Mu Qiuniang was stunned. How did the news about her leak without her hearing anything about it?
"What kind of man do you like? Is it only soone like your husband that can win your heart?"
"Uh..." Mu Qiuniang didn’t know how to respond. This was the first ti she encountered such a situation. Although she had heard, a few hundred years ago, about people sending beautiful n and won to powerful figures, she was just a small cultivator back then and wasn’t involved in such matters, so naturally, she wasn’t clear on what such things entailed.
"Why aren’t you answering ? Or are you saying, you happen not to like soone of my type?"
Mu Qiuniang felt a bit helpless, "You’re right, I do like my husband’s type, and I’ve never thought about changing that, so I’ve never considered anyone outside of him. I’m very sorry!"
"So are you rejecting ?"
"Yes, I am rejecting you!"
"Do you know what will happen to when I return to my family after being rejected by you?"
"What will happen?" Mu Qiuniang was taken aback.
"Do you think a piece of rchandise that can’t be delivered and gets returned, will be treated well?" Dongfang Hanchen asked her in reply.
"But you’re not rchandise, you’re a person!"
"But to my family, I’m just rchandise!" Dongfang Hanchen said seriously.
Mu Qiuniang suddenly fell silent. She genuinely didn’t know what to say.
"So are you going to send back?"
"Though I sympathize with your situation, I can’t break my principles just because of sympathy. If I make an exception for you, there will be countless others asking to bend the rules in the future!" Honestly, Mu Qiuniang actually admired him, so she sincerely apologized, "I’m sorry!"
"If ’sorry’ worked, what would be the need for police in this world?" Dongfang Hanchen chuckled, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and he relaxed, "But this is a decision true to your character."
Mu Qiuniang saw his deanor and knew he had been testing her, and she had passed.
"So should I say I’m honored to have passed your test?"
"It wasn’t exactly a test, just a desire for a clear answer, to know if you are truly the person I have in mind."
"And the result?"
"You are! But I no longer have the chance. Nevertheless, I’m glad to have a friend like you."
"Then... will there be any trouble for you when you return?" It was rare for Mu Qiuniang to et soone she got along with, and she didn’t want anything to happen to him.
"If you were easygoing and accepted , of course, I’d be fine, but then I’d be disappointed. Because you’re not the person I had in mind; I’d rather you remain devoted, and even if I’m rejected, I’ll accept it willingly."
What Dongfang Hanchen ant by accepting it willingly referred to the punishnt he was bound to face from his family after being rejected.

The movie finally wrapped, and Jiang Nuo was ecstatic because that ant he could go abroad to find his wife.
However, just then, a young man in a flamboyant red robe appeared, exuding arrogance, and pointed at Jiang Nuo, asking, "You are Jiang Nuo?"
"Yes! I am! Is there sothing you need?" Jiang Nuo was a bit puzzled.
The young man’s attitude seed rather unfriendly, and he didn’t appear to be a fan but rather soone looking for trouble.
Lu Mingchen, Mu Cheng, and others put down their work and looked over.
The young man in the red robe surveyed Jiang Nuo from head to toe, as if viewing a piece of rchandise.
"Doesn’t look impressive at all!" His tone was full of disdain.
Jiang Nuo felt sowhat helpless and dared not bicker with soone who looked barely of age, saying, "I certainly don’t look better than you!"
The young man in red was exceptionally attractive, his eyebrows turned slightly upwards, and his peach blossom eyes were electrifying. His chin was slightly raised, embodying both pride and arrogance.
His skin was fairer than a girl’s, and he wore an eye-catching red robe, his ink-black hair cascading down his back, looking like a character stepped out from a manga, brimming with youth and vitality.
"Since you realize you don’t look as good as , you should wisely step down and make way!" the young man in red said arrogantly.
"Damn! Where on earth did you pop out from? Which agency are you signed with? At such a young age, speaking with such arrogance, do you know my uncle is a movie emperor?" Mu Bai couldn’t hold back any longer, "Talking to your seniors like this, do you know the consequences?"
"Tch!" The young man in red sneered disdainfully, "He’s just an actor! If it weren’t for so looks, would he even get the position of guarding Fairy Qiu?"
Wait, was he referring to Fairy Qiu as... Jiang Nuo realized, "You ca for my wife?"
"Other than Fairy Qiu, who else do you think could make a handso lad like Lei Qianhua take action? I tell you, you’d better see the writing on the wall and leave, to spare yourself the embarrassnt of being kicked out later!"
Jiang Nuo was dumbstruck, completely uncertain of what this guy was talking about.
"Kid, haven’t even grown your hair yet, and you dare compete for my wife? You realize that I’m already married to my wife, and we’re deeply in love."
"Haha! So what if you’re married? Can’t you people divorce in the mortal world? Besides, soone of Fairy Qiu’s caliber having several n isn’t strange, is it? But that’s because I hadn’t appeared before," the young man in red declared confidently, "Now I’m here, and all of you have to step aside! I’m sure once Fairy Qiu sees , she’ll fall for at first sight and treasure ."
Jiang Nuo was speechless, wondering where this brat ca from. How did he conclude that Mu Qiuniang would fall for him at first sight?
But he did gather one fact: this young man in red wasn’t an ordinary child; he was a cultivator from the Cultivation World!
Quite possibly, he was from an influential family, and everyone pampered him, which explained his overbearing arrogance.
"Though I don’t want to discourage you, I think you’re mistaken about one thing. The one who gets to decide on this matter isn’t you or , but my wife. See, you call her Fairy Qiu, but I call her wife, and that’s the difference!"
"Hm! I was just here to give you a warning. Since you refuse to heed it, I don’t have much choice; we shall see who’s left standing in the end. Whether Fairy Qiu will choose you—an old man whose best days are behind him—or soone vibrant like remains to be seen!"
"Alright, I’ll be waiting!"
Lei Qianhua initially ca to give Jiang Nuo a lesson but didn’t expect Jiang Nuo to remain unfazed; nothing rattled him, leaving Lei Qianhua with no choice but to storm off angrily.
When he left, Mu Bai was still a bit bewildered, "So, this young man isn’t rely an industry rival of uncle, but a romantic rival as well?"
"In so sense, a romantic rival can also be considered a competitor," Mu Cheng replied.
Mu Bai glared at him, "You know perfectly well what I an!"
