After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

Although Su Mingyue disliked Liu Rumei and did not want Zhao Qing and Liu Rumei's marriage to go through,

But that doesn't mean she wants to be with Zhao Qing, does it?

Could it be that Zhao Qing's look made him misunderstand her feelings for him, and that he wanted to agree to break off his engagement with Liu Rumei so he could be with her?

Su Mingyue slowly withdrew her hand from Zhao Qing's, and said apologetically, "Third Senior Brother, Mingyue has a bit of a headache. Mingyue would like to go back to her cave to rest first, is that alright?..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing immediately became very anxious: "Are you... are you alright?"

Su Mingyue bit her lip and shook her head, saying softly, "Perhaps the sect competition was too mentally and physically exhausting. Mingyue is already weak, so I couldn't withstand it. I'll rest for a couple of days and it'll be fine. Third Senior Brother, you won't blame me... for not being able to accompany you..."

Zhao Qing said gently, "How could I blame you? Your health is the most important thing. You should go back and rest first."

After a pause, he added, "By the way, after I finish dealing with things, I'll bring you some top-grade pills to help you recover."

Su Mingyue hugged Zhao Qing, her eyes reddening, and said with a sweet and grateful expression, "Thank you, Third Senior Brother. Third Senior Brother is the best to Mingyue."

"By the way, Mingyue."

Zhao Qing took a deep breath and called out to Su Mingyue again.

He blushed and said, "Senior brother, I have feelings for you. I wonder what kind of feelings you have for me...?"

Su Mingyue: As expected.

She stood there for a moment before turning to look at Zhao Qing, who was looking at her expectantly. A faint smile appeared on her delicate and pretty face: "Mingyue, of course, likes him very much, likes him very much..."

Zhao Qing's heart was pounding, and he rushed over to hug Su Mingyue.

But Su Mingyue gently pushed him away again, her eyes slightly confused.

She said softly, "But Mingyue is still young and doesn't understand matters of love... Mingyue likes the eldest brother, and also likes the fourth and fifth brothers. Although Mingyue likes the third brother the most, she is still not quite sure..."

"Mingyue isn't a casual person, so she can't tell Third Senior Brother the answer so quickly? I wonder if Third Senior Brother could stay with Mingyue until she grows up and understands feelings, and then tell Third Senior Brother Mingyue's choice?"

When Zhao Qing heard Su Mingyue refuse, the smile on her face faded a little, but after hearing Su Mingyue's explanation, her heart softened again.

Yes.

Mingyue was innocent and gentle by nature, so it's normal for her to mature a little later. Didn't he only just realize that he liked her?

I shouldn't have pushed her too hard.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qing said softly, "Senior brother is fond of you, so naturally he is willing to wait for you. Senior brother will pursue you earnestly and let you understand his true feelings."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Su Mingyue said, "But, but won't Sister Rumei think that Mingyue stole her husband... And now, Senior Brother, what kind of image do you have in the sect... If word gets out, neither you nor Mingyue will be clean..."

Zhao Qing reassured him, "No, you won't. Senior brother won't involve you. As for Ru Mei, senior brother has a way to handle it."

Upon hearing this, Su Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Liu Rumei herself lacked charm and couldn't keep a man.

But she still didn't want to stand out too much. If she were tied up by Zhao Qing, how could she use her charm to make other men fawn over her?

Besides, she never really liked Zhao Qing from beginning to end.

Her future Daoist partner should be a top-tier expert like Yun Yao, or a future leader like Liu Ruoci.

Instead of the weak and frail healer who struggled even to hold her.

Zhao Qing personally escorted Su Mingyue back to her cave dwelling, then hurried towards the Sect Master's Hall.

Inside the main hall, Hengyangzi, Gong Lian, and Wen Heng were already present.

Liu Rumei sat upright in the guest seat, her veil removed, revealing a pale and serene face.

Xiaomei was standing next to her.

Seeing that Zhao Qingshan had arrived late, Hengyangzi said slowly, "You wretched child, why don't you kneel down and apologize to Rumei and explain yourself?"

Explanation is useless now.

The group of people had tried to persuade her a few more times. Liu Rumei was polite, but when it came to the suggestion to withdraw the engagement, her attitude was very firm.

This engagement is probably off.

Rushing things won't make a sale.

He was too lazy to speak so humbly to a junior, so he pretended to scold Zhao Qing a few times.

Zhao Qing didn't argue, but lifted her clothes and knelt down.

"Master, Ru Mei and I are destined to be apart, so let's not force it."

After saying that, he looked at Liu Rumei again, sighed softly, and smiled bitterly yet gently: "Rumei, I've always known that you don't have me in your heart. It's okay. If you insist on breaking off the engagement, I wish you well and hope that you can find someone who truly moves your heart in the future."

His words were so sincere that Liu Rumei was stunned.

She was the one who proposed breaking off the engagement, so why does it seem like I'm the one who wronged him?

Sure enough, Zhao Qing's next words made her understand his true purpose.

"But this engagement is not a game; it's a matter between our two sects. There's nothing between Mingyue and me, yet you've misunderstood us and created such a negative image of me. If you want to annul the engagement, you need to write a public apology to the world, explaining that your desire to annul the engagement is not my fault, and publicly apologize to Mingyue and me."

Xiaomei was furious when she heard this.

She stepped forward, angrily saying, "Young Master Zhao, you were behaving intimately with your junior sister in the secret realm, causing my young lady to be heartbroken and break off the engagement. How come you expect me to write this?!"

"presumptuous!"

A wave of oppressive force pressed down, turning Xiaomei's face pale and nearly causing her to collapse.

Seated at the head of the table, Hengyangzi's face darkened, and he said sternly, "When masters speak, is it your place, a servant, to interrupt?"

Ah Qing did the right thing.

Even if the engagement is to be called off, it's a problem for their Medicine King Valley, and they can't let the Xuantian Sect have something to say about it.

"Xiao Mei".

Liu Rumei couldn't help but stand up, help Xiaomei up, and shake her head at her, "It's alright. As long as the engagement can be annulled, that's fine... I'll write it."

Xiaomei bit her lip, her eyes red, and said, "No! Miss! They...they're bullying you!"

Miss Mingming did nothing, yet she has to write an apology letter.
