Yuan Yi said, "As long as two people truly love each other, what does family background matter? Brother Li also rigidly adheres to worldly views. Ai, that girl was only the daughter of a commoner and didn't have a grand family background. However, she had read a lot of books since childhood and was quite knowledgeable. Originally, I wasn't very familiar with her. She was a friend of a good friend of mine. At first, that girl had another sweetheart, so we didn't talk much. At most, we could be considered as acquaintances. However, later on, when I was traveling Jianghu, as luck would have it, I ran into her in a remote and dangerous place. At that time, she was besieged by strong enemies and couldn't hold on any longer. You should know that she didn't know any martial arts. I helped her defeat the enemies and brought her to a safe place to chat with her. Perhaps it was because I was her benefactor, but her attitude towards me had become much closer. It turned out that her sweetheart didn't want her and even said some unpleasant words to humiliate her. In a fit of anger, she ran away on her own, penniless and with nowhere to go. I sympathized with her and was also worried that after I left, she would run into bad people looking for revenge. How would she deal with them? Such a weak girl shouldn't wander about in Jianghu. Since I wanted to help her, I wanted to help her to the end. Thus, I took her with me. Apart from attending to my own cultivation, I could also take care of her at any time. You know, it's just like some cliché dramas. Traveling often means sleeping in the wilderness. In the middle of the night, the two of us couldn't sleep, so we got up and made a fire. While warming ourselves, we talked about life philosophy. Unexpectedly, we found that our thoughts were surprisingly similar. Over time, she finally let down her guard in front of me. Occasionally, she would also reveal some girlish behavior, which only made me feel that she was very cute. Later on, when we arrived in the capital, I helped her find a place to live. Although the house was simple and crude, after we bought cloth and ribbons from the market, we meticulously decorated it. It didn't lose its warmth and uniqueness. I especially went to Shuiyue Nunnery in Chaozhou to burn incense and return a vow. On the way back, I happened to meet Brother Li. I have to say that I am a very cold person. I always sweep the snow in front of my own door. However, this time it was different. People are in high spirits when they encounter happy events. Since happiness was already in sight, I could not watch Brother Li struggle in the sea of bitterness. What's more, you're our matchmaker. If it weren't for your Life Demanding Slash, I wouldn't have known that friend, and I wouldn't have known her either. It's inevitable that we'll miss such a good marriage. "
Li Yijie listened to his long story, but his heart did not feel anything special. He himself had been thwarted in love since six or seven years ago. His heart ached so much that he was almost numb. He was even less interested in other people's talk of 'lovers finally finding their way together'. He reluctantly replied, "Congratulations, Young Master Yuan."
Yuan Yi smiled and said, "You're welcome. My humble home is not far. Brother Li has already heard our story. As my good brother, would you like to come and sit down? " Li Yijie clearly did not want to, but he couldn't tell the truth. Instead, he asked in a roundabout way, "Wouldn't that be presumptuous?"
Yuan Yi said, "That's not a problem. We are honored by Alliance Head Li's presence. It is a great thing to add some splendor to my humble home. As long as you don't mind my humble home. "Li Yijie realized he could not refuse, so he had no choice but to let Yuan Yi take him with a wry smile on his face. But in his heart, other than Shen Shiyun and Nangong Xue, how could there be any other beautiful women in the world? Unfortunately, neither of them could belong to him. This was truly a regretful and painful experience.
When they arrived at the downtown area, Yuan Yi pointed to a mansion on the side and said, "This is it. Brother Li, please." Li Yijie was so astonished that he could not close his mouth. He followed them in, stupefied. He saw a spacious hall in the middle, with bedrooms on both sides. It was about half the size of the Imperial Palace. For a moment, he was flabbergasted and said, "This … this is the humble home you were talking about?" Yuan Yi said, "That's right. If I lived alone, I could naturally make it more humble. But I can't let Sheng Xun suffer."
Li Yijie nodded. He thought to himself that Yuan Yi was a descendant of one of the Four Great Clans. In the past, he lived in a large mansion that occupied a thousand mu. In his eyes, this kind of mansion could only be called "humble home." He joked, "It seems that Young Master Yuan has already prepared a golden house to hide his mistress. How could your secrecy be so good that you even managed to hide it from us friends? Aren't you treating us like outsiders? "
Yuan Yi smiled and said, "Brother Li, you misunderstand. Little Brother hid it from you in order to give the guests a pleasant surprise when we officially send out the wedding invitations. Although I don't have many friends in Jianghu, those worthy of an invitation are even fewer. Your Brother Li is one, but there is one more person. Don't talk about him being elusive. We can't find him in a short time. Even if we give him an invitation, it's hard to say whether or not he'll honor us with his presence. "
Li Yijie had always felt that Yuan Yi was a free and easy person, as if he didn't care about anything. Hearing him talk about someone so seriously, he felt curious. Half comforting and half questioning, he said, "Aren't you overthinking it? If he really is your friend, no matter how busy he is, he should at least take the time to come and congratulate you. Otherwise, there's no need to invite him. "
Yuan Yi said, "Others receiving an invitation is because I, Yuan Yi, think highly of them. But that person, I really don't have any confidence. As long as he doesn't cause trouble and attends my wedding wine, it's because he thinks highly of me. Besides, I'm new to Jianghu and my reputation is important. I don't want others to criticize me because of this. "
The more Li Yijie listened, the more curious he was. He couldn't figure out what kind of bizarre character this person was. "That's your big celebration," he said, "You have the freedom to invite whoever you want, why would others criticize you? Besides, haven't I, the Wulin Alliance Leader, also attended? "
"Oh," Yuan Yi said, "You guys are different. I'm talking about the Seven Evil Spirits. To be able to meet such an opponent in my life, my life was not in vain. It's a pity that although I've exchanged several stances with him, I've never even seen his face. But he's the number one character of the underworld, while I belong to a faction that's neither righteous nor evil. If I openly have dealings with him, won't the Wulin people think that I've been in cahoots with him? Ay, the process of competing with important people is a kind of pursuit, but it's also a kind of enjoyment. People like you won't understand the pleasure. "
Hearing Jiang Liechen's name, Li Yijie's heart skipped a beat; he was very unhappy. Now that Yuan Yi saw him as childish, he thought that Yuan Yi was the one who was incomparably childish. He only remembered the joy of exchanging blows with an expert, but didn't hear the wails and cries of tens of thousands of wronged souls in the underworld. Dissatisfied with his frivolous attitude, she coldly said, "Then I'm really sorry. In my opinion, nothing is more important than eliminating that devil. If I can't protect my life, how can I compare notes on martial arts? "
Just as the atmosphere between the two of them became more and more tense, and it looked like they were about to quarrel, a gentle voice suddenly came from the room. "Yi gege, is there a guest? Why didn't you invite her in to sit? "
When Li Yijie heard this, he felt as if his chest had been heavily punched. He couldn't be more familiar with this voice. It was clearly the voice of his childhood sweetheart, Nangong Xue. From the capital to Chaozhou, he had rushed all the way, experienced many twists and turns, and experienced many hardships. Who would have thought that after searching high and low for her, he would actually find her in Yuan Yi's home? He didn't want to stay even a moment longer, so he directly pushed Yuan Yi aside and rushed into the bedroom on the left, following the voice.
Sure enough, there was a woman standing in the room. She wore an emerald green robe, like a verdant leaf filled with dew after the rain. Just by looking at her back, one could tell that she had an untainted aura, like a floating immortal. She was an indescribable match with Yuan Yi's elegant white robe. Li Yijie immediately felt his mouth and tongue go dry. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and stuttered, "Xue … Xueer, is that you?"
The woman gracefully turned around. Her posture was gentle, like an epiphyllum quietly blooming. Below the bridge of her nose, there was a lustrous white veil covering her face. The hem of the veil gently swayed, making her seem like an illusion, like a dream, like reality. She indifferently said, "Is this Yi gege's honored guest? You're most welcome. Also, I don't know any Xueer. You must have found the wrong person. This humble one is Sheng Xun. Greetings. "
Her voice was also soft and gentle, very different from Nangong Xue's usual impetuous, bold, and unrestrained personality. However, with just that pair of jet-black, lively eyes, other than Nangong Xue, where else could one find another?
Li Yijie blurted out, "Take off your veil and let me see!" The woman who called herself Sheng Xun said, "As a woman of the boudoir, it's inconvenient for me to meet guests. I hope you can understand."
Li Yijie shook his head and said, "Xueer, you don't know how hard it was for me to find you. You can't make fun of me like this!" As he spoke, he took a step forward and held her hands, saying, "I don't know any Sheng Xun. I only know my junior martial sister Xueer. She's the only Nangong Xue! You must have had a hard time these days. How did you get through it? "
Sheng Xun was shocked. She flung his hands away and said, "Show some respect! I'm not that kind of girl. You … why are you touching me and saying such frivolous words again and again when it's the first time we meet? "
Li Yijie said, "What first time are you talking about? We've known each other since we were young. It's been less than ten years since we met. You want to erase the past so easily by saying we don't know each other? You … I know it was my fault last time, but you're taking revenge on me like this … how can you be so heartless? "
At this moment, Yuan Yi hurried in and put his hands between the two of them. He said, "Why are you quarreling the moment you meet? You're not giving me any face! Let me introduce you. This is my future wife, Xia Sheng Xun. Don't think that just because her surname is Xia, she's related to the Xia family of the Four Great Clans … "
Li Yijie didn't wait for him to finish and interrupted, "Nonsense! Her surname isn't Xia. She's my junior martial sister, Nangong Xue. The two of you colluded to deceive me! Otherwise, why would she always wear a veil and not dare to take it off so that we can see clearly? "
Yuan Yi said in a low voice, "Sheng Xun is a girl from a good family. She usually doesn't leave the house, so she can't stand your affectionate ways. She can't compare to those frivolous girls who can joke around. " He then turned to Sheng Xun and explained, "It's my fault that I didn't explain clearly to you. He's the Wulin Alliance Master Li. His name is' Both Superior and Inferior. 'He's been hanging out with a bunch of Wulin heroes for a long time. It's inevitable that he's a bit flamboyant in his actions. Did he scare you?"
Xia Sheng Xun raised her head and glanced coldly at Li Yijie. She said, "So what if he's the Wulin Alliance Master? What's so great about him? I'm not afraid of him! Anyway, I'm not from the Wulin Alliance and I've never done anything outrageous. It's not worthwhile for me to be under his jurisdiction. Tell him to leave! "
Yuan Yi comforted her with a few more words, then used her eyes to signal Li Yijie to apologize as soon as possible. Li Yijie looked at her and said, "Xueer, you know that I've always hoped for you to be happy. Now that you've gotten together with Young Master Yuan, he's a descendant of the Four Great Clans and has enough power to protect you. I can't be happier for the two of you, so you don't have to hide anything. At the very least, let me confirm that you're Xueer and know that you're safe. Then I'll leave! "
Xia Sheng Xun said, "Brother Yi, this person has been saying strange things to me since the beginning. Why can't I understand him at all?"
