seat next to her

Knowing to

look at ht

refresh up a fan,in

an orderly fashi+on they organised thein one after another

to their seats

Matchmakers

were s social relations, matchmakers were

incomparably braver than deities, matchmakers spoke sords but had a sword

in their bellies, matchmakers were…

“Lady Xia,

this man is certainly a perfect match for you Jia family is also one of the

, he is the second child of the, he also

has an older brother closely related by blood, right now he’s a fourth rank

high official Re, know the

history throughout the ages well, knows funny anecdotes, proficient in all four

arts…”

“The second

son of the Jia family, this officer has happened to have the chance to meet him

once before”

The smile

on theYun Feng:

“To be

able to obtain the Inition, that Lord Jia must be an

a

person, if him and the lady married…”

“It must

not be allowed” wang Yun Feng interrupted, holding his tea cup, brushi+ng aside

the tea leaves and taking a sip to moisten his throat: “The second son of the

Jia fa, he was able to

study history at the age of three, he could recite poetry at the age of four,

at five he entered the Bailu acade to become Teacher

Zhan’s favourite pupil”

The

matchmaker’s eyes shone, chest even ant

expression

Xia Ling

Meiat it carefully, with a little

suspicion: “I think I’ve seen this second son of the Jia family before”

“He studied

together with your fifth uncle’s daughter, he’s that well-known a figure, of

course you’ve seen hirimly

s as he continued: “While he was at Bailu academy, he had a childhood

sweetheart, the feelings between the two people were extreinally

he was prepared to arrange a e,

who knew there would be an unexpected event, the night before the girl reached

e she was snatched away, she was rescued but her reputation was

ruined That Jia fae, the second son sent

a poeirl took her own life”

Xia Ling

Mei frowned: “He sent her a poem?”

“Yes”

“The she

committed suicide?”

“Yes”

Xia Ling

Mei s: “Do you know the

details of that poem?”

wang Yun

Feng drank his tea: “That sort of thing that can ruin someone’s reputation, would

not be the way of a nobleman, I know that verse but I cannot say it, also I

will not say it”

Xia Ling

Mei snorted, tearing that portrait of Lord Jia into two: “Since ancient times,

childhood sweethearts are hard to reach an old age Tell me, isn’t that true?”

wang Yun

Feng pursed his lips, saying to the matchmakers: “Is the portrait of the

martial arts leader here?”

Juan Shu

i offered up the portrait

Different

from the culture and refinement of the men of official influential families,

martial artists had their own heroic ain

hearing theone phrase to

summarise he had heroic bones and soft intestines

“The

ar enteel

people, compared to a scholar who cannot truss a chicken If the lady is

interested, I can find a day for the two of you to test your skills…”

“Enough”

wang Yun Feng again interrupted, “I only want to ask you, how did he get his

position of martial arts leader?”

“Naturally

the righteous sect of ether”

“From what

I know, if there are righteous people in martial arts, there are criminals

So-called nonconforet If

there’s so with the sect they’ll make the leader stand out, the

cri wrong How many

fahteous sect protect hi

to kill him and be very happy afterwards This sort of person, will only ever

be able to hole up in the righteous sects’ doet

closer to the evil sect Looking at it positively he has to protect the peace

of the Jianghu, but looking at it negatively he’s just a coward afraid of

getting involved Ling Mei,” he turned to her, “Xia family are people of the

i is done with the importance of the country in mind,

if you really married a martial arts leader, if there’s conflict between the

martial artists and authorities, would you be on the side of the Jianghu

martial artists or the common people of the court?”

Xia Ling

Mei said indifferently: “The world is large, it does not all belong to the

emperor”

wang Yun

Feng abruptly sneered: “Then if the Jianghu killed people, involving the

innocent common people, would you uphold justice for the co

those in the

Jianghu to pay with their lives for the murders, or follow the

unwritten rules of the Jianghu, if they’re of the righteous sect, a murder

kills because of justice, ants lives are not worth , everyone should

be grateful for the rid of evil for the people?”

The

ritted her teeth: “Such

a fine sharp mouth, worthy to be called the clever and eloquent speaker Senior

imperial censor official, you don’t need a sword to kill someone”

wang Yun

Feng swept his cuffs: “You overpraise me, I’m only worried you’ll marry the

wrong person, it’ll be a lifelong mistake”

The two

people looked at each other, regarding one another ide eyes, watching

intently, viewing each other as ene to

hack the other person into pieces

Numerous matchmakers

were stunned by the indescribable measure for measure between the two people,

not long after, so is

a third rank imperial censor!”

“Ah, ah,

the wang fa”

“Listening

to do, Lord wang and Lady Xia are childhood friends?”

“Aiyo,”

someone waved their hands, “Lady Xia don’t squander the tiroup of old

women In my opinion, don’t be picky, just i”

Someone

even came to realise: “Lady Xia aren’t those requirements modelled on Lord

wang…”

Someone

regretted their past deeds: “I’ve said before this e, as

it turns out the two of the, but still

need to squander their time for no purpose like this, you tired out my old

bones”

A lively

discussion with everybody talking at once started, some beat their own chest

and sta, even more some were

gru in jealousy, after a burst of noise they were coaxed out by Xiu Yu

and Ying shi+, before leaving they even closed the door firmly

Xia Ling

Mei was dizzy with anger: “wang Yun Feng, are you looking for death!”

wang Yun

Feng laughed, he was so proud of himself for the many baseless lies: “The

flowers on the peony trees have fallen, even if I becohost…”

Before he

could finish speaking, the foolish Xiao Bai appeared at thehanging

upside down, shouting: “Master, the son of Liu fa to

see you”

wang Yun

Feng held his breath: “I won’t see him”

“Master, Zhao

Princess Xia Zhi has also come to see you”

Zhao

Princess Xia Zhi, was the first daughter of the Xia family’s third concubine,

Xia Ling Wo, also known as wang Yun Feng’s true childhood sweetheart, is Xia

Ling Mei’s lifelong rival in love
