Chapter 1733: Chapter 1715: It’s Settled
During the day, Lin Feng could lead the group of won in lively conversation and laughter, but co night, Lin Feng...
The days were like those of an Immortal, and three days passed with the won being unusually excited. In the morning, the group tidied Lin Feng up nicely, then prepared the proposal gifts and placed them into the Space Ring for Lin Feng to take with him to propose to the Xia Family.
The ancestral land of the Xia Family.
Although the Xia Family had already rged into the Holy Wind Sect, as a trusted mber, Lin Feng still preserved the Xia Family’s original ancestral land. Those involved in battles or with special roles had entered the Holy Wind Sect, but the people remaining in the ancestral land were still mostly servants and the old, the young, and the won.
When Lin Feng appeared here, Xia Yuntian had been waiting outside the door of the Xia Family for quite so ti already. This surprised Lin Feng, as he didn’t expect Xia Yuntian to be present here. He had previously communicated with Xia Lalan, who simply told him to co and propose to the Xia Family. As for anything else, she hadn’t ntioned, and it was only upon seeing Xia Yuntian here that Lin Feng partly understood.
"Sect Master, Lanlan has already spoken to
about it, please co in quickly, the Elder has been waiting inside for a long ti." Upon seeing Lin Feng appear, Xia Yuntian imdiately led him into the Xia Family.
Lin Feng didn’t stand on ceremony, allowing Xia Yuntian to lead the way straight into the Xia Family’s ancestral hall. As soon as the two entered, they saw many elders sitting inside the hall, with Xia Yan at the forefront.
Seeing this situation made Lin Feng even more confused. He ca here today to propose, so why were there so many people present? He wondered what exactly was going on, and then asked, "What is this?"
"Sect Master, weren’t you here to propose to Lanlan?" Xia Yan stood up at this mont, puzzled by what Lin Feng ant, wondering if Lin Feng was not here to propose but to handle other matters?
"I am here to propose, but could soone tell
which of you is Lanlan’s grandfather?" Lin Feng was bewildered at this mont. He ca to propose, and so many ca to join in, but he didn’t know who Xia Lalan’s grandfather was.
He had asked Xia Lalan about her background before. Xia Lalan had told him so parts, ntioning that her parents had passed away due to an accident long ago, and she had grown up with her grandfather. However, she never disclosed who her grandfather was to Lin Feng, so it was natural for him to be confused at this mont.
"That would be !" Xia Yan said with a smile at this mont, his eyes revealing a trace of amusent as he looked at Lin Feng.
"It’s you? Then why didn’t Lanlan ntion it to ?" Lin Feng was even more puzzled at this point. During the ti Xia Lalan had spent with him, she never ntioned Xia Yan, and even upon eting Xia Yan, she hadn’t been close to him. Now Xia Yan suddenly claims this, how could he easily believe it?
Xia Yuntian stepped forward at this ti, smiling and explaining to Lin Feng, "Sect Master, the Elder is indeed Lanlan’s grandfather. Lanlan’s father was the Elder’s seventh son, and he passed away many years ago. When Lanlan was young, her talent was extraordinary, deeply loved by the Elder. However, when Lanlan had her incident, the Elder tried his best to help her, but nothing worked, causing Lanlan much suffering. From then on, Lanlan didn’t acknowledge the Elder anymore. As for what happened later, you are already aware..."
"Regarding those sitting here, they are Xia Family elders and the Elder’s sons, also Lanlan’s uncles. Hearing of your proposal today, they also returned to join the celebration. Lanlan’s marriage is a significant affair, one that the Xia Family pays special attention to."
Regarding this matter, not many from the Xia Family understood, but having once been the Family Head, he knew many of the secrets within. Thus, he stepped forward to explain on behalf of the Elder, clarifying that Xia Yan was indeed Xia Lalan’s grandfather, which was undeniable. After explaining these matters, Xia Yuntian also introduced the identities of those seated, letting Lin Feng grasp how much the Xia Family valued Xia Lalan’s wedding.
After listening to Xia Yuntian’s explanation, Lin Feng finally understood what was going on. He shook his head with a bitter smile, realizing it wasn’t a big deal. Xia Lalan hadn’t ntioned it to him, leading to today’s misunderstanding. After today, he planned to talk things over with Xia Lalan.
"Grandfather and uncles, I am here to propose marriage, hoping for your approval for Xia Lalan to marry . Although I have many won, my love for Lanlan is sincere, and I promise to be faithful to her. I hope you will grant your blessing. These are the proposal gifts; I hope you will accept them with a smile."
Faced with the gathered mbers around him, Lin Feng bowed respectfully. Despite being the Sect Master of the Holy Wind Sect, since he ca here to propose, he must follow Xia Lalan’s address towards the elders, demonstrating basic courtesy with sincerity. Although expecting their approval, courtesy had to be maintained. After speaking, the Space Ring flashed, and the proposal gifts were traditionally laid out across the floor.
"Good, good, good!" Xia Yan said the word ’good’ three tis, his smile growing brighter as he harriedly replied, "Old man agrees to your marriage with Lanlan. For Lanlan to find such a person like the Sect Master is a blessing for her and for the Xia Family. How could I let such a favorable union pass
by? I’m far too joyful to ever think of objection!"
After finishing, Xia Yan walked briskly to assist Lin Feng, tears of happiness even staining his cheeks. This day had been awaited for too long; since Lin Feng first appeared in the Xia Family, he hoped for this to happen. With Lin Feng’s increasingly remarkable actions, this desire intensified over ti, believing that aside from Lin Feng, no one else deserved his granddaughter.
"It is an honor for
and for the Xia Family for the Sect Master to beco our son-in-law!"
"The Xia Family and the Sect Master shall hold friendship forever!"
"It is Lanlan’s good fortune to marry the Sect Master!"
...
The other people present also stood up and spoke with smiles on their faces at this ti. They genuinely considered Xia Lanlan’s future. Given Xia Lanlan’s extraordinary talent, there’s truly no one else in the world besides Lin Feng who is worthy of her. Although Lin Feng has many won, and Xia Lanlan wouldn’t be the main wife after marriage, that hardly matters. None of them around had only one wife, after all. To them, this was not an issue at all.
"Since we are family now, I won’t be formal with everyone. Grandfather, when do you plan for Lanlan and
to get married?" Lin Feng was very pleased to see everything going smoothly. Since the other party had agreed, it was ti to discuss the wedding. Once the wedding matters were settled, he would go into retreat.
"As for the wedding, I’ve already checked the dates. Six days from now is an excellent day. Sect Master, what do you think?" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s question about the wedding, Xia Yan was even more delighted and quickly shared his plan. He didn’t want to drag this matter out for too long, so he decided to go ahead and have the wedding while there’s an auspicious date available, sparing him any worries.
"Alright, let’s set it that way." Lin Feng, hearing Xia Yan’s words, thought for a mont and agreed. He had no objections to this tifra, and six days was more than enough for preparations.
"Sect Master, may I take care of this wedding celebration?" Xia Yuntian interjected at this mont. A wedding for Lin Feng was no ordinary affair. He intended to organize the celebration to be lively and bring excitent to the entire Sect.
"Alright, you handle it." Lin Feng looked at Xia Yuntian and nodded. Weddings were inherently troubleso, and he wasn’t very familiar with the wedding customs of the Xia family. It made sense to have Xia Yuntian manage it, trusting that he would do a good job.
"Sect Master, is there anything we should do?"
"Yes, give us sothing to do too, please!"
"As uncles and elders, we can’t just do nothing, right?"
...
The others in the room all chid in at this ti. They were truly happy about Lanlan’s wedding and wanted to do sothing to express their joy.
"I don’t know much about these things, so just listen to Elder Yuntian when the ti cos." Lin Feng casually replied upon hearing their offers to help. He had no experience in such matters, so it was best to leave everything to Xia Yuntian. He had no ti to micromanage these tasks.
After saying this, Lin Feng glanced at Xia Yan and gave him a look before leaving. Xia Yan understood Lin Feng’s signal, and with the others still discussing, he too left the room and used his Divine Sense to follow Lin Feng as they departed from the ancestral land of the Xia Family.
The two stood on a mountain peak, looking at the vast sea of clouds below.
"Sect Master, what is it you need from ?" Xia Yan looked at Lin Feng beside him with great curiosity and asked. They were just discussing the wedding, so why did Lin Feng suddenly call him out?
"In a few days, I need to enter a retreat. This ti I can’t say when I will co out. I am planning sothing major. Unless sothing extrely urgent happens, I will entrust the Sect’s affairs to you." Lin Feng spoke calmly. This upcoming retreat ca without a ti limit, and unless sothing unexpected occurred, he might be in seclusion for a long ti. Therefore, he needed to arrange external matters in advance.
"Sect Master, can you tell
why the retreat will be so long? What if the people in the Sect feel uneasy due to your long absence?" Xia Yan listened to Lin Feng’s serious words and realized the situation might be more complicated than he initially thought, so he pondered and inquired further.
"To be honest, I’ve already cultivated a second Primordial Spirit, and successfully restructured my physical body. I plan to find an opportunity to send this Doppelganger into the Immortal Realm to gather information there, so I generally cannot move in this realm. Moreover, I also need to enhance my strength, which requires ti to consolidate. By improving my power, the future battles between Immortals and mortals will also have a greater chance of victory."
"If during my retreat the situation you ntioned actually occurs, do not hesitate to act. Directly activate the Enforcent Hall. If that’s not enough, imdiately employ the Inner Pavilion of the Elders Pavilion for executions. If it’s the mbers of the Inner Pavilion themselves causing trouble, and if you can’t handle it, notify
imdiately, and I’ll settle it. In short, no one is allowed to disrupt our current montum of developnt."
Lin Feng did not conceal these matters from Xia Yan, soone he considered a trustworthy confidant. By explaining these issues, Xia Yan could make preparations in advance and prevent chaos when the ti ca. As for the potential disturbances Xia Yan ntioned, they were not truly problematic: laying down the law should be enough, and in cases when actions were beyond them, Lin Feng was confident he could step in when necessary.
