"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Ruan was first taken aback: "How could a girl be...more than six feet tall?"
The old man's attention was completely diverted, and he couldn't help but gesture with his hand to indicate the approximate height of six feet, secretly calculating to himself—
He's almost as tall as his wife, Jin'er.
But that's understandable. Xiao Yuan is tall, so naturally he likes tall girls. What other characteristics does he have?
Oh, right: "Peach blossom eyes, the corners of the eyes are naturally reddish."
Ruan's father suddenly thought of his son with peach blossom eyes, turned to look at Si Jin who was eating quietly to the side, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Xiao Yuan, people with peach blossom eyes all seem... frivolous and not very reliable. Does your sweetheart like you too?"
"I like it." Lin Yuan smiled and replied without hesitation, "He has already accepted my betrothal gifts. We've pledged our lives to each other, so it won't be a mistake."
While speaking, he "accidentally" dropped his chopsticks off the table.
The chopsticks rubbed against the rim of the ceramic bowl, making a crisp, tinkling sound, much like the silver bells that dangled from the small bracelet he had given Si Jin that day.
The warm water in the wooden bathtub swayed all night, masking some unspeakable sobs.
Unconsciously, one can sway people's thoughts and make them listen to the ears of influential people.
"Look at me, I dropped all my chopsticks." Lin Yuan reacted quickly, smiling as he bent down to pick them up, but one hand, hidden by the table, was placed on Si Jin's leg and wouldn't let go.
Then, she continued to look at Ruan's father as if nothing had happened: "Anyway, Uncle, don't worry, he loves me very much, and I love him very much."
"Oh, that's good."
Lin Yuan pressed his advantage: "Next time I have the chance to come, I'll bring my sweetheart to meet you, Uncle."
"That's great! It will also give Jin'er a good shock so she can find a good man to marry sooner." Ruan's father was preoccupied with his own thoughts and didn't realize the hidden meaning in Lin Yuan's words.
After asking the question, he slowly lowered his head. Not long after, he started thinking about Ruan Mianmian, who had been thrown out of the house.
Mianmian, although she was always causing trouble when she was little, she never made any serious mistakes. How come she has changed so much after staying outside for so long?
Si Jin noticed Ruan's father's worry. Without making a sound, she crossed her legs and trapped Lin Yuan's hands. While "punishing" him, she looked at Ruan's father and kindly suggested, "If you are worried about Ruan Mianmian, why don't I go out and find him later?"
"Alright, alright." Father Ruan was slightly relieved and earnestly instructed, "Even if you report it to the authorities, just make sure he doesn't do anything wrong again."
"Um."
… …
After finishing their meal, Si Jin took her two apprentices out the door, but when they reached the door, Ruan Mianmian was... gone.
The blood left on that stone tablet turned golden, shimmering with tiny sparkles under the moonlight.
Oh no!
Si Jin's expression hardened: "Ruan Mianmian has inhaled gold dust. She will become the Heavenly Emperor's puppet and will spread it to others. Go find her!"
"Yes." Lin Yuan and Ling Zhou subconsciously accepted the order and nodded in response.
The Heavenly Lord concealed Ruan Mianmian's presence. In order to find her as soon as possible, Ling Zhou even sent a signal to summon the Xuan Shuang Sect disciples to come down the mountain and search together.
After searching the entire town, they began looking for the wilderness and dense forests surrounding it.
Under the starry night, deep in the dense forest, Lin Yuan stopped by a rock, lowered his eyes, looked at the four forks in the road at his feet, pondered for a moment, and said, "Third Senior Brother, take a few people and go that way."
He then pointed to a few disciples: "You guys, go that way."
"You guys, take this road."
Before long, all the disciples of the Xuan Shuang Sect who had come down the mountain were sent away.
Si Jin pointed to the mountain behind her: "So, we're searching this place?"
"Of course." Little Heavenly Lord smiled and slowly approached his master, who was dressed in white, to his side.
They set off from Xuanshuang Sect in the morning, and all day long, he didn't get close to Jinjin so as not to let outsiders notice anything unusual.
She'd been watching all day, and then there were those questions from Ruan's father, the noise she made at the dining table, and her hands being bound by Jinjin...
How could he remain indifferent?
He felt that Si Jin definitely owed him a kiss today!
We must get it back hard!
