You're the one who wants to marry a mistress, and I'm marrying someone else, yet you still

Since the incident involving the Shen family, Shen Yanzhi has stopped going to the academy.

Only after the divorce was settled did he, under his father's arrangement, buy another page so he could continue studying at the academy.

The morning wind carried a biting chill, and Shen Yanzhi wanted to get into the carriage to escape it, but then she saw Shen Mo, with an elegant demeanor, being escorted by others to walk towards an exquisite carriage.

Shen Mo's pageboy, Xiao Zhuang, followed behind. He had once been Shen Yanzhi's pageboy and also followed behind Shen Mo.

Because Xie Wanru was divorced and didn't want Shen Yanzhi to take advantage of her anymore, Shen Cong'an called all these people away. Originally, their indentures were also in Xie Wanru's hands, and how to deal with them was up to Xie Wanru.

Bringing it back to the Xie residence would be unpleasant, so he went along with Shen Cong'an's wishes and gave it to Shen Mo.

Shen Yanzhi's carriage was right behind the horse-drawn carriage, and it looked particularly dilapidated.

"He's just a bastard, not a member of the Marquis's family at all. I don't know why you people are praising him like this!"

Shen Yanzhi looked at Shen Mo with resentment.

Otherwise, Shen Mo would have been lucky enough to be adopted by Shen Cong'an, who was unconscious at the time, and Shen Yanzhi would now be the only young master of the Shen family.

Shen Mo heard Shen Yanzhi's words, but he pretended not to hear anything and got into the carriage.

Shen Mo's indifferent attitude was like a heavy slap in the face to Shen Yanzhi, making his anger, born of jealousy, even more intense, yet he was helpless.

The silent carriage slowly started moving, leaving behind a string of clear bell sounds, which sounded particularly pleasant in the cold morning wind, and also reflected Shen Yanzhi's loneliness and unwillingness at this moment.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms, his eyes following the departing carriage until it disappeared around the street corner.

"Shen Mo, you won't enjoy this for long. None of these things belong to you. Everything in the Marquis's mansion belongs to me, Shen Yanzhi."

Shen Yanzhi knew that although he was still a member of the Marquis's family, his status in the mansion was not as good as before after losing Xie Wanru, who was a powerful backer.

"I absolutely cannot admit defeat!" Shen Yanzhi vowed silently in his heart, his eyes flashing with determination.

General's Mansion.

Xie Wanru finally felt relieved.

Now that the divorce is successful, she has no further connection with the Shen family father and son. She can leave many things to Shen Cong'an to handle. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne smoothly, the Xie family will no longer be framed like in their previous life.

After helping her carry people at the Shen residence that day, Xu Jing set off back to Mount Xuwu.

When he saw Xie Wanru again, he felt as if it had been a long time, even though they had only been separated for a little over half a month.

"Sister."

Xu Jing bowed respectfully to Xie Wanru, something he had never done before. He used to call her "senior sister" as well, but that was mostly out of deference to Xie Wanru's "tyranny" rather than out of genuine affection.

"Why are you acting like this? Do you pity me?"

Xie Wanru chuckled and reached out to tap Xu Jing on the forehead.

Missing her master and fellow disciples, she got up early in the morning and had Dongzhu pack her things, then hurried to Mount Xuwu.

"Your senior sister got divorced, which is a good thing to celebrate. Why are you looking so sad? You know what kind of person Shen Nian'an is. Do you want me to be trapped in the Marquis's mansion for the rest of my life? To be the wife of that kind of man forever?"

Xu Jing touched his forehead where he had been tapped. It didn't actually hurt; his senior sister hadn't hit him hard. He chuckled and said, "Senior sister, I was just worried you'd be upset. Now that you're divorced, that's a good thing. We should celebrate! Master and the other senior brothers will definitely be happy to know you're back."

Xie Wanru came back to visit on a whim, so she did not notify anyone beforehand.

As he spoke, Xu Jing pulled Xie Wanru up the mountain, saying as they walked, "Senior sister, you don't know, Master always talks about you. He says that you are the disciple who causes him the most worry, yet he also misses you the most. He thought he could rest easy after you got married, but he didn't expect you to still be so troublesome."

Xie Wanru felt a warm current surge in her heart as she listened to Xu Jing's words.

She really missed her master and fellow disciples, and missed those days on Mount Xuwu.

Now that the divorce is successful, she can finally return to the place that makes her feel warm and at ease.

Upon entering the mountain gate, Xie Wanru was greeted by her long-lost master and fellow disciples.

Master Xufeng was already an old man of only sixty years old, but when he saw his little disciple, his expression immediately changed, and he became radiant.

"Master!"

Xie Wanru performed a full kneeling ceremony, and Dongzhu followed suit.

"You still recognize me as your master? Looks like you're not blind after all."

Master Xufeng snorted coldly and led everyone into the house.

He verbally disliked Xie Wanru, but when he heard his disciples say that Xie Wanru had returned, he immediately called everyone over and had them wait for her outside the hall.

Xie Wanru knew that her master was subtly mocking her for marrying Shen Nian'an and ridiculing her for being blind, but she also knew that her master said this out of concern for her.

"Junior Sister, don't be sad. Master is angry that you didn't contact us even though you were wronged. If Xu Jing hadn't come back from down the mountain, we wouldn't have known that you had suffered such a grievance."

Senior Brother Xu Ning patted Xie Wanru's shoulder to comfort her, his eyes filled with heartache and indignation. Although they were martial arts practitioners and should not interfere in the affairs of aristocratic families, this matter concerned his junior sister. If they had been notified earlier, they would have gone down the mountain to seek justice for her.

"Yes, Junior Sister, it's good that you're back. We'll take care of you from now on and won't let you suffer any more grievances." Second Senior Brother Xu Yun echoed, his tone firm and warm.

The disciples of Mount Xuwu number in the hundreds, each possessing exceptional martial arts skills and hailing from all corners of the country. Some of them also have rather mysterious backgrounds.

Xie Wanru's eyes were slightly red, and she tried her best to hold back her tears, her heart filled with emotion.

She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound steady: "Thank you, Master, thank you, fellow disciples. I'm sorry to have worried you. I'd like to stay a few more days this time."

Upon hearing this, Master Xufeng's lips curled up slightly, but he still pretended to be serious and said, "Hmph, if you want to come back, then come back. Don't make it seem like we're begging you. However, since you're back, you have to abide by the rules of Void Mountain and don't cause me any trouble."

"Yes, Master, I understand," Xie Wanru replied respectfully, her heart filled with joy.

When Master Xufeng turned his back, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"It's been many years since I last saw Dongzhu, and she's grown up quite a bit."

Second Senior Brother Xuyun walked a little slower.

Dongzhu, who was standing next to Xie Wanru, shyly moved away a little.

A group of people walked in noisily, as if Xie Wanru had never left.
