"Now, I announce that Lin Feng of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is my son-in-law. Fifteen days later, Lin Feng and my daughter, Qian Yurou, will be married. At that time, I invite all of you to come to Ling Xiao Palace as guests," Qian Ping said to the crowd below the stage with a smile.
Hearing this, the people from the Cloudy Sky Sect and the Yinyu Sect below the stage were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood, especially An Yun. They originally planned to cause trouble for Lin Long after the competition ended, but now that Lin Long had become the son-in-law of Ling Xiao Palace, how could they still cause trouble?
Because if they still caused trouble for Lin Long, they would clearly be going against Ling Xiao Palace.
"Since Palace Master Qian has so kindly invited us, of course we will come," the crowd below the stage said.
At this point, the curtain of the martial arts competition officially came to an end.
"Elder Lian He, the alliance between Towering Firmaments Palace and your Thousand Beasts Sect is truly a joyous occasion. I will write a letter later, and you can take it to your Sect Leader and report this matter to your Sect Leader. Let your Sect Leader come to Towering Firmaments Palace for a chat, and the wedding will proceed as scheduled," Qian Ping said to Elder Lian He with a smile.
"Palace Master Qian, don't worry, I will personally handle this matter," Elder Lian He hurriedly said.
"Mmm." Qian Ping nodded his head in satisfaction.
Then, he turned to look at Lin Long. The more he looked at Lin Long, the more satisfied he was with him.
"Little Brother Lin, for such a talented young man like you to become the son-in-law of I, Qian Ping, is truly the good fortune that I, Qian Ping, have accumulated in my previous life. Alright, enough nonsense. Little Brother Lin, Elder Lian He, you two first go to the Palace Lord's residence as guests for a day." Finished speaking, Qian Ping laughed a few times and walked down the martial arts stage first.
Naturally, the attendant beside him respectfully led the way for Lin Long and Elder Lian He.
Ling Xiao Palace was built on top of a mountain in North Yue City. This mountain could be said to be the highest mountain in North Yue City. Walking to the foot of the mountain, Lin Long saw that there were many buildings on the mountain peak, and the buildings were decorated with lanterns and colored banners.
Lin Long and Elder Lian He were brought to a rather large building, and Qian Ping personally took care of them. After they ate and drank to their heart's content, Qian Ping left and had his followers bring Lin Long and Elder Lian He around Towering Palace.
However, Qian Yurou was not mentioned. This made Lin Long feel a little strange, but he did not mind. After all, this was his first day in Ling Xiao Palace.
Once Lin Long played around in Towering Palace for a while, it was already late at night. One of the attendants brought Lin Long to a room in the building he stayed in before ordering a few maidservants who had been waiting for a long time to help Lin Long bathe and change his clothes.
As for Elder Lian He, he went to another room.
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Linlong, who had been busy all day, fell asleep on the large and soft bed.
The night did not pass just like that. In the middle of the night, Lin Long woke up after sensing movement outside the window. He sat up and smiled at the window. "Come in."
Very quickly, a person opened the window and entered. This person was Liao Lichang, who was defeated by Lin Long during the day.
Looking at Linlong, Liao Lichang's face was naturally unbearable. If not for Linlong's sudden appearance, he would have been the one sleeping here tonight.
What was even more infuriating was that Lin Long had placed a restriction on him, so he had no choice but to look for Lin Long.
"Sect Leader Liao, please sit." Lin Long says with a smile.
Lin Long's words, however, give Liao Lichang a fright like a bolt from the blue. "You … how did you know?"
At this time, Liao Lichang's voice was no longer like before. It was incomparably old.
"Of course I know, because your Wondrous Wood School has a Body Reversal Rejuvenation Technique. But this technique won't last long. Perhaps in a few days school leader Liao will recover his original appearance." Lin Long says indifferently.
Truthfully speaking, he only noticed this at the end of the match.
"Who exactly are you?" Liao Lichang had a look of surprise on his face. To be honest, even if this Youth Reversal Technique was very useful, only a few people in the Marvelous Wood Sect knew about it.
"Who I am isn't important." Lin Long says in an unfathomable way.
"All right, then I admit defeat. I wonder what I can do for you to remove that restrictive spell. After all, there's no enmity between us." Liao Lichang says.
The reason why he came here was also because he had tried all kinds of methods to remove that restrictive spell but could not do so.
What made him most frustrated was that the more he tried, the more torturous that restrictive spell became.
"Just assist me for a period of time." Lin Long says indifferently.
"Assist you?" Liao Lichang's pupils contract.
Assisting him is no joke because he has to fight against a colossus like the Ling Xiao Palace.
Since Lin Long intentionally concealed his power, Liao Lichang knows that Lin Long must have some ulterior motive, which is not to marry Qian Yurou at all.
"You can also choose to leave." Lin Long says.
"You …" Seeing Lin Long force him like this, Liao Lichang cannot help getting angry.
However, in the end he still chooses to compromise.
Because falling out with Lin Long will not do him any good. Moreover, with that restrictive spell in place, he basically does not have the ability to touch even a finger of Lin Long's.
Afterwards, Lin Long tells him some things and he has no choice but to leave.
After Liao Lichang has left, Lin Long continues to sleep peacefully.
When he wakes up, it is already daybreak.
At this moment, a girl who seems to have just arrived on one side says, "Young master, you've woken up."
Lin Long does not say anything but looks at this girl. She looks to be about 14 or 15 years old, but he feels that she is too daring.
This is because when he was taking a bath yesterday, the other 2 girls simply did not dare to take a serious look at him. This girl, on the other hand, has looked him up and down with her eyes.
If eyes could eat people, Lin Long would probably have been eaten by her already.
Seeing Lin Long looking at her, the girl slightly lowers her head then says: "Young master, the young lady and the palace master are waiting for you to have dinner."
"Um." Lin Long's eyes brighten. He nods at once.
After washing up, he follows the girl to the main hall. He sees that the palace master, Qian Ping and the others are already sitting at the dining table.
After politely inviting Lin Long to sit down, Qian Ping then starts to introduce the people eating with him.
Sitting beside Qian Ping is his wife, a middle-aged woman who is over 40 years old but still very charming.
Beside Qian Ping is a 17 or 18 year old girl, Qian Ping's daughter, Qian Yurou.
She is indeed very beautiful. It is not an exaggeration to call her the number 1 beauty of North Yue City.
However, Qian Yurou is expressionless. From beginning to end, she has not looked at Lin Long at all. It seems that in her heart she is very repulsed by this fiancé who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Only when Qian Ping introduces her does she stand up and nod at Lin Long. However, there is still no smile on her face. Those who do not know might think that Lin Long had some conflict with her in the past.
Lin Long is only here because he is interested in the Green Lotus Spirit Milk. He does not care how Qian Yurou treats him. However, because of the rumors about Qian Yurou in the outside world, he is a little interested in her.
Seeing Qian Yurou like this, Qian Ping does not mind and starts to introduce the others.
Among the others, there is a person called Ma Yunfeng. This person also makes Lin Long look at him a few more times.
This Ma Yunfeng is Qian Ping's eldest disciple. He is also quite handsome and confident. However, he seems to be an affectionate person.
This is because Lin Long discovers that his eyes are basically all focused on Qian Yurou's face. However, just like Lin Long, Qian Yurou does not even look at him.
Apart from this, this Ma Yunfeng also looks at Lin Long with eyes full of jealousy.
However, he does not dare to put on airs in front of Lin Long. When Qian Ping introduces Lin Long, he forces a smile on his face.
Lin Long was able to get number 1 in the joust for a spouse. His strength is simply not something he can compare with. Therefore, he does not dare to find fault with Lin Long.
In the beginning, Lin Long thought that this meal would pass peacefully. Who would have thought that after a short while, he actually feels that his breathing is a little unsmooth?
He immediately understood that someone had drugged his wine. Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a situation to occur.
It seems to be the 'Nine Clouds Powder', one of the 3 great poisons of the Mutian continent. Based on his own intuition, he immediately guesses what kind of poison it is.
If it were not for this poison, he would not have fallen for it at all. After all, he practices a unique technique like the Dantian Record. Moreover, the 2 types of spiritual flames in his body can exterminate 99% of the poisons of the Mutian continent.
The reason why Lin Long fell for this Nine Clouds Powder is not because he was careless. Rather, this poison is too confusing. At the beginning, its effect is not strong. It only acts on the body slowly. Only when the bodily functions of various parts of the body are suppressed will it really start to take effect.
This is also the formidable part of the Nine Clouds Powder. Because at that moment, even a Martial Overlord expert will not be able to immediately remove the damage caused by the Nine Clouds Powder. He will only become a fish on the chopping board of the poisoner.
"Could it be that Qian Ping discovered my secret and secretly attacked me?" This thought flashes through Lin Long's mind. However, he does not intend to take action immediately. Instead, he wants to see how the situation develops.
Even though he has fallen for this Nine Clouds Powder, it does not mean that he can only wait to be captured. This is because he has clearly discovered the Nine Clouds Powder as soon as it starts to take effect.
This is naturally due to his rich experience as an apothecary and the sensitivity of the Dantian Record.
If it was an ordinary person, perhaps they would not be able to detect it until the Nine Clouds Powder takes effect. By that time, it will already be too late.
This early detection naturally allows him to use the 2 types of spiritual flames in his body and a technique like the Dantian Record to slowly remove this Nine Clouds Powder.
Therefore, he pretends that nothing has happened and continues to smile as he faces Qian Ping and the others.
However, he has naturally made preparations in secret. The Raging Flame Beast in the Rune Spatial Ring is even more ready to attack.
Not long after, someone immediately reveals his fox's tail. What Lin Long did not expect is that this person is unexpectedly Ma Yunfeng.
Ma Yunfeng opens his mouth and says to Qian Ping, "Master, Young Master Lin defeated the experts of various schools in the Martial Arts Competition, but he did not defeat the disciples of our Ling Xiao Palace. When I came today, the other junior brothers all complained to me, saying that if Young Master Lin could not defeat the disciples of our Ling Xiao Palace, how could he directly marry a junior sister?"
Seeing Qian Ping frown slightly, Ma Yunfeng hurriedly says, "Of course, we do not think that Young Master Lin's strength is insufficient. It is just that everyone feels that it is necessary to have this kind of ceremony."
"Yunfeng, aren't you dissatisfied with Young Master Lin marrying your junior sister … However, this is also good. Let Young Master Lin teach you a lesson and let you know what it means by there is always someone better than you in the world … Hmm, just treat it as livening up this meal." Qian Ping says.
Although he is still frowning, he does not want to pursue the matter further.
Hearing Qian Ping's meaning, Ma Yunfeng's face immediately becomes happy.
Qian Ping then turns his face to look at Lin Long and says, "What does Young Master Lin think?"
"There is no reason not to." Lin Long nods.
In this short period of time, that Nine Clouds Powder has already been completely controlled by him, so he is not worried at all.
"In that case, Young Master Lin can teach this worthless disciple of mine a lesson." Qian Ping says.
After Qian Ping finishes speaking, Ma Yunfeng, who cannot conceal the happiness on his face, has already stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.
