After Jiang Yuan left, the two women fell into a brief silence. Even putting aside everything else, this was a scandalous matter that was shameful to mention.

"Tan'er, I'm sorry." Sikong Miao's body trembled.

"It's alright, he was just trying to scare you. He wouldn't dare do anything to you." Mi Tan'er hugged Sikong Miao tightly. Jiang Yuan still needed her help, so he wouldn't dare to violate Sikong Miao.

“Jiang Yuan is a real scumbag. He doesn’t like you; he’s just using you! So…” Sikong Miao looked at Mi Tan’er with a downcast expression and pleaded, “Can’t you not be with him?”

“Miaomiao, I know all this, but the Fuxi clan needs him, and I genuinely like him. If we can keep him with some conditions, I think I can accept it.” Mi Tan’er finished speaking, her serious expression making it seem like she wasn’t lying.

"You know?" Sikong Miao couldn't understand.

"Alright, you should go back to the Sikong family for the next few days. We'll invite you to the wedding banquet again after we're engaged." Mi Tan'er was worried that Sikong Miao would interfere with the engagement ceremony, so she had no choice but to resort to this tactic.

"Tan'er, I want to know what he wants?" Sikong Miao asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

Mi Tan'er paused for a moment, but didn't speak. She just shook her head and said, "Don't ask anymore."

"Is he the ancestor of the Fuxi clan...?"

Just as Sikong Miao was about to blurt it out, Mi Tan'er quickly covered her mouth to prevent her from saying the words "ancestral artifact".

"Miaomiao, don't say anything carelessly, this concerns his life," Mi Tan'er warned.

Sikong Miao's lips moved slightly, but she only had the freedom to speak after conveying the message of secrecy to Mi Tan'er. She said, "Do you know what this means?"

"This means the Fuxi clan has lost both their wife and their army!" Mi Tan'er smiled calmly, as if she had known the outcome all along.

“That thing can’t be used by anyone who isn’t a member of the Fuxi clan, unless they obtain the blood essence of a direct descendant.” Sikong Miao’s eyes showed heartache, which meant that Mi Tan’er not only had to steal her family’s ancestral artifact, but also had to offer up her one and only blood essence.

"That's why I'm getting engaged to him. I can't lose my virginity and have no one to take responsibility! If that happens, my grandfather will definitely break my legs!" Mi Tan'er chuckled, trying her best to appear optimistic, because it was her own choice.

"Do you know this scumbag?" Sikong Miao pressed.

Mi Tan'er shook her head and said, "I haven't had a chance to tell him yet."

"No, I have to tell him to let..."

Sikong Miao was about to put on her clothes when Mi Tan'er delivered a Soul Piercing Strike, a sudden attack that plunged the unsuspecting Sikong Miao into a deep coma.

Looking at the unconscious Sikong Miao, Mi Tan'er muttered to herself, "I don't know if what I did was right or wrong, but Tan'er has no other choice."

After saying that, Mi Tan'er helped Sikong Miao get dressed and then saw her off. She couldn't let Sikong Miao stay by her side.

Today is her engagement ceremony with Jiang Yuan, and also the day she stole the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Mirror. Sikong Miao's presence will make everything unpredictable.

Having taken care of everything, Mi Tan'er tried her best to appear happy, while several people were already waiting in the hall.

Only a handful of people knew about her engagement to Jiang Yuan: Mi Tan'er's parents, Tai Hao Yao, Tai Hao Ming, and Tai Hao Wen Xing. Originally, there was also Si Kong Miao besides these five people, but Si Kong Miao was clearly against it, so...

"Jiang Yuan, you should know my grandfather and the others, so let me introduce my parents to you."

Mi Tan'er pulled Jiang Yuan aside and began to introduce her parents. This was Jiang Yuan's first formal meeting with Mi Tan'er's parents. However, to his surprise, Mi Tan'er's parents were two people who had not entered the path of cultivation. Living in a great family without cultivation seemed incongruous, but Mi Tan'er's parents did not seem uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, they were very calm and composed, which was also a manifestation of the Fuxi clan's heritage.

Even those without any cultivation can hold a high position within the clan as long as they are direct descendants. This is the foundation for ensuring the continuation of the Fuxi clan.

"Greetings, Uncle and Aunt." Jiang Yuan greeted them politely.

"Yuan'er, you must change how you address her from now on! Tan'er is our only daughter, you must treat her well and not let her down!" Mother Mi looked at Mi Tan'er with loving eyes. She was her pride, but she never expected that her pride would be shared with someone else so soon.

“Mother, Jiang Yuan is a very good person.” Mi Tan’er came up to speak well of Jiang Yuan.

“Yes, we shouldn’t meddle in the affairs of these young people.” Father Mi was quite open-minded. He knew that people in aristocratic families often couldn’t be free in their marriages. It was already a rare blessing that his daughter had found someone she truly liked and whose family didn’t object. Naturally, he wouldn’t do anything to break them up.

"Alright, it's time for the ceremony. Father and Mother, remember to give us your most eternal witness and your sincerest blessings!" Mi Tan'er made a heart shape with her hands towards the two of them, and then took Jiang Yuan's arm and walked onto the stage.

There were only five witnesses. It wasn't that Mi Tan'er didn't want more people to witness, but she was worried that the lie would eventually be exposed, and she didn't want to become a laughing stock for everyone.

Jiang Yuan cooperated fully, and the ceremony was as Mi Tan'er had said, kept simple. It only took one morning from start to finish, and after the ceremony, the two would proceed to the final step.

They left behind a knot of love between the two when they entered the ancestral hall, and also took the Yin-Yang Bagua mirror.

"Let's go, I'll take you there!"

This time, Taihao Yao did not make a move because it was Mi Tan'er's request. If Taihao Yao were to act, there was a high probability that his act of stealing the ancestral artifact would be discovered. However, if it were Taihao Wenxing instead, there would be no great concern.
