Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

The winter night was bitterly cold, and white snowflakes fell from the sky, soaking the ground.

Xiang Yunchi picked up a "pear blossom" on Ruan Chuyin's head and said worriedly, "Chuyin, it's too cold. Let's go back."

"I want to watch it a little longer."

The flying snow in the sky looked like silver fragments in the moonlight, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

It rarely snowed in Shanghai before, but every time it was covered in snow, she would never miss the rare opportunity to build a snowman.

Two chocolate chips, a carrot, and a sun hat can make the most beautiful snowman.

He blew two breaths of hot air into his palms, scooped up two handfuls of snow from the pine and cypress trees, slowly rolled them into a small ball, and threw it towards the bushes with all his strength.

The rustling sound was particularly clear in the silent forest, but the crackling sound of dead branches mixed in it aroused Xiang Yunchi's vigilance.

"Who's there?" He quickly pulled Ruan Chuyin back and retreated three feet, with the dagger in his sleeve already unsheathed.

A tall figure slowly walked out from behind a pine or cypress tree.

Under the moonlight, the face of the exiled immortal in white robe and gray hair slowly revealed itself.

Ruan Chuyin's heart sank, and she secretly regretted not checking the almanac before going out.

The world is so big, how come we can meet each other everywhere?

Xiang Yunchi studied the handsome man before him, a man no less handsome than himself, his mind wandering for a moment. When he caught sight of the two dogwood fruits hanging from his waist, his gaze narrowed sharply, and he asked uncertainly, "Are you Ji Zhiya, the Fufeng Sword Immortal?"

Ruan Chuyin suddenly raised her head, which had been lowered.

Is he that powerful? He looks about the same age as Yun Chi, and is already a Sword Immortal?

Ji Zhiya looked at the girl with eyes full of surprise, as if a breeze was blowing through his heart, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose a little.

"Exactly."

"Girl, what a coincidence! We meet again." He turned to greet Ruan Chuyin and wanted to ask her why she ran away when she saw him at Lianghe Ferry last time?

But what puzzled him even more was the girl's subsequent attitude.

"Sir, you've got the wrong person. We've never met before."

Yun Chi is right! It's freezing cold, why bother looking at the snow?

"Hatsune, you and..."

Before Yun Chi could finish his question, Ruan Chuyin interrupted him and huddled in his arms: "Yun Chi, I'm so cold, let's go back."

"...Okay. Ji Jianxian, let's say goodbye now." Xiang Yunchi suppressed the doubts in his heart and took Ruan Chuyin back to the inn.

His elder brother, Wei Shizhang, the head of Qingfeng Pavilion, and his second brother, Yue Yixing, the head of Lingxiao Monastery, would also be attending the martial arts conference. If his opponent was Ji Zhiya, it would be difficult for him to win the championship.

I originally thought that as long as Qi Ruyi didn't make a move, there was still a chance of winning. But now it seems...

"Yun Chi, what are you thinking about?" Ruan Chuyin saw him holding her and flying in the air for half a cup of tea without saying a word, and her mind began to wander.

"Nothing, I just didn't expect Ji Zhiya to come to the martial arts conference." Xiang Yunchi's attention was temporarily focused on the sword immortal, ignoring the details that he should have noticed.

"How old is he?" Ruan Chuyin asked curiously.

"Twenty-eight. What? Are you interested in him? What about when he said he knew you before?" Xiang Yunchi suddenly realized the question he had just raised and hugged the person in his arms tighter.

"I made a mistake. I was just curious that he had become a sword immortal at such a young age." Ruan Chuyin lowered her lips guiltily and said no more.

Xiang Yunchi glanced sideways, not giving her any face at all: "Hatsune, no man would mistake you. Do you understand?"

. . . . . .

Fine. If that's the case, then I can only play dead. She won't admit it anyway. Otherwise, more questions will be thrown out endlessly.

In the dense forest, Ji Zhiya still stood there, staring at the direction where the beauty left, deep in thought.

If he was being sensitive once, then he definitely wasn't being sensitive twice. This girl was avoiding him.

She must have been treated inhumanely that day, which is why she came to the pharmacy to buy medicine in such a miserable state.

They met three times, and each time left a deep impression on Ji Zhiya.

Sakyamuni said: Only with a very deep fate can one walk on the same road again and again, go to the same place again and again, and meet the same person again and again.

If so, I believe they will meet again soon.

One day before the martial arts conference, Qin Guanzhi and his companions arrived at Beiyueluohe Town. Jiang Wenzhou, having an appointment with Lu Yaozhang, left first and headed directly to Wuliang Peak.

This town is only fifty miles away from Licheng. Due to the benefits of the capital, its prosperity is no less than that of the capital.

Wuliang Peak sits at the northernmost edge of Luohe Town. The streets are bustling with people, several times more crowded than usual, and room rates are skyrocketing, jumping every half day.

Xiang Yunchi looked at the dilapidated Tongfu Inn in front of him and stopped.

"Are we sure we want to stay here today?" He felt that Ruan Chuyin would definitely not like it.

"Mr. Xiang, I've asked around, and this is the only place with vacancies," Yu Yu said, scratching his head. He also thought it was rather shabby, and the price was not cheap. If there wasn't a place nearby, he wouldn't have chosen it.

Qi Ruyi didn't think it was a big deal. When he was young, he practiced swordsmanship in the mountains, and the conditions were much harsher than here. But now, bringing his disciple's wife with him seemed a bit inappropriate. He then said, "Look, this place isn't far from Licheng. We could go there and take a look. Or we could just stay at the foot of Wuliang Peak."

Of his master's two suggestions, Qin Guanzhi preferred the former. The foot of Wuliang Peak was now home to not only numerous large sects and schools, but also countless smaller schools and sects, both good and bad. He didn't want to bring Ruan Chuyin to live there.

"Well, let's just stay at my villa," Xiang Yunchi said helplessly. He hadn't wanted to reveal his identity, as the villa was connected to a branch altar of the Underworld Palace. It looked like it would have to be rebuilt.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Qin Guanzhi was furious. Ah Yu had been going around in circles for so long, and this guy had finally spoken. This must have been intentional.

"My house is at the southernmost end of town, and it takes at least half an hour to get there. Who knew the place you found was so shabby!" Xiang Yunchi said unconvinced. If it weren't for Qin Guanzhi, he would have taken Hatsune there long ago.

"Alright, alright, let's stay at Yun Chi's villa today. It's only half an hour away." Ruan Chuyin immediately booked a place to stay when she heard there was a good place to stay. What could be more relaxing than a nice hot bath and a good night's sleep?

When traveling, she could eat and drink less, but she absolutely couldn't afford to stay in a bad place. At the Tongfu Inn, even before entering, she could smell an indescribable odor. She would rather spend the night in the mountains than stay there.

Since their daughter-in-law had already made up her mind, Qin Guanzhi and Xiang Yunchi stopped arguing and, after a little tidying up, headed to Xiangyang Villa.
