with the setup! Any ideas?"

After Su Ziyang finished speaking, Er Biao, who had been lying on the bed, suddenly jumped up.

"Holy crap! Fine! You wait, I'll finish treating my patients tomorrow and be there by tomorrow night, okay?!"

Watching Er Biao's excitement in the video, Su Ziyang helplessly scratched his head. "Brother Biao, why do I feel like you're even more excited than me?"

"Damn, my brother proposed! How could I not be happy?! I'll be there tomorrow!"

"All done!"

Su Ziyang sought out Er Biao for planning because Er Biao was skilled at it.

After all, this guy had orchestrated numerous medical disputes.

While medical disputes are not a good thing, they do require strong organizational and planning skills.

The next day at work, Su Ziyang ran into Daoist Master Xiao Yang Daoist Master Xiao Yang told him about it.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Master Xiao Yang was even more excited than Er Biao, jumping up and down with excitement.

Then he readily agreed to help Su Ziyang "stir things up".

So Su Ziyang has been frequently inquiring about the exact time when Fairy Li will return these past two days.

I don't know if it's because the signal is bad on the mountain, but Fairy Li always replies to messages very slowly.

Fortunately, Su Ziyang finally learned the exact time when Fairy Li would return.

It will definitely arrive the day after tomorrow afternoon.

Before evening, Er Biao had already arrived, along with the excited Daoist Master Xiao Yang.

"Brother! On the train here, I wrote down a simple procedure for you, take a look?"

Er Biao took out a piece of white paper from his backpack. The paper was covered with many small characters.

"Brother Biao! You truly deserve to be called the mastermind behind this medical malpractice incident! You're so meticulous!!"

Su Ziyang looked at the plan on the blank paper and gave Er Biao a thumbs up.

"Get lost! I've put so much effort into this for you, and you're still trying to seduce me! See if this works out, and if not, we'll fix it and get started!"

After Er Biao finished speaking, he sat down in a chair and began to drink water.

Su Ziyang and Daoist Master Xiao Yang began to examine Er Biao's plan.

Ten minutes later, Er Biao's plan was unanimously approved.

The first step is to buy a ring.

A proposal requires a ring. This ring doesn't have to be a particularly expensive diamond ring like those used for weddings, but it shouldn't be too cheap either.

"Brother Biao, I can do this at home. I already have the ring."

Su Ziyang took out a brocade box from a storage cabinet.

Inside the brocade box was a solid gold ring with a slipknot, set with an aquamarine.

Such pure aquamarine???

Daoist Master Xiao Yang clearly knew his stuff better than Er Biao, and exclaimed in surprise when he saw the item Su Ziyang took out.

"Ah! Master Jin left this for me, to deliver to Fairy Li, but I haven't had a chance yet!"

Su Ziyang then explained the origin of the ring.

"Alright, since this thing is awesome, let's use it!"

Er Biao nodded, signaling Su Ziyang to put the things away.

The second step is to tidy up the house and arrange things. Flowers are essential, but they must be ordered on the same day, so this can be postponed for now.

After cleaning the house, Su Ziyang and Er Biao went to a department store and bought balloons, colored paper, and other decorations, and began decorating the house.

After a day of hard work, the house finally looked somewhat presentable.

"Okay! That's all for today. Order the flowers first thing tomorrow morning, so as not to delay things. We'll also design a little surprise at the entrance, so flower petals scatter as soon as you open the door, okay?"

"OK!"

Nothing more was said that night...

The next morning, before Su Ziyang had even eaten breakfast, he contacted a florist and ordered flowers.

As the time for Fairy Li's return drew closer, Su Ziyang began to feel increasingly restless.

"I'm so nervous!"

Er Biao sat to the side and said with a smile.

How can I not be nervous?!

Su Ziyang rolled his eyes at Er Biao, who was smirking.

Daoist Master Xiao Yang volunteered to squat in the porch on the top floor. As soon as Fairy Li entered the community, he immediately informed her, and then the group began preparations.

Fairy Li has an extremely accurate grasp of time; if she says she'll arrive at three o'clock, she'll definitely arrive at three o'clock, without the slightest delay.

Sure enough, Fairy Li's car appeared precisely in the residential area.

Daoist Master Xiao Yang rushed down to deliver the news.

Su Ziyang stood in the room, his palms sweaty, he was a little too nervous.

"Damn, relax, relax!"

Er Biao kept saying, "You two have been together for so long, what are you so nervous about?"

"I'm not nervous, just a little uneasy!"
