Li Fei smiled and said, "Alright, as long as you're happy."
"Xiao Fei, hey."
Li Lei put away his smile and said seriously, "I shouldn't interfere in your affairs, but there's sothing I'd like to ask."
Li Fei looked at him, "Uncle, go ahead."
Li Lei: "What are your thoughts on your future wife?"
Zhang Yuqing, who was beside them, perked up at these words and looked at Li Fei with concern.
She was worried about this issue too.
In the Cultivation World, Li Fei being twenty-four was indeed very young.
But in the eyes of his parents, people of this age should have settled down already.
"Ah?"
Li Fei felt a bit embarrassed.
Indeed, when it cos to the pressure to marry, whether you're an ordinary person or a Martial Saint, you can't escape it.....
"If you have soone in mind, we won't worry. If not, Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang can recomnd a few people to you.
Recently, there have been quite a few that both Aunt Zhang and I think are very good candidates. They haven't said they want anything serious, just want to get to know you first. What do you think?"
Li Lei said.
"That's right, Xiao Fei."
Zhang Yuqing also said eagerly, "If you have soone in mind, you can tell us too."
Li Fei stayed silent for a mont, looking earnestly at Li Lei and Zhang Yuqing:
"Uncle Li, Aunt Zhang, I do have soone I like."
"Oh?"
Li Lei and Zhang Yuqing exchanged a glance, both having smiles on their faces, but more than that, curiosity.
"Who is it?"
Zhang Yuqing asked.
Li Fei smiled awkwardly, "Well... it's hard to say right now, perhaps she doesn't feel the sa way about ..... When it's settled, I'll be sure to tell you both first."
Li Lei laughed, "Hahaha, alright, alright, then Aunt Zhang and I will wait for your good news."
Zhang Yuqing: "Our Xiao Fei is so outstanding, which girl wouldn't be moved? Xiao Fei, you haven't even told her, have you?"
Li Fei: "Well..."
Li Lei: "Alright, alright, let the child handle it himself, don't ask too much."
Zhang Yuqing: "I'm just giving a reminder. Xiao Fei is good in most aspects, but in matters of love, I can offer so advice."
"..."
They chatted for a while longer, and Li Fei left 'embarrassed'.
Back in his room, recalling what Li Lei and Zhang Yuqing had said earlier, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Unconsciously, a length of Thousand chanism Shadowless Silk had appeared in his hand, and he sent a ssage:
"What are you doing?"
A long ti passed with no response from the other side.
Just as Li Fei started to worry, the Thousand chanism Shadowless Silk vibrated slightly, and a ssage ca through:
"Drinking wine."
"Hmm?"
Li Fei raised an eyebrow, "Drinking alone?"
"Yes."
This reply ca quickly.
"You rarely drink, what's up?"
"Nothing, just felt like drinking."
Upon seeing this reply, Li Fei walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the night sky outside.
A crescent moon hung in the night sky, with a few stars twinkling.
The bright moonlight fell into the courtyard, casting mottled shadows of the trees.
"Then I'll drink with you."
Li Fei replied.
Ning Qingman: "You're in Lanling City, right? How will you drink with ?"
Li Fei: "Look up at the sky."
Ning Qingman: "... And then?"
Li Fei also looked up at the bright moon, "Tonight's moon is beautiful."
Ning Qingman: "Indeed."
Li Fei: "It reminds of a poem: 'I raise my cup to the bright moon, and with my shadow make three.'
The other side fell silent for a while again.
"Did you write it?"
"I really didn't."
"I get it, it's by that poet Li again, right?"
"... Yes."
"Hehe."
"I'm currently raising my cup toward the bright moon, the two of us drinking under the sa moonlight, I guess that's drinking with you."
Thousands of miles away.
At the top of a solitary mountain, Ning Qingman in a blue-green robe sat on a rock, a wine pot beside her, holding a wine glass in her hand.
This solitary mountain was her retreat for healing.
For so reason, she felt like drinking tonight, so she went to buy wine and sat at the mountaintop drinking alone.
When she saw Li Fei's ssage, she paused for a mont.
She looked up at the moon above her, and the image of Li Fei raising a cup toward the moon appeared in her mind.
Raise a cup to invite the bright moon...
Ning Qingman's lips curved slightly upwards, and she too lifted her wine glass towards the moon in the night sky.
Under the sa night sky, with the sa moonlight, two people, miles apart, completed a 'toast'.
"Alright, cheers."
Ning Qingman said softly, then finished the wine in her glass.
Suddenly, she felt better, and the sense of loneliness surrounding her disappeared.
"What other poems has that poet Li written? Tell ."
She asked with a smile.
"There are plenty, so many that they can't be finished in one night."
"Tch."
She pursed her lips, "Talking big."
"What is love in this world, that makes us pledge life and death."
The other side suddenly sent this line.
Ning Qingman was stunned.
What is love in this world, that makes us pledge life and death!
She recited the line repeatedly and suddenly felt a bit flustered.
Why would Li Fei send a line like this?
Was he hinting at sothing?
Do we consider each other pledged life and death?
Images flooded Ning Qingman's mind—
Under the sky over Tan City, the figure shielding her from the Heavenly Tribulation.
Deep in the Northern Barbarians, the two battling the River Guardian Heavenly King together.
In Cuiqing City, charging into the city despite knowing it was a trap.
Facing an encirclent by three Peak masters, defending but not attacking with his swordsmanship.
At a life-and-death mont, the hand that suddenly grasped her from behind.....
"If we survive this, will you wield your sword across the world with , standing for justice?"
And the words that left Ning Qingman unsure how to respond.
"What are you thinking?"
The vibration of the Thousand chanism Shadowless Silk in her hand interrupted Ning Qingman's mories.
She grasped the transparent silk line tightly, "Was that poem by Li too?"
Li Fei: "That line wasn't."
For so reason, Ning Qingman suddenly felt a bit angry:
"So why did you send it to ?"
Li Fei: "It just ca to mind."
The other side fell silent again.
"Don't send it again in the future."
Ning Qingman suddenly sent this line.
Li Fei was taken aback, grasping the Thousand chanism Shadowless Silk:
"Do you rember what you promised ?"
Ning Qingman: "What?"
Li Fei: "To go to the Heavenly Tower with ."
Ning Qingman: "... You know I'm healing, I might not be able to go with you."
Li Fei looked at this line, took a deep breath:
"Ning Qingman."
"You're getting on in years, not keeping your word?"
Those words struck Ning Qingman's most sensitive point, and she suddenly stood up from the rock:
"Li Fei! Are you looking to die?!!"
Li Fei: "You're a Martial Saint, you can live for two hundred years. For ordinary people, you're still young."
Ning Qingman: "What are you trying to say?"
Li Fei: "I'm saying, while we're young, let's not leave any regrets, and do what needs to be done."
"Heavenly Tower, let's go together!"
...
"Li Fei! Are you looking to die?!!"
Li Fei: "You're a Martial Saint, you can live for two hundred years. For ordinary people, you're still young."
Ning Qingman: "What are you trying to say?"
Li Fei: "I'm saying, while we're young, let's not leave any regrets, and do what needs to be done."
"Heavenly Tower, let's go together!"
