Zhan Juncheng had kept this secret for twenty years; now he decided to reveal it.
"Moxiao, back then, Ou Lan's grandfather saved my life. Indeed, I wanted to repay the Ou Family, but there were countless ways to do so. Yet, I specifically betrothed you to Ou Lan, who was just born, for a reason."
Zhan Moxiao, "Is it related to my illness?"
"That's right. When you were nine, you fell ill frequently. No matter how many doctors we consulted, it was useless. Your grandfather took you to visit Master Hong Yuan. Do you remember that?"
Zhan Moxiao nodded, "Of course I remember."
Master Hong Yuan was the most famous enlightened monk in the Zhelan Empire. When he was nine, he suddenly fell ill with a persistent fever that no treatment could cure. His mother was at a loss, so his grandfather took him to see Master Hong Yuan.
