Luo Qingyao didn’t think too much about it, she just felt that Uncle Fan was a very gentle person.
"...Hmm, that’s how I reunited with Senior Brother at the Sun-shooting Pass."
Fan Qi laughed, "You young people’s experiences are truly exciting and rich."
"Hehe, it’s mostly thanks to Senior Brother. Without him, I really wouldn’t know what to do." Luo Qingyao said modestly, "If Senior Brother majored in Sword Dao, he would definitely be much better than me."
Fan Qi said, "Even as an uncle, I can’t reach your level."
"I actually think that your life level, Uncle, is higher than many powerful seniors I’ve met." Luo Qingyao said seriously, "Some powerful people, although their cultivation is high, their way of doing things is very immature. Uncle, although your cultivation is not as high as mine, it might take me several thousand years to reach your life level."
Fan Qi couldn’t help but laugh. He could tell that Luo Qingyao was trying to flatter him and thought, this child really hasn’t flattered anyone before and isn’t very good at it, which must be difficult for her.
He then avoided the topic to make her feel less awkward,
"Qingyao, have you thought about the future?"
"The future... what about the future?"
"Your Senior Brother, although he has a family here, roams around since adulthood with no fixed place. Even as his father, I can’t force him to settle down." Fan Qi asked, "Moreover, this child has a naturally restless heart and cannot settle down. Won’t you feel aggrieved?"
"Aggrieved..." Luo Qingyao wasn’t dumb, she understood Fan Qi’s meaning, "Senior Brother is an excellent person. I think it’s quite normal for a very excellent person to have many choices and followers. Although ’a Senior Brother who belongs only to me’ sounds beautiful, it would surely be unfair to others."
She smiled and said, "Moreover, liking someone doesn’t conflict with one’s own life. Becoming Senior Brother’s partner doesn’t mean we become each other’s everything. We both have our own paths to follow. The Dao comes first, the partner comes after."
"You are a good kid." Fan Qi said, "Wubing is lucky to have met you. I’m sure he didn’t listen to a word of my advice back then, right?"
"What did you advise Senior Brother?" Luo Qingyao asked curiously.
"I told him that when he meets someone worth loving for a lifetime, he mustn’t let them down or hurt them. That kid did meet such people, but there’s not just one of them." Fan Qi said, shaking his head, "I’ve always been worried, isn’t this itself a kind of harm?"
"No, it’s not. Senior Brother isn’t that kind of person!" Luo Qingyao said firmly.
Fan Qi was somewhat moved, not understanding what spell Wubing had cast on the young lady.
Luo Qingyao laughed and said, "Although I haven’t seen the Gu Lan World yet, Senior Sister Manman and I already have an agreement. We’ve agreed that if Senior Brother lets either of us down, the other will make sure he experiences what it feels like to be let down."
Fan Qi suddenly understood.
The fundamental reason was that the relationship among these young women was already very good. They could accept each other because they knew each other well; they were supportive partners. They came together because of Wubing, but their relationships with each other existed independently of Wubing.
"So that’s how you think." Fan Qi laughed, "I also think that if after all this, Wubing still manages to hurt you, then he really wouldn’t be worth anything. After all, I, Fan Qi, could never consider someone like that as a son."
"That’s a bit too much!" Luo Qingyao said hurriedly, "Senior Brother wouldn’t be not worth anything!"
"I was just speaking hypothetically."
"Oh, oh." Luo Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief.
Fan Qi asked, "If that’s the case, when are you planning to get married?"
Luo Qingyao suddenly blushed to the roots of her ears and said in a muffled voice, "We haven’t... we haven’t planned it yet. Senior Brother is very busy, after all. And... Senior Sister Manman and Senior Sister Gu Lan also seem very busy."
Fan Qi laughed and asked, "You don’t intend to get married together, do you?"
"That’s...right." Luo Qingyao said quietly, lowering her head, "Senior Sister Manman came before me, and she’s been taking care of us... How could I possibly go before her..."
Fan Qi raised his eyebrows slightly. He thought to himself, this child is still too naive in this regard, considering too little.
He knew well that Fu Manman is the Little Freedom Official of the White Jade Capital, and Gu Lan is most likely the successor of He Yue Village... These two identities destined them to be representative figures of their factions. Such prominent figures marrying the same person together? From any faction’s perspective, it was hard to accept.
So, thinking from a father’s perspective, the simple idea was to let Wubing marry Luo Qingyao.
A match made in heaven, perfectly justified.
As for Fu Manman and Gu Lan... as long as they were not officially married to Wubing, privately, no one would talk about their relationship. But would the two of them feel aggrieved?
Fan Qi felt a bit troubled.
It’s normal for a father to consider his son’s lifelong happiness.
But his son’s situation is abnormal!
The ideal situation would be for everyone to be together in harmony. But in reality, how many ideal situations are there?
After thinking for a while, he asked,
"So, does Qingyao want to marry Wubing?"
"I do!" Luo Qingyao answered immediately, without a moment’s hesitation.
"I mean, do you absolutely want to be his wife?"
Luo Qingyao was a little troubled, "I actually don’t mind, but my sister..."
True, with such a forceful sister in the Luo Family, there’s no way she would let her own sister suffer such grievances.
