113: Goodbye Lin Xuanfeng

Walking out of the Second Elder's manor, Zhou Luo looked up at the clear blue sky.

The scorching sun hung high, and white clouds drifted.

How could the sky change just like that?

Thinking this, he walked towards his home.

Boom—

Just then, the originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and thunder rumbled.

It was going to rain.

Zhou Luo paused, shook his head with a smile, and continued walking.

Soon, raindrops began to fall, pattering against the white barrier above the Lin Family, making a crisp sound.

Zhou Garden.

As soon as Zhou Luo reached the entrance, he heard the guards say that Fifth Miss had arrived.

Hearing that Lin Xi had actually entered Zhou Garden alone to see Lin Jinxuan.

Zhou Luo thought to himself that something was wrong.

These two wouldn't start fighting directly because of their different stances, would they?

He quickly walked into Zhou Garden and went straight to the main building's hall.

But when he stood at the entrance of the hall, he was instantly dumbfounded.

Inside the hall, two beautiful women were chatting and laughing happily.

It was Lin Xi and Lin Jinxuan.

And from the looks of it, the two of them must have been chatting for a long time.

"Husband, you're back."

Noticing Zhou Luo at the entrance, Lin Jinxuan got up to greet him.

"You two?"

Zhou Luo walked into the hall, his gaze lingering on the two women.

The imagined shura field did not appear.

They seemed to be having a very good chat.

"Jinxuan Sister and I have already talked it over," Lin Xi said with a shallow smile, looking at her, her voice soft.

Lin Jinxuan also nodded, "Xi'er Sister's personality is even better than I imagined. We get along very well."

Hearing this, Zhou Luo looked puzzled, "Then who do you plan to let be the legal wife?"

Before Lin Xi could speak, Lin Jinxuan voluntarily said, "Xi'er Sister is from the Main Family, so naturally it should be her."

Zhou Luo was extremely surprised.

It seemed the two had reached a consensus.

This was good too, saving him the trouble of having to find a way to refuse the Main Family's good intentions.

"What about the others?" Zhou Luo asked again.

He was naturally referring to Lin Qinghan and the others.

"They have no objections," Lin Jinxuan said softly.

Only then did Zhou Luo feel relieved. He looked at Lin Xi and said seriously, "Then I'll trouble Fifth Miss to speak to the Family Head."

"Speak about what?" Lin Xi looked at him with a smile.

"Naturally, our marriage," Zhou Luo replied.

"Why should I be the one to say this? You're the one marrying me! Shouldn't you come to propose?"

Lin Xi smiled sweetly, a hint of slyness flashing in her bright eyes.

Zhou Luo immediately felt rude and said with slight embarrassment, "I was being presumptuous."

Only then did Lin Xi get up, walk to his side, and say with a light chuckle, "I'll wait for you."

After speaking, she looked at Lin Jinxuan, "Jinxuan Sister, see you in a few days."

"Okay," Lin Jinxuan nodded.

After Lin Xi left, Zhou Luo couldn't help but wonder, "How did you two get along so well? Did something happen?"

Lin Jinxuan's expression was gentle, and she said with emotion, "Actually, Xi'er Sister has a very good personality. I was overthinking things before."

"She told me that if she marries over, she will only be a member of the Zhou Family and no longer the Fifth Miss of the Lin Family, so she hopes I won't have any hostility."

"Moreover, she rarely interacts with people on a daily basis. Everyone fears and is in awe of her, but here she feels very relaxed and gets along well with all of us."

"I feel that even though she was arranged to marry over, if she really becomes the mistress of Zhou Garden, she probably won't mistreat us sisters."

He didn't expect Lin Xi to make Lin Jinxuan feel so much emotion.

As for Lin Xi's personality, Zhou Luo had always had a good impression.

Since she had convinced Lin Jinxuan, he had no objections either.

"However, Husband, Xi'er Sister is really good at chatting."

At this moment, Lin Jinxuan said with a smile at the corner of her mouth.

The two of them hadn't been sitting down for long before the other party couldn't wait to tell her everything that had happened in her life since she was a child.

And it was basically the other person doing all the talking.

Zhou Luo also felt this deeply. He said with a faint smile, "Perhaps she's used to being lonely. If she comes here in the future, Zhou Garden will probably be more lively."

"Mmm, then when do you plan to propose, Husband?" Lin Jinxuan asked.

"Since it's a proposal, there must be Elders present, and we need to prepare properly. I'll go and talk to Master about it."

After Zhou Luo finished speaking, he hurried towards Shouchun Garden again.

Along the way, people occasionally greeted Zhou Luo.

Before, when he walked on the road, others might not even look at him.

But after learning that he had become an Upper-Grade Alchemist, their attitude had changed 180 degrees.

"Zhou Luo."

Just then, a familiar voice called out to him.

Zhou Luo turned his head and saw that it was Lin Xuanfeng.

Wearing a black robe, he was still full of majesty. His sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, stared at him, and his chiseled face had no expression.

This Ninth Elder of the Family was still as oppressive as before.

This sense of oppression was different from that of the Second Elder.

The Second Elder's was more like an overwhelming power of Realm and strength, but the other person's was due to the gloomy and cold aura about him.

Being stared at by him was like being targeted by a poisonous snake.

It sent a chill down one's spine.

"Ninth Elder." Zhou Luo immediately bowed in greeting.

Lin Xuanfeng walked slowly, his eyes not moving an inch.

Only when he reached him did he speak, "You surprised me greatly."

In his plan, he did not intend to let Zhou Luo, who might know the secret of the Spirit Mine, return home.

But he didn't expect that the other party would break through to become an Upper-Grade Alchemist so quickly.

Lin Xuanfeng was very clear about what such a young Upper-Grade Alchemist meant.

So he gave up on targeting Zhou Luo.

Some plans that had been originally arranged were also canceled.

"It's all thanks to the Immortal Sect's help." Zhou Luo said sincerely.

"Ultimately, it depends on your own talent."

Lin Xuanfeng's gloomy face was as calm as water. He examined the other party, a strange light flickering in his eyes.

Feeling the other party's gaze, Zhou Luo asked, "May I ask why the Ninth Elder is looking for me?"

"Nothing. I'm just thinking, was Lin Xianlong's death really an accident?" Lin Xuanfeng said meaningfully.

Zhou Luo's heart sank.

Before he could open his mouth to explain, the other party spoke again, "Perhaps I'm being too cautious, don't think too much about it."

"You are the future of the Family now, work hard."

"Don't you have something to do? Go on."

A series of words came down, and Zhou Luo roughly understood the other party's meaning, so he did not continue to explain, but instead excused himself and left.

Behind him, Lin Xuanfeng was still staring at him.

He didn't actually care whether Lin Xianlong's death was an accident.

What he cared about more was, if all these things were designed and planned by Zhou Luo alone.

Then he would have to re-examine this son-in-law of the Family.

If a smart person is silent, it means they are waiting for the right Time.

He believed this son-in-law was a smart person, and if so, he must have something he was aiming for.

But during this Time, according to his understanding.

The other party still hadn't chosen to clearly stand on either side.

Then what was he aiming for?

Lin Xuanfeng couldn't figure it out for the Time being.

But he suddenly felt that this son-in-law of the Family was very interesting, and it seemed he would have to get to know him better in the future.

On the other side, it wasn't until he had walked past the corner that Zhou Luo let out a sigh of relief and relaxed his mind.

When facing Lin Xuanfeng just now, he always felt like a hunted prey, and the oppressive feeling that weighed directly on his heart had once made it difficult for him to breathe.

Especially that meaningful remark of his.

It clearly indicated that he had other ideas.

"What a dangerous person. It's better to have less contact with him in the future."

Zhou Luo thought to himself.
