Chapter 259: Ambushed
An Zheyan, having completed his meditation, slowly got down from the rock atop the mountain. Before him sat a middle-aged man with a head full of gray hair, appearing at least ten years older than An Zheyan.
The man was meditating silently, but as An Zheyan approached, he opened his eyes and greeted, "Senior."
An Zheyan merely nodded, his expression somewhat downcast. The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, and his once stern face softened with a hint of a smile as he asked, "Could it be that you were driven out by your wife again?"
An Zheyan shook his head and sighed, replying with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "It is not something to laugh about, Brother Youdao! My wife, Feiruo, is perfect in every way, except for her domineering personality..."
Tian Youdao chuckled softly. He had a certain fondness for this former head of the An Family but kept his distance due to the presence of many prying eyes. He simply responded, "Feiruo is both capable and ambitious."
The Li Family had attempted to arrange a marriage for An Zheyan in the town several times. Many children with spiritual orifices were already betrothed; even Li Yuanyun almost could not marry one.
It was even more challenging for someone like An Zheyan, once infamous for his brutality, to find a match. Eventually, he ended up marrying Li Feiruo.
Li Feiruo had previously married westward to Mount Yue, accomplished feats there, and also managed Lichuankou Village. She was not only beautiful but also carried an aura of nobility.
An Zheyan, despite being a Qi Cultivator, had been through many ups and downs, which had softened his temperament. Li Feiruo completely dominated him, but despite his complaints, their life together was fairly harmonious.
