31: A good match, a happy marriage in the future; equivalent to seeing a son
Chapter 31: A Match Made in Heaven, Future Marriage; Is it like looking at a daughter-in-law?
At this moment, everyone showed curiosity.
They were all very satisfied with Long Haochen's character.
They just didn't expect him to be so mature so early.
"Little brother, tell your big sister, which little girl is it that you remember so clearly, and who even gave you this Forget-Me-Not ring directly?" Li Xin raised Long Haochen's arm, a smile on her lips, and asked directly.
Earlier, she had become Long Xingyu's disciple.
In a sense, she should call Long Haochen 'Senior Brother', but they still referred to each other as 'older sister' and 'younger brother'. After all, Li Xin was seven years older than Long Haochen, and he couldn't bring himself to call her 'Junior Sister'.
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Long Haochen's little face flushed, and he said, "It's not what you think."
"Then what is it?" Li Xin asked curiously.
Bai Yue also looked at them with interest at this moment, her gaze also turning towards Long Xingyu, a hint of confusion in her eyes, as if asking Long Xingyu what exactly had happened.
While she was interested, she knew her son well and was aware that he wouldn't have strange thoughts or behaviors.
But she still wanted to know what had happened.
Long Xingyu also let Long Haochen explain it himself.
Long Haochen quickly explained the whole situation, from meeting Cai'er, to being chased by a Wolf Demon, then collapsing from exhaustion, and seeing the mysterious assassin appear, after which he fainted.
After that, he was found and taken away by Long Xingyu.
Hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding.
According to their understanding of Long Haochen, this behavior was very characteristic of him.
However, a moment later, Long Haochen's expression suddenly changed, and he looked anxiously towards Long Xingyu.
There had been too many things happening before, coupled with the excitement of reuniting with his father, which made him overlook this matter. Now that he remembered it, he naturally became a little anxious.
He hurriedly asked, "Father, you came later and took me away."
"You must have seen that little girl, right?"
"She's fine, that mysterious white-robed assassin shouldn't have done anything to her, right?"
Long Haochen seemed a little flustered.
But Long Xingyu smiled, patted Long Haochen's head, and said, "Don't worry, that girl is fine."
"Her father is the Military Chief of Exorcist Pass, and her great-grandfather, Saint Moon, is the current Temple Head of the Assassin Temple. That white-robed assassin is her protector."
"He came to protect her and take her back to the Assassin Temple. How could anything happen to her?"
Long Xingyu explained.
Hearing this, Long Haochen let out a long sigh of relief. It's good that she's fine, it's good that she's fine.
Long Haochen was kind by nature.
If Cai'er had truly been in trouble, he might even have blamed himself for failing to protect her, which would have been a great blow to the current Long Haochen.
He might even have felt guilty for the rest of his life because of this.
But now, knowing that she was fine and might even become his Demon Hunt Squad partner in the future, Long Haochen was naturally happy about it!
And upon hearing Long Xingyu's explanation, Bai Yue reacted at this moment.
Looking at Long Xingyu, she asked, "That child, is she Ling Xin's child?"
"She's Ling Xin's eldest daughter, around Long Haochen's age, a few months younger than Hao Chen," Long Xingyu explained.
"That's wonderful! Ling Xin is someone you watched grow up, so this can be considered adding to the family ties. If they can truly get married, it would definitely be a good thing for the future of the Assassin Temple and the Knight Temple."
"Moreover, since she even gave him the Forget-Me-Not ring, it means that Hao Chen has definitely entered this child's heart, and there is indeed a possibility for their relationship to develop."
Bai Yue said with a smile.
Long Xingyu also nodded, saying, "I do have that idea. After Hao Chen's Sacred Awakening, I will take him to the Assassin Temple and discuss this matter with Senior Saint Moon."
Bai Yue nodded.
She expressed her agreement.
And hearing this, Long Haochen was utterly bewildered, looking at his parents with some hesitation, unsure what to say.
Were they already making arrangements?
However, recalling Cai'er at that time, a warm current also surged within Long Haochen's heart.
That girl was completely different from any other girl Long Haochen had ever seen; she truly made Long Haochen feel a sense of protection.
"Sacred Awakening?"
"According to what Father told me, when I reach one hundred points of external spiritual energy, he will help me with my Sacred Awakening. It's coming soon, I must quickly reach it!"
Long Haochen thought to himself.
At this moment, he had an immense anticipation for Sacred Awakening.
In the main hall of the Assassin Temple at Exorcist Pass.
Saint Moon sat in place, staring dumbfounded at Xia Zhe No. 1 in front of him.
He asked, "You said you saw Long Xingyu in that small place, Odin Town?"
"And you even let him know Cai'er's identity?"
Xia Zhe No. 1 nodded, indicating that it was indeed true.
"Yes, Temple Head." Xia Zhe No. 1 sighed and recounted the entire story from beginning to end.
"If his son was also there, it's quite normal. No wonder I never saw Bai Yue and his son at Yulong Pass, and Long Xingyu would occasionally leave Yulong Pass. So, they just moved to a different place."
Saint Moon nodded, not finding anything strange about this.
After all, Bai Yue hadn't even truly entered the cultivation path yet, and was only a second-rank priest. A priest of that level would face considerable danger in a place like Yulong Pass, so moving to a safer location was quite normal.
Similarly, he didn't care about Cai'er's identity being exposed to Long Xingyu.
He knew Long Xingyu's character and that he wouldn't speak carelessly.
Their two families were old friends, and Saint Moon was also acquainted with Long Tianyin, having watched Long Xingyu grow up since childhood, so he had great trust in his character.
However, the next moment, he looked at the hesitant Xia Zhe No. 1 in front of him with some confusion, and asked, "But, No. 1, you've been like this since just now."
"You've been somewhat constrained and hesitant. What else happened? Tell me everything."
As it concerned Cai'er, Saint Moon needed to know everything.
"Long Xingyu's gaze towards Cai'er was very strange." Xia Zhe No. 1 sighed; he originally didn't want to say anything, but since Saint Moon asked.
He might as well be honest.
"Strange, how strange?"
"Did he want to abduct Cai'er directly and use her to threaten the Assassin Temple? That's impossible, isn't it?"
Saint Moon was somewhat confused.
Given Long Xingyu's character, there weren't many things he would do in such a situation.
So Saint Moon was puzzled as to what made Xia Zhe No. 1 so hesitant.
Hearing this, Xia Zhe No. 1 said faintly, "If I'm not mistaken, his gaze was like a father-in-law looking at his daughter-in-law..."
"Oh, looking at a daughter-in-law, that's nothing." Saint Moon nodded. At first, he thought this matter was insignificant.
But suddenly, he widened his eyes and looked at Xia Zhe No. 1.
He asked loudly, "What did you say?"
"Towards Cai'er???"
"Looking at a daughter-in-law?"
