The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

Soon, Li Muyang met Guan Xiaoshun, who had come to visit.

After the two met, Li Muyang was surprised to find that this simple youth from the border town seemed somewhat uneasy.

He sat on the chair but appeared as if he was sitting on hot coals, restless.

His face was full of guilt.

Li Muyang, curious, asked, "Xiaoshun? Is there something wrong?"

The two had been close since they were Outer Sect Disciples.

In the treacherous Outer Sect, these two inherently good-natured people were mysteriously drawn to each other.

Li Muyang, not one to flatter others, was especially friendly towards this simple youth.

This simple border town youth could be said to be Li Muyang's only friend in this world.

During the critical moments when his sister Li Yuechan was attacked and her life was in danger, it was Guan Xiaoshun who had busily led the way and helped, showing Li Muyang how to buy reasonably priced Spiritual Objects.

Later, he even gave all he could to support Li Muyang.

In the demonic Cultivator world, filled with deceitful hearts, such pure friendship was extremely precious.

Li Muyang would forever remember those past experiences.

Although the youth was simple, he was not foolish; he clearly understood human relationships and the dangers of the world.

Because of this, his naïve but sincere heart seemed even more precious.

Even though Li Muyang rapidly rose in station after entering the Inner Sect, their friendship did not change.

The youth, although careful, was neither overly restrained nor arrogant enough to swagger about using Li Muyang's name.

Whether Li Muyang was an Inner Sect Disciple, a Direct Disciple, or even now promoted to a highly respected position in the sect, their friendship remained as it was at the beginning.

This was the first time Li Muyang had seen the youth showing such a guilty and restless demeanor.

He was very curious.

—Did this kid get himself into some trouble?

It was the first time he had seen the youth so uneasy.

He knew that Guan Xiaoshun had always been in business; even during their Outer Sect days, Xiaoshun had earned a substantial amount of money by selling Spirit Rice and trading Spiritual Objects.

The kid had an extreme talent for business.

Not long after returning from a visit to his hometown, the youth had somehow learned Alchemy, and he was able to produce exceptionally high-quality pills.

With these pills, Guan Xiaoshun could live comfortably without Li Muyang's help.

But dealing in trade, interacting with all sorts of people, troubles with various nuisances were inevitable.

Could it be that Xiaoshun had run into trouble?

Li Muyang pondered continuously while eagerly observing Guan Xiaoshun.

After hesitating for a while, Guan Xiaoshun finally clenched his teeth and said,

"...Brother Li, I need to ask for your help with something."

Just as he finished speaking, and before Li Muyang could respond, the youth hastily added another sentence.

"Yu Chan also needs to help."

"I have a very, very important matter that I need you and Sister Yu Chan to help with."

After saying this, the youth seemed afraid that Li Muyang might disagree.

He solemnly stood up, bowed deeply to Li Muyang.

"This matter is extremely important, please, Brother Li, you must agree!"

The youth's deep bow startled Li Muyang.

He immediately got up to support Guan Xiaoshun and said, "There's no need for such a grand gesture, just speak plainly about what's on your mind."

At this moment, the youth seemed to have risked everything.

The kind of determination to stake it all surprised Li Muyang, and left him even more baffled.

He couldn't understand what matter could make this young man care so much.

After the youth was helped up by Li Muyang, confronted by Li Muyang's curious gaze, his eyes dodged for a moment.

Then, the young man lowered his head and said, "Brother Li, last year in Yunxiao City I met a lady and got acquainted with her."

"Shamefully, since meeting her, I've lost all appetite, and she is all that fills my heart and mind."

"Whenever I close my eyes, I always see her face."

"Since she left, I've constantly missed her, and even eating has lost its flavor."

"I want to marry her and bring her home, but she is a young lady from the Lu family in Jiezhou City, noble in status, unlike a commoner like me."

"In her letter, she told me that if I wish to marry her, I need a person of high status and formidable ability to go to her household and request her hand in marriage to gain her family elders' permission."

"Alternatively, she suggested that I diligently cultivate, so if I could become a Direct Disciple of our sect, I could then rightfully marry her."

At this point, the young man seemed to gain some confidence.

It seemed he had opened up, and his words flowed more naturally.

He sincerely looked at Li Muyang, saying, "I intended to endure hardships in cultivation, so when I become the Direct Disciple of the sect, I could then go to her house and marry her."

"However, not long ago, she sent me a message through Bluebird, saying that a young scion from Jiezhou City wishes to marry into her family, and her elders seem to approve of this marriage."

"She is powerless to defy her family elders, so she wants to cut off communication with me, not to meet again, and not to exchange messages through Bluebird anymore."

"In the past few days, all the letters I sent to Jiezhou City via Bluebird have been rejected by her…"

The young man spoke up to this point, somewhat dejected and lost.

The transmission of messages through Bluebirds is a fast spell used by cultivators.

With mana, a Bluebird is formed, capable of crossing thousands of miles to deliver messages to a specified person.

Unexpectedly, Guan Xiaoshun, this youth with bushy eyebrows from the frontier, had even reached the stage of secretly pledging his life to a young lady from a noble family…

Li Muyang looked at Guan Xiaoshun with surprise, a bit amused, yet somewhat realized.

"…So, you want me to go ask for her hand in marriage on your behalf, right?"

Although he had never heard of the Lu family of Jiezhou, it was, after all, just a family under the rule of the Demon Sect.

With Li Muyang's current fame and power, helping Guan Xiaoshun propose marriage was more than feasible.

Li Muyang smiled and patted Guan Xiaoshun on the shoulder, relaxing somewhat.

"It's just this? I thought it was something else. You made it seem so tense."

"This is a good thing, you should have told me earlier."

"If I had gone to propose on your behalf earlier, none of this would have happened today."

Li Muyang sat down, smiling, and said, "But proposing isn't a problem, there's just one thing I want to confirm."

Li Muyang curiously watched Guan Xiaoshun, half joking, half serious.

"You rascal, you're asking me to propose on behalf of someone else; are you truly in love with each other? Does that girl want to marry you?"

"And, is this girl really… um… suitable for you?"

Li Muyang coughed and said, "You rascal, you're honest and simple, don't get fooled by a bad woman."

"This Lu family's miss, what kind of person is she?"

Although Guan Xiaoshun understood propriety and was not a fool without emotional intelligence,

he was barely 16 years old after all.

At Li Muyang's age, just seeing some provocative images online could excite him for half the night.

At such an age, one's mind is most easily muddled by matters of love.
