At the other end of the Luo Mansion in the capital city, Luo Yunxiao was standing in the study, holding a book of martial arts techniques in his hands, but his mind was clearly elsewhere.
A servant hurriedly entered and whispered, "Young master, there's news from the Xiao Xiang Building. The first night of Shen Mengrou, the courtesan, will be publicly auctioned off tomorrow night to the highest bidder."
Upon hearing this news, Luo Yunxiao angrily threw the scripture in his hand and exclaimed, "What? Is this true?"
"Absolutely, young master."
Afterwards, Luo Yunxiao walked firmly into the lobby of his own martial arts hall, where he was met with a group of older and dignified martial arts elders.
"I have decided, I am going to marry Shen Mengrou," Luo Yunxiao said bluntly.
A burst of exclamation sounded, and the elders in the family looked displeased.
"Luo Yunxiao, your proposal is simply absurd! Our Luo family is a reputable martial arts family, how can we associate with such a woman!" an elderly elder reprimanded sternly.
Luo Yunxiao stood in a corner of the hall, expressionless but with a hint of anger in his eyes: "Elders, Shen Mengrou is someone I know. She shouldn't have to go through this. If I don't marry her, she will be disgraced."
"That's her fate, it has nothing to do with the Luo family," the elder said coldly.
Luo Yunxiao gritted his teeth and turned away.
Xiao Xiang Building, where there is peace and prosperity, feathers flying and turning green, and a group of young men and women in splendid attire surging. Under the night sky, the red lanterns sway, the sound of musical instruments and singing fills the air, and the incense is flourishing. However, a notice with the words "First Night of the Courtesan" has caused a great uproar in the capital, stirring up a huge commotion in the building.
Not every face bears a sincere smile, especially at the large bidding event to be held tomorrow night. Shen Mengrou stands by the window, the curtains half-drawn, revealing a brightly lit courtyard with fluttering banners. The soft moonlight shines on her face, like a faint frost.
The old lady in the building, under the temptation of heavy money and the pressure exerted by the aristocratic children, decided to auction off Shen Mengrou's first night.
" Shen Mengrou, are you sure you won't come with me?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the door.
" Hua Li Wu Xiang, forget it." Shen Mengrou responded, a smile frozen in her words, yet with a hint of unwavering indifference.
Hua Li Wu Xiang clenched his fists, sighed, and walked away.
"Miss..." Beside her, the maid Xiao Nan couldn't help but shed tears.
"Xiao Nan, don't be sad. Living in this mortal world, none of us are masters of our own lives. This day was bound to come sooner or later, and I have long been prepared for it," Shen Mengrou said as she gently wiped away Xiao Nan's tears with a handkerchief.
Suddenly, the door of the Xiao Xiang Building was forcefully pushed open, and a man in a dark robe stepped in. It was Luo Yunxiao. His gaze was deep and inscrutable, but determined.
"I'm here, Shen Mengrou."
Shen Mengrou heard the voice and showed surprise on his face, but quickly regained his composure. "What are you doing here, Luo Yunxiao?"
"I've come to find you and take you away."
Shen Mengrou She chuckled lightly, "You know as well as I do that this isn't a place you can come and go as you please. How could you possibly take me away?"
Luo Yunxiao walked up to her, looked deeply into her eyes, and said, "Even if I have to cross mountains and seas, I will make sure you regain your freedom."
"Do you know that the old lady at Xiao Xiang Building has already announced my loss of virginity? This is an irreversible fact."
"Nothing is irreversible, unless you are unwilling."
Shen Mengrou Looking at him, a sincere smile finally appeared on her face. "Okay, I believe you. So how do we leave here?"
Just as Luo Yunxiao was about to speak, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Before long, a group of people in white rushed in.
"Luo Yunxiao, what is the meaning of this?" The leader of the group in white is an elder of the Luo family.
"Elder, if a family's honor is built on the sacrifice of the innocent, then what meaning does that honor have?"
The elder sneered, "Is that your choice?"
Shen Mengrou tightly clenched her fist, feeling a mix of unease and regret churning inside her. As she watched the two about to face off, she knew deep down that once swords were drawn, the outcome would only worsen.
"Luo Yunxiao, perhaps the elder has his reasons. I don't want my presence to cause a rift between you and the family."
The elder sneered, "Did you hear that? Even she understands. Why are you so stubborn?"
Luo Yunxiao remained unmoved, turning to look at Shen Mengrou, "If I said I would rather sacrifice my family's honor than see you suffer, what would you say?"
Shen Mengrou's eyes showed a hint of emotion, but then she fell silent, "I... I don't know either."
At this moment, a hint of determination flashed in the elder's eyes, "Luo Yunxiao, if you dare to defy the family, you know the consequences."
Luo Yunxiao took a deep breath, determination flashing in his eyes. "If the dignity of the family needs to be maintained at the cost of a woman's suffering, then I would rather not have this kind of dignity!"
The elder couldn't contain his anger. "In that case, don't blame me for disregarding sentiment!"
As soon as the words fell, the elder brandished his sword and instantly sword energy flew horizontally, cutting through the air and producing a sharp whistling sound. The situation instantly became extremely tense.
Luo Yunxiao, however, remained calm and composed. With a gentle wave of the long sword in his hand, he turned the elder's sword energy into nothingness. Then, with a flash of sword light in his hand, he instantly appeared behind the elder.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, the elder was struck as if by a heavy blow, and he flew out, crashing heavily into a screen on the floor.
There was silence all around, as everyone was intimidated by Luo Yunxiao's strength.
" Shen Mengrou, let's go," Luo Yunxiao turned around and looked deeply at Shen Mengrou.
Shen Mengrou stood for a moment, then sighed, "Okay, I'll go with you."
She tightly held Luo Yunxiao's hand, and the two of them turned into a stream of light, disappearing into Xiao Xiang Building.
From a distance, Hua Li Wu Xiang stood in a dark corner, silently watching them leave, a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes.
The turmoil in the capital has not subsided, and the bidding for the Xiao Xiang Building has become chaotic due to Shen Mengrou's disappearance.
" Hua Li Wu Xiang, is this all your doing?" The boss lady of Xiao Xiang Building glared at the young man in front of her.
" Hua Li Wu Xiang sneered, "You're dreaming. Although I really want to save Shen Mengrou, this time it wasn't me who did it."
Shen Mengrou and Luo Yunxiao left Xiao Xiang Building and stepped onto a dark alley in the sleepless city.
The moonlight is like water, shining on Shen Mengrou and Luo Yunxiao. The two of them are closely intertwined, walking in the alleys of the capital city, disappearing into the distance.
However, they both understand that this is just the beginning of the third cycle. Next, they have more destinies and choices waiting for them.
At that moment, Shen Mengrou suddenly felt something shaking in her arms. She quickly took it out and saw that it was a shimmering purple stone - the second Destiny Stone!
Luo Yunxiao felt a warmth in her heart, finally realizing that, regardless of past lives or present, the most difficult thing in this world is to maintain the original purity with oneself and the beloved amidst the ever-changing world.
" Shen Mengrou, you have to remember, no matter when or where, I will find you."
Shen Mengrou tears streaming down his face, holding him tightly, "I know, I will find you too."
Luo Yunxiao smiled, then slowly closed his eyes.
The moonlight shone on them, like a final blessing, and also like a promise for the next life.
