"Grandpa, I'm going to find Seven Nights. Master is very worried about him."
Old Zhang stroked Hehe's big head and said, "Oh dear, you're really restless. Go ahead, but be careful on the way." Suddenly remembering something, he added, "No, Niuniu, you don't know martial arts. It's not safe to go into the Jianghu."
"Grandpa, I have to find Seven Nights," Fengyin insisted softly. "Jin Zhi said he would accompany me."
Old Zhang nodded. "That young man from the Mu Family is being quite stubborn right now. You need to handle him gently, understand?"
Fengyin nodded; she would handle it very gently.
"Don't let it end on a sour note like last time. You need to be more understanding," Old Zhang advised. "Niuniu, there's nothing that isn't a match; love is great. I've told you since you were little that we have many touching love stories in China, so believe in love."
"Why haven't I heard any love stories in Great Xuan?"
"That's because your grandpa hasn't written them yet."
"Oh."
Fengyin nodded; what Grandpa said was true.
"A son grows up and going out into the Jianghu is certainly good, but you must protect those around you well," Mu Yu said.
"My son, when you're out there, aren't you bringing a servant with you?"
"Lin Ke has his own family now. Who will take care of that household if he follows me?"
"What do we need servants for? Our Mu Family's sons can handle anything," Mu Yu waved his hand.
"Just you," Ji Yuyan wanted to say something more.
"Mother, don't worry."
Well, then she could relax. Her son had always been reliable, except for the matter of marrying a wife. "Jin'er, when you come back, you'll marry Yin'er. This is weighing on my heart."
"Mother, it's fine. People in the martial world don't have that much sentimentality."
"Jin'er, the emperor will also be going with you this time. You must protect him well. Xuan Li is a good emperor; he has sacrificed a lot for the country. And that kid from the Xuan Family, he doesn't know any martial arts but still wants to venture into the martial world?"
Hibiscus nodded.
"They're all young people, yearning for the martial world. Didn't we feel the same when we were young?" Ji Yuyan's eyes sparkled with memories.
"Fengyin?" Mel's voice came through.
"This kid, why has he been looking for you so much lately?" Old Zhang also found it strange.
"Grandfather, I think Young Master Mei wants to annoy Lingxiang Princess," Fengyin said while petting Hehe's big head. "Recently, Lingxiang Princess has been treating him really well; he probably wants to thank me."
"Let him in."
"Okay, I'll go call him."
Mel was standing in the courtyard, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.
“Young Master Mei, please come in.”
“Thank you, Miss Xie.”
Mel followed Fengyin into the room.
“Isn’t that the young man from the Xuan Family? You seem to be visiting my lady quite often lately?” Old Zhang, who had a refined appearance like a storyteller and always wore a smile, looked particularly amiable.
“Senior, you are the inventor, right? I have seen many of the items you have created; your craftsmanship is truly remarkable.”
Old Zhang waved his hand, “I merely took some shortcuts. The young man from the Xuan Family, are you planning to join my daughter in the martial world?”
Mel bowed his head, “Old Senior, I came today to apologize to Fengyin, express my gratitude, and cancel our engagement. I hope I am not being too forward.”
“So many matters?” Upon hearing about the cancellation of the engagement, Old Zhang was displeased.
“Well, I had accepted Brother Jin’s goodwill and verbally agreed to an engagement with Fengyin. Now, feeling unworthy, I truly cannot match up to Fengyin, so I came to discuss this matter with you and the lady.”
“Xuan Family young man, since it was merely verbal, let’s just leave it at that. This marriage still needs my say; don’t even mention canceling it. You may leave now.” It was really inappropriate; canceling an engagement was not something to be taken lightly.
“Thank you for your understanding, Senior. From now on, I will never bring it up again.” Mel bowed and headed for the door.
“Safe travels, Young Master Mei.”
“Fengyin, thank you so much. You have helped Spiritual Incense see its own heart, and it has not been in vain all these years.”
“It’s nothing, just go ahead and pack up.”
“Niuniu, before this marriage matter, grandfather did not discuss it with you. You must not agree lightly, absolutely not.”
“Yes,” Fengyin replied.
“Then go and prepare your things.”
“Grandfather, please take care of yourself.”
“It’s nothing. Grandfather is living quite comfortably now. I can do things I enjoy every day. Master Mu treats me well, and Hehe takes good care of me. I am being served so comfortably. The world is dangerous; you must listen to Jin Zhi.”
“Grandfather, I leave Mute Mother in your care.”
Old Zhang nodded and watched Fengyin leave.
In this life, he was very satisfied, but he wondered what his granddaughter was like now. Was she also looking for a partner?
“Lin Jie, it has been many years since we last met. I have come to say goodbye.”
“Brother Two, congratulations on becoming the accountant.”
