Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Su Yujiao's body trembled violently. She opened her mouth blankly, but could not utter a single word.

She turned her head stiffly to look at the beautiful woman—Su Ziyan.

The latter was looking at Su Yu with a smile on his face, and casually said, "Yu'er, you know what to do."

She knew what to do...

She knows.

……

Su Yu's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Miss Su..."

Lying not far away, sitting in a chair, panting heavily—the young man named Duan Yu gritted his teeth. He could tell that Su Yu's expression meant she was unaware of her actions…

He tried to step forward to stop her, or perhaps just to say a few words to Su Yu and awaken her senses... that would be enough...

But he couldn't move; his body was completely powerless, and he couldn't even speak.

He could only watch helplessly as Su Yu slowly dragged her crimson dress toward the center of the empty courtyard.

"teacher……"

Jiang Shaoguang, who was in Yunping's arms, struggled for a moment, then stuck the scabbard into the ground and slowly got up, supporting his broken body.

"I'm fine..."

As if to avoid making Yunping worry too much, Jiang Shaoguang forced a smile, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stood up unsteadily.

He grinned, as if he had been waiting for this for a long time, and walked forward with a limp.

There was silence.

Everyone's eyes were on the man and woman in the room.

The young girl was dressed in gorgeous and luxurious clothes. Her scarlet dress was as beautiful as a rose, and she stood on a red lotus. On her exquisite and beautiful face, an indescribable complex expression gradually appeared.

The young man's eyesight was failing, and through the blur, he seemed to see the girl from a few years ago, wearing the wedding dress of his dreams, walking towards him under the starry sky.

He was also dressed in crimson, though it wasn't a wedding robe he was wearing; rather, he was draped in blood-stained clothes and dragged his mangled body as he approached Su Yu.

He smiled.

It has been several years since I last saw the girl in front of me.

The reunion was both incredibly rare and wonderful for Jiang Shaoguang.

The two stood still, and Jiang Shaoguang straightened his back, looking at the girl who had appeared in his dreams several times with a smile on his lips.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

but--

Su Yu did not look up or look at Jiang Shaoguang.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, her fair hands gripped the hem of her skirt, and the girl clenched her teeth, as if she couldn't even lift her head.

Seeing this, Jiang Shaoguang wasn't too surprised. He took a step forward and subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the other person's cheek. But when he saw his own blood-covered palm, he gave a bitter smile and slowly lowered his hand.

She looks beautiful today; I can't let my blood taint that pure white.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The young man smiled and offered a simple yet sincere greeting in gentle words.

Su Yu slowly raised her head, looking at that familiar face, now stained with blood, and tears welled up in her eyes, flowing down uncontrollably.

She was sobbing slightly, her eyes were red, and she was clenching her teeth tightly.

"You shouldn't have come..."

"But I still came..."

Jiang Shaoguang smiled gently.

"It's time to fulfill our promise."

33. Why...?

Thick blood flowed from his arm, and the young man's hand holding the sword trembled slightly. He seemed to believe that the person in front of him would not attack him, so he slowly sheathed the blood-stained silver-white longsword.

Jiang Shaoguang did not ask for a hug, but gazed tenderly at Su Yu, at her exceptionally beautiful and charming long dress, and smiled at her stunningly beautiful face.

He had met Su Yu many times in his dreams, but when he actually saw her, all those countless greetings that had flashed through his mind turned into just one sentence—

haven't seen you for a long time.

However, Su Yu was unable to confront Jiang Shaoguang directly.

The girl's face darkened; she no longer dared to look at Jiang Shaoguang's smiling face, even though it was the face she had dreamed of countless times.

However, she couldn't be moved.

Or rather, the heart that should have trembled was firmly locked up by the chains called family.

"You really shouldn't have come..."

Su Yu clenched her fists, as if out of resentment, reproach, or a sense of incomprehension.

She wrote a letter to Jiang Shaoguang, telling him to find a better woman in the future, and that there should be a better person in the world to replace her and be with Jiang Shaoguang.

That was the longest letter she had ever written, and also the most difficult one, written intermittently over several months.

"why?"

The smile on Jiang Shaoguang's face gradually froze.

With a mix of amusement and doubt, he asked softly, "Don't you want to see me?"

miss you!

Almost subconsciously, Su Yu wanted to completely vent her inner emotions.

But she can't.

She wore the Su family's wedding robes, had Su family hairpins, possessed the Su family's body, and bore the Su family's name.

From a young age, she was taught by her parents that as a member of the Su family, she should always think of the Su family in everything she did.

They said it was a long-term vision.

To only care about oneself is the choice of a narrow-minded, cowardly, and ignorant person.

The right path is to always consider the family and the bigger picture, and not to let trivial matters hold you back.

"This isn't a matter of wanting to or not wanting to..."

Su Yu gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressing the words that were rising in her heart: "Today you came... and ruined our wedding, which has damaged the reputation of the Su family..."

I said—

Before she could finish saying "completely lost," Jiang Shaoguang interrupted her.

Jiang Shaoguang's face was as pale as water, his lips were slightly downturned, and his dark eyes were filled with solemnity.

"Don't you want to see me? That's the question I'm asking you."

"So..."

Su Yu seemed to want to say something more, but Jiang Shaoguang took another step forward and stood less than half a meter away from Su Yu, so close that Su Yu could even smell Jiang Shaoguang's heavy breathing.

The black-robed, blond-haired youth took a deep breath; he was already mentally prepared to face Su Yu.

He said he came to propose marriage, but he knew in his heart that no matter what happened, he would eventually have to face Su Yu.

Su Yu is the biggest problem.

Jiang Shaoguang now intends to dismantle Su Yu's doll-like soul—

Open it completely!

That was his only chance of winning.

"All I want now is for you to tell me if you really don't want to see me."

Jiang Shaoguang's question pierced Su Yu's heart like a needle.

She could see the deep despair and pain in Jiang Shaoguang's pale and cold face, and she knew that if she nodded, all of Jiang Shaoguang's expectations would be dashed.

It is undoubtedly difficult to cause pain to the person you love.

Even Su Yu found it incredibly difficult.

“Answer me, Su Yu.”

"You must still remember that night, the fireworks, the taste of the candied hawthorns I gave you, and the little tunes, the sheet music, and the trinkets..."

"I don't believe you've forgotten... Now, tell me... do you really not want to see me?"

miss you.

How could I not want to?

remember.

How could I not remember?

Su Yu kept answering Jiang Shaoguang's question in her mind, but when it came to her lips, she couldn't say the words.

She could feel two piercing gazes staring at her from behind.

She knew perfectly well what Su Wubin and Su Ziyan were looking at.

"This isn't a matter of whether I want to or not..."

She turned her head away, trying not to let Jiang Shaoguang see the tears welling up in her eyes, but the choked voice couldn't hide it: "My parents...wouldn't like this."

"it is good."

Jiang Shaoguang nodded, then staggered and almost fell.

But he steadied himself and then asked another question.

"Since that's the case, then let me ask you a different question. You're going to marry that young master of the Duan family, so have you ever had feelings for him? Have you ever traveled with him? Have you ever had any memorable experiences together?"
