“Who says no? I’m willing. If the city lord doesn’t mind, I’m willing to marry Miss Yu’er. But does the city lord keep his word? Is he really willing to marry his daughter to me?” A man in the crowd said seriously.

Everyone else looked at the man. It turned out that the man was none other than the purple-clad man who had competed with Gu Changqing earlier.

No one noticed how agitated Yu'er became upon hearing the man in purple's words.

"I, the city lord, am a man of my word, and I always keep my promises. But how can I know if you truly want to marry Miss Yu'er, or if it's just for my power and wealth? If you are truly willing, then you must voluntarily give up my wealth and power. Are you willing? If you are, I will have no objections and can marry my daughter to you right now," the city lord said seriously and aggressively.

----------------------------

The city lord deliberately said this to discourage the man in purple. He felt that the man in purple was definitely not sincere about wanting Yu'er, but was probably after his own power and wealth. Before, the man in purple did not know the true appearance of his daughter, so he may have been after her beauty. But now that the man in purple knew the truth, Yu'er's beauty was gone, so all that was left was power and wealth. The city lord could not think of any other reason besides this.

Not only the city lord thought this way, but everyone else did too. After all, this was a chance to rise to prominence, and seizing it could completely change their fate.

"I'm willing!" The man in purple said without hesitation, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

No one present expected the man in purple to answer so decisively and readily. He didn't seem to be lying; there seemed to be some sincerity in his words. However, they couldn't understand what the man in purple was after if he wasn't after the city lord's wealth and power. Was it perhaps for Yu'er's current ugly face?

The answer is obviously no!

Love at first sight does happen, but it's usually for handsome men and beautiful women; I've never seen anyone fall for someone who's ugly.

This left everyone present bewildered and unable to comprehend it, prompting them to marvel at the diversity of human nature.

-----

For a time, everyone was very curious and wanted to know the reason behind it.

The city lord was clearly taken aback by the purple-clad man's answer and was momentarily speechless.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that it seems a bit unbelievable. If you're sincere, then make a vow, otherwise I really can't believe you," the city lord said, still somewhat uneasy.

In fact, the city lord also hoped that what the man in purple said was true. If it was sincere, he would be quite gratified and genuinely happy for his daughter.

"Heaven above and Earth below, I vow today to marry Miss Yue'er. If I cannot do so, I would rather be struck by heaven..."

Before the man in purple could finish speaking, Miss Yu'er said loudly, "Enough, stop talking, Father, don't make things difficult for him anymore."

The city lord was somewhat surprised by Yu'er's reaction.

"Yu'er, didn't I do all this for you? Why don't you understand your father?" The city lord was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected his daughter to say such a thing to him, and he felt extremely sad.

"Father, don't be angry. I don't blame you. I just didn't want him to make such a heavy vow. I know him and his character. He won't break his promise. We've already decided to spend our lives together. He's not after your power or wealth. Besides, when he met me, my face was already like this, but he didn't look down on me. Instead, he stayed with me without hesitation. So I believe in his character." Yu'er told the whole story without reservation, without hiding anything.

"Oh, so you two knew each other a long time ago. That explains it. But when did you two meet? Why didn't Father know?" the city lord said, suddenly realizing.

"The two of them met by chance at a market. It's a long story, and if Father wants to know, I'll tell you in detail when we have time. It's better not to say anything now in front of so many people," Yu'er said with a gentle smile.

"Actually, I've known Yu'er for a long time. I say I fell in love with her at first sight, but it's not just her appearance that I like. I like her character even more. Her voice and her kind personality have deeply fascinated me. Even though she's disfigured now, I still like her." The man in purple said sincerely and frankly.

He wasn't the kind of man who only cared about appearances. He met Yu'er during the darkest moment of his life. Because of Yu'er's appearance, he felt that his life was suddenly filled with sunshine and he had the courage to live on. Yu'er was like the white moonlight in his heart, sacred and inviolable.

"Since you two are of the same mind, then I have nothing more to say. What do you think of the two of them being together, Young Master Gu?" Upon hearing the words of the man in purple, the city lord felt extremely gratified. He hadn't expected that even with his daughter in such a state, someone would still want her.

"I have no objection. I have already said that I do not intend to marry Miss Yu'er. I felt a little guilty at first, but now that Miss Yu'er has found someone she truly loves, I am very pleased. Of course, I am willing to grant them their wish." Gu Changqing said with a faint smile and a sincere expression.

He originally wanted to marry a beautiful woman, but now that she's disfigured, he's definitely not willing to marry her. It just so happens that someone else has married her, and Gu Changqing is overjoyed.

"May I ask, Miss Yue'er, how did you get the scars on your face? Didn't you say you didn't have them before? If we can find the cause, perhaps there's a way to restore your appearance," Gu Changqing suddenly thought of something and asked directly.

He thought that since he had so many pills, perhaps one of them could heal Yu'er's face. He wanted to do this to express his apology and to help the kind-hearted Yu'er regain her appearance.

As for whether he could restore his appearance, Gu Changqing wasn't sure either; he just wanted to do everything he could.

"My face was initially scalded by boiling water. Later, because I used the wrong medicine, it took a long time to heal and it got worse and worse, until it became like this now," Yu'er said without any hesitation, with some sadness.

She's now fearless and doesn't care about anything anymore. Since so many people have seen it, what's there to be afraid of?
