All the evidence pointed to Fengyun Alliance. Perhaps that person named Feng was afraid of Mobai getting there first, so he wanted to kill Mobai?
They had never met face to face before yet such an evil scheme was hatched, just because she was the reincarnation of Yunyi?
It could be said that he was infatuated. But thinking back to the dream, he had used Yunyi to exchange for that pearl. He did not even hesitate at all. She felt disgusted by him.
Feng Tianlan reached out to hold Si Mobai’s hand and said, “Mo Bai, I’m Feng Tianlan, your Lan’er. Other people are no longer relevant.”
After she had taken revenge for Shen Qingdai in the previous life, she would completely be Feng Tianlan. Whatever previous lives there were would have nothing to do with her.
Si Mobai’s cold eyes slowly warmed up along with her words. He said, “Me too.”
The injured Si Ming suddenly felt like he was an irksome presence, getting in the way during displays of great tenderness between Young Master and Young Mistress.
Si Mobai had stopped this incident from happening in time, so the impact was not great. For fear of causing panic, the common people also did not know that at this time — that their Emperor had suffered an assassination attack by the Xuantian Continent’s Supreme Beings.
The discussion of marriage between the two families would not take place too quickly. Moreover, Feng Tianlan had let blood to save a life this time, so her body was somewhat weak. She needed to recover, so she stayed in South Peace City for a few more days.
Their engagement was only finalized after the matters regarding their marriage had gone through the process of Three Books and Six Ceremonies. Then the palace’s Imperial Edict to bestow the gift of marriage was also announced to the world.
Observing the Three Books and Six Ceremonies was a sign of respect and sincerity. The Imperial Edict to bestow the gift of marriage was glory to the family clan. Such sincerity and thoroughness made outsiders look on with envy.
For the misogynistic Si Mobai to suddenly be engaged as well as have a marriage contract with Feng Tianlan who was formerly engaged to someone else, this matter had caused a stir like a stone had fallen on the calm lake water, setting off waves of ripples.
Si Mobai locked hands with Feng Tianlan while he looked at two half-heart-shaped rings merged into a heart. The corners of his lips ticked up as he said, “Lan’er, you’re now my fiancée, rightfully and properly. A fiancée after observing the Three Books and Six Ceremonies.”
All he needed now was a wedding date and he would be able to marry Lan’er and bring her home.
Feng Tianlan felt the warmth of his big palm and gently cooed her acknowledgement, “My fiancé.”
Hearing her cry like this, the corners of Si Mobai’s lips ticked up even higher. He smiled broadly as he bowed his head to kiss her lips and said, “My fiancée, when will you be my wife?”
“That depends on your performance.” With that, Feng Tianlan gave him a quick peck on his lips, and then moved away.
Si Mobai glanced at her teasingly and said, “Lan’er, what kind of performance are you looking for? If it’s in bed, you can only see it on the wedding night.”
Hearing his roguish words, Feng Tianlan’s face instantly blushed. She gave him a look of admonishment and changed the subject as she said, “We’ll set off tomorrow for Xuantian Continent.”
“Whatever my fiancée says, goes!”
Before leaving, they went to the Imperial Palace’s royal study to see Si Ming.
Seeing them, Si Ming knew that they were leaving. So, he also did not beat about the bush and directly said, “The Feng Clan which you’re returning to in Xuantian Continent is only a branch whereas the Feng Clan’s ancestral home is in South Winds Nation. So, Young Mistress, take this Feng Clan Seal back with you and you’ll be able to take charge of the Xuantian’s Feng Clan. It’ll be of great use to you.”
“There’s no famous Feng Clan in Xuantian Continent.” She remembered well that there was no Feng Clan in Xuantian Continent’s several illustrious families. She could not have remembered wrongly.
“I know even less. But those were the words that the former Feng Clan Head left behind before he departed.” He was just relaying the message. He was only half aware of a lot of things.
Feng Tianlan made a gentle sound of agreement. She only felt that the enigma was getting bigger and bigger. It seemed that there was scheming and plotting surrounding her and Mobai, while they knew little of the lowest ranked Guiyuan Continent. The only thing they could do was to move forward step by step in order to solve the mystery.
