The family servant inside listened to the intermittent knocking and hesitated for a moment before opening the door again.

"Fairy, please go back. Our Yun Mansion is really closed recently, and we truly have no intention to receive guests."

"May I trouble you to report that a sword cultivator from Xiaoyao Peak has interrupted today as it is indeed a matter of urgency."

As soon as the words Xiaoyao Peak were spoken, this servant from the Yun Mansion finally hesitated.

"Fairy, please wait a moment. I'll report to the master of the house, and then we'll come to greet the guest."

It didn't take long before the servant returned, opening the gate of the mansion.

"Welcome, esteemed guest. Our master of the Yun Family has already arranged for a banquet in the garden. Please, Fairy, this way."

This attitude suddenly became excessively courteous...

Previously, they clearly wouldn't even let her through the gates. The name Xiaoyao Peak unexpectedly proved to be so effective.

Shi Yuezhu was a bit puzzled. In her impression, Xiaoyao Peak and the Yun Family didn't have much interaction.

How could the name of Xiaoyao Peak be so influential at the Yun Family?

In the back garden, the banquet table was already set with snacks, looking quite exquisite.

"Fairy, please rest for a moment. Miss Shuang will arrive shortly."

Shi Yuezhu was somewhat puzzled. This Miss Shuang from the Yun Family seemed unfamiliar to her.

Not long after, Madam Yun, dressed neatly, walked over from the distant corridor.

She was smiling as she walked and spoke.

"It's all our fault for not informing the servants properly. We almost turned away Fairy Xilan at the door...

This matter, indeed, is all my fault, but there's no choice. These past two days, the Shen and Su families..."

As she spoke, Madam Yun had already walked past the corridor.

Seeing the unfamiliar fairy standing in front, Madam Yun was taken aback.

The fairy in front of her was of exquisite beauty, with a gentle and mature demeanor, unlike the youthful and naive appearance of Liu Xilan.

"Fairy, who might you be...?"

"I am Shi Yuezhu, a sword cultivator from Xiaoyao Peak. Madam, you probably don't know me and mistook me for the child Xilan?"

Listening to Madam Yun's earlier words, Shi Yuezhu had actually realized.

After reporting the name of Xiaoyao Peak, Madam Yun mistook her for Liu Xilan.

It seemed that Liu Xilan and Madam Yun had a good relationship.

Among those from Xiaoyao Peak with whom she had an association, it was Liu Xilan alone.

Madam Yun subconsciously assumed that the disciple visiting from Xiaoyao Peak was surely Liu Xilan.

Upon hearing Shi Yuezhu's name, Madam Yun quickly apologized.

However, during the apology, Madam Yun felt as if she had heard the name Shi Yuezhu somewhere before.

Thinking it through, a flood of memory suddenly surfaced.

Shi Yuezhu, the Peak Master of Moon Bamboo Peak, she is... the master of Su Family's Pride, Su Jinyu!

Recalling this, Madam Yun instantly broke out in goosebumps.

She lightly tapped the maid beside her, quietly instructing her to quickly inform Shen Han to not come.

Madam Yun originally thought the visitor was Liu Xilan, whom she helped Shen Han with so much, hosting today's banquet.

Shen Han naturally had to come to the banquet as well.

But she never expected the visitor to be the master of Su Jinyu.

As Madam Yun's words ended, the maid intended to leave but found herself unable to move.

There was no helping it, as Shi Yuezhu had already stepped into Third Grade, entering the Immortal Realm.

Her hearing and vision were far beyond that of normal people.

The words Madam Yun just shared with the maid, Shi Yuezhu heard them even more clearly than the maid did.

"Miss Yun, the reason for today's visit is a matter I need to discuss directly with Shen Han.

It's about my disciple, and I ask for your favor on this matter.

Rest assured, Miss Yun, I will not harm Young Master Shen Han and can even offer him an opportunity."

Madam Yun wished to refuse, but upon glancing at the guard beside her, even his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

This Shi Yuezhu, her strength had become extraordinary...

"Fairy Shi, Xiaoyao Peak is the Sword Cultivation Holy Land of Great Wei and has never been involved in court disputes..... Today, acting in this way, I fear is inappropriate..."

Madam Yun took a deep breath. After all, this place was the Yun Mansion.

"This matter concerns the marriage arrangements for my disciple. Her heart is set on another man.

If matched with Young Master Shen Han of the Shen Family, it would be a tragedy for both her and him.

Now, the Imperial Family has already agreed to dissolve the marriage; all that's needed is for Young Master Shen Han to write a letter of divorce..."

As Shi Yuezhu explained, Shen Han walked across the corridor and entered the back garden.

Since moving into the Yun Mansion, the quality of his life had improved significantly.

The coarse clothing he once wore had been replaced by a fitting and appropriate robe.

Now Shen Han appeared even more handsome than before.

"Third Madam, didn't you say it was Fairy Liu..."

Shen Han hadn't finished his sentence when his gaze rested upon Shi Yuezhu.

The world seemed to freeze.

The two of them exchanged glances, never expecting to meet here and now...

Everything around them seemed to quiet down, with their pupils shrinking as if they could only contain each other.

"Han, Han..."

It wasn't until Madam Yun softly reminded him several times that Shen Han slightly came to his senses.

Blinking, he looked again.

Indeed, the person in front of him was still her...

"Han, this is Fairy Shi from Xiaoyao Peak. She is also the master of Su Jinyu."

???

!!!

Su Jinyu's... master?!

Shen Han knew that Shi Yuezhu was slightly older than him, but he never imagined she would be Su Jinyu's master...

Meanwhile, Shi Yuezhu too froze for quite a while.

Once she came back to her senses, her face seemed to show a hint of joy, but even more so, surprise.

The young man she had met in the dense forest was actually betrothed to her disciple...

Originally, there was already a significant gap in age, strength, and status between them.

But now, there was an additional ethical obstacle...

In the back garden, the two of them stared at each other for quite a while, then tacitly averted their gazes.

Seeing this, Madam Yun hurriedly shook Shen Han's hand.

Softly reminding him, "Han, even if you're unhappy with the Su Family, you should maintain decorum and greet her, as she is a senior from Xiaoyao Peak..."

In Madam Yun's eyes, Shen Han was always courteous.

Meeting seniors this time yet remaining silent and unsaluting was surely due to inner resentment.

Upon being urged, Shen Han hesitated for a moment, "Su Jinyu... master..."

The title felt too strange, prompting Madam Yun to remind him again, "Call her senior..."

"Greetings... senior..."

The title of senior made both Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu feel somewhat uneasy.

"Fairy Shi, Han has been diligently practicing these past few days and might be a bit confused. If there's any offense, I beg for your indulgence."

Madam Yun felt that something was odd about Shen Han today. In the past, even when facing the Patriarch Shen and Madam Shen, their harsh reprimands did not affect his composure.

Yet today, somehow, it was different.

"Lately, with diligent practice, have you gained any insights?"

Shi Yuezhu seemed to have forgotten her purpose for coming, opening her mouth with concern for Shen Han's current state.

Her voice was as gentle and melodious as in his memory.

The light blue Immortal Robe accentuated her, resembling a fairy descending upon the world.
