The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

Shen Qingge was still standing at the door. Jiang Xianyue couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she thought about what had just happened.

"Qingge, are you settling in well at Wanggu Mountain?"

When Shen Qingge heard Jiang Xianyue call her, she quickly replied, "I'm quite used to it. Although there aren't as many servants around as before, and I don't have to do everything myself, it's quiet here, there are no rules, and the food, clothing, and daily necessities are no worse than in the palace. What could I possibly be dissatisfied with in this kind of life?"

Shen Qingge was overjoyed.

"Everyone says the royal family is wealthy, but this is the first time I've stayed in such a nice place outside. I thought the Taoist temple on this mountain would be very poor. I was thinking that since Master Xu helped us, I must repay him properly when we get back. Now I'm afraid I can't give away what I brought."

Shen Qingge was a little annoyed, but what she said was also from the bottom of her heart.

"Although Wanggushan is just an ordinary Taoist temple, it goes down the mountain to catch ghosts and help the people. Many of those who have committed sins are from merchant families, so the silver must be provided."

However, people generally believe that Taoist temples should be austere and poor. My master was afraid that it would be too conspicuous, so even if he wanted to renovate it properly, he could only do so in the backyard.

My master doesn't advocate asceticism; he says that even in our spiritual practice, we should eat well and dress well. I don't know what's best outside, but I'll do my best. If I have money, why wouldn't I spend it? Am I supposed to keep it for myself?

Jiang Xianyue's tone was calm, without a hint of boasting.

"Your master is a reclusive master."

Shen Shijing couldn't help but speak up, while also showing some curiosity about Wang Gushan.

Shen Qingge only came to ask when she was leaving. She was so happy here that she didn't want to leave. However, she thought it was inconvenient for Jiang Xianyue to stay for long, so she came to find out.

"Miss Jiang!"

Shen Shijing turned his head and asked Jiang Xianyue.

Jiang Xianyue nodded to Shen Shijing.

"I have no objection to leaving in a couple of days. I have already asked all the questions I needed to. Since His Highness the Crown Prince and I will be working together in the future, I will definitely go back with you."

Is this considered a harmonious marriage?

Shen Qingge looked at the two of them and liked them more and more.

"After I return, I will prepare for my marriage with Miss Jiang."

Shen Qingge's eyes lit up when she heard that.

"So, does that mean I have to call you sister-in-law from now on?"

The perfectly good collaboration was made too ambiguous by Shen Shijing, especially under Shen Qingge's expectant gaze. Jiang Xianyue lowered her eyes and did not offer any further explanation.

Perhaps they were also considering Shen Shijing's feelings.

Besides, that was exactly what she had been thinking all along. Marrying Shen Shijing would repay a debt of gratitude, so what more could she possibly want?

"It's not too late to change your address after you're married."

At this moment, Shen Qingge was happy and left alone.

After Shen Qingge left, Shen Shijing's gaze turned serious, and the atmosphere around him became extremely heavy.

“Miss Jiang, what did you do today? Why are you in such a sorry state? Your master and fellow disciples are here on Wanggu Mountain. Even if there is any danger, you, who has no spiritual power, don’t need to lift a finger.”

Jiang Xianyue looked extremely exhausted just now.

Shen Shijing had been keeping pace with her for some time and had long since figured out her situation.

She only becomes like this when she's overexerted, so...

Shen Shijing grabbed her wrist, wanting to hear the truth.

"It's just taming a disobedient fellow, nothing serious. Your Highness will know when you get back."

Jiang Xianyue smiled innocently.

"I'm leaving soon. When I have time, I'll chat with my master and learn a few more moves so I can put them to good use when I get back."

……

Shen Shijing had his own matters to attend to and lived on Wanggu Mountain, so he didn't have much contact with Jiang Xianyue.

After Jiang Xianyue returned, she had a lot of free time every day.

They followed their master in seclusion, practiced swordsmanship with their fellow disciples, and sometimes even discussed how to improve their magic.

It's clear that everyone on Wanggu Mountain likes Jiang Xianyue, especially Xu Qingfeng, who insists on pestering her every day, making Shen Shijing very unhappy. Occasionally, when they meet, they subtly separate the two of them, and Xu Qingfeng looks at Shen Shijing as if he were an enemy.

Xu Qingfeng didn't arrive at Shen Shijing's residence until the day he left.

"What brings Master Xu here?"

Xu Qingfeng disliked dealing with Shen Shijing because the etiquette involved in meeting the Crown Prince was cumbersome. Although Shen Shijing had said there was no need to be so formal, on Wanggu Mountain, he was the eldest brother and set an example for others, doing things meticulously and not daring to overstep his bounds.

He couldn't hold back any longer.

Xu Qingfeng practically burst in, but Shen Shijing remained calm, realizing that Xu Qingfeng was holding back something.

"Junior Sister said she wants to marry you after returning to the capital."

"Ok!"

Shen Shijing nodded calmly.

"Junior Sister always said that she went down the mountain to settle some kind of love tribulation, but she doesn't have any such karma on her body. What method did His Highness the Crown Prince use to make Junior Sister feel... that she has a love affair with you?"

Even after all my years of cultivation, I've never heard of such a technique that could blind her to the truth and make her so persistent.

Also, how did your junior sister's spiritual power end up in your body? You guys...

Once Xu Qingfeng started speaking, he couldn't hold back any longer, and the questions came out like a machine gun.

However, Shen Shijing took a small sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then the corners of his mouth turned up.

"Miss Jiang and I are truly destined to be together, which is why our marriage has come to this."

If Master Xu is here to offer his congratulations, then I will accept your offer. If you wish to come down the mountain to have a drink at the wedding, that would also be fine.

"My affairs are none of your business."

Shen Shijing was somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Qingfeng's overstepping of boundaries, and his calm demeanor was a sign of suppressed anger, as he did not want his anger to hurt anyone.

Especially when Xu Qingfeng questioned his fate with Jiang Xianyue.

This fate was something he risked his life for.

Even if Jiang Xianyue were to marry him, it wouldn't be excessive.

Besides, he didn't initially have that intention; it was Jiang Xian Yue who spoke first, and he only reluctantly agreed...

Xu Qingfeng was stunned.

I never expected Shen Shijing to have such a violent side.

He was always gentle and polite in front of Jiang Xianyue.

Xu Qingfeng clenched his fists tightly, but couldn't bring himself to say anything that would offend Shen Shijing.

Some things are not justified or justified.

“Miss Jiang respects the Taoist priest. Those who cultivate the Tao should not have any improper thoughts.”

You think you can win against me.

Just then, Jiang Xianyue pushed the door open and came in, urging Shen Shijing.

They were also surprised to see Xu Qingfeng here.

"Senior brother, what are you doing here? I thought you weren't going to see me off again."

Jiang Xianyue's voice carried a touch of girlish playfulness.

Xu Qingfeng forced a smile.

"Master Xu meant well. He was worried that Miss Jiang's spiritual energy was insufficient, so he came to give her this advice. Miss Jiang, let's go."

Shen Shijing stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Xianyue's wrist, and led her outside.

Jiang Xianyue was being pulled along and had no way to turn around.

Shen Shijing turned around and gave Xu Qingfeng a provocative look.

Xu Qingfeng simply gripped his sword tightly, clenched his teeth, and watched the two leave without saying a word.
