Oh no! My online romance partner is actually a Miao holy maiden!

Xu Qin gracefully took out two red banknotes from her bag and slammed them onto the table with a thud.

"This meal is split equally; I'll pay for my portion. Keep the rest for yourself. Go see a neurologist at the hospital and check if your feudalistic remnants have seeped into your bones. Goodbye, don't bother seeing me out."

After saying that, Xu Qin picked up her bag and strode away amidst the respectful gazes of all the restaurant staff and customers.

The man remained where he was, his face ashen, and remained silent for a long time.

Xu Qin had just stepped out of the restaurant and gotten into her car when Xu Yi called.

She answered the call casually, "Hey, what's up? Your sister just finished a solo kill of the feudal remnants and is having a blast."

"Sis, can I borrow your car for a bit?" Xu Yi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Borrow a car? Where to? Can you even drive with your shoulder?"

"It's open. I'm going to find Ling'er."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

Xu Qin's smile faded, and her eyes showed a hint of relief.

Her younger brother has finally come to his senses!

Ling'er is such a wonderful girl. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also incredibly kind to this brat.

"Are you looking for Ling'er?" Xu Qin asked.

"Um."

"Go for it! Your older sister supports you! What era are we living in? Why are you still using this 'forced marriage' tactic? Can't we have free love anymore?"

"I despise those guys who bully honest people just because they have some power. By the way, if Ling'er's older brother dares to lay a hand on you again, you can just lie down. I'll immediately find you the best lawyer in all of Jiangcheng, and I'll sue him until he pays back his underwear, or I'm not a Xu!"

Xu Yi listened to this on the other end of the phone, feeling both amused and touched, but also warmed up inside.

"Sis, this matter... isn't really her brother's fault. They have their own rules there."

"Alright, stop trying to whitewash them." Xu Qin pulled down the handbrake.

"Where are you? I'll drive the car over to you right now. Want your sis to come with you? More people means more strength. If all else fails, I'll go up and help you take him down!"

"No, I can go by myself. This isn't a fight. I caused this mess, I can handle it myself."

Xu Yi quickly refused.

I'm really afraid of my older sister's personality...

He still hasn't told his older sister Bai Ling'er her true identity.

Let's wait until he's completely settled things with the Bai family before we find an opportunity to slowly tell my older sister and parents.

It's still far from certain, so let's not talk about it yet, so as not to worry them.

"Alright, then go by yourself. But you should be polite."

As Xu Qin shifted gears, she instructed, "Although we are just an ordinary family, we can't lose our manners. I'll transfer 80,000 yuan to you via WeChat in a bit. When you go to their house, buy them some high-end wine and cigarettes. Don't go empty-handed, understand?"

Since her family isn't happy with you right now, you need to be even more attentive and attentive when you're on their turf. You can't hit someone who's smiling, you know?

"Okay, sis, thank you. I'll head out now and wait for you at our usual spot."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yi took a deep breath.

The notification sound for the transfer of 80,000 yuan soon rang.

Looking at the balance in his WeChat Wallet, he tightened his grip on his phone slightly.

But this is not enough.

He didn't even know where Shenyue Village was.

Xu Yi leaned against a lamppost by the roadside, thought for a moment, and finally found Bai Lan in his WeChat contacts.

The man smiled like a fox, mostly as a spectator.

But Xu could also sense it.

With that rigid and irritable Bai Que.

Compared to the unreliable Shirano.

Bai Lan is the only one in the Bai family who is quick-witted and can communicate normally with the outside world.

He is a smart man, and smart people are often the most open-minded.

Xu Yi took a deep breath and typed rapidly on the screen with his left hand.

Xu Yi: Second Brother Bai, how is Ling'er?

About five minutes passed after the message was sent.

Just as he was about to lose his temper and make the call, the other end finally replied with two words.

Bai Lan: What?

It may seem indifferent, but the willingness to reply is a signal.

Xu Yi: Could you send me the exact location of your village? I want to go see her. No matter what the rules are, I want to try.

This time, the other side responded quickly, sending a location and a message along with it.

Bai Lan: Okay, I've sent you the location.

Bai Lan: But you'd better hurry up, or my little sister will be engaged to the young master of another village.

-

Thousands of miles away, in Shenyue Village, in the Bai Family Hall.

Bai Lan put her phone away, a smile playing on her lips.

The real show is about to begin!

Bai Que, who was sitting to the side, seemed to have noticed something, and his sharp gaze instantly swept over.

Bai Lan remained expressionless and casually put her phone into her pocket.

He continued chatting idly with Ning Qifeng next to him.

However, the old lady sitting in the main seat had very sharp eyes.

Based on her understanding of her several lively sons.

The second son's smile definitely means he's brewing some wicked scheme again.

The old woman stood up without making a sound, gave Bai Lan a wink, and then made an excuse to walk towards the inner hall.

Bai Lan understood and followed him out unsteadily.

There was no one in the inner hall corridor.

The mother stopped, turned around, crossed her arms, looked at her second son, and said with a half-smile, "Second son, what good news is there? Tell your mother so she can hear it too. You're smiling like a rat that's stolen oil."

Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Bai Lan simply shrugged.

"Mother, you are wise. You probably guessed it long ago, didn't you? That Han boy from outside the mountains finally couldn't resist. Just now, he asked me for our village's address on WeChat."

"You gave it to him?"

"Here you go, I sent the location clearly, and I even added a text note for him on how to get there most fuel-efficiently." Bai Lan raised an eyebrow.

"However... Mother, as you know, Shenyue Village isn't so easy to get into. Even if he can follow the navigation to the foot of the mountain and get in, he'll have to go through that road."

At this point, Bai Lan's expression turned slightly serious, and her gaze fell on the suspension bridge hanging between two solitary peaks deep within the stilted building.

The Bridge of Ten Thousand Gu.

"That's the rule for Han people entering the village, and it's also the unwritten rule of our Miao villages for thousands of years."

Bai Lan's joking expression vanished.

"Since he wants to see his younger sister and take the Bai family's saintess away, it's not something he can do by simply sending a few roses and saying a few sweet words in the city."

Whether facing his elder brother's fists internally or the mouths of more than a dozen village elders externally, he had to cross the Ten Thousand Gu Bridge with his own feet!

Looking at the Wan Gu Bridge, which was faintly visible in the clouds and mist in the distance, the old woman could only sigh softly in the end.

"Let's see if this scholar from outside the mountains is as tough as he claims."

How much genuine affection does he truly have for Ling'er?

"If he can do even half of what your father did, then he'll pass the test."

Bai Lan whispered, "Mom, it seems like Ning Qifeng still has feelings for my little sister?"

Grandma rolled her eyes at Bai Lan.

"Your little sister's been in a bad mood lately, so keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't hurt anyone, it'll be hard to explain later..."

P.S.: Please, everyone, give me a little something to support me! My child is starting to chew on the keyboard, and my income has been so low lately. I can only afford one milk tea a day. It's really tough... I'm waiting for my child to be diagnosed with COVID-19!!
