After coming out of Li Xuan's study, Lin Xuan was led by Li Mohan to the front yard to attend the banquet.
In the banquet hall, those who were seated were all the older generation of the Li family. As for the younger generation, they could only eat, drink, and play in the courtyard.
Because it was a family banquet, it was more casual. Even the women of the Li family could attend. There were 50 to 60 tables in the courtyard, and it was very lively.
The family banquets of large families were nothing more than that when the family members were large, they were often scattered all over the place. Often, they would only meet a few times in a year. Therefore, they would hold a regular banquet to connect the family members and strengthen their cohesion.
It was Lin Xuan's first time attending such a banquet. He was not used to it and even felt a little awkward.
After all, he was an outsider and was arranged to sit at a table at the side.
After taking his seat, Lin Xuan suddenly realized that there were a few acquaintances at the same table. Among them, there were two young people from the Li family who were actually his classmates in the study of spirit runes.
However, Lin Xuan did not exchange many words with them. After greeting them, he quietly sipped his wine and scanned his surroundings.
At the next table was a group of unmarried young ladies from the Li family. Among them was Li Mojun. She was also the most dazzling among all the ladies present.
However, at this moment, Li Mojun's expression was not very good. She looked very worried.
Sensing Lin Xuan's gaze, she raised her eyes and glared at Lin Xuan. A faint blush flashed across her beautiful white face.
Lin Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart. Tonight, Li Xuan would probably arrange a marriage between the two of them. He really did not know how to face this girl in the future.
"Brother Ning! I heard that you have already refined a high-grade spirit sword. Is that true? "
A young man beside him asked Lin Xuan curiously.
This young man was seventeen or eighteen years old. His name was Li Zhiliang, and he was a disciple of the side family. He had been Lin Xuan's classmate for a few days.
The young man was not very shrewd. The jealousy and disgust on his face could hardly be concealed.
Hearing this, the others at the table couldn't help but be greatly surprised. They curiously sized up Lin Xuan, their eyes revealing an inquisitive look.
Even the neighboring tables quieted down and looked over in unison.
Lin Xuan smiled faintly and said, "I was just lucky. Actually, it's mainly due to Miss Mo Jun."
"Oh! So it was all thanks to Second Miss! Like I said, how could a newcomer who has only been in contact with refining tools for less than three months be able to refine a High Grade Spirit Tool! "Li Zhiliang raised his voice and sneered in a strange manner.
"You scared me to death! So it was just a rumor! "
"Hmph, it's already not bad for a man who fights in the pugilistic world to be able to learn a few spiritual inscriptions, yet he wants to refine a spiritual artifact? How is this possible?! "
"Exactly! I don't know why the Patriarch would treat a country bumpkin so favorably. "
The other people at the same table whispered to each other and looked at Lin Xuan with ridicule.
Although they were whispering, their voices were not soft. At least, the surrounding tables could hear them.
Lin Xuan did not care and laughed it off.
A dragon does not associate with a snake, and a phoenix does not dance with a chicken. He naturally did not take the opinions of some mediocre people to heart and did not bother to explain anything.
In his opinion, among the younger generation of the Li family, only the siblings, Li Mojun and Li Mohan, would be able to achieve great things in the future.
Li Mojun was not even 20 years old, but she was already an expert in the middle level of the God Astral Realm. Her martial arts talent was not low.
Li Mohan, on the other hand, had already cast a firm Confucian heart at such a young age and cultivated an awe-inspiring righteousness. Her future achievements were bound to be limitless.
As for the others, most of them were just waiting to die.
However, he did not take the surrounding ridicule to heart, but Li Mojun could not stand it anymore.
She snorted and said coldly, "What right do you have to laugh at others? Ning Que has only been learning refining tools for less than three months, but he has already learned thousands of spiritual inscriptions and 63 arrays. Which one of you can do that? "
"What! How is this possible? "
"Is it true?"
"He learned thousands of spiritual inscriptions and 63 arrays in three months? Oh my god! What kind of monster is this! "
The surrounding people could not help but open their mouths in shock, their faces full of disbelief.
"Sister Jun, is this really the case?"
A cute little girl in her teens wrinkled her nose and asked Li Mojun.
"When have I ever lied?"
Li Mojun smiled and casually pinched the little girl's nose, causing the little girl to be displeased.
After getting Li Mojun's confirmation, the surrounding people suddenly shut up, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Lin Xuan chuckled and shook his head. This banquet was too damn boring.
"You guys take your time, I'll go out for a while."
He simply got up and walked towards the garden not far away.
Speaking of which, he was only 20 years old now, and most of the people around him were his age.
However, he had lived two lives and spent most of these years fighting for his life. Every day, he fought with some geniuses, peerless geniuses, and even various old devils. In terms of wisdom, he had long surpassed the level of these young people.
He could not even be bothered to deal with these young people.
"Humph! What's so great about having some talent? If you want to become a true blacksmith master, you need more than just talent! "
"That's right!"
"…"
Seeing that Lin Xuan had left the banquet, the surrounding people started to talk bitterly again.
Lin Xuan could not be bothered with them. He walked into the garden at a moderate pace and took out a bottle of wine that he had brought from the Valley of the Deities. As he drank, he pondered about something.
Today, he had killed Zhao Yongquan, which meant that he was completely on the opposite side of the Shen family and the imperial slaves. He had to be more careful in his actions in the future.
The imperial slaves were everywhere and it was impossible to guard against them. Perhaps there were many spies of the imperial slaves in the Saint Lotus Path and the Sanctuary Alliance.
If these spies were to take action at a critical moment, it would cause great harm to him or the Saint Lotus Path.
However, it was impossible to guard against them alone. All he could do was to increase his vigilance and at the same time, increase his strength.
He had to admit that the appearance of the imperial slaves had brought him a great deal of pressure, which he had never felt before.
However, very quickly, this pressure was thrown to the back of his mind.
Lin Xuan shook his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky. He laughed self-deprecatingly, "Haha, the older I get, the more cowardly I become. At most, I will start all over again!
No matter if it is the Saint Lotus Path, the Sanctuary Alliance, or the Sage King's fief, they are all empty. Only my own existence is the most important. If things are not going well, I can leave this world. What's there to be afraid of?
Moreover, Shen Yukun may not represent the entire imperial slaves! "
At this moment, light footsteps could be heard from behind him.
Lin Xuan did not need to turn around to know that it was Li Mojun.
He sat down on a rock and calmly looked at the young girl who was walking towards him.
Today, Li Mojun was wearing a long, dark green dress that accentuated her curvaceous figure. Coupled with her face that was even more beautiful than a flower, and the noble and elegant temperament that came from an aristocratic family, she was radiating brilliance. Lin Xuan couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
"What's the matter?" Lin Xuan asked.
Li Mojun looked at Lin Xuan with a complicated expression. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Ning Que, grandfather should have already told you about the engagement, right?"
"That's right!" Lin Xuan smiled and took a sip of wine.
Li Mojun was anxious and said coldly, "I hope you can reject me!"
Lin Xuan was not surprised by Li Mojun's reaction.
However, he shook his head and said with a frown, "Why should I reject you?"
Li Mojun said coldly, "I don't like you! Even if you can get my body, you will not get my heart. "
Lin Xuan was stunned.
He did not have many thoughts about Li Mojun, but being rejected by a woman in front of him still made him unhappy.
He gradually smiled and looked the young girl up and down. He said teasingly, "With your beauty, I am already satisfied to have your body. As for who your heart is with, I don't care."
"You!"
Li Mojun was so angry that she choked. Her beautiful eyes were burning with anger and her towering chest was heaving up and down rapidly.
Lin Xuan looked at the young girl's angry expression with interest.
But in the next moment, Li Mojun quickly calmed his anger, and his face regained its calm.
She said coldly, "Ning Que, I know what you want. I can give it to you!"
"Oh? You know what I want? "Lin Xuan was stunned.
Li Mojun stared at Lin Xuan and said, "Ning Que, I believe that you are not someone who indulges in women's charms. You came to my Li Family to get my Li Family's Artifact Refining Inheritance, right? "
Lin Xuan smiled and did not comment.
Li Mojun continued, "But I want to tell you that even if your talent is outstanding, you are still an outsider. Even if you marry me, you will still be an outsider.
According to the Li Family's tradition, even if we pass on a profound Artifact Refining Inheritance to you, it will not be for a short period of time. It could be five years, ten years, twenty years, or even longer! "
Lin Xuan frowned slightly. He knew that Li Mojun's words were very likely true.
However, if he needed five years, ten years, or twenty years to get the profound Artifact Refining Inheritance, he was afraid that he could not wait that long.
"What are you trying to say?" Lin Xuan showed some interest.
Li Mojun hesitated for a moment and suddenly sent a private message, "Ning Que! As long as you can reject this marriage, I can give you a chance to receive my Li Family's complete Artifact Refining Inheritance! "
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up. He also sent a private message, "Be more specific!"
Li Mojun sent a message, "In our Li Family's forbidden land, there is a Copper Man of Inheritance. It contains all of the Li Family's Artifact Refining Inheritance. If you can come into contact with the Copper Man, you have a chance to receive the Artifact Refining Inheritance. The higher your talent, the more Inheritance you will receive, and the more profound it is.
However, only the direct descendants of our Li Family have the chance to come into contact with this Copper Man. Moreover, it is only once a year.
The next time the forbidden land opens is ten days later.
If you can reject this marriage, I can think of a way to secretly bring you into our Li Family's forbidden land and give you this chance! "
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed. He could not help but be tempted.
If what Li Mojun said was true, this seemed to be a good suggestion.
He frowned and thought for a moment. He sent a message, "Actually, we can do this. You can agree to the marriage first. After ten days, when I receive the Inheritance —"
Li Mojun's face turned angry, "You don't trust me?"
Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head, "It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that I really don't have a good reason to reject this marriage. Aren't you the same?"
Li Mojun sighed helplessly, "Alright, continue. What will happen after you receive the Inheritance?"
Lin Xuan said seriously, "I will disappear."
"Hmm? What do you mean? "Li Mojun was stunned.
Lin Xuan said, "It means what I said. I will disappear from the Li Family, disappear from your sight."
A trace of surprise flashed across Li Mojun's face.
Lin Xuan continued, "Not only that, I can also help you clear the misunderstanding with Bai Yifan."
Li Mojun blinked her beautiful eyes and shook her head sadly, "No need! It's already impossible between Bai Yifan and me. "
"Alright then, do as you wish. I just want to get what I want. "Lin Xuan smiled.
Li Mojun hesitated for a moment, then nodded solemnly, "Alright, it's a promise! We'll find an opportunity to make a vow another day! "
Lin Xuan smiled playfully, "You don't trust me?"
"Hmph! People's hearts are unpredictable! Especially you martial artists. Who knows how many schemes you have in your stomach? I have to be careful! "Li Mojun glared at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head, not saying anything.
At this moment, the two of them did not know that in this short period of time, their marriage had changed.
