Chapter 25 Huaishui Bamboo Pavilion
"This is the girl's identity token, please take it back."

Dongfang Tianyu did not try to keep him, but simply returned the identity token he had borrowed before to Dongfang Huaizhu.

Originally, he intended to use this token to prove that he would not harm Dongfang Qinlan, but since they went to rescue people together, the token was not used. Returning it now can be regarded as returning it to its original owner.

"During the trip to the South Country, the young master saved my life. Dongfang Huaizhu will always remember it in his heart. If we are lucky enough to meet again in the future, the Dongfang family will definitely give him a valuable gift to express our gratitude."

Holding the token in hand, Dongfang Huaizhu turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered this matter. Looking back, she respectfully expressed her gratitude.

"I appreciate the Dongfang family's generous gift. But it would be a great honor if the young lady could thank you in person."

Dongfang Tianyu smiled, with a hint of teasing in his words.

"In that case, on the seventh day of next month, I will be waiting for you at the Huaishui Bamboo Pavilion, located beside the Shenhuoshan Villa."

After Dongfang Huaizhu finished speaking, he took Dongfang Qinlan's hand and they both left gracefully.

After they flew for a distance, Dongfang Tianyu followed them quietly, guarding them silently like a shadow.

In the next three days, the two sisters of the Dongfang family worked tirelessly to collect enough herbs to meet Dongfang Gu Yue's needs.

Throughout the process, Dongfang Tianyu always silently guarded them in the dark to ensure their safety. In the end, the two sisters returned to Shenhuoshan Villa safely.

"Brother Tianyu!"

As soon as she stepped into the gate of Shenhuoshan Villa, Dongfang Qinlan's eyes were immediately fixed on Dongfang Tianyu, who was dressed in a flowing Taoist robe. She ran forward quickly and threw herself into his arms without hesitation.

"Brother Tianyu, where did you go that night? Qin Lan looked for you for a long time but couldn't find any trace of you."

"If it wasn't for that mysterious masked hero telling me that you have returned safely, I'm afraid..."

Dongfang Qinlan's voice gradually choked up, and she buried her head deeply in Dongfang Tianyu's chest, releasing all the worry and longing in her heart.

Feeling the wetness and coolness on his chest, Dongfang Tianyu felt an indescribable guilt and pain in his heart. He didn't expect that just changing his identity would make Qin Lan so concerned and worried.

"Qin Lan, don't cry. Brother is always by your side."

Dongfang Tianyu stroked her hair gently and comforted her softly.

"You're lying! Brother Tianyu doesn't care about Qin Lan at all, otherwise why wouldn't he come to see me for so long?"

After a brief period of crying, Dongfang Qinlan raised her head, with a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Dongfang Tianyu knew that he was in the wrong first, so he could only remain silent and hugged Qin Lan tighter in his arms.

At this time, Jin Renfeng who was standing by witnessed this scene. The jealousy and anger in his heart were like a blazing flame that almost swallowed him up.

"By the way, Brother Tianyu." Dongfang Qinlan suddenly raised her head, with gossip flashing in her eyes, "This time, my sister and I were both saved by the red-faced swordsman. My sister seems to have a good impression of him."

After that, she slyly leaned close to Dongfang Tianyu's ear and whispered, "Brother Tianyu, you have to work harder, otherwise my sister will be snatched away by someone else." Dongfang Tianyu heard this and pretended to be curious and asked, "Oh? Is this true?"

"Of course it's true!" Dongfang Qinlan said confidently, "So Brother Tianyu, you have to act quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

As the two were talking, a medicine boy hurried over and interrupted their conversation: "Young Master, the owner of the manor wants to see you. He wants you to go to his room, saying that he has something important to discuss."

Dongfang Tianyu had to temporarily bid farewell to Dongfang Qinlan and turned to walk towards Dongfang Guyue's room. His heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, wondering why the owner of the manor summoned him this time.

"Father, what do you want from me?"

Dongfang Tianyu walked into Dongfang Guyue's study lightly, and saw Dongfang Huaizhu sitting quietly beside him, who seemed to have just finished a secret talk with his father. He nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze to Dongfang Guyue who was sitting at the desk.

There was a hint of complex emotions in Dongfang Huaizhu's eyes. Dongfang Tianyu knew that she was concerned about him, so he smiled back and shook his head gently to indicate that he was fine.

"What is your attitude towards your marriage with the Wang Quan family?"

After Dongfang Huaizhu quietly left the room, Dongfang Guyue finally spoke, with a serious tone in his voice.

"I have made my position clear last time. Didn't Father understand?"

Dongfang Tianyu frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised that his father mentioned this matter again.

"Recently, all the major families have been spreading rumors that your marriage to Wang Quanzui is a foregone conclusion and that a date will be chosen for the wedding." Dongfang Guyue said slowly, "I originally thought that you changed your mind and leaked this matter, but now it seems that is not the case."

Dongfang Guyue frowned at this point. As the owner of Shenhuoshan Manor, he knew the damage such rumors would cause to the reputation of the two families. If handled improperly, not only would the reputation of Dongfang Tianyu and Wang Quanzui be damaged, but the two villas would also be in a passive position.

"So, I am now solemnly asking you, what are your plans for this marriage?" Dongfang Guyue asked in a deep voice, "If you really don't want to, I can write a letter to Wangquan Villa for you, and our two families will come forward to clarify the matter together."

However, once this method is implemented, there will be no possibility between Dongfang Tianyu and Wang Quanzui. Dongfang Tianyu obviously also realized this, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.

"I will go to Wang Quan's house and explain this matter to you personally, so you don't have to worry about it."

……

Time flies, and it is already the seventh day of the next month. Dongfang Huaizhu slowly approaches the Huaishui Bamboo Pavilion near Shenhuoshan Villa by boat. The scenery here is pleasant, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, as if it is a painting carefully carved by nature. It is a great place to relax. However, when she arrived, she found that the figure she wanted to see did not appear.

Indeed, she had only agreed with him to meet again at the Huaishui Bamboo Pavilion, but he had not explicitly agreed. It seemed reasonable for her not to come to the appointment.

Despite this, Dongfang Huaizhu still felt a little disappointed. She stood at the bow, gazing into the distance, as if she could see the familiar figure in the hazy mist.

"girl."

Just as Dongfang Huaizhu began to doubt whether this trip was in vain, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

She turned around and saw a figure standing on the bamboo pavilion, wearing a familiar red mask on his face. A hint of surprise flashed in Dongfang Huaizhu's eyes. Just as she was about to speak, the other party jumped and landed steadily on her boat.
