All the joy in Jianxia City comes from the largest cultivation family. A young woman in this family recently found a dual cultivation partner, and the whole city is celebrating.

At this moment, in a room in a courtyard in the center of Jianxia City, a woman in a red dress sat in front of a bronze mirror, staring blankly at her beautiful self in the mirror, but her expression revealed a deep numbness.

Her eyes were dead, without any spirit.

She is Bai Mian.

Last time, in order to prove himself, Bai Mian resolutely left his family and went out alone to explore the world, sleeping in the open air, and finally achieved something and became a monk.

Later, in order to strengthen himself, he joined the evil sect of Tiandu Sect. With his own talent and perseverance, and by making friends with Jiuxing Lian'er in the sect, he achieved rapid growth.

Unexpectedly, the Demon Island was opened and Bai Mian entered it. She clearly realized the power of the cultivation world. She felt her own insignificance and returned to her family with a dead heart.

Bai Mian still remembered that when she first returned to the family, her eldest uncle and second uncle ridiculed her. Even her father was strongly dissatisfied with her and felt that she had brought shame upon him.

For this purpose, she was betrothed to the young lord of Scorpion City in order to establish a good marriage, establish a relationship with the lord of Scorpion City, and gain support for the development of the family.

Bai Mian had no ability to resist his father's decision and could only bear it silently.

Just thinking about becoming a dual cultivation partner with someone she has never met in the future, a figure has always appeared in Bai Mian's mind day and night in recent days, a person who is cold and heartless and does not care about her.

The scene of him taking away my body that day would appear in my mind from time to time.

This made Bai Mian bite her lower lip tightly. She felt aggrieved, as if she had been abandoned and could not feel any love, whether it was the love of her parents, the love of her elders, the love of her clan, or the love of the man who took her body away.

She was already dead inside, so she simply gave up struggling and accepted her fate.

"Miss, your wedding ceremony will be in three days. Everyone in the city and Scorpion City will come to celebrate with you. You should be happy. Why are you so sad these days?"

A maid behind Bai Mian looked puzzled.

As soon as she said this, another maid rolled her eyes at her and said disdainfully, "What's there to be happy about?"

"The young lord of Scorpion City is a womanizer, with numerous wives and concubines. I heard he loves someone else's wife the most, and he has destroyed many families. If anyone resists, he will wipe out the entire family."

"How many people were captured by him and suffered a fate worse than death."

"Such a cruel and lascivious beast, Third Master actually betrothed the young lady to that man. Although he agreed to divorce his current wife and make the young lady his legal wife, in my opinion, he is simply pushing the young lady into a pit of fire."

The maidservant was furious, her voice rising considerably: "If it were me, I would probably be crying every day, how could I possibly smile?"

The maidservant stopped talking immediately. She didn't know much about the Young Lord of Scorpion City. She had only thought that this was a happy event and she should be happy. She never imagined that the man who was about to become the young lady's dual cultivation partner would be such a despicable person.

Bai Mian looked at himself in the mirror and was dazed for a moment.

"Miss, let's go out and relax. Staying in the house all the time will make you sick," the maid advised.

Bai Mian didn't want to move and didn't want to see the festive atmosphere outside, but then he thought that these three days might be his last days of freedom. After three days, he would fall into hell.

So, she walked out of the house for the first time in months and walked on the festive streets. She saw that every building on the street was hung with red ribbons and everyone was laughing and talking, but to her, it sounded extremely harsh.

"Hmph, it's just like a dog-skin plaster, you can't get rid of it." The maid who stood up for Bai Mian snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at the six Bai family monks behind her.

These six people said they were guards, but in fact everyone knew that they were just surveillance. After all, what kind of trouble could they encounter in Jianxia City?

He was actually sent by the Bai family to prevent Bai Mian from escaping secretly.

The two maids followed behind Bai Mian and heard congratulations from everyone they met. They felt happy when they were unaware of the situation, but now they felt heartbroken.

After walking a few streets, a maid finally couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed Bai Mian's arm, and said, "Miss, let's go for a walk in the back hills. It's very crowded and noisy here."

"Yeah, it's annoying to hear." Another maid also said.

However, the two of them suddenly discovered that Bai Mian's face, which had been frowning for several months, now showed a hint of spirit. Her eyes were shining, and she looked quietly ahead, her expression changing rapidly.

The whole person was like a red rose that was about to wither, but suddenly it became shiny and vibrant, and came back to life.

There was a hint of surprise clearly on her face.

Before the two maids turned around to look.

A slender black figure took the initiative to walk up, then smiled slightly: "Senior Sister Bai, how are you?"

Bai Mian opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She still had the taboo left by Xue Kong on her body. She couldn't utter Xue Kong's name, let alone the word "you".

In the eyes of the two maids and six guards, this scene made Bai Mian speechless, making people feel that there was an unusual story between her and Xue Kong.

When they heard the word "Senior Sister" from Xue Kong's mouth, all sorts of thoughts immediately came to their minds.

After all, senior sisters and junior brothers usually have a very good relationship.

"Don't come... Are you okay? I didn't expect to meet you here." Bai Mian's face suddenly broke into a bright smile, and her beautiful eyes turned into crescent shapes when she smiled.

The two maids were stunned.

They were arranged to stay with Bai Mian since he returned to the Bai family. They had never seen such a bright smile on Bai Mian's face, not even when he was in front of his parents.

This made them even more certain that the relationship between Xue Kong and Bai Mian was unusual.

"I'm getting married in three days. My father has assigned me a partner for dual cultivation. Although I've never met that person, it's my parents' order and the matchmaker's words. I..."

"Congratulations." Bai Mian was interrupted by Xue Kong before he could finish his words.

Bai Mian's figure trembled violently. Xue Kong's words of "Congratulations" made her face turn pale in an instant, and a sad smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Congratulations...huh."

She looked at Xue Kong with resentful eyes.

She had said these words just now deliberately for Xue Kong to hear, and even said that she had never met the other party and it was not voluntary, in order to test Xue Kong's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Xue Kong was not only indifferent, but congratulated him instead.

This made Bai Mian's blood surge in his heart, and he almost couldn't hold back the blood and spit it out. He saw the person he had been thinking about day and night, and he never thought that the situation would be like this.

"Are you really so heartless?" Bai Mian sighed secretly in his heart, and his eyes looking at Xue Kong were filled with endless disappointment and hatred.

Xue Kong ignored the disappointed and hateful look and asked, "Senior Sister, can you get me this northern map? I need it urgently."
