"Little Yan'er, your coming-of-age ceremony is in six months," the antique sipped his tea, saying this seemingly unintentionally.
Bei Yan was taken aback. Oh right, he had been so engrossed in learning how to refine pills that he had forgotten about it.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Gu Dong glared at Bei Yan with a look of exasperation. What's wrong with this little brat?
"You know what your emperor uncle is thinking. Have you and Junlin figured out how to deal with it?"
"Don't come crying to me for help when an imperial decree for your arranged marriage comes down. You must know that imperial orders are hard to disobey, and even I won't be able to handle the situation then."
Bei Yan understood immediately; so this was what Gu Tou was worried about. He waved his hand and said...
"It's alright, Master. You don't need to worry about this. Junlin is already making preparations. He will come to propose marriage when I come of age."
The antique man raised his eyebrows, finally feeling much more at ease. "That's very good."
King is quite satisfied with himself and doesn't want to change people.
"Junior Sister, does that mean you'll be getting married in another six months?" Shangguan Shu asked, leaning closer, his face gleaming with gossip.
Shangguan Mu also turned to look at Bei Yan, his fox-like eyes filled with inquiry and a hint of excitement.
Bei Yan nodded; it seemed to make sense. Although Qianchen Kingdom didn't have a rule that marriage had to happen immediately after a marriage proposal,
But he had waited a full eighteen years for King's Landing, so of course he couldn't wait to get the marriage done, then wipe himself clean and complete his mission.
Besides, the system said that as long as you pounce on Junlin, his memories will be restored. Isn't restoring his memories appealing?
"Yay! Junior Sister is getting married!" Shangguan Shu jumped up excitedly, then put his arm around Bei Yan's shoulder.
"Don't worry, junior sister, your senior brother will definitely add dozens of loads of dowry for you, so you can have a grand wedding!"
"Second Brother will also add several dozen loads of dowry for you!" Shangguan Mu chimed in, not to be outdone.
Bei Yan blinked, a warm feeling flowing through his heart, and said with a grin, "Then I'll thank you both for your kindness."
Shangguan Shu patted his chest and said cheerfully, "No need to thank me, it's nothing."
“That’s right, junior sisters are meant to be pampered.” Shangguan Mujun smiled.
Gu Dong stood up, smoothed his sleeves, and said, "Alright, alright, you two hurry up and go cultivate. Xiao Yan'er, you also hurry back to Thousand Medicine Peak to learn how to refine pills. You can't stop halfway."
Although the two brothers were somewhat reluctant, they obediently went to cultivate. Bei Yan also bid farewell and returned to Thousand Medicine Peak to continue her efforts toward her grand plan of becoming a rich woman.
As time passed, Bei Yan's alchemy skills improved day by day, and the day he was to graduate was drawing ever closer.
That day, after Bei Yan finished refining a mid-grade pill for Bai Miaoyao, he was stopped by several senior sisters from Qianyao Peak as soon as he stepped out of the alchemy room.
"Junior Sister, have you heard? A wealthy merchant has recently risen to prominence in our Qianchen Kingdom. He's not only rich and powerful, but I also hear he's incredibly handsome and dashing."
As she spoke, the senior sister looked like a lovesick fool, almost drooling.
Bei Yan raised an eyebrow, somewhat unconcerned. After all, how could anyone be more handsome than her Jun Lin?
"Not only that, I also heard that he came from the Immortal Realm. My God, the Immortal Realm! That's the land of gods and immortals. How powerful must that be? I can't even imagine it."
Another senior female student added that he also had the look of a complete pervert.
