After chatting for a while, Elder Jin and the others left one after another. Xia Tao brought them around Lin City. Normally, the elders did not leave the mountain often. Since they were already out, they naturally had to take a look around. Of course, this was also to give Lu Xuan a chance to spend time with his family. If they were around, Lu Yu would naturally entertain them.
Xia Tao was also happy to take this opportunity to get closer to the elders of the sect. It would only be beneficial for him.
As for Xia Ye, she also went home first. At the same time, she brought Lin Tian and the others back to her home to entertain them. For a moment, only Lu Xuan, Lin Xinyi, and the other two women were left in the Lu Mansion.
"Xuan 'er, haven't you introduced your female companions to me?" Lu Yu looked at the three women with interest. His gaze was as if he was sizing up his daughter-in-law.
He knew Lin Xinyi. She was the precious daughter of the Lin family and was an old acquaintance of Lu Xuan. As for the other two women, although he had never seen them before, they were both outstanding beauties. Regardless of appearance or temperament, they were all top-notch. Although he did not know their personalities, Lu Yu was undoubtedly satisfied to see them sitting upright and still with slight shyness and nervousness.
He was also an experienced person. One look at the women's expressions and he knew that they must have a close relationship with Lu Xuan.
In fact, Lu Yu was right. At this moment, the women were extremely nervous. It was as if an ugly daughter-in-law was meeting her parents-in-law. Of course, no matter who it was, they did not have the word ugly.
Since his father had spoken, Lu Xuan naturally did not dare to slack off. He introduced the three of them one by one. Lin Xinyi's identity was needless to say, but Chen Xiaohan's identity shocked Lu Yu. He did not expect Lu Xuan to be so capable. He actually managed to hook up with the daughter of the Enchantment Hall Master so easily. However, when he recalled that Elder Jin, Instructor Yang, and the others had come to express their goodwill, Lu Yu immediately calmed down. He knew that the current Lu Xuan had undergone a great change compared to a year ago.
As for Zhang Dongshuang's background, Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh. It was really unfortunate for her family to have such a huge change at such a young age.
As they chatted, Lu Yu casually asked some questions. Although Lin Xinyi wanted to stay longer, she also wanted to go home after a year. Zhang Dongshuang and the others left with her. After all, it was not appropriate for them to stay in the Lu Mansion, so it was more appropriate for them to stay in the Lin Mansion.
"Lu Xuan, these three women seem to have a close relationship with you," Lu Yu said with a smile after the women left.
Hearing Lu Yu mention this, Lu Xuan smiled awkwardly. "We're all good friends. Of course, we have a close relationship."
"Is that so? If my eyesight hadn't deteriorated, I'm afraid that Miss Lin would have lost her virginity … Don't tell me that person isn't you? "Lu Yu said calmly with a mischievous look in his eyes.
Lu Xuan was taken aback. "You can tell?"
"Of course!" Lu Yu said proudly. "Your father used to be an experienced playboy. How could he not tell? Apart from Miss Lin, the other two women also have a good impression of you, especially Miss Han. When she was talking to me, she looked at you nervously from time to time. I'm afraid she has already fallen in love with you. Good boy, you didn't disgrace your father. You brought back three beautiful daughters-in-law after a year. Keep up the good work. Our Lu Family is still too small. We'll have to rely on you to carry it forward in the future. It'd be best if you can give birth to 17 or 18 sons!"
For the older generation, nothing was more important than carrying on the family line. However, Lu Qiong's face turned red when he heard Lu Yu's words.
"Father, how can you say this to Xiao Xuan? You're always so frivolous. You didn't teach him anything good," Lu Qiong said.
"Sigh, how can you call that frivolous? It's important to carry on the family line. Moreover, these three women are very good." Lu Yu said with a straight face. He then added, "And you, Qiong 'er, if you like any young master, you must tell me. I'll help you. Men know men the best."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "How can my sister marry someone so easily? She should at least find someone who's favored by the heavens."
"Don't listen to Father's nonsense. Xiao Xuan, let me tell you, since Miss Lin has given her body to you, you have to treat her well. Don't let her down," Lu Qiong said. As a woman, she naturally knew what women wanted the most.
"Yes, Qiong 'er, you're right. Since it's like this, I'll go with you tomorrow to pay a visit to the head of the Lin family. If it was in the past, it would be too much to ask for a marriage alliance with the Lin family. But now, even the City Lord has come to make friends with us. We're qualified to marry into the Lin family." Lu Yu thought for a while and said. He wasn't worried. His son was so decisive and even got the girl's body. What's done can't be undone. Moreover, with Lu Xuan's current status, it wouldn't be a disgrace to the Lin family.
Marriage was a major event. His parents' orders and the matchmaker's words were not very important to him as a martial artist. However, since he was back home, Lu Xuan had no choice but to follow Lu Yu's arrangements.
That day, Lu Yu sent people out to buy some. Since they came to propose marriage, the three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts naturally couldn't be omitted. Moreover, the Lin family was one of the top families in Lin City, so it couldn't be shabby.
Seeing that Lu Yu was serious, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel nervous. According to the customs of the Sky Sword Continent, seventeen years old was about the right time to get married. However, Lu Xuan's heart was focused on martial arts. Marriage wasn't an issue, but it was still not a problem to get engaged.
Seeing this situation, Lu Xuan had no choice but to tell Lu Yu about the matter between him and Zhao Binger. When he found out that Lu Xuan had actually gotten a girl with a higher status, not only did Lu Yu not blame him, but he also constantly praised Lu Xuan for his future prospects. Like father like son, especially when he found out that Lin Xinyi had already accepted him, Lu Yu admired Lu Xuan even more, repeatedly saying that the student had surpassed his father.
According to Lu Yu, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. They would first settle this marriage, and when Lu Xuan's cultivation level was high enough to match Zhao Binger, he would go to the Profound Ice Pavilion to ask for her hand in marriage.
Although there was no other way, facing his own father, Lu Xuan had no choice but to follow his father's words.
Lu Xuan hurriedly used a few Sound Transmission Talismans to inform Elder Jin and the others, hoping that they would help him as a matchmaker. Otherwise, he would not have any confidence.
A day quickly passed. On the second day, Lu Xuan and his family once again met up with Elder Jin and the others. Lin Tian, Xia Ye, and the others all came to join in the fun, grinning as they followed them.
"The Family Head invites you in," A servant of the Lin family opened the main doors of the Lin Mansion and invited Lu Xuan and his family in.
Lu Xuan walked all the way to the reception hall of the Lin family. Just as he bowed, the Family Head of the Lin family, Lin Xinyi's father, Lin Hongzhi, loudly shouted.
"Lu Xuan, how dare you! You actually dared to come here!"
Lu Xuan was stunned and could not help but raise his head to take a look. He saw Lin Xinyi standing beside Lin Hongzhi with a flushed face, continuously winking at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan immediately smiled bitterly. If his father could tell that Lin Xinyi had lost her virginity, how could Lin Hongzhi and the others not see it? Lin Xinyi must have told them everything after being questioned.
"Xinyi is the apple of my eye. How dare you do such a thing. Ah San, chase the guests out!" Lin Hongzhi angrily shouted as he slammed the chair and stood up.
At this moment, Xia Tao, who was behind Lu Xuan, hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "Brother Lin, calm down. I think Lu Xuan and Xinyi are a perfect match made in heaven. Now that Lu Xuan has come to propose marriage, how can we just close the door and reject guests? Come, sit down, let me introduce you to the guests."
Hearing this, Lin Hongzhi reluctantly sat down and said: "Then I will give Brother Xia face."
Xia Tao chuckled as he introduced Elder Jin and the rest to Lin Hongzhi. Upon hearing the identities of Elder Jin and the rest, Lin Hongzhi was immediately shocked. He did not expect that all of them would have such powerful backgrounds. Not to mention him, the head of the Lin Family, even the emperor of the Tianwu Empire would have to treat them with the respect of a disciple.
Lin Hongzhi immediately apologized and stood up to invite Elder Jin and the rest to take a seat. Unexpectedly, Elder Jin waved his hand and said, "It's alright, it's alright. Those who don't know are not to blame. Moreover, we're not here today as the Wind Sword Sect's deputy leader, but as a matchmaker."
Elder Jin stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Lu Xuan and Lin Xinyi are both disciples of the Wind Sword School. Today, I have shamelessly come to be the matchmaker. I hope that the head of the Lin family will do me the honor."
Hearing that Elder Jin and the others were actually here to be the matchmaker, Lin Hongzhi immediately opened his mouth and did not know what to say for a moment.
Seeing this, Xia Tao hurriedly transmitted his voice to Lin Hongzhi: "Brother Lin, know when to stop. It's about time. The deputy head of the Wind Sword School and the chief instructor are here to be the matchmaker. This is even more glorious than a marriage bestowed by the Emperor."
In fact, Lin Hongzhi had already received news from Xia Tao yesterday. He also knew the identity of Elder Jin and the others. He also knew Lu Xuan's status in the Wind Sword School. Not to mention the fact that Lu Xuan was favored by so many elders, even if an ordinary core disciple came to propose marriage, it would be a good match.
However, Lin Xinyi was the apple of his eye, and there was no way he was going to give her away so easily. As such, he had to put in enough effort to save face for Lu Xuan. That was why he had to reprimand Lu Xuan, lest Lu Xuan did not know how to cherish her. His daughter was so disappointing that she had even given her body to Lu Xuan, so what else could Lin Hongzhi say?
"Since the deputy head has personally come to be the matchmaker, how can I not give you face? Lu Xuan, since you have come to propose marriage, you must treat Xinyi well in the future. If I find out that she has been wronged in the future, I will hold you responsible. By then, no matter what your identity is, I will not let you go even if I have to risk my life," Lin Hongzhi said in a serious tone.
"Of course. Please rest assured, Uncle Lin. If I let Xinyi be wronged in the future, I, Lu Xuan, will definitely be struck by lightning." Lu Xuan hurriedly said as an excuse to get out of the situation.
Lu Yu laughed and said: "Brother Lin, please calm down. If my little brat doesn't know how to cherish him, I will teach him a good lesson even without Brother Lin's help. Today is a joyous day. Don't say such inauspicious words. Someone, quickly bring the betrothal gifts!"
