647: Lin Feng's assist
He was truly out of his underpants.
Yu Guili and Lin Feng exchanged glances, their eyes filled with suspicion.
“Chen Xuan, what you’re saying is quite new. There are so many Law Legacies in the relic site. Why would the Purple Spirit Goddess specifically target you and rob you clean? I think you don’t want to hand over the Law power and are deliberately making up such an absurd reason to fool us.”
“Exactly, Chen Xuan, your reason is too far-fetched. Although the Purple Spirit Goddess is powerful, she wouldn’t relentlessly pursue a small Immortal and rob him completely. If you’re truly sincere about apologizing, stop playing these little tricks and hand over the Law power straightforwardly.”
“Big Brother, Brother Lin, every word I said is true. The Purple Spirit Goddess, for some unknown reason, was determined to obtain the Law power in the relic, and I happened to get a part of it. She naturally wouldn’t let me go.
In front of her immense power, I was powerless to resist and could only let her rob me. If I speak half a lie, may Heaven strike me down!”
‘Strike me then. Anyway, the Heavenly Dao doesn’t like me. It hasn’t bothered me once during my Breakthroughs these days, so it will definitely cause trouble when I Breakthrough to Immortal King.’
Yu Guili and Lin Feng listened to Chen Xuan’s words, and their suspicion in their hearts lessened slightly.
“So, according to you, even if what you said is true, you’re empty-handed now, so why are you coming back to us? We don’t need a useless burden.”
Chen Xuan straightened his back, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes:
“Big Brother, although I’ve lost everything now, I have a heart loyal to you! Other than that, from now on, whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it!” Chen Xuan said, his gaze fixed on Yu Guili and Lin Feng.
“Hmph, you say it nicely, but who knows what you’ll do when it’s truly your turn!” Lin Feng said disdainfully.
“Enough!” Yu Guili interrupted Lin Feng.
“How we should deal with the Ning wedding, that is the most pressing issue right now.”
Chen Xuan was slightly startled and asked doubtfully, “The Ning wedding? What’s going on?”
Yu Guili sighed and explained the whole story to Chen Xuan in detail.
After listening, Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes: “Big Brother, Brother Lin, I have an idea, I don’t know if I should say it.”
“There’s no ‘should’ or ‘shouldn’t,’ hurry up and say it!”
“This is simple, as long as I persuade (sleep with) Sister-in-Law Xia, wouldn’t that be fine!”
Yu Guili and Lin Feng instantly widened their eyes, staring at Chen Xuan with piercing gazes, their expressions instantly shifting from confusion to shock, then turning into deep doubt.
“Chen Xuan, what do you mean by that? Are you perhaps making fun of me? How could Chu Wei be someone you can easily persuade?”
“Exactly, Chen Xuan, you’re too presumptuous! Sister-in-Law Xia and Big Brother’s love is as strong as gold. Do you think she’ll agree with just a few words? What are your true intentions? Could it be that you want to take this opportunity to get close to Sister-in-Law Xia and harbor ill intentions?”
“Big Brother, Brother Lin, you’ve misunderstood me! I absolutely have no improper thoughts.
I mean, based on my understanding of women, the reason Sister-in-Law Xia opposes Big Brother marrying Ning Xinyou is simply because she cares too much about Big Brother and fears losing his love.
I can use my sincerity and wisdom to have a heart-to-heart talk with Sister-in-Law Xia, explaining in simple terms that Big Brother marrying Ning Xinyou might be due to some unavoidable reasons and will not affect Big Brother’s feelings for her.
Moreover, I will assure her that after Big Brother marries, I will do my best to ‘maintain’ their relationship, so that Sister-in-Law Xia can rest assured.”
Yu Guili’s expression softened slightly after hearing Chen Xuan’s explanation.
“Chen Xuan, are you really confident you can persuade her? You know Chu Wei’s temper; once she’s decided on something, it’s hard to change easily.”
“I am willing to make a military pledge!”
Lin Feng snorted coldly from the side: “Hmph, a military pledge? Easier said than done. If you can truly persuade Sister-in-Law Xia, that would be a strange thing!”
“If because of this, Sister-in-Law Xia finds out the news in advance, then it would be...”
Listening to Lin Feng’s words, Yu Guili paced back and forth, his heart wavering.
“Big Brother, don’t worry! Give me a chance, and I definitely won’t let down your trust! I’ll go find Sister-in-Law Xia now and try to give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible.”
With that, Chen Xuan turned and was about to leave.
“Wait!” Yu Guili stopped Chen Xuan.
“This matter is inappropriate! If Chu Wei knows in advance, she definitely won’t agree. Let’s use another method!”
Chen Xuan nodded and said nothing more.
Persuading Xia Chuwei could be done anytime.
“Since this won’t work... hey!!” Lin Feng thought for a moment, and an idea suddenly came to him.
“Big Brother, I’ve thought of a brilliant plan!”
Lin Feng had a smile on his face, leaned closer to Yu Guili, and whispered:
“Big Brother, since Sister-in-Law Xia is difficult to persuade, why don’t we use your approach. Let Sister-in-Law Ning marry Chen Xuan. This way, we won’t offend the Ning, and we can avoid Sister-in-Law Xia’s wrath.
Moreover, didn’t Chen Xuan say he was loyal to Big Brother? This is a good opportunity to test him. If he can truly marry Sister-in-Law Ning and stabilize the relationship with the Ning for us, it will also prove his sincerity in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Guili’s brows instantly furrowed into a ‘ river’ shape, his eyes filled with hesitation and entanglement.
“Lin Feng, although your idea sounds somewhat reasonable, Chen Xuan... you know how erratic he usually acts. Xinyou’s status is so high. What if he accidentally causes some trouble again, wouldn’t that offend the Ning as well? Then we’d truly be in a bind.”
“Yes, yes, yes! Big Brother is right! As Big Brother’s junior, all I need to do is help you solve problems. I absolutely cannot do something like marrying a sister-in-Law!” Chen Xuan quickly refused.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't be too obvious.
As soon as Chen Xuan said this, Yu Guili and Lin Feng frowned simultaneously.
I’m already holding my nose to refuse you, and you actually dare to refuse me! How audacious!
Yu Guili thought this and gave Lin Feng a look.
“Bold Chen Xuan! You just said you were loyal to Big Brother, but now you can’t even help Big Brother solve his worries. You really are just all talk!”
“This... this is truly inappropriate! How about I still try to persuade Sister-in-Law Xia!” Chen Xuan still shook his head.
“Alright, you don’t need to go find him anymore! The matter is settled: you will take my place to marry Xinyou at the Ning! I hope you won’t disappoint me.” Yu Guili finally decided to let Chen Xuan go.
“Ah?”
