Chapter 501 Extra: Lu Qiongying and Arisaema (I)

"Fifth Princess, we are not suitable."

This was the second time that Tian Nanxing rejected her.

"Okay, then tell me, what is the reason for your refusal this time?" Lu Qiongying was not discouraged and looked at him with a smile.

"I am the third prince's master. Once a teacher, always a father. And you are his sister. There is no logic between us." Tian Nanxing avoided her burning gaze.

"Good, this time you won't use age as an excuse." Lu Qiongying smiled.

"But do you think I am a person who follows worldly common sense? In the past, there were no female generals, but I led an army of 100,000 to follow my mother. This shows the truth of the world. As long as you want to change, you can change it."

Tian Nanxing was somewhat helpless. He took a step back and shook his head: "Fifth Princess, thank you for your kindness. It is me who is not worthy of you."

"How are they not a good match?" Lu Qiongying raised her eyebrows.

"Could it be that you don't want to marry me because you dislike me hanging around in the military camp all the time?"

"Fifth Princess, please be careful with your words!" Tian Nanxing's expression turned serious.

"You are doing this to bring glory to the country and to serve Daxia. How could I possibly dislike you?"

"Okay, I get it. I'm glad you don't mind. One day, you will marry me willingly." Lu Qiongying didn't pester her any further. She left after saying this.

Over the past few years, every time she was injured in the military camp, it was Arisaema that healed her.

Once, her life was hanging by a thread, and it was Arisaema that rescued her from the hands of the Black and White Impermanence.

Including that time when she was a child, he saved her life twice in total.

Lu Qiongying was sixteen years old, just at the age when love began to stir. Tian Nanxing had saved her twice and was also handsome. As time went by and they got to know each other more, she naturally developed a liking for him.

But Tian Nanxing has always been indifferent to her, no different from ordinary people.

She hinted it to him quietly, but he pretended not to understand.

Lu Qiongying also wanted to save her face, so she did not act rashly, but instead went to ask her third brother about his situation.

Tiannanxing is now in his twenties. For men of his age, children usually go to school.

Why has he never married?

The third brother said that it was his master's privacy and refused to say anything.

So Lu Qiongying started to guess randomly.

It was not until she said something so frightening as "Could it be that Tiannanxing is inhumane and is afraid of not marrying his future wife, so he has never married?" that the third prince was shocked and told her the truth.

It turns out that the owner of the Valley of Divine Doctors adopted Tiannanxing as a substitute for his old lover.

He also drugged him in an attempt to force himself on him.

Lu Qiongying suddenly realized.

No wonder he didn't get married for so long. It turned out that he was scared by the valley master, so he stayed away from women.

He never considered getting married and having children.

"Master said that I will take care of him until he dies." The third prince Lu Heng said seriously.

Lu Qiongying gave him an unpleasant look.

"You two are less than ten years apart in age. Whatever you raise for him, he will eventually give you back. Maybe your health is not as good as his. When the time comes, you will die first and he will give you back."

Lu Heng: ...

"I'll assign you a task. Help me find out what kind of girl your master likes." Lu Qiongying gave the order.

Lu Heng reacted belatedly.

"Fifth Sister, do you like my master?"

"Hasn't my performance been obvious enough?" Lu Qiongying raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

Lu Heng swallowed.

"But, Master, he seems to have made up his mind not to marry for the rest of his life."

"Let's give it a try first. What if he changes his mind? He's only in his twenties, a fickle age." Lu Qiongying stared at him with a smile.

Lu Heng: ...

Okay.

Finally, under the threat of Lu Qiongying's military force, Lu Heng compromised.

He went to inquire about this issue for Lu Qiongying.

"Why do you care about this?" Tian Nanxing looked at him suspiciously.

"As a disciple, isn't it normal for me to care about my master?" Lu Heng answered hesitantly.

Tian Nanxing and Lu Heng had been together day and night for decades, and she saw through his lie at a glance.

"Tell me the truth." Tian Nanxing stared at him expressionlessly.

Lu Heng was suddenly shocked and immediately told the Fifth Princess what she had asked him to find out.

Arisaema was slightly startled.

It's that little girl again.

He understood her hints.

It's just that he was nine years older than her and had always treated her like a child. Her so-called love for him was just a momentary whim in his eyes.

So he told Lu Heng that he liked mature women.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Lu Qiongying came to him dressed differently.

In the past, she tied her hair into a high ponytail, wore a riding suit, and looked heroic.

But that day, she put on a crimson purple dress and put on heavy makeup, transforming herself from a young girl into a mature woman.

"Arisaema, I love you. Are you willing to marry me? Be my consort."

This was the first time Lu Qiongying confessed to him.

Tiannanxing had a headache, but also felt a little fresh.

This was the first time a woman had expressed her feelings to him so boldly.

If she had hinted at it like before, it would have been fine, and he could have pretended not to understand and gotten away with it.

But now that she had said it directly, Tiannanxing could no longer evade the issue.

So he said tactfully: "Fifth Princess, I am nine years older than you. We are not a good match."

"You are so outstanding, you will definitely find a prince consort who matches you in the future."

After being rejected, Lu Qiongying stood there in a daze.

He thought she understood what he meant, but he never expected that a few days later, the scene at the beginning would happen.

Lu Qiongying came to confess again.

This time, he had to use the fact that he was Lu Heng's master to refuse.

He thought that from then on, Lu Qiongying would be quiet.

Unexpectedly, she appeared in front of him in different ways.

Every time, it's that sentence -

Tian Nan Xing, I am attracted to you. Will you marry me and be my consort?

Tian Nanxing looked at the pure and sincere love in her eyes, and the iceberg in his heart gradually melted.

But when he thought of the Valley Master, he couldn't help but feel disgusted with women.

He struggles between likes and dislikes every day.

He thought Lu Qiongying would ask the emperor for a marriage, but she didn't.

This made it even harder for him to resist her.

But he couldn't agree to the Fifth Princess just because of his brief hesitation.

The Fifth Princess is so outstanding, she deserves a better man to be her consort.

He had long lost the ability to love and could not delay her.

So he rejected Lu Qiongying again and again.

It wasn't until the tenth time that Lu Qiongying finally gave up.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

After she left those words, she never appeared in front of him again.

Tiannanxing felt a little disappointed, but held it back.

Until that day, news came from the palace that the fifth princess was going to get engaged to the young son of the Minister of Revenue.

His heart ached.
