Instead of going out and wasting time, he might as well stay in the inn and wait.

Because it had snowed not long ago, there was still snow on the roof of the inn. Zhao Kangping opened the window and saw the tiles covered with white.

When he had nothing to do, he used his spiritual power to control the snow on the tiles and made a few snowmen.

Unfortunately, there are no branches or carrots on the tiles, so the snowman has no hands or nose. His eyes are two holes poked out, and his mouth is a concave arc.

"So cute~" A woman in the next room also opened the window and commented when she saw the snowman Zhao Kangping made with his spiritual power.

Zhao Kangping looked over and saw a woman with beautiful eyes and delicate features. She lazily supported her chin with her snow-white and crystal-clear arms, and her bulging chest pressed against the window sill, creating an alluring shape.

How could they be cute? Zhao Kangping thought these snowmen were ugly; he just made them for fun.

This woman's aesthetic taste is really not that good.

The woman next door was naturally Lin Ruowei. How could she miss the opportunity to chat with him?

Chapter 339: Marriage, or ill-fated fate?

Zhao Kangping had no intention of saying more and made a gesture to close the window.

However, the woman quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute, fellow Daoist. Our meeting is destiny. I'm new to Liucui City and unfamiliar with the place. I'd like to establish a good relationship with you, fellow Daoist."

It's strange. Zhao Kangping has seen men approaching women to chat up, but it's rare to see a woman take the initiative to approach him.

So he stopped and waited to see what she was going to say.

"My name is Ling Susu. May I ask your name, fellow Taoist?" Her eyes were bright, and it seemed that she really wanted to get to know him.

Are female cultivators nowadays so bold that they dare to take the initiative to chat with strange men?

Even though monks are generally more open-minded than ordinary people, such a bold move is still a bit abrupt.

Zhao Kangping happened to have nothing to do, so he didn't refuse outright.

"My last name is Zhao... My given name is An, which means peace." It is normal to use a pseudonym when going out. Zhao Kangping did not intend to make close friends with people he met on the street, so he said this pseudonym.

However, when Lin Ruowei heard these two words, her heart was shocked.

Zhao An...

The memories of her impending death began to assault her.

She had spent more than ten years with him during her ten-plus years as Lin Ruowei. The memory was etched in her heart, and she had never forgotten it.

But now, when she recalled those scenes, all she felt was shame.

In reality, she was devoted to the Dao and had never been close to any man. She had excellent cultivation aptitude since childhood, so all she needed to do was cultivate diligently. Unlike other women in her family, she didn't need to be groomed as a tool for marriage. Therefore, her emotional life was still a blank slate.

However, not long ago, she had a love affair with this man in that dream-like world, which did not end well.

Lin Ruowei had long passed the youthful years when she had fantasies about love, but the memories of those ten years still stirred ripples in her heart.

She didn't develop any feelings for the man because of this, but whenever she mentioned this memory, she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

He must also have memories of what happened in the Heavenly Book World. He must not let those things leak out, as they are all her dark history.

She couldn't help but cover her butt. When she thought of the ridiculous things that happened between Lin Ruowei and Zhao An the night before their wedding, she wanted to kill someone.

It would be fine if you used a pseudonym, but you chose to use this name that brings back unpleasant memories for me.

You have the means of death.

Lin Ruowei's mind raced. It would be inconvenient to do it in the city; it would easily leave traces and be traced. It would be best to lure him out and kill him in a sparsely populated area.

Of course, she couldn't ask him out right away; that would be too suspicious. He wasn't stupid, so he would definitely get suspicious.

So she started chatting with him, talking about trivial things.

It includes her experiences on the road as a weak woman, as well as the difficulties she encountered in practicing in the sect.

She was the one who did most of the talking, chattering non-stop and very talkative, while he was responsible for acting as a listener.

When she asked about him, he always avoided the question or made up nonsense, but he never told her the truth.

Who would tell so many truths to a stranger whom they just met once?

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Zhao, I suddenly remembered that Liucui City is holding a Yunjun Festival these days. I came to Liucui City largely to participate in this Yunjun Festival."

"But this activity requires a group, and I'm alone. Can you join me?"

After the two chatted for a while, they gradually became more cordial, and Lin Ruowei took the opportunity to propose her own invitation.

"Yun Junji?" Zhao Kangping just came to ask Fairy Si Ya to get a jade harp, and he didn't plan to stay long.

Lin Ruowei smiled brightly, showing a unique charm. Her smile would probably make many men fall in love with her.

Then she began to explain to him: "This is a long story, so I'll just give a brief summary."

"About three thousand years ago, humans and demons were at war. The demon army invaded human territory, and this Liucui City was not spared."

"At that time, the Lord of Liucui City was named Yun. He led the entire city to resist the demon invasion. He led the troops in every battle, regardless of life or death."

"Under his leadership, Liu Cui City repelled wave after wave of demon attacks. On one occasion, Liu Cui City was attacked by a demon army ten times larger than the defending force."

"City lords elsewhere either surrendered or abandoned their citizens and fled. But this city lord surnamed Yun has remained steadfast."

"His persistence bought precious time for the human race's counterattack. But he died in battle the day before reinforcements arrived."

"But his death wasn't meaningless. Before his death, he perished alongside two powerful demons of the same level. This also became a significant turning point in the war that favored the human race."

"In order to commemorate this City Lord surnamed Yun, people in later generations not only respectfully called him Yun Jun, but also held the Yun Jun Festival."

When she mentioned this, Zhao Kangping also remembered the history of this world that he had read when he was young.

It was true that such a thing had happened, but he had long forgotten the specific people involved. He remembered that the real history was more complicated and cruel than she described.

"Since he is a martyr of the human race, we should indeed commemorate him." Zhao Kangping also became interested, which was a good way to kill time.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Fairy, do you know what this commemorative event is about?"

Since she mentioned it, she must have done her homework.

However, the result disappointed him a little.

She said, "I don't know either. Let's go check it out together tomorrow morning. But I heard that there's the legacy of Yun Jun there. But after so many years, I don't know if that legacy is still there."

Ah, this...

……

The next day, they went to the venue of the event together.

However, after arriving at the place, Zhao Kangping felt something was not right.

In his original idea, since it was to commemorate the martyrs who fought for the human race, the event should be very serious.

But when he got there, he found that it was not the case at all.

There is a small hill in the city with a memorial temple on it.

Of course, the deity enshrined there was Yun Jun, but the people entering and leaving were all in pairs. Judging from their intimate appearance, they were clearly lovers.

"What kind of activity is this?" Zhao Kangping was a little puzzled.

Lin Ruowei hadn't expected this to happen. But since she had already asked him out, she couldn't let him go. She looked around. There weren't many people here, but there weren't too few either. It was obviously inappropriate to take action here.

"Fellow Daoist, it seems that the people coming and going here are all lovers or couples. I'm afraid we are not suitable, so why don't we just forget it." They are still at the foot of the mountain, but at a glance, more than 90% of them are men and women in close relationships.

Seeing that he was about to back out, Lin Ruowei quickly said, "Friend Zhao, wait a minute, do you believe that love at first sight exists in this world?"

What the hell?

Zhao Kangping felt something was wrong and he suspected that this woman was playing some tricks.

Could it be a honey trap?

After he went up, seven or eight big men rushed out of the woods, carried him away, robbed him of all his belongings, and even bit his kidneys.

At this time, he had concealed his cultivation level, and to outsiders, he only looked like he was at the Foundation Establishment stage. Therefore, he felt that this was possible.

"To be honest, I was attracted by your aura the moment I saw you. Daoist Zhao, could you please give me a chance so we can get to know each other better?"

Lin Ruowei spoke without hesitation. This was the speech she had thought of long ago.

Since he was lustful, she would cater to his desires. She was quite confident in her appearance and didn't believe he wouldn't take the bait. Although her current appearance had reduced some of her charm, she should still be able to hook him.

Zhao Kangping shook his head and said, "No, I already have a Taoist partner, so this is really inappropriate."

"Wait, even if Fellow Daoist Zhao already has a Daoist partner, it doesn't matter. I don't ask for a formal status, I just hope that Fellow Daoist can take care of me. I can stay in Liucui City and buy my own property."

"All you need is to come visit me every once in a while."

Many men in the mortal world who work as officials or in business often keep mistresses outside, and a similar situation exists in the world of immortal cultivation. Many cultivators who venture out into the world will meet cultivators of the opposite sex during their travels, and it is inevitable that some fleeting romances will occur among them.

Monks are generally more open-minded than ordinary people and are accustomed to such things.

But the more Zhao Kangping thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He had only known this woman for a short time and didn't even know her very well. She was being so flattering, which was a big problem.

So he quietly and secretly used the power of the Eye of Truth.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

The Eye of Truth helped him see through all disguises, and he was shocked when the true face of the person in front of him appeared in his eyes.

The woman who calls herself Ling Susu is actually Lin Ruowei.

Damn, this woman must be trying to harm me.

How can she get what she wants?

"No, no, my Taoist partner is very strict, so I will have to let the beautiful lady down." Zhao Kangping declined.

He was pretending. He was a ghost master who had harmed two of his own disciples, but he actually said that his Taoist partner was strict. This statement would be fine for someone who didn't know the truth, but she had learned some information and just thought he was lying.

It seems that the strategy is wrong. The purpose is too strong, which makes me appear frivolous.

I miscalculated, was too eager for success, and was careless.

Zhao Kangping turned around and was about to leave, but he suddenly felt a soft little hand grabbing one of his hands.

Then he saw Lin Ruowei saying lovingly, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, I was right. You are different from those who only covet my body."

"There aren't many people in the world who are as loyal and righteous as you."

I...

Aren't you embarrassed when you say these things? I feel embarrassed for you.

She continued, "To be honest, I've been spotted by a wicked young man in my sect. He relies on his father being an elder in the sect to force me to submit to him."

"I took advantage of this mission to escape. I definitely won't be going back."

"But if I were caught and taken back from the sect without permission, I would definitely be severely punished. That's why I want to seek refuge with a reliable male cultivator."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

However, Zhao Kangping could see her true face. From his perspective, the familiar face of Lin Ruowei making this series of expressions always seemed very strange and a bit artificial.

Do you want to look in the mirror and see what you look like now?

The contrast between him and the usually arrogant and condescending Master of Jianya Palace is too great.

How do you want me to behave?

I turned a blind eye when it was time to cooperate with your performance.

I will just watch you perform quietly.

Lin Ruowei actually squeezed out a few tears, looking pitiful.

If it were any other man, he would have hugged her and comforted her. He might even act like a domineering CEO, lift her chin, and say, "Woman, you've successfully caught my attention."

But he thought it over carefully now.

Was she still looking for the Heavenly Book? If he rejected her like this, would she break up with him right then and there?

If I reject her too directly, she might change her strategy and choose a tough approach.

Now that the Heavenly Book is in his hands, he has the initiative. At worst, he can use the power of the Heavenly Book on her again to give her a wave of intensified brainwashing.

Since that’s the case, why not take advantage of the situation?

It just so happened that his hand was held by her, so he took the opportunity to grab her little hand.

At that moment, he could even feel her body tremble.
