110: Father-in-law visits

Their chat lasted for several hours.

During this Time, Lin Xi also invited him for a walk.

Strolling in the beautiful courtyard, the two chatted so formally for the first Time.

They talked about the scene when they first met.

They talked about the punishment at the Spirit Mine.

They talked about her past and his past.

Compared to Zhou Luo, Lin Xi's life seemed richer.

So most of the Time, she was the one talking.

She seemed to have not chatted with anyone like this for a long Time, so once she started, she couldn't stop.

Zhou Luo walked alongside her, listening to her past, listening to her joys and sorrows...

Until the afterglow of the setting sun fell.

Zhou Luo turned his head to look.

That ray of dim yellow light pierced through the clouds, landing on their shoulders, dyeing them with a faint layer of golden yellow.

Her hair gently swayed in the breeze, and the faint light reflected her fair and delicate face.

This woman's heart seemed to hide many, many things.

Lin Xi looked up at the sky, with points of light flickering in her eyes.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected in her pupils, as if illuminating her inner world.

She suddenly turned her head to look at Zhou Luo, her smile so uniquely charming.

"Zhou Luo, thank you. This is the first Time I've talked to someone for so long. I feel very happy."

"You're welcome."

Zhou Luo stopped in place, smiling.

"See you tomorrow."

Lin Xi smiled and waved.

Zhou Luo nodded and then left.

On the way, recalling the Time they spent together that morning, Zhou Luo had a different view of this Fifth Miss.

Perhaps marrying her was not a bad thing.

He thought so in his heart.

After returning home, he first found Lin Jinxuan and informed her of the previous matter.

"Okay." Lin Jinxuan didn't refuse, but a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Zhou Luo hugged her and comforted her, "I won't let you suffer any grievances."

Lin Jinxuan softly hummed in agreement.

After resolving this matter, Zhou Luo came to his own exclusive room.

This room was a place specifically for him to put things. The walls were also pasted with soundproof spiritual talisman he had refined, just to prevent others from prying.

At present, the room was already filled with some items.

They were all gifts from important figures in the Zhou Family.

After hearing that he had been promoted to an Upper-Grade Alchemist, he didn't know how many people came to give gifts today.

It was fortunate that he was with the Family Head at that Time, otherwise he would definitely have been annoyed to death.

Without seeing him, these people left their gifts and left.

As for these gifts, Zhou Luo naturally accepted them all.

He came to the table, took out the storage ring, and took out all the rewards from the Zhou Family inside.

It must be said that the Zhou Family was really generous this Time.

There were nearly a hundred Spirit Stone alone, and daily food like spiritual rice and spiritual fruits were countless.

In addition, there were some low-level magic artifacts, Pills, spiritual talisman, and so on.

Although he couldn't use them himself, he could sell them for money.

Among them, what interested Zhou Luo the most was the pile of heavenly Materials and earthly treasures.

He actually found the Materials needed for the second stage of the Giant Bear Body Refining Art inside.

These Materials were exactly what the Immortal Sect didn't have.

He didn't expect the Zhou Family to directly bestow them upon him.

It was simply like finding a village in the shade of willows and bright flowers, obtaining everything without effort.

He first took out the spiritual rice and other food and handed them to the kitchen, then looked at the magic artifacts, Pills, and the like, planning to find Time to sell them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Luo couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This Zhou Garden indeed needed a housekeeper.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome to do everything himself.

It's just that this housekeeper still needs to be trustworthy, otherwise it's easy to expose himself.

Zhou Luo immediately thought of Xu Changsheng.

Now he was still at the Spirit Mine.

However, since the Main Family no longer cared about the Spirit Mine secret being exposed, he thought he might be able to call him back.

Although Xu Changsheng couldn't be said to be very loyal to him.

But he was a smart one.

Smart one would size up the situation.

When he realized that only by following him could he have a bright future, he definitely wouldn't betray him.

This matter was not urgent.

While tidying up, Zhou Luo also thought of the Materials he had brought back from the Immortal Sect.

There were quite a few of these Materials, and they were an important fortune.

Subsequently, Zhou Luo took out the Spirit Ascension Pill he had previously obtained from Lu An and handed it to Lin Qinghan.

Although Xiao Chang'an, who had obtained Innate Qi, was only three years old now, he could be cultivated as early as possible.

Even if he was just a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root, as long as his Foundation was laid well from a young age.

In the future, it might not be impossible for him to successfully Foundation Establishment.

What's more, who knew if there was a Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) reward in the System rewards?

After dinner, while Zhou Luo was bored and planning to do Pill Refining and Talisman Crafting, Lin De came to visit.

Zhou Garden, Lin De looked at the main building in the center, feeling a mix of emotions.

He recalled the contempt he felt when he first saw Zhou Luo, and a hint of awkwardness appeared on his face.

Who would have thought that a Son-in-law with only a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root would one day become a First-Order High-Grade Alchemist?

The other party's previous performance was already enough to surprise him.

This Time, returning from the Immortal Sect, shocked him even more.

Thinking that the other party would definitely be promoted to a Second-Order Alchemist and become an important figure in the Zhou Family in the future, Lin De regretted it greatly.

Why didn't he treat the other party better back then?

If he had known earlier, he would have interacted more and built rapport.

This way, perhaps his lineage could also receive some blessings and rise again.

He took a deep breath, calmed the fluctuations in his heart, and stepped towards the main building.

As soon as he entered the Dragon Palace Great Hall, he saw Zhou Luo sitting on the Grand Tutor's chair.

"Son-in-law, I heard you've become an Upper-Grade Alchemist. Congratulations."

Lin De smiled, his tone mixed with a subtle hint of respect.

Zhou Luo smiled faintly, "Father-in-law, you flatter me. Please sit."

Lin De sat down respectfully.

"May I ask why Father-in-law has come this Time?" Zhou Luo asked curiously.

"Son-in-law, actually, it's nothing much. I just thought it's been a long Time, so I should come and see you." Lin De said, and took out a magic artifact from his embrace.

"Since Son-in-law has successfully been promoted, I, as your Father-in-law, naturally have to bring some gifts."

Seeing that magic artifact, Zhou Luo quickly refused, "Father-in-law, absolutely not. I've received enough gifts."

"No, no, no, it's just a small token of appreciation, you must accept it." Lin De said firmly.

This was a crucial opportunity to build a good relationship with his Son-in-law, and he didn't want to miss it.

Helplessly, Zhou Luo had no choice but to put away the magic artifact.

Then Lin De kept praising his boundless future, saying that he had misjudged him back then, and so on.

Both openly and secretly, he wanted to befriend him, fearing that he might hold a grudge against him because of the events of that year.

Zhou Luo didn't have any dislike for the other party.

After all, putting himself in their shoes, if it were him.

If his only daughter married a guy with a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root, he would definitely be dissatisfied as well.

What's more, back then, that Mother-in-law even secretly gave him some Cultivation resources.

Zhou Luo said that the past was in the past.

Hearing this, Lin De finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, right, Son-in-law, there's one more thing." Lin De suddenly said.

"Is it that the Great Elder's people want to see me?" Zhou Luo seemed to see through his thoughts and asked back.

A trace of awkwardness flashed across Lin De's face. He nodded, "Second Elder wants to see you tomorrow."

As expected, when the people from the Great Elder's faction saw him return as an Upper-Grade Alchemist, it was impossible for them to do nothing.

Especially since he also went to see the Family Head today.

Some things that were meant to come would always come, and he couldn't avoid them.

"I understand." Zhou Luo nodded and did not refuse.

Second Elder was currently the person in charge of the Great Elder's faction, so he should go and see him.

Lin De felt relieved and left after chatting with him for a while.

After the other party left, Zhou Luo sat on the chair, thinking.

Why did that Second Elder want to see him...
