Chapter 81: How to Plan a Marriage

  I feel like I can never truly be at peace again, Xiong Xiaotu and the others were caught, later on, it was discovered that it was someone Feng Tungxu knew who did it. Afterwards, I heard from Sai Guangchen that when I met Feng Tungxu, it just so happened to be during his cold poison outbreak period.

  And he should have been lying down for a few days after soaking in warm water, unfortunately, there isn't now.

  I'm afraid something might happen to him suddenly, so I want to let Sai Guangchen go first and take a look.

  Until the sky was near dusk, I still didn't see them come back, and my worries in my heart grew even more.

  "Who are you?" A soft and melodious female voice rose, reminding me of the unfriendly Wahl.

  A glance up, and I saw a woman in a pink dress, looking very pure and tender. I immediately stood up from my chair and greeted her politely: "Hello, I am..."

  Actually, I don't know how to introduce myself because in the Church of Eternal Life, I don't have a formal position.

  "It should be Feng Tengxu's subordinate!"

  "How dare you, is Young Master Xu's name something that you stray cats and dogs can call out casually?" The woman in pink clothes said with a vicious tone, making her originally pure face look much uglier instantly.

  With such a tone and such an appearance, could this girl be Feng Tuo Xu's mistress?

  As for everything about the silver-haired beauty Feng Tuo Xu, I really know nothing, but because of last night's incident, it made me and him break through that wall, if she were to find out... would she be even angrier?

  But what should I be now? A mistress? No, all of this is unexpected. I don't think of myself as a mistress, especially when he has no intention of it either.

  "Sorry, what happened earlier was my fault." I'm just a temporary guest in the Liangyi Temple, so I don't want to provoke anyone. Nor do I want to provoke Feng Tongxu's lover, after all, he is his own superior, if I provoke him, I won't have good fruit to eat in the future.

  "The clothes on your body..." The pink-clothed woman's gaze fell on the beautiful clothes she was wearing. A look of surprise appeared in her eyes, and then she looked at my face again. It would have been better if she hadn't looked, but after looking, her entire face turned deathly pale.

  "Y-y-you......" The woman in pink couldn't utter a complete sentence, and her footsteps, which had originally brought her closer, began to drift away consciously. She asked uncertainly: "Are you a ghost?"

  Ugh... damn it. How did I end up being treated like a ghost?! But, I just remembered, if I really look like Feng Tuo Xu's woman, or maybe she actually mistook me for that woman.

  "I just look like that." I could only say with a embarrassed face, really didn't expect it, Feng Tuo Xu's old lover, is actually known to the whole world. Is she not an ordinary character?

  The woman in pink looked down at the ground with a panicked face. Then, she let out a sigh of relief and said softly, "It's okay, there's a shadow."

  Alright, I think this girl is not stupid, she actually knows to look for shadows below.

  The woman in pink clothes who had just let out a sigh of relief immediately started shaking her head again, and her gaze fell on herself, saying: "No...".

  What's wrong? I have a shadow and can't be considered human? Does she think I'm a zombie or something? But zombies can talk, right?

  I remember that TV series "My Date with a Vampire", okay, the new type of vampire can indeed talk!

  The woman in pink ignored me and turned around, muttering to herself: "It's terrible, I've been waiting for many years, but he still can't help himself and found a woman who looks like Mo Qian'er to satisfy his physical needs..."

  This woman is really something, muttering to herself is one thing, but she's saying it loud enough for me to hear!

  I didn't want to be viewed through colored glasses by a woman in pink, so I immediately retorted: "I'm not the kind of woman you think I am!"

  What happened between Feng Tuo Xu and me was just an accident. I also thought that if it were another woman who fell into that, she would probably be eaten clean by him too. Moreover, I don't want to stay here for long either. As long as Xiong Xiao Tu and the others can return safely, I will leave this place too.

  I still have a lot of tasks to complete and can't stay in the Liangyi Sect as a useless person!

  "He really didn't... with you?" The woman in pink clothes asked me uncertainly.

  Although he hoped that he wouldn't think too much, yet as soon as he thought about the entwined scenes from last night, his heart began to feel unsettled again.

  "Anyway, just don't think nonsense!" I could only comfort the woman in pink clothes like this. Anyway, I didn't plan to hold onto Feng Tongxu tightly and not let go, nor would I decide my own second half of life because of an accident.

  Master's wife, I just thought of such a term, and I feel that if I really settle down with Feng Tuo Xu, he won't be able to return to his original world. If it were someone else, they might even be willing to run away with me to the real world and live a carefree life.

  I don't know if I can bring the beautiful man to the real world, and accidentally meet true love in another realm. Unfortunately, I am no longer myself now...

  But also remember that someone once said, if it's true love, then no one should mind this layer of membrane. Or, this saying can become an effective key for oneself to test whether a man is sincere or not.

  Forget it, the road ahead is still long, and there will naturally be no shortage of annoying things in the future. I can only wait quietly for good news from Feng Tongxu and Sai Guanchen, and indeed should not branch out during the festival.

  A man in light blue clothes suddenly walked in and said with a bow: "Please invite Miss Yan to go to the Huanxuang Pavilion."

  This guy actually knows that I'm surnamed Yan? This is indeed beyond my expectations, however, I think, the things I've done here, Sai Guangchen would naturally also inform his subordinates about, so, I don't need to be too polite either.

  "Trouble you." I smiled politely and agreed readily. I thought to myself, since they've asked for a meeting themselves, the problem should be settled by now, right? I don't know if Xiong Xiaotuo and the others will be okay, but if they can all return safely, it should be fine, right?

  Under the leadership of Shang Yi Nan, I came to Huan Xuan Ge. This pavilion is in a bamboo forest, with a classic architectural design that is somewhat different from others, that is, the patterns on the walls are mostly shaped like strange beasts and some rare plant specimens.

  I stepped inside slowly, and the man in light clothing quietly retreated. All I saw was layer upon layer of white curtains, making everything inside seem somewhat unreal.

  "Is anyone there?" I wouldn't be bored enough to intrude on my own initiative. At first, I thought it would be Feng Tongxu and Sai Guangchen who wanted to see me for themselves. But after entering, looking at those layers of white gauze, I felt that things might not be as simple as I had imagined.

  So it's better not to rush in blindly, and instead wait for his people to come out first.

  "It's me." A magnetic male voice replied simply and clearly. Only then did a silver-haired handsome man walk out from behind the curtain.

  "It was you all along, what's with the secrecy?" I couldn't help but want to roll my eyes at him. It was a relief that it was someone on our side, no need to make such a big fuss! I also couldn't help but recall my previous conversation with the woman in pink, and suddenly realized that I had been a bit too careless with my words.

  Feng Tongxu is the leader of the Li Heng Sect, and also my direct superior. Speaking like this to him, isn't it a bit too presumptuous? But the words have already been spoken, and can't be taken back.

  "I'm sorry, Master. Please forgive me for my sudden words earlier." I lowered my head in embarrassment, as if trying to bury my entire head. Perhaps because both of our meetings were so awkward, I really hadn't thought about the issue of status.

  "You don't have to call me Master, just call me whatever you want." Feng Tongxu glanced at me lightly and said casually.

  Then, his hand rose, and a cold wind arose. White silk fluttered to the ground. All around were walls with no decorations except for a large painting hanging in the center of the wall.

  As I took a closer look at the content of this painting, I couldn't help but be shocked. It was Feng Tongxu holding a portrait of a woman, and upon closer inspection, that woman really looked like me...

  No wonder the woman in pink was so scared. I couldn't help but understand, yet I also didn't know why he wanted to meet with himself here.

  And then there's that sentence of his, I think it can be called whatever you want, plus that painting...

  He won't be thinking of peaches and plums replacing each other, will he?

  "Has what you asked me to do been taken care of?" I could only pretend to ask Feng Tongxu calmly, although I didn't know what he wanted to do, but at least I had to make sure they were safe, right?!

  "He promised to release them the day after tomorrow, and you will see them then."

  The day after tomorrow? How can it be so long?

  I was also thinking, if they didn't have anything to eat, they would definitely be so hungry that their belly would stick to their back.

  "That's good." I nodded, and the big stone in my heart finally fell. As long as they were safe and sound, that was all that mattered. At worst, after they came out, I would treat them to a big meal.

  "Does he have any conditions?" I couldn't help but ask, and that person was actually an old acquaintance of Feng Tuo Xu's, it's impossible to catch people for no reason, there must be some conditions!

  "The condition is..." Suddenly, Feng Tongxu walked up to me, pulled me into his arms and slowly spat out a few words: "Marry me!"

  I've never met that person before, but somehow I'm supposed to marry Feng Tongxu?

  Could it be that he also knew Feng Tuo's old lover? He mistakenly thought I was her, so he hoped that Feng Tuo and I could get married as soon as possible?!

  "Is he mistaken about me?" I frowned and my heart was in turmoil again.

  "Because you look like him, he thinks you're worth it." Feng Tongxu said without a hint of emotion.

  "You guys... I feel so infuriated, what are they playing at? Are they teasing me?"

  But then I thought, if Feng Tongxu wasn't very willing either, I smiled and said: "We can pretend to be married, in that case..."

  Then let's just pretend to get married, that way all problems will be solved, I reckon he'll also be happy about it! (....)
