Just as the melodious sound of the piano filled the mountains, two fellow apprentices, Wang Suizhi and Zeng Yi, were drinking and reminiscing in a pavilion on the side.

Passing through the dense trees and the pond, they could see two people playing the piano facing each other beside the lotus pond.

Wang Suizhi's hands were filled with the wine in his glass. He was shocked and angry and said, "Shameless guy! How dare he...how dare he treat Master like this!"

Zeng Yi used his broken hand to hold the wine pot and poured a glass for his senior brother. He said calmly, "Senior brother, drink."

Wang Suizhi slammed the wine glass heavily on the table: "This is so unbearable, are you angry after seeing it?"

Zeng Yi shook his head and said calmly, "If I didn't know their past, I might be as angry as you. But Master dared to risk the world's condemnation in order to change Su Yishui's fate. Do you think it was just because of the relationship between master and disciple?"

Wang Suizhi was stunned by the question, and Zeng Yi spoke again: "We claim to be good disciples of our master. When our master was beaten to death, it was only Su Yishui, the traitor, who sacrificed his own cultivation for our master and bought her a glimmer of hope. If you look at it from this point of view, we are unworthy of being our master's disciples!"

Wang Suizhi's old face slightly blushed at what he said. At this time, Zeng Yi looked at the man playing the zither, who was looking down at the woman with a sweet smile, and his eyes were so focused that he couldn't help but sigh and said, "So, Master, just need to be happy in this life. We, her disciples, should not give her instructions."

Wang Suizhi was still unwilling to accept this, and just shook his head and sighed, "I am worried that Su Yishui has lost his memory of his master and has become the carefree person he was when he first entered the sect. What if he gets distracted and harms the master?"

This is actually what Zeng Yi was most worried about, otherwise he would not have secretly left with his master.

But now it seems that this worry is unnecessary. Although Su Yishui has lost his memory, his love for his master has not diminished in the slightest.

The bond between the two people cannot be severed by a soul-cleansing talisman, so Zeng Yi is just taking things one step at a time.

The close relationship between the two was also seen by Qiao Lian and the carpenter couple.

Although they were born in the countryside, they were not fools. They had not come to Xishan before and could not see the daily life of the master and apprentice, but now they were aware that the master and apprentice were... too clingy.

The couple would not just let things develop naturally like Zeng Yi did.

It is understandable that the daughter is young and is fascinated by such a handsome immortal. After all, she is a little girl and has little experience. But what does the immortal mean? They can't just watch their daughter being bullied and be irresponsible!

So the couple discussed it privately and decided to have a frank talk with Master Su about their daughter's marriage problem.

Before asking the immortal, the couple first called their daughter to ask her opinion.

Ran Ran felt that the situation between her and Su Yishui was too complicated. Telling it to her adoptive parents would only add to their troubles, so she could only play it safe and said, "Mom, you and Dad are overthinking. Master and I...are not what you think."

Qiao Lian glared at him and said, "That's not the case. I saw you and Su Yishui walking hand in hand by the pond. Su Yishui even picked up leaves from the tree above your head. How can a master and disciple behave like this?"

After hearing that Qiaolian had only seen these, Ran Ran heaved a sigh of relief: "I thought Mom saw something... Isn't this normal? The master is also so kind to other disciples... Mom, I have to go practice."

Ran Ran didn't want to say much, just said that he was going to the back mountain to practice martial arts, and ran away in a flash.

Qiao Lian felt that her daughter's words were not right. After hearing what she said, her daughter actually breathed a sigh of relief. Could it be that the two of them had something even more unacceptable going on in private?

She felt that her daughter was young and ignorant, and was being taken advantage of without realizing it.

So the couple simply blocked Su Yishui in the study. After chatting for a long time, the couple looked at each other, mustered their courage, and told Su Yishui seriously that they wanted to take their daughter down the mountain.

Su Yishui originally asked the couple to come to Xishan because Ranran had been worried about the safety of his adoptive parents. After all, monsters were rampant and the two of them had been living in seclusion, which was not very safe.

But unexpectedly, the couple did not appreciate it and suddenly wanted to take Xue Ranran away.

Su Yishui refused without even thinking.

What a joke! They are Ranran's adoptive parents, so they can make decisions on their own? Xue Ranran was born by him. To be precise, he is Ranran's adoptive parent. How can this country couple have the right to make the decision?

Qiao Lian also guessed that Su Yishui would not let go easily, so she immediately discussed the conditions: "Master, I have seen these days that you have taken very good care of my daughter...but my daughter is older now, you have to avoid suspicion. Even if you really like my daughter, it is not impossible for you to get married. But my daughter is from a respectable family. If you are interested, you have to find a matchmaker to propose marriage first, and then see what my family thinks!"

Su Yishui now recalled what the couple had just said. At first he thought it was just idle chatter, but now every word sounded to have a deeper meaning.

For example, Qiao Lian asked him if he had any shops or properties anywhere else besides Xishan, in order to find out his financial situation.

The carpenter asked him how old he was this year, how many times he got up at night, and whether he had frequent urination or kidney deficiency. He was worried that he was too old and weak to give happiness to their daughter.

In addition, Qiao Lian was particularly concerned about whether he had been married before, for she was worried that Ran Ran would accidentally become a concubine.

The couple found out everything before they offered to arrange a marriage for their adopted daughter. They were very smart and planned carefully for their daughter.

"She came to Xishan and became my disciple. What she sought was immortality, which has nothing to do with what you said." Su Yishui replied coldly.

Qiao Lian found that this Taoist priest Su seemed to be much colder towards them than before. Could it be that he felt he had nothing to fear because he had deceived their innocent daughter with sweet words?

Thinking of this, Qiao Lian's fierceness surged up again, and she spoke impolitely: "Master Su, you are not the ideal son-in-law in our minds. Ran Ran is now in her prime, and it would be most appropriate for her to find a man of similar age. And you... although you look like an immortal and look young, you are too old. Our daughter is not very experienced, and I am afraid she can't be as immortal as you. So if you don't mind, you should explain it to our daughter. Although my husband and I are not as well-off as you, we are not the kind of people who want to sell our daughter to others as a concubine. We will take our daughter down the mountain tomorrow, and we don't want to trouble you to teach her!"

This is totally the style of a country woman. After her marriage failed, she actually hinted at his old age and frailty?

According to Su Yishui's temper, he would have gotten up and left immediately. But somehow, his words changed in tone when they came to his lips: "...Did Ranran ask you to come and propose marriage?"

Qiao Lian thought about it and felt that she should show that the family of three was united, so she said, "Of course that's what Ran Ran meant. She has liked watching other families get married since she was a child. Now that she is of the right age, she naturally wants to be a legitimate wife!"

It turned out that Xue Ranran couldn't bear it anymore and begged her parents to propose to him - Su Yishui thought so in his heart, and suddenly felt much more comfortable.

Although she kept saying that she had no attachment to Xishan, wasn't she secretly eager to get married?

In fact, before this, he had never intended to marry a fellow practitioner.

At first, he got engaged to Wen Hongshan to fulfill his mother's wish for him to get married. Later, the marriage was ruined, but he did not feel any regrets in his heart, and he never wanted to add any burden to his side since then.

He had expected Xue Ranran to be so eager to marry him. After all, the admiration in the little girl's eyes was unmistakable, she must like him...

Considering that she is relatively well-behaved now and not as annoying as she was in her previous life, and that they are somewhat physically related, and considering her reputation, having a wedding ceremony with her... is not impossible to consider.

After all, she has a bad nature. Although she has improved a lot in this life, if no one is watching over her, her nature will be out of control.

There are many things that a master cannot control, such as endlessly chatting with a handsome junior fellow apprentice, smiling at a man you don't know well, packing up and leaving Xishan at the slightest disagreement, etc. If you marry him, you can change these bad habits.

Thinking about it this way, there are many advantages to marrying her.

Anyway, it doesn't matter whether he marries a Taoist partner or not. There is no use leaving this position vacant. He might as well marry her so that he can control her in the future with justification.

Su Yishui weighed the pros and cons quickly, and finally said, "Do you want me to find a matchmaker to propose marriage? I wonder if my senior brother Zeng Yi is willing? He has been with you two for some time, and I believe you can trust him to act as a matchmaker."

Qiao Lian is most worried about her daughter's innocence, and that the damned Immortal Su has found her weakness. So when she came to negotiate today, although her voice was loud, it was also a bit strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

She had just mocked Su Yishui for being old and frail, but he looked no more than nineteen years old, with a handsome face, thick eyebrows and a handsome nose. Even at her age, she couldn't help but want to look at him a few more times.

Moreover, Su Yishui's financial resources were so strong that he owned five or six shops in the capital alone and countless industries elsewhere. He was truly a hidden tycoon.

Although his daughter was beautiful, she was just a poor country girl. It was really too high for her to marry a capable immortal like Su Yishui.

If she hadn't been worried that her daughter was immature and had been too close to him too early, Qiao Lian would not have been so shameless as to force him to marry her even if she had to wear three layers of raw pig skin.

She never expected that Su Yishui would be so willing to give in and readily agree to find a matchmaker to propose marriage.

The couple heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on their armchairs. When Qiao Lian recovered from the breath, she looked at Su Yishui again, and saw the look in her eyes as if she was looking at her son-in-law. Such a good son-in-law was really satisfactory in every way!

Su Yishui even waved his hand and wrote a letter of engagement to the couple on the spot as a certificate. As for the three letters and six engagements, none of them would be missing in the future.

After the deal was settled, the couple happily went to look for their daughter.

Ran Ran was practicing Qi cultivation in the lotus pond. Her slender toes lightly touched the lotus petals, like a dragonfly skimming the water, nourishing herself in the pond.

But when he heard his mother happily saying by the pool that they had already negotiated the marriage with Immortal Su, Ranran's breath sank, and he fell into the pool with a plop.

When she emerged from the lotus pond, she held the green lotus leaves on her head, wiped her wet face, and cried out, "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I say I wanted to marry Su Yishui?"

Qiao Lian thought her daughter was shy because of her young age, so she said happily, "The Immortal Su agreed immediately. Not only did he ask Mr. Zeng to be the matchmaker, he also wrote down her birth date on the spot and gave us a letter of intent to marry her. This is no joke!"

Ran Ran knew that signing the engagement letter was no joke. But Su Yishui could do this...wasn't it all because of the pressure from Qiao Lian and her husband?

She couldn't explain it clearly to her parents who were so happy, so she could only go back, change into dry clothes, and then go to ask Su Yishui what he was thinking and why he had so rashly agreed to the request of Qiao Lian and her husband.

Su Yishui was preparing medicine in the alchemy room. When he saw Ranran coming over, he just glanced at her and continued preparing the medicine.

"My parents don't know about our complicated situation. You don't have to take everything they say to heart. I will explain it to them. Your letter of engagement doesn't count."

After hearing this, Su Yishui slowly put down the medicine bottle in his hand, raised his head and said, "You are indeed not young anymore. If you want to get married, just tell me directly. Since I kissed you, I naturally have to be responsible for you. They are your adoptive parents, and I am now your master. We are all your elders. It is reasonable for them to discuss your marriage. Since it has been decided, why not make it count?"

Ran Ran stared with her eyes wide open, almost being confused by Su Yishui's logic.

Perhaps her glaring expression was somewhat adorable, Su Yishui touched her nose with the medicine bottle expressionlessly: "Although cultivators are not particular about small matters, there is still some skin-to-skin relationship between you and me, so it is reasonable for your parents to let me marry you."

Ranran is very accommodating to her willful master most of the time.

However, she had a stubborn belief in this matter of marriage: "Marriage is a matter of love between a man and a woman, promising each other a long-lasting love, but you have completely forgotten the past and only remember the bad things I did in my previous life. I am afraid that even if you have a little affection for me now, it is just the affection that comes from being together for a long time. I don't want you to be so tolerant. You said that the life span of cultivators is much longer than that of ordinary people. If we regret it in the future, should we divorce or kill each other to prove our truth? I don't want to be a grudge with you... I will tear up the engagement letter, and my parents will never say such nonsense to you again!"

After saying this, Ran Ran turned around and tried to leave, but Su Yishui grabbed her arm and said, "Are you saying that you don't like me, and that all your previous kindness to me was just a show?"

When asking this question, Su Yishui's eyebrows were filled with anger, thinking that she had been reborn, but she was still playing around in the world like this! If she didn't like him, why could she talk and laugh with him, play the zither, and get along intimately with him?

Ran Ran really used up all the energy in his Dantian to hold back a mouthful of blood: "It's not that I don't like you, it's that you don't like me! If you really like me, why can't you remember me?"

After saying that, Ran Ran ran out sadly. Jiu Laoxian once said that if the love is deep, the soul-cleansing talisman will automatically dissolve.

However, Su Yishui still hasn't thought about their past, which can only mean that although he likes Xue Ranran a little, this love is not as deep as his love for Mu Qingge.

If this is the case, why bother with the marriage certificate? Ran Ran doesn't want to become a couple with Su Yishui, so it's better not to get married.

But she ran away like this, leaving Su Yishui alone and feeling angry.

He originally did not have a strong desire to get married, but he felt that after all, he had kissed Xue Ranran, and she was now a girl with a clean background. If his parents were to pressure him to take responsibility, he would not be able to refuse as a man.

Moreover, no matter whether she was his disciple or his future wife, they all had to learn from him. Apart from the marriage certificate, nothing else had changed.

But he never expected that this damn girl would take his failure to recover his memory as his original sin. Is it like what Jiu Laoxian said, he has to die for her again?

If that's the case, her name in the world of cultivation can be determined from then on, and she might as well be called "Wang Men Gua"!

Su Yishui originally had a nonchalant attitude towards this marriage. However, he did not expect that he would become so enthusiastic that he became a little stubborn.

If she doesn't want to marry him, who else does she want to marry? He won't allow her to harm others again!

The engagement letter was not torn up in the end. Su Yishui found Qiaolian and her husband first and said that Ranran was still young and playful, and if her proposal for marriage did not count, he would follow her wishes, but the engagement letter would always be valid for him, and he would wait until Ranran figured it out, and asked the couple to keep it.

If Ranran wants to marry someone else in the future...it's not impossible, but she has to terminate the engagement with him first.

Su Yishui's tolerance and generosity once again won the favor of Mr. and Mrs. Qiao Lian.

Afterwards, Ran Ran did as Su Xian Chang said, and she was ignorant and insisted on canceling the engagement. Qiao Lian and her husband also spoiled their child since childhood. Originally, they forced their daughter to get married because they were worried that their daughter would suffer as a girl.

But now that my daughter doesn't want to get married, that's another matter. Although Immortal Su is indeed a rare talent, with both ability and looks, he is old after all, and I don't know if he is just a beautiful exterior with rotten inside.

I always have to wait until my daughter has figured things out before I can get her married.

Afterwards, Ranran carefully told Su Yishui that her parents were unwilling to give her a marriage proposal, but he didn't need to worry because she would definitely not use the proposal proposal to do anything bad.

Su Yishui glanced at her calmly and said, "There are two copies of the engagement letter, and your parents have signed it with their fingerprints. If you regret marrying someone else, you have to bring that man to me and let me take a look!"

Su Yishui's voice was not loud when he said this, but Ran Ran always felt that there was a murderous intent in his words, as if he was going to kill two people at a time.

Ran Ran asked cautiously: "What happens after you take a look?"

Su Yishui didn't expect that she would actually continue the conversation. Could it be that there really was a man she wanted to bring to him? So he couldn't help but look at her coldly: "Xue Ranran, you can bring him here and try."

Su Yishui rarely called her by her full name, so Ran Ran could certainly hear the thunder in his words. She couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart, and she pulled his sleeve and said, "I don't want to marry anyone else except you..."

After hearing this, Su Yishui couldn't help but let down his anger. At the same time, he cursed in his heart: She didn't want to get married but flirted with him. She really didn't change her habits from her previous life. If he was still a young man of sixteen or seventeen, wouldn't he be toyed with by her and lose his mind? From this, it can be seen that he was deceived by her twenty years ago, which was also excusable. After all, the witch at that time was very powerful and calculated the young and ignorant him..."

As he was thinking this, Ran Ran whispered again: "I hope you remember that I don't want you to die for me. If you really do that, how can I live alone? But I always hope that you can clearly understand why you married me, and I also know why I married you, so that we will not become a pair of resentful couples."

Su Yishui thought Ranran's idea was too naive, but he finally relaxed his stiff waist, let Ranran lean on his shoulder and said: "You are too young, but you don't know that most of the couples who are at odds with each other in the world were once deeply in love, but ended up being at odds with each other. So the reason why couples become at odds is not that they didn't think clearly at the beginning, but that they can't stand the passage of time."

Ran Ran blinked and whispered, "So, if we cultivators become immortal couples, won't we have to face endless time and probably end up with hatred?"

Su Yishui thought for a moment and said seriously, "If I were like what your father worries about, with back pain and kidney weakness, and getting up too often at night, I would probably be resentful."

Um……

Ranran blinked her eyes. Although she was a talented girl, she really didn't understand what her master meant by his serious words.

Seeing that she didn't seem to understand, Su Yishui simply leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.

Two blushes suddenly appeared on Ran Ran's fair face. She looked at Su Yishui in amazement, then stood up, kicked the traitor from her previous life in anger, and ran out.

She would never believe her ears. A serious man like Su Yishui could actually say such indecent words.

But that night, Xue Ranran tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. When she finally fell asleep, she dreamed that she was wearing a red dress and a red veil, and was led by a man into a wedding room with red candles.

Ran Ran blushed and her heart beat fast as she thought about what happened after the candle went out in her dream. However, the dream was tiring and long, and someone whispered in her ear, "What if you get resentful if I don't sell some of my energy?"

When he woke up in the morning, he arched his quilt and closed his eyes to think about it secretly.

As a result, Qiu Xier urged her to get up and eat breakfast. When she saw Ran Ran's rosy face from the window, she smiled and joked, "Junior sister, why are you still lying in bed? Did you have a dream about sex?"

Ran Ran threw a pillow over, and at the same time, she felt inexplicably flustered - she was showing it so obviously? What if Su Yishui saw it? What should she do?
