"Let me make this clear beforehand: although I have a good relationship with the Heavenly Emperor and his wife, I can't agree to anything too outrageous. You'd better suggest some conditions that I can agree to. I'll take it easy for Old Lu's sake."
"But if you force me to do something I can't agree to, then we might have to part ways. You can choose whether to take it to the Heavenly Emperor or find an enemy in the Immortal Realm."
By the end, the fairy's tone had become somewhat aggressive.
"I don't care what your purpose was in helping Lao Lü with this thing, it was all for personal gain. Now that I've agreed to give you something in return, you should be able to cut it off without any problem, right?"
After hearing what the fairy said, Wang Yao thought to himself, "It seems that Director Lü's wife has him cornered. She actually came down to the underworld to face tribulation, and her purpose is to find me because of family problems."
But... I arranged this marriage for Director Lü to help Caixia deal with the Lion's Roar Beast, not for any personal gain. Clearing out monsters from the human realm is all part of my job. Besides, now that I've severed the bond between Director Lü and the Lion's Roar Beast, who will Wei Cai find to take over?
Once the Lion-Roaring Beast is no longer abused by a man, it risks mutating again. But Lu Xian's wife has already come to the Underworld to confront him. She's made such a big decision; if he keeps making excuses, just like she said, it would be like making an enemy of his in the Immortal Realm.
My magic "Good Person" can only last for 24 minutes. I can't possibly have to think about casting a "Good Person" spell on myself every 20 minutes or so, can I? Damn it, being constantly targeted by others isn't a pleasant life.
Moreover, the fairy maiden agreed to let me make my own conditions. What conditions should I make? What the fairy maiden said makes sense. As long as the benefits are enough, I'm only worried about the trouble of breaking off the marriage between Lü Xian and Wei Cai and finding a new home for the Lion Roar Beast.
After much thought, Wang Yao felt that this was the only way to proceed. However, he was unsure about what conditions to set. According to the fairy, Xi Fu had also arranged a marriage for Director Lü in the past, and he probably accepted a bribe from Director Lü's wife to break it off for him.
What kind of requests did Xi Fu make this time? Since we're both matchmakers, Xi Fu's requests are worth considering; let's see how he handles things. As for the person to take over the Lion's Roar Beast, there's a suitable candidate now.
Who? Who else could it be but Moropo the Lone? That guy, I rushed to help him, but he wasn't willing. After I solved his Lone problem for him, just when he was extremely thirsty, I brought him the Lion's Roar Beast, so he could also taste the bittersweet feeling.
Wang Yao pondered for a long time, but the fairy maiden didn't urge him. She just waited quietly on the side, knowing that this matchmaker was different from Xi Fu.
Xi Fu was a seasoned veteran. He had already considered everything beforehand. As soon as he saw her, he immediately started complaining and making demands with a smile, without her having to say anything more.
But this was probably a crime of passion, a serious mistake made in the heat of the moment. He was just a young man, new to the job, and Lao Lü was bound to give him a talking-to. But unexpectedly, he couldn't handle things and caused trouble for his family.
Judging from the person he was leading for Lao Lü, it was a hotel employee who, in a moment of excitement, tapped the interface panel a few times and caused a mess.
Moreover, this person is still relatively inexperienced and probably not very familiar with the Heavenly Court or even his own matchmaking system. Therefore, we should give him time to think carefully about what conditions to propose.
The fairy looked at Wang Yao and couldn't help but sigh. What kind of job did Lao Lü do? Why did the Heavenly Court have to put the troublesome Old Man of the Moon under his command? Wasn't it because her man was easy to talk to and worked hard without complaint?
It's really humiliating to think that I have to clean up the mess my husband made!
After some mental calculation, the fairy maiden managed to make a fairly accurate guess, though not perfectly. After all, she had spent many years in the Heavenly Court and knew all about its customs and traditions. She could roughly figure out why Wang Yao would arrange a marriage for his superior.
This is why she went to great lengths to personally ask the Heavenly Emperor for this assignment and come to the Underworld. Her man is a man of pride, and since she knew he was innocent, she couldn't let him lose face.
This young man must have suffered a loss at the hands of his man, so he should try to make amends. What else can he do? As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it. He should quietly go to the matchmaker and get things done. It would be better for everyone.
Little did she know that Xi Fu was a cunning man who had arranged a marriage for Lü Xian. Lü Xian was completely unaware of the situation, while the marriage arranged by Wang Yao, because Wei Cai was too fiery, had already been discovered by Lü Xian, who almost killed Wang Yao.
So, in terms of the nature of the crime, Lü Xian was truly innocent the time Xi Fu committed, but this time, Lü Xian is highly suspected of knowingly breaking the law. Of course, Lü Xian is wholeheartedly in love with Wei Cai, and she would never tell her the truth about this.
“Well… although I didn’t arrange the marriage between Director Lü and Wei Cai, I, as the matchmaker, should have some methods to sever people’s marriages. Tell me how Xi Fu did it back then, and I’ll learn from it and see if I can also sever the marriage between Director Lü and Wei Cai.”
Wang Yao was still being stubborn, and too embarrassed to directly ask Xi Fu what conditions he had proposed, so he could only vaguely tell the fairy.
"What marriage? It's nothing but a shameful affair!" The fairy glared at Wang Yao.
"You said it was your matchmaker's doing, how would I know what Xi Fu did back then? But the request he made to me was to go to the Lu'an Municipal Committee's Confidential Bureau to access some old classified documents. The custodian at the Confidential Bureau, Xiao Xi, is my best friend, so I let him go in and take a look."
