After the tragic demise of Li Wei, I swiftly made my way to his residence to deliver the news of his untimely passing. Upon reaching his abode, my eyes beheld a resplendent figure, reminiscent of a royal highness—a vision of exquisite grace and elegance. Startled by my fixed gaze, the maiden appeared to misconstrue my intentions, letting out a shrill cry and summoning her retinue to expel me from their midst.
Just as the guards moved to escort me away, a voice interjected, halting their advance.
"Cease! Why do you seek to harm our visitor, Tian Wuji?" The utterance of my name rendered me motionless.
The speaker continued, "Tian Wuji is the betrothed of my daughter, the esteemed Ling Xiaolong."
With those words, a profound bewilderment washed over me, casting a veil of perplexity upon my thoughts.
