For some reason, she always felt that Ye Xiu's question was not asked casually, but seemed to come from someone who knew something.

The room had been cleaned and the incense burner was emitting a faint fragrance, covering up all the smells. Duan Qingxi washed up casually and got up to open the door.

Surprisingly, Ye Xiu was actually still waiting outside the door.

Duan Qingxi was suddenly embarrassed. To be honest, she really didn't know what to say at this time.

"night……"

Ye Xiu just glanced at her, and then his eyes became dim, as if he was very lost.

His behavior made Duan Qingxi even more embarrassed.

She cleared her throat and said quickly, "Um... do you want to come in and sit down?"

Ye Xiu shook his head and said, "No need. Since you... are already someone else's wife, I shouldn't be so rude as to go in. I just came here to confirm that Miss Eleven... seems to be really not interested in me anymore."

Duan Qingxi:……!!!

What, what's going on?!

Just by taking a look, he knew what happened? !

Duan Qingxi even tried to sniff himself before opening the door, but he didn't smell anything at all.

As if he had read Duan Qingxi's mind, Ye Xiu explained, "I don't mean to offend you, young lady, but I forgot to tell you that in Butterfly Valley, if two people plan to become husband and wife, they must take a drop of blood and place it in a bottle. Last night... your blood suddenly separated from mine and quickly disappeared. It seems... you're already married to someone else."

Duan Qingxi was so embarrassed. Wasn't this just like checking into a hotel with someone and getting seen?!

Ye Xiu added, "However, seeing that the young lady was safe and sound this morning, it seems that the young lady was not lying before. You are indeed married, and you and that person are indeed truly in love. In this case... I dare not force it."

Duan Qingxi was so embarrassed that she wanted to burrow into the ground. She really didn't dare to speak at this moment.

She couldn't help but wonder if many people knew about this...

Ye Xiu seemed to have seen through her thoughts again, and said, "But don't worry, young lady. I am the only one who knows about this."

Duan Qingxi really breathed a sigh of relief, but after this relief, he found it even more difficult to face Ye Xiu.

It wasn't that she felt sorry for him. After all, she and Helian Sheng were husband and wife, and she didn't mean to do what happened last night. She just couldn't control herself for some reason.

Ye Xiu looked at her for a long time, then asked, "Can you tell me who that person is?"

Duan Qingxi opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. After all, she didn't understand why Ye Xiu suddenly asked this.

Although it was clear that there was no ill intention, Duan Qingxi didn't dare to take the risk, "I..."

Ye Xiu explained, "This matter cannot be known to others, but now everyone knows that you are marrying me, and the wedding will be held tomorrow. If I want to change the person, I must explain it clearly to everyone, so you have to tell me who that person is, so that I can arrange it for you..."

When Duan Qingxi was hesitating, Jiusheng came over and said, "It's me."

Ye Xiu turned his head abruptly, and when he met Jiu Sheng's gaze, he was stunned for a moment, "Is it you?"

But soon, he seemed relieved, lowered his head and smiled: "I knew it should be you, after all..."

Ye Xiu didn’t say anything more, but Jiu Sheng seemed to understand what he meant.

He said, "I didn't know the person you brought back was her. I wanted to find a chance to explain it to you, but I didn't expect you to come here on your own."

Ye Xiu just smiled and said nothing. After glancing at Duan Qingxi, he turned to look at Jiu Sheng and said, "I understand. I'll help you take care of it."

After saying that, he left.

Duan Qingxi was stunned. After Ye Xiu had completely left, she walked over to Jiu Sheng and asked, "What on earth is going on? Weren't you...rescued by the people from Butterfly Valley like me?"

Jiu Sheng said, "I rescued him, but Xiu and I have known each other for a long time. I have never concealed anything about you, so he had always heard of you. He only just realized it was you, so he wasn't angry."

Duan Qingxi nodded subconsciously, then froze for a moment before turning to look at him and asking, "You've always known about me? What do you mean?"

Jiu Sheng didn't intend to explain too much to her. He said, "Rescuing us is risky, so some things are inconvenient to discuss here. Your cultivation... after we leave here, I will find a way for you. The most important thing for us now is to leave here."

Duan Qingxi asked: "Then what should we do to leave here?"

Jiu Sheng turned to look at her. Even through the mask, Duan Qingxi could still see his ill intentions.

She frowned, not wanting to talk, and took a step back, but unexpectedly the man took a step closer to her.

The two of them kept going back and forth like this for a while. Duan Qingxi suddenly felt bored and stopped in his tracks, saying unhappily, "What do you want to do?"

Jiu Sheng didn't say anything, just smiled, then held her hand, and with a flash, the two of them appeared in the room.

Duan Qingxi was startled. She thought this man was going to do something beastly in broad daylight, but he just hugged her waist and asked softly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

As soon as she heard what he was asking, she knew. Duan Qingxi couldn't tell whether she was embarrassed or didn't want to answer the man's question, so she just remained silent.

The man saw this and didn't say anything, but seeing that she looked okay, there shouldn't be any problem.
