200: go home

The matter of getting married was something Zhou Luo had long anticipated; he knew it wouldn't be as simple as it seemed on the surface.

That's why later, he made the request to Lin Xin for her to help him with three things.

What's more, after getting married, he wouldn't be the one suffering the loss; the only thing to worry about was the Great Elder's opinion.

However, Foundation Establishment isn't as simple as imagined; even with a Foundation Establishment Pill, success isn't guaranteed.

Otherwise, Immortal Family like the Lin Family wouldn't have only one Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor overseeing them.

"I remember. Don't worry, I definitely won't disturb you when the Time comes," Lin Xin said with a serious expression.

She had no objection to the marriage.

Anyway, they would only have the name of husband and wife, not the reality.

It just so happened that she intended to focus on Cultivation, which also saved her a lot of trouble.

"Alright, but I have one condition: you cannot be the main wife," Zhou Luo said.

The main wife is the mistress of Zhou Garden, a very important position.

After all, a good main wife contributes to the stability of his harem. He didn't want the harem to be in constant turmoil, as that would be detrimental to the peace of Zhou Garden and also affect his Cultivation.

"Is this one of those three things?" Lin Xin asked, blinking her beautiful eyes.

"What are you thinking?" Zhou Luo directly dispelled her notion.

Lin Xin felt a surge of disappointment in her heart. After chatting with him about returning home, she left.

According to the Family, the outside world was dangerous, and who knows how many people were coveting them.

So, they were to return home following Eighth Elder Lin Guangming and the others.

To this, Zhou Luo naturally had no objection.

He couldn't wait to go back right now.

Three days later, Fifth Elder Lin Yan temporarily stayed in Jiang City to handle relevant matters, while the others, led by Lin Guangming, embarked on the journey home.

Although Lin Guangming only had "Qi Training stage, eighth level" Cultivation, with this giant flying boat, unless a Foundation Establishment Expert attacked, they didn't need to worry about safety.

There weren't many rooms on the flying boat. Perhaps it was the Family Head's instruction, or perhaps it was Lin Guangming's private arrangement.

Zhou Luo was arranged to stay in the same room as Lin Xin.

This matter immediately caused a wave of envy among the other Family Cultivator.

You know, he had just married the Family's Fifth Miss a little over a "Nian" ago.

Now he was going to marry the Third Miss.

It was simply enough to make others green with envy.

However, given the talent Zhou Luo had displayed, this was also reasonable.

In Immortal Family, women are basically tools for marriage alliances. Even Pill Refining geniuses like Wang Yuwei, who possesses the Luan and Phoenix Harmony Body, could not escape this fate.

Of course, part of the reason was that the Wang Family had not discovered her special Physique.

Zhou Luo was definitely capable of being promoted to a Second-Order Alchemist. To win him over, the Lin Family would stop at nothing.

Because a Second-Order Alchemist can refine Foundation Establishment Pills, this means the Family could potentially produce multiple Foundation Establishment Expert.

Especially since the Wang Family had recently established ties with an Immortal Sect like Azure Spring True Sect, it made the Lin Family feel a sense of urgency.

They certainly didn't want the Wang Family to poach Zhou Luo when the time came.

They could only retain him with kinship and good treatment.

"I'm sleeping on the bed."

In the room, Zhou Luo sat on the bed and said seriously.

"Hey, I'm the Family's Third Miss," Lin Xin said, displeased.

"So what? I'm your shield," Zhou Luo said calmly.

These days, because of Wang Yuwei's matter and their upcoming marriage, Lin Xin's attitude towards Zhou Luo had improved significantly.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Luo became bolder than usual.

Lin Xin glared at him resentfully. Although displeased, she still obediently sat cross-legged on the jade platform beside her to cultivate.

There was nothing she could do; she was in the wrong.

The days on the flying boat passed quickly, and they were getting closer and closer to Maple Leaf City.

One day, Lin Guangming came to the room very enthusiastically and said with a smile, "Zhou Luo, I have reported your matter back to the Family. The Family Head is very happy and said he wants to reward you."

Actually, Zhou Luo didn't do anything particularly important on this trip to Jiang City.

It was nothing more than saving Wang Yuwei and killing the two Array Master from the Lu Family.

The former should logically have been rewarded by the Wang Family, and as for the latter, no one knew about it except Zhou Luo himself.

Therefore, the reward mentioned by Lin Guangming was actually just an excuse to win him over.

"Then I thank the Family for their great kindness," Zhou Luo said politely.

When someone offers money, only a fool wouldn't take it.

Three days later, the flying boat successfully appeared above Maple Leaf City and headed directly towards the Lin Family, finally landing within the Family grounds.

The appearance of the flying boat attracted many Family disciples to watch.

After the group of Cultivator disembarked, Zhou Luo, led by Lin Guangming, went directly to the Core Area.

The Family Head's courtyard.

Lin Tianxiong rarely welcomed someone personally. He looked at Zhou Luo, smiled, and strode over.

"It's good that you're back."

Zhou Luo bowed and saluted, "I made the Family Head worry."

"Haha, on the path of Cultivation, there's no smooth sailing. Experiencing more trials is also excellent," Lin Tianxiong consoled him.

"The Family Head is right."

Zhou Luo nodded on the surface, but inwardly, he disagreed a thousand times over.

As for trials and tribulations, for him, they simply didn't exist.

As long as his lifespan was long enough, and he devoted himself to Cultivation, he could become an immortal even without experiencing trials.

If he wasn't forced, he would rather never experience trials in his entire life.

Following Lin Tianxiong back to the Dragon Palace Great Hall, Lin Tianxiong sat on the main throne and instructed his subordinates to bring out two storage bags.

"On this trip to Jiang City, you performed very well. This storage bag is a reward from the Family, and the other one was specially sent by the Wang Family to thank you."

Zhou Luo took the storage bags and first looked at the Wang Family's storage bag. He found that there were quite a few Cultivation resources inside, including Spirit Pills, Talismans, and even magic artifacts. It was truly generous.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

If Zhou Luo hadn't saved her, Wang Yuwei wouldn't have gotten that Opportunity to enter Azure Spring True Sect.

Coupled with the fact that the Wang Family also wanted to win over this future Second-Order Alchemist, they naturally spared no expense.

It's estimated that the Lin Family also saw how generous the Wang Family was and followed suit, finding an excuse to properly reward him.

"Thank you, Family Head. From now on, I will definitely serve the Lin Family with utmost dedication until my death," Zhou Luo said with a serious expression.

Having gained a benefit, it was natural to express loyalty properly.

Otherwise, he might not get anything in the future.

Hearing this, Lin Tianxiong's smile widened. He praised repeatedly, "My Lin Family truly didn't misjudge you. So, when do you plan to marry Xin'er?"

"Please let the Family Head decide," Zhou Luo threw the question back to him.

"You've just returned home. Wait for a while, and I'll have someone arrange it," Lin Tianxiong said with a light smile.

"Alright," Zhou Luo replied respectfully, not refusing.

After that, Lin Tianxiong encouraged him a few more times, implying in his words that the Family highly valued him and even intended to let him live in the Core Area.

The Family's Core Area has always been the living area for the Main Family disciples.

Zhou Luo didn't want to overstep, nor did he want to explicitly side with the Main Family like this.

So, he temporarily refused.

Lin Tianxiong didn't insist and simply let him go back.

Leaving the Core Area, Zhou Luo walked with light steps towards Zhou Garden.

He was finally home!
