"Before?"
The man paused, his mind flashing with the memory of their first meeting, the vast white snow-covered mountain, the maiden briskly walking on the mountain...
Back then, she was thin and pale, her clothes tattered. In his eyes, she was merely a child. Because she smelled of Blue Snow Lotus and knew a bit of martial arts, and later, she even joined forces with that white-haired Giant Tiger, he couldn't even be bothered to spare her a glance.
However, it was only after he had seen the flower tea brought by her mother that he realized this girl was not just any ordinary girl. Then came the chance meetings in the town, the poem competition at the inn, and her righteous act of coming to his rescue. It was impossible for him not to take notice of her. When he left Qingyun Town, he gave her a Night Pearl, implying that she shouldn't simply marry anyone in the countryside, perhaps he had already taken a liking to her by then, just unaware of it!
