Jin Lan gazed at Yun Mian with surprise, for Jin Hong had previously spoken highly of Yun Mian. His impression of this girl he was meeting for the first time had also improved significantly. However, when it came to matters of the heart, he still thought it best to let things unfold naturally. So, he calmly expressed his gratitude, saying "I've heard about Fairy Yun Mian before, thank you for lending a helping hand to my aunt in Qingqiu back then, and I'm also grateful for your care towards my younger brother in recent years."

  "You're welcome, really no big deal."

  Jin Lan saw Yunmian, and Yunmian was also interested in sizing up the man of the Feng clan in front of him. He looked a few years older than Wen Ting, with a completely youthful appearance, and his behavior was more mature.

  Yunmian had often heard Jin Hong proudly mention his older brother when they were at Qingqiu East Mountain, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence. Now that he finally saw the person in question, he couldn't help but be surprised by his appearance.

  Yunmeng was still confused about the emotional matters, and after exchanging polite words with each other, she only felt that Empress Feng had been unusually enthusiastic in introducing them to each other today, but didn't think any deeper than that.

  The queen mother saw that the two of them had seen each other enough and smiled saying "You two have just met for the first time, let's stop here for today, there will be another chance to meet again next time. Lan'er, you can go back now."

  "Yes."

  Jin Lan bowed politely and took large strides away.

  The Queen Mother saw Jin Lan leave and turned her head to look at Yun Mian and Wen Ting who were eating snacks. Yun Mian seemed to still like sweet things, and had almost finished eating a small mouthful, while Wen Ting looked like she had no appetite, and was only politely drinking tea without touching the snacks again.

  The Queen Mother of the Phoenix smiled and said to them, "I've heard that your cultivation in Qingqiu City is quite good, especially Wen Ting. At such a young age, you've already been to Dongtian. In the next period of time, you will also be cultivating on Nan Yu Mountain. Arranging you among peers might be a bit wasteful, so it's better to put you with older disciples. Perhaps Jinlan is suitable for this. After I make the formal arrangements, you may see each other often."

  Wen Ting and Yun Mian both looked up at her and nodded in understanding.

  After finishing speaking, the Queen of Birds paused for a moment before saying to the two of them: "I think you've eaten enough. The situation in the Phoenix Palace is roughly as I said earlier. To be on the safe side, I have ordered the phoenix officials to leave a copy of the map in your room. If you no longer have any questions, I will send someone to escort you back to the Immortal Mansion today."

  "Alright, thank you, Empress Hua."

  Wen Ting had been quiet until now, when he stood up and bowed to introduce Jin Lan and Yun Mian to each other behind Feng Huang.

  Yunmian saw this and also stood up with Wenhui, sincerely bowed, then walked over to happily walk alongside him.

  The phoenix watched as the two little foxes from Qingqiu left, then sat quietly for a moment, finished the tea in her cup, and returned to her own immortal palace.

  There was a faint orange glow flickering in the house, obviously someone was already inside. Feng Huang walked in and indeed saw Master Feng inside.

  Feng Zhu obviously had already heard about Feng Huang's encounter with Wen Ting and Yun Mian while drinking tea, he sighed helplessly, somewhat disapprovingly saying to her "I heard that you indeed called Lan Er over today"

  Fei Xia smiled and said "That's right, you already know"

  "Feng furrowed her brow and rubbed her temples, saying 'Xia'er, it seems like what you're doing isn't quite right. You know that the little white fox you met back then has already been betrothed to be the young master of Qingqiu's wife. I think that young master of Qingqiu isn't a bad person, and he seems to really like his future wife too - he's just a bit proud and introverted. I know you have a connection with Yunmian Xianzi and your feelings for her run deep, wanting to keep her in Nan'you Xiancheng, but she looks like she's grown up now and is doing alright in Qingqiu City."

  Fei Xia raised an eyebrow and said, "What's wrong with that? As far as I know, the marriage between Tuan Tuan and Wen Ting was arranged by Hu Gong when they were only 13 or 14 years old. Now, Tuan Tuan is still naive about men and women, let alone back then. Besides, the spiritual realm is different from the mortal world, where such things don't exist. I know that Qing Qiu's young master went through his Spiritual Tribulation too early and had some special circumstances, but now that he has returned safely after passing the tribulation, and is still under 20 years old, shouldn't he start anew according to common sense?"

  The phoenix paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I admit that I still haven't given up on keeping my little treasure, Tuan Tuan, in Nan Yu Mountain. But after all, it's just us masters who are one-sidedly trying to be matchmakers. Why not let Tuan Tuan choose for herself? I know the Fox Master of Qing Qiu also seems to like Tuan Tuan very much. If Tuan Tuan chooses Lan Er, she will certainly be disappointed. But compared to these things, what's most important to me is still Tuan Tuan's happiness and a lifetime of bliss. She's just a young girl who doesn't understand love yet. What's wrong with her getting to know several excellent boys as options? If she really chooses Lan Er, or if she tells me that she neither likes Lan Er nor Wen Ting, and wants to be alone, I will personally go to Qing Qiu again, dissolve the engagement for her, and apologize to the Fox Master and his wife."

  "Even so"

  Feng Zhu wanted to say something, but looking at Fei Xia's spirited and colorful expression, she didn't continue speaking. She just sighed again, looked at her with a hint of blame, and said "You're still being a bit too willful, your masters back then really spoiled you a bit too much."

  "My parents didn't spoil me."

  Fei Xia smiled incredulously.

  "It's always been you, senior brother, who helps me clean up the messy stall."

  Feng Zhu's tone softened a lot, and he looked at her with a helpless expression, saying "You were the little princess of Nan Yu Mountain back then, and also my junior sister. I still had feelings for you, so I couldn't bear to go against you. Could it be that I would just watch as another phoenix deceives you?"

  "That's it."

  Fei Xia's hairpin on her head shook slightly as she looked very happy.

  However, looking at Feng Zhu's expression, she calmed down and her tone and demeanor became more serious.

  Fei Xia patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry too much. You know I've always been careful in big matters. Lan is a good kid and has a clever and sensible temperament. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

  Fei Xia's words were indeed correct, and Feng Zhu finally felt a little relieved. He asked her, "Are you certain?"

  "Of course."

  Fei Xia recalled the day when Yun Mian and she discussed matters related to Wen Ting, that bewildered yet clever expression, couldn't help but purse her lips, but she didn't mention this matter to Feng Zhu, only smiled faintly and said "You'll see."

  On the other hand, Wen Ting and Yunmian followed the Fengguan who was summoned by Huang Hou Niangniang to lead them back, and soon returned to their Xiangong where they would reside for several months.

  At this time, the sky outside had already darkened, but the attendants considerately lit up the lamps inside the immortal mansion for them. The luggage they brought was neatly arranged in an orderly manner, and all items were placed in their proper positions.

  Yunmian transformed back into a fox, happily running around the new house, jumping and playing, before rushing back to stick his head against Wēn Tíng's ear, rubbing against him with his ears, and joyfully saying "Wooo."

  Yunmian leaned her entire furry body against Wenching, rubbing comfortably against him. Wenching saw this and also lowered his head to gently lick her, but his face was solemn, the lotus-shaped red mark between his eyebrows seemed more compact due to his furrowed brow.

  Wen Ting looked like he had some concerns, so he helped Yun Mian tidy up her hair, gazed at her and asked with a hint of worry, "Mian'er, what do you think of that young man from the Feng clan whom Empress Dowager introduced to you today? Did you get a good impression of him?"

  "Hmm"

  Yunmian had already thrown aside the usual things and forgotten about them, her mind preoccupied with how she would play with Huang Hou Niangniang tomorrow. Unexpectedly, Wen Ting was still deep in thought, still thinking about this matter.

  She thought for a moment and said, "I think he's quite good, very gentle, and if you look closely, he looks similar to Jin Hong. But compared to Jin Hong at first, he's much easier to get along with. Maybe the queen knew we knew Jin Hong, so she introduced his brother to us on purpose, since we're going to practice with the older Phoenix disciples next."

  Wen Ting saw Yun Mian and seemed to be in a state of not thinking much, slightly letting out a breath.

  But he turned around, and the worry between his eyebrows had not dissipated.

  The Queen of the Phoenix Clan's words and actions today were not overly exaggerated, she was just introducing her disciples to them. However, for some reason, during their conversation, Wen Ting had a feeling of being excluded, as if the Queen of the Phoenix Clan intentionally let Yun Mian and Jin Lan get along well, but isolated him on one side.

  Wen Ting thought of this place and felt uneasy, involuntarily wrapping Yunmian's tail tighter.

  Yunmian didn't notice anything wrong, after a day of bumping on the immortal chariot, she was wrapped in Wuting's tail and felt a bit sleepy. Yunmian shook her fur, lively rubbed against his chin, then jumped onto the bed, using her tail to pat the bedding saying "Tingting, Tingting, it's time, go to sleep already! You come up quickly!"

  Wen Ting finally came back to his senses. He agilely jumped onto the bed, skillfully wrapped Yunmian in his tail, and lay down steadily.

  Yunmian curled up in a comfortable position on the horse, and as she gradually calmed down, Wen Ting turned off the lights, letting the room soak in the quiet darkness of night.

  A day has passed.

  On the second day, when morning came, Yunmian and Wenting were woken up by a sudden knock on the door.

  Yesterday, the Fengguan in Nanwushan let them have a good rest and didn't say they had to get up early today. So, Yunmian and Wenting slept for a little while longer, but unexpectedly, before they even got out of bed, they heard such loud noises coming from afar, accompanied by knocking on the door and the energetic shouts of boys.

  "Clouds are sleeping, clouds are still sleeping, and also heard the courtyard. Are you here? Have you woken up yet? Hey, have you woken up?"

  The voice sounded a bit familiar, Yunmian struggled for a moment and poked his head out of Wenhui's arms. Wenhui had actually woken up early, but he knew that Yunmian slept soundly today, and was probably holding onto his tail tightly, so he quietly lay on one side waiting, and when he saw Yunmian get up, he followed suit.

  The two of them transformed into human form according to the customs of Xiancheng, tidied up their clothes, and Yunmian walked out and opened the door.

  The boy standing outside was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar. Yunmian blinked his eyes, and after a long while, he finally recognized him, exclaiming in surprise, "Jin Hong".

  "You look different from before"

  Jin Hong was excitedly knocking on the door outside, but when Yun Mian really opened the door, he became a bit shy. He slightly reddened his face and said "I've grown up, after all."

  The update speed is the fastest, hurry up and come!
