646: Yu Guili's good idea
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Big Brother, this won't do! If we don't go to marry Ning Xinyou, the Ning Family will lose Face. They won't let it go easily, and by then, our reputation in the Immortal Realm will be ruined, and surely no forces will follow us!"
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Yu Guili paced back and forth in the room, his brows tightly furrowed.
Then, his gaze, sharp as a torch, fixed on Lin Feng, as if he had found a glimmer of hope in the darkness:
"I've got it! I've got it!"
"Got what?"
"Why don't you marry Xinyou in my place!" Yu Guili said.
His tone made it sound as if it were a brilliant idea, as if he had already seen all problems resolved.
Lin Feng, upon hearing this, was instantly struck as if by lightning. He subconsciously took a step back, looking at Yu Guili with a Face full of disbelief:
"Big Brother, you... what are you saying? Are you testing me? My loyalty to you is witnessed by heaven and earth! And what kind of force is the Ning Family? Once discovered, although we won't die, in the eyes of the high-level forces in the Immortal Realm, we will be..."
The more Lin Feng spoke, the more agitated he became, his voice even trembling slightly.
Yu Guili, however, seemed not to hear Lin Feng's words. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Lin Feng's shoulders with both hands, and shook him vigorously, as if to transmit his brilliant idea to him:
"Lin Feng, calm down! This is just a temporary measure. I still trust your character and your Sister-in-Law Ning's. As long as you help me this once, you will certainly not lack benefits. In the future, under my command, you will surely rise to prominence."
Yu Guili said, his gaze fixed on Lin Feng with fervent anticipation.
Lin Feng's body trembled even more violently. He forcefully broke free from Yu Guili's hands and shook his head repeatedly: "Big Brother, I really can't do it! You know, the affection between my aunt and me is as strong as gold, but her Family is also pressuring her to marry now, hoping that someone from a powerful force can marry her soon and form an alliance with their Family."
"If I go to marry Sister-in-Law Ning in your place now, how can I explain it to my aunt? It wasn't easy for me to come under your command, Big Brother, precisely to be able to be with her...! I really don't want to ruin everything because of this."
As Lin Feng spoke, Long Qingwan's gentle Face appeared in his mind, making his resolve not to marry even stronger.
Yu Guili's expression instantly darkened upon hearing this. His brows furrowed into a ' river' character, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes:
"Why are you so timid? You can't even handle such a small matter. It's just a marriage, not asking you to go to your death."
His voice carried clear dissatisfaction, evidently disappointed by Lin Feng's refusal.
"Do you think that now that you are under the Immortal Venerable's command, you can marry Dragon Girl? You need to recognize your status; you are her...!"
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground with a "thud": "Big Brother, I, Lin Feng, have always been loyal to you. But this time, it really exceeds my tolerance. I cannot let my aunt be heartbroken. Big Brother, please think of another way."
The study fell into a deathly silence. Yu Guili's Face was ashen, his hands clasped behind his back, pacing back and forth in place. There was anger in his heart, yet he was helpless.
But just then, there was a sudden, urgent knock on the door.
Yu Guili and Lin Feng exchanged glances, a hint of vigilance flashing in their eyes.
"Who is it?" Yu Guili asked loudly.
"Hey, hey, hey, Big Brother, it's me, Chen Xuan."
Yu Guili and Lin Feng both showed surprised expressions upon hearing this.
They hadn't expected Chen Xuan to be able to return alive from Purple Spirit Goddess's side.
"What's he doing here?" Lin Feng asked in a low voice.
"I don't know either. Let him in first."
Lin Feng stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.
Chen Xuan walked in with a slight smile, his gaze sweeping around the room before finally landing on Yu Guili.
"Big Brother! I missed you guys so much!"
Yu Guili's Face remained grim. He snorted coldly, not responding to Chen Xuan's enthusiastic greeting.
Lin Feng stood to the side, arms crossed, his eyes full of vigilance, coldly watching Chen Xuan.
But Chen Xuan seemed oblivious to their coldness. He lowered his head slightly, a hint of guilt appearing on his Face:
"Big Brother, Brother Lin, I came here specifically to apologize to you. Back in the ruins, I was too arrogant and reckless in my actions, not considering the overall situation, which led everyone into such danger. I know I was wrong."
Chen Xuan's words were sincere, his tone filled with genuine "regret."
Yu Guili raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, seemingly not expecting Chen Xuan to admit his mistake so frankly.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Hmph, what's the use of saying all this now? You acted alone back then. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been chased so miserably by Purple Spirit Goddess."
Although his words still carried reproach, his tone was no longer as harsh as before.
Lin Feng frowned slightly, his guard relaxing a little, but he still said with some suspicion:
"Chen Xuan, are you serious? You caused us so much trouble. Can a few words of apology just wipe the slate clean?"
Chen Xuan nodded heavily, his expression solemn, and said: "Brother Lin, I swear to heaven, every word comes from my heart. After experiencing so many things, I have grown a lot and understood the importance of teamwork, and I have also learned to respect others' opinions. I came back this time to make up for my past mistakes and hope to fight alongside Big Brother and Brother Lin again."
Yu Guili pondered for a long time, then looked at Chen Xuan: "Chen Xuan, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is very important, and I need to think carefully. Moreover, you're just talking; there's no sincerity at all!"
Chen Xuan understood instantly upon hearing this.
So this guy wanted the Mystic Jade Tower he had obtained.
"Then what sincerity does Big Brother want?"
"A willing person doesn't need to be taught!"
Chen Xuan: "..."
Although this is a saying from XXN and can often be used as a joke, coming from Yu Guili, it was indeed disgusting.
If it weren't for "saving" the plot, he would have already made his move.
"You still don't understand? What Law did you obtain in the Tower that day? That was achieved through our joint efforts. You should at least show some... right?" Lin Feng reminded him appropriately.
"Oh ~ so that's what it is!"
"Nothing." Chen Xuan shrugged his shoulders like a small bear.
"What do you mean?"
"Big Brother, Brother Lin, I'm really not deliberately hiding anything. To be honest, after coming out of the ruins, Purple Spirit Goddess was pressing me every step of the way. She coveted the treasures I obtained in the ruins. After a struggle, I was no match for her.
She not only snatched all the Law power I had obtained but also thoroughly plundered some of my original precious Magic Treasures!
It could really be said that 'not even my underwear was left.' I have nothing on me now except these clothes."
Chen Xuan said, exaggeratingly shaking his clothes.
