Chapter 3532 — All Tied, Then

Besides, Xue Li was one of the two friends she chatted with most. Xue Li had been wary of Wei Zhao before, but that had been for Snow Valley's sake; now that Xue Li and Wei Zhao shared this bond, Tang Zhi felt instead that there would be no more obstacles between herself and Wei Zhao.
"Yunyun, you... why don't you scold me? The truth is... it wasn't that I had no choice. It's that I think Wei Zhao is actually quite wonderful—there's an indescribable pull to him..." Xue Li said.
"Forget it. In Snow Valley you and I were like sisters; it's nothing. You and I are no longer women of the mundane world, and my thinking has changed a great deal too. So long as everyone gets along, that's enough," Tang Zhi said with a shake of her head.
Back in the mundane world she had still been competitive, wanting to be Wei Zhao's chief wife and the like, but now, on reflection, that was only a title. Perhaps it was also the Ruthless Art that had changed her temperament.
Xue Li had not expected Tang Zhi to let the matter slide so easily, and was thoroughly astonished! But seeing Tang Zhi's sincere expression, with no trace of pretense, Xue Li finally relaxed.
In her view, the greatest obstacle to being with Wei Zhao was Tang Zhi. If Tang Zhi had no objection, then there was no problem at all. What others thought, Xue Li did not care.
With that weight lifted from her mind, Xue Li became cheerful and chatted with Tang Zhi the whole way, until Tang Zhi discovered what a talker Xue Li really was...
"Oh oh oh oh oh, Sister Yaoyao, see, I told you! That Xue Li from Snow Valley is no good—a smoldering fox spirit, seducing Arrow-Brand Bro! The older she gets, the more shameless she becomes! An old cow grazing on tender grass!" Shen Yushu said to Gu Mengyao.
"All right, Xiaoshu. Yunyun hasn't said anything, so don't you go bristling either," Gu Mengyao said, patting Shen Yushu's little hand. "Besides, Xue Li still looks very young, about our age. Heaven-rank experts don't bother about age anymore—the years of cultivation ahead are unimaginably long, and some people forget how old they are themselves."
"Fine, Sister Yaoyao, but you're the chief wife! You should exercise your authority as chief wife!" Shen Yushu urged.
"Yunyun has sacrificed more than I have," Gu Mengyao said.
"Then just tie them all!" Shen Yushu had no wish for Gu Mengyao to play second fiddle to anyone—nor Tang Zhi either, though her bond with Tang Zhi, close as it was, was not as close as with Gu Mengyao.
"Heh heh, all right then," Gu Mengyao said, thinking it a rather good idea that would hurt no one's feelings.
"But what if someone else competes too?" Shen Yushu asked, a little worried.
"Then we'll tie them all as well," Gu Mengyao said with a laugh.RS
