Reluctant

A staff member approached Chen Jian at this time and inquired,

"The screen stickers have been moved, Mr. Chen. Where should I put them?"

"What are these folder stickers, exactly? Hu Liena curiously pressed her chin.

Chen Jian chuckled as he elucidated:

"A piece of red paper serves as the screen sticker. In East Sea City, it is customary for guests and some revered local elders to affix inscriptions to walls during weddings. This is the beauty of both heaven and earth. It can bring good fortune to the newlyweds."

"It's a really interesting tradition, then!"

Hu Liena was delighted because she would not have been able to experience these unique traditions if the wedding had taken place in Spirit City.

She stared at Ye Tian and said with a light smile, "Don't forget my fish."

"Don't worry." Ye Tian raised his hand lightly:

"I won't ever forget this matter. I'll accompany you fishing at night," he said.

"Don't go at night; if you fall into the water, it will be disastrous."

Hu Liena was concerned.

"Can't you say something positive?" Ye Tian said glumly.

Hu Liena made a small snort.

"Caring about you is still wrong.?"

After pulling a writing brush from the storage space, Chen Jian looked at the nearby screen sticker.

He grinned and turned to face Ye Tian, saying,

"I'll be bold enough to apply the first inscription on the young master's wedding screen," he spoke

"You can."

Ye Tian said in a gentle voice.

Anyway, apart from his sister, he has no relatives.

It is perfect for the elderly Chen Jian to stick the opening on the screen.

Everyone followed Chen Jian and came to the screen sticker.

Chen Jian groaned, and thoughtfully said:

"You and Miss Nana, young master, are a perfect match because you both possess talent and beauty.

Like-minded couples ought to remain united at all times."

I will therefore write "Good fortune throughout your life"

[ So, he wrote something like

Hù hòu mián cháng, four characters in Chinese which basically means Blessed forever

or "Happiness or best wishes in all your endeavours." or what I've written above ]

After finishing speaking, Chen Jian finished his work in one go.

Four large characters that penetrate the back of the paper appeared on the screen sticker.

"This word is really beautiful." Hu Liena exclaimed that despite not being able to read, she could still appreciate the rhythm's beauty.

"Mr. Chen, thanks for the inscription." Ye Tian made a slight junior salute.

"Master, you are too polite, I can't afford your etiquette," Chen Jian hastily avoided.

He then approached Bibi Dong and gave her the brush.

"Miss, please put it in writing as well. You are both their matchmaker and only relative."

Yes." Hu Liena solemnly nodded, saying,

"Teacher, Ye Tian and I are looking forward to your blessing."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong came out of her reverie and moved forward,

Looking at Ye Tian while thinking about what happened last night, she sighed slightly.

______________________________________________

"Teacher, are we really going to have a showdown with Ye Tian after the marriage?"

Hu Liena asked nervously

"What, Are you reluctant or afraid?"

'This girl'

Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena and asked...

She has been asking this question repeatedly for the past few days, and it appears that she is really worried about what will happen when he knows that they are not who or what he initially believed them to be.

"Hm"

Hu Liena lowered her head and muttered,

She feared that if he would feel betrayed and think that they had played with his emotions, and would end their relationship and stand in front of Spirit Hall.

But, what she was most concerned about was that he would believe that she was only acting on her teacher's instructions and deceiving him in order to get him to join Spirit Hall because she and her teacher were both enamoured with his talent and otherworldly abilities .

She did not want to see that at all, and as the day of their wedding drew nearer, she grew more and more anxious.

"Don't worry, you are the holy maiden of the Spirit Hall and look so beautiful. He is not at any disadvantage by marrying you, and he is a kind person so as far as he knows that your feelings for him are true, he won't care much."

Bibi Dong said as she turned to face her anxious disciple, calming her down,

But, wasn't she doing the same thing to him, as that waste did to her, playing with the feelings of her innocent self and then eloping with his own cousin. '

'Not to mention that she was his ideal woman and the one he dreamed to marry. What would he feel when he knows that his dream woman was someone who deceived him and only wanted to use him for her own ambition to dominate the mainland.'

Not to mention the sense of belonging and security, that you don't have to do anything and someone would solve all your problems, The peaceful feeling of being cared for that she had felt staying by his side, how could she not like it?

But she knew that, this feeling did not belong to her,

Something like this has never belonged to her,

She held her forehead and laughed self-depreciatingly...

" Teacher, what happened?"

Hu liena asked worriedly as she saw her covering her forehead,

"Nothing, just a small headache"

Bibi Dong said as she was really feeling a headache but she was used to it,

But at this moment

'Young mss.'

Chen Jian came to invite them to dinner.

"Where is Brother Tian?"

As they typically ate dinner together, Hu liena questioned.

"The young master asked me to tell you as he ate early because he was really tired today and was feeling a little hungry."

He slightly bowed his head and said,

"Teacher, let's go!"

Hu liena looked her, but Bibi Dong motioned with her hand and uttered

"You go, I'm not hungry."

Hu liena pouted but thought that she was not feeling well, so she said nothing and left as she arrived at the location, she met Ye Tian who was talking with a guard.

"You're here"

Seeing her arrival, he dismissed the guard and looked at her,

But she was still nervous about what she thought earlier and was afraid to meet his eyes, so she just nodded.

Seeing her actions he didn't think much, but asked

"You are alone? Where is sister?

Don't they usually stay  together

"Teacher said that she wasn't hungry but I think she isn't feeling well and have a  headache"

"Don't worry, I'll go and see"

Ye Tian waved his hand and left

Only after she saw him leaving, did she sighed and calmed down.

She really can't keep him in the dark, if this goes on, she might really tell him even before their marriage

________

On the other side, Ye Tian reached Bibi dong's room.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Seeing her covering her forehead, he asked worriedly

"Just a small headache"

She said the same thing, she told Hu liena.

And as for having headaches, she had them whenever she was in Spirit Hall, and it was only after she came to the East sea city and was treated by Ye Tian's Taiyi needle that she didn't feel any headaches Maybe it was because she thought about an unpleasant thing, that it came back.

"Headache"

He muttered, before saying

"Sister, come sit on the bed, I'll give you a massage"

At first, she wanted to say it was nothing, but feeling his concerned eyes, she did what he said.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, as she him using his martial spirit, she closed her eyes,

Holding the needle in his hand, he inserted it into her forehead, although it was the same treatment as he did the first time she came to the East sea city, but this time he wasn't just treating her headache, but was trying to relax her mind.

After some time, Bibi dong the needle disappear, thinking that, the treatment was over she opened her eyes only to see that the needle earlier was replaced by a warm hand covering her forehead.

"Xiaotian?"

Seeing that she asked softly

"Sister, just relax and enjoy your brother's massage"

Ye Tian looked at her and said.

"Hm"

Hearing his soft voice she didn't stop him , anyway just enjoy this warmth as much as she could, maybe in the future she wouldn't be able to feel it.

Feeling the comfortable sensation she gradually grew relaxed and inadvertently closed her eyes,

Around five minutes later, he stopped only to see that her eyes were still closed.

Seeing that he smiled softly, it seemed that she fell asleep, so slowly he picked her up and let her lie down comfortably on the bed.

Looking at her closed eyes and the relaxed expression on her face, he sighed

"Sister, you know, when you first returned, I truly felt as though I was meeting you for the first time, but at the same time, I was furious with the Spirit hall and even wished to destroy it.

You know why, because what I perceived and felt when I first looked into your eyes was the last thing a brother would want to see in the eyes of his sister and the only relative in the entire world.

Your eyes, they looked sad, but maybe sadness would be an understatement as I could feel the madness and despair in them. Even though, I'm not some kind of God of emotion, and yet I felt that when I looked at them for the first time.

You know, my first thought was, what have you experienced in that place?

I never asked as I really didn't want you to recall it, but at the same time I also wanted to hear it so, that I could destroy those who harmed you.

But, the entire time that you've spent here, except for a few surprised ones you've always shown a calm and peaceful expression, which made me think if what I saw that day was just an illusion.

But I knew it wasn't.

In order to surprise you, give you a sense of security, and prevent anyone from disturbing our peace, I even avoided conflicts, in the hopes that if you feel safe and secure here, you might tell about it someday

Although he had a favourable impression of Spirit Hall and wished to avoid conflict with it, this didn't mean that he was afraid of it.

Maybe the world won't have to wait another three years to witness the destruction of the Spirit Hall if she had any grievances in the Spirit Hall and it turned out, that at that time  those grievances were the cause of the sadness in her eyes.

As he said that he moved his hand, touching her right cheek, and said softly

"Sister, you're my only relative in this world, so if you're worried about anything, just tell me okay and I'll take care of everything"

"Good night"

He lowered his head slightly and murmured as he kissed her on the forehead.

What he was unaware of was the pair of conflicted eyes that were gazing at his back.

Bibi Dong spent a considerable amount of time glancing in the direction of the figure before it vanished.

Touching her forehead slightly she could feel the warmth of that kiss still lingering on her forehead.

Just now, she really wanted to tell all her grievances to him, and ask him what did she do to deserve such a fate, she didn't know how much effort it took for her to calm that impulse and not cry in his arms.

'Hah'

Really, moments ago, she was the one consoling Nana and now she was the one who was more reluctant than her.

After all, anyone who isn't blind could see that Nana was a lovesick girl, and additionally, she was so stupid that, when Ye Tian knows about their true identities in the future, he wouldn't even think that she was deceiving him and playing with his emotions as her brain wasn't capable enough to do that.

So, Nana's worries were redundant, but her on the other hand...
