The group soon arrived at the bottom of the mountain. Sensing the dense spiritual energy coming from the courtyard, Linlong knew that the Flowerless Tree was in the courtyard.
Rumor had it that the Flowerless Tree was only three meters tall. It seemed that it was true. Seeing that there were no towering trees in the courtyard, Linlong could not help but think to himself.
At this time, he said to Zhao Xiangrong who was next to him, "Young Lady Zhao, we'll part ways here. Thank you for your help today, Young Lady Zhao … As for the restriction I placed on both of you, it will disappear automatically after a few hours. It won't affect you in the future."
"Are you leaving now?" Zhao Xiangrong raised her head and asked.
"Yes." Linlong nodded.
"Didn't you say that you want to marry me?" Zhao Xiangrong was very displeased.
Hearing Zhao Xiangrong's words, the little maid Xiao Yi was immediately stunned. She did not expect that the two of them would already be discussing marriage in the short time she left.
"That … That's a matter for the future." Linlong said with some guilt.
"No." Zhao Xiangrong immediately said. Then, she did something that made Linlong very depressed. She screamed at the top of her voice.
"Ah …"
Zhao Xiangrong's voice almost echoed throughout the entire mountain.
Her voice only rang out once because in the next moment, the restriction that Linlong had set up had already activated. She was in so much pain that she could not even scream.
Even so, her face still had a smug expression.
Linlong was speechless. At this moment, he could only regret not placing a stronger restriction. If it was stronger, Zhao Xiangrong would not even be able to scream.
He could only blame himself for being careless.
At the same time, Zhang Yi and the others who heard Zhao Xiangrong's scream immediately put down the sedan chair.
"Miss, are you alright?"
As he shouted, Zhang Yi opened the curtain. Then, he was dumbfounded because other than the young miss and the maid Xiao Yi, there was actually a young man in the sedan chair.
"Who are you?" Zhang Yi immediately shouted.
At the same time, Zhang Yi was extremely nervous. Since the other party was able to enter the palanquin without making a sound, it meant that they were stronger than them. However, when he remembered that Elder Long and Elder Wang were still at the top of the mountain, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Moreover, the two of them must have heard Zhao Xiangrong's scream just now. They should have already rushed out of the courtyard at the top of the mountain.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiangrong's face darkened and she said, "Zhang Yi, what nonsense are you shouting for? This is my fiancé, your future grandfather. "
Zhao Kuo only had one daughter and no son. That was why Zhao Xiangrong said that.
Fiancé, future old man? Hearing this, Zhang Yi was even more surprised.
He really couldn't figure it out. When the young miss came out, she was still alone. How did a fiancé appear out of nowhere? And looking at Zhao Xiangrong's current appearance, she wasn't being coerced at all.
"Mi … Miss …" He really didn't know what to say.
Zhao Xiangrong immediately shouted again, "Hurry up and go down for me."
"Alright, alright." Zhang Yi hurriedly put down the curtain and walked down the palanquin.
As for the other cultivators beside them, they naturally heard their conversation as well, so all of them had dumbfounded expressions on their faces.
At this time, a loud and solemn voice came from the front. "Zhang Yi, what's going on?"
"Ah … No … Nothing." Zhang Yi saw that the person who spoke was Elder Long, who had just rushed over from the top of the mountain. He originally wanted to say what happened, but he thought of what if the young miss didn't like it. So, he could only stammer.
"Nothing? Your Young Miss screamed just now, and you're still saying that it's nothing? Zhang Yi, what are you doing? "A handsome young man beside Elder Long immediately shouted.
"This …" Zhang Yi knew this young man's identity, so he didn't dare to offend him. However, he didn't know how to answer.
Moreover, this young man obviously liked Zhao Xiangrong. If he said that Zhao Xiangrong's fiancée was in the palanquin, this young man would definitely fly into a rage. At that time, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be injured.
The more he looked at Zhang Yi, the more Elder Long felt that something was wrong. However, he knew that he probably wouldn't be able to get anything out of Zhang Yi, so he directly asked Zhao Xiangrong, who was in the palanquin, "Miss, are you alright?"
"Alright?" As she spoke, Zhao Xiangrong lifted the curtain. Then, Elder Long and the other three who had just rushed over were immediately dumbfounded. This was because Zhao Xiangrong actually held onto a young man's arm and walked out of the palanquin.
What was going on? Why was Xiangrong sitting in the palanquin with a man? At the sight of this scene, the handsome youth's mind immediately exploded with a bang.
When he regained his senses, he immediately pointed at Lin Long and asked Zhao Xiangrong, "Xiangrong … Who … Who is this?"
After so many years, he had already regarded himself as Zhao Xiangrong's future husband. Moreover, he had already planned to propose marriage to the Zhao Family in a few days. Based on Zhao Kuo's love for him and the power of the Li family, the Zhao Family would definitely not reject him.
As for his feelings for Zhao Xiangrong, everyone in the Zhao Family already knew.
Who would have thought that there would be a man holding Zhao Xiangrong's arm, and they looked so intimate? That was not the most important thing. Most importantly, a man and a woman were living alone in the same place. In the narrow space of the palanquin, Zhao Xiangrong probably had already been touched countless times by that man.
The more he thought about this, the angrier the young master of the Li family became. In fact, his body even began to tremble slightly.
Elder Long was naturally surprised. However, since the young master of the Li family had already asked, he naturally wouldn't do anything unnecessary. Instead, he looked at Zhao Xiangrong.
"Big Brother Li Ying, this is my fiancé, Lin Feng," Zhao Xiangrong said to Li Ying and Elder Long with a smile.
"Xiangrong, since when did you have a fiancé?" Li Ying immediately cried out in surprise.
He instinctively felt that it was a lie, but judging from Zhao Xiangrong's behavior, it did not seem like she was putting on an act. Why would she be so close to the other party when she was acting?
"Big Brother Li Ying, you don't believe me?" Zhao Xiangrong asked.
"Of course, how could I believe you?" Li Ying immediately replied loudly while glaring fiercely at Linlong.
Without Zhao Kuo's confirmation, how could he agree to become Zhao Xiangrong's fiancé, who had suddenly popped out of nowhere?
"Then, I'll let Big Brother Li Ying believe me." As she spoke, Zhao Xiangrong suddenly stood on her tiptoes and kissed Linlong's lips.
Linlong was truly speechless. However, since things had come to this, he could only go along with the other party's rhythm. He could not possibly say that he was not her fiancé, could he? If he did, he would immediately be surrounded by Elder Long and the others.
Seeing the two of them kissing in public without holding back, with Zhao Xiangrong taking the initiative, the surrounding people were even more flabbergasted.
Even if Zhao Kuo did not agree to it, there was nothing he could do to change the fact that Zhao Xiangrong had kissed someone in public.
Zhao Xiangrong had already given up her chastity. Even if Li Ying were to marry her in the future, he would probably lose a great deal of face.
After all, if that was really the case, wouldn't he be criticized behind his back for marrying a woman with no integrity, no sense of propriety, and no sense of shame?
However, since he had already said that he was her fiancé, why did she scream just now? Could it be that he had done it in front of Xiaoyi? The surrounding people immediately began to let their imaginations run wild.
At the same time, Li Ying had also thought of the same thing. After putting all of these together, his expression became extremely ugly.
However, there was nothing he could say at that moment. All he could do was put on a dark expression.
"Ahem, Young Miss, may I know who this young man is?" At that moment, Elder Long, who was standing at the side, broke the awkward atmosphere.
"About that, let's slowly talk about it when we reach the top of the mountain," Zhao Xiangrong said with a smile.
"Very well." Elder Long nodded.
With that, the group of people headed toward the top of the mountain.
Apart from Elder Long, Elder Wang was also present in the courtyard at the top of the mountain. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to guard the Flowerless Fruit at the top of the mountain, Elder Wang would have definitely rushed out to see what was going on.
Elder Wang was naturally surprised to see that Zhao Xiangrong had suddenly introduced a fiancé. After all, he had watched Zhao Xiangrong grow up, so he was basically the first person to know about anything that happened to her.
Therefore, he was naturally surprised. Moreover, he could immediately tell that this fiancé, Linlong, had not received Zhao Kuo's approval at all.
However, the two elders knew that they could not rush things, so they invited Linlong, Zhao Xiangrong, and Li Ying to sit down and drink some tea. Only then did they slowly try to get information out of Linlong.
"May I know which city and which family does Young Brother Lin come from?" Elder Wang asked.
Linlong had a unique temperament, so they could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary commoner.
"The Lin family of Ganyu Town in Luoyan City," Linlong said with a smile.
He had purposely picked a small family from a nearby town. That way, these people would not be able to find any flaws in his story.
Hearing that Linlong came from such a small family, Li Ying immediately mocked him. "So you're from Luoyan City. However, I often go to Luoyan City, but I've never heard of any Ganyu Town."
"Our Lin family is but a small family. How can we compare to a large family like Young Master Li?" Linlong said without a care.
Seeing that Linlong was so thick-skinned that he did not take such mockery to heart, Li Ying immediately said angrily, "You're just a small family. Why don't you take a look at your own status? You actually dare to touch the daughter of the City Lord of Black Wind City? Have you eaten a leopard's gall?"
Elder Long and Elder Wang acted as if they did not hear Li Ying's scolding and continued drinking their tea.
Seeing that Linlong came from such a small family, they naturally would not help him. If Linlong came from a large family, perhaps they would speak up for him.
Other than that, it was also because Linlong's Dantian Record had concealed his powerful aura. If they knew that Linlong was a Martial Lord, how could they dare to allow Li Ying to speak in such a manner?
Since Li Ying had already said those words, it meant that he had already made up his mind to ruthlessly teach Linlong a lesson.
