This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

Su Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.

One second he was thinking about Ji Ruqing and Ye Xuan, and the next second he suddenly appeared.

This is... way too sudden!

"Yes, people from the Imperial Palace have also appeared in Mu City."

Xuan Siyin looked at Su Yu with a hint of doubt.

"Junior Sister, why do you seem so lost? Do you know Ji Ruqing?"

"What does he look like? Is he handsome?"

A forced smile flashed across Su Yu's face. "How could I possibly know him, Senior Sister...?"

Xuan Siyin didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but instead gave instructions:

"Junior Sister, in tomorrow's competition, I hope you will just do your best. Don't carry the burden of sect honor on your shoulders. If anyone should carry it, it should be Ye Xuan."

"He may seem unconventional, but he is also the kind of person who is not afraid of difficulties and has his own beliefs and can take on important responsibilities."

"He will protect you; you just need to stay behind him."

Xuan Siyin didn't want to put too much pressure on her junior sister, who was a delicate woman.

Su Yu nodded with a light laugh. Perhaps Ye Xuan was a bit of a freak, but he was a true coward and would really fight if something happened.

Seeing Su Yu's smiling face, Xuan Siyin assumed that she was overjoyed and proud because of Ye Xuan, her Daoist partner, so she felt relieved.

After all, they are Daoist partners, so Ye Xuan will definitely take meticulous care of Su Yu.

If Su Yu knew that Xuan Siyin believed from the beginning that he and Ye Xuan were Daoist partners and had shared a bed, I wonder what she would think.

The two chatted briefly before Xuan Siyin left.

Not long after, Su Yu's spatial ring suddenly began to vibrate.

A sweep of divine sense revealed that it was Ji Ruqing's keepsake that was trembling!

Feeling the information transmitted by the jade pendant, Su Yu felt a mix of emotions.

Does Ji Ruqing want to see me?

"........"

Su Yu took out a jade pendant from her spatial ring.

This was given to me by Ji Ruqing back in Lingcheng; it allows for communication within a certain range.

On the jade pendant, cyan spiritual energy flowed continuously, converging into several words.

Qingyi, how have you been lately?

Can we meet at midnight tonight?

"..."

Should we meet?

Su Yu touched her cheek, pondering whether she should go see Ji Ruqing.

Under normal circumstances, one would probably go to appease the other party.

However, if he sneaks off to the appointment at night and Ye Xuan and the others find out, the implications are self-evident.

The white-clad fairy secretly went to meet a man at night, which means the two must have been having an affair...

Upon thinking of this, Su Yu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, chilling her to the bone, and immediately shook her head in rejection.

"Forget it, let's not go. It would be terrible if we got caught."

Even if they had to meet and fight each other in person, it would be better than me and Ji Ruqing being caught having a secret date.

This feels like cheating.

Having made up her mind, Su Yu began to circulate her spiritual energy to write and paint.

However, the moment he raised his hand...

The cyan font began to change again.

"Qingyi, I've come to find you."

"wait for me."

hiss---

What are you looking for? I haven't figured out a solution yet!

Su Yu hurriedly transmitted the information.

"Ruqing, it's late, don't disturb the sect's rest."

We will meet tomorrow, so don't worry.

After a moment of silence, the cyan text reappeared.

"But I miss you so much."

I want to see you.

Su Yu curled her lip; this guy was a bit greasy.

They're the type who can't say anything sweet, they just know how to express themselves directly.

"Ruqing, you are the number one genius in the Eastern Xuan Region. You should not be bound by emotions."

"You are my fiancée, this is not a constraint."

"......"

"Qingyi, let's meet. I won't do anything out of line, and we can also discuss the competition."

Su Yu was speechless. For someone like Ji Ruqing to repeatedly ask to meet, it must have taken a lot of courage.

After a few seconds of pause, clear white text was transmitted to the other side.

"it is good."

The other party replied immediately.

"Meet me at Xiangting Lake at midnight tonight."

Su Yu tossed the jade pendant into her spatial ring and sighed softly.

"Let's meet once if we can."

Ji Ruqing's invitation was so sincere that I decided to go.

Anyway, Ye Xuan's room is quite far from mine, so he probably won't come looking for me in the middle of the night.

So he disguised himself and used a stealth talisman to leave the merchant guild silently...

Haifeng Mountain Range.

The backyard.

After obtaining Su Yu's consent, Ji Ruqing's bright eyes revealed a hint of joy that was easily noticed.

"Great, Qingyi agreed."

He immediately went out to the back courtyard.

As they reached the gate, they happened to run towards Zhong Yuhan, who was lightly running towards them, lifting the hem of her dress.

When she saw Ji Ruqing's hurried appearance, she was taken aback.

This was the first time she had ever seen Ruqing show such emotions.

Curious, she asked, "Ruqing, I was just about to look for you. Where are you going so late at night?"

Ji Ruqing glanced at her calmly. "Go see my fiancée."

Zhong Yuhan's pupils contracted sharply, her pretty face turned pale, and she involuntarily took a few steps back in a panic.

"You... what did you say? Fiancée??"

"You have a fiancée?!"

Ji Ruqing nodded slightly. "That's right, I'm already engaged."

"But I've never heard of you having a fiancée before!"

Ji Ruqing said, "I only found out about this when I went home recently. This marriage was arranged when we were young."

"So Yuhan, I understand what you're thinking, but there's absolutely no way it's possible between us."

"Just take care of yourself."

Having said that, he transformed into a streak of azure sword light and soared into the sky, quickly disappearing into the dark horizon.

Zhong Yuhan stood there, stunned, her beautiful eyes welling up with tears.

"So, the night you asked me about change, it was...it was all because of your fiancée??"

Ask her for advice on how to care for another woman?

I've liked Ru Qing for so long, but I never expected that he already has a fiancée?

The key point is that he seems to really like her...

Although Zhong Yuhan had no intention of comparing herself to others, she felt that she was no worse than other women.

She was granted the title of princess in her early twenties and was also the most beautiful woman in the imperial palace.

Why, why doesn't Ji Ruqing even glance at her? Yet he's so attentive to his fiancée?

Zhong Yuhan remained silent for a long time, and finally left, looking dejected....

It didn't take long.

After asking around, Su Yu finally arrived at Xiangting Lake.

At this moment, Ji Ruqing seemed to have arrived long ago.

He was still dressed in a white robe, his body as straight as a sharp sword, his face as handsome as jade, and his demeanor imposing.

Su Yu had to admit that, as of now, Ji Ruqing was the most handsome man he had ever seen.

"Qingyi, you've arrived?"
