The True Elegance Teahouse, the sa one where Liu Zixuan and Xiangyang previously discussed cooperation with the Fifth Elder, was a place where Bai Jingjing had specifically ntioned to Liu Zixuan about a unique room nad 'Nianxuan Pavilion'.
Listening to the familiar voice on the other end, Liu Zixuan hesitated for a mont, "Is it really okay for us to et now?"
The pleasant voice responded again, "Actually, we've been able to et for a long ti, haven't we?"
Suddenly, Liu Zixuan recalled sothing. The day he left the True Elegance Teahouse, a waiter handed him a note on behalf of their boss. However, he was in a hurry to go to the dical Immortal Sect at that ti, so he just stuffed it into his pocket and later forgot all about it.
Rembering now, he quickly took the note out from his pocket. Looking at the handwriting, Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead, "Okay, I'll co to find you now!"
After hanging up the phone, Bai Jingjing ca over, "Who was that?"
"Soone I'm not sure is an ally or a foe." Liu Zixuan took a deep breath and handed the note to Bai Jingjing.
The note was simple: Quickly co to Nianxuan Pavilion for a chat. There was no signature, but Liu Zixuan recognized the handwriting.
Bai Jingjing furrowed her brows slightly, "It's probably soone I don't know then."
"Yeah, I haven't been in contact with her for long either." Liu Zixuan took a deep breath and stood up from the sofa, "You guys stay here, I'm going to Celestial Fate City."
"Be careful. Since you can't determine if they are a friend or foe, be extra cautious not to fall into their trap!"
Nodding at Bai Jingjing's words, Liu Zixuan walked straight out.
Watching his back, Mo Chengfeng asked, "Jingjing jie, do you know who my brother-in-law was talking about?"
Bai Jingjing shook her head, "Since he doesn't want to say, it's useless to force it. I think since he's decided to go, he must have an idea in his heart. Besides, just by the na Nianxuan Pavilion, you can tell the person who called Zixuan probably won't hurt him!"
"And the matter of the construction layout of the Willow Association?" Mo Chengfeng hesitated.
"We'll talk about it when Zixuan cos back early, or if he returns late, we can discuss it tomorrow when we go to the Willow Association. Anyway, it's not a very pressing issue." After speaking, Bai Jingjing walked towards Liu Zixuan's practice room. Mo Chengfeng also went back to his unique office.
...
Celestial Fate City, True Elegance Teahouse.
As soon as Liu Zixuan parked his car, the waiter who had given him the note before ca over, "Mr. Liu, our boss is waiting for you in Nianxuan Pavilion."
"Thanks!" Liu Zixuan took two banknotes from his pocket, handed them to the waiter, and walked inside.
Walking in, Liu Zixuan gently pushed open the door to the Nianxuan Pavilion. The arrangent before him slightly moved him.
Because, unlike other rooms, this one didn't even have a proper tea table. It completely replicated the room in Lingxiu Village where he treated Ying Qingning.
Every decoration, every setup, even a single water cup, was exactly the sa!
"Must have taken a lot of thought to arrange this room." Liu Zixuan smiled.
"Ever since I returned here, I couldn't forget every scene from back then, so I replicated it and placed it here. I was thinking that maybe, on a certain day in the future, you would co here, see this scene, and rember that you once t !"
The girl in front of Liu Zixuan was none other than Ying Qingning, whom he had once treated!
Ying Qingning, who had been living in a nightmare for more than ten years after losing her parents in a car accident!
Of course, she had another identity as the non-family eldest daughter of the Willow Association!
Sitting down on the chair, Liu Zixuan smiled, "Why did you call here now?"
"You seem a bit resistant to ."
Ying Qingning gave a gentle smile, "I know you're resistant because the Willow Association is publicly declaring to target you together with the guests coming here. You're probably worried I'll take the opportunity to do sothing to you?"
"You're overthinking it. If you really intended to harm , this room wouldn't be called Nianxuan Pavilion, nor would it replicate the room setup of Lingxiu Village!"
Liu Zixuan shrugged, "I just don't want to make things difficult for you. Even though I've had so issues with the Willow Association, I still see you as a friend. Given the current awkward circumstances, eting like this will undoubtedly cause you trouble."
"Thank you for still considering a friend!"
Ying Qingning slightly shook her head, "It might be troubleso, after all, one side is the family that raised , and the other side is you, who saved my life. But that doesn't stop from having a chat with you."
"Chat?" Liu Zixuan was taken aback, "Sister, do you think we really have ti for just chatting at this mont?"
"Are you nervous?"
Ying Qingning chuckled softly, "In my impression, Liu Zixuan has always been a fearless man. You weren't scared of anything, not even when you made a three-month agreent in front of the two patriarchs of the Willow Association. That was so domineering. So why do you suddenly seem tense and scared now?"
Liu Zixuan took out a cigarette and lit it, "The Willow Association alone isn't enough to make fearful. It's just that I didn't expect us to chat during this awkward ti fra."
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore!"
Ying Qingning waved her hand, "I ca to tell you that this so-called banquet by the Willow Association is just a facade. The real purpose is to help and Ruyan choose suitable boyfriends."
"As expected!" This was already within Liu Zixuan's expectations, but previously he only anticipated Ruyan and didn't realize the Willow Association was planning to marry off both eldest daughters!
"It's actually a martial arts tournant for marriage. The participants are young talents from major families and organizations around the world. They'll let the talents from these family and power circles compete, selecting the strongest and most suitable one."
"Is it rely to choose a boyfriend for you two?" Liu Zixuan asked with a aningful look.
"Of course, it's not that simple. The Four Great Clans and the Eight Great Powers have had open and secret battles for decades, with even more conflicts in recent years. The heads of the Willow Association do not have sons, so they are using this thod first to find boyfriends for and Ruyan, and secondly to find reliable partners for the Willow Association. They will face the other three great clans and seven great powers in the future."
Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes and nodded, "Indeed, all these major families have the sa tactics. They only know how to strengthen themselves through such low-level arranged marriages. I thought the Willow Association wouldn't do this, but it seems I really have overestimated them!"
"The larger the family, the more concerned they are about one day falling apart. Though the thod of arranged marriage is low-level, it is still the most reliable." Ying Qingning let out a bitter smile, "It's just that they've ignored the feelings of Ruyan and !"
