Chapter 7, The Masked Man, The Couple

I said sternly with a serious expression: "Let go of me now." In fact, at this moment, I was severely lacking in courage, a typical paper tiger, my voice trembling slightly, my heart racing as if it would leap out of my chest. This was the first time I had been held by a man, and that hand immediately felt as if it no longer belonged to me, burning hot.

He chuckled softly in my ear: "Color | Color, from now on we will be a harmonious couple like the river and the sky."

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and I shouted loudly behind him in a show of bravado: "Master, save me!"

Upon reaching the entrance of the Bamboo Courtyard, Jiang Chen halted his steps and said: "I will go next door to borrow a piece of clothing from Master Yu, you wait for me in the room."

He sat down next to me, tilted his head and said, "Didn’t you say yesterday that if I were to keep the little princess occupied for half an hour, you would thank me?"

It seems he does not believe that I am penniless. I had no choice but to tear off a piece of my sleeve and throw it over. He glanced at the pocket in the sleeve, and indeed it was completely empty

He came up and stood beside me, so I quickly moved aside. He took two more steps forward, and I moved again, but in the end, my lower back was pressed against the table, and I could not move any further.

I say nothing, regretting it. Why did I call myself Yunmo? To be honest, it was not my choice but his coercion.

Yun Zhou stood right behind the master, and my gaze repeatedly fell on the master's shoulder. I wanted to shift back a little, but it felt as if I were frozen in place, unable to move an inch.

The masked man's martial arts were not weak, but I had severed a section of his long sword. Soon, Jiang Chen had him cornered by the stream. He seemed to have lost the will to fight and intended to withdraw. Jiang Chen's long sword blocked his escape route. In his helplessness, he surprisingly executed lightness skills, quickly stepping several times on the surface of the stream, and then leaping several times along the stream, disappearing into the woods of the back mountain.

In Master Yuanzhao's room sat several friends from the jianghu. After the master greeted them, he cheerfully presented me with a gift: "Xiao Mo, this is your coming-of-age gift, do not think it is late."

No wonder the young princess immediately sounded the retreat when she saw Jiang Chen coming out of my room, and no wonder she said such a thing to Yun Zhou

At this moment, I finally understand why Shaolin has the Lion's Roar skill. In critical moments, it can not only stun the enemy but also attract rescue. Even if there is no rescue, it can still intimidate the opponent

The tip of the sword was originally aimed at the back of my neck. I suddenly rose, and the force of the sword was like a thunderbolt, making it difficult to retract in time, transforming into a thrust aimed at my waist

He moved closer and softly whispered in my ear: "Xiao Mo, rest assured, I am only flirtatious with you"

"Very well, the Xiaoyao Sect has not had a single joyous event in twenty years. This time, my uncle will surely present you with a grand gift."

I shifted to one side and said resentfully, "You still say that it is all because of you that I offended her, and that I ended up in the situation of marrying you."

Nonsense, I naturally have it.

He squinted his eyes and smiled, saying: "Xiao Mo, I have discovered that you and I are truly fated to be together"

Jiang Chen watched the direction in which the masked man had gone, his expression cold and serious, with tightly pressed lips

I took a deep breath, and with each step feeling as if I were carrying a thousand pounds, I slowly walked to the window. Through the begonia flowers, through the window frame, through the mundane identities, and through the love and hidden pain that can never be expressed, I forced a smile at him. I do not know whether this smile is forced or natural; I only know that when I smile, my heart feels as if it is being tugged by a string, causing a sharp pain.

Unexpectedly, the tip of the sword swept and pointed at my heart

I stood there in a daze, as if half of my soul had been startled away

Color | Color? You are the one with color! I slapped his hand away with a loud sound and indignantly said: "Hmph, how naive of you to think that."

Are you hurt? His urgency and concern, anxiety and worry, fell heavily like a drop of thick ink on a clean piece of rice paper, causing chaos and spreading in my heart. I was momentarily stunned and dazed; he cares for me, but is this the kind of care that I desire?

Throw everything you have on you out

He turned back to glance at me a few times and said, "If you are here, how can I pursue?"

He grabbed my wrist tightly, like a metal clamp, and gritted his teeth, saying: "Xiao Mo, you really know how to infuriate people, you really do!"

Jiang Chen further stated, "Moreover, I have previously written a letter mentioning you, saying that you are excellent"

I was reflecting on myself while facing the stream when suddenly, a few green leaves fell into the water. At that moment, there was no wind, nor was it the season for leaves to fall. Why did the perfectly healthy green leaves suddenly drop? The alertness of a martial artist stirred something unusual in my heart, prompting me to turn around immediately.

Suddenly, a hand was placed on my shoulder again, and my heart skipped a beat. I quickly shrugged it off, and his hand fell away. Before I could catch my breath, that hand was once again resting on my waist. I felt my back stiffen, as if an iron was placed upon it, followed by countless tiny needles pricking at me, creating a tingling discomfort. Then those tiny needles began to wander all around...

I am filled with surprise; I have never found him to be so amiable and endearing

Soon, Lin Mu ran over and, upon seeing me, he was taken aback.

I once again marvel at the unpredictability of the world, life is but a dream, entangled in confusion within the confines of my room, until Jiang Chen came to knock on my door

I feel a bit embarrassed, as my attire at this moment must certainly resemble that of a beggar's guild.

The door creaked open, and Jiang Chen walked in with a beaming smile.

I felt both a sense of loss and relief in my heart as I followed everyone in a daze to bid farewell to Master Yuan Zhao

I resentfully said: "Romantic affairs." What a pretender this person is

He laughed out loud and did not stop for a while, then said: "Xiao Mo, are you feeling jealous?"

You two go ahead and have a private conversation

I understood Senior Brother Lin's meaning, and I was taken aback: "No, no!"

He was silent for a moment, and the sword slowly moved away from my neck. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief; such a failed robbery must have dealt him a heavy blow, and he would likely leave in disappointment

I timidly asked, "What is your family's background?" As soon as I mentioned the words 'family background,' I felt a pang of disappointment within myself. I wished I could also find an orphan or a discarded child, so that no one would look down on anyone else.

What will he think of me and Jiang Chen? Jiang Chen, with his charming and flirtatious demeanor, leans casually against my door, his clothes half-open, hair half-down, embodying the essence of a romantic night, with a look that suggests he has just woken up and hasn't bothered to groom himself. Meanwhile, at this moment, my senior brothers are behind him, laughing and sharing amusing stories about me and Jiang Chen.

Why haven't I heard you mention it?

The master and the senior brothers were waiting in the courtyard. Senior Brother Lin Mu smiled and said, "Xiao Mo's outfit is truly beautiful, a perfect match with Jiang Chen, both are like exquisite jade figures, indeed very well-suited for each other"

The princess has always had feelings for Young Master Yun. Yesterday, she called him over specifically to inquire about his feelings. To her surprise, Young Master Yun stated that he already has someone he likes. The princess did not believe him and insisted that he reveal the person. Left with no choice, Young Master Yun said that he likes you. It is for this reason that the princess has come to trouble you today; in fact, she has not lost anything at all. She simply wants to embarrass you in public to vent her frustrations. My princess is quite petty and has a bad temper. My sister is a good person, so I kindly ask you to keep your distance from Young Master Yun in the future; otherwise, the princess will surely cause you trouble. My sister, take care, I am leaving.

Since you are so self-satisfied with your appearance, you might as well live with yourself. I continued to pull my hand away, feeling the heat on my face

His voice was low and hurried, as if he were speaking to himself: "I thought I was fearless, but today I realize that is not the case"

If he likes me, why has he never spoken to me about it

Jiang Chen raised his long sword and responded with a sound

The longsword did not pierce my throat, but was merely rested against my neck. The cold blade pressed against my skin, sending a chilling sensation straight into my heart

The term "two people" startled my heart, and suddenly, my face felt hot. My senior brothers, valuing friendship over romance, quickly transformed my identity from junior sister to sister-in-law or younger sister-in-law, treating me with a serious demeanor and keeping their distance. Clearly, they had categorized me as Jiang Chen's partner, no longer engaging with me in a lighthearted manner.

"Do we still need to knock?" He smiled like a peony in spring, his voice as sweet as if it had been drawn from a honey pot

He suddenly embraced me tightly in his arms

Although this is not the only reason, it is indeed an important one. I have never liked to seize things; I prefer what falls from the sky, what is given by heaven. This disposition is exactly like that of my master.

Jiang Chen

I feel a mix of emotions, my heart is in turmoil. I both hope that he truly likes me and would rather it be untrue. Otherwise, this cruel twist of fate leaves me in a state of despair

I panicked and tried to shake him off, but he held on like a vice, employing the third technique of our school's small grappling art, the Flying Eagle Pouncing on the Rabbit

I awkwardly explained to him: "I just encountered a villain by the creek, and fortunately, Jiang Chen came to save my life." In truth, I was unsure whether he would believe this explanation, but if I did not say anything, I would feel uncomfortable in my heart. I did not want him to misunderstand that my disheveled appearance was due to Jiang Chen.

I was momentarily taken aback; his implication was that he feared the person might turn back and pose a threat to me, or perhaps he was concerned that the individual had accomplices. Just as I was about to feel touched, I recalled the earlier incident of failing to retrieve the book from his embrace, which caused my face to flush once more. I quickly bent down to wring out the water from the hem of my clothes, intending to return.

He changed his tactic, transforming from a flying eagle pouncing on a rabbit to a ferocious tiger hunting for food, and even seized my wrist in the process. I found myself increasingly unable to break free, and I worried that with another struggle, he might climb up the rod and wrap his arms around me as well

You need not worry; when my mother sent me to the Xiaoyao Sect, she told my master that he would take full responsibility for my matters. She holds great respect for my master, so you need not be concerned.

I threw a handkerchief, two candies, into his feet from my sleeve, feeling quite ashamed

I immediately stepped back to a distance of three zhang, transitioning from participating to observing. Although the current situation is critical and the circumstances are severe, I must say that it is quite rare and very appealing to see Jiang Chen with a serious expression on his face.

I was just about to make another feint to the east and strike to the west when suddenly a figure descended from the sky and landed behind the masked man. Unsteady in posture, the long sword in hand thrust directly at the masked man's right shoulder

Could it be that he doesn't actually like me at all, but is merely using me as a shield to protect someone else? I went through the past years again, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt it was true, causing my heart to plummet instantly, leaving me in extreme discomfort. Even if I were to take a step back and say that Yun Zhou really does like me, how could I possibly be with him after what has happened with Jiang Chen?

"This sword manual, I do not covet it." My statement is not made out of spite. This item is related to my background, and whenever I see it, I inexplicably feel a bit uncomfortable. Although I understand that this is the aspiration of many martial artists, I truly do not covet it.

My mouth feels sour and astringent, as if I have eaten unripe green plums. Even though it is difficult to swallow, I am reluctant to spit it out

Master Yuan Zhao exclaimed, "Oh, you are engaged to Xiao Mo?"

As the tip of the sword thrust forward, my breath caught in my throat, and I thought this life was over... However, the sword did not stab me; instead, it was angled, prying open my front garment and revealing my inner shirt. Could it be that I was not confronted by a robber, but rather a flower thief! I glared fiercely at the masked man before me; if he dared to pry at my inner shirt again, I would throw myself upon the sword and end my life.

He did not look at me, but said in a low voice: "Xiao Mo, step aside!"

"It's alright, it's alright." I awkwardly pulled my wrist away little by little, feeling a strange sense of regret rise within me. If it were Yunzhou, how wonderful it would be if he could say something like this, just a sentence or half a sentence like Jiang Chen.

Little Mo, we are leaving

I stubbornly declared, "I will no longer be called Yunmo."

Oh dear, Jiang Chen actually tore off Xiao Mo's sleeve

Everyone laughed in agreement, expressing their approval. As for my attire, I merely borrowed a dress from Master Yu, which was simply twice as tight as my original clothes. I took a deep breath, and immediately felt a tightness in my chest, as if it were about to burst. Wearing such clothing constantly reminds me to maintain a calm mindset; otherwise, something might go wrong.

The affairs of the world are unpredictable, and life is but a dream. I have already become Jiang Chen's fiancée at a speed that is as swift as a thunderclap, and in an instant, I have become someone who belongs to another. Although I find it difficult to accept this master for the time being, the only benefit is that I can finally let go of Yun Zhou completely.

He glanced and said, "Tear off the sleeve and throw it over here."

He said with a smirk, "Jiang Chen, you are really too impatient! It's broad daylight, and we are still in the wilderness..."

Why didn't you knock when you came in

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded vigorously: "I think so too. We should return home today to let my mother meet you."

With a clang, the broken sword fell into the stream!

I immediately felt a flush of heat on my face, which was quite embarrassing

Hmm? I furrowed my brows, isn't this none of my business? Who said this!

He said softly, "My home is located in Guiyun Mountain Villa"

The dagger and the longsword are certainly not comparable, yet it is better than having nothing. With a weapon in hand, I immediately felt a sense of confidence; in the face of life and death, I wielded the dagger as if it were a short sword.

The masked assailant's moves are fierce and ruthless. Unarmed, I am unable to withstand them, and my attempts to evade are utterly clumsy

Jiang Chen gazed deeply at me, backlit, and I could only feel that his eyes were so profound that they seemed bottomless

His eyes were dark and glimmering with a cold light: "Why?"

I let out a slight sigh of relief. Wasn't it the case that the killer was merely a robber, only seeking to plunder wealth? Unfortunately, he truly picked the wrong person. I thought to myself that coming to Master Yuan Zhao's place meant I wouldn't need to spend any money on food and lodging, thus I didn't bring even a single coin.

He pointed to my lapel and asked, "What about here?"

He said in a deep voice: "The pocket in the lapel."

I instantly regained my senses, turned around to greet him, took the clothes from Jiang Chen's hands, and stepped into my own room

Cloud color

Why does everyone think that there is an ambiguous relationship between Jiang Chen and me, while they never misunderstand my relationship with Yun Zhou? Is it because he is truly aloof and I cannot even ascend to the level of having a misunderstanding with him?

Yun Zhou, does he really like me? I can hardly believe it, as my mind quickly flips through the years spent with him, sifting through them as meticulously as a sieve, yet unfortunately, I found not a trace of infidelity. He has always been gentle and refined towards me, courteous and polite. When speaking to me alone, he never exceeds ten sentences. Moreover, during our conversations, I usually gaze at him while he looks at the ground in front of my feet.

Do you have a mother

Is what he said true or false

He asked earnestly, "What is the matter?"

As soon as I heard it concerned Yunzhou, I immediately felt a surge of energy

The young maid finished these few words without taking a breath and ran away

He was taken aback, immediately reaching out to support himself on the windowsill, and climbed out from the window. The begonia in his palm fell down, landing on my shoe, which had an embroidered orchid pattern on its damp surface. That begonia resting on it was like a finishing touch.

Unintentionally, I caught Yun Zhou's gaze. He stood in the corridor, his expression austere, his dark eyes profound. I mustered the courage to look at him a couple more times, yet I still could not discern a trace of affection for me in his eyes. It seems that he truly used me as a shield merely to placate the young princess.

If he truly likes me, why did he not immediately agree when the master proposed to him, but instead chose to drown his sorrows in alcohol?

I have never seen him engage in a duel with anyone. In the past, when I practiced with my senior brothers, I always thought his movements were graceful and beautiful, assuming he was merely a showy performer. However, today I realize I was mistaken. Although his techniques are not vicious, they are sharp and swift, with each move being a lethal strike

Unfortunately, my heart only died for a moment, and then something unexpected happened.

Jiang Chen lowered his head, pretending to wipe his sword, while his arm trembled uncontrollably with laughter

Xiao Mo, come home with me to meet my mother

Sister, I took some time to come over to say a few words to you, concerning Young Master Yun

I pondered briefly: "I think it would be better for her to see me in person; rumors are generally unreliable"

I glanced at him and said: "The principle is the same, the essence is identical. In any case, with your temperament, you will surely have many troubles in the future, which I do not like"

A young maid beside the little princess, the one I helped out yesterday, suddenly came to find me, looking very anxious.

He squinted his eyes and smiled, unexpectedly holding my hand

I sighed softly and said, "I do not want to wear a green hat"

I roughly and vaguely understood, but I dared not believe it, so I mustered the courage to hum a line: "I do not understand"

I said with a sense of helplessness: "There are no pockets in my garment, and I truly have no money"

I never dreamed that this dagger would be so sharp and powerful; with a mighty swing, I unexpectedly cleaved the masked man's long sword in two.

Several friends from the martial world in Master Yuan Zhao's room immediately congratulated my master. My master smiled with his lips but not with his eyes, and his expression seemed to carry a hint of sorrow and reluctance

What!

Jiang Chen looked at me and said with a smile, "Uncle, would you be willing to officiate the wedding between me and Xiao Mo?"

My earlier shout was merely a diversion, a tactic to mislead and rescue. He realized that there was no one behind him and swung his sword up.

His previously gloomy face suddenly brightened with a radiant smile: "Xiao Mo, only men are said to wear a green hat; I have never heard a woman say that."

Why do I feel that his smile resembles that of a fox

Jiang Chen clasped his hands and smiled, saying, "First, thank you, Uncle. When the time comes, I invite everyone to the Xiaoyao Gate to celebrate the wedding." He then turned back to me, smiling sweetly, his eyes crescent-shaped, displaying a look of willing joy and exuberance.

Is it fun? Is this a compliment to a person? Am I an object, a toy

Do you really not want to marry me

She is known in the martial arts world as Lady Qi

I neither agree nor disagree; the name Yunse is quite nice.

I bit my lip tightly, feeling a sharp pain in my heart. It does not matter who misunderstands me, except for him

The masked man was taken aback, and I was equally astonished! Master Mingxiang's weapon truly lives up to its reputation.

In the blink of an eye, I barely evaded seven strikes, the sword moving like a snake and a vine, constantly entwining around me. I could not discern the origins of his martial arts, nor could I fathom why he sought to assassinate me

Nature is indeed real

Jiang Chen, Yun Mo! The shout of Senior Brother Lin came from not far away

I sighed melancholically, saying: "What is there to be jealous about? It is merely a matter of being prepared for the future, do you understand?"

I stepped forward and asked, "Why aren't you pursuing?"

He chuckled and said, "I am a modest person and never flaunt my family background"

I tentatively asked, "Your mother will definitely not agree with me."

A heaviness settled in my heart; could it be that instead of slitting one's throat, one intends to pierce the heart with a sword?

I hurriedly set aside a tangle of chaotic thoughts and opened the door. Jiang Chen was momentarily taken aback upon seeing me, his gaze immediately turning as clear as a pool of blue water, looking at me with tender affection. A jolt ran through my heart, and I quickly averted my eyes

In a moment of urgency, I leaped backward and stepped into the stream.

Qifu Ren, apart from Murong Qiao, the master of Jinbo Palace, is the most renowned woman in the Jianghu. She is the mistress of Guiyun Villa and the sister of the formidable General Qi.

My heart skipped a beat, and I was left speechless, utterly powerless to struggle any further

He looked at my torn sleeve and asked, "What happened to your clothes?"

I stood dazed outside the window, unable to move an inch. Because, from inside the window, a hand reached out and plucked a begonia flower from in front of the window. That hand, which I had seen countless times wielding a sword, was strikingly elegant, long and clean. In the palm, resembling jade, it cradled a begonia flower, and I stared blankly, lacking the courage to step forward

Here, it is a matter of skepticism, as one must believe that I do not have pockets in my garment, insisting on seeing it for oneself

His expression was slightly haggard, as if he wanted to return my smile, yet there was almost no trace of amusement in his eyes.

Typically, men's garments have pockets in the collars and sleeves, while women's garments only feature pockets in the sleeves. Otherwise, it would be quite unseemly to be rummaging around in the front all day, which could lead to inappropriate thoughts. However, the garment I am currently wearing is loose and simple, resembling a man's garment, so it is no wonder he has such expectations. Nevertheless, there are indeed no pockets in the collar.

I was both startled and embarrassed, struggling with flailing limbs. His palm pressed firmly against my back, his arm seemed to want to embed itself into my waist, I was tightly embraced against his chest, the air in my lungs was nearly squeezed out, I struggled several times but could not break free, my face was burning hot, and my heart was racing as if it would leap out.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said, "Hmm."

I was moved as I received it: "Thank you, Uncle." He, the elder, looked at my master and had always liked me, as if I were his own grandson.

Little Mo's indecisiveness and stubbornness require a strong approach to be effective

He initially asked me to take everything out of my possession, yet he did not believe me and insisted that I show him my pockets

I believe that once she sees me standing together with Jiang Chen, witnessing her charming and dashing son choosing a dull and wooden daughter-in-law, she will surely have second thoughts. Although she has a good relationship with my master, it cannot be so good as to sacrifice her son's lifelong happiness.

This has turned into a close combat situation. His half-length sword is quite comparable to my dagger. Unfortunately, my internal strength is ultimately quite poor, and my physical strength cannot be compared to that of a man, so I soon found myself at a disadvantage again

He chuckled and said: "In fact, they don't understand you at all. Although you lack charm, you are quite entertaining and endearingly make people's hearts flutter."

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "You see, you were originally named Mo Mo, but you insisted on changing your name to Yun Mo. I reside in Guiyun Villa, Guiyun Guiyun, it seems you are destined to be my family's daughter-in-law. This is fate, what do you think?"

Guiyun Villa is renowned throughout the martial world, with countless enterprises under its banner, both on land and water, and is exceedingly wealthy. I continued to timidly ask: "Um, is your mother the housekeeper?"

On the way home, my senior brothers deliberately created opportunities for me and Jiang Chen, arranging our seats together during meals and placing our guest rooms next to each other at night. While everyone chatted and laughed, if Jiang Chen and I tried to join in with a few words, Senior Brother He Xiaole would immediately and sternly refuse us entry.

He glared at me resentfully: "I didn't ask you to protect me, I want you to take good care of yourself. If anything happens to you, it is I who will be hurt, do you understand?"

If he truly liked me, how could he just stand by and watch as Jiang Chen and I smoothly proceed with our engagement without intervening?

I was lying crookedly on the bed in the inn, lost in thought. As soon as I saw him enter, I quickly sat up straight and adjusted my clothes.

The sword followed closely, slanting upward and directly threatening my heart. I clumsily retreated two steps before finally evading the edge of the blade

I stared blankly at Jiang Chen, wondering whether his joy was genuine or false. He has always been someone I cannot understand or see through. The thought of the future fills me with concern; not only will I have to discern the truth behind his words, but I will also have to be by his side, constantly on guard against potential romantic entanglements. It is truly a source of worry and anxiety, and just thinking about it makes my head ache

I feel quite lost. After a day of gloom, I have come to a bit of understanding. The Xiaoyao Sect has nurtured me for fifteen years, and I will eventually get married. I will marry Jiang Chen, even if it means sacrificing myself to uphold the reputation of the Xiaoyao Sect. However, Jiang Chen is so handsome that being with him might lead others to say he is a flower. Thinking of this makes me feel a bit down.

A fierce wind suddenly arose! A masked figure leaped down from the tree behind, wielding a long sword that gleamed like lightning, thrusting it forward.

The veins on the back of his hand twitched slightly. Taking advantage of his momentary distraction, I leaned back and kicked towards his long sword. He tilted the sword to the right to evade, and in that instant, I finally drew the dagger from my boot. This was the only weapon I had on me, and until now, I had been pressured by his long sword, leaving me no opportunity to draw the dagger.

I stared blankly at the humble Jiang Chen, realizing that I had once again fallen to the level of cow dung. However, with his background, would his mother agree to us? Suddenly, a small crack opened up in my heart, gradually widening, and a thought emerged. What if his mother does not agree? How wonderful that would be.

I am somewhat disappointed; I wish she had not agreed.

Jiang Chen furrowed his brows and said solemnly: "You must master this sword technique. I do not wish to be injured myself"

He chuckled and said, "How about calling it Yunse?"

My face has started to flush again

He slowly released his arm, reached into his bosom, and took out the Heavy Mountain Sword Manual, handing it to me. I was somewhat surprised; earlier I had asked him for it, but why was he now taking the initiative to return it to me?

I was forced into the stream by him, my boots and the hem of my clothes soaked with water, making it even more difficult to evade. In the midst of imminent danger, cold sweat silently emerged. After three consecutive horizontal thrusts, the tip of the sword was pressed directly against my throat. I watched in despair, unable to dodge any longer, a wave of hopelessness washing over me

His smile froze at the corners of his lips, gradually fading away

I nodded slightly, pushed open the courtyard gate, and as I passed by my master's room, I heard a burst of laughter and cheerful conversation drifting out from the window

I continue to withdraw my hand: "Don't talk to me about fate." Now, I feel that the legendary fate is somewhat unreliable. In the past, I always believed that I had a connection with Yunzhou, but in the end, I became Jiang Chen's fiancée.

I felt a rush of heat on my face, spat once, and quickly stood up, distancing myself from him

"Forget it, forget it, I didn't see anything," Brother Lin waved his hand grandly and took the lead, walking while saying, "Master is going to bid farewell to Master Yuan Zhao, and he asked me to find you all. Everyone is waiting. Jiang Chen, don't be anxious, it will be another day, hehe."

He seemed not to hear and continued to chuckle to himself, saying: "Xiao Mo, everyone says that we are a perfect match in talent and appearance"

A voice came from behind, Jiang Chen said: "Xiao Mo, I have brought the clothes."

Xiao Mo, I do not care where this sword manual came from. Since you have obtained it, why do you not practice this sword technique

"You want me to master this unparalleled swordsmanship to protect you?" I find this statement quite uncharacteristic of him. A grown man, is he really expecting me to protect him in the future? I feel a tinge of disappointment.

On this point, I have truly inherited the teachings of my master; when encountering matters that are not handled well, it is essential to feign ignorance and confusion.

Indeed, look at the colors of the sunset, they are the most beautiful and vibrant. He finally released my hand, raised his finger to point at the sky outside the window, where the clouds were as majestic as mountains and as picturesque as a painting, splashed with ink across the horizon, truly captivating.
