Transmigrating into the world of Jade Dynasty, I was targeted by the female lead in a reverse romanc

A week later, the majestic Qingyun Mountain range was already in sight.

Lu Xueqi did not fly directly back to Xiaozhu Peak.

She led Jiang Xiaochuan to a relatively more populated mountain path on the front of Qingyun Mountain, and then put away Tianya.

She still held Jiang Xiaochuan's hand (which Jiang Xiaochuan couldn't pull away from), and then they started walking.

They hadn't walked far when they encountered several Qingyun disciples coming down the mountain. Judging from their clothes, they were from Longshou Peak.

They were joking around when they looked up and saw Lu Xueqi. They were instantly frozen in place, their words stuck in their throats, their eyes widened, and their faces slowly turned red.

Lu Xueqi's reputation within the Qingyun Sect is too great.

Her cultivation was exceptional, and her appearance was universally acknowledged as breathtakingly beautiful. However, she was usually too aloof and rarely interacted with her peers, so they could only admire her from afar. When they suddenly encountered her on the mountain path, the young disciples felt their breath catch in their throats.

Then, they noticed that Lu Xueqi was also holding someone's hand, a boy who was almost a head shorter than her, dressed in the clothes of an ordinary Qingyun disciple, who was being dragged along by her with a look of utter despair.

This is... Senior Brother Jiang Xiaochuan? The Senior Brother Jiang who shone brightly at the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament and then went down the mountain for several years? He's back? And he's holding hands with Senior Sister Lu...?

The disciples were a little confused.

Lu Xueqi stopped and looked at them, speaking directly in a cold, flat voice: "Do you think he's good enough for me?"

"Huh?" The disciples were all dumbfounded, thinking they had misheard.

Jiang Xiaochuan also looked up abruptly, staring at Lu Xueqi's profile in disbelief.

What is she asking?

Lu Xueqi patiently repeated herself, even rephrasing her question: "Or, am I, Lu Xueqi, worthy of him?"

She asked the question with utmost seriousness, as if she were exploring some profound truth, rather than this kind of... question.

The disciples snapped out of their daze, glancing at Lu Xueqi's aloof and stunning face, now bearing an unyielding expression, and then at Jiang Xiaochuan beside her, who looked bewildered but had delicate features and was said to be extremely talented. Almost instinctively, they rushed to answer:

"She deserves it, of course she deserves it!"

"A perfect match! A match made in heaven!"

"Senior Brother Jiang is exceptionally talented and loyal, while Senior Sister Lu is stunningly beautiful and possesses profound cultivation. They are truly a match made in heaven!"

"Yes, yes, they couldn't be a better match!"

What they said was true.

Jiang Xiaochuan's performance at the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament, including his feat of withstanding the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique head-on (although he was charred afterward), coupled with his good relationships within the sect, earned him a very good reputation.

As for Lu Xueqi, she was the dream goddess of countless young disciples of the Qingyun Sect. Although no one dared to say it out loud, when the two stood together, aside from the cute height difference, it was really hard to say where they didn't match.

After listening, Lu Xueqi's face remained expressionless, she merely nodded almost imperceptibly, then pulled the still-dazed Jiang Xiaochuan along and continued walking forward, leaving the disciples standing there looking at each other, excitedly and gossiping in low voices.

Lu Xueqi repeated the same tactic throughout the rest of the journey.

When she encountered a lone disciple or a group of two or three, she would walk over and ask directly:

"Do you think he's good enough for me?" or "Am I good enough for him?"

The answers were largely the same.

Some were shocked, some blushed, some stammered, but in the end they all nodded vigorously, saying "worthy of each other," "a perfect match," "a match made in heaven."

Jiang Xiaochuan went from initial shock and indignation to numbness, and finally even felt like laughing.

Looking at Lu Xueqi's earnest "collection of public opinion," he felt a slight unease, as if a feather had gently tickled a part of his heart.

Linglong fell silent in her mind as she watched all of this, watching this aloof, stunningly beautiful, and highly skilled girl, using this almost childish yet terrifyingly persistent method to repeatedly confirm with others, to declare to the world, and perhaps even... to confirm with herself.

This Lu Xueqi was so proactive... that even this ancient soul of a thousand years felt a little ashamed.

Lu Xueqi seemed satisfied with the results of this "public opinion poll." She stopped asking questions and turned her steps toward Dazhu Peak.

Dazhu Peak, Shoujing Hall.

Tian Buyi was holding a teacup, blowing away the foam, while Su Ru sat beside him doing needlework.

Several disciples sat or stood below the hall, talking quietly. Zhang Xiaofan sat on a stool in the far corner, head down, looking at the tips of his shoes, lost in thought.

A cool, aloof figure led a dejected young man straight in.

There was silence in the hall.

Tian Buyi looked up and saw Lu Xueqi. His brows furrowed subconsciously. When he saw Jiang Xiaochuan, who was holding her hand and trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible, his brows furrowed even more.

"Master, Mistress." Jiang Xiaochuan braced himself, broke free from Lu Xueqi's hand (this time he actually managed to break free), took a few steps forward, and bowed respectfully.

He cursed Lu Xueqi a hundred times in his heart. What exactly was this woman trying to do?

Su Ru put down her needlework, her smile gentle: "Xiao Chuan is back? Junior Nephew Lu." Her gaze shifted between the two of them, her smile deepening.

Senior brothers Song Daren and He Dazhi also gathered around, patting Jiang Xiaochuan on the shoulder with delight:

"Junior Brother! You're finally back!" "Are you alright? Where have you been all these years?"

Zhang Xiaofan also raised his head and looked at Jiang Xiaochuan. His eyes lit up for a moment, but then he saw Lu Xueqi behind Jiang Xiaochuan, and the light quickly dimmed again. He lowered his head again, his fingers unconsciously picking at the hem of his clothes.

He was a little confused. He was happy to see Senior Brother Jiang return, but when he saw him appear with Senior Sister Lu, holding hands... that familiar, secret bitterness and inferiority complex washed over him again.

He silently got up, quietly left Shoujing Hall, and walked towards the back mountain; he needed some peace and quiet.

Lu Xueqi bowed slightly to Tian Buyi and Su Ru, and then, amidst the curious or surprised gazes of everyone, she spoke again, her voice clear and resonating throughout the quiet Shoujing Hall.

"Uncle Tian, ​​Uncle Su."

She looked at Tian Buyi and Su Ru, her gaze frank, and asked, "Am I and Xiao Chuan a good match?"

"Pfft—" Tian Buyi spat out a mouthful of tea, coughing so loudly that it shook the heavens and earth. Su Ru was also stunned, and almost pricked her hand with the needle and thread in her hand.

Jiang Xiaochuan rubbed his forehead, wishing he could dig a hole and crawl into it immediately.

Lu Xueqi! Are you even a normal person?!

Tian Buyi finally managed to stop coughing, his face flushed red. He pointed at Lu Xueqi, then at Jiang Xiaochuan, his mustache twitching. He couldn't utter a word for a long time. This... this is outrageous!

Su Ru burst out laughing, her laughter growing louder and louder until she was shaking uncontrollably.

She looked at Lu Xueqi, then at Jiang Xiaochuan who seemed to want to curl up into a ball, her eyes filled with a warm smile.

She stepped forward, took Lu Xueqi's hand, and said softly, "He's a good match, of course he's a good match. It's a blessing for someone like Xueqi to be interested in our little rascal."

Lu Xueqi bowed respectfully to Su Ru, then turned to Tian Buyi, who was still glaring and puffing out his beard, and said again, "Next month, I will come to Dazhu Peak to propose marriage."

After saying that, she reached out and grabbed Jiang Xiaochuan's wrist, who was still reeling from the words "marriage proposal," nodded to Su Ru, and turned to leave.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Jiang Xiaochuan stumbled from being dragged along by her, finally snapping out of his daze and exclaiming, "Lu Xueqi, are you crazy! What are you talking about, marriage? I haven't even agreed yet!"

Tian Buyi finally caught his breath, slammed his hand on the armrest of the chair, his face even redder, and roared, "Nonsense! Absolutely nonsense!"

Su Ru laughed until tears streamed down her face, patting Tian Buyi's back to help him catch his breath as she laughed.

"Alright, alright, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Look how wonderful Xueqi is! She's beautiful, highly skilled, and can even control Xiaochuan. Isn't that great..."

The other fellow disciples wanted to laugh but dared not, their faces turning red from holding it in.

Du Bishu couldn't help but whisper to Lü Daxin beside him, "Junior Brother is something else. He quietly won over the iceberg of Xiaozhu Peak... oh no, Senior Sister Lu, and now he's even coming to propose marriage? Tsk tsk..."

Lu Xueqi had already pulled the dazed Jiang Xiaochuan out of Shoujing Hall.

Jiang Xiaochuan's mind was buzzing.

A marriage proposal? To him? Lu Xueqi came to Dazhu Peak to propose marriage? What's wrong with this world?
