Of course, Ning Wan was also a little curious.
If she remembered correctly, in the original novel, Chen Jinggu went to find his master as soon as he reached the stage of Dan formation to discuss the cancellation of the engagement with him.
Naturally, there was no possibility of canceling the engagement, and afterwards, Shen Jinggu completely exposed his dislike for 'Ning Wan'.
Ning Wan was like a cat that had fallen into the water, looking warily at Chen Jinggu who was standing on the shore, her tail swaying slightly behind her, and her eyes showing her wariness of Chen Jinggu.
Although these words were clearly words of comfort, they had other meanings when they fell into Ning Wan's ears.
"What if I can never break through?"
Ning Wan seemed to be hurt by Chen Jinggu's answer, and was shrouded in a feeling of pessimism.
"I started trying to guide Qi into my body when I was three years old, and it wasn't until I was seven that I barely grasped the basics. Later, I relied on taking those elixirs to barely make the leap from an ordinary person to the current third level of Qi Refining."
"But it's been more than ten years since my last breakthrough, and even I have given up hope."
"Brother, do you really think I can break through?"
"You clearly said you would protect me. Was this all a joke?"
And Shen Jinggu only felt a dull pain in his heart, and the abyss that should have been buried deep in his heart was being infinitely magnified.
He wanted to act generous, but he couldn't put it into practice when it came to Ning Wan.
It was she who made the engagement and she chose the path herself. He had given her several chances, and it was she who firmly chose him time and time again.
So even if she regretted it later, he would not obediently follow her arrangements and leave her, but would cling to her until death.
But if she had been more sober, she would have known that this was not the right time to discuss this matter. If his feelings for her were not innocent, this behavior would undoubtedly be annoying.
Chen Jinggu sighed inwardly, and thought again of the small notes in the scrolls. Clearly, there were some good moves in those unsightly scrolls, so why did his fiancée choose the most extreme ones?
The wounds on Chen Jinggu's body caused by the thunder had not been completely healed. After listening to Ning Wan's accusations, he moved his feet slightly, wanting to get closer to Ning Wan, but his steps were too big and pulled the wound on his back.
Shen Jinggu had no time to worry and stretched out his hand to hold Ning Wan.
He had wanted to have a good talk with her, but Ning Wan wasn't buying it. She took several steps back, seemingly acting unreasonable. Her tone was already questioning, and she said with a hurt look on her face, "Brother, are you agreeing by not saying anything?"
"Do you really want to break off the engagement with me?"
Xiao Qi, who was preparing to see a big reversal, felt that the scene before him was beyond his expectations: ... I have to say, the host has overacted and used too much force.
But how can it remind the host in a tactful way?
Afterwards, Xiaoqi's idea was confirmed.
Chen Jinggu grabbed a handful of air with his bare hands. His fingers froze slightly, but he still pulled it back. Looking at the trembling calves under the skirt, his eyes dimmed slightly. "Ning Wan."
Ning Wan was suddenly called by her name, and she didn't know if she was too nervous, but she almost subconsciously said, "I'm here."
In fact, there was only one reason why she retreated, and that was because she was scared.
Chen Jinggu approached her without saying hello, but she didn't have the courage to let him succeed. She was afraid that the man would strangle her neck the next moment, put his hand in her ear, and say sinisterly: So what? Don't forget, you are just a waste at the third level of Qi Refining. The marriage contract with you is only for the sake of the master. Otherwise, do you think you are worthy of it?
Chen Jinggu's eyes were fixed on Ning Wan, who lowered her head. After a moment of silence, he spoke lightly, "Stop acting..."
Those three cold, emotionless words seemed to have some amazing magical power, causing Ning Wan to raise her eyes instantly.
The pressure from Chen Jinggu was faintly emanating from his body. Although Ning Wan did not feel any discomfort, she found that she could no longer move her feet at all.
She stood there like a wooden stake, looking at Shen Jinggu who was approaching her step by step, her throat swallowed slightly, "Senior brother, what are you talking about? Junior sister doesn't understand."
"I didn't act, it was my senior brother who wanted to..."
"I have never thought about canceling the engagement, you don't need to worry so much." Chen Jinggu reached out his hand again, gently stroking the corner of her eye, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness.
"I'll find a way to deal with the realm issue."
"And I have already discussed our wedding date with Master, which is three years from now."
"I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but now it seems I have to tell you."
Three years is not a long time for a monk, and it also gives him more time to prepare the details.
He did think about hiding it from Ning Wan first, but he didn't expect such a turn of events to happen.
"Wanwan, I am attracted to you."
"So don't misunderstand me anymore, okay?"
Chen Jinggu lowered his posture again and handed the initiative to Ning Wan.
But what he didn't know was that his aura at this moment not only did not seem to be lowering his posture, but instead seemed to be notifying Ning Wan, leaving her no chance to refuse.

Ning Wan looked at her hand, which was clasped with Chen Jinggu's, and she wanted to pull it out, but she actually held it tightly. "Since Senior Brother has said so, Junior Sister will believe you this time."
"If you give up on me, don't blame me for listening to you and looking for someone else."
