"Second Uncle, we have something to do, so we'll be leaving now."
Luo Ling cleverly grabbed Xun Mi and Han Shuang and ran away.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, some bad news would come out, and that would be truly tragic.
Luo Ling finally felt relieved when she reached another road.
Suddenly remembering something, he quickly turned to Xunmi and explained.
"Xunmi, Asu did not marry Hua Wumo willingly. You must believe him."
Please don't get angry over these unnecessary things. Asu really needs her right now.
Xunmi watched with amusement as Luo Ling looked distressed and anxiously tried to explain.
"I don't think I said I didn't believe him. Okay, take me to him."
She could believe anyone would betray her, but she would never believe that the person who loved her to the core would betray her.
"That's good, that's good. Asu's house is just ahead." Luo Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them soon appeared in front of a simple and solemn courtyard, which was quite large but looked very comfortable.
Luo Ling greeted the gatekeeper and led the two inside.
All along the way, you could hear chattering and discussion, and you could vaguely hear words like "wedding," "young master," and "perfect match."
Xunmi remained quiet, a faint smile still on her face, seemingly unaffected.
Luo Ling, however, was uneasy, carefully observing Xunmi's expression.
He silently prayed that he would never encounter another gossipy servant; he was truly afraid that this young lady would suddenly explode.
As it turned out, Xunmi's expression remained unchanged until she entered the hall.
"Uncle, Aunt," Luo Ling greeted the two people above cheerfully.
The reception room was filled with many people, clearly divided into groups.
A lovely young girl with big, round eyes sat on one side.
Young Master Su sat opposite the girl, his face cold and his eyes lowered, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Young Master Li Ren was very happy to see Luo Ling and nodded with a smile.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw two unfamiliar women. "Who are these two?"
Everyone looked in the direction of Young Master Li Ren's voice, their expressions varying.
"Uncle, these two are my and Asu's friends."
Luo Ling jumped in front of Gongzi Su and woke him from his meditation.
"Asu, Asu, come and see who's here."
He knew his childhood friend too well. At these gatherings that were a waste of time but couldn't be turned down, he would usually pretend to listen quietly while actually immersing himself in meditation.
I have to say, he's been doing this for so many years and he's never been caught even once. He's amazing.
Young Master Su shut down his five senses, trying to recall the red figure in his mind, that charming smiling face.
He was interrupted by Luo Ling's chattering voice, frowned slightly, but still withdrew from the fantasy.
As soon as I looked up, I saw that familiar red color, and I stood up excitedly.
"Mi'er, is that you?" Did you come to find me?
Xunmi's smile widened as she walked step by step toward Young Master Su.
"Su Su, I promised to come and see you, but it seems like you have no confidence in me at all."
"That won't make me happy." Her eyes slanted upwards, naturally revealing a lively and charming demeanor.
Young Master Su pulled the person he had been longing for into his arms, and his empty heart was finally filled.
If he didn't see this person for a day, he felt that his heart was still in a state of emptiness.
"Mi'er, Mi'er, Mi'er." He kept whispering, and Xunmi let him do as he pleased. Every time he called her name, she would respond.
The two of them hadn't done anything outrageous, yet they somehow gave the impression that they had created their own world.
No one can get involved, and no one wants to get involved at all.
A handsome man with bright eyes gently embraced a beautiful woman; the contrast between the cool elegance of red and the fiery passion of white was so harmonious.
Hua Wumo looked at the woman who was even more dazzling than herself with envy, her face clearly showing her resentment.
She had liked Brother Su for many years and originally thought that she could become Brother Su's wife this time.
Even if she eventually loses all her cultivation, she has no regrets.
But this woman, who appeared out of nowhere, shattered her illusions.
Su Gege's eyes, which had never changed, were now overflowing with sweet emotions.
How could she not understand? Because that was the same look she gave Su-gege.
This is true love, that's why it's so intense and passionate.
But in the end, she still couldn't catch up with Brother Su; Brother Su's was much more profound.
It was as if his world could only hold her, and as if she was his whole world.
Young Master Li Ren and his wife exchanged a glance, both seeing the understanding in each other's eyes.
No wonder they felt something was off about their son's return this time; it turns out he had a sweetheart.
But... the timing is really bad.
Xunmi felt the gazes coming from all directions, her cheeks flushed, she had really forgotten about it.
There were still many people here. She nudged the person holding her and got out of his arms.
He smiled apologetically at the two people in high positions and said, "I'm sorry, I was impolite for a moment."
"I am Xunmi of Liuguang Sect, and this is my disciple Ouyang Hanshuang."
"I apologize for my unauthorized visit to this reclusive family."
"No, no, Miss Xun, you're too kind. Everyone from the Liuguang Sect is very good."
"To have taken on such a talented disciple at such a young age shows that Miss Xun is also a remarkable woman of her generation."
Young Master Li Ren laughed heartily, clearly quite fond of this composed and unassuming woman.
But when his gaze fell on the young girl from the Hua family, he felt a little awkward.
One moment they were discussing her marriage to his son, and the next he, the soon-to-be father-in-law, was praising another girl who was suspected to be his son's lover.
Honestly, I can't even describe how awkward this feels.
"Father, the person I love is Mi'er, so I will not marry Hua Wu Mo."
"If I really can't hold on any longer, I'll take care of it myself."
Gongzi Su stood beside Xunmi, looking at his father with the posture of a protector.
"Also, Mi'er's surname is not Xun; I have already given her the young master's surname."
"If my young master Su has a wife in this life, it will only be her."
That resolute and uncompromising attitude suddenly reminded Gongzi Liren of five-year-old Gongzi Su.
He stood before him in the same way then, saying he was going to the Eye of Death for training.
How could a father agree to let a five-year-old child go to the Eye of Death?
But in the end, he had no choice but to agree, and that departure lasted for ten years.
By the time he returned, he had already traveled far beyond what they, his elders, had accomplished.
Now, seeing this side of his son again, he seems even more resolute than before.
I don't know whether to feel complicated or proud... Sigh...
He thought he should be proud; a child of a noble family should have this kind of courage and responsibility.
"Fine, fine, whatever you want." He knew he couldn't persuade him otherwise.
