When Nie Caizhu saw this scene, her eyes widened and her face was filled with disbelief.
"I already said that I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child. I just don't believe it …" Shen Luo saw this and blew on his palm as he muttered to himself.
Finished speaking, he lifted the tip of his foot and lightly tapped Scarface's temple. Scarface, who had just been rolling on the ground in pain, immediately blacked out and fainted.
"Miss Nie, let's go." Shen Luo walked forward and said softly.
"They …" Nie Caizhu looked at the two people lying on the ground and said hesitantly.
"They've fainted and won't wake up for fourteen to fourteen hours. They won't be able to escape." Shen Luo smiled and said.
Nie Caizhu finally relaxed and followed Shen Luo out of the Round Pearl Temple, heading in the direction of the county town.
After what had happened just now, the relationship between the two had unknowingly become closer. They had also changed from one in front and one behind to two people walking side by side.
"Miss Nie, Yunzhou is more than a thousand miles away from here. Why did you come all the way to Chunhua County?" Shen Luo asked casually.
"To tell you the truth, the reason I came all the way here is to see a person." Nie Caizhu said.
"If that's the case, it must be someone extremely important to Miss." Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and said.
"Important … I don't think so. He's my fiancé. It's just that I've never seen him before." Nie Caizhu thought for a moment and said.
"Why is that?" Shen Luo asked even though he already knew the answer.
"This matter is a bit absurd. My fiancé is a distant cousin of mine. We were betrothed when we were young …" Nie Caizhu thought for a moment and slowly began to narrate.
As it turned out, ever since Nie Caizhu's mother passed away, the Nie family had cut off all ties with the Shen family. The entire Nie residence didn't take the Shen family, whose wealth and status paled in comparison, seriously, as if the engagement didn't exist. The Shen family also seemed to be very self-aware. They didn't take the initiative to contact the Nie family to fulfill the agreement, which made the Nie family very satisfied.
Later, when the Nie family saw that Nie Caizhu had reached the marriageable age, they wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Yunzhou Governor's Manor. They wanted to marry her to the Governor's second son to strengthen the family's power.
Who would have thought that Nie Caizhu looked down on the infamous playboy in Yunzhou. She claimed that she was already engaged and refused to agree.
Everyone in the Nie Mansion tried their best to persuade her, telling her to see the big picture and think for the family. But who would have thought that this girl, who usually looked soft and weak, would be unexpectedly unyielding in this matter? No matter how the family tried to persuade her or how they tried to persuade her, she was unmoved.
Seeing that she was so stubborn, the Nie family had no choice but to confine her and force her to marry into the Governor's Manor. What's done cannot be undone.
But not long after, Nie Caizhu packed up some gold, silver, and valuables and quietly escaped with her servant girl. She disguised herself as a man and came to Chunhua County.
This process simply sounded like a story from a novel, and it caused Shen Luo, a cultivator in the fasting period, to be extremely shocked when he heard it.
It must be known that the entire Tang Empire was not safe. There were demons everywhere. How difficult was it for a girl like Nie Caizhu to safely arrive at the Shen family?
"Since ancient times, marriage has always been decided by the parents and the matchmaker. A girl like Miss Nie is very rare." Shen Luo sighed softly. He had a good impression of this simple-minded girl who dared to resist.
Nie Caizhu's eyes lit up as she said, "Perhaps other things can be compromised, but my own marriage is important. Others can't make decisions for me."
Shen Luo glanced at Nie Caizhu and asked, "But Miss Nie, have you ever thought that your fiancé might also be a hedonistic son of rich parents, and even have an ugly appearance and improper conduct?"
Nie Caizhu said without hesitation, "If that's really the case, then I won't marry him either. Coming here to fulfill the contract would be considered as breaking the contract."
But after she finished speaking, a smile appeared on her face. Her face was like a white cloud that stretched out, intoxicating others. Shen Luo couldn't help but stare blankly.
"However, after seeing my fiancé's family, I believe that he definitely isn't a hedonistic son of rich parents." Nie Caizhu added.
"How so?" Shen Luo came back to his senses and asked curiously.
"I can see that there's an atmosphere in a family. Moreover, I also heard some things about my fiancé from my uncle. I can see that he's an ambitious person. "Nie Caizhu replied.
Shen Luo heard this and couldn't help but feel complacent in his heart. He couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
"I'm talking about my fiancé. Why is Young Master so happy?" Nie Caizhu happened to see this and felt that it was a bit strange. She couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, as fellow countrymen, I share the honor. But may I know which family's young talent is from? "Shen Luo hurriedly smiled embarrassedly.
"He's the young master of the Shen Family's medicine store in the city. He seems to be the same age as you. Do you know him?" Nie Caizhu asked.
"It's a pity that we haven't met." Shen Luo shook his head and said.
"Fate is really fleeting. I came to the Round Pearl Temple today to pray for the blessings of the Buddha. I only hope that my fiancé is a kind person who can make me like him." Nie Caizhu thought for a long time and said to herself.
When she said these words, there seemed to be stars shining in her eyes.
Shen Luo looked at her from the side. A part of his heart seemed to have been suddenly hit. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly rise.
After that, the two walked all the way back to the county town. They also chatted casually.
On the way back, Shen Yuange and a few servants drove a carriage out of the city to find Shen Luo and Nie Caizhu. They saw them from afar.
When they came near, the coachman stopped the horse. Immediately, a young maid in black jumped down from the carriage. She ran to Nie Caizhu with a crying voice and shouted, "Miss, you scared Xiao Chun to death. Wu wu …"
Then, she threw herself into Nie Caizhu's arms and burst into tears.
This young maid looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old. She was quite thin and small. Her facial features hadn't grown yet. She looked childish. When she cried, she was like a pear blossom in the rain.
Nie Caizhu looked at Shen Luo with some embarrassment. She raised her hand and stroked her hair. She softly comforted her, "Xiao Chun, don't cry. Am I not fine?"
The maid named Xiao Chun couldn't stop crying. She cried for a long time. Then, she finally raised her head while sobbing.
"Miss, who is he?" She glanced at Shen Luo who was standing beside her Miss and asked with some vigilance.
"This is … the person who saved me." Nie Caizhu wanted to introduce Shen Luo. She opened her mouth and then remembered that from the beginning until now, the young man in front of her had never mentioned her name.
"So it's the benefactor. Thank you very much for saving our Miss." When Xiao Chun heard this, her expression immediately changed. She quickly and formally bowed to Shen Luo.
