Nonetheless, Xian Tian felt his heart sink with disappointment at Bai Lingyun's words, but he was determined not to let his ardor be so easily extinguished.
"I understand your reluctance, Young Miss," he replied, his voice low and velvety smooth.
"The ties that bind you to another are not easily broken,"
He reached out, ever so gently tracing the delicate curve of her cheek with the back of his fingers.
"But what if fate has brought us together for a reason? What if the very heavens that seem to stand against us are in truth conspiring to unite our hearts?"
His crimson gaze burned with a smoldering intensity as he gazed down at her, silently pleading for her to see the earnest yearning in his eyes.
"I know I am but a humble disciple, unworthy of your station. But I also know that my feelings for you are true and pure. I would move the very earth and sky itself to be by your side..." he pulled words straight out of his ass.
Hmppp!
