Chapter 272: First Meeting at Fengling Ferry, One Encounter with Yang Guo Ruins a Lifetime (Seeking Collections and Subscriptions)
"No way... Did Mr. Su just say that Young Lady Guo Er will remain unmarried?"
"Unbelievable! Given Young Lady Guo Er's family background and beauty, such a thing is impossible, isn't it?"
"I heard that Hero Guo originally intended to marry Young Lady Guo Er to Song Song Qingshu of Mount Mount Wudang... but as you all know, Song Song Qingshu is likely ruined now, so hoping to marry Young Lady Guo Er will be very difficult! Even if the Old Immortal personally pleads the case, it is absolutely impossible!"
"Regardless, with Young Lady Guo Er's qualifications, is there any fear of not finding a husband in this entire Wu Lin? Impossible!"
Upon hearing Su Hang's words, Guo Xiang felt utterly devastated!
She had not heard wrong; just moments ago, the fortune teller Mr. Su had personally stated that she would remain unmarried!
Unmarried...
For a pure young maiden, could there be any words more vicious than these?
Thinking of this, Guo Xiang stamped her foot in anger, her face flushed as she shouted:
"How could this young lady remain unmarried?"
"Four-nine-zero."
"You had better explain yourself clearly!"
In Guo Xiang's view, whether regarding family background or appearance, she was first-rate within the Wu Lin.
How could she possibly remain unmarried?
When her older sister Guo Fu came of age, the threshold of their home was nearly trampled flat by matchmakers; how could it be that for her, she would become someone who cannot marry?
Looking at the flushed-faced Guo Xiang before him, Su Hang said:
"Miss Xiang, please do not misunderstand,"
"When I said you would remain unmarried, it was not because no one wants you,"
"On the contrary, given Miss Xiang's qualifications, there are many talented young men in the Wu Lin who admire you."
"If Miss Xiang were willing to lower her standards or compromise slightly, you would certainly marry into a good family."
Speaking thus, Su Hang paused briefly before continuing:
"But Miss Xiang, you love freedom above all and are unwilling to be bound by the outdated rules and vulgar customs of this mortal world..."
"Therefore, given your personality, you will not listen to your parents, nor to your elders; you will only listen to yourself..."
"If your parents try to control you, you will definitely disobey; if they try to stop you, you might even run away from home."
"Thus, this hardly requires divination or character analysis; Miss Xiang will ultimately choose the one she loves."
Flushing red, Guo Xiang murmured to herself:
"That goes without saying!"
"It is I who am marrying, not my parents, so naturally I must choose for myself!"
Su Hang shook his head and sighed:
"That is precisely the problem..."
"You will ultimately choose someone with whom you share no fate!"
"If I have not misread your destiny, Miss Xiang is fated to encounter such a ill-fated romance."
"First meeting at Fengling Ferry, one encounter with a Young Master ruins a lifetime."
"After seeing that Young Master, you will feel that all the world's splendor pales compared to his single smile,"
"Just to see that Young Master once, you will lose appetite for tea and rice, even running away from home many times."
"To forge a good union with that Young Master, you will even dare the world's greatest taboo, opposing the entire Wu Lin just to stay with him."
"But... although you have done so much, in that Young Master's eyes, you are merely a little sister."
"From beginning to end, that Young Master has only ever regarded you as a little sister."
Su Hang's words caused quite a stir among everyone present.
They had all expected the young lady of a wealthy family to be rebellious, but never imagined she would be this rebellious.
"I wonder which Young Master Young Lady Guo Er encountered, to inspire such deep devotion."
"Indeed... one really cannot tell that Young Lady Guo Er is such a stubborn person!"
"What a line: 'First meeting at Fengling Ferry, one encounter with a Young Master ruins a lifetime'; isn't this describing love at first sight?"
"A tribulation of love! This is a tribulation of love! Who would have thought that while Lady Guo's life is perfect, her daughter would suffer a love tribulation..."
Hearing the crowd's heated discussions, Guo Xiang's expression now shifted between gloom and brightness.
Up to this point, apart from the appearance of the so-called Young Master, everything Mr. Su had said had already come true.
Especially regarding her personality, he seemed to understand her even better than she understood herself.
Thinking of this, Guo Xiang suppressed the anger in her heart and asked:
