The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation
Chapter 159: Living in vain
Yi Yunxi has been wearing loose coarse linen clothes for a long time and always covers her face with a mask.
Her voice is clear, like the sound of nature, but it has an indescribable quality that makes it difficult to determine her gender.
Therefore, she has always been regarded as a man in everyone's mind.
Ling Ziyan, who was known for her aloofness, was naturally not interested in the gender of a servant, so she knew nothing about Yi Yunxi's true gender.
Looking back, when Ling Ziyan was attacked by an assassin in the market, Yi Tian arranged Yi Yunxi to be by Ling Ziyan's side in order to protect her.
This was also the first time Yi Yunxi left the place where she had lived since childhood.
However, before she had enough time to get familiar with the outside world, she received an order from Ling Ziyan, asking her to accompany Duan Tianyang to Xiguan and secretly protect his safety.
After hearing Ling Ziyan's words, Duan Tianyang was shocked beyond words. Yi Yunxi was actually a woman...
I'm crazy...
No wonder I thought her figure was weird after she changed her clothes yesterday...
It was only then that he realized...
This reminded him of the two kisses they had accidentally had, which had made him feel sick for so long...
At the same time, Yi Yunxi also looked dumbfounded.
She realized that she, like Ling Ziyan, was a woman.
This reminded her of the scene when she saw Duan Tianyang shirtless by the river. At that time, she felt that her body structure was somewhat different from Duan Tianyang's.
However, she was isolated from the world since she was young, and her master only taught her martial arts and survival knowledge, which made her understanding of gender vague.
Duan Tianyang showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and secretly cursed himself for being an idiot. He couldn't even tell whether the other person was a man or a woman. He really had lived for twenty-six years in vain.
He glanced at the stunned Yi Yunxi, then looked at Ling Ziyan, and asked tentatively: "Princess, do you know her background? For example, who are her parents?"
Yi Yunxi also raised her head, her eyes full of anticipation, waiting for Ling Ziyan's response.
Ling Ziyan's face instantly turned gloomy when she heard this, and she said in a cold tone: "Master Duan is so interested in my servant, could it be that he has taken a fancy to her?"
Duan Tianyang quickly waved his hand to clarify: "Princess, you misunderstood. She once saved my life. Isn't it normal for me to care about her?"
When Yi Yunxi heard Duan Tianyang's explanation, she didn't know why, but she felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.
Ling Ziyan said unhappily, "My godfather didn't tell me."
She paused and continued, "But you'd better not interfere in your godfather's affairs. If he wants you to know something, he will tell you. If he doesn't want you to know something, don't ask!"
A few days ago, Yi Tian accidentally mentioned Yi Yunxi's gender. She also asked about her life experience at that time, but Yi Tian's expression instantly became gloomy.
He warned Ling Ziyan to concentrate on government affairs, prepare for taking over the position of Lord of Xuanhuang City in the future, and to interfere less in Yi Yunxi's affairs.
This was the first time that Ling Ziyan witnessed Yi Tian's stern side. Even though she was always known for her aloofness, she couldn't help but feel afraid at this moment and dared not say anything more.
Seeing Yi Tian's attitude, Ling Ziyan guessed that there must be some secret hidden in it, but she was not interested, because in her eyes, Yi Yunxi, whether male or female, was just a house slave and completely unimportant.
If Duan Tianyang offended Yi Yunxi's godfather because of a servant, and her godfather blamed him, Duan Tianyang would lose his life in a matter of minutes...
What Duan Tianyang didn't know was that since the day after he left Xuanhuang City, Ling Ziyan ordered people to capture Zi Yan, the courtesan in the brothel that night, and imprisoned her deep in the sky prison.
Originally, Ling Ziyan had intended to make this prostitute disappear from the scene because she could not bear to see Duan Tianyang having physical contact with other women.
However, when Ling Ziyan heard all the details of that night from Zi Yan, she realized that Duan Tianyang did not sleep with her, and it seemed that he had mistaken her for himself and slept with her on the same bed.
A sweet ripple surged in Ling Ziyan's heart, and her anger towards Duan Tianyang was mostly reduced.
In the end, she did not take her life, but only expelled Zi Yan from Xuanhuang City and strictly ordered her not to set foot on this land again in her life.
At the same time, Ling Ziyan quietly made a decision in her heart, which was to renew her engagement with Duan Tianyang and reconcile the two.
Previously, the reason why she refused to marry Duan Tianyang was because he was not good-looking and came from a poor family.
However, after meeting Duan Tianyang again and seeing his true face, I was truly extremely handsome.
On the night of the banquet at the City Lord's Mansion, he was even more amazed at his talent, as he was like a completely different person from before.
Neither appearance nor talent can be faked.
From that time on, she began to think about resuming the engagement.
After learning that Duan Tianyang had led the soldiers in Xiguan to successfully expel the foreign soldiers, she also received a memorial from Gao Qiang, the lord of Mingfeng City, which clearly proposed that Duan Tianyang be the lord of Yunzhong City. This further strengthened her determination.
Afterwards, she told her parents Ling Yeshan and Shen Ruolan about her plan to marry Duan Tianyang.
After learning about Duan Tianyang's true identity and his erudition and talent, Ling Yeshan naturally agreed with pleasure.
However, Shen Ruolan still held on to her opposition, believing that Ling Ziyan was now a princess and her status was far beyond the reach of a mere lord of a small affiliated town.
Under Ling Ziyan's repeated insistence and pleading, Shen Ruolan finally had no choice but to put forward a condition: as long as Duan Tianyang could ascend to the top of the twelve prestigious main cities in the Divine Realm and become the lord of one of them, she would agree to the marriage.
Yi Tian, the Lord of the Divine Realm, shared the same view on the matter as Shen Ruolan. Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Even if Ling Ziyan inherited the position of the Lord of the Divine Realm in the future, she would eventually reach the age for marriage.
Yi Tian also had a very high opinion of Duan Tianyang. He believed that Duan Tianyang's appearance and talent were both top-notch.
As long as Duan Tianyang can help Ling Ziyan consolidate her position as the Lord of Xuanhuang City, Yi Tian will unconditionally support this marriage.
Looking at Duan Tianyang's nonchalant expression and Yi Yunxi who was at a loss beside him, Ling Ziyan said softly, "Yunxi, you and the others should leave for now. I have some urgent matters to discuss with Lord Duan."
"Yes, Princess." Yi Yunxi left the banquet hall in a daze.
After everyone left, only Ling Ziyan and Duan Tianyang were left facing each other in the empty banquet hall.
Duan Tianyang took a sip of wine, and finally couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he asked, "Princess, what do you want to tell me?"
Ling Ziyan filled Duan Tianyang's glass with wine and smiled: "Duan Tianyang, are you really not curious about why I called you back?"
How could Duan Tianyang not be curious? He was extremely curious!
But he had decided not to be a bootlicker anymore, so he imitated Ling Ziyan's tone and said, "The princess will tell me what she wants to tell me, and I dare not ask any more questions about what she doesn't want to tell me!"
