After they had left the main hall and arrived at the back of the mountains, Ling Xian"er asked curiously, “Sister-in-law, what did you do to them? They looked as if they had just met a ghost or something.”
Bai Luochu looked at Ling Xian"er and felt envious of her. It was obvious that she had been pampered since a young age. She didn"t target Ling Xian"er when she released her aura earlier as she knew that Ling Xian"er would be dead if she did.
“Let"s go find Qingfeng now.” Now that she had made sure that the elders no longer had any objections, it was time to look at whether or not Qingfeng had settled the problem on his side. After all, even she had to be mindful of the person called Ao Xue.
Their names are really compatible with each other… If Pei Qingfeng were to get together with her, Bai Luochu was almost sure her emotions would run wild and she would overturn the entire sect.
“Qingfeng, have you come to find me today to withdraw from our marriage?” Bai Luochu could only see the back of the girl, but she could feel that she was a gentle and outstanding beauty.
Pei Qingfeng took a few steps back to maintain a safe distance from her before replying, “Miss Ao Xue, please conduct yourself with dignity. Even though I wasn"t clear enough in the past, I have always treated you as my younger sister. Now that I have found the person I love, it"s about time that I clear this up with you once and for all. Otherwise, it will be irresponsible of me towards the both of you”
She let out a sigh after a long while. “I still thought that I was a good match for you. All these years you didn"t show interest in other girls… You should have told me earlier if you weren"t interested in me. If you did, at least I wouldn"t have waited foolishly for you. I can"t believe that you are such an irresponsible person! The lady who has fallen in love with you is probably blind…”
When Bai Luochu saw this unfold in front of her, she understood that this lady was most likely just following her family"s instructions. Otherwise, it wouldn"t be possible for her to give up so easily.
She felt that there was no need for her to hide anymore, and she revealed herself.
“Thank you for your well wishes.” Bai Luochu said as she walked towards Ao Xue.
The person standing before her was prettier than she had imagined. Her jet-black eyebrows were perfect and her long eyelashes accentuated the beauty of her crystal clear eyes. She gave people a sense of familiarity and her cherry-like lips added the final touch of beauty onto her face.
She"s so pretty!
Bai Luochu felt that it was strange that Pei Qingfeng wasn"t moved by the beauty in front of her.
Hearing an unfamiliar voice, Ao Xue turned her head around and discovered that Bai Luochu was now standing beside Pei Qingfeng. She then nodded her head faintly, “It"s not about whether I wish you well or not... Now that one side is unwilling, there"s no point in me being stubborn. If you are able to take this devil away from me, I will be thanking the G.o.ds.”
Bai Luochu looked into Ao Xue"s eyes and immediately came to an understanding. “It looks like Miss Ao Xue indeed has no feelings for him.”
Ao Xue"s eyebrows jumped and she giggled, “Hey! You can"t just expose my feelings like this!”
Pei Qingfeng fell into a state of shock and he wasn"t able to force the words out of his mouth. Before he could organize his thoughts, Ao Xue interrupted him. “Now that I"ve agreed to withdraw from this marriage, I must return and inform my parents about this. Alright, I shan"t disturb you any longer. Xian"er, let"s go.”
Ao Xue then forcefully pulled Ling Xian"er and flew away with her in tow.
“Sigh, even I am impressed by her beauty. Qingfeng, are you sure you are not moved by her looks?”
Pei Qingfeng shook his head and denied, “No matter how pretty she is, I can only see her as my younger sister. It"s impossible for any other type of relations.h.i.+p to happen between us.”
“Tsk tsk.” Bai Luochu clicked her tongue and was amazed at how good Pei Qingfeng was at taking nonsense.
“Don"t you think it"s about time for you to tell me your ident.i.ty?” Bai Luochu felt that it was time for Pei Qingfeng to confess his secrets to her now that things had settled down.
After Bai Luochu had pointed it out, Pei Qingfeng felt extremely embarra.s.sed. After all, he had hid it from her for quite some time, “I am actually not the old emperor"s son. The Second Prince of the Cloud Water Nation is only one of the many ident.i.ties I have. My real ident.i.ty is the eldest son of the Ling Yun Sect. You may not have heard of this name before, but I"m sure that you have heard about a big secret residing within the lake south east of the Cloud Water Nation. The Ling Yun Sect is that secret.”
Bai Luochu finally understood the reason behind the sense of familiarity.
“Then how did you end up becoming the Second Prince of Cloud Water Nation? This… this doesn"t make sense.”
“When I was young, I was poisoned by someone else. To save me, my father had no choice but to send me to Water Cloud Nation to slow down the growth of my cultivation. Otherwise, the poison array would flare up sooner than I expected. I managed to hold on for many years, until the day I met you.”
Bai Luochu couldn"t imagine that even the happy and lively Pei Qingfeng would have such a sad past.
“However, everything is in the past. Now that the poison in my body is cured, the only thing we need to do is to discuss our marriage.” Pei Qingfeng patted Bai Luochu"s head lovingly.
Bai Luochu"s face flushed red and she pouted, “There"s no need to rush things! I am still too young to be talking about marriage!”
