I've considered all the issues that Man Jiao'er has thought of, which is why I stayed. If Yue Jiao were just a lone, insignificant demon, I probably would have run away long ago.
"No matter who is behind him, justice will prevail. If you do not wish to marry him, how can he force you to? I do not think the Sun and Moon Lord is an unreasonable person."
Man Jiao'er was still a little worried and lowered her head with a wry smile, "There are many times in this world that there is no justice; justice always belongs to the powerful."
I didn't know how to comfort Manjiao'er. "I've heard that the Abyss used to be a chaotic mess of demons with no laws. But look at the Abyss now, with its numerous cities and strict laws. Who do you think has benefited from this?"
“Of course, it’s the best…” Man Jiao’er stopped mid-sentence, a bright smile playing on her lips. “Young master, I understand.”
Manjiao'er's bright smile shocked me; I never knew Manjiao'er's smile could be so warm and sunny, as if it warmed my heart.
"Does the young master have a solution?"
Let's wait and see.
"But..." Man Jiao'er thought for a moment and still asked with concern, "Wouldn't this put us in a too passive position?"
"It's alright, I've already sent my friend to check on the situation." I reassured him gently. Before I returned to the city lord's mansion, I had sent Feng Su to follow Yue Jiao to investigate the situation. As an ancient divine beast, the phoenix, Feng Su's flying speed was unmatched.
“I see.” Man Jiao’er nodded.
"Alright, I'll be going now. Miss Man, please don't do anything foolish again." I stood up and patted my clothes.
"I'll see you off, young master." Man Jiao'er stood up to see him off.
When I reached the entrance of Man Jiao'er's courtyard, I stopped. "Miss Man, you should go back first. I see you haven't fully recovered yet."
"Okay." Man Jiao'er nodded, no longer insisting.
I nodded in acknowledgment and followed Xiao Gua away. I had only taken a few steps when I heard Man Jiao'er call out to me, "Young Master."
"What's wrong?" I turned around, and Man Jiao'er ran up to me, her hair a little messy and panting, and said, "I may not be able to love you right now, I..."
I smiled and said, "It's alright, actually I also have a favor to ask."
"Hmm?" Man Jiao'er tilted her head, her eyes filled with curiosity.
I think we should call off our engagement.
Man Jiao'er stared wide-eyed in surprise, "Why?"
I think Man Jiao'er probably wondered why anyone would voluntarily give up their marriage. Man Jiao'er's beauty goes without saying; any man who sees her would fall in love with her. Moreover, she has money and status. Marrying Man Jiao'er would be the ultimate life win. Why would anyone voluntarily give her up?
"I have someone I like," I replied with a wink and a smile.
“In that case, the person who can win the young master’s favor must be extraordinary. I would really like to get to know them if I have the chance.” Man Jiao’er looked knowing, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.
"He is really good." Thinking of You, my eyes filled with pink bubbles, my heart was filled with sweetness, and I couldn't help but feel happy.
"I will explain to my father, thank you, young master." Seeing my somewhat infatuated look, Man Jiao'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, then bowed solemnly to me to express her gratitude.
I hurriedly helped Man Jiao'er up, feeling ashamed to accept such kindness. If Man Jiao'er knew my true identity, she probably wouldn't be so polite. She would probably turn on me immediately and consider it a favor not to take me to see the Sun and Moon Lord. Yue Jiao only wants Man Jiao'er, but if she guesses my identity, the entire Man clan will probably be implicated and unable to escape their fate.
