On the surface, Bai Li Ren was calm, but his eyes turned a few shades gentler as he spoke indifferently: “We understand nephew’s intentions, marriage is not a casual thing, so we still need to ponder over it. Nephew must have a long and arduous journey. Men, bring Prince Bai to a place to rest…”
Stopping Bai Chen Feng from getting any chance to speak further.
He walked away unhurriedly.
Bai Chen Feng saw Nan Gong Bei Chen when he was in the rest area and could not help but grumble about Bai Li Ren, literally like a thousand-year-old fox! Only casually glancing at the betrothal gifts, listened to the conditions, but not expressing anything else, no one knows what he was thinking!
Nan Gong Bei Chen felt slightly satisfied when he saw Bai Chen Feng suffering.
Over the past few days, Nan Gong Bei Chen has been watching these people coming with marriage proposals but was met with a picky Bai Li Ren, who did not return any promises or thoughts to them, leaving them hanging.
Each candidate felt their hearts were on fire, yet they had to act calm and magnanimous on the surface.
***
Bai Li Clan.
Huan Qing Yan was given the quietest and most central location of the clan for seclusion, the courtyard house also possessed rich spirit energy.
The exterior of the building was filled with Crazy Sage’s close aides. They protected the building, not allowing a fly to enter its boundaries.
Except for Crazy Sage and Elder Snow, who occasionally visited, no one else was allowed entry.
Rumors and information were also not allowed within the area, anyone discovered to break this rule would be severely punished.
That was why Huan Qing Yan was completely unaware that there were countless people currently waiting outside the Bai Li Clan to seek her hand in marriage.
She focused only on stabilizing cultivation.
On a certain day.
She suddenly felt her heart skipped a beat, as though something tugged at her heart; it felt sour and tender, causing her frozen heart to seemingly soften slightly.
That warm feeling also caused her depressed and gloomy heart to feel slightly more relaxed.
For some reason, Huan Qing Yan could not help but smile as she clutched her heart.
This change happened to be seen by Elder Snow, who just arrived to pay her a visit, ease flashed through his eyes as he quietly left.
***
A small courtyard house where Madam Ru stayed.
Ji Mo Ya stood outside the building the courtyard and watched the building, no one knowing what he was thinking.
When Mu Rong Xin Nuo heard the news, she quickly came out, her eyes shined as she rushed towards Ji Mo Ya: “Cousin~ Cousin~ It is so great to see you, wuu wuu”
Ji Mo Ya took a sidestep and avoided Mu Rong Xin Nuo, he asked with a cold expression: “What are you crying for?”
Seeing that she did not manage to hug the person, Mu Rong Xin Nuo was startled for a moment before she wiped away the tears, peeked at Ji Mo Ya’s expression and stood obediently at one side: “Xin Nuo is happy to see Cousin. Are you here to forgive auntie? She was regretting dearly, and is living a harsh life, why not Cousin pay her a visit?”
Ji Mo Ya gave Mu Rong Xin Nuo a deep look, causing her to be at a loss, not knowing where to look before he nodded.
When Mu Rong Xin Nuo saw Ji Mo Ya nodded, she nearly jumped in happiness, her face was full of smiles before her eyes were dried.
Like the morning dew on a lotus flower, extremely lovely and pitiful.
Ji Mo Ya did not even bother to look at her another time and started walking into the house.
Mu Rong Xin Nuo watched the door of the courtyard closed, a streak of silent tear rolled off her cheek as she stood there quietly. Later, she slowly walked away.
When Ji Mo Ya entered the courtyard, this placed that used to look luxurious and glorious was now looking gloomy and desolate.
With no one cleaning the place and trimming the plants, weeds grew everywhere, even though the gaps between the bricks on the walkway.
