"Senior Sister Su Yue..." Pei Yun sat opposite her and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort the person in front of him.

Seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, Su Yue chuckled, patted the back of her hand, and said:

"Don't worry, Junior Sister Pei, I've recovered. I just feel a little regretful. But even if I'm not with Luo Qi, we are still friends..."

“…I’m glad that Senior Sister Su Yue can figure it out.” Pei Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn’t show any sadness on her face.

"In fact, I missed the chance to express my feelings to him time and time again. When I was young, I always liked to show off my strength. I thought that if I wanted to say I liked him, he had to take the initiative to speak first. Later, he followed Uncle Luo to Yunshan Sect, but the direction of cultivation of Huanyue Sect and I were more in line, so I resolutely chose Huanyue Sect. Later, we met less and less, but I always thought that when our strength improved a little bit, with the support of our elders, we would naturally come together..."

Su Yue lowered her head and told Pei Yun about her inner experience in a daze, "... When you wrote to me last time, I felt a little disappointed, but because the sect was selecting disciples at that time, I didn't take it too seriously... Now I think maybe I... didn't like you enough! I have always been a selfish person..."

"No..." Pei Yun held her hand, looked at her seriously and said, "...This is not selfish, it only proves that you are a rational and independent person. Liking someone does not mean to accommodate him, but requires mutual understanding. You and Brother Luo Qi just lack some fate..."

Su Yue smiled silently, sighed deeply, then changed the subject and chatted with her about her recent situation.

Not far outside the house, Luo Qi stood there in a daze. He had thought that he hadn't seen Su Yue for a long time. He heard that she came to Luo Mansion and went to Pei Yun. He was thinking about the three of them getting together, but he didn't expect to hear this conversation.

This was just a coincidence. Pei Yun and the other man thought that no one would come to disturb them in Luo Rufeng's courtyard, so they were not on guard.

He had never thought that Su Yue would have such thoughts about him, and he was still in shock.

"...It's still not too late for you to cancel the wedding now..." Luo Rufeng came to his side at some point and spoke.

Luo Qi came back to his senses, paused, and forced a smile, saying: "Master... Third Uncle, are you kidding! It was me who proposed to marry Junior Sister Wang, how can I go back on my word..."

"But you don't seem happy. A cultivator needs to have a clear mind, and a Taoist partner is a lifelong companion. Have you really made up your mind?"

Among the Luo family, apart from his parents, Luo Rufeng has the deepest feelings for his nephew. After all, he has been with him for so many years.

Luo Qi looked up at Luo Rufeng, and this time his smile was more genuine, because he knew that Luo Rufeng's personality was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and this was him caring about him.

"...Uncle San, I have considered it carefully and I sincerely want to marry Junior Sister Wang. If I don't want to, no one can force me..." As he said this, he bowed to Luo Rufeng, took his leave and left.

As the sun was setting, Pei Yun saw Su Yue off and came to the gate of the courtyard. Unexpectedly, he met Wang Xueer who came there.

Su Yue realized that the person in front of her was Luo Qi's fiancée. She fixed her eyes and looked at her calmly.

Wang Xueer focused almost all of her attention on Pei Yun. She smiled and greeted her, "I didn't expect that Senior Sister Pei had guests here. I wanted to talk to you, but this is really abrupt..."

"It's okay, I'm leaving soon and won't disturb you..." Su Yue said as she waved goodbye to Pei Yun and left.

Pei Yun was very curious about the purpose of Wang Xueer's visit, so she politely welcomed her into the room.

"I wonder what Junior Sister Wang wants to talk to me about?" Pei Yun asked straight to the point.

Because of Luo Qi, she had met Wang Xueer several times and had a neither good nor bad impression of her, but her personality was not the type that Pei Yun was willing to make close friends with.

Wang Xueer didn't speak immediately, but bowed to her before saying, "...This time, Senior Brother Luo and I went through many hardships in a secret place, and finally we understood each other's feelings in the critical moment. Now I feel very sorry for Senior Sister Pei..."

"...Wait a minute!" Pei Yun interrupted her in confusion, "You are with Senior Brother Luo, why...are you sorry for me?"

"...When I was in the sect before, I often heard the brothers and sisters from the various peaks say that Brother Luo and Sister Pei have a close relationship, and that you two have long been in tune with each other..."

"What?" Pei Yun had to interrupt her again.

But she suddenly remembered that when she was in Huanyue Sect, Su Yue had come to her to confirm just because of such gossip. Lu Yu and Zhao Yuexi also seemed to have hinted at it in their words. It seemed that her frequent visits to Lingjian Peak had really caused many people to misunderstand her.

"Junior Sister Wang, you misunderstood. Luo Qi is my senior brother and a friend I value. He is not like what the outside world has rumored..." Pei Yun had to explain patiently.

"Now that you've said that, I feel relieved. Otherwise, I would still be feeling apologetic and sorry for you, Senior Sister..."

Pei Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at her sharply. Somehow, she always felt that the words of the person in front of her even revealed a hint of boasting.

On the way to send her out, she suddenly asked: "If... Luo Qi and I really have a mutual understanding, will you still be with him?"

"... Senior Sister Pei, I really like Senior Brother Luo Qi. If you want me to give up, I really can't bear it, and I don't want to lie to you..."

Pei Yun nodded, said nothing more, and just said goodbye to her.

Luo Rufeng came to her side with his hands behind his back, and looked at Wang Xueer's back as she left. Suddenly he said, "This person has a lot on his mind..."

Hearing this, Pei Yun nodded in agreement, but thinking about her feelings for Luo Qi just now, he said: "Although she is a little thoughtful, she really likes Brother Luo..."

On the other side, Su Yue was about to leave Luo Mansion when she met Luo Qi at the gate.

"...Why are you here?" Su Yue was quite surprised. Looking at his figure at this moment, she felt mixed emotions.

"I heard you were here, and wanted to talk to you, but I didn't expect you to go to Junior Sister Pei's place. Are you leaving now? We haven't seen each other for a long time..." Luo Qi walked to her side with a smile as if nothing had happened.

"It's getting late, I'm going back first."

Su Yue subconsciously avoided his gaze, her eyes somehow feeling a little sour. She could no longer face him with the same playful attitude as before.

"Let me take you there..."

Su Yue choked up and just said "hmm" softly.

The two walked in silence on the street. They had walked through this bustling street countless times, from innocent children to lush young boys and girls, and now, time had passed in a flash. Now, looking back, they realized that they had so many happy memories with each other...

This journey of reminiscence finally came to an end. Su Yue looked up at him again, with a mask of smile on her face, pretending to be relaxed and said: "... I will be returning to the sect in a few days, so I will not be able to attend your wedding. I will invite you and your wife to the Huanyue Sect to chat next time..."

"……it is good."

Su Yue waved goodbye to Luo Qi, then without looking back, walked into the gate of the Su Mansion.

The moment she entered the door, her smile had long disappeared and the tears in her eyes could no longer be stopped from flowing.

What she didn't know was that Luo Qi had been standing alone outside the Su Mansion for the entire night...
