Xie Nanzhou felt that the silver dress really suited Liu Yin. She was probably wearing makeup today, as her lips weren't as pale as he usually saw her.

Yuncheng has always valued elaborate and gorgeous clothing, just like Liuyin's outfit, with large silver threads outlining the hem of her skirt, which looked like moonlight pouring down under the flickering candlelight.

"Have you made your choice?" Xie Nanzhou asked Liu Yin with a smile.

"Mm." Liuyin nodded.

Xie Nanzhou looked down at her, then took her hand and led her to the bustling street.

The appearance of the two naturally attracted the attention of most people, and many recognized them as the girls that Xie family head had brought back today.

Most people just smiled knowingly; the Lantern Festival is indeed a suitable day to express one's feelings. On this day, it's also easy to receive the blessing of the Flower Goddess and achieve a happy marriage.

Xie Nanzhou's face had lost the coldness of the daytime; his exceptionally handsome features softened, revealing a touch of warmth.

"Do you like this?" The man led Liuyin to the vendor, whose stall displayed strings of flower garlands.

Flowers of all colors are available, and skillful vendors weave them into various shapes to please girls.

Xie Nanzhou had never seen anything like this before, and everything he saw at the Lantern Festival was a novel experience for him.

He took Liuyin's hand and went to many places, but he always kept an eye on her health. He never forgot that Ye Jing's daughter had always been frail, a fact that had been circulating in the martial arts world.

The lantern festival gradually came to an end as midnight approached.

Xie Nanzhou took Liuyin back to the Xie family. Since their residences were close and they were holding hands the whole time, Xie An was very considerate and didn't bother them.

Xie An knew that the news he was about to report might anger Xie Nanzhou, but it wouldn't be good to upset the head of the family at this time.

As expected, that Miss Ye will become the matriarch of the Xie family, a fact that Xie An clearly understood.

When Xie Nanzhou reached the door, he was still holding Liu Yin's hand.

"Don't you want me to go back?" Liu Yin looked at the man with a smile, her eyes full of meaning.

She had always thought that men were very patient.

"No." Xie Nanzhou shook his head in denial, his tone somewhat stiff, and slowly loosened his grip on her hand.

Xie Nanzhou was about to pull his hand away when Liu Yin gripped it tightly. "Let's go."

The door was pushed open, and Xie Nanzhou followed Liu Yin into the room.

"Don't you come to see me every night? Well, you can skip that from now on."

Upon hearing this, the man paused, and said in a low voice, "You already know."

Although he had only come to transfer some internal energy to Liu Yin the previous times and hadn't done anything else, Xie Nanzhou still inexplicably felt a little embarrassed.

Perhaps it's because what he did was different from how he acted in front of Liuyin.

In front of Liu Yin, Xie Nanzhou presented himself as a gentleman, gentle and considerate, but at that time, he couldn't look at her directly.

So I can only come and check on things at night.

"I know," Liu Yin replied casually, then asked, "Why didn't you come to see me during the day?"

"I'm afraid you won't like it." If you don't like it, you'll leave.

At that time, they had no relationship whatsoever, and he had no right to stop Liuyin from leaving. Moreover, her father was about to arrive in Yuncheng.

He was cautious because he liked her. Xie Nanzhou was afraid that Liu Yin would one day discover his true colors.

He was anything but gentle; the rare instance of kindness he showed was towards Liuyin.

As for the others, he never paid them any attention. Whether they lived or died was none of his concern.
