Chapter 2283: Enlightened One

"Senior Tian, you’ve been at our place for over a hundred years at this point, but it feels like I am the only one who knows you," Xie Mey remarked when she visited him one day to talk about her latest training session outside the palace.

"That’s probably because you are the only one who approaches and talks to me," Tian Yang said.

After a slight pause, he continued, "Madam Chao, too, I guess."

"Do you have no interest in the others? Is that why you’re not making efforts to know them?" Xie Mey then asked.

Tian Yang shrugged and said, "Although I see them in the halls from time to time, they have never even tried to speak with me. Hell, even their greetings are done in silence. But honestly, I don’t feel bothered by it—probably because I don’t really care."

"Is that so...? Well, that works in my favor," Xie Mey chuckled. "It means I get to keep you all to myself."

She suddenly scanned the room and then asked, "Where’s Senior Ren? She’s usually here whenever I visit."

"She recently started studying alchemy, so she spends most of her time with Madam Chao now."

"So she’s finally bored with you, huh?" Xie Mey teased.

Before he could respond, she continued, "Say, have you ever thought about accepting another wife?"

"No, I can’t say that I have. Where is this coming from?" Tian Yang looked at her with raised eyebrows.

Xie Mey let out a soft chuckle. "Because I’ve considered becoming your partner."

"Huh?" Tian Yang blinked, startled.

"Why are you so surprised?" she asked, amused by his reaction. "I’m a perfectly healthy young woman. It’s only natural for thoughts like that to cross my mind."

"It isn’t the thought itself that concerns me—it’s who you’re thinking about." Tian Yang sighed.

"Why me? I am your father’s sworn brother, you know?"

"So what? You’re not actually his brother. And you’re the only man close to me who isn’t part of my own family."

Not knowing how to handle her boldness, Tian Yang quickly changed the subject.

"Have you... spoken to your father about this? If not, you really should..."

Xie Mey smiled. "So you’re saying that as long as he approves, you’ll accept me?"

"What? How did you twist my words into that?" Tian Yang sighed.

Xie Mey chuckled, "It sure is fun messing with you, Senior Tian. Anyway, I was just joking with you."

Tian Yang was speechless.
