That day, Qingyue, along with Lanzhu and several servants, returned from the temple. On their way back, they were ambushed by bandits.
Suddenly, a group of about twenty people appeared in front of the carriage and began to spread out, surrounding it.
When the coachman realized the situation was bad and tried to drive the carriage straight out of the encirclement, a steel wire buried in the road ahead tripped the horse's forelegs, causing the horse to fall forward!
The carriage behind this one, with servants in it, also had its horses tripped by the wire because the situation wasn't stopped in time!
Just as Qingyue and Lanzhu were about to be thrown out of the car, a white-robed youth suddenly jumped out from the side!
The white-robed youth used the heads of the bandits as leverage to speed onto the carriage.
Looking from Qingyue's direction, it was as if an immortal was flying in from afar, and his handsome face made the scene seem like a dream!
"Miss, watch out!"
"Excuse me." That deep, magnetic voice rang in Qingyue's ears as he reached out and embraced her slender waist.
Using the carriage as leverage, they sped away, spinning rapidly from the sky to a point far from the carriage, and finally, as they landed on the ground, their eyes met...
As soon as they saw Xue Pinggui fly over and leave with Qingyue, it was as if they hadn't seen Lanzhu, who was originally in the carriage with them.
Lan Zhu rolled her eyes, cursing under her breath, and used her physical strength to get off the carriage.
That's incredibly slow! I've come to this temple so many times just to wait for Xue Pinggui!
This person is really overthinking things, only making a move now, while I had already prepared for this long ago.
In order to deal with that situation, Lanzhu secretly tried her best to control her emotions and not let them show! She was afraid that she would burst out laughing.
After getting off the carriage, Lan Zhu headed straight for Qing Yue, nimbly dodging the approaching bandits.
The other servants who came along were outnumbered and had already been suppressed.
"Miss, Miss, run! The bandits are coming!"
Lan Zhu ran over to Qing Yue and Xue Pinggui and looked at the two who were still silently staring at each other. She rolled her eyes so hard she could hardly contain herself!
He quickly ran to the two of them, grabbed Qingyue, and acted as if he was fleeing for his life!
"Miss, don't worry, these bandits are nothing special."
After Na Lanzhu arrived, Xue Pinggui seemed to snap out of his daze, broke off his gaze from Qingyue, released his arm around Qingyue's slender waist, and replied with an air of righteousness.
Before Qingyue could reply, she quickly flew towards the bandits and defeated them all in no time.
"Big brother, third brother, retreat quickly! This young hero is not easy to deal with, we must get out of here!"
"Hurry up, we'll go back and call some more men. You just wait!"
"Big brother, wait for me!"
...
The bandit, no match for the white-robed youth, clutched his aching arms and legs and ran quickly in all directions back the way he came, stubbornly insisting that he would come back for revenge.
In the blink of an eye, the bandits who had been lying on the ground vanished without a trace.
"My benefactor, thank you for appearing in time, which saved me from the agony of the train carriage overturning."
Qingyue replied coquettishly to Xue Pinggui, who was walking back, her face still flushed with the embarrassment of their eye contact earlier.
"Miss, you're too kind. I just happened to be passing by and saw bandits running rampant."
"Seeing that the young lady was about to fall off the carriage, I hurriedly pulled her off the carriage first. I apologize for any offense caused in such an emergency."
After saying this, Xue Pinggui clasped his hands together and apologized to Qingyue.
"My benefactor, you only resorted to this desperate measure to save me. I am still extremely grateful. If it weren't for your timely intervention, I don't know what kind of suffering I would have endured with my delicate and frail body! My benefactor, please don't blame yourself."
Qingyue gazed at Xue Pinggui with eyes full of autumn water, her face seemingly carrying a hint of affection.
"Thank you for your understanding, Miss. There's no need for further thanks. It's only right for chivalrous people like us to help those in need! If those bandits hadn't run away so fast, I would have dragged them to the authorities!"
Xue Pinggui's face carried the righteous indignation of a chivalrous knight, and when he spoke of the bandits who had escaped, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"My benefactor, it's just that those bandits were too cunning, which caused you to be careless. However, your martial arts skills are far superior to those bandits!"
Qingyue looked at Xue Pinggui with adoration, praising him endlessly, like a lovestruck woman in love.
Lan Zhu, standing nearby, watched the two perform their lines with great interest, as if watching a play.
The whole scene was exceptionally beautiful, with a handsome young swordsman and a stunningly beautiful woman.
After that day, whenever Qingyue went out, she would always run into Xue Pinggui. As they met more often, the two became quite familiar with each other.
The pink bubbles between the two grew larger and larger. Seeing that the time for the martial arts contest to choose a husband, which he had heard from the streets, was approaching, Xue Pinggui couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
That day, Xue Pinggui took the silver hairpin that he had spent most of his fortune to make and gave it to Qingyue. He took the opportunity to touch Qingyue's face and whisper words of love to her.
"Moon, I love you!" After saying that, he handed the silver hairpin in his hand to Qingyue, held Qingyue's hand tightly, and his face was full of affection.
"Moon, let's get married!" Xue Pinggui said, looking at Qingyue with a slightly dazed expression.
Qingyue snapped out of her daze, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she quietly agreed.
Afterwards, Xue Pinggui took the opportunity to bring Qingyue to Wujiapo. Before bringing Qingyue there, he specially decorated her.
Around the cold cave, colorful wildflowers were woven on it, making it look like a flower room from a distance.
Once inside, all the items needed for the wedding were prepared. The inner room was decorated with auspicious patterns, the walls were covered with lucky characters, and two wedding candles were placed on the table, creating a red-themed atmosphere.
Xue Pinggui pulled Qingyue along, helped her put on the wedding clothes that were placed aside, and then went to the table to begin the wedding ceremony.
First bow to heaven and earth,
Second bow to the parents,
The husband and wife bow to each other.
After bowing three times, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Qingyue smiled shyly on the surface, but inwardly she was complaining non-stop.
If it weren't for the mission, I would have rolled my eyes when Xue Pinggui was trying to deceive me.
How could Xue Pinggui possibly believe that the legitimate daughter of the Pingxi Jiedushi would engage in an affair without a matchmaker?
How could she marry without the consent of her elders?
How could they have held a wedding ceremony in such a simple place?
Does he really think he can get ahead just by relying on his looks?
If she is truly the legitimate daughter of the Pingxi Jiedushi's family, what kind of outstanding people hasn't she seen!
"My lady, let's get settled." Xue Pinggui took Qingyue's hand and led her to the bedside, teasing her as he spoke.
"Husband," Qingyue called out sweetly, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Then, a series of suggestive noises filled the room...
