This was the first opportunity I had to sit down to have a proper talk with Lass Yu in years since I was either busy or had to avoid her previously. The last time I dined with her and Mountain Monster didnt count because I was busy shutting Mountain Monster up with food. We grew apart quite a bit, seemingly, over the past six years apart.

“Tofu pudding is good for girls skin. Eat some more to maintain your radiant white skin.” Some people mightve mistaken I was speaking to my bowl as opposed to Lass Yu, if you know what I mean.

“Does eating tofu whiten your skin” Yu Feiyuan asked.

“Of course. Look how white the tofu is. This is what our ancestors meant byyou are what you eat.”

“My second sister needs to eat more, then.” Yu Feiyuan set aside a bowl for Huofeng.

I wonder if Huofeng would strangle me if she learns Im the reason…

I could tell Yu Feiyuan wasnt focusing while we conversed, but I didnt pry. If she wanted to tell me, then she would.

“Elder,” Yu Feiyuan looked resolutely my way and continued, “I… I have something I would like to consult you about.”

Shes being way too polite if shes about to expose me, right Better to not be careless, though.

Lass Yu is usually the good girl, which was why I often let my guard down around her. Whenever I thought she was harmless, though, Id end up regretting it. One time, we came across a group of kids playing on the mountain. I wanted to eat big mantous that were just done steaming, so I pulled her off, trying to persuade her with, “You dont need to look. If youre envious, you can have a few kids to play with later in life.” Little did I know that I dug a hole for myself. When my shifu asked what we did during the day, I told him we went down the mountain and ate mantous. When her shifu asked the same question, she answered, “Brother Feizhen wants to have a child with me.” I wont go into the details of how brutally Matriarch Zi smashed my shifu, but we nearly died at Emei.

I lifted my bowl to my mouth and utilised silence as a weapon: “… What is it”

“… I want to ask if you met a man on the same day I met you and your granddaughter in the mountains. He is roughly your height but a tad thinner… He has white hair.”

“Huh”

Now I know why youd bother dining with an old geezer.

“I have been searching for him for years.” Yu Feiyuan continued in a mellow voice, “The last time we met was six years ago… I have been searching for him ever since, but I have not been able to find him. Some people told me he has gone to the Western Regions. Some tell me he went to Beijiang. Some people say he is still in Jiangnan. I have been to all of those places. Sadly, I still have not found him.”

Yu Feiyuan was never one to say anything pointless; she didnt exaggerate things, ever. If she said she went to Beijiang, she went there no matter how tough it was. I couldnt really blame Huofeng for going off at me upon meeting me after learning how far Yu Feiyuan went to find me.

“I think I saw him in the woods that day; however, he left as soon as he saw me.”

“Why…” I spoke with my head down on purpose to stifle my voice. “Why do you want to see him”

“I have something to tell him.” Yu Feiyuan straightened her spine then went on, “Some things I didnt understand. Now, I do. I havent had the chance to tell him yet, unfortunately. I want to convey my thoughts. I want to tell him I understand what happened six years ago. So, did you see him”

Because I couldnt find it in me to answer, I shook my head. It shouldve been the end for us. I couldnt promise shed like the outcome of our next meeting.

I finished three bowls of tofu pudding while babbling about random things to kill time, privy to the fact Lass Yu was the type to respond whenever she was asked.

“Are you engaged, young lady” I had another small spoon of tofu pudding.

“I am.”

Why do I not feel as relieved as I thought Id be Well, its been so long, and shes now an adult. Its inappropriate to leave her in an engagement. Its only natural Matriarch Zi would arrange a new marriage for Lass Yu knowing the formers temperament. Nonetheless, Im glad I didnt harm the lass.

I couldnt help recalling Lass Yu in her thin light-yellow robe, eyebrows locked as she concentrated during training. It was only her and the leaf in front of her that she was trying to impale until I showed up that she would beam and call, “Brother Feizhen.” Every smile and every word always stuck with me. I never expected to feel forlorn upon learning she was engaged.

“When did you get engaged”

“Are you inquiring about me or my sect”

“Is there a difference Parents and teachers make the decision when it comes to marriage.”

“Yesterday.”

“Y-yesterday!”

I thought youre here for Refining Divine Convention. How did you find a partner! Now I know why Huofeng was no longer hostile! Wait. Wait. I didnt know you were so easy to fool!

“It was arranged yesterday.”

“Wait, wait, who is he Is he that perfect Why did you decide so impulsively”

“We have known each other for a while, but it has been a long time since we last met.”

Wait, wait, wait, wait, there must be some conspiracy!

“Tell me who he is. Ill help you evaluate him.”

“I think… he is in this inn. I have not seen him yet.” Lass Yus blush seared through her cheeks: “But Im looking forward to it.”

Oh my goodness gracious!-
