Bundles of betrothal gifts were carried out according to the rules. In order to satisfy the Lin family, Lu Yu had put in a lot of effort. Although Lu Xuan's status was not low, he was still marrying someone else's daughter. No matter what, Lu Yu could not be careless.
Hearing the servants report the betrothal gifts one by one, Lin Hongzhi's expression became much better. He nodded to himself, thinking that Lu Xuan was not a bad kid. He did not take advantage of his position to bully others, and the betrothal gifts he presented were not shabby at all. While these betrothal gifts were nothing to the Lin family, Lin Hongzhi was only interested in the formality.
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner. Elder Jin and the others were also invited to the seats of honor. Although Elder Jin said that he was only here as a matchmaker, Lin Hongzhi did not dare to slight him. He pretended not to know Elder Jin and the others' identities, but now that it was obvious, he naturally had to treat them with respect.
After the banquet, Lin Hongzhi said drunkenly, "Lu Xuan, I know that your status is not low, and it may be even higher in the future. But you must ensure that Xinyi lives a happy life. She is the apple of my eye. She has never been wronged since she was young."
"Of course. Uncle Lin, please rest assured. Xinyi and I love each other. There is no need to say anything else." Lu Xuan said.
Lin Hongzhi nodded his head in satisfaction. "It's a good thing that you're smart enough to come and propose today. If you did something like that and still didn't come and propose today, humph, today's matter won't end so easily. Even if the Vice Sect Leader comes, I'll still have to show you some strength."
Lu Xuan sweated in his heart. You have already shown me your power today. You just came in and wanted to chase me away. Of course, Lu Xuan did not dare to say this. He could only say yes repeatedly.
"Lu Xuan, congratulations on being with your sister. In the future, you must treat your sister well. Let me toast to you!" Zhang Dongshuang raised her wine glass and said.
"Sister?" Lu Xuan was a little surprised.
Lin Xinyi sat to the side and held Lu Xuan's hand. She pursed her lips and smiled. "Yesterday, after my father found out about little sister Dongshuang, he adopted her as his daughter. Of course, she calls me sister."
She was very happy today. Lu Xuan had come to propose marriage so soon, and the two of them were officially engaged. Now, she was truly Lu Xuan's woman. Although she was slower than Zhao Binger in some matters, she was first in terms of status. Women always had their own thoughts. Although Lin Xinyi could accept the fact that she knew about Lu Xuan and Zhao Binger, she couldn't help but secretly compare herself to Zhao Binger.
Chen Xiaohan, on the other hand, was drinking to drown her sorrows. Seeing Lu Xuan and Lin Xinyi holding hands, she felt rather upset.
"Damn Lu Xuan, stinky Lu Xuan, bastard Lu Xuan. How can you be so straightforward now? You weren't as straightforward as you were in the Enchantment Hall." Chen Xiaohan cursed in her heart. She couldn't help but think that if she had been a little more thick-skinned and slipped into Lu Xuan's room a few days ago in the Sword Faction, what would the situation be like today?
However, all of this was just a 'if'. At least now, the one who was engaged to Lu Xuan was not her, but Lin Xinyi.
"Xinyi, I, Lu Xuan, can't be said to be a good man, but I will definitely not let you suffer." Lu Xuan whispered in Lin Xinyi's ear. Hearing this, Lin Xinyi immediately leaned into Lu Xuan's embrace with a blissful expression.
…
After the lively scene, Lu Xuan and the others bid farewell. Although Lin Xinyi wanted to leave with Lu Xuan, they had just been engaged, so she still had to be reserved. She could only suppress the thoughts in her heart and stay in the Lin Mansion.
After returning to the Lu Mansion, Lu Xuan didn't go out again. He stayed at home to accompany his father and sister, talking about some of the exciting things that happened in the past year. As for the dangers, he naturally didn't mention them. In any case, they had already passed, so there was no need to make his father and sister worry.
Now that he was engaged to Lin Xinyi, the relationship between the Lu Family and the Lin family would undoubtedly become closer. Moreover, the City Governor's Mansion knew about the relationship between Lu Xuan and Elder Jin and the others, so they would definitely take care of him. So, Lu Xuan could put his mind at ease.
In addition, Lu Xuan also told Lu Qiong some things about cultivation. At the same time, he left two precious long swords for Lu Qiong so that she could cultivate to the Spirit Refinement Realm as soon as possible. With the strength of the Spirit Refinement Realm, she would no longer be in danger in Lin City.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan stayed in Lin City for another two days. Including the time before, the seven days agreed with Instructor Yang had passed. It was almost time to go to the core disciples' place.
"Xuan 'er, you don't have to worry about the matters at home. Don't keep thinking about it. Since your heart is in martial arts, you must go further on this road. Father, I am proud of you!" At this moment, Lu Yu also put away his disrespectful smile and exhorted with a solemn expression. At this moment, he was like a real father.
"I understand. I will not let you down. When I have achieved some achievements in cultivation, I will come back to accompany you!" Lu Xuan hugged Lu Yu tightly and said. At this moment, he was not the Lu Xuan who defeated the number one core disciple of the Sky Saber Sect. He was just a seventeen-year-old child in front of his father.
"Good, good, I knew that your achievements must be extraordinary. Originally, I only wanted you to live a stable life. Since you have embarked on the martial arts path, then go on with peace of mind and do your best!" There was a hint of emotion in Lu Yu's tone.
Although Lu Xuan felt that something was wrong, he was immersed in the sadness of parting and did not think too much about it.
"Little Xuan, I want to thank you for everything you have done for me. That little brat has finally grown up and can take charge of his own affairs. I will always be proud of you." Lu Qiong also smiled. She also came up and hugged Lu Xuan.
"Lu Xuan, let's go. All good things must come to an end. When you have achieved some achievements in martial arts, you can come back and bring glory to the family," Instructor Yang said.
After taking a deep look at Lu Yu and Lu Qiong, Lu Xuan immediately left without looking back. It was said that when a martial artist cultivated to a high level, it was possible to prolong their lives. At that time, he could forcibly increase the strength of his father and sister so that they could accompany him for a longer time.
After leaving the Lu Mansion, Lin Xinyi and the others were already waiting there. Elder Jin once again threw out the airship and everyone boarded it. Xia Tao, Xia Feng, Xia Ye's father, Lin Hongzhi, Lu Yu, and the others all stood beside the airship to send everyone off.
After saying goodbye, Elder Jin directly activated the airship and rose into the sky. Lin City gradually came under everyone's feet and became smaller and smaller until it could not be seen.
"Lu Xuan, you have to leave in such a short time. I can't bear to part with you." Lin Xinyi was like a little girl snuggling tightly in Lu Xuan's arms. They had just gotten engaged and she was really reluctant to part with him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Cultivate well in the Sword Faction. I will wait for you with the core disciples," Lu Xuan said as he stroked Lin Xinyi's hair.
As if she had thought of something, Lin Xinyi suddenly said, "By the way, if I remember correctly, Chenxi seems to have some feelings for you. You will be seeing Chenxi soon."
"Uh …" Lu Xuan instantly had a headache. What was going on? Now that he was engaged to Lin Xinyi, he naturally could not provoke Xia Chenxi anymore.
"Chenxi and I are good sisters and have been best friends since we were young. I can even accept Zhao Binger, whom I have never met before. As long as you have the ability, it is not impossible for me to accept Chenxi," Lin Xinyi suddenly said.
"Really?" Lu Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
Seeing Lu Xuan's expression, Lin Xinyi, who had been very gentle just a moment ago, immediately raised her eyebrows. "Good, Lu Xuan. You are so excited at the mention of this. I didn't think that you would reveal your true nature after just a casual test."
Lin Xinyi's hands pinched the soft flesh on Lu Xuan's waist hard as if she wanted to vent the dissatisfaction in her heart. Lu Xuan could only admit that he was unlucky. It was his fault for having a dirty mouth.
After pinching for a while, Lin Xinyi let go. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Chenxi is my best friend. If she knows that we are engaged, she will definitely be very sad. I don't want to see her sad. If, if she is willing to accept me, I will allow you … But you can't abandon me!"
"Xinyi, I will never provoke Chenxi. Don't worry!" After suffering a loss before, Lu Xuan would never be fooled again this time. He quickly pointed to the sky and swore.
Lin Xinyi glared at him and said, "Don't coax me. I mean it."
"Really?" Lu Xuan's face was full of disbelief. It seemed that Xinyi, this little girl, had become smarter. She would even further test me. I must not be fooled.
"Don't think that Chenxi is soft and weak. She seems to be easy to talk to. But she may not be able to accept that you are disloyal. So, this is not a simple matter." Lin Xinyi said quite seriously.
This time, Lu Xuan seemed to realize that something was unusual. It seemed that Lin Xinyi … Really wasn't testing me?
"Don't worry. I will never take the initiative to provoke other women, even if it is Chenxi." Lu Xuan also said seriously. He was not the kind of person who was half-hearted. He would not pursue for the sake of pursuing, unless there was really a relationship.
"I know. I can rest assured now. Let's leave everything to fate." Lin Xinyi was already very satisfied. She lay in Lu Xuan's arms, enjoying this moment of peace.
Elder Jin piloted the flying spirit vessel and returned to the inner sect first. Lu Xuan bid farewell to his two good friends, Xia Ye and Xing Feng. He was about to head to the core, and he had no idea when they would meet again.
When he bid farewell to Chen Xiaohan, she did not respond at all. Although he felt guilty, he did not dare to say too much. If this could make Chen Xiaohan give up on him, then it would be a good thing. Having too many women was just too troublesome.
"Let's go. I will bring you to the core disciples' area. Once you enter the core disciples' area, your world will be wider!" Instructor Yang said and threw out a sword-shaped flying artifact.
Lu Xuan, Lin Tian, and Mo Qiuchen went up one after another. Hearing Instructor Yang's words, the three of them were filled with anticipation and excitement. Core disciples, here I come!
