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

a few days later.

Xiaozhu Peak, Jingzhu Pavilion.

Master Shuiyue put down his teacup, looked at Su Ru sitting opposite him, his lips slightly curved, and his eyes filled with warmth.

"So, Junior Brother Tian agrees?"

Su Ru smiled and nodded, refilling Shuiyue's tea: "Don't you know his temper, Senior Sister? He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Xiao Chuan knelt all night, and although he scolded him fiercely, he softened in his heart long ago. He just couldn't bring himself to do it and insisted on waiting for you to go in person and give him a way out."

Shuiyue smiled again, picked up her teacup, and took a sip: "In that case, I'll take Xueqi over in a couple of days to settle this matter."

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister," Su Ru paused, then added, "What about Senior Brother Headmaster..."

"I have already spoken to my senior brother, the sect leader," Shuiyue said calmly. "He was very pleased and said that this is a great event for the Qingyun Sect and should be handled with great care."

"However," Shuiyue put down her teacup, looked at Su Ru, and said with a more serious tone, "you know Xueqi's temperament. If she does anything out of line, I hope Junior Brother Tian and Junior Sister will be more tolerant."

Su Ru chuckled: "What you're saying, Senior Sister. I like Xueqi the moment I see her. She's straightforward and doesn't hide anything. She's much better than those who are all roundabout. It's Xiao Chuan's good fortune to have her favor."

Shuiyue nodded and said no more.

……

A few days later, Shuiyue indeed took Lu Xueqi to Dazhu Peak.

Tian Buyi remained stern, sitting at the head of the table, maintaining his airs. However, when Lu Xueqi respectfully served him tea and addressed him as "Uncle-Master Tian," his lips twitched almost imperceptibly. He ultimately accepted the tea, took a sip, and acknowledged it.

Su Ru, who was watching from the side, wanted to laugh but held it in and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, alright, we've had our tea, so this matter is settled. Xueqi, from now on we're family. Come visit Dazhu Peak often, don't be shy."

Lu Xueqi responded with a "yes," but her gaze drifted to Jiang Xiaochuan, who was standing to the side with his hands hanging down. Jiang Xiaochuan had his head down, his ears were red, and he didn't dare to look at her.

Shuiyue exchanged a few more pleasantries with Tian Buyi, set out the general plan, and then got up to take her leave. Lu Xueqi followed her master to the door, then turned back to look at Jiang Xiaochuan, her eyes clear and bright, filled with undisguised joy.

Jiang Xiaochuan felt flustered under her gaze and quickly lowered his head, pretending to look at the tips of his shoes.

After Shuiyue and Lu Xueqi left, Tian Buyi snorted and said to Jiang Xiaochuan, "Look at you, so pathetic! They're gone, what are you still looking at?"

Jiang Xiaochuan smiled awkwardly, but his heart was pounding like a rabbit's.

……

The marriage was arranged.

The news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching all seven peaks of Qingyun.

The atmosphere at Xiaozhu Peak was filled with joy. Although Lu Xueqi was usually aloof, she was never harsh on her junior sisters and was quite popular. Now that she was getting married, and her fiancé was that little junior brother (or brother) from Dazhu Peak who often came to visit, was sweet-talking and good at getting things done, the junior sisters were naturally happy. When walking on the road, two or three female disciples would often gather together, chatting and laughing in hushed tones, their eyes occasionally drifting towards Lu Xueqi's bamboo hut.

"Have you heard? Senior Sister Lu is really going to marry Senior Brother Jiang!"

"I already knew! Master has already gone to Dazhu Peak to propose marriage, and Uncle Tian has agreed!"

"Oh my, I never expected that someone like Senior Sister Lu would actually take the initiative...hehe."

"Senior Brother Jiang is so lucky. Senior Sister Lu is so beautiful, has such high cultivation, and such a good personality."

"Exactly! But Junior Brother Jiang is quite good too. He's handsome, has a good temper, and can even make pastries! Last time he came, he brought us osmanthus sugar!"

"Speaking of which, when will we get to eat wedding candy? Will Senior Sister Lu make some herself?"

"Maybe! I saw Senior Sister Lu go down the mountain yesterday. When she came back, she was carrying a huge bundle, which seemed to be filled with red dates, peanuts, longans, lotus seeds and something like that..."

"Oh dear, isn't that just wishing for 'early birth of a son'? Senior Sister Lu, you're so thoughtful!"

……

As Lu Xueqi walked from the other end of the corridor, the female disciples who were talking animatedly immediately fell silent, stood up straight, and called out in unison, "Senior Sister Lu (or Sister Lu)," but their faces were filled with undisguised smiles.

Lu Xueqi nodded, but stopped walking as she passed by them. She took out a small paper packet from her sleeve and handed it to the round-faced junior sister who was closest to her.

"Take it, split it up." Her voice remained calm, but the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

The round-faced junior sister was stunned for a moment, then took the paper package, opened it, and found several exquisite wedding cakes shaped like mandarin ducks playing in the water, with red dots on them, and a sweet aroma wafted out.

"Oh! Wedding cakes!" The junior female students were both surprised and delighted, and quickly thanked her, "Thank you, Senior Sister Lu!"

The round-faced junior sister mustered her courage and asked in a low voice, "Senior Sister Lu, does...do Senior Brother Jiang know that you've prepared all this?"

Another junior sister asked curiously, "Yeah, senior sister, what was Senior Brother Jiang's reaction? Was he... was he happy?"

Lu Xueqi paused, not turning around, but her ears turned slightly red.

"he……"

She recalled that hurried figure fleeing that morning, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

"He ran away."

Several junior female students stared wide-eyed, exclaiming in surprise, "They ran away?!"

Lu Xueqi turned around, looked at them, her eyes calm yet with a hint of amusement:

"You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple."

She paused, then added with certainty:

"Three months later, he will have to stand in the Jade Purity Hall and bow to Heaven and Earth with me."

"Every time he runs away, I'll catch him. I'll bring him back no matter where he goes."

After saying that, she turned and continued walking, leaving her junior sisters standing there dumbfounded, before bursting into suppressed laughter.

Sunlight filtered through the bamboo leaves, casting dappled patterns on her light blue dress. She walked slowly but steadily, a smile never fading from her lips.

Wen Min walked over from the other end, carrying a roll of account books in her hand. She seemed to have just come out of the storeroom. When she saw Lu Xueqi, she stopped and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Junior Sister, your wish has come true."

Lu Xueqi also stopped, looked at Wen Min, and her smile became more genuine: "Thank you, Senior Sister."

Seeing the undisguised joy in her eyes and brows, Wenmin was happy for her too, and asked gently, "Has the date been set?"

"Not yet, Master and Senior Uncle are discussing it," Lu Xueqi said. "It should be in the next few months."

"It'll be soon." Wenmin nodded, then lowered her voice as if remembering something, "I heard that the sect leader wants to hold the ceremony at the Yuqing Hall on Tongtian Peak, inviting all righteous sects from all over the world to make it a grand occasion."

Lu Xueqi frowned slightly: "Isn't this... a bit too conspicuous?"

"It's good to be more flamboyant," Wenmin said with a smile. "You and Xiaochuan are the most outstanding disciples of the Qingyun Sect in this generation. Your wedding should naturally be grand and spectacular, so that the whole world can know about it. This is also a matter of face for the Qingyun Sect."

Lu Xueqi was silent for a moment, then nodded.

She doesn't care about extravagance, but she would be willing to give him a grand and spectacular wedding.

After exchanging a few more words, Wenmin hurriedly left with the account book. Lu Xueqi stood there, watching Wenmin's figure disappear at the end of the bamboo path, before turning around and walking towards her bamboo hut.

Her bamboo hut has been expanded.

Two more rooms were built next to it, one as a study and the other as a guest room, connected by a corridor to enclose a small courtyard. Several plum trees were transplanted into the courtyard. They had not yet bloomed at this time of year, and only bare branches remained. But she thought that when the plum blossoms bloomed in winter, she could sit by the window and see them, and Xiao Chuan would probably like that.

She pushed open the door to the main house. The house was very tidy, with bright and clean windows. The tables, chairs, beds, and cabinets were all newly made, carrying the fresh scent of wood. The bed was covered with brand-new bedding, made of bright red brocade embroidered with twin lotus flowers and mandarin ducks, which her master had sent over a few days ago.

She walked to the bedside and sat down, her hand stroking the smooth brocade quilt, her fingertips tracing the delicate embroidery threads. The joy in her heart, like a stream in early spring, slowly rose, filling her chest to the brim, almost overflowing.

She took out a small cloth bag from her bosom, untied it, and inside were a few red dates, a few peanuts, two longans, and a handful of lotus seeds. She picked up a red date, placed it in her palm, looked at it for a long time, and then slowly clenched it.

May you have a son soon.

Her face felt a little hot. She wrapped the things up again, stuffed them under her pillow, stood up, walked to the window, and opened it. In the distance was the direction of Dazhu Peak, with its verdant mountains and swirling clouds and mist.

She silently thought of that person, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
