"How about I go find him for you? I can bring him here and be the magpie that connects the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?" Cheng Huaijin said.
"Come on! You and your sweetheart are like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, you need magpies! You're cursing me!" Gu Xin angrily slapped Cheng Huaijin.
After saying that, I felt that what I said seemed to make no mistake.
"Brother, I didn't mean it, really, I absolutely didn't mean to hurt you," Gu Xin said, sounding aggrieved.
"If it wasn't intentional, then it was definitely deliberate," Cheng Huaijin said sadly.
"I didn't!" Gu Xin was almost ready to raise her hand and swear, but then she realized that Cheng Huaijin was faking it, and she was so angry that she wanted to hit him again.
"Alright, alright, I'm fine." Cheng Huaijin let Gu Xin hit him a couple of times, feeling a little more relaxed. "My godfather once said that not everyone can end up with the person they love. Love is all about fate. The person I end up holding hands with for life is definitely my destined one."
"You're really not fixated on my sister anymore?" Gu Xin asked in surprise.
"I'm not attached anymore. After your and my godfather's diligent brainwashing, I think I can let go, really. Sister Niannian is smart, beautiful, and generous, and she's also interesting and very likable. Mutual affection is the icing on the cake, but one-sided, persistent affection can easily lead to trouble. In the future, I'll definitely be in the west, and we'll be in the east and west, destined not to be together. Honestly, I can't abandon my godfather, return to the Great Zhou, and be attached to someone else's wife," Cheng Huaijin said seriously.
"Brother, then I'll wait for you to find me a sister-in-law. From the east, west, south, or north, as long as you like her, except for my sister, I'll acknowledge her as my sister-in-law," Gu Xin said with a smile.
“I’m not thinking about Sister Niannian anymore, no need to remind me.” Cheng Huaijin glared at Gu Xin, then continued, “Actually, I’ve never really liked girls from the West. It’s not that they’re bad, but their looks aren’t what I’m looking for. If it were a girl from the East, she’d probably give up everything to follow me, which is hard to find. So, your brother might end up living alone for the rest of his life. But, with Yun-ge’er here, I’ll raise him well. After the war, I’ll go to Da Zhou and bring Yun-ge’er here. He grew up here, so he’ll definitely like the girls here. Then, I can raise my son, find him a wife, and then raise my grandchildren. I won’t be lonely!”
“Brother, you sound like an old man. You’re only eighteen, not even twenty yet, and you haven’t even come of age. You can’t be like this,” Gu Xin advised.
"We'll talk about the future later! Okay, go to sleep. I'll go pick up my sister's husband in a couple of days so we can celebrate her birthday together!" Cheng Huaijin patted Gu Xin's head.
Gu Xin smiled and nodded.
The brother and sister then went back to their rooms to rest.
...
In Fog Cloud City, Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu settled down. They hadn't seen the messenger eagle Ali for nearly half a month and guessed that something must have happened on the side of the Flowing Sand Kingdom's ruler. Peng Ze's signal flare had prompted them to attack Fog Cloud City, and now that they had captured it, they started talking about it.
In the end, the two agreed that Lu Zheng would go directly from Misty Cloud City to Giant Stone City, while Bai Er and Bai Shi would return to Flowing Sand Royal City to check the situation. Xue Qianyu would stay in Misty Cloud City and wait for news from Lu Zheng.
