"Master and she were extremely fated. When Xuan Xing first entered the martial world, she had no alias or given name. This name was actually given to her by Master himself because she became his registered disciple!" Zhen Yu said with pride.
"Your Master's talent for naming... is truly unique!" Mo Li Yue chuckled. Two characters in total, the first shared his surname, and the second was directly taken from A Yuan's name. It was indeed quite casual.
Zhen Yu fell silent, then forced a defense, "Actually, Master once said that naming is also a matter of metaphysics."
A conversation was also taking place in the small wooden house.
"What are you thinking? Since you brought it up outside, you must have a concrete plan by now!" Xuan Xu sat at the head of the table, looking at Xing Yuan, who stood ramrod straight in the room, and asked in a deep voice.
"More or less!" Xing Yuan feigned humility.
"Don't play coy. I'm asking you seriously!" Xuan Xu couldn't help but frown.
After so many years of not seeing each other, why had she suddenly become so serious? It made him feel quite unaccustomed.
"Oh!" Xing Yuan reluctantly took out several letters from her embrace and handed them to Xuan Xu.
Xing Yuan said coldly, "These are some pieces of evidence I've collected. For people like them, being bait is their only value."
Xuan Xu casually opened a letter and read its contents carefully. However, the more he read, the tighter his brow furrowed, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to begin to tremble.
"Scoundrels! One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel. It's because of people like them that the martial world has become what it is today."
The letter detailed the wicked deeds committed by the Martial Alliance Leader and his cronies over the years. They were truly blood-curdling and beyond enumeration!
"So... these people are also the most useful tools this time," Xing Yuan said with a smile in her eyes.
Although her dream was to be a little good-for-nothing who only relied on her sister for sustenance, she wasn't truly useless!
Although she had been away from the martial world for a few years and many people no longer remembered her, she still had a few loyal followers who were willing to curry favor with a Grandmaster like her.
When she had been acting out before, she had already started preparing a fallback plan for herself. The time she had wasted had given those people enough time to obtain what she wanted.
"Good! I agree." Xuan Xu finally made up his mind.
Perhaps it was a good thing to let those people from the imperial court eliminate a batch of pests for them.
Xing Yuan hooked her lips with satisfaction. She was not surprised by Xuan Xu's decision. It was not in vain that she had used her position for personal gain and taken this opportunity to avenge her past life. Moreover, about eighty percent of the things recorded were true, so she wasn't entirely framing those fellows who had been wicked and sinister from the start.
Xing Yuan left the small wooden house and immediately saw her sister waiting for her outside. Her eyes immediately lit up with a hint of a smile.
"Sister~" She ran to Mo Li Yue, her eyes shining brightly as she looked only at her.
"I'm here!"
Although she had received unexpected news, her gaze towards Xing Yuan was as gentle as ever.
Because no matter who Xing Yuan was, or what stories and experiences she had, she was the one she loved. Before meeting her, Mo Li Yue had never thought of herself as a deeply affectionate person, but after meeting her, she suddenly understood the meaning of everlasting devotion.
Mo Li Yue looked at their visibly relaxed expressions and asked, "Is it all settled?"
"Yes, we don't need to interfere with the rest. Let's go out first. Later, A Yuan will explain to you and Sister," Xing Yuan earnestly held Mo Li Yue's hand, her eyes full of sincerity.
"Okay!" Mo Li Yue nodded. Suddenly, she lost interest in the so-called truth. No matter what, as long as she was sincere with her, that was enough. The rest didn't matter.
Epilogue: The remaining matters were handled by the people in the courtyard, and a "happy ending" was finally reached. The former Martial Alliance Leader, who had practiced evil arts and even stolen martial arts manuals from other families in pursuit of martial arts advancement, died under the iron hooves of the imperial army.
The imperial court might not have completely let go of the martial world, but the benefits they had gained were enough for them to report back.
As long as they could cultivate a group of powerful experts with these martial arts manuals in the future, coupled with the gradual weakening of martial artists due to the loss of their manuals, the gradual disappearance of the martial world would no longer be an unattainable dream.
Therefore, the final outcome was that both sides were very satisfied with this peace talk.
Although there were a few people in the imperial court who were suspicious, the Emperor was already so excited that if they questioned it, wouldn't they appear ungrateful!
Moreover, this was indeed a great achievement in the Emperor's reign, so they all obediently shut their mouths and said no more.
On the other side, the two successfully left Shu Mountain. Then, Mo Li Yue's expression turned cold in an instant, and she crossed her arms, saying indifferently, "Alright, you can explain now."
Xing Yuan looked at her now empty palm and instinctively took two steps forward, trying to take Mo Li Yue's hand.
Mo Li Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, dodged her gently to the side, and looked at Xing Yuan with a half-smile.
Xing Yuan's expression showed a hint of grievance for a moment, then returned to normal. She pouted and said, "Sister~ I didn't mean to. I was just afraid Sister would dislike me. What if Sister abandoned me because of it?"
A mist gathered in Xing Yuan's eyes, and she looked at Mo Li Yue with a pitiful and tragic expression.
Mo Li Yue remained unmoved. Instead, she chuckled and said, "Sister?"
"A Yuan, don't you think you should consider what you're saying? If my information is correct, A Yuan's real age should be older than mine!"
"This..." Xing Yuan felt guilty, then shamelessly moved closer to Mo Li Yue and pouted, "If Sister doesn't mind, calling me 'Sister' is also fine."
Xing Yuan blinked her eyes, while Mo Li Yue gave her a cold smile and said irritably, "You wish!"
"How could that be? I don't even care about the position issue, so calling me 'Sister' shouldn't be a problem for Yue Yue, right!" Xing Yuan sensed that Mo Li Yue wasn't truly angry with her and immediately pressed her advantage, taking two more steps forward.
"A Yuan, don't even think about it. In this life, you are destined to be my sister." Mo Li Yue emphasized the last two words heavily, her eyes carrying a hint of an unreadable emotion.
"Or you could be my wife."
Mo Li Yue's tone had completely softened. Xing Yuan was someone who would seize an opportunity and run with it. Now that she was completely reassured, she even had the leisure to tease Mo Li Yue.
She suddenly leaned closer to Mo Li Yue, tiptoed, and brought her lips close to hers. Her warm breath sprayed onto the delicate and beautiful woman's face, and she said very gently, "Then when will my husband marry me home?"
