While the Xu and Hu duo were sweetly and affectionately playing out the standard three-act romance of a normal couple, a relentless succession of troubles hit them: the mysterious disappearances of sect masters one after another, a trip to the Underworld to rescue a mother, an investigation into their ancestry, and a quest to find a missing dharma body. These mountainous burdens left the two of them gasping for breath. Whenever they managed to steal a moment of leisure to get cozy, they were invariably interrupted, crashing in from all directions.
Alas, could anyone in this world be more unreliable in matters of the heart than these two?
Xu Ruoping could not help thinking: *If one day all these matters are finally settled, I will surely find a place of picturesque mountains and clear waters, far from the mortal dust, and live quietly with Hu Yihui—either practicing cultivation or farming the land.*
