clank--

Just as Li Xingyun's thoughts drifted, a melodious and slightly lonely piano sound suddenly reached his ears. This sudden music was like a soft feather, gently brushing against his heartstrings, making him involuntarily cast his eyes in the direction of the sound.

There were many people in the Qin Palace who were proficient in music and skilled in playing the qin. For a moment, Li Xingyun had difficulty guessing who was playing the piece. So, he could only follow the faint sound of the qin, slowly taking steps towards the source of the sound.

After passing through winding corridors and skirting several rockery hills, Li Xingyun finally arrived at a quiet courtyard. The gate was slightly ajar, and within, raindrops swirl like mist. Inside, by the window, Liu Wumei sat quietly, the door wide open, letting the cool breeze flow in with the wind and rain.

Her beautiful eyes gazed at the pattering rain in the courtyard, while her hands gently plucked the strings of her zither, transforming the various thoughts deep in her heart into a series of lively notes that flowed out slowly. These days, Liu Wumei's worldview has suffered an unprecedented huge impact.

Lei Lin had vividly recounted Li Xingyun's unknown past and every event he'd experienced. Those stories unfolded in Liu Wumei's mind like vivid paintings, giving her a whole new understanding and feeling for this seemingly familiar yet unfamiliar man.

He easily controlled the four great families of Southern Xinjiang, successfully subjugated the powerful Long family, and even dared to embark on a campaign to conquer Wanshou Mountain! Not to mention engaging in thrilling battles of wits with the powerful in the imperial palace... When these stories reached her ears, they were like brilliant rays of light illuminating her previously dull world, leaving her fascinated and unable to control herself!

You see, she'd been unable to practice martial arts since childhood due to physical limitations, and she'd rarely even left her home. She'd only ever imagined the dazzling, endlessly exciting world of Jianghu through the stories of others and her own imagination. But now, the name Li Xingyun seemed like a magical key, unlocking the long-closed door deep within her heart, revealing a completely different world.

However, whenever she indulged in her fantasies about Li Xingyun, Ruyan's gentle and charming face would always appear in her mind. Yes, Li Xingyun was Ruyan's husband! Thinking of this, her heart felt like it was hit hard by a heavy hammer, and a stabbing pain instantly spread throughout her body.

Even though Lei Lin had been instilling in her words about how two sisters could be inseparable if they shared the same husband, and she had secretly envisioned such a scenario countless times, she was ultimately unable to break through the bottom line of her own moral ethics and never dared to take that crucial step.

This huge psychological contradiction tormented her constantly, making her increasingly depressed. In the dead of night, she lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. In desperation, she had to get up and go to the window, gently plucking the strings of the zither, trying to use the melodious sound to dispel the boredom and sorrow in her heart.

"Oh... forget it, I don't want to think too much. If Li Xingyun really appears in front of me tonight, then I won't care about anything else. Even if I have to use all my tricks to seduce him, I will try my best to marry him; but if he never shows up, then I will go home peacefully and never have such unrealistic thoughts again!" As the last note fell, she slowly closed her eyes and silently prayed for the favor of the God of Destiny in the quiet night.

Liu Wumei said this with a cold expression, her words revealing an extremely harsh tone, but deep down in her heart she had already prepared to go home and never marry!

You have to know that it is already late at night. How could Li Xingyun appear in this place for no reason? Thinking of this, Liu Wumei couldn't help but shake his head slightly, feeling that the possibility of success was very slim.

With a light pluck of his fingers, a burst of clear and pleasant piano music suddenly rang out, the sound of clanging, as melodious as flowing water in the mountains. Li Xingyun was inspired by this sound, and soon he followed the sound all the way to a quiet courtyard.

"Huh? Is this Liu Wumei's residence?" Li Xingyun was slightly startled, secretly surprised. He really didn't expect that he would walk to this place so unintentionally.

Although he was a little surprised, Li Xingyun did not hesitate. He took big strides without hesitation and walked straight into the yard.

Of course, Li Xingyun had never forgotten the words Liu Ruyan had instructed him. This time, he simply wanted to listen to his sister-in-law's moving music and share a beautiful scene of harmonious harmony with her. Furthermore, he had a clear conscience and no evil intentions, so what was wrong with his actions?

Li Xingyun was dressed in a gorgeous outfit as white as snow, holding an exquisite oil-paper umbrella. Against the backdrop of the pouring rain, he looked like an otherworldly immortal, his aura so ethereal that it was a dazzling sight.

At this moment, Liu Wumei was completely unaware of Li Xingyun's arrival. She was still immersed in the musical world she created, and was oblivious to everything in the outside world.

"Sister, are you worried about something?" With these gentle words, Li Xingyun had already walked in front of Liu Wumei. He leaned forward slightly, gazing at the beauty in front of him with concern, and there was a subtle hint of concern in his tone.

"Hmm?" Liu Wumei, lost in thought, was suddenly interrupted by the question. Like a startled deer, she instantly looked up. Li Xingyun's tall figure, bathed in the watery moonlight, seemed draped in a layer of silver gauze, appearing exceptionally bright and dazzling. Instantly, Liu Wumei felt as if the entire world was illuminated by his radiance.

"You... I'm not dreaming, am I?" Liu Wumei's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Li Xingyun, who was so close to her. She couldn't believe it. Just as she had spoken those words from her heart, Li Xingyun had actually appeared before her like a dream. Was this all just a beautiful dream?

"Dreaming?" Li Xingyun was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Liu Wumei was thinking. A brilliant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, like a flower blooming in spring, warm and charming.

"Why, sister, you only dare to see me in dreams? If so, sister, just treat this as a beautiful dream!" Li Xingyun said, blinking gently, his eyes full of teasing.
