143: Wang's solicitation

Qing City under the night sky was majestic and tall, like a giant beast prostrate on the ground.

Inside the city, the lights were as bright as day, and the densely packed buildings, residences, and shops were incredibly prosperous.

On the bustling streets, people came and went, weaving like shuttles, and the shouts of vendors could occasionally be heard, making it very lively.

The guards at the city gate saw the identities of the three and immediately bowed respectfully.

"Please follow me, three Lords."

Under the leadership of the guard captain, the three walked towards the Wang Family mansion.

Like the Lin Family, the Wang Family was also located in the central area of this giant city.

Countless buildings were connected together, covering a vast area, resembling a city within a city.

At the entrance of the Family, the plaque engraved with the words "Wang Family" was very eye-catching, the calligraphy was strong and vigorous, and it shimmered with a faint light.

It is said that this plaque was personally inscribed by the Wang Family's Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor, and it contains the Great Dao.

Ordinary people who look at it for a long time will feel a stinging pain in their eyes.

At the entrance, a Middle-aged man in brocade robes and luxurious clothes greeted them with a smile.

"Third Miss, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."

Seeing the three, the man immediately stepped forward, very amiable.

"Uncle Li." Lin Xin bowed.

The man's name was Wang Li, the third son of the Wang Family Head, and also Wang Lang's Father, Lin Xin's future Father-in-law.

As for why he is the Father-in-law.

Because Wang Lang was to marry into the Lin Family, not Lin Xin marrying out.

So, in a sense, calling Wang Li Father-in-law is not impossible.

Wang Li was a Manager within the Wang Family. His personal reception this time was also considered to have shown them enough respect.

"No need to be so polite, we will be Family from now on."

Wang Li smiled and helped Lin Xin up, then his gaze fell on Zhou Luo: "This must be Zhou Luo."

"Lord Wang." Zhou Luo cupped his hands.

"Don't be so distant, you can also call me Uncle Li like Third Miss."

Seeing Zhou Luo, the smile on Wang Li's face grew even wider, completely without the airs of a big shot.

Then, he greeted the three to enter the mansion.

Wang Family.

When the three appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the Family disciples.

This group of people had long heard that Zhou Luo would come. Everyone was extremely curious about this young Upper-Grade Alchemist.

At this moment, those men and women stood in the corridor, staring at Zhou Luo without blinking, and began to discuss among themselves.

"He is Zhou Luo? He is so young."

"I heard he is only in his twenties. If this continues, he will definitely become a Second-Order Alchemist in the future. I'm really envious."

"Envious of what? I heard he only has a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root. Without Realm support, who knows if he can even last until he becomes a Second-Order Alchemist."

"It is indeed a pity, but even so, his talent is enough to reverse the sky."

"I wonder if he has wives or concubines. I want to marry him."

...

Countless discussions clearly entered the ears of the few people. Zhou Luo didn't expect himself to be so famous in the Wang Family.

It just seems that many people are not very optimistic about him.

This is quite good.

A tall tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Being low-key is not a bad thing.

"What are you looking at? Why aren't you leaving?" Wang Li shouted sharply, his expression serious.

These Family disciples quickly retreated.

After they left, Wang Li put on a smile again and said to Zhou Luo: "Little Friend Zhou's reputation in the Wang Family is not small, it is inevitable to attract discussion, please forgive me."

Zhou Luo gently shook his head: "Lord Wang, it's okay."

"That's good."

Wang Li continued to lead the three all the way to a manor in the Core Area.

"The journey between the Wang and Lin Families is long, I guess you are also tired. Rest here tonight, and we can talk about anything tomorrow." Wang Li said to the three.

"Then we will trouble Uncle Li." Lin Xin thanked him.

"Come, I'll take you to see the rooms."

Wang Li kept smiling and led them to the Second Level of the main building.

There were three very spacious and bright rooms on the Second Level of the main building.

Lin Xin and Lin Dong exchanged glances, and finally chose to let Zhou Luo choose the middle room, while Lin Dong stayed in the room near the stair railing, and Lin Xin stayed in the innermost room.

Wang Li saw this scene, his eyes slightly darkened, but his face still held a smile: "Okay, there are sound transmission talismans in the rooms. If you need anything, you can directly summon the servants here. I will come to find you tomorrow."

After giving the instructions, he left.

After the other party left, Lin Dong called Lin Xin aside and whispered: "Third Miss, please be more careful tonight."

Although he also lived next door, just in case, he still had to instruct the other party.

Because he was worried that the Wang Family would privately contact Zhou Luo.

After all, with the talent Zhou Luo is currently displaying, he is completely a hot commodity in the eyes of other Longevity Families.

Even if he is now the Lin Family's son-in-law.

But who can guarantee that he will definitely stay in the Lin Family.

He does not have the Lin Family's Bloodline.

So the Wang Family will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win him over.

The good relationship between the Wang and Lin Families is unquestionable, but in the face of Family interests, this so-called alliance is really a bit fragile.

Lin Dong didn't know exactly what the Wang Family wanted to do, but he instinctively felt that the other party would take action.

He even planned not to sleep tonight and wait until after leaving the Wang Family.

Lin Xin understood his meaning and nodded gently.

At this time, Zhou Luo had entered the room. The first thing that caught his eye was a spacious and bright Space.

The tall wooden beams of the room supported a vast ceiling, and the carefully carved patterns between the beams cast mottled Shadows in the moonlight.

On the surrounding walls, the white plaster was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the soft light that filtered in from outside the window.

Several exquisite carpets were scattered casually on the floor, and the neatly arranged furniture exuded an antique atmosphere.

In the center of the room was a large bed, covered with an embroidered quilt.

A faint fragrance also permeated the air, making one feel refreshed and happy.

Zhou Luo sat on the round chair and poured a cup of spiritual tea.

More than twenty days of traveling had indeed made him feel mentally exhausted.

He planned to rest well after drinking this cup of tea.

Next door, Lin Xin sat upright on the round chair, paying attention to the movements outside the room.

Bang bang bang—

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

She got up and opened the door.

It was a maid with a respectful expression.

She lowered her head and whispered: "Third Miss, Miss Yuwei wants to see you."

Hearing that Wang Yuwei wanted to see her, Lin Xin frowned slightly: "What is it?"

"Miss Yuwei didn't say, but she said it was something very important." The maid said respectfully.

Lin Xin glanced at Lin Dong's room and found that the room was brightly lit, so the other party should not have slept yet.

So after hesitating for a moment, she nodded: "I understand."

With that, she walked out of the room, but instead of following the maid, she knocked on Zhou Luo's room again.

Zhou Luo opened the door with a puzzled expression.

Lin Xin stared at him, her face serious: "Don't open the door for anyone except me."

Zhou Luo was very puzzled by these words.

Then he suddenly realized that the other party was worried about him having contact with the Wang Family.

So he smiled: "I know."

Lin Xin didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Zhou Luo closed the door and chuckled: "Am I, Zhou Luo, someone who is so easily won over?"
