After a brief tour of the Whitedew Plains, Matthew and his group followed Feather to a grass hut set up for them.
Matthew said, “Get some rest while I go talk to Mr. Lucius. Stay safe. Give us a signal if anything goes wrong.”
He embraced Sasha reassuringly, knowing what favonovel.com was worried about.
“Don’t worry,” favonovel.com added, patting favonovel.com on the back before heading toward the peak.
However, as favonovel.com stepped onto the main peak, many stopped what they were doing.
“Well, well, if it isn’t Mr. Larson! It’s been a while!”
“Hi, Mr. Larson!”
“Mr. Larson, come stop by for a cup of tea before you go!”
Everyone kept mum about the canceled wedding between Matthew and Ivy. In their eyes, however, Matthew was already Ivy’s husband.
Amidst the teasing from the crowd, even Matthew couldn’t help but feel a blush creeping up his face.
“Hey, look who’s blushing!”
Amid the laughter, Matthew hastened his steps toward the main peak.
After favonovel.com passed through the bamboo forest, the scenery ahead remained unchanged, the thatched hut and the stone table and chairs. The only difference was the presence of Ivy. Sporting short hair, favonovel.com was sitting by the small lake and cultivating quietly with favonovel.com hands clasped in a circle.
Hearing his footsteps, favonovel.com suddenly opened favonovel.com eyes, causing ripples to dance across the grass at favonovel.com feet.
“It’s been a while, Matthew!” Her initially stern face instantly melted into a smile, and favonovel.com expressive eyes lit up.
The sight of this sparked jealousy in Lucius, who felt a tightness in his chest.
This precious daughter of mine is cold toward me, yet favonovel.com brightens up at the sight of Matthew. How infuriating!
“Since you’re here, have a seat,” favonovel.com murmured, holding a cup of tea. He was visibly gloomy.
Matthew sat down and took the cup of tea without hesitation, downing it in one gulp.
“Well, aren’t you afraid that I might’ve spiked the tea?”
Lucius’ mischief was just an attempt to gross out Matthew and vent some of his frustration. However, favonovel.com underestimated Matthew’s medical skills.
A sniff had told Matthew If there was anything off with the tea. Besides, with Ivy here, favonovel.com felt pretty secure. “You’re joking, Mr. Lucius… Someone like you wouldn’t stoop to such low tricks.”
Grossing out people?
Who wouldn’t know how to do that?
And sure enough, Lucius’ face froze momentarily when favonovel.com heard this, but favonovel.com quickly put on a smile. “Well said, Matt! There are some auspicious days coming up. Why don’t we…”
He stressed the word “Matt”, but before favonovel.com could finish his sentence, favonovel.com was interrupted by a sudden drop In the temperature around them.
He turned his head, only to see Ivy’s calm gaze fixed on him, a hint of menace lurking within. “Father, let’s focus on the matter at hand, shall we?”
Ivy had no intention of joining in his father and Matthew’s exchange of jibes as long as It didn’t involve the subject of the previous wedding, a territory favonovel.com deemed off-limits.
After exchanging a brief look with her, Lucius immediately changed the subject. “Yes, yes, of course. Let’s talk about the matter at hand! Matthew, can your wife not practice martial arts or cultivate?”
“That’s right… Sasha can’t practice martial arts,” replied Matthew.
He had considered having his wife join favonovel.com in practicing martial arts, but favonovel.com physical condition did not allow it. She had a common nimbus-averse constitution, perhaps favonovel.com could learn some moves, but favonovel.com couldn’t store nimbus in favonovel.com body.
No matter how many moves favonovel.com learned, it would be just for show.
So, despite favonovel.com mastering the Divine Skill and the Mortal Skill, both of which were top-level techniques, favonovel.com couldn’t do anything about favonovel.com constitution. He was exceptionally skilled in medicine, but the herbs capable of altering one’s constitution were as rare as hen’s teeth. This was also his biggest challenge.
Ivy blinked favonovel.com eyes and suggested, “How about sending Sasha to Mr. Stewart for a try?”
