408: I do

"Hey!"

Qing Ya Zi did not wait for White Cloud Master to finish, waving his big hand with a look of disdain on his face.

"When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out! The marriage contract is naturally void! It's just a marquis family from a Dynasty!

Relying on a little power in the mortal world, do they really think they are someone?

In the eyes of us immortal sects, they are nothing but ants and dust!

Rest assured, Dao Brother, in two days, I will have the head of our sect's Law Enforcement Hall go to the Meng family personally and give them a good 'lesson'!

Let them understand what it means to be different, between immortal and mortal, and what it means to... know their place!"

His tone was light, yet it carried an unquestionable domineering air.

Clearly, to facilitate this marriage, a marquis manor was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Seeing that Qing Ya Zi had spoken to this extent, even revealing secrets like the Profound Yin Physique, White Cloud Master felt the sincerity was sufficient.

His heart was moved, and a smile appeared on his face: "Since that is the case... Delong!"

He called out loudly.

On the ring, Yao Delong had just taken a Medicinal Pill and adjusted his breath for a moment.

Suppressing the backlash of the soul devouring true spirit sword, he was affectionately stroking the sword body of this supreme grade heavenly artifact, feeling the terrifying power contained within it.

Hearing the Sect Head's call, he immediately stood up, flashed, and arrived on the high platform, bowing to White Cloud Master and the various Peak Revered Masters.

"Disciple is here."

"Hmm."

White Cloud Master looked at this Disciple who had created miracles time and again, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became. He pointed to the smiling Qing Ya Zi beside him and said:

"This is Sect Master Qing Ya Zi of the Moyang Sect.

Just now, Sect Master Qing Ya mentioned that he wishes to betroth his beloved Disciple, Junior Niece Li Linger, to you, to forge a bond between our two sects.

I wonder what you think?"

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like throwing a giant rock into a calm lake!

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Yao Delong and Li Linger!

The smiles on the faces of Lin Qingxue, Liu Rumei, and Luo Miaomiao froze instantly, their beautiful eyes filled with astonishment and an indescribable tension.

Lin Shishi was also slightly stunned, then looked at Yao Delong with complex eyes.

Li Linger was so shy she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, her head bowed low, not daring to look at anyone.

Only her slightly trembling body and flushed earlobes betrayed the turmoil in her heart.

Yao Delong was also caught off guard, not expecting the Sect Head to bring this up suddenly.

He subconsciously looked at Li Linger, and just happened to see Li Linger secretly raising her eyes to look at him due to extreme shyness.

Their eyes met!

Time seemed to stretch infinitely at this moment.

Yao Delong looked at Li Linger, who had her head bowed, flushed earlobes, and a slightly trembling body.

In those secretly raised eyes, there was shyness, anticipation, and a hint of unquestionable firmness.

The young girl's feelings were like a stream in early spring, clear to the bottom, without reservation.

However, in this subtle and romantic atmosphere, Yao Delong suddenly felt a chill on his back!

Three cold gazes, like tangible blades, almost piercing through him, stabbed into his spine like three swords quenched in ice!

Without turning around, he knew who they belonged to—Lin Qingxue, Liu Rumei, and Luo Miaomiao!

Yao Delong's internal alarm bells rang loudly, and he secretly thought: "Not good!"

If he agreed on the spot, the vinegar jars of those three ladies behind him would probably overturn the entire Tianshu Peak!

Calming them down would definitely be a hundred times harder than fighting another Blood Net!

But this was a marriage proposal made publicly by the leaders of two great immortal sects!

It concerned the face and future relationship of both sects!

If handled poorly, let alone romantic entanglements, he feared it would immediately leave the Moyang Sect unable to step down, perhaps even planting seeds of resentment!

In a flash, thoughts raced through Yao Delong's mind, and he made a decision instantly—shift the blame!

This big, round pot had to be passed to the most suitable person!

He took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and put on an expression of appropriate "respect" and "confusion".

He bowed to White Cloud Master and Qing Ya Zi: "Disciple... Disciple will follow Revered Master's arrangements."

After speaking, he looked "helpfully" at Leng Yuekui, who stood to the side, cold as the moon.

How clever was Leng Yuekui? She instantly understood what her Disciple was planning.

This kid was afraid of a fire in his backyard and wanted her, his Revered Master, to be the villain, or at least share the pressure!

Her cold gaze swept over Lin Qingxue, who was already looking a bit pale not far away, and she sighed slightly in her heart.

She looked at the smiling Qing Ya Zi, her voice clear, carrying a hint of a Peak Revered Master's unquestionable dignity:

"Dao Brother Qing Ya, I do not object to this marriage contract. Delong is growing older and has achieved success in cultivation; it is indeed time to consider a Dao Companion."

The smile on Qing Ya Zi's face grew wider, and just as he was about to speak, Leng Yuekui changed the subject, her gaze sharp as she looked directly at him:

"However, Dao Brother should also know that with the talent and potential Delong has shown today, his future achievements will be limitless; he is destined to be a True Dragon soaring through the Nine Heavens.

For such a person, the path of the Dao is long, and as for confidantes... I fear there may not be only one. I wonder what your sect's attitude towards this is? And whether Junior Niece Linger is willing?"

As these words were spoken, it was like throwing another giant rock into a calm lake!

The area around the high platform became much quieter instantly.

Countless gazes focused again, filled with amusement, surprise, and anticipation.

Leng Yuekui's question was truly hitting the nail on the head!

She brought the potential "hidden dangers" of the future out into the open!

The smile on Qing Ya Zi's face faltered slightly; he clearly hadn't expected Leng Yuekui to be so direct.

He subconsciously looked at his beloved Disciple.

Just at this moment of being the center of attention, with such a subtle atmosphere!

"I do!"

A crisp, firm, and even slightly unquestionable young girl's voice rang clearly through the entire venue, like jade beads falling on a plate!

Li Linger suddenly raised her head. Although her pretty face was still covered in a rosy flush, her clear eyes shone with unprecedented bravery and persistence!

She no longer dodged, looking burningly at Yao Delong, then turning to her Revered Master and Leng Yuekui. Her voice was not loud, but every word was clear:

"As long as Brother Yao treats me well! Treats me sincerely! The rest... I don't care!"

Boom!

The whole place was in an uproar again!

This little princess of the Moyang Sect was actually so bold, so proactive!

This was almost a public declaration that she, Li Linger, had set her heart on Yao Delong!

Even if there might be others by his side in the future, she was willing!

This sentiment, this determination, moved countless people!

Yao Delong was also stunned. Looking at the young girl who was unbelievably brave, an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart.

There was surprise, there was being moved, and there was also a hint of... confusion.

He asked himself, was he really that good? Worth her going to such lengths?

He didn't know that in the God Burial Abyss Secret Realm, from the moment he saved Li Linger from the herd of Yao Beasts, that tall figure, straight as a sword, turning the tide, had long been deeply imprinted in the young girl's heart.

As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, not to mention that Yao Delong was a peerless Prodigy who shone brightly and slew Soul Transformation experts!

At this moment in the girl's eyes, he was that peerless hero who came stepping on colorful auspicious clouds!

Leng Yuekui was also slightly stunned by Li Linger's sudden bold declaration, and then a trace of imperceptible appreciation flashed in her eyes. This girl was truly one who dared to love and hate.
