Soon, a widely spread rumor arose among the Outer Disciples:
"The farmer's son Lou Yi is in love with the Great General's daughter You Qingyi, and they are about to be engaged. Besides, Lou Yi has a Lower-Grade Spirit Root, while You Qingyi has an Upper-Grade Spirit Root..."
The story of a poor boy and a rich girl, regardless of the world, is always a favorite, as everyone has a natural curiosity for gossip.
Soon enough, this rumor spread even further and became more distorted.
Things like You Qingyi chasing after Lou Yi and using her family's power to force him to agree... or that Lou Yi had a unique talent that You Qingyi simply couldn't leave him...
After this news spread.
Someone saw You Qingyi with red eyes, her silhouette lonely, standing alone on the mountaintop, gazing into the distance.
As expected.
That morning, when Lou Yi went to find You Qingyi again, he found no response, as if she wasn't there.
