Yuan Yi's gaze only lingered on his face for a moment before he immediately turned to Nangong Xue. He asked calmly, "Shengxun, what do you think?"
Nangong Xue's smile was as beautiful as peach blossoms in March. She looked at Li Yijie, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection. She said, "What Elder Martial Brother said is exactly what I think."
Li Yijie was still worried that Yuan Yi wouldn't agree, but he was also afraid that he would make things difficult for Nangong Xue. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young Master Yuan, if you want to blame someone, then blame me. But at most, you can blame me for not being loyal to my brother and for falling in love with Xueer. There is nothing wrong with that. There were many misunderstandings in the past, and that is why we have been separated until now. You must know that Xia Shengxun is just a figment of Xueer's imagination when he was angry with me. In reality, he doesn't even exist. If you want to spend the rest of your life with this illusion, you will never be happy! At the same time, you will also make another pair of lovers regret for the rest of their lives. If you think about it carefully, how can you bear to do that? Young Master Yuan, you are such a good person. You are skilled in martial arts, you have a wide network of connections, and you are also very handsome. You don't have to worry about not being able to find a better girl to be with you. If you really can't find one, I will be your matchmaker … "
Yuan Yi smiled faintly. He waved his hand and said, "No need to say more. I agree."
Li Yijie was overjoyed. He was so happy that he felt like he was about to fly. He repeatedly said, "Thank you, thank you! Young Master Yuan, I know that you are the most magnanimous person in the world. You are Li Yijie's greatest benefactor! We will always remember your kindness! When we have children in the future, the first one will be named after you … "Yuan Yi forced a smile and said," I'll skip the last one. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too unfair for us to be one generation younger than you and your wife? "
Li Yijie was indeed overjoyed. He chatted with him for a while, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. He said, "That's not right. How can someone make you give up your wife with just a few words? In your heart, have you ever loved Xueer? "
Yuan Yi laughed aloud and clapped, "Interesting, interesting! I say, Brother Li, instead of being grateful to me for helping you two lovers, you're in a hurry to seek justice for Sheng Xun? As expected of the Wulin Alliance Master who takes the world as his own responsibility. "
Li Yijie blushed slightly. He then looked at Nangong Xue. Nangong Xue didn't look any better than him. Smiling sweetly, she said, "Senior Brother, you've misunderstood Young Master Yuan. He's working with me because he wants to help me, so that you can figure out your feelings earlier. Setting the wedding date in such a hurry is also to further provoke you. Take this as a test for you. No matter what, I'm still the Nangong Heroine of the Mount Hua Sect. How could I be so easily married? Congratulations, you've successfully passed. "
Li Yijie felt a wave of heartfelt joy, but at the same time, a wave of lingering fear rose up in his heart. He turned to Yuan Yi and probed, "Then if I can't satisfy Xueer within the time limit, will you … really … honor that marriage contract?" Saying the last six words nearly exhausted all of his strength.
Yuan Yi smiled and said, "Between us, there's no order from our parents, and there's no matchmaker, so how could there be any marriage contract? It was all said to deceive you. Sheng Xun, no, Xueer is a good girl. She understands others, dares to love and dares to hate. If I can really marry her, it'll be my fortune. Of course, in the end, it'll still be up to her. I definitely won't force her. Seeing you hit a wall again and again, not to mention you, even I feel anxious for you two. I really wish I could warn you in person. But since I've already promised Xueer, I have to abide by the rules of the game. Fortunately, the two of you have finally turned weapons of war into gifts of jade and silk. The lovers have finally found their way together. I give you my blessings. However, don't think that this is the end. If you dare to treat Xueer badly in the future, don't forget that I'm still watching from behind. I can take advantage of this opportunity to sneak in at any time. "
At this moment, Li Yijie's mind was completely muddled by the shock of great joy and great sorrow. He recalled how Yuan Yi had solemnly promised him that Xia Sheng Xun was definitely not a Nangong Xue. Yuan Yi had even used a set of great principles to fob him off, almost really turning him around. When he found out that it was all a scam, but it was done out of good intentions, he didn't know whether to be happy or angry.
His chest surged with emotions. He grasped Yuan Yi's hands and said, "Young Master Yuan, I'm not good with words. I can't say anything nice. I have thousands of words to say, but they can all be summed up into one word: thank you! Thank you for everything you've done for me and Xueer! In the future, you'll definitely find a girl who's a hundred times, a thousand times better than her! "This sentence was tantamount to denying Yuan Yi the possibility of 'taking advantage of this opportunity'.
No matter what, Yuan Yi's expression was always calm. He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Li, you're dreaming. Brothers can't be dismissed with just a word of 'thank you'. It's not too much for me to ask for a feast at your wedding, right? "
Li Yijie said, "Of course, of course! Right, speaking of this matter, I just wanted to discuss it with you. My residence in the palace is simple and crude. Normally, I don't mind, but on the day of my wedding, I can't wrong Xueer, can I? It just so happens that your residence is decorated with lanterns and colored banners. You've already made all the preparations for the wedding. It would be a waste if you don't use it. Why don't you lend it to us as a favor? "
Yuan Yi laughed and said, "The wool comes from the sheep's back! Brother Li, you really know how to take advantage of others. "Li Yijie said," Isn't it all for Xueer's sake? A girl will only get married once in her life. Naturally I have to give her a grand gift. "
Yuan Yi laughed and said, "That's incredible. Xueer, you see, he hasn't married you yet, but he already knows how to use your name as a shield. What will happen in the future? Why don't you let me be your maternal brother? If he dares to bully you after the wedding, don't hesitate to tell me. I guarantee that I'll get justice for you! "
Li Yijie looked at the two of them. He knew that the situation was far from favorable for him. He laughed bitterly and said, "How would I dare to bully her? You don't need to do anything. If she causes another Xia Shengxun and ignores me, won't I suffer a great loss? "The three of them laughed together again.
Li Yijie took advantage of the joyous atmosphere and pulled Nangong Xue. He pretended to be casual and said, "Xueer, our wedding must be celebrated in a lively manner. Naturally the more people who know about it, the better. Tomorrow I'll take you to the palace to meet some friends and tell them about it. "
As expected, Nangong Xue's expression turned cold as soon as she heard what he said. She said, "What? Do you have any friends in the palace? Do you think I don't know? Isn't it all because of Shen Shiyun? Why are you so eager to get close to her? Don't tell me that our wedding must first be approved by her? "
Li Yijie laughed dryly and said, "Xueer, there you go again. You just said that you won't interfere with her making friends. Why are you getting jealous again?" Nangong Xue said, "That's what you said, I didn't say anything." Li Yijie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Yuan Yi, wanting to ask him for help. Yuan Yi smiled helplessly and turned his head away. He had an expression that said, "This has nothing to do with me."
Li Yijie felt helpless. He could only plead with Nangong Xue, saying, "Calm down first. Think about it, if I invited you to Mount Hua to give the wedding invitations to my martial sisters, wouldn't you be angry?" He waved his hand to stop her from complaining and continued, "Similarly, you don't need to think too much about Yun 'er. Don't tell me that she's just an ordinary friend of ours. At this time, shouldn't you tell her the good news? She's the noble Imperial Concubine. She and I are obviously two different people. How can I be worthy of her? "
Nangong Xue still held a grudge, thinking, "It's just that you can't be worthy of her, but that doesn't mean you don't want to be worthy of her." She thought that it was rare for her to get back together with Li Yijie, so there was no need to ruin their relationship in just a few words. She suppressed her anger and said, "Do as you wish. After all, women only need to take care of the house. Men will take care of all the social matters outside. In comparison, I'm more interested in that military advisor behind your back. Who is it that's so amazing that he's given you all these wonderful ideas to win my favor? "
Li Yijie's expression immediately became awkward. It wasn't easy for him to change the topic away from Shen Shiyun. Now that he had to reply, he couldn't avoid it. He forced a smile and said, "That's right. He's called Xuan Shuang. Have I mentioned him to you before? He used to be my disciple, but recently … his martial art skill has advanced by leaps and bounds. He's no longer my disciple. As the saying goes, even if business is not done, benevolence is still … "
Nangong Xue bit her lip and said in her heart, "What else is there to say? Isn't he Shen Shiyun's son? The little devil who's been rumored to follow Jiang Liechen around the Jianghu and commit crimes everywhere? " But thinking that this matter was in front of Li Yijie, she had to give him some face. It was not appropriate to publicize it, so she did her best to suppress it. That evening, Yuan Yi arranged a guest room for the two of them. Li Yijie and Nangong Xue were naturally very happy. What was rare was that before the wedding night, they didn't overstep half a step.
The next day, Li Yijie took Nangong Xue to the Palace. The carriage was bumpy all the way, Nangong Xue's heart was also beating wildly and uneasily. She always felt that the good thing between her and Li Yijie would be very unpredictable, and that it would be difficult for everything to go smoothly.
Half of her life had been bumpy, she didn't dare to believe that this unexpected fortune would really fall into her lap. Several times she wanted to jump out of the carriage and run away, but her left hand was tightly held by Li Yijie. If she struggled slightly, he would feel it. She had no choice but to sit upright and still. But when she thought about the many obstacles in front of her, her heart felt empty and she wanted to retreat. She wished that this road would never come to an end. This was the first time she showed such a childish thought like an ordinary person.
The two of them had different thoughts. In Li Yijie's opinion, the carriage had traveled for nearly a hundred years. Nangong Xue only felt that for a moment, she heard the horse neighing and slowly came to a stop. Li Yijie stepped out of the carriage first, turned around, and extended his hand to Nangong Xue.
Nangong Xue was slightly startled, and for a moment she felt a little absent-minded. She didn't know why, but it seemed that once she extended her hand, she had accepted his invitation to formally bow to the Heaven and Earth in front of hundreds of guests. In this life, after marriage, there was no turning back.
She raised her eyelids slightly and looked at Li Yijie's expectant eyes. This was the Shixiong she had been waiting for for so many years. Now that all her sorrow had finally paid off, Li Yijie had once again taken the initiative to confess his love to her, promising that they would never leave each other. But what was she worried about? In the distance, it was as if there was a ball of shadow, enveloping the two of them from all directions.
She looked at the carriage shaft and saw that it was not too far from the ground. She jumped lightly, disregarding Li Yijie's support, and jumped down of her own accord. She calmly said, "We are the sons and daughters of Jianghu, we are used to riding tall horses. Do you think that just getting down from a carriage will cause us to fall?"
When Li Yijie heard her cold tone, he panicked and said, "Why are you … Xue 'er, did I do something wrong again to make you angry?" Because of the lesson he learned from "Xia Sheng Xun", he was now very careful and cautious in handling matters.
Nangong Xue gently shook her head and said, "No, Shixiong. You treat me very well, it's just that I'm not happy about it. I'm destined to be a person with a hard life. The happier we are, the more I doubt the authenticity of this happiness. I'm afraid that one day I'll lose your love. How am I going to live then? I've always been a pragmatic person. Compared to falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, I'd rather be in hell from the beginning. Shixiong, you have to think clearly. Marriage is not a child's play. Once you've decided, you can't go back on your word. You … do you really want me? Actually, you have to understand that you don't have to force yourself … to take responsibility for me just because you feel guilty. "
