The Person He Wants to Marry is also Called Chu Jiuning
Little Snowman: Well, the entire world has changed its structure now, so it’s normal to have some slight variations.
Chu Jiuning nodded slightly, silently clasping her hands together, praying that no more unexpected situations arise! Please!
After completing this task, she never wants to take on such missions again. It’s truly exhausting!
As she entered the grand hall and caught sight of Jun Xu, who exuded a pure and ethereal aura, Chu Jiuning felt a myriad of emotions in her heart.
She had thought that their last encounter was at the edge of the Immortal Slaying Array in the previous life. Little did she expect that there would be another chance to meet him, albeit in a different lifetime.
“Chu Jiuning pays respects to Master.” She nodded and knelt down to pay her respects.
Jun Xu, standing with his hands behind his back, gazed at Chu Jiuning, who was kneeling on the ground, with his cold eyes.
“In a few days, the Royal Clan’s young master will be getting married. I will take you, Fei Yu, and Jian Tong, with me. So, pack your things quickly, and we will depart tomorrow morning.”
Is the Royal Clan’s young master getting married?
Chu Jiuning remembered that in the previous world of this one, there was no Royal Clan, let alone Jun Xu taking her and her two senior brothers to attend the wedding.
However, she did know a young master from the Royal Clan.
He was the eighth boss she encountered during her missions.
Chu Jiuning: Little Snowman, could it be that this Royal Clan’s young master is the one I know?
Little Snowman wanted to tell her it wasn’t, but unfortunately, it was the truth.
Little Snowman: Master, indeed, they are the same person, Yi Lianxin.
Chu Jiuning massaged her temples, chuckling.
If Yi Lianxin found out she was still alive, his joyous occasion would likely turn into her funeral!
Seeing her silence, Jun Xu asked with a slightly annoyed expression, “What’s wrong?”
Only then did Chu Jiuning remember that she hadn’t responded to Jun Xu.
She clasped her hands and bowed, “Master, please go with two senior brothers. I haven’t been in the First Immortal Sect for long, and there is still much for me to learn, so I think…”
With the world’s current situation, staying in the First Immortal Sect is the safest option.
She didn’t want to wander around and give her life to the eighth boss.
Jun Xu looked at her with a pleased expression, “It’s all right. If both your senior brothers and I are absent, there will be no one to guide your cultivation. If you were to lose control and fall into demonic cultivation, it would be a great loss.”
Chu Jiuning’s lips twitched, her body stiffening, unsure of what excuse she could use to refuse again.
Besides, she had already refused once.
If she did it again, clever as Jun Xu was, he would surely perceive something was amiss.
Considering this, she could only take it one step at a time.
“Yes, Master.” She slowly stood up and turned to leave without bothering her mind.
Jun Xu saw her take two steps and then stand still.
“Is there something else?” Chu Jiuning pursed her lips and turned around.
“Master, I need to change my name.” Jun Xu raised an eyebrow.
“Why do you suddenly want to change your name?”
She suppressed her uneasiness and smiled. “Master, actually I had two names. Chu Jiuning was given to me by my mother. When I was very young, my mother and father divorced, and I followed my mother’s surname. Recently, they reconciled, and my father wants me to change back to his surname.”
Jun Xu frowned lightly. “Is it that complicated?”
“So, what do you want to change it to?”
“Master, my father’s surname is Xuanyuan, and he named me Xue, with the character representing the heavy snowfall on the day I was born.”
Jun Xu fell silent for a moment. “All right, I understand. However, for this matter of changing your name, you still need to discuss it with the Grand Elder.”
“Yes.” She bowed and prepared to leave, but suddenly remembered something and looked up at the magnificent flowers in the hall.
“Master, please remember to call me Xiao Xue from now on, and please don’t get it wrong.”
“I see…” Jun Xu responded faintly.
Chu Jiuning secretly sighed, lowered her head, and left.
As Chu Jiuning took a breath, preparing to seek praise from the system, someone suddenly patted her shoulder from behind.
She turned around abruptly, “Second Brother!”
Jian Tong had a sunny smile on his face and immediately hooked his arm around her shoulder.
“Junior Sister, I just heard some news from other disciples. Do you want to know?”
Her Second Brother was an online gossip enthusiast.
His greatest joy every day was mingling with other disciples and gathering all sorts of gossip.
Although she didn’t want to know at all, she still nodded in agreement, “Yes.”
Jian Tong chuckled and walked alongside her, saying, “Master probably told you just now. The Royal Clan’s young master is about to get married. Do you know who the Royal Clan’s young master is marrying?”
She had already mentioned it, her Second Brother was an online gossip spreader.
“Who?” she asked.
“It’s you, Chu Jiuning!”
For a moment, her heart stopped beating.
Seeing Chu Jiuning turn pale and bloodless, Jian Tong was also taken aback.
“Junior Sister, are you all right? I was just joking with you!”
A joke? Her eyes flickered, staring blankly at him, unable to utter a word.
Jian Tong quickly explained, “Junior Sister, how could the Royal Clan’s young master marry you? He doesn’t even know you! What I meant was that the person the Royal Clan’s young master is going to marry has the same name as you, Chu Jiuning. Quite a coincidence, don’t you think?”
Huh?!!
Chu Jiuning: Little Snowman, what’s going on?
Little Snowman: Master, I have no idea either.
She pressed her pounding heart, “Second Brother, are you sure?”
Jian Tong nodded confidently, “The information I gathered is always reliable!”
Suddenly, Chu Jiuning felt a tightness in her chest, struggling to catch her breath.
“Does… Master knows about this?”
“He probably doesn’t know yet, but the Grand Elder is aware. The Grand Elder is actually going to discuss the preparations with Master, so it might come up.”
Oh! NO!
If she had known this, she wouldn’t have mentioned the name change earlier.
Now, isn’t she obviously exposing her intentions?
Absolutely cannot let Jun Xu know!
Seeing her turn around and run back, Jian Tong asked, “Junior Sister, where are you going?”
“Second Brother, I have an urgent matter. I’ll find you later.”
As she rushed back to the main hall, she found the Grand Elder standing inside, talking to Jun Xu.
Her mind buzzed instantly, with no time to think. She stepped into the hall and shouted, “Grand! Elder!”
Startled by the sudden shout, Grand Elder Hong Yin turned around. Chu Jiuning ran in and hugged one of her arms, incoherently saying, “Grand Elder, I missed you so much!”
Hong Yin frowned as she looked at her. Is this child foolish?
Jun Xu’s cold voice echoed in the main hall, “Xiao Xue, do not be disrespectful.”
Xiao Xue? Who? Hong Yin was about to ask when Chu Jiuning spoke first.
“Master, I’m sorry. I was so excited that I lost my composure in front of the main hall. Grand Elder, come, I really have something very important to discuss with you. Let’s go outside.”
Hong Yin furrowed her brow, “Jiuning, it has been a month since you entered the First Immortal Sect. How can you still be so ignorant of the rules? Didn’t you see that I was talking to your Master…”
“Oh, Grand Elder, rules are dead, but people are alive! This matter is urgent, let’s discuss it outside. Come on, let’s go.”
Chu Jiuning held onto her arm and dragged her outside.
“Even if it’s an urgent matter, you should wait for me and your Master to finish speaking…”
“No, Grand Elder, this matter is really, really urgent. I can’t wait! Lives are at stake if we wait any longer!”
Chu Jiuning truly wanted to cry. Oh God, who will come and save her from this damn situation?
