“She isn’t married?” Yun Che asked.

He wasn’t expecting to find Situ Xuan in the Situ residence. At her age, she should’ve gotten married and been living together with her husband a long time ago.

“S-she is not, Spiritual Master Yun.” Situ Nan explained, “Xuan’er was born with a birth defect. She was okay during the first eighteen years, but on the day she was going to marry the son of the governor of Yuwen City, her illness suddenly reared its ugly head and… we have been housing and nursing her since. Her illness is so severe that we dare not neglect her health even to this day.”

“Finally! It’s done!”
