Lin Xiao was thrilled. Where could one find such a gentle, considerate elder sister, so very understanding of a man's needs, and who also didn't require him to take responsibility?
Another round of silence ensued.
As the candlelight in the room gradually dimmed, the atmosphere also became somewhat delicate.
"In an hour, dawn will break," Su Mei suddenly said with a sigh.
"Yes," Lin Xiao nodded.
"If we were to start over, would you still feel that I coerced you?" Su Mei asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No, I... I'm willing!" Lin Xiao blurted out, casting aside his reservations.
The next moment, within the canopied bed, shadows intertwined.
I'm sorry, Wanning, but this is the last time! they both thought simultaneously.
When Lin Xiao walked out of the main hall on Phoenix Caw Peak, the sky was on the brink of dawn.
As agreed, all the guests from the Righteous Path forces in the Eastern Region of the Cultivation World were to arrive and be settled within the sect today.
His wedding ceremony with Junior Sister Yurong tonight was to follow Qinglan Sect tradition and be held in front of Sanqing Hall on Dragon Head Peak.
As the bride, Yurong was not supposed to be seen for now.
Lin Xiao had initially planned to use the remaining time to visit Youwei and Yingying, but he found the two girls weren't in their rooms!
Left with no other choice, he had to change his path and head to Fairy Cliff to see his Master.
It was somewhat shameful. Even though he was going to marry Yurong, he felt no regret or reluctance in his heart regarding his Master. In fact, ever since falling for Wanning in the Secret Realm, he had begun to conceive a plan in his mind to create a big, happy, loving family! After receiving Martial Uncle Su's support today, his determination grew even stronger! After dealing with those villains from the Sky Yin Blood Demon, he would take steps to bring all the women he loved into his... no, to give them all proper standing!
"Well... I can't possibly be the only man in the world to have feelings for multiple women, right? Yes, so I, Lin Xiao, am definitely not scum! I just want to be responsible for every woman I love! This makes me a paragon of male virtue!"
Thinking this, Lin Xiao felt even more confident. The gloom on his face was swept away, and his whole being radiated self-assurance!
Lost in his thoughts, he, now in the Nascent Soul Realm, seemed to arrive at the entrance of Fairy Cliff as if in a dream!
As soon as he landed, a middle-aged woman with graying temples welcomed him, "Chief Lin!"
"Greetings, Steward Feixue." Lin Xiao bowed to the Chief Steward who had watched him grow up, then asked, "Is... my Master in the Blessed Abode?"
"Yes, the Chairman is in the Blessed Abode, but..." Updates are released by novel(ꜰ)ire.net
"The Chairman seemed to know you would come. She specifically told me to wait for you here and tell you that you don't need to see her for now. She said she's afraid she might lose control of her emotions," Steward Feixue said.
Oh, Master, Master, you're still struggling with yourself, aren't you? Where is the spirit of Fairy Hongling, who defeated all the prodigies of the Eastern Region and awed the Cultivation World?
Lin Xiao shook his head.
"Moreover, the Chairman also said..." Steward Feixue began, then hesitated, seeming unable to speak.
"What else did my Master say?" Lin Xiao quickly asked.
"The Chairman also said that in a few hours, when your wedding with Yurong begins, you will naturally see her... at her most beautiful! This will also fulfill her dream! And... she will also give you a unique wedding gift!"
Steward Feixue said this with her head lowered, appearing somewhat reserved.
"Ah, she truly is thoughtful," Lin Xiao replied with a wry smile, yet his eyes revealed infinite sadness.
Having been her companion for over a decade, he naturally knew that this beautiful woman, who had raised him and to whom he owed a debt of nurturing, was likely heartbroken at this moment.
Seeing Lin Xiao's expression, Steward Feixue's heart was thrown into turmoil.
Heavens, my guess was indeed correct! The Chairman, so wise and formidable, could actually be... towards the disciple she personally raised... She's dressed even more beautifully than the bride today, and she mentioned giving Chief Lin a grand gift. Could it be that she plans to...
Thinking this, her heart grew uneasy, yet it was also tinged with a trace of excitement, eager to witness the outcome of tonight's grand drama!
