Xi Zhizhen glanced at Nangong Zhen and refused to give in.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Jiang Zhige was about to persuade them, but Nangong Rou said first: "Don't worry about the name, I have something more important to say!"

"Something more important?"

Nangong Zhen and Xi Zhizhen both looked at Nangong Rou.

Nangong Rou took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I have decided, I want to marry you. Please choose a time for us to get married!"

Before the two elders could say anything, Jiang Zhige interrupted them and said, "Come, get married, Rou'er, this is not a joke!"

He had just reunited with Nangong Rou, so getting married would be too sudden.

"Why not? Are you going to reject me again?!"

Nangong Rou frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Zhige angrily.

She still remembers Jiang Zhige's silence back then.

Xi Zhizhen looked surprised and looked at Nangong Rou, then at Jiang Zhige.

She had long known that Nangong Rou and Jiang Zhige had a close relationship, and it was definitely more than that, but she had never expected that after meeting again after five years, Nangong Rou would directly propose marriage without saying a word.

"Nangong Jing, are you kidding me?"

Nangong Zhen's face was gloomy, with suppressed anger in his eyes.

"I'm not kidding! You said before that I'm old enough to get married, but now the person I like is right beside me, and he can defeat Bai Xiuyuan head-on. Why can't he marry me?"

Nangong Rou gritted her teeth. She obviously liked Jiang Zhige so much, so why didn't anyone approve of her marriage with Jiang Zhige?

Nangong Zhen looked at Jiang Zhige and said disdainfully: "Him? He is only at the Dao Seed Realm. Even if he can defeat Bai Xiuyuan, he is still far from it."

Although Bai Xiuyuan was defeated by Jiang Zhige, he at least had the Taixu Mountain Bai family behind him. Jiang Zhige was only at the Dao Seed Realm and came from a humble background, so he was far from meeting his requirements.

Nangong Rou was about to refute, but Xi Zhizhen hurriedly advised: "Jing, Rou'er, don't get excited. Your father is also worried about your lifelong happiness and wants to find a good support for you."

Nangong Rou became more and more excited, choking and shouting: "What is lifelong happiness?! Isn't marrying someone you love happiness?"

It was indeed a bit abrupt to propose marriage at this time, but she had finally reunited with Jiang Zhige, and she would not let Jiang Zhige leave no matter what. Only by marrying Jiang Zhige could she legitimately stay with Jiang Zhige forever.

Besides, Nangong Rou had planned to marry Jiang Zhige back then, and they just skipped the Taoist partner stage by getting married.

"No matter what you say, I won't agree to it!"

Nangong Zhen snorted coldly, turned his hand and left.

"Rou'er."

Jiang Zhige looked embarrassed, being caught in the middle and at a loss as to what to do.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't like Nangong Rou, but the two of them had been together for a long time before, and it was really too sudden for them to get married even though they were Taoist lovers.

Seeing that Nangong Rou was determined to marry him, Xi Zhizhen was powerless to persuade her and her eyes were slightly red.

"Silly girl, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have asked you to come back."

If I think about it carefully, if Nangong Rou stayed in Tianyun Pavilion all the time, she would probably be happier than if she came back.

Nangong Rou wiped her tears and said aggrievedly: "We truly love each other."

"You have been apart for a long time, so you should catch up on the past first. As for marriage, it won't be too late to discuss it later."

Xi Zhizhen sighed. As a mother, she naturally agreed that her daughter could marry the person she loved.

However, the Nangong family's situation is special, and there are some difficulties that Nangong Rou does not understand.

After watching Xi Zhizhen leave, Nangong Rou turned around and threw herself into Jiang Zhige's arms.

"If it really doesn't work, let's just run away together. I'm tired of staying in Zixiao City anyway. Take me to see the outside world."

"Rou'er, you don't have to do this. I'm already very happy that I can stay by your side with my status."

Jiang Zhige looked helpless. Even if he could not marry Nangong Rou, he was willing to stay with Nangong Rou forever.

"You bastard! You are happy, but what about me? Have you ever thought about how I feel?"

"You were like this back then, always acting on your own. I don't care who you are. Rou'er likes you, so I want to marry you."

Nangong Rou had tears in her eyes. She could ignore her parents' opinions, but she could not accept that Jiang Zhige turned a blind eye to her love.

Jiang Zhige's heart trembled, as if there was something stuck in his throat.

Nangong Rou was right. He considered himself to be of humble status and did not expect to marry Nangong Rou. But was this inferiority complex really a good thing for Nangong Rou?

At first, Jiang Zhige thought that Nangong Rou would have a better life, so he hid in Tianyun Pavilion for five years. However, he didn't know that Nangong Rou had been waiting for him and would refuse to marry into the Bai family even at the risk of her life for him.

At this point, is Jiang Zhige going to avoid Nangong Rou's feelings once again?

Jiang Zhige lowered his head and said weakly: "Rou'er, at least give me some time. You suddenly want to get married. I..."

Nangong Rou was still somewhat childish, and he couldn't be like her and elope with her without saying a word.

"You agree?"

Nangong Rou burst into laughter and looked at Jiang Zhige with surprise.

Jiang Zhige looked stunned, not understanding what Nangong Rou meant by "agree".

Nangong Rou stared at Jiang Zhige and said excitedly, "If we can't get married, then we can start as Taoist couples. Getting married is only a matter of time anyway."

“That’s true.”

Jiang Zhige couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that Nangong Rou herself had never thought about marrying him as soon as possible.

Nangong Rou was overjoyed when she heard that, and jumped up and down while hugging Jiang Zhige.

Jiang Zhige was helpless. It seemed that he had overestimated Nangong Rou. Five years had passed, and Nangong Rou was still the girl who had not grown up.

If the world saw Nangong Rou's behavior at this moment, I wonder what they would think? Before Jiang Zhige could react, Nangong Rou suddenly came over and kissed him on the lips.

Jiang Zhige's eyes suddenly widened, feeling completely at a loss.

After a long time, the lips and tongue separated.

Jiang Zhige was stunned and said in astonishment: "Rou'er, you, you are..."

In the past, it was normal for the two of them to kiss each other on the cheeks and foreheads, but this time, Nangong Rou actually kissed them directly on the mouth?

Nangong Rou's pretty face flushed, and she said confidently: "We are Taoist couples now, what's wrong with kissing?"

In fact, she had wanted to kiss Jiang Zhige since she was very young, but she was afraid that Jiang Zhige would be angry about it.

Now that the two of them are officially married, they can finally fulfill their wish.

"When did we become a couple?"
