Fang Zhengzhi looked seriously at his mother, who was rarely as persistent as she was today. He looked at Qin Xuelian's skinny face and expectant expression.
Finally …
He sighed.
"Zhengzhi, did you … agree?" Qin Xuelian's pale face lit up with anticipation as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi's sigh.
"Mother, it doesn't matter even if I agree, Wu Yuer did not agree." Fang Zhengzhi nodded, then shook his head.
"Don't worry, I have already asked Yuer, she agreed!" Qin Xuelian seemed to have expected Fang Zhengzhi to say this.
Fang Zhengzhi finally understood what happened in the 20 days that he was away.
Agreed?
Wu Yuer actually agreed to it!
She did not even know what the betrothal gifts were, and she actually agreed? No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem to fit Wu Yuer's character.
No, there must be a conspiracy behind this.
Fang Zhengzhi did not think that Wu Yuer would let him off so easily. Of course, this was not the most important thing, the most important thing was that he really could not marry Wu Yuer.
"Mother, I know you want to have a grandson, but some things … can't be rushed." Fang Zhengzhi instinctively looked at the door and realized that Wu Yuer had yet to arrive. He was slightly moved.
"Why can't it be rushed? Yuer has already agreed, I have prepared the betrothal gifts, and I have also prepared the matchmaker. Now, I just need to settle this, I won't care who you want to marry in the future. "Qin Xuelian was not satisfied.
"Mother, have you forgotten that I am the Prince of Cang now?"
"What do you mean? Are you saying that you can disobey me now that you are the Prince of Cang? "Qin Xuelian's face darkened when she heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, and she started to pant.
"Mother, that's not what I mean, I mean … I need to go to the Flame Capital City to ask the Emperor." Fang Zhengzhi did not want to lie to Qin Xuelian, but under such circumstances, this was the only way.
"Ask the Emperor?" Qin Xuelian was confused.
"Yes, Mother, think about it carefully, I have just rejected the Emperor's betrothal, if I marry Wu Yuer immediately, wouldn't I be disrespecting the Emperor?"
"This …" Qin Xuelian was stunned and finally fell silent.
"Of course, I can understand Mother's desire to have a grandson. How about this, I will make a trip to Flame Capital City tomorrow and personally explain this to the Emperor?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.
"Zheng 'er's words make sense. Right now, Zheng' er's status is different, he's the Azure Emperor. Even his marriage should be approved by the Emperor. This is etiquette!" Fang Houde nodded his head in agreement.
"As if I don't understand etiquette? Of course I know Zheng 'er's identity is different now, but … "Qin Xuelian hesitated at the end.
"Mum, it won't take long from the Northern Mountain Village to the capital. We will be back in a few months." Fang Zhengzhi finally saw hope when he heard Fang Houde's' help '.
"Alright, I agree to let you go to Flame Capital City. However, you have to promise me that you will marry Yu 'er when you return!" Qin Xuelian hesitated for a moment before nodding her head.
"…" Fang Zhengzhi felt bitter. He knew that if he didn't agree now, Qin Xuelian wouldn't let him leave. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I agree!"
…
"Since you've agreed, shouldn't you settle this marriage first before you leave?" Just as Fang Zhengzhi finished his sentence, a black figure holding a piece of red silk walked in.
"Wu Yuer!" Fang Zhengzhi's expression changed when he saw Wu Yuer.
He never expected Wu Yuer to be eavesdropping outside the door. This was a little awkward. Furthermore, what did settling the marriage mean?
Didn't she know that he was' perfunctory 'with Qin Xuelian?
"Yu 'er is right!" Fang Houde nodded his head.
"Mm, Yu 'er, come over here. There are a few things in this box. Take a look and see if there's anything you like. This is my betrothal gift for you." When Qin Xuelian saw Wu Yuer, she seemed to be a little surprised. However, she quickly beamed with joy.
In her heart, Wu Yuer's words meant that she was "loyal". Wu Yuer was going to be Fang Zhengzhi's wife. She was naturally very happy.
"Thank you, auntie." When Wu Yuer heard Qin Xuelian's words, she excitedly walked to the front of the wooden box. Her bright eyes swept the wooden box and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.
When Fang Zhengzhi saw this, he cursed in his heart.
He had 'obtained' these five treasures from Wu Yuer. Although it wasn't considered embezzlement, he had put in a lot of effort.
Wu Yuer wouldn't be able to sleep for at least half a month for every one of them.
But now …
The five treasures were placed in front of Wu Yuer.
And Wu Yuer was eavesdropping outside the door. Under such circumstances, he knew that Wu Yuer would definitely pick the two most expensive ones.
However, he still underestimated Wu Yuer.
"Auntie, I really like these five antiques! Thank you, Auntie! "Wu Yuer thanked Qin Xuelian" obediently "as she spoke.
Fang Zhengzhi was stunned.
Qin Xuelian was also slightly taken aback. However, after being stunned for a while, she smiled and said, "Alright, since Yu 'er likes all of them, then give them to Yu' er as a betrothal gift. Houde and I don't need these things anyway, Yu 'er can take them all. Also, here are eight hundred thousand silver notes …"
"Mother, I want some time alone." Fang Zhengzhi's heart was bleeding. He knew that Wu Yuer was' evil ', but wasn't it a little too much to be this evil?
The five treasures that he had spent more than a year in the Shadow Sect were taken away by Wu Yuer so effortlessly?
Where's the justice!
Indeed, this girl was up to no good!
"Go." Qin Xuelian waved at Fang Zhengzhi. Then, she pulled Wu Yuer in front of her and said, "Yuer, don't call me auntie in the future!"
"Yes, mother!" Wu Yuer nodded 'shamefully'.
"Wu Yuer, don't go overboard!" Fang Zhengzhi's eyes were slightly red.
"Mother, he bullied me!" Wu Yuer looked at Qin Xuelian 'pitifully'.
"Zheng 'er, you can't be so fierce to Yu' er. Don't think that you can be so mighty just because you have become the Cang Emperor. Let mother tell you, Yu 'er is my daughter-in-law. If you dare to mistreat Yu' er, don't blame mother for being impolite!" Qin Xuelian immediately pulled Yu 'er into her embrace.
"…" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Qin Xuelian, then at Wu Yuer. Finally, he looked at Fang Houde who had been silent all this while. He wanted to say something, but he eventually shut his mouth.
What happened to the battle between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
Why did it become the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law teaming up to bully their son?
Wait a minute!
Something wasn't right.
Wu Yuer was not his wife at all.
But …
Wu Yuer had taken five of his treasures and even pocketed eight hundred thousand taels of silver from him.
No, I have to get it back!
…
The night was cold, and the moon rose.
Of course, the spring night wasn't really cold. However, Fang Zhengzhi's heart was cold, as if he had fallen into an icehouse.
"You took the things, shouldn't you give me some interest?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Wu Yuer, who had just changed into a colourful silk dress, and his face darkened.
Although Wu Yuer was indeed so beautiful that it made one's bones go soft, especially the red dot on her forehead and her slender waist, as well as the seductive charm at the corner of her eyes.
But …
Fang Zhengzhi had always known that Wu Yuer was not easy to deal with. She looked harmless on the outside, but she was an expert at backstabbing.
Even now, he still didn't understand how he lost. Or rather, if he were to face her again, how would he defend himself?
He couldn't defend himself at all!
In a blink of an eye, he had lost everything he had.
She made use of Qin Xuelian's eagerness to have a grandchild, and attacked Qin Xuelian. This was a brilliant backstab.
"What interest do you want?" Wu Yuer placed her hand on her chin and raised her head slightly. She blinked at Fang Zhengzhi as though she was ready to let him do whatever he wanted.
"When I leave tomorrow, help me put on a good act." Fang Zhengzhi looked at Wu Yuer and twitched his mouth. He wouldn't fall for such a small trick.
"Okay." Wu Yuer agreed readily.
"Then it's fine." Fang Zhengzhi nodded and turned to leave. However, after taking a step, he turned back, and his expression became extremely serious.
"Don't worry, I got what I deserve, naturally I won't …"
Wu Yuer explained patiently when she saw the seriousness on Fang Zhengzhi's face. However, she stopped before she could finish her sentence.
Because, she suddenly felt something strange on her chest.
She looked down and saw a hand pressing on her chest. Furthermore, it seemed to be squeezing it arrogantly. This caused her eyes to widen, and she looked at the hand pressing on her chest in disbelief.
Then …
She felt as though she was struck by lightning.
The heat from that hand was so obvious. It was like a warm flame was burning in her chest. It was so hot that her body was trembling a little.
Trembling angrily.
"This is the interest!"
A smile appeared on his serious face. As his voice faded, the figure standing in front of Wu Yuer instantly disappeared, leaving only the residual warmth on her chest.
…
The next morning, at the entrance of the Northern Mountain Village.
Under the influence of Wu Yuer's realistic acting, the eyes of the villagers of the Northern Mountain Village became moist.
Entering the capital to meet the Emperor, no matter how one looked at it, was a joyous occasion. Furthermore, there was another joyous occasion behind this joyous occasion.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be so sorrowful.
However, Wu Yuer's reluctant expression, her tear-filled eyes, her sincere demeanor, and her heart-wrenching poem, all of which made one's heart ache.
"…"
"Since ancient times, love has always been accompanied by parting, even more so, cold autumn festival!"
"Where shall I sober up tonight? The willow shore, the morning breeze and waning moon. "
"After the passing of the year, it should be a beautiful day for nothing."
"Even if there are thousands of romantic feelings, who can I tell them to?"
Even though the villagers did not understand the meaning of the poem, when they heard Wu Yuer recite it in a sobbing voice, how could they not cry?
As for Qin Xuelian and Fang Houde, they had already reached a stage where they would not acknowledge anyone but Wu Yuer.
Fang Zhengzhi did not stop at the entrance of the village. He pointed his middle finger at Wu Yuer and said, "Sad parting? I almost believed it! "
…
After leaving the entrance of the Northern Mountain Village, Fang Zhengzhi finally stopped. He stopped about a mile away from the entrance of the Northern Mountain Village and looked up at the sky.
The sun had risen.
The golden rays shone down from the sky, illuminating the spacious road.
An hour later …
A figure appeared under a tree in the direction of the Cang Ling Mountain. This was also outside of the Northern Mountain Village, but in the opposite direction of the village entrance.
"You're here." Yun Qingwu, dressed in a white dress, walked out from behind the tree. Her jet-black hair fell to her waist as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was dressed in a blue robe.
"Yes, you're here." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"Why are you here?" Yun Qingwu asked.
"Because, a day is up." Fang Zhengzhi replied.
"I see." Yun Qingwu paused for a moment, then nodded her head lightly. Then, she looked at the sky and shook her head, "I didn't think you would really come."
"I didn't think I would come either." Fang Zhengzhi smiled.
"Are you sure you won't regret staying here?"
"Perhaps."
"The Heaven Dao Pavilion competition is about to begin. From here to the Heaven Dao Pavilion, it will take at least a month. You're six days late, can you make it?" Yun Qingwu asked again.
"If I don't go to Flame Capital City, I can save three to four days." Fang Zhengzhi replied casually.
"Three to four days? Even if you save five days, you'll still be late. The Heaven Dao Pavilion doesn't allow people to be late. Furthermore, from what I know, you don't seem to have the token to participate in the competition. "Yun Qingwu continued to look at him.
"I never said that I want to participate in the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test." Fang Zhengzhi smiled again.
"You're not going to participate in the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test?" Yun Qingwu didn't ask any further. She just looked at the sky quietly, watching as the white clouds floated past her head.
Silence …
After some time.
Yun Qingwu finally looked away.
"I'll leave this box with you temporarily."
"Box? What's that? " Fang Zhengzhi looked at the black metal box that appeared in Yun Qingwu's hand, and his expression revealed a hint of doubt.
"Heaven Dao Sage Tablet, thirteen pieces of Heaven Dao Sage Tablets." After Yun Qingwu finished, she placed the black metal box on the ground and turned to leave.
"Why did you give me the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet?"
"I've said that I'll leave it with you temporarily. Four months later, I'll come and get it!"
"Four months later ….. That means before I die? Sounds good, but, do you really believe that I'll return it to you? "Fang Zhengzhi's lips curled up slightly.
"I didn't believe it before, but now I do."
"Because, I'm back here again?"
"Maybe."
"Actually, I'm here to tell you that I'm leaving, you don't have to wait any longer!" Fang Zhengzhi said as he looked at Yun Qingwu walking further and further away.
"Pa da!" Yun Qingwu's feet slanted, and her body trembled, as though she tripped on something. However, she didn't continue to stay.
After a while, she disappeared into the forest.
…..
The Heaven Dao Pavilion was built on the Heaven Mountain, on the Sword Peak.
The reason why the Sword Peak was called the Sword Peak was not because there was a sword on the peak, but because the cliff was as smooth as a sword.
Other than that, there were countless beasts on the other three sides of the forest.
This was a true natural stronghold. More importantly, there were no roads in this stronghold. Regardless of whether it was the three sides of the forest or the cliff, there were no roads.
Not to mention roads …..
There wasn't even a wooden stake.
And today, as the important day of the Heaven Dao Pavilion's biennial selection test, there were naturally many people gathered at the foot of the Heaven Mountain. Every single one of them was dressed in luxurious robes, and they looked very dashing.
Of course, the most elegant one was a young man who leapt down from the back of a flying beast. His pure white scholarly robes fluttered in the air, and the two words "Heaven's Way" printed on his chest shone with a dazzling brilliance under the sunlight.
