28: Chapter 28: The Proposal and the Wedding Ceremony Cause a Sensation in Jiangcheng

Although they had been mentally prepared, Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen were still stunned when Lin Yun actually said it out loud.

Shen Youqing looked at her parents nervously, her palms sweating.

Mrs. Shen spoke first: "Little Lin, we know you are a good child, and you have been very good to Youqing these days."

"But... don't you already have a wife at home?"

Lin Yun nodded: "Yes, Yingxue is my wife, and we have a very good relationship."

"She also supports me in marrying Youqing."

When Lin Yun mentioned his wife, he paused slightly, then continued: "In this world, the strong can have multiple partners; this is permitted."

"I assure you both that if Youqing marries me, I will treat her and Yingxue equally, and I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance."

Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen fell silent.

That is how the high-martial world works; powerful and wealthy men can take many wives, and women are the same, able to take many husbands.

But they did not expect such a thing to happen to their own daughter.

Their precious daughter now wants to marry a man who already has a wife?

After a moment, Mr. Shen looked at his daughter: "Youqing, what do you think yourself?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing took a deep breath, stood up, walked to her parents, and said with a voice that was soft yet exceptionally firm: "Dad, Mom, I am willing."

"Lin Yun... he is really a good person."

"Yingxue is also very good; these past few days she has taken care of me like my own younger sister."

Tears welled up in Shen Youqing's eyes: "And... I really like him."

"I know this might be a bit rushed, but please trust me, this is a decision I have made after serious consideration."

Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter, then at Lin Yun, who was waiting nervously on the side, and finally sighed, a smile appearing on her face: "Since you are willing, then Mom supports you."

Mr. Shen also nodded: "We respect your choice."

"Little Lin, Youqing will be in your hands from now on; you must treat her well."

Lin Yun felt relieved and promised solemnly: "Uncle, Auntie, rest assured, I will definitely treat Youqing well."

"Still calling us Uncle and Auntie?" Mrs. Shen laughed.

Lin Yun was stunned, then immediately realized and changed his words: "Dad, Mom."

Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen both laughed, and the atmosphere in the living room suddenly lightened.

"However," Mr. Shen said. "The proper etiquette must still be followed. The proposal and the wedding, nothing can be left out."

"That is of course." Lin Yun nodded. "I will come to formally propose tomorrow."

That night, when Lin Yun returned to Lin Family Manor, the estate was already brightly lit.

Su Yingxue was directing the maids, and seeing Lin Yun return, she immediately walked up to him: "Husband, how did it go? Did Youqing's parents agree?"

Lin Yun smiled and kissed her: "They agreed. Yingxue, thank you..."

"What are you thanking me for!" Su Yingxue said happily. "Then we must hurry and prepare! Auntie Liu, is the gift list for tomorrow's proposal ready?"

"Young Mistress, it is ready. As per your request, we have prepared double the amount of the previous betrothal gifts." Auntie Liu replied respectfully.

Su Yingxue nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Also, for the wedding preparations, time is very tight; we propose tomorrow and hold the wedding the day after tomorrow, so everyone will have to work a bit harder."

Lin Yun was a bit surprised: "Holding the wedding the day after tomorrow? Wouldn't that be too rushed?"

"Not rushed, not rushed at all, wasn't it the same when you married me?" Su Yingxue laughed. "I have already planned it all out. We propose tomorrow, set up the wedding venue that same day, and invite the guests. The day after tomorrow happens to be an auspicious day, suitable for marriage."

She held Lin Yun's hand, her eyes flashing with a cunning light: "Husband, we must let all of Jiangcheng know that the Lin family has added a new member!"

Lin Yun looked at her excited appearance, feeling deeply moved. This silly girl was truly thinking of him with all her heart.

That night, the entire Lin Family Manor was almost sleepless. The maids were busy preparing the proposal gifts, setting up the wedding venue, and sending out invitations... The entire estate was brightly lit, a scene of celebration and busyness.

The next morning, Lin Yun arrived at the Shen family home with a massive procession for the proposal. An anti-gravity vehicle led the way, followed by ten hovering trucks loaded with betrothal gifts.

The generosity of the betrothal gifts caused a sensation in the entire residential area. Three first-grade blood essence pills (worth 60 million). Ten ordinary blood-qi pills (worth 10 million). Various rare medicinal herbs, jewelry, and cash gifts... the total value exceeded 100 million!

It was much more than the betrothal gifts when he married Su Yingxue. And all of this was arranged by Su Yingxue.

Before, the Lin family had no mistress, and Lin Yun and Su Yingxue had a pre-arranged marriage, so there hadn't been this much. Now it was different; Su Yingxue was the mistress. Since her husband and sister Youqing liked each other, she naturally had to give the best.

Although Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen had been mentally prepared, they were still startled by this spectacle. Looking at the dowry they had prepared, they felt a bit sorry for their daughter. The surrounding neighbors were even more envious, sighing that the Shen family daughter had found a good home.

The proposal ceremony went very smoothly. Both parties exchanged their birth dates and set the wedding date—it would be tomorrow!

The news quickly spread throughout all of Jiangcheng. The young master of the wealthiest Lin family had just married two months ago, and now he was marrying a second one? And the target was the beautiful teacher from the Second High School, Shen Youqing? The entire upper society of Jiangcheng was in an uproar.

Invitations were sent out like snowflakes, and various factions were guessing the Lin family's intentions—could it be that the Lin family was starting to expand its influence?

Grandfather Lin Zhentian of the Lin family was too old. His son and daughter-in-law had died early. His grandson, Lin Yun, was a Martial Arts Talent waste. The only Martial Artist was an outsider. Everyone was waiting for the old man to breathe his last so they could divide up the Lin family's assets. Now, why did things feel wrong!!!

On the day of the wedding, Lin Family Manor was decorated with lanterns and festoons, full of joy. From the morning, guests arrived in an endless stream. Dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, and figures from the martial arts world of Jiangcheng... almost the entire upper society had come.

The parking lot outside the estate was filled with various luxury cars, and a dozen anti-gravity vehicles hovered in the sky; the scene was spectacular.

Lin Yun wore a bright red wedding robe, standing at the entrance to greet guests. Because it was his second marriage, he handled it very skillfully.

Su Yingxue, as the first wife, also attended in grand attire, helping to entertain the guests. Today, she wore a pale gold dress, which was solemn yet beautiful. Standing beside Lin Yun, she was poised and graceful, winning much praise.

"This young mistress of the Lin family is truly magnanimous."

"Not only does she not oppose her husband taking a second wife, but she also helps arrange the wedding; such broad-mindedness is rare."

"I heard that she and Shen Youqing have a very good relationship, like sisters."

"The young master of the Lin family is truly blessed to have married such excellent wives."

"Have you noticed? The young master of the Lin family seems to already be a Martial Artist, and his cultivation is almost at the Late Stage of the First-Stage."

"Really?"

"Yes! Not only him, but that young mistress is also a Martial Artist, and she is at the Middle Stage of the First-Stage."

"Late Stage of the First-Stage? Middle Stage of the First-Stage? Didn't you see that wrong? Isn't the young master of the Lin family... a Martial Arts Talent waste?"

"And his wife, Su Yingxue, seems to be someone who didn't even get into Martial Arts University; how is she at the Middle Stage of the First-Stage after only two months?"

"Old Wu, you are not a Martial Artist, so you cannot sense it. I have been at First-Stage Perfection for so many years; could I be wrong?"

"Hiss~" Old Wu heard this and gasped. What was going on with the Lin family? How did two more Martial Artists suddenly appear?

They could understand Su Yingxue becoming a Martial Artist. Although she didn't get into Martial Arts University, her blood-qi value was already 89 points at graduation. A person with an ordinary family background definitely wouldn't have money to buy a Medicinal Pill, so she must have achieved it through hard training. Marrying into the Lin family and eating a few Medicinal Pills would allow her to reach the Martial Artist level. That was no problem.

The problem was the young master of the Lin family—Lin Yun. He had previously coughed up so many Medicinal Pills, yet his blood-qi value couldn't even pass fifty points. This was clearly a complete lack of Martial Arts Talent. How could it be that after only two months, he not only became a Martial Artist but was also approaching the Late Stage of the First-Stage? This speed was simply...

The guests were whispering, and those who were knowledgeable had eyes full of inquiry.
