My Silly, Sweet Wife

Although Gongsun Fengying was somewhat reluctant, she still stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.

Outside stood a young man about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

The young man was dressed in a white long robe, had a fair complexion, and carried a precious sword on his back, looking like a graceful swordsman straight out of a martial arts world.

”Fifth Master?”

Seeing the person, Gongsun Fengying was taken aback.

Could it be that Grandpa introduced the Fifth Master to her?

The visitor’s name was Liu Xuanji, the fifth direct disciple of Zhang Chonglou, and the fifth elder brother of Zhang Chongchen.

Of course, Liu Xuanji was much younger than Zhang Chongchen, but since he entered earlier, Zhang Chongchen had to call him elder brother.

”Fengying, hello!” Liu Xuanji blushed slightly when he saw Gongsun Fengying: ”You better not call me Master. Just call me Xuanji.”

Gongsun Fengying felt goosebumps all over and awkwardly invited Liu Xuanji into the room.

The elder smiled and greeted Liu Xuanji: ”Xuanji, you’re here.”

Liu Xuanji hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully saluted the elder: ”Grandpa Gongsun, Xuanji has met Grandpa Gongsun.”

”Good, good, it’s good that you’re here. You two have a chat; I’ll go for a walk.” The elder laughed, stood up, and when he passed by Gongsun Fengying, he whispered, ”Girl, Xuanji has liked you since he saw you as a child. Don’t let down his feelings.”

Gongsun Fengying blushed deeply and stomped her foot in exasperation. ”Grandpa, why are you meddling in matchmaking?”

”Girl, cherish it.” The elder smiled slyly, ignored Gongsun Fengying’s protests, and quickly walked out, closing the door behind him.

However, as he reached the courtyard, the elder looked up at the moon hanging high in the sky and sighed deeply: ”Oh, girl, I hope you understand my intentions. Now that the Eternal Life Hall is causing chaos again, there’s nowhere to hide in the world. Even our Gongsun Family can’t help, only this sect is relatively safer. Marrying Xuanji is an opportunity for you.”

He shook his head, suppressed his complicated emotions, and walked briskly towards the courtyard where Zhang Chonglou was located.

Inside the room.

Liu Xuanji was somewhat uneasy.

Gongsun Fengying furrowed her brows, seeing that her grandpa had left, pretended to be oblivious, and looked at Liu Xuanji: ”Fifth Master, did you come to see me for something?”

Liu Xuanji looked a bit dumbfounded and was taken aback: ”Didn’t Grandpa Gongsun tell you?”

”Tell me what?” Gongsun Fengying retorted.

Liu Xuanji, feeling awkward, said: ”Fengying, actually, since I first saw you when you were seven, I’ve liked you. Over the years, I’ve been working hard, and now I’ve achieved success in Sword Dao. I’m regarded in Heavenly Master Tao as the second only to my master in Sword Dao. In the past, I didn’t dare to express my feelings, but now I’ve achieved some success, and you’ve grown up, I, I want to...”

”Fifth Master, since I was a child, I’ve regarded you as an uncle.” Gongsun Fengying widened her eyes, pretending to be shocked: ”You actually have such thoughts? I, I suddenly don’t know what to say.”

As she spoke, Gongsun Fengying looked genuinely surprised.

Liu Xuanji, with ardent eyes, said: ”Fengying, your grandfather and master both agreed. As long as you’re willing, we can get married next month. Really, I like you, I...”

”Stop!” Gongsun Fengying finally couldn’t take it anymore. She always thought her grandpa came to Heavenly Master Tao to discuss the Eternal Life Hall with Zhang Chonglou, but didn’t expect the old man to pull this stunt.

Her eyes darted around, and Gongsun Fengying raised her snowy white neck like a proud peacock: ”Fifth Master, actually, I already have someone I like.”

”What?” Liu Xuanji’s eyes bulged: ”Who is it?”

Gongsun Fengying smirked inwardly, but her face appeared full of pride: ”Fifth Master, that person is now in your Heavenly Master Tao. He’s amazing, extremely talented in both martial arts and medicine. I’ve heard even Grandpa Zhang likes him very much. However, didn’t you say you’re now the second-best in Sword Dao in Heavenly Master Tao, after Grandpa Zhang? Hmm, if you can defeat him, then I might consider interacting with you.”

Liu Xuanji turned from anger to joy hearing this: ”Okay, Fengying, you said it! Who is he? Tell me now, and I’ll immediately challenge him.”

”Ye Guichen!” Gongsun Fengying’s lips curled into a cunning smile: ”However, I’m afraid you’ll lose, and when that happens, it will be the face of your Heavenly Master Tao that’s on the line.”

”Hmph! Fengying, just wait!” Liu Xuanji snorted coldly, full of disdain: ”I’ll be back soon.”

With that, he really turned and left.

Watching Liu Xuanji’s retreating figure, Gongsun Fengying shook her head and muttered to herself: ”Why didn’t I realize before that Fifth Master was a blockhead, actually going to challenge Ye Guichen for a beating.”

”Tsk tsk, with just him, can he defeat Ye Guichen?”

In her mind, an image of Ye Guichen, carefree but with everything under control, flashed inexplicably.

A blush spread across her face.

Instantly, Gongsun Fengying spat at herself: ”Peh peh peh, do I really think Ye Guichen is invincible? It’d be better if he loses, but if he really loses, what do I do?”

For some reason, her mind was a mess.

On the other side.

Zhang Chonglou had already returned to his residence.

The other sect members had also gone to bed.

Despite discussing for most of the day, there was still no clue on how to deal with the Eternal Life Hall.

Especially since the Eternal Life Hall was still hiding in the shadows, there was no way to deal with them.

The only way was to send sect members out, constantly vigilant, and once they found traces of the Eternal Life Hall, follow the trail to the source.

”Gongsun Zhi, come in if you’re here!”

Inside, Zhang Chonglou’s voice sounded.

Lurking outside, Gongsun Zhi chuckled and pushed the door open.

Gongsun Zhi was precisely Gongsun Fengying’s grandfather.

”Old man, do you have something to tell me?” Seeing Gongsun Zhi, Zhang Chonglou smiled and asked.

Gongsun Zhi organized his words, then straightforwardly asked: ”Zhang Chonglou, what’s the origin of that boy named Ye Guichen? Although I haven’t seen Fengying for a while, this time I feel she’s changed a lot, and almost every three sentences mention that boy. Moreover, I’ve heard that he’s offended the Medicine King Valley and is very arrogant. If this troublemaker really gets entangled with our Fengying girl, it can’t happen.”

Zhang Chonglou laughed heartily: ”Oh, Old Gongsun, did you come here tonight to specifically question me?”

Gongsun Zhi pouted: ”I’m not questioning. You know the reason I withdrew from the sect years ago and why the younger generation doesn’t practice Daoist arts now; I just want Fengying and them to live a stable life, and I don’t want to get involved in more trouble.”

Zhang Chonglou stroked his beard: ”Old Gongsun, Fengying’s character is not like yours, daring to love and hate. If it weren’t for you, she could have practiced Daoist arts, and she’d definitely be a promising talent. Moreover, now that she’s already involved in disputes, it might already be difficult to extricate herself.”
