Finish up

As you lay in bed together, you ask Lingiuan, "Do you think we should get together sometime? And more than just friends, so to speak."

Lingiuan was surprised at your questioning, but smiled as she nodded. "Yes. I think so...maybe because I'm in love with you, John." she said before she blushed brightly.

You lean in to kiss Lingiuan deeply, making her wrap her arms around you before you eventually got dressed together and bid each other farewell for now.

As time went by, you and Ming Lingiuan began to gradually evolve from friends to lovers within months. You vowed to protect and love her, regardless if her teacher, Lu Meng, died in battle at Fan Castle.
