82: Farewell to the Lu family and meet my beloved wife again

With her explanation, Mei Fu finally understood the reason.

It turned out her daughter had been framed in the League and almost defiled by a beast!

Fortunately, Lin Yuan saved her, allowing her to narrowly escape.

“Thank you, Young Master, for saving her! Thank you, Young Master, for saving her! It’s a blessing you were by Chan’er’s side, otherwise, I would be weeping every day!”

Mei Fu shed tears of gratitude, bowing and repeatedly expressing her thanks.

“Madam, you’re being too polite. Since Chan’er and I are teammates, it was only natural for me to help.”

“For you, it was a convenience, but for Chan’er, it changed her life.”

She choked up, then turned to her daughter, scolding angrily, “You’re such a worry! How could you fall for such an obvious trap? Have you forgotten everything your father and I taught you?”

“Alright, Mother, isn’t Chan’er fine? You don’t need to be so agitated.”

“You barely escaped with your life; how can I not be agitated?”

She gently glared at her daughter, then her gaze fell on the young man, a look of satisfaction appearing on her face: “Young Master, from now on, I entrust my precious daughter to you. She might have a bit of a temper, but her heart isn’t bad. I hope you can be more tolerant and not get angry with her.”

After seeing the combat strength he displayed, she had no objections whatsoever and wished Lin Yuan would marry her daughter quickly.

Lu Yichan immediately became unhappy: “Mother, what are you saying? I’m very well-behaved, alright? Where do I have a temper?”

Lin Yuan chuckled: “Alright, Madam Lu, I will take good care of Chan’er and won’t argue with her.”

“Oh, Young Master, don’t listen to my mother; she’s just talking nonsense!”

“You girl, don’t talk back to me. When you have a husband in the future, you must serve him well and not be as cold as you used to be, understand?”

“Understood, Mother. I’m only cold to other men. Towards Young Master, I’m definitely warm and affectionate~”

“What nonsense are you talking…”

The mother and daughter suddenly started bickering, making Lin Yuan’s mouth twitch. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

“Young Master, you don’t need to mind them. Please follow me first.”

Lu Ke led the young man aside and whispered, “Are you leaving soon?”

“Yes, does the Family Head have anything else to say?”

“There’s nothing else, but we’ve received such a great favor from you. We must repay it, mustn’t we?”

Lu Ke said, pulling out a jade plaque from his hand, and continued, “This is a Merit Plate, used to carry merit. Inside are a thousand merit points I obtained when I was a Disciple in the Sect. I’ll give them all to you.”

He knew that someone with such a background as the other party would certainly not lack Spirit Stones, and the Lu Family’s Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills would likely not impress him. So, he decided to use this item to repay the favor.

Lin Yuan immediately became interested: “Oh? What is this merit? How do I obtain and use it?”

“Merit is a contribution value granted by the Sect. You can obtain corresponding merit points by completing commissions issued in the Merit Hall. To use them, you can directly go to the Merit Hall Elder, and they will help you exchange for items.”

“What good things can be exchanged?”

“Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, Medicinal Pills, Talismans, and so on. Almost anything you can think of can be exchanged in the hall.”

“Then, these one thousand merit points must be quite valuable, right?”

“The value is hard to say. Once Young Master enters the inner Sect, you will know exactly how much these one thousand points are worth.”

“Alright, then I won’t be polite.”

Lin Yuan directly took the jade plaque, not thinking much about it.

In his opinion, his help to the Lu Family was just a small effort, and he didn’t expect much in return. As long as Lu Ke’s intention was there, the value of the gift wasn’t important.

Next, Lu Yichan chatted with her parents for a long time before reluctantly leaving with Lin Yuan.

…

Half an hour later.

Outside Luoxiao City.

The man and woman landed hand in hand and walked towards the city gate.

“Young Master, you said I have two sisters in this city?”

“Yes, when you meet them, don’t look down on them.”

“Don’t worry, Young Master. Since Chan’er has already promised you, she will definitely get along well with her sisters.”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but anticipate: what kind of talent did those two women possess? How beautiful were they? Why did they receive the Young Master’s favor?

On the other side.

In the Deng Residence.

“Junior Sister Ling’er, when do you think Young Master will return?”

Deng Fuxi paced back and forth in the courtyard, her eyes filled with longing.

Ye Ling’er chuckled: “Brother Lin Yuan has only been gone for a few days, and Elder Sister Deng already misses him so much?”

Deng Fuxi sighed softly: “My husband and I just got married and hadn’t spent many days together before he left in a hurry. How can I not miss him?”

“Alas, I miss Brother too, but the Hundred-City League definitely won’t end that quickly. We don’t need to rush. I’m sure he’ll come back to us as soon as he gets a ranking.”

“Mm, perhaps he’s already on his way. I wonder what place he got in this League?”

“With Brother’s excellence, he’ll definitely get first place!”

“Ling’er is so confident in him?”

“Hehe, after all, I’m Brother’s woman, so of course I have to have confidence in him.”

“That’s right, then let’s cheer for our husband in our hearts.”

As they spoke, a voice from outside the residence called out: “Ling’er, Xi’er, I’m back.”

Hearing this, their expressions changed, and they turned to look at the main gate, a familiar figure appearing in their sight.

“Brother!”

“Husband!”

The man they had been longing for finally returned. The two women excitedly rushed forward, like tired birds returning to their nest, throwing themselves into his embrace.

“I’m here. How have you two been these past few days? Did you encounter any danger?”

Raising his hands to embrace the two women’s slender waists, Lin Yuan asked softly.

“No! We’re both safe, but Brother left so suddenly, Ling’er couldn’t help but miss you.”

“Yes, Xi’er also missed Husband so much, she couldn’t stop thinking about you day and night.”

The two soft and beautiful maidens pressed tightly against the man, urgently expressing their longing.

Lin Yuan could see that they both had obvious dark circles under their eyes, clearly because they hadn’t slept well due to missing him so much.

“I’m sorry, I left too hastily and didn’t consider your feelings.”

Holding the two women tightly with both hands, Lin Yuan said with deep guilt.

“Brother, you’re too polite! To say such things to us, do you think we’re the kind of women who don’t know what’s important?”

“Husband, you don’t have to be like this. You participated in the League to become stronger, so Xi’er certainly won’t blame you.”

Ye Ling’er and Deng Fuxi spoke softly, and Lin Yuan couldn’t help but smile: “Good, I’m also very comforted that you two are so sensible. If I have time in the future, I’ll make time to spend more time with you.”

At this point, he suddenly thought of his Master’s Wife and Junior Sister. They must also be missing him greatly, just like these two women.

Alas, it seems that after I finish things here, I must return to the Sect as soon as possible and not let Master’s Wife and the others wait too long.
