Mochou turned away silently.

Stubbornly, she gave herself no room for retreat.

The limping girl, tears in her eyes, limped out of the Lu Family Manor and left.

Although she had long known that something like this would happen, Lu Wushuang had never dared to imagine it. She only wanted to be silly and happy by his side. However, Lu Wushuang never expected that things would come so quickly and so suddenly.

At this moment, Lu Wushuang envied the person on the stage, wishing it was her instead of the Crimson Fairy.

"..."

Wiping her eyes several times, Lu Wushuang pursed her lips and whistled a cheerful tune—Huan Qin, and left the Lu Family Manor with tears streaming down her face.

She wanted to find a quiet place to stay for a while.

After a while.

Yue Yuan's gaze moved from Lu Wushuang's back, and the Crimson Fairy Li Mochou also saw her little disciple Lu Wushuang's figure. However, at this moment, the Crimson Fairy was still in a daze, so Li Mochou had no other thoughts.

For Li Mochou, the excitement caused by Yue Yuan's actions had not subsided but had become even stronger.

Although there was some noise around, it did not affect each person's thoughts.

Bending down to pick up the Moonless Sword, Yue Yuan placed it back on the Crimson Fairy Li Mochou's back. Watching Yue Yuan's actions, Yang Guo felt his lips start to twitch.

A discerning person could see that Yue Yuan's actions were merely to provide additional protection for the Crimson Fairy. However, in Yang Guo's eyes, Yue Yuan's actions seemed to have been like this all along.

Seeing this, Yang Guo was certain that Yue Yuan's sword was not lost but probably given to the Crimson Fairy.

Didn't you see how the Crimson Fairy stood there quietly, allowing Yue Yuan to act?

Guo Jing and Huang Rong exchanged a glance, both seeing a strange emotion in each other's eyes, a mix of sighs and sighs.

In Guo Jing's view, the Crimson Fairy was not suitable for Yue Yuan.

Yue Yuan, the golden-robed Taoist, left a good impression on him. In their confrontation, he knew that Yue Yuan was also a top expert. However, taking on the Crimson Fairy's sins and bringing in a top expert in lightness skills and a powerful Crimson Fairy was a very worthwhile move for the anti-Mongol cause.

Guo Jing was under immense pressure, and the Heroic Assembly to elect an anti-Mongol alliance leader was held to address this. This shows how dire the situation Guo Jing faced was.

The subsequent events developed smoothly, but due to the commotion caused by Yue Yuan, the Crimson Fairy, Yang Guo, and Xiaolongnü, the Heroic Assembly took a strange turn. The Golden Wheel Dharma King, seeking a breakthrough, left the Lu Family Manor with a group of people amid the laughter of the heroes.

Faced with this situation, the Golden Wheel Dharma King had no confidence. As the Mongol Imperial Preceptor, he was not a fool. In the current situation, the Mongols had no advantage, especially with a sword that could cut through iron like butter. After much thought, the Golden Wheel Dharma King temporarily abandoned his original plan.

Thus, the Mongol provocation ended without any result. Similarly, the Heroic Assembly also ended without any result.

Of course, the alliance leader still belonged to Guo Jing, a position no one could take away.

The abrupt end of the Heroic Assembly forced many to suppress their hatred. Among them, the Wu brothers were the most affected. After the assembly, they did not give Yue Yuan and the Crimson Fairy any good looks.

Of course, Yue Yuan and Li Mochou did not care at all.

Originally, Yue Yuan wanted to leave the Lu Family Manor with Li Mochou to deal with other matters, but Guo Jing and Huang Rong invited them.

Faced with this situation, Yue Yuan thought for a moment and accepted the invitation. Then, his gaze fell on the Crimson Fairy beside him.

"Um!"

Meeting Yue Yuan's inquiring gaze, the Crimson Fairy's face turned slightly red, and she nodded. At this moment, the Crimson Fairy seemed very quiet, far from the cold and ruthless person she used to be. Li Mochou would still daydream from time to time when idle.

This was not unexpected.

For the Crimson Fairy, Yue Yuan's actions were like a woman who loves money but has never been noticed by a rich and handsome man. One day, a handsome young man arrived in a luxurious car and gave her a fist-sized diamond. The shock to that money-loving woman was like Li Mochou's current situation.

Unlike others, the Crimson Fairy lacked love and a man to protect her.

No matter how ruthless the Crimson Fairy was, it was just a protective shell after her heart was hurt, like a walnut. Yue Yuan, with the Moonless Sword that could cut through iron, had peeled away this protective shell, revealing the tender walnut inside.

The shock to her heart made Li Mochou seem a bit lost.

Hong Lingbo looked at Yue Yuan, then at her master, the Crimson Fairy, and finally at their matching robes—one golden and one apricot yellow, complementing each other beautifully.

Scratching her head, it was unclear what Hong Lingbo was thinking.

After greeting the Quanzhen disciples, Guo Jing and Huang Rong, Yang Guo, and Xiaolongnü, Yue Yuan took the Crimson Fairy and Hong Lingbo to the room arranged by Lu Guanying. Although the Quanzhen Sect and the Beggar Clan had made a commitment, this was only a consensus among the leaders. Other sects might not think the same.

At this moment, the Crimson Fairy Li Mochou was not suitable to appear before them. After all, awkwardness is not easily dispelled, and hatred takes time to truly resolve.

In the room.

Hong Lingbo sat quietly on the side, while the Crimson Fairy sat silently at the table, silent.

Yue Yuan smiled and sat beside her. Seeing the Crimson Fairy's quiet reaction, Yue Yuan knew he had entered her heart, and the name Lu Zhan yuan would be completely replaced by Yue Yuan.

However, the sudden encounter and the events that had just occurred seemed too dreamlike to the Crimson Fairy. They had taken a crucial step, but at this moment... the room's atmosphere became quiet.

After a long while.

The Crimson Fairy, who had been sitting quietly, picked up a cup from the table, slowly poured a cup of tea, and said, "You're injured!"

"Huh?"

Yue Yuan was taken aback, then chuckled, "How could that be!"

"..."

Li Mochou said nothing, just gently pushed the tea to Yue Yuan and stared at him expressionlessly.

"I have such good lightness skills and strong powers. I don't even care about your Ice Soul Silver Needles! Although Guo Jing is a great martial artist, I'm not bad either!"

Yue Yuan lowered his head, gently tapping the teacup, and sipped the tea, saying, "Since I entered the martial world, I've been carefree. How could I be injured by Guo Jing? Didn't you see earlier? I was the one hitting him! He couldn't hit me!"

Looking at Li Mochou, Yue Yuan turned his head and smiled, "Lingbo must have seen clearly..."

"I saw it!"

Without looking away, Li Mochou replied calmly.

Suddenly, Yue Yuan's words stopped. He remembered that the Crimson Fairy had been standing beside him when he used the fan to cover his face.

"Chu..."

Yue Yuan blinked, glanced at the ceiling, and then said helplessly, "Alright, I am indeed injured!"

PS2: Speaking of which, which reader marked the female lead as a loose woman? The Crimson Fairy still has her maidenhood, while the opposite is true for Xiaolongnü in the book.
