"Lady Lian is a woman of unparalleled beauty, whom I admire and worship immensely. Although I have only recently left the nobility, my heart is still with the Empress Dowager." Tongxuan took a few steps forward, cupped his hands in greeting to the Empress Dowager, and uttered a series of words that greatly surprised Wang Yao.
He had always thought that this cunning old man just liked playing mahjong. When he wasn't playing mahjong, he always looked very serious and was also very cunning. He wanted to use marriage to annex the Yi clan, but he never expected that this old fellow would actually talk nonsense and flirt with the Empress.
"Since that's what you say, Immortal Master, then you may simply stay with my clan. Rest assured, I will certainly give you the most beautiful girl in my clan." Lady Lian smiled slightly, her beauty captivating.
"I dare not," Tongxuan hurriedly shook his head. "Having seen the ocean, one finds it hard to be impressed by a mere stream. When I saw Lady Lian, all my beauty paled in comparison; she was nothing but a withered flower."
"Since that's the case, now that you've met me, do you want me to marry you, or do you want to take a look at you a couple of times before going back?" Lady Lian seemed very pleased with Tongxuan's words and asked with a smile.

This hand seemed to have been born from the red jade on the high platform, shimmering with red light. The arm slowly moved forward, growing longer and longer until it reached the top of Tongxuan's head. Then, with a gentle pinch of two fingers, it took the letter and then slowly retracted, shrinking back into the high platform along with the letter.
