"Yanhui was chosen to be the fourth bride of empyrean, Zhang Ming said sourly.
"Since when did you have empyrean in Ji State, Xiaoyi asked in awe.
"The empyrean arrived few months ago and will always pick seven young ladies to be his bride and surprisingly, none never returned. This time, the empyrean chosed Yanhui as his fourth bride, Zhang Ming explained in detail.
"Can we get the information of the seven girls, Qingkui asked.
"We have been trying to avoid the marriage by coming up with a plan but the wedding is in three days time, we are helpless, Yanhui said helplessly.
"Why not like this, let's meet the girls first, we can come up with a plan, Xiaoyi said and six ladies came out from their hiding.
Everyone scanned the ladies before Xiaoyi's eyes lit up.
"What about we replace you guys, Xiaoyi said scanning the girls figure.
"No, that's too dangerous, Lu Yi opposed almost immediately.
"Why not. We can fight, at least better off than the weak girls, Xiaoyi said while Qi Jingyue face paled.
"We should get a better plan. Can only you face Taotie, who are you trying to murder, Jingyue said rolling her eyes at Xiaoyi.
"Xiaoyi's plan is the most suitable right now but too risky, how about I adjust the plan a little,Lu Yi said after little consideration.
"I will replace Xiaoyi and Liu Jin will also replace one of the girls, Lu Yi said with great corcern and Liu Jin sighed in grievance.
"I will also replace one of the girls, am not a coward, Li Yan said arrogantly.
"Let my sister and I stay behind, Jingyue suggested.
"Then why did you follow us here, to be an onlooker, Xiaoyi sneered.
"We can't even guarantee our safety if you and your sister are left behind, Peng Peng said angry at Jingyue lazy behavior.
"You...., Jingyue was short of words.
"Alright, let share this equally. No one is replacing me, I'll go. I am not a coward, Xiaoyi said as Jingyue face turned from purple to blue.
"Jingyue, you are going with us, your sister can wait behind. Youyue, Qingkui, Liao Man and sly white fox are waiting behind, Xiaoyi added.
"Who are you calling sly white fox, Xiaoting rushed at Xiaoyi in fury.
"I didn't mention names but am glad you were able to identify yourself, Xiaoyi retorted before taking a sip of her tea.
Lu Yi was pretty disturbed by Liu Jin's kick reminder.
"That's settled then, Peng Peng said and everyone concurred.
Zhang Ming prepared rooms for everyone staying as night quickly drew in. Xiaoyi and Yanhui began to catch up while stargazing.
"I just left just a few hours and you are already so intimate with him, Xiaoyi teased.
"He seems honest, loyal, resourceful. He could be considered a pretty good aide, Yanhui said with a pretty serious tone.
"So you like him, Xiaoyi inquied in disbelief.
"I should be asking if you like Lu Yi, Yanhui tried changing the topic.
"I don't know, Xiaoyi expressed honestly.
"I don't want to mix up the feeling of kindness with that of love, maybe am still too young, Xiaoyi said staring deep at the sky.
"Though we treat each other pretty well and I also had some feelings I didn't have before but I don't believe I am in love with him just because of that, Xiaoyi said resolutely.
"Look at you, being so quick to clear the suspicious air. He likes you and it would be best if you consider him, he is quite a good catch, Yanhui tried convincing Xiaoyi.
"He doesn't. There are some bitter truth you know, caring is not love, Xiaoyi said gazing with loneliness.
"Let put all these matters behind, drink, Yanhui said raising her cup.
"Alright, Xiaoyi said and drank in full.
The next morning, everyone was fully awake and the other six girls came visiting.
"I have come to deliver the wedding dress, a man in mask said holding a wedding dress.
Yanhui met the man with a smile which froze after a while.
"You are to get into the bridal sedan tomorrow, the man said.
