Chapter 1614: Chapter 1614

Long Fei thought Elder Wang Shun was here to express gratitude, so he instructed Liuu Ruyan to invite him to sit in the main hall.

He freshened up and was about to head over.

Lin Yingying came out and called to him, "I want to go too."

"It’s a small matter, why do you want to go?"

Long Fei raised his eyebrow at her.

Lin Yingying said, "I just heard Ruyan say that Elder Wang Shun seems to have brought along a young lady?"

Long Fei chuckled slightly, "You have a keen ear. This young lady is Elder Wang Shun’s daughter, probably brought out to gain some experience!"

Lin Yingying said, "He came yesterday too, but didn’t bring this daughter. Yet today he brought her; something must be fishy."

Long Fei sweated a little and gave her a helpless smile, "Isn’t it normal for someone to bring their daughter along? Are you suggesting he’s here to sell his daughter?"

"That might be the case."

Lin Yingying rolled her eyes at him and insisted on going together.

Early in the morning, the Little Kirin was off somewhere playing.

When Long Fei left, he specifically glanced at his room, feeling that this little creature was becoming more unruly lately.

On the island, there are too many demons with ill intentions, like Old Lvv and the Green-eyed Chantoad, who are all quite a handful.

Long Fei worried that he might be led astray by these guys and thought it would be better to establish Lin Yingying’s school early.

He took Lin Yingying to the outer hall where Elder Wang Shun, his daughter, and some fellow cultivators were inside having tea.

As soon as they entered, Elder Wang Shun stood up with his people and cheerfully called out to Long Fei, "Sect Master Long, I apologize for disturbing again!"

Long Fei cupped his hands and laughed, "No need for such formality, my friend. It is we who have kept everyone waiting."

The two of them sat on the chairs in the middle.

The arrangement of the reception hall was unlike other places. In the middle were two sandalwood chairs meant for the host.

On each side, there were rows of chairs for the guests.

The disciples outside quickly came in and served tea, giving a bowl each to Long Fei and Lin Yingying.

After they left, Elder Wang Shun smiled and signaled for someone to bring in the gifts from outside.

The gifts were packed in large red boxes, adorned with big red flowers, looking just like a betrothal gift.

Lin Yingying frowned at the sight, feeling that Elder Wang Shun had more in mind than just thanking them.

She took a sip of tea and smiled at Elder Wang Shun, "Daoist Wang, my husband only helped with a small favor; there’s no need to make such a grand gesture with so many gifts."

Elder Wang Shun waved his hand, "Madam Sect Master might not know; this is no small favor but a matter concerning the survival of Clear Spring Island. If it weren’t for Sect Master Long, the cultivators on our island might have been harmed by the demon monsters at any given moment. These gifts are merely some ordinary gold, silver, and jewels; I hope Sect Master Long and the Sect Master’s wife will not find them displeasing."

Long Fei politely smiled, "How could we? As neighbors in the future, it’s only right for us to help each other. We will accept these gifts, but only this once; please do not go to such lengths again."

"Alright, we’ll do as Sect Master Long says!"

Everyone laughed heartily, feeling that Long Fei was not only high in cultivation level but also very humble.

Elder Wang Shun hesitated for a moment, glanced at his daughter, and then cupped his hands toward Long Fei, "Sect Master Long, I’ve come today with another matter to discuss."

"Please, Daoist Wang, do go on!"

Long Fei took a sip of tea and looked at him with a smile. This update ıs available on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

Lin Yingying squinted her eyes, knowing that Elder Wang Shun was about to offer his daughter for marriage.

If he said it, refusing would put both parties in an awkward position.

Before Elder Wang Shun could speak, Lin Yingying stood up with a smile and said to Wang Yuyan, "Oh, I didn’t notice there was such a beautiful young sister here. Is this Daoist Wang’s daughter?"

Wang Yuyan nodded shyly with a red face, having been scolded by her father on the way, she sat quietly and didn’t dare to speak.

She did not want to marry Long Fei, but she couldn’t disobey her father, and was sitting there thinking of ways to escape.

Daoist Wang smiled as he introduced, "This is indeed my daughter, Yuyan. She just turned sixteen this year. She’s been a sensible and well-mannered girl since she was young. Even though her mother passed away early, I’ve never slackened in her education, always having tutors to teach her embroidery, poetry, and music. This girl can carry herself decently in public."

He was acting like Granny Wang selling her melons, self-praising, evidently quite pleased with his daughter.

Long Fei listened happily, nodding in agreement, "Indeed, a daughter raised by Island Master Wang is bound to be excellent."

Daoist Wang was about to suggest marrying his daughter to him.

Lin Yingying suddenly grabbed Wang Yuyan’s hand and giggled, "This younger sister is indeed wonderful. If she becomes my husband’s honored younger sister, wouldn’t that be a happy event?"

Daoist Wang coughed, almost choking on his breath.

Long Fei hadn’t thought much about it; he just followed Lin Yingying’s lead, "Sure, but I wonder if Miss Wang would be willing?"

He looked at Wang Yuyan, recalling the unintended kiss underwater, he couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

Wang Yuyan happily nodded repeatedly, "I’d be delighted, of course."

She jumped with joy holding Lin Yingying’s hand, never expecting the matter to be resolved so easily.

Even though Shui Han had beaten her that day, her heart remained with Shui Han.

As long as she didn’t have to marry Long Fei, she’d agree to anything.

Lin Yingying smiled and instructed, "Alright, since there are no objections, Yuyan, quickly serve your brother tea and acknowledge this relation!"

Wang Yuyan nodded quickly, and when the disciples brought tea, she knelt before Long Fei with the bowl in hand, "Brother, please accept this bow from your little sister!"

"Alright, get up now!"

Long Fei smiled, took the bowl, sipped the tea, and acknowledged the sisterly bond.

Wang Yuyan stood up happily, winking at her father repeatedly.

Elder Wang Shun covered his face, caught off guard by the way things had turned out, not at all according to his plan.

Still, being siblings was as beneficial as being married, as long as it strengthened the relationship between the two families.

He collected himself and smiled while stroking his beard, "This is wonderful. From now on, Clear Spring Island and Jade Island are united. We’ll share blessings and face difficulties together. If Jade Island encounters anything in the future, Clear Spring Island will certainly never sit idly by."

Long Fei nodded with a laugh, ordering wine and dishes to entertain everyone, and only after seeing them off did he return to the house with Lin Yingying.

Sitting back down, still slightly tipsy, he poured himself another glass with furrowed brows, "What’s on Elder Wang Shun’s mind, making his daughter my sister, doesn’t that lower his generation?"

Lin Yingying laughed, "Why, aren’t you happy?"

Long Fei shook his head, "Worldly customs, it’s not about being happy, just a bit baffling."

Lin Yingying burst into laughter, "The sisterhood idea was mine. He came wanting to marry his daughter off to you."

Long Fei almost choked on his wine, "This concerns a young lady’s reputation, don’t say such things carelessly."

Lin Yingying said, "How is it careless? Look at these gifts."

She got up, revealing the red cloth off the gifts one by one, explaining to Long Fei, "Look, there are exactly ninety-nine gifts, which is the ancient number of betrothals for noble families, symbolizing forever. There are the three sacrificial animals, four fruits, four kinds of candies, along with rice bags, fireworks, bracelets, and gold. These are all wedding gifts. Tell me, wasn’t he here to propose marriage?"

Long Fei chuckled, surprised at the implication hidden in a mere gift.

Lin Yingying smirked and said, "Well, if you don’t like having a new sister, you can always change your mind."

Long Fei quickly added, "No, no, I will certainly heed your advice, my wife.""
