209: sisters

Lin Xin's wedding was set for a sunny day.

On this day, the entire Zhou Garden was decorated with lanterns and streamers, bustling with activity.

Zhou Luo didn't like such a grand commotion, but he couldn't resist his father-in-law Lord's enthusiasm, and since he was the Elder in charge of the Zhou Family's logistics, arranging things was easy for him.

The vast Zhou Garden was filled with colorful ribbons and red cloth, conspicuous " Happy" characters were pasted on the doors and windows, and various Talismans emitted colorful light, creating an extremely magnificent scene.

Guests were arranged in the large open space in front of the Zhou Garden's main building, everyone had already taken their seats, clinking glasses and chatting enthusiastically.

Inside the main building, the Main Family's direct descendants and relatives like Lin Zhishou were gathered together, chatting animatedly.

As the groom, Zhou Luo sat in the room, obediently accepting his wife Lin Xi's "makeup".

"Actually, this is quite good," he said with considerable helplessness.

He thought to himself, he had at least come to a Cultivation world, so why were there still so many wedding rules?

So much so that he hadn't gotten used to it even after getting married three times.

Lin Xi chuckled softly, "That won't do, Third Sister's status is different, it has to be grander."

Lin Xin's status had always been higher than Lin Xi's, and she was also greatly favored by the Family Head.

Originally, according to the Family's arrangement, she was supposed to enter the Azure Origin Sect for Cultivation in the future.

But later, because Zhou Luo became Lin Zhishou's Disciple, the Main Family had to arrange for her to come and compete with him.

Unexpectedly, by a strange coincidence, the two competitors actually became husband and wife.

From this, it could also be seen that the Main Family wanted to completely tie Zhou Luo down, which was why they consecutively married off two Main Family direct descendants.

This matter also aroused envy, jealousy, and hatred among many others.

Especially those Immortal Family Disciples who were eagerly waiting to marry Lin Xin.

Normally, a marriage between two Longevity Families was a long-term plan, beneficial for the Family's development, and could also enhance the influence of both parties within the Family.

But this Zhou Luo, clearly an outsider, it was one thing that you married a Fifth Miss, but now you're even marrying the Third Miss, how come all the good luck is taken by you alone?

The Lin Family actually considered this point.

As the saying goes, "fertilizer water doesn't flow to outsiders' fields."

A woman marrying out is like water poured out; even if she is very close to her original Family, she is still considered an outsider.

But marrying Zhou Luo was different; both Lin Xin and Lin Xi could stay in the Lin Family to continue their Cultivation and growth.

Considering everything, the Main Family choosing Zhou Luo as a son-in-law was understandable.

"The bride is here!"

Just as they were speaking, a voice full of vigor came from outside.

Lin Xi smiled faintly, "Alright, let's go downstairs."

Zhou Luo, dressed in the groom's attire, shrugged and walked downstairs.

In the main hall of the main building, Lin Xin's parents sat on the right side of the main seats, while Family Head Lin Tianxiong sat on the left.

A round table was placed in the middle, with two large red candles on it...

Zhou Luo walked out from the side, and the bride also happened to step onto the red cloth on the ground, moving with graceful steps, and entered the hall.

On both sides, guests with better relationships looked up one after another, their faces filled with smiles.

With the appearance of the couple, it was naturally time to bow to the sky and earth.

After bowing to the sky and earth, Lin Ze, Tenth Elder gave a few customary pieces of advice, then took out a storage bag as a red envelope and handed it over.

Family Head Lin Tianxiong sat upright in an armchair, his expression composed, also offered a few words of encouragement, and took out a storage bag as well.

"Send them to the bridal chamber!"

A loud shout announced that the two were officially married.

Lin Xin returned to the room, while Zhou Luo began to entertain the guests.

Inside the room, Lin Xin, wearing a large red veil, her nostrils twitched slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

She simply lifted off the red veil directly.

This scene was just seen by Lin Xi as she entered, and the two immediately stared at each other, frozen in place.

Originally, Lin Xi was worried that her Third Sister might be bored, so she wanted to come and keep her company, and also discreetly inquire about her views on their other sisters.

Unexpectedly, she saw this scene.

"Cough cough, I'm a little unaccustomed," Lin Xin said with an awkward expression.

Lin Xi smiled sweetly and said nothing.

Just thinking of her Third Sister's usual aloof and proud appearance, her movements became a little reserved.

"Third Sister, have some tea." She held a cup of spirit tea and handed it over.

Lin Xin looked at her own younger sister and asked doubtfully, "Are you very afraid of me?"

"How could that be?" Lin Xi gave a sheepish smile.

Of course, she was afraid.

When she was little, she would pester this Third Sister every day and talk to her.

But the other party always ignored her, and even fiercely warned her not to follow her.

So much so that it left Lin Xi with a childhood trauma, and she never had a close friend since then.

Until she met Zhou Luo.

Precisely because there was no communication, she understood her Third Sister less and less, and what she knew was only what she heard from the servants on a daily basis.

In her eyes, this Third Sister was aloof, had a bad temper, always beat and scolded the servants, and acted without restraint, truly not deserving of being called a "good person".

It was precisely because of this that she was afraid of the other party.

Seeing her younger sister's appearance, Lin Xin took the spirit tea and sighed, "When you were little, I didn't like you pestering me every day because I hoped you could cultivate properly and gain the Family's attention in the future."

"People like us, if they don't have strength in the Family, even if they are direct descendants, will ultimately only be sacrificed."

"Fortunately, you were finally able to focus on Cultivation later. Although you and I, sisters, still couldn't escape the Family's arrangements, we can at least resist a little and won't be completely without confidence."

Lin Xin's words made Lin Xi slightly stunned.

She didn't expect things to be like this, and couldn't help but ask, "Third Sister, why didn't you tell me at that time?"

"Didn't I?" Lin Xin raised an eyebrow and said exasperatedly, "You were like sticky candy back then, you couldn't be shaken off no matter what, and whatever good words I said were useless, so there was nothing I could do."

Lin Xi gave an awkward smile.

It seemed she really was like that.

Only when she thought of what the other party had just said did Lin Xi realize that her Third Sister still wished her well.

It was just that the method was still a bit wrong.

"Then you beat and scolded the servants?" Lin Xi remembered those rumors and asked cautiously.

Taking a sip of spirit tea, Lin Xin asked back with a straight face, "Servants who always think about slacking off and being deceitful, why can't they be punished?"

Her childhood life was actually not as good as imagined.

Because she realized from a young age that strength was king, she spent every day in stealth and meditation since she started Cultivation, and thus neglected the management of her servants.

Later, she discovered that these guys who were usually respectful and deferential were not only lazy and didn't do work while she was Cultivating, but even stole things from the courtyard.

They thought Lin Xin was still young and wouldn't notice.

But how could the precocious Lin Xin not know?

Afterwards, there was naturally a round of severe scolding and punishment.

Looking at the group of servants kneeling and begging for mercy, Lin Xin ultimately did not report this matter to her Father.

Otherwise, according to the Family rules, they would all have to be executed.

After the punishment, she drove these guys out and arranged for them to be assigned to other members of the Family.

Later, she didn't expect that these guys would twist the facts and turn the tables on her.

Lin Xin, who learned the news, was extremely angry, directly dragged these guys out, and beat them to death on the spot.

And from then on, she developed a deep sense of disgust towards these low-status individuals.

In her eyes, there must be something hateful about pitiful people; instead of appearing kind and being easily bullied, it was better to be a bit colder to avoid encountering such disgusting things again.
