After much effort, I finally solved it.

Jiang Yueyue rubbed her eyes, and when she looked up again, the person was gone. She pouted and turned to go into the house.

Surprisingly, Jiang Yue was still awake. She asked with concern if she had encountered any danger coming back so late. Jiang Yue smiled and comforted her with a few words.

Dangerous? It's safe.

Even if Ning Xulin hadn't appeared, nothing would have happened to her; she would have come simply by crushing the token her mother had given her.

This is also why she decided to follow Yue Du; she could still escape unscathed without using her spatial abilities.

There is a difference between a family and a rogue cultivator. The reason why rogue cultivators are unsafe is that they have no backing and no means to protect themselves. Now, as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she naturally does not have this problem.

Many geniuses perish along the way, but this is rare in families.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Jiang Yueyue couldn't wait to check his cultivation level.

It's increased a bit more than before, so it seems even clones can benefit from the genius cultivator's buff...

Jiang Yueyue pondered for a moment and decided to practice her clone technique diligently.

With a ding-dong, Lingjian's message came into view.

Sister, get some rest.

Thinking of the boy's delicate and handsome face, Jiang Yueyue chuckled softly.

【Good night】

After saying that, she entered the space, where she was going to cultivate her second clone.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Yueyue opened her eyes.

Two identical clones stood before her. She infused each one with her divine sense and then commanded them to cultivate.

The three clones sat obediently on the futons, cultivating in a row.

As the spiritual energy steadily increased, Jiang Yueyue left the space with satisfaction, feeling that the spiritual energy she had created by spending spirit stones had not been in vain.

Only half a month had passed outside at this time.

After having dinner with Jiang Yue, she seemed hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong, Mother?" Jiang Yueyue took her hand and asked obediently.

"Yue'er..."

After Jiang Yue's explanation, she understood.

It turns out I was nominally engaged, which was fine before I returned, but now that I've returned, they're proposing to see me...

"...If you don't like it when you see it, Mother will grant your wish." Jiang Yue gently ruffled the girl's hair and said softly.

But this meeting is necessary, both emotionally and logically.

Jiang Yueyue naturally understood this principle as well. There were many interests involved in the family, and as the next generation heir, she was aware of these.

"My dear mommy, I love you the most!"

It was just a one-time meeting.

If someone doesn't want to get married, how can you force them into marriage?

Jiang Yueyue suddenly remembered the last time she felt sorry for Jiang Yu when she heard about her engagement.

So she has it too...

Seeing that the girl did not resist, Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt heartache for her daughter's understanding nature.

The next day.

Jiang Yueyue originally wanted to meet him in a hurry, but Jiang Yue dragged her to get dressed up for a while, saying that a woman dresses up for the man she loves.

She didn't refuse, but she didn't quite believe the explanation.

Jiang Yue seemed confident about the meeting, nodding and shaking her head with a slight smile from time to time.

Jiang Yueyue seemed thoughtful, and a hint of anticipation also appeared.

Marriage arrangements in the cultivation world must be different from those arranged marriages in my previous life with those undesirable men and women, right?

Anyway, I haven't encountered an ugly one yet... it's not a bad idea to give it a try.

……

Thus, this encounter was born, arranged by both parties.

Ning Xulin sat in Luoyun Pavilion, his face showing a hint of impatience.

He was unwilling to be forced to see his nominal fiancée, but thinking that he should at least see her once the engagement was dissolved, he relaxed.

...If the other party doesn't like him, then the old man won't coerce him.

Ning Xulin was already thinking about the feasibility of discussing annulment with his fiancée. Since it was arranged by her, she should be as unwilling as he was, right?

Ning Xulin never considered marriage; he was focused on the Palace of No Worries and... ascending to immortality as soon as possible.

Feelings? The most useless thing.

The man, who resembled a god, remained calm, his slender fingers lightly tapping the table. As time passed, his pale golden eyes grew increasingly cold.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a light footstep entered.

Ning Xulin didn't even lift his eyelids.

Until... a soft, slightly stuttering voice rang out.

"Yes, it's you?"

very familiar.

Ning Xulin slowly raised his eyes, only to meet a delicate, astonished face.

A hint of surprise flashed in the girl's bright eyes, which then blushed and turned into unease.

"Ah."

Jiang Yueyue took her seat and went to sit in front of the young man.

Upon seeing it, she realized why her mother had made her dress up; it was truly something else…

He was far more stunning than that first meeting, and the last time.

Gray hair is a major concern for most people, but men don't have this problem.

The face before me was so perfect it was almost flawless. His jade-like features were like those of a god, and his white robes made him appear even more divine.

Her pale golden eyes were noble and arrogant, as if she didn't care about anything.

The girl glanced at him once and then looked away, seemingly even slowing her breathing, her fair, pinkish fingertips unconsciously intertwining.

Is he scary?

Little did he know that Jiang Yueyue was just fantasizing about him...

Ning Xulin's gaze fell on her flushed cheeks, and he paused for a second, "You..."

"Thanks……"

The two said almost in unison.

After the words were spoken, silence fell, and the atmosphere became awkward.

Ning Xulin saw,

The girl glanced at him again, thinking she had concealed herself, then smiled and said in a very soft voice, "...Thank you for saving me last time."

If it weren't for his high level of cultivation, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear it clearly.

Ning Xulin remained silent.

Saving her was at his friend's request; he wouldn't have bothered with it if it were anyone else.

Ning Xulin was thinking about how to bring it up without hurting the feelings of either family, and then... achieve his goal.

He had never dealt with women before, and for a moment he was a little troubled.

Fortunately, the girl was also quiet, which gave him some breathing room.

Perhaps because they had met once before, Ning Xulin decided to get straight to the point: "What do you think of me?"

His original intention was to hear the girl's thoughts and then take the opportunity to suggest breaking off the engagement, but unexpectedly...

Jiang Yueyue's eyes lit up, "...Brother is very good!"

Ning Xulin: "..."

"real!"

Ning Xulin wasn't interested in that, so he spoke again: "You were also arranged to come here this time, weren't you?"

"Ok!"

The answer was as expected, and Ning Xulin's slightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.

He then asked, "Miss Jiang probably doesn't want to fulfill a marriage contract with someone she's only met once, does she?"

I really don't want to, but... it's not like I can't just play around with it.

After hearing Ning Xulin's two sentences, Jiang Yueyue understood his meaning: he didn't want to be arranged by his family.

"Ok!"

Ning Xulin had just calmed down when she heard her speak again.

The girl blinked, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. Her bright eyes stared intently at him, and her voice, though soft, carried a hint of seriousness: "But we've met before."

"...This is the third time I've seen you."
