Liu Ruyan asking Liu Zixuan this way left him in a mix of laughter and tears.
Who's Liu Ruyan!
She's actually the biological sister of the beautiful master!
Speaking of mysterious backgrounds, Liu Ruyan's is the most enigmatic. The beautiful master's medical skills and cultivation techniques aren't below those of Liu Zixuan, so how could such an extraordinary woman's family background be simple?
With a scoffing smile, he said, "You're overthinking. Whatever their background may be, it's all external. Don't forget, you're my main wife. Even if they follow me later, they would just be secondary!"
Liu Ruyan squeezed out a smile upon hearing this: "Are you not afraid of Jiang Yiyi hitting you!"
"Her? Even with ten nerves, she wouldn't dare!" Liu Zixuan shrugged. "But let's get back to it, a real man wouldn't bicker with a little girl, right!"
"Are all the things you said from your heart?" Liu Ruyan didn't feel like joking, she slowly spoke, holding onto Liu Zixuan's arm.
Liu Zixuan embraced her into his arms, "More real than pearls! Besides, so what if she's the princess of the Jiang Family, what if your biological parents are even more powerful? Wouldn't I have struck it rich? At that time, I'd be the envious gigolo, holding you, the little rich lady, every day!"
"You say... why did my biological parents abandon me back then?"
Even though Liu Zixuan had said so much, Liu Ruyan still couldn't find happiness.
Liu Zixuan truly wanted to reveal the beautiful master's story, but before leaving the mountain, the beautiful master had instructed him not to speak of it yet!
After some thought, he explained, "I believe there must be unspeakable hardships. Anyway, rest assured, I will help you find them, and then we can ask them face to face!"
"Mm." Liu Ruyan silently leaned on Liu Zixuan's shoulder, gazing together at the bright moon hanging high. There was some romance, as well as a hint of sadness!
The two stayed there for a long time until the latter half of the night, when Liu Ruyan had already fallen asleep leaning on Liu Zixuan, he then carried Liu Ruyan back to the room, covered her with a quilt, and gently held this delicate person as they fell asleep.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the next day. As soon as he opened the clinic door, a familiar figure walked in.
"He Yuan!" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "You're..."
"Cousin-in-law."
This term of address made Liu Zixuan breathe a small sigh of relief, it seemed He Yuan wasn't there for revenge.
He Yuan's face lacked the usual cheerfulness, instead showing something indescribable.
After sitting down, he said, "Cousin-in-law, I figured out what happened during this time, turns out my dad is so overboard!"
"You're not mad at me?" Liu Zixuan asked curiously.
"Mad about what?"
"Mad that I made your dad a cripple!" Liu Zixuan spread his hands.
He Yuan shook his head, "No, instead, I'm very grateful to you. As a child, I always believed my dad was a kung fu hero who could punish evil and promote good like characters in martial arts novels, robbing the rich to help the poor!"
"But as I grew up, I realized it wasn't like that at all, but I couldn't face it, knowing I couldn't change my dad's mind, so I went to Fengzhou, which was the real reason for going there!"
"This time coming back, he's still like that, never lets me handle business matters, always treats me as that innocent, or rather foolish kid!"
"But luckily you appeared, proving with your actions that he's not the most powerful in the world, it's good to frustrate his arrogance. This way, we can live an ordinary life!"
Listening to He Yuan's speech, Liu Zixuan grinned, not expecting the previously simple He Yuan to also harbor a mature side.
He chuckled, "As long as you're not mad at me. You know, many things I had to do."
"Not mad, I even told you I'm grateful!"
He Yuan laughed, "If the Jiang Family had dealt with it, maybe our whole family would have died, it was you who saved us!"
"These words... how so?" Liu Zixuan asked curiously.
"The He Family's connections, all my dad relied on, came from Bai Jingjing's family, and their network mostly depended on the Jiang Family, that day my dad and them harmed the Jiang Family princess, with the Jiang Family's usual style, it would've been extermination!" He Yuan explained.
Liu Zixuan gave a bitter smile, "So I became the good guy once, huh!"
"Exactly. But I'm grateful for another reason too!"
He Yuan raised his head to look at Liu Zixuan, "After all this, especially yesterday, it felt like returning to childhood, where the whole family could eat together, instead of going to those restaurants and vineyards for so-called delicacies!"
He Yuan said so much that Liu Zixuan felt a bit embarrassed!
Afterwards, He Yuan took out a bank card from his pocket, "This is the compensation for the house you guys lost and the damage to the villagers, plus a little token from our He Family!"
"This..."
"Just accept it. I've sold off most of the He Family properties to donate, and left some for us to settle in a quiet place to live a good life!" He Yuan said.
Liu Zixuan took the card and placed it aside. Although he didn't know how much money was in it, he understood it must be a huge amount!
He Yuan stood up, "I originally wanted to learn how to woo girls from you, but seems... it might be difficult!"
"If you want to learn, you can come find me anytime. We're still friends, right!"
"Alright, after settling the family, I'll come by." He Yuan gestured towards Liu Zixuan, "Cousin-in-law, sincerely wish you and cousin eternal happiness, by the way, my dad asked me to pass on a message to you when I came!"
"What?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"What you're looking for might be found by trying your luck in Huailing City!" He Yuan finished and headed out.
Huailing City?
Liu Zixuan was momentarily stunned, isn't that the city next to Yuqing City? Only an hour's journey from here!
What he's looking for? Could it be another Seven-Star Tomb?
Liu Zixuan smiled and sat back down, tucking the bank card into his pocket.
"Liu Zixuan, get out here quickly, the big miss is here!"
At this moment, Jiang Yiyi's voice came in from outside.
Liu Zixuan's expression changed instantly, turning his head to Liu Ruyan, "Do you believe if she doesn't have those Blood Wolf Guards around her, I'd dare to spank her before the whole village!"
"I don't believe it!" Liu Ruyan gave Liu Zixuan a playful smile, then went out to greet her.
"Ruyan sister, where's that Liu Zixuan guy!" Jiang Yiyi shouted loudly.
"Yiyi, calm down, you're a girl, a bit of a lady-like demeanor, huh!" Bai Bingbing's voice came from the side.
