815 Aunty Wants You (1/2)
Even though Qian Yu didn't look like she was angry, what she just said still left Ling Yun Tower's disciples in shock.
”Lady Qian Yu wants to punish Fang Zhengzhi for invading Ling Yun Tower?” The disciples stared at each other, unable to comprehend the situation.
However, they quickly realized that Qian Yu was protecting Ling Yun Tower's dignity as the new leader.
However… Did karma come around too quickly?
The disciples were surprised but also felt a little weird when they looked at Fang Zhengzhi.
”Mom, Fang Zhengzhi is… He…” Ping Yang wanted to say something, but she felt a hand on her shoulder at this moment. Ping Yang was startled, and she looked at Fang Zhengzhi. However, Fang Zhengzhi winked at her with a bright smile as if he wasn't angry about Qian Yu's 'betrayal'.
He stopped Ping Yang from speaking, then 'courteously' paid his respect to Qian Yu and said, ”Auntie, how do you know that I've taken the Pentcoloured Wonder Flowers? If I recall correctly, you were still sealed away when I took the flower, right?”
”Not only do I know that you've taken the flower, I also know about what you did to Yang Er beside the Icy Pond. That's because I've been staying inside the Icy Pond for the past dozen years.” Qian Yu replied calmly. From her countenance, it didn't seem like she wanted to go hard on Fang Zhengzhi right away.
”Icy Pond?!” Ping Yang was obviously stunned, and she seemed to have recalled something.
”So, the shadow that I saw in the Icy Pong was actually…”
”Yeah, that's me… I could always see you every single day… I was the shadow that taught you those body movement and techniques.” Qian Yu nodded. Her snow-white hair was swaying with the wind.
”Then, did Cang Yue know…” Ping Yang stopped herself even though she wanted to say something.
”Yes, she knew that I was sealed inside the Icy Pond, because she had also seen my shadow inside the pond before. She was naturally smart enough to guess that I was sealed inside the pond.” Qian Yu nodded again.
”Shadow inside the Icy Pond?” Having heard that, Fang Zhengzhi finally understood how Ping Yang had improved so quickly and learned all those impressive techniques in half a year.
Cang Yue…
Fang Zhengzhi didn't know he should forgive her or continue to hate her. However, since she had already pa.s.sed away, he knew that he should let it go.
Speaking of 'letting it go', Fang Zhengzhi looked and Ping Yang and Qian Yu, and he felt bad for standing in their way of reminiscing about their past memories.
”Ping Yang, I'll take my leave first. You'd keep chatting with auntie.”
”Hold it! Do you think you can leave without repaying the debt?”
Qian Yu obviously wasn't falling for Fang Zhengzhi's trick, so she stopped him immediately.
”So… Auntie, do you mean that… I can leave after paying my debt?” Fang Zhengzhi curled his lips and put on a sincere expression.
”You wis.h.!.+” Qian Yu replied fiercely after she was dazed for a second.
”Auntie, you see… Although we've only met for the first time, we hit it off right away. Since this is a fateful encounter, why do we have to be hostile to each other? Furthermore, you must have already accepted me as a junior since you replied when I called you 'auntie', right?”
”Smooth-tongued!” Qian Yu condemned Fang Zhengzhi again. Then, she looked at him and continued, ”Fang Zhengzhi, I'll be frank with you. The Pentcoloured Wonder Flowers is Ling Yun Towers' treasure, so you can't take it away. Furthermore, I can't let you off easily for invading Ling Yun Tower.”
”Auntie, what are you suggesting?”
”It's simple. Although Ling Yun Tower had never accepted a male disciple, I will allow you to join the sect since you've pa.s.sed my sister's trial. Therefore, you can stay here. Additionally… Since you've had physical contact with Ping Yang, we shouldn't delay this matter any further. The eighth of next month is a good day to get married. You can complete the traditional wedding rituals in Ling Yun Tower first before hosting the wedding ceremony in Flame Capital City.” Qian Yu replied flatly.
All of Ling Yun Tower's disciples were dumbfounded by what she had just said. Even Ping Yang was astounded.
None of them could comprehend the situation.
Marriage? Wasn't Qian Yu going to restore Ling Yun Tower's dignity by killing Fang Zhengzhi? How did that turn into a marriage? What was going on?
”Auntie, are you forcing me to marry Ping Yang?” Fang Zhengzhi was a little surprised, but he wasn't completely caught off-guard.
After all, he knew that he was attractive, and it was also not the first time that something like this had happened to him. Therefore, he was mentally prepared.
”Are you not willing?”
”Well… To be honest, I'm still fairly young. Our ancestors have said that a man must be ambitious. Hence, a real man like myself should be fighting gloriously in wars…
”You could still do that even after marrying Yang Er. Furthermore, Yang Er is Great Xia Dynasty's princess, so you'd become the emperor's son-in-law if you marry her. I'd also offer you a place in Ling Yun Tower. I would appoint you as Ling Yun Tower's next leader 100 years later, if you are willing to accept that offer.” Qian Yu waved her hand and interrupted Fang Zhengzhi's nonsense.
”That sounds great.” Fang Zhengzhi smiled and nodded.
”So, does that mean you have agreed to my suggestion?” A smile appeared on Qian Yu's cold expression as if the snow had melted.
”I would love to, but….”
”But what?”
”I've already said that I'm a real man. Hence, I'd like to make it by myself rather than accepting someone's charity. Furthermore, there's still a long time until the eighth of next month. I don't have time to stay in Ling Yun Tower until then.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
Ping Yang's blush turned a little pale when she heard that. However, she just kept quiet and gazed at Fang Zhengzhi.
”Don't have time?” Qian Yu seemed displeased by his reply.
”That's right. I need to go to Yin Yang Hall immediately to look for a person!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
”It is less than a month away till the eighth of next month, and there's barely enough time to plan a wedding. Can't you wait that long?”
”No, I can't.”
”What if I demand you to wait?”
”Auntie, a forced relations.h.i.+p won't work out.”
”At least it's better than not having a relations.h.i.+p.”
