Yun Ji, who had defeated Tang Ao, wasn't as happy as he thought. After the audience dispersed, Yunji stretched out her hand towards Tang Ao. ”It's mine.”

Tang Ao was confused: ”What?”

Yun Ji stomped her foot and said, ”My Eight Trigrams Mirror.”

Tang Ao, who had always been honest, was now acting stupid: ”What Eight Trigrams Mirror?”

”...” It's the one that I lost to you that year. ”

”Since you've lost to me, there's no reason for you to go back.” He replied to Yun Ji in accordance with what Murong Xiu had told him.

”I don't care, bring it over!” Yunji began to act shamelessly.

”I put this Eight Trigrams Mirror here,” Tang Ao continued to use the words that Murong Xiu had taught him, but he felt that it was a bit strange to say it like this, so he couldn't help but blush. ”Once, when I went to the battlefield, an enemy arrow shot into my chest, and I thought I was dead for sure, but I didn't expect this Eight Trigrams Mirror to protect me …” It's not that I don't want to return it to you, but when you gave it to me, the Eight Trigrams Mirror was intact.

He forcefully pulled out the Eight Trigrams Mirror from his chest. ”Look, the surface of the mirror already has a crack. Do you still want this?”

Yunji looked at the cracked mirror for a long time without saying anything. Tang Ao didn't know what to say, but just when Tang Ao was scratching his stomach thinking of the words, Yunji suddenly started crying.

”If Yunji cries, hug her and comfort her.” Murong Xiu's warning rang in Tang Ao's ears once more. He hesitated for a moment before raising his hand to hug Yunji's shoulder. Unexpectedly, Yunji suddenly changed directions and ran away.

Tang Ao's feet seemed to stick to the ground, frozen in place. This made Murong Xiu, who was watching from the side, extremely anxious. He couldn't help but say, ”Hurry up and chase him!”

This loud shout roused the dazed Tang Ao from his stupor. He hurriedly ran in the direction Yun Ji had fled in, chasing after her.

Tang Ao chased after Yunji all the way to a small forest in the capital's outskirts. This forest was the one where Murong Xiu had escaped from, so it was relatively sparsely populated.

Tang Ao silently followed Yun Ji, not saying a word. Yunji knew that Tang Ao was following her and gradually stopped crying. She suddenly turned around and asked, ”Why are you following me?”

”...” ”I'm worried about you …” He subconsciously said it out loud.

”I'm fine, I don't need you to worry!” Yunji was still very stubborn.

”But you're crying …” Tang Ao stammered.

”If I want to cry, I'll cry. What can you do about it?” Yunji continued to argue.

”Yes, yes, yes, I don't care. It's just that I don't want to see you cry.” The honest Tang Ao honestly said what he was thinking.

”Why did you agree to fight me?” Yunji suddenly changed the topic.

”It's the prince …” ”The Prince ordered me to fight with you, and the Prince said that since Miss Yunji wants to fight, I should do as you say.” Tang Ao's answer was as honest as ever.

This answer surprised Yun Ji. She hadn't expected this Murong Xiu to be so interesting.

”You don't want to fight with me?” Yunji cautiously asked.

”Tang Ao doesn't want to be like this with Miss …” ”Tang Ao still hopes that this young lady can fulfill the terms of the bet from back then …” Tang Ao boldly voiced his thoughts.

”What bet?” It was Yunji's turn to act dumb.

”This Eight Trigrams Mirror is the keepsake that the young lady gave Tang Ao back then. The young lady said that as long as we meet in the future, as long as Tang Ao takes out this Eight Trigrams Mirror, if the young lady doesn't marry, then if Tang Ao doesn't …” Tang Ao earnestly looked into Yunji's eyes.

”It's just that Tang Ao destroyed that girl's Eight Trigrams Mirror. Tang Ao feels guilty …” Tang Ao spoke very sincerely.

Yun Ji finally puffed up and said faintly, ”Yun Ji may not be married, but Yun Ji is no longer a virgin.”

”I don't mind!” Tang Ao couldn't wait and immediately grabbed Yunji by the shoulder. ”With Tang Ao's God of Disability, if he could get his lady's love, then Tang Ao would already be very satisfied!”

Yun Ji couldn't help but look at Tang Ao's name before snuggling into his embrace. The two of them tightly embraced each other. This pair of lovers was finally together.

Ever since Feng Lingxue and Zi Yuan parted ways at the Hibiscus mountain, she had been busy with her personal matters.
