Chapter 69 Refusing to Marry

nd thought that what she said made some sense; he sighed in his heart. He knew that she had some tricks up her sleeve in private but was glad she never caused any major trouble. She was also kind and...Chapter 69: Refusing to Marry

Yun Qianyue's gaze gradually focused, surprised by the tremendous power of the Dragon Pit Tiger Den Formation once it was activated. Those outside couldn't see anything inside the formation; even if they looked closely, they wouldn't be able to make out much. She pursed her lips tightly.

"The Dragon Pit Tiger Den Formation is indeed extraordinary!" Ye Qingran praised lazily.

"This array has been carefully modified by Little Sister Lan. Its power is now even greater than before! In the present era, it's unlikely that there will be any other formation that surpasses it." Cang Ting added.

"Indeed rare!" Ye Tianyi glanced at Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue, praising as well.

Rong Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery but he didn't speak.

Yun Qianyue thought that she should believe in Nan Lingrui, her brother and the crown prince of a nation. How could he truly be a waste If he were really useless, as Rong Jing said, then during those years ago, the Southern Liang King wouldn't have swapped him with the real Southern Liang Crown Prince.

Time ticked by second by second, and the Dragon Pit Tiger Den Formation remained shrouded in black mist.

No one's eyes left the formation; everyone was watching closely as it moved.

About half an hour later, two faint hisses suddenly came from within the Dragon Pit Tiger Den Formation, seemingly something bursting. Following this were several cries of pain, and the Dragon Pit Tiger Den Formation instantly erupted into flames. The red light broke through the black mist, shining brightly.

"What's going on" Lan Yi was startled, shouting fiercely.

Yun Qianyue's expression changed; she immediately stood up and lightly touched her toes to leap down from the Observation Tower. However, someone moved faster than her and pulled her hand before flying down first.

Ye Qingran also followed them down.

Seeing those in front leaping down, Ye Tianyi also flew after them.

Lan Yi woke up from his shock and immediately flew down as well.

The ten major families' people on the Observation Tower all left it when they saw this scene.

Rong Jing led Yun Qianyue to the Dragon Pit Tiger Den Formation. He reached out to stop her, saying, "Wait here for me; I'll go in and take a look!"

"No way!" Yun Qianyue grabbed him firmly, "We're going together!"

"Behave," Rong Jing pushed her back slightly. He seemed to want to seal her acupoints but didn't dare expose his identity; he glanced at the Seventh Elder of Red Pavilion following behind and coldly ordered, "Watch over your young master."

"Yes!" Hua Sheng and others immediately stepped forward, reaching out their hands toward Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue dodged their hands and shouted at the seven of them sharply, "Step back!"

"Young Master, it's too dangerous inside," the seven people shook their heads in unison, faces filled with alarm.

"I said step back!" Yun Qianyue was angry and anxious.

The seven were shaken by Yun Qianyue's anger; they involuntarily took a step back.

"Stop her; I'll take responsibility for all of you." Rong Jing coldly threw out the words, his figure flashing as he instantly shot into the thick black mist and flames.

"Chu Rong, how dare you!" Yun Qianyue angrily touched her toes to leap after him.

"Young Master, please forgive us," the seven exchanged glances and gritted their teeth, blocking Yun Qianyue together.

"Who's your master" Yun Qianyue was furious; she waved out a palm with seven-tenths of her strength.

The person in front of her was Hua Luo and Cang Lan. They didn't dodge or retaliate but stood straight before her.

Yun Qianyue saw that her palm hit them, but they did not evade; Rong Jing had already entered the formation, so even if she struck these two people, there were still five others who could stop her. It would be useless. She angrily retracted her hand and sternly shouted at the seven of them, "You'll regret it!"

The seven saw Yun Qianyue's withdrawal; they all lowered their heads but continued to firmly block her.

"Why should Lady Chu be angry Lord Chu cherishes you so deeply and is saving your brother for you. You should be happy," Ye Tianyi’s voice sounded out.

Yun Qianyue suddenly turned around, looking at Ye Tianyi with a cold and sharp gaze like an unsheathed sword, emanating a chilling light.

Ye Tianyi felt a chill run through his body from this gaze but did not retreat. He calmly looked at Yun Qianyue.

"Yes, indeed, it's hard to tell that the head of the Chu family is such an infatuated person who cares for Lady Chu to this extent. It's just a pity that once the Dragon Pit Tiger Den Formation is activated, one can't break out without solving the formation first. This fire isn’t clear about how it started, but if the formation isn’t broken, the fire won't be extinguished either." Cang Ting had been standing in place all along and said with an air of watching a play.

"President Lan! You need to explain thoroughly why this Dragon Pit Tiger Den Formation would start a fire!" Yun Qianyue turned towards Lan Yi and coldly questioned him.

Lan Yi’s face was ashen, clearly stunned by the current scene. She shook her head, "I don’t know..."

"Very well then! You also do not know President Lan, this Dragon Pit Tiger Den Formation is yours and you set it up. Now that there's a fire, you actually claim to be unaware of it. Truly laughable! If you want him dead, just say one sentence and he might as good commit suicide right in front of you. Why resort to such murder" Yun Qianyue gave a cold laugh, her voice like shattered ice.

"I truly don’t know; the Dragon Pit Tiger Den Formation has never seen such circumstances!" Lan Yi’s face was pale as she looked at Yun Qianyue, frozen by her gaze. She suddenly took a deep breath and lightly stepped on her feet to rush towards the nearby flames.

"President!"

"Sister!"

Instantly, there were cries of shock from both young and old members of the Lan family. Several elders and maidens attempted to block Lan Yi simultaneously but her figure was too quick; they didn’t even manage to touch a corner of her clothes, and their faces immediately turned pale with fear.

"Blue Sister!" Cang Ting also leaped up as Lan Yi took off in midair, instantly blocking in front of her.

“Cang Brother, move aside!” Lan Yi’s voice was urgent.

“The Blue family and the Southern Liang have a life-and-death pact. Life and death are fated; victory or defeat is decided by heaven. Once one enters the Dragon Pit Tiger Den Formation, everything happens according to fate,” Cang Ting said calmly: “Blue Sister, anything can happen unexpectedly. Going in now won’t help at all. Don't tell me you want to go in to save Prince Nan Liang Rui; he has no heart and desires nothing but to bully you. Maybe this is a punishment from heaven.”

“He isn’t…” Lan Yi shook her head, trying to bypass Cang Ting but wanting to proceed.

"President Lan, think things through before acting. Once the Dragon Pit Tiger Den Formation is activated, one can only leave after breaking it. At present, this is a death formation; you can enter but not exit. Going in will just add another life lost," Ye Tianyi reminded her coolly.

Lan Yi paused and suddenly exclaimed angrily: "I won't be saving him for his sake alone, there are a hundred disciples of the Blue family who need me! I cannot watch them perish like this!"

"If you go in, not only will the hundred disciples of the Blue family perish, but also you as their president!" Ye Tianyi looked at her.

"Cang Brother, move aside!" Lan Yi looked at the flames rising to the sky, her face pale and transparent. She suddenly struck out at Cang Ting.

Cang Ting dodged to one side but still tried to stop her from entering: "Blue Sister, we grew up together since childhood with this bond of affection; I can't just let you go in to die."

"Yes, President, you cannot enter!" At this moment, an elder from the Lan family spoke up for caution.

“Sister, you truly shouldn’t enter!” A lady of the Lan family also hurriedly spoke out.

Lan Yi pursed her lips and seemed to ignore them. She was determined to go in but clearly not Cang Ting's match; she was stopped from proceeding further, making her furiously angry: "Cang Ting, will you move"

Cang Ting shook his head: “You aren’t being rational now. Afterward, you won't blame me.”

Lan Yi looked at him, clearly both angry and furious but no longer speaking; the techniques in her hand suddenly became sharper.

“Such a fun thing, this little prince should go and join the chaos!” Night Qingran lazily smiled and lightly touched his feet to rush towards inside.

"Qingran! Don't be reckless!" Ye Tianqin immediately blocked in front of Night Qingran.

Night Qingran frowned: "Move aside!"

“I brought you out, I don’t want you to act recklessly and die!” Ye Tianyi’s expression turned cold.

"Who says I’ll die Move! If you don't move, this little prince will use force. Don't blame me when your limbs are missing," Night Qingran gave a sidelong glance at Ye Tianyi.

“I won’t let you go in! Get that idea out of your head!” Ye Tianyi remained unmoved.

Night Qingran suddenly struck towards Ye Tianyi.

Ye Tianyi lightly dodged, and the two began to fight instantly, charging and blocking each other.

While the battle was intense, Yun Qianyue did not even glance over and kept a tight focus on the Dragon's Den Tiger Trap Array, her expression cold.

Hua Sheng and the other seven people didn't dare to make any sound but also dared not let their guard down against Yun Qianyue for fear that she might break through their defenses at any moment.

The representatives of the ten great clans looked at one another, stunned by what they saw. The Chu family members were all terrified, yet none shouted when Rongjing entered; they knew it was futile to try and stop him since he would do whatever he wanted anyway. They could only pray that nothing would be able to stop their family head.

The entire Lan Family's training ground was filled with the sounds of fire crackling and combat.

Just as everyone was at a loss, suddenly a ball of water light rolled out from the Dragon's Den Tiger Trap Array. The water light looked like a mist, clear and transparent, rolling out from the thick black fog and flames in an instant.

This change shocked everyone on the scene instantly.

Lan Yi and Cang Ting as well as Ye Tianyi and Ye Qingran all stopped fighting to look over at this sight simultaneously.

Hua Sheng and the other seven people also hurriedly looked over.

Yun Qianyue stared at the ball of water light, her eyes unwavering. In no time, the ball of water light suddenly shattered, releasing two figures inside—the very same Nan Lingrui and Luo Yao.

The two were fine and not even a thread of their clothes was burned off. The only exception was that Nan Lingrui’s brocade robe was stained with blood from thorns earlier on; it looked as red as the flames.

"Where is Chu Rong" Yun Qianyue asked urgently, still calling out Rongjing's name even at this point without losing her mind.

"I'm here!" As soon as Yun Qianyue spoke, another white light shot out from the Dragon's Den Tiger Trap Array. The light was like a sword being drawn out, shining like snow and swiftly shooting out of the array to land lightly in front of Yun Qianyue.

Black clothes and hair, silver mask. Brocade robe and jade belt, all intact. It was indeed Rongjing.

The worry that had been gnawing at Yun Qianyue's heart finally eased as she stared straight ahead at Rongjing without blinking.

"I said I would be fine!" Rongjing’s voice was still cold and icy, but there was a hint of tenderness in it.

Hua Sheng and the other seven exchanged glances before hurriedly making way for Yun Qianyue. Their hearts collectively eased as well.

Yun Qianyue’s anger flared up again only to be suppressed once more, repeating this cycle several times. Finally, she averted her gaze from Rongjing and walked over to Nan Lingrui instead.

Rongjing gave a bitter smile but did not reach out to hold Yun Qianyue back.

"What's going on" Arriving in front of Nan Lingrui, Yun Qianyue looked at him and Luo Yao and asked.

“I made my little sister worry!” Nan Lingrui chuckled as he glanced over at Lan Yi with a raised eyebrow. "Beautiful Lady Lan Yi, I have genuine feelings for you. Were you hoping that I’d die"

Lan Yi stared blankly at Nan Lingrui, her mouth opening but no sound coming out.

“It seems you really don’t like me! Well then! They say forced flowers are not sweet, yet this prince was foolish enough to insist on plucking this fruit despite knowing it. Now that I’ve been through this calamity and survived, I have realized my mistake in this matter. Why should we suffer for no reason Although I bullied you, deep down, both of us know that I didn’t do anything unforgivable. You are still a virgin, and the talk about having a child is pure speculation. Today, this prince came to the Lan Family to atone for my wrongdoings by breaking through the Dragon’s Den Tiger Trap Array and agreed with your demands despite knowing there was no proof of the child. But since you don’t have feelings for me anymore, then let’s call off the marriage; we will be even.” Nan Lingrui sighed as he calmly spoke these words. This starkly contrasted the carefree and flirtatious demeanor he usually exuded.

Lan Yi's already pale face turned whiter with disbelief, "You... you want to cancel our engagement"

"Yes, cancel it! It was a mistake from the beginning; why prolong it Let’s end this!" Nan Lingrui brushed off non-existent dust from his clothes and said coolly. “I suppose I came for nothing then!”

Lan Yi took an involuntary step back.

"My divine beauty is still the best! She knows how to care for me, protect me, and would die to follow me. This prince was truly foolish earlier on, abandoning a whole forest just for one tree; that really wasn't wise!" Nan Lingrui suddenly changed his demeanor back to being serious and reached out to embrace Luo Yao, resting his head on her shoulder with a grin. "From now on, I will treat my divine beauty well."

Lan Yi's eyes narrowed and then shattered.

Yun Qianyue glanced at Lan Yi but said nothing; she hadn't expected that her brother would be so decisive about the matter. She had originally thought he liked Lan Yi, but now it wasn’t clear anymore. When did this brother of hers become unpredictable This was the first time Yun Qianyue realized that this person had been sitting on the throne as the Southern Liang Crown Prince for ten years already! With a grandfather like her grandfather and a father like her father, could they really have produced such a good-for-nothing older brother

"Come, let's go back home!" Nan Lingrui released Luo Yao and turned to Yun Qianyue with a wave. "Little sister, are you coming with me"

"Of course!" Yun Qianyue nodded readily.

“Great! Come here; I'll pull you along,” Nan Lingrui offered his hand to Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue placed her hand in Nan Lingrui's hand.

Nan Lingrui chuckled and pulled Luo Yao with one hand while pulling Yun Qianyue with the other, stepping away as he sighed, "I'm not exactly wasting my trip either; besides picking up a celestial beauty on the way, I've learned from my mistakes. With a celestial beauty on one side and a younger sister on the other, returning to the country isn't too bad at all! The journey won’t be lonely anymore."

Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes inwardly; this man...

"Prince Rui left like that" Ye Tianyi asked with a vague tone, addressing Nan Lingrui.

"I'm sorry to have let the Seventh Prince and Yan Xirao miss out on my wedding banquet. I made a foolish mistake earlier, nearly losing my life; I don’t want to make such a mistake again. When one marries, they should choose someone who understands them. One can't marry this kind of venomous beauty, so there’s no need for her!"

Lang Yi's body suddenly jerked.

"That's not right, Prince Rui! The Dragon Den and Tiger Cave formation went wrong, but it shouldn’t be blamed on the headmaster of the Lan family. If Young Master Cang hadn't stopped her earlier, she would have rushed in long ago. Can you say that she doesn’t care about you Prince Rui, think carefully; don’t miss out on this good opportunity," Ye Tianyi reminded him.

"Who knows if she’s pretending She even went as far as to fake a pregnancy and damage her reputation just to frame me. What else can't she do Now that she's willing to destroy the Lan family by killing their hundred disciples just to get rid of me, and considering that she personally set up this Dragon Den and Tiger Cave formation, I don’t want to be fooled again," Nan Lingrui said without looking back.

"Prince Rui, do you have any evidence to prove the headmaster of the Lan family faked her pregnancy" Ye Tianyi asked with raised eyebrows.

"Evidence Don't joke around, Seventh Prince! I don’t even know if I did it or not," Nan Lingrui laughed derisively, suddenly turning back and looking at Lang Yi. His expression was no longer lovingly affectionate but rather a cold smirk. "Beautiful Lan Yi, tell the Seventh Prince what you said about me; am I really bullying you to such an extent that your pregnancy is real"

Lang Yi tightly bit her lips, almost drawing blood.

"How No answer" Nan Lingrui’s laughter was mocking. "Beautiful Lan Yi, don’t think of clinging on to me forever! If you really want to marry me, I won't refuse. After all, I don’t have a main wife, concubines or consorts yet. If you’re willing, then I’ll take another one; however, there are already many women queued up before you—yes, you can be my eighteenth concubine!"

Lang Yi’s face turned pale as she stared at Nan Lingrui with dead eyes.

Nan Lingrui looked at her mockingly, "No need to thank me too much, Beautiful Lan Yi. I'm always generous."

"Prince Rui! You can't be too rude and humiliate the headmaster of our family. If you do, we will make sure that you won’t leave the Lan Manor today," an elder member of the Lan family said in anger.

"Oh Am I being too harsh" Nan Lingrui laughed as he looked at Lang Yi. "Beautiful Lan Yi, tell me if I’m too harsh. In a situation like this, isn't it great that I even consider marrying you Don’t think about my main wife’s position."

"You... !" Lang Yi's body trembled slightly.

"Prince Rui, killing someone doesn’t mean you have to kill them; what’s the point of treating a weak woman this way" Cang Ting interjected at this moment.

"In my heart, Beautiful Lan Yi is not a weak woman. A weak woman couldn’t set up the Dragon Den and Tiger Cave formation She couldn't put fire in it and nearly burn me alive" With each word Nan Lingrui said, his beautiful brows raised slightly, his peach eyes cold.

"Prince Rui, this is not a joke; after passing through the Dragon Den and Tiger Cave formation, you are destined to marry..." Ye Tianyi said again.

"I wasn’t bullied by Prince Rui nor did I have a pregnancy. However, he did commit indecent acts towards me. Today's punishment and setting up the Dragon Den and Tiger Cave formation was just to teach him a lesson. Now that Prince Rui is safe, the Lan family has lost one hundred disciples. Everything is settled; we owe each other nothing," Lang Yi suddenly interrupted Ye Tianyi coldly, turning her back on Nan Lingrui and saying icily, "Prince Rui, what do you think"

"Very good!" Nan Lingrui replied with a smile.

"Then Prince Rui can go! No need to see you off!" Lang Yi waved them away.

Nan Lingrui did not linger and pulled Luo Yao and Yun Qianyue away, turning around without any hesitation.

"Young Master!" Hua Sheng and the others looked at each other helplessly before looking back at Nan Lingrui.

Yun Qianyue coldly threw a sentence back, "He’s your master from now on; don’t call me Young Mistress! I won't have servants like you!" and left without turning around to follow Nan Lingrui.

Hua Sheng's group all changed expressions and looked at Rong Jing.

Rong Jing stood in place, watching Yun Qianyue leave with no intention of chasing after her. "Brother-in-law!" Hua Sheng also retained his sanity and didn't call out to Young Master Ji; he only pleaded with Rong Jing, calling him brother-in-law.

"Follow them! If she hits you, let her hit you; if she scolds you, let her scold you. Only follow her when she stops hitting or scolding you; keep following until she’s satisfied," Rong Jing instructed the seven of them.

The seven looked at each other in response.

"Go!" Rong Jing waved his hand.

They had no choice but to chase after Yun Qianyue. When they heard what Rong Jing said, Yun Qianyue's suppressed anger flared up again; just as she was about to react, Nan Lingrui tickled her palm. She pursed her lips and restrained herself, not saying a word and letting him pull her away.

"Nan Lingrui, you're just going like this" Ye Qingran called out lazily.

"Do I wait for others to feed me if I don't go" Nan Lingrui didn't even look back.

"You went through all the trouble of coming here, and now you won’t marry your wife" Ye Qingran's gaze fell on the backs of the three people holding hands.

"I was blessed to survive a great calamity. I’ve had a change of heart. There are plenty of women out there; I don't need this one." Nan Lingrui said nonchalantly.

Yun Qianyue thought that although she always felt Rong Jing's mouth was venomous, her brother's mouth could be just as poisonous when he wanted to be.

"Head of the Family! You can't let him leave like this! Insulting the head of the family is insulting the Lan Family!" An elder of the Lan Family shouted in anger at Lan Yi who had turned his back.

"I said I want him to go!" Lan Yi's voice was cold, and he spoke sharply: "Today we settle our accounts. We owe each other nothing. Letting him leave, if any member of the Lan Family dares to stop him, they will be dealt with according to family rules."

The elder immediately shut up, and some young men and women from the Lan Family who were initially indignant also fell silent.

Yun Qianyue thought that despite being abandoned by Nan Lingrui after he broke through the Dragon's Den Tiger's Den formation, Lan Yi still remained calm. That impressed her. She glanced at Nan Lingrui with her peripheral vision and saw him smiling mysteriously. He didn't know what beautiful idea was in his mind. On the other hand, Lu Yao looked indifferent.

No one behind them spoke up to stop them anymore, and no more people emerged from the Dragon's Den Tiger's Den formation. The blazing fire trapped a hundred disciples inside, burning them alive.

The trio quickly left the Lan Family.

Nan Lingrui pulled the two of them straight towards the peach grove.

Yun Qianyue thought about not seeing Feng Jin and asked, tilting her head to one side, "Brother, where's Feng Jin What is he doing"

"That brat disappeared early in the morning! How would I know" Nan Lingrui shook his head.

Yun Qianyue thought that behind today’s Dragon's Den Tiger's Den formation fire, there were probably many people pulling strings. Feng Jin not showing up meant he was busy doing something else. She lowered her voice and said: "Brother, tell me, did you never intend to marry Lan Yi from the beginning, or did you want to but changed your mind after being hurt today"

Nan Lingrui blinked his eyes, "Little girl, what do you think"

Yun Qianyue glared at him, "Be honest!"

"Although Lan Yi is the head of the Lan Family, in reality, most of the Lan Family is now under Night Tianyi's control. That little beauty has a certain allure but it’s merely that—just an allure. I’m Nan Liang’s crown prince and haven’t been blinded to the point where I don't know who I should or shouldn't marry." Nan Lingrui said slowly.

"So you didn’t intend to marry Lan Yi from the start Even on the day of the announcement, was that your thought" Yun Qianyue raised an eyebrow.

“Uh-huh, I guess so,” Nan Lingrui nodded.

Yun Qianyue frowned. "What does 'I guess so' mean!"

"Guessing means I wanted to win one round. A month ago, the situation was blown out of proportion by the Lan Family. There were no better ways to respond, so I had to accept their conditions. Now don’t you think it’s better for me to have abandoned her after breaking through the Dragon's Den Tiger's Den formation Not only did I save my reputation but also got back everything I lost. The Lan Family suffered a heavy defeat this time, and Lan Yi will be seen as fraudulent. Night Tianyi must certainly feel affected too." Nan Lingrui smiled and said: "Little girl, didn’t I play this round well"

Yun Qianyue secretly nodded, admitting that Nan Lingrui played his hand very well indeed. But seeing his smug face, she couldn't help but mock him, “I don't see where you've done anything well! All I can see is how close you came to bleeding out and almost being burned alive.”

"Oh, you needn’t laugh at your brother for that. Not only did I not lose a drop of blood, but I didn't even get scorched by the slightest spark," Nan Lingrui said.

“Is this true” Yun Qianyue looked at his clothes stained with blood.

"Uh-huh, it's fake!" Nan Lingrui nodded and smiled. Then he turned to Lu Yao, smiling, releasing her hand, and pulling her slender waist into a hug: "This is all thanks to the Heavenly Immortal Beauty. I’ve got this Heavenly Immortal, which is better than having a million troops at my disposal."

"You're sure she's your Heavenly Immortal" Yun Qianyue looked carefully at Lu Yao.

“Uh-huh, very sure!” Nan Lingrui nodded proudly. Then he saw the odd look in Yun Qianyue’s eyes and chuckled: "Little girl, are you jealous that I have such a beautiful Heavenly Immortal Beauty"

Yun Qianyue narrowed her eyes but didn’t say anything.

"This little girl is really jealous of my Heavenly Immortal Beauty. What should I do about it" Nan Lingrui asked Lu Yao with a grin.

Lu Yao remained silent.

"Ah, all of you are just not adorable!" Nan Lingrui sighed.

Yun Qianyue remained silent and walked quietly forward. The peach blossoms in the Ten-Mile Peach Grove were blooming as fervently as they had when she came yesterday, with a beauty that was dazzling like that of the young girl who escapes but whose rosy cheeks are still glowing. Occasionally, a gentle breeze would blow by, causing petals to飄落在身上，就像情人溫暖的手，柔柔地貼著衣料輕輕撫摸，之後又戀戀不捨地順著上好的輕綢衣料滑落。

The three of them walked in silence.

hua Sheng and the other seven people followed silently behind, maintaining a moderate distance. They secretly thought that their young master was truly angry this time, not just at them but also at Prince Jǐng. Today’s Dragon Pool Tiger Den Array had ended so abruptly; Crown Prince Ruì abandoned the chance to marry Lady Lán and left without her. As the head of the Chǔ family, Prince Jǐng could not simply leave like their young master and Crown Prince Ruì did. They secretly wondered if their young master would really go to Nánguó with Crown Prince Ruì

The Ten-Mile Peach Grove was incredibly quiet; even ten people walking were barely audible.

Half an hour later, the group successfully exited the Ten-Mile Peach Grove.

Standing outside the peach grove, Yun Qianyue looked in the direction of Mt. Tiānshèngrán and asked Nánguó Ruì, "Are you returning to Nánguó now or what"

"Little lass, why do you say 'we' Didn't you just say you were coming with me What's this Are you still捨不得他了？不跟我去南梁了？”南淩睿挑眉。

“本來也不跟你去南梁。我說跟你走，是跟你走出桃花林。”雲淺月道。

South Lingrui’s face immediately fell. "Looks like I was just excited for nothing!"

Yun Qianyue glanced at him and didn’t say anything, her eyes falling on Lu Yao with a bit of depth.

"Little lass, is this Heavenly Immortal beauty very beautiful You always look at her." Nánguó Ruì leaned close to Yun Qianyue as if presenting a treasure. "Is she prettier than you"

Yun Qianyue snorted lightly and suddenly started walking. But it wasn’t back towards the Ten-Mile Peach Grove, but along another path.

"Little lass, where are you going" Nánguó Ruì was taken aback and called out to Yun Qianyue.

"To Mt. Tiānshèng! You guys can go back to Nánguó." Yun Qianyue waved her hand.

"I want to see the snow on Mt. Tiānshèng too! I’ll take Heavenly Immortal Beauty and you with me for a look," said Nánguó Ruì, pulling Lu Yao’s hand as he followed Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue didn’t turn back or stop him, effectively giving her consent.

Hua Sheng and the others exchanged glances and naturally followed behind them.

The Ten-Mile Peach Grove was over ten miles from Mt. Tiānshèng. Walking wasn’t a problem for those skilled in martial arts. An hour later, they arrived at the foot of Mt. Tiānshèng.

Mt. Tiānshèng extended for hundreds of miles and was over ten thousand feet high. Below were lush green trees; halfway up, everything turned white like snow.

Yun Qianyue looked at the peak of Mt. Tiānshèng for a moment before suddenly taking out her Crimson Beauty Silk. Lightly touching the ground with her toes, she started climbing straight up.

"Heavenly Immortal Beauty, this mountain is too high for me to carry you; you’ll have to climb by yourself!" Nánguó Ruì let go of Lu Yao’s hand and threw out a black chain from his sleeve, then followed Yun Qianyue in climbing straight up.

Lu Yao watched as Yun Qianyue and Nánguó Ruì climbed one after the other. The red silk and black chain they held would wrap around rocks or trees on the mountain with fluid motions. Within a short moment, they had already climbed dozens of feet. She looked away, smiling at Hua Sheng and others. "You guys wait here; there’s no need to climb up!"

They were about to follow but when Lu Yao spoke, everyone shook their heads in unison. "No way! We can’t leave Young Master alone!"

"With me around, you should feel reassured," said Lu Yao, her voice suddenly changing dramatically. A thin layer of mist seemed to emanate from her face, instantly transforming her appearance.

What kind of appearance was this Like a delicate flower in spring’s fluctuating warmth and chill; like winter plum blossoms basking in the sun.

A beauty that could captivate an entire nation!

The seven men’s eyes widened, unable to believe what they were seeing. They exclaimed as one, "Master"
