418: The more I look at it, the more satisfied I am.

Snowflakes rustled down, growing heavier and covering the sky and earth, gradually blanketing the ground in a layer of silver.

The sky also grew increasingly dark.

Wu Ning held a paper umbrella, and the two walked quietly down the street, their shadows stretched long by the streetlights.

"We're here."

Wu Ning saw Luo Wuyou to the entrance of the Lo Clan and softly said, "It's getting late today. You should go back."

A hint of reluctance flashed in Luo Wuyou's eyes. Time passed so quickly. She suddenly turned and hugged Wu Ning's waist, gently resting her forehead against his chest.

"Thank you, Uncle. I was very, very happy today."

"Hehe…"

With that, she immediately let go and, with a joyful laugh, ran into the Lo Clan's main gate.

The guards at the entrance stared with astonished eyes.

Wu Ning held the paper umbrella, gazed for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, his figure instantly vanishing.

Just as he left, Luo Wuyou's figure reappeared inside the main gate, looking up at where he had disappeared.

That year, Luo Wuyou was sixteen years old.

The young girl was innocent.

...

The years passed peacefully.

Day after day, year after year.

Luo Wuyou gradually grew up, becoming even more beautiful and captivating, with a peerless charm. Coupled with her successful Cultivation, her temperament was transcendent like a Fairy, and she soon gained the title of Wu You Fairy.

Born into an extraordinary family and deeply loved by her parents and relatives, she was like a cheerful little sprite every day. Wherever she went, there was laughter and joy, seemingly without any worries, just like her name: Wu You.

Several years later, because she frequently went to the manor to find Wu Ning, the Luo Clan couple eventually noticed something unusual.

She vaguely answered their inquiries several times.

One time, while Luo Wuyou was out, they quietly followed her, intending to find out the truth.

They arrived at the manor where Wu Ning resided.

"Huh, when did a manor appear here?"

Luo Chenzhou said in surprise.

He carefully examined it, finding the manor quite extraordinary. He was about to fly into the manor when Xie Yanqing pulled him back.

"Wait a moment. If our daughter sees us entering now, wouldn't that make things difficult for her?"

Xie Yanqing said softly.

Luo Chenzhou frowned and nodded, "Then let's wait a bit longer."

It would indeed be somewhat awkward if their daughter knew they had secretly followed her.

"But are you sure nothing will happen?" Luo Chenzhou still asked with some unease.

Xie Yanqing glanced at him, knowing full well what he was worried about. "Don't worry, I've checked everything, and nothing has happened."

"Don't you know your daughter? If something were truly wrong, she wouldn't be able to hide it."

"It's good that nothing happened…"

Luo Chenzhou felt a slight sigh of relief and continued to look at the manor, waiting quietly.

They waited for most of the day.

As the sun set, Luo Wuyou emerged from the manor, humming a cheerful tune, seeming to be in a very good mood.

Luo Chenzhou carefully observed her, and seeing her safe and sound, the large stone that had been hanging in his heart finally dropped completely.

"You two have been watching for so long; please come inside for a chat."

Suddenly, a clear voice entered their ears.

The two felt the scene before their eyes blur, and the next second, they instantly appeared in a Fairy-like garden.

Both were greatly startled. Before they could even observe their surroundings, they immediately felt an extremely rich Immortal Qi enveloping them.

This Immortal Qi was incredibly dense; even the place where the Immortal Veins converged in their Lo Clan was far inferior.

"Your Excellencies, may I ask why you have come here?"

Wu Ning asked, though he already knew.

The Luo Clan couple immediately fixed their gaze on him. Seeing that the master of this place was such a radiant, handsome, and extraordinary Young Master, a hint of surprise involuntarily appeared in their eyes.

At the same time, they secretly thought, 'As expected.'

"And you are?"

"My surname is Wu. Please be seated, Your Excellencies."

Wu Ning poured each of them a cup of Immortal Tea and gestured to the stone stools opposite him.

Luo Chenzhou and Xie Yanqing exchanged glances and sat down as instructed.

Luo Chenzhou was about to speak when he suddenly glimpsed the Little Black Dragon lying on the ground beside them, and his pupils sharply contracted.

The Little Black Dragon had just had a Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor not long ago and had been let out by Wu Ning to get some air. Although it had shrunk its size to less than a zhang long, the faint trace of Immortal Emperor might and True Dragon Qi it subtly emitted made Luo Chenzhou's scalp tingle.

He had never felt such terrifying aura before.

Even their strongest Old Ancestor was like an ant compared to it.

He quickly moved his gaze away, then glimpsed the Immortal Plants and Immortal Flowers planted in the garden beside him, and his eyes contracted again.

The Qi and Dao rhythm emitted by those Immortal Plants were definitely comparable to top-grade Immortal Plants, and the Qi and Dao rhythm of those Immortal Flowers were even stronger, definitely existing beyond top-grade Immortal Plants!

He was incredibly shocked. Who exactly was this person? Could he have fallen into some illusion?

When did such a terrifying existence appear on Tianyang Ancient Star?

Xie Yanqing, however, did not pay attention to anything else; she kept her focus on Wu Ning.

She looked at him curiously, secretly nodding in her heart, becoming more and more satisfied the more she looked.

Such an elegant and extraordinary Immortal Young Master, truly rare in the world, whose every gesture revealed a noble and transcendent aura, clearly from an extraordinary background.

"We are Wu You's parents. We learned that she made a friend, so we decided to pay a visit."

Xie Yanqing said with a smile.

"So it's Auntie." Wu Ning smiled slightly and said smoothly, "It is my fault as a Junior; I should have been the one to visit you two…"

He cupped his hands slightly, his attitude very humble.

Xie Yanqing became increasingly satisfied in her heart and continued to converse with Wu Ning. The two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

It was their first meeting, so they didn't delve too deeply into conversation.

The topic was mostly about Luo Wuyou.

Xie Yanqing recounted stories from her childhood, and Wu Ning naturally praised her without reservation.

His praise made Xie Yanqing beam with joy.

For a mother who dotes on her daughter, praising her daughter is far more effective than praising her directly.

About half an hour later.

"It's getting late; we should head back." Xie Yanqing stood up to bid farewell, not forgetting to remind him, "Little Wu, you must come to our Luo Clan as a guest another day. Auntie welcomes you anytime."

"Certainly."

Wu Ning smiled and nodded, seeing them out of the manor.

On their way back to the Lo Clan.

Xie Yanqing couldn't help but glare at Luo Chenzhou, "What was wrong with you today? You became mute as soon as we went in. Aren't you usually quite talkative?"

"You sat there without saying a word. What would Young Master Wu think? He might think you're dissatisfied with him!"

"..."

Luo Chenzhou was speechless. At first, he was stunned and couldn't speak, but later, he simply couldn't get a word in.

"Nothing is set in stone yet, and your loyalty has already shifted!"

He couldn't help but mutter softly.

What he saw and heard today was truly beyond his expectations. Wu Ning was unfathomable, completely inscrutable, and he had a terrifying Black Dragon by his side, with top-grade Immortal Plants everywhere. His background was definitely frighteningly powerful.

He, for one, was not optimistic at all.

Although his own daughter was not bad, the difference in family background was too great, making it difficult for there to be a good outcome…
