"This... That..."
Xu Lian looked at Jiang Xianyu, who was covered with a red veil in front of him, and didn't know what to say.
He could see how much Zhou Xin wanted to obtain his destined marriage in Guitongling, and how much he wanted to become Jiang Xianyu's destined Taoist partner.
He could also tell that Jiang Xianyu didn't have a very good impression of him. After all, he had been flirting with Xiao Xixi all the way, so Jiang Xianyu definitely didn't have any feelings towards him.
However, no one expected that the destined marriage of Guitongling would fall on him and Jiang Xianyu, and he was designated as Jiang Xianyu's destined Taoist partner.
Jiang Xianyu lifted the red veil and looked at him strangely, "Don't worry, my husband. Since the marriage fortune from Guitongling has determined that you are my destiny, I will slowly make myself happy with you. Please give me some time."
What did she call me? Xu Lian was stunned for a moment, and explained, "I'm not afraid that you will regret it. What I mean is that if your Jiang family in Taizhou Prefecture has a way to break the destiny of Guitongling, I am willing to give up and pretend that nothing happened."
Hearing this, Zhou Xin's originally distraught eyes brightened up, and he looked at Jiang Xianyu expectantly, "Does the Jiang family have any solution?"
Jiang Xianyu ignored Zhou Xin. She stared at Xu Lian and asked seriously, "My husband, don't you want to be my Taoist partner?"
Calling her husband is too easy... Xu Lian spoke the truth, "Ms. Jiang has a beautiful face and figure, and her cultivation talent and family background are impeccable. Of course I am willing, but a forced marriage is not sweet. I don't like to force others. I don't want to force Miss Jiang to marry me because of the destiny of Guitongling."
Jiang Xianyu raised her eyebrows, "Who said I was in trouble?"
This... Xu Lian was stunned again.
Does she want to
Xu Lian asked, "Aren't you and Mr. Zhou in love?"
Jiang Xianyu asked back, "When did I say that Mr. Zhou and I were in love? These are just your random guesses along the way."
She glanced at Zhou Xin and said calmly, "More than three years ago, the Jiang family arranged many blind dates for me, but I always felt something was missing, so I rejected them all. I took the initiative to transfer to this caravan as the captain, and specifically traveled the route from Pingyang County to Yuanfu County, hoping that the marriage sign in Guitongling could designate a destined Taoist partner for me.
From that time on, I made up my mind that no matter who the destined Taoist partner was assigned to me by Guitongling, I would be with that person, because I believed in destiny.
During these three years, young masters from various families in Pingyang County, families in surrounding counties, and some young masters from families in Taizhou Prefecture joined this caravan, hoping to be designated as my Taoist partner by the Guitongling marriage lot. However, without exception, none of them won the Guitongling marriage lot, and I could only wait for the arrival of destiny.
Mr. Zhou is just one of these suitors. I can only say that I don’t hate Mr. Zhou, but I can’t say that I am happy about him either. I only believe in fate.
Since my husband has drawn the marriage lot, then he must be my destiny. How can I like someone else? "
Zhou Xin's expectant look dimmed again, and he smiled bitterly, "Miss Jiang is right. From the beginning to the end, it was just my wishful thinking."
Xu Lian understood, looked at Jiang Xianyu and said, "Since Miss Jiang is willing to become my Taoist partner... Of course I am willing too."
Jiang Xianyu hummed, not knowing what she remembered, and blushed a little, "After passing this Guitong Ridge, there is the Red Sedan Bridge ahead. There are still dangers on the road. I have to concentrate on leading this caravan. It is not convenient for me to consummate my marriage with my husband for the time being. When we arrive in Yuanfu County, I will definitely fulfill my duties as a wife. I hope my husband will forgive me."
This... Xu Lian said, "It's okay. According to the rules of the destiny marriage in Guitongling, there is a deadline of one hundred days, so there is no rush to get married."
Jiang Xianyu said nothing more, took off her red veil, folded it carefully, and put it in her arms. She carried a big sword on her back, rode a tall horse, walked to the front of the team, and ordered "Move out."
The entire caravan was listless and set off in silence.
Most of the members of this caravan are men. The goddess captain has been assigned to Xu Lian by the marriage lottery of Guitongling, and they have been married. This is a foregone conclusion, and they are all in a depressed mood.
If it was Zhou Xin, they might not feel so bad, but Xu Lian was the lucky guy.
You know, Xiao Xixi became a good woman for Xu Lian and was exclusively for Xu Lian, which already made them feel a little depressed. Now they have the goddess captain, which makes them even more depressed.
If this kid wasn't so strong, they would all want to beat him up and give all the benefits to him. He really doesn't know the rules!
"Congratulations to Xu Lang for becoming the son-in-law of the Jiang family."
Xiao Xixi and Xu Lian still walked at the end of the team, saying some festive words to Xu Lian with a sweet smile.
Xu Lian was puzzled. It would be fine if she wasn't angry, but she seemed to be in a good mood. This was a bit strange. "Why do I feel like you are happier than me?"
Xiao Xixi thought, "Xu Lang has established a relationship with the Jiang family in Taizhou Prefecture. In the future, Xu Lian's power and strength will be strengthened. I will also rise with the tide and will not have to worry about the resources for cultivation. Of course, I am also happy."
Well... Xu Lian thought her idea was very good. In fact, it was not just her. People in this world basically had the same idea. What the hell is vinegar? Can it be eaten as food? Can it be used as spiritual practice
Out of Guitong Ridge.
Jiang Xianyu ordered the team to set up camp, rest for a night, and continue their journey tomorrow morning.
When we were at Guitongling, we played the games of hide-and-seek and peach-pit fighting, which really made everyone tired. How could we not be tired if we kept our bodies tense all the time
Jiang Xianyu was patrolling back and forth on horseback. When she came to the back of the team, she just glanced at Xu Lian and did not come over to talk to Xu Lian. After all, Xu Lian was still in the state of being kicked out of the team, and as the captain of the caravan, it was not convenient for her to contact Xu Lian.
Of course, it was not convenient for Xu Lian to go and find her.
Xu Lian and Xiao Xixi set up a tent together, preparing a place to rest for the night.
Xiao Xixi and Xu Lian experienced the life-and-death ordeal of hide-and-seek together, and was always protected by Xu Lian in the game of peach pits, which caused a huge explosion in their favorability.
the next day.
When Xu Lian saw the favorability level, he was really shocked.

Obtaining two advancement points in a row is an extremely rare situation!
How could Xu Lian not be surprised
"If I had enough Night-blooming Flower ingredients, I could have reached the seventh level of Dark Power right now."
He and Xiao got up to wash and eat some dry food, then followed the team and continued on their journey.
A few days later.
All the men in the team looked solemn, and Xu Lian knew that they were approaching Hongjiao Bridge.
