Chapter 1772: Chapter 1752: The Marriage Affairs of a Pair of Children Was Settled_1 Chapter 1772: Chapter 1752: The Marriage Affairs of a Pair of Children Was Settled_1 Lin Ruize: “…”
It seemed that he was even more effective than elixirs!
City Lord Mu stroked his beard and laughed, revealing his cunning like a fox.

After dinner, City Lord Mu went to the Lin Residence overnight and discussed the marriage alliance with Duke Zhen and his wife.
The Duchess of Zhen had a good impression of Mu Qifu and had long intended to make her their daughter-in-law.
The two sides quickly agreed, and the discussions were exceptionally enthusiastic.
Considering that Lin Ruize was the younger generation, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to get married before his uncles.
Duke Zhen and his wife decided to propose marriage to the Mu family first. After settling the marriage, they would wait for the uncles to get married before holding the wedding for their grandchildren.
Lin Ruize learned about this from his father. To everyone's surprise, he only hesitated for a few seconds and didn't resist.
Lin Jinyu was both astonished and relieved. He patted his son's shoulder as a father, expressing his congratulations.
Thus, the marriage of the two children was settled.
The Lin Residence was filled with joy, with red lanterns hanging high and red ribbons wrapped around the branches of the big Banyan tree outside the peach grove. This attracted the admiration of the young girls.
The peach grove was in full bloom, the pastoral scenery was beautiful, the red ribbons fluttered and danced in the wind.
Gradually, it became a scenic spot in Luofeng Village, attracting more and more tourists to visit.
Some even suggested building a temple for the God of Love here, so that young boys and girls could come to pray for blessings.

Lin Qingluo, who heard tourists' jokes, didn't take it too seriously. She rarely had a break, spending her days at home with the two babies and nights at the Immortal Palace accepting challenges from her disciples.
Shuttling between these two places, she led a peaceful and contented life.
When autumn turned to winter, half a year had passed in a blink of an eye.
In the season when the spring flowers bloomed, an old woman with a haggard face paid a visit, breaking the tranquility of the Lin Residence.
“Old Man Lai, what happened? Who hurt you?”
Lin Qingluo saw Old Man Lai's remaining soul hovering before her, and she still couldn't believe the cruel reality.
“Old Lady Zou and I successfully leveled up, but before we could leave the Fallen Gods Mountain Range, we encountered a rogue cultivator.”
Old Man Lai's soul looked dejected as he recounted the cruel facts: “He had a deep scheming mind, suppressed his mana, pretended to have fallen off a cliff and lost his memory, and deliberately approached us.”
“We saw that he only had Soul Formation Stage strength and was a man who had lost his memory, so we had no defenses and traveled with him for a while.”
“Unexpectedly, the moment he learned that we were new to the Spirit Realm and didn't have an Identity Token, he immediately had murderous intentions.”
“He deliberately led us into a poisonous land filled with poisonous insects and strange beasts. Old Man Lai was blinded by the poison, and I was wounded.”
Old Lady Zou recalled the scene and was filled with anger and hatred: “Old Man Lai fought the enemy desperately and dragged him into the corrosive poison lake. They perished together. I was powerless to help and could only save a wisp of his soul.”
Lin Qingluo's breath hitched: “Old Man Lai's body is gone?”
“It's gone.”
Old Man Lai still shuddered at the thought of the terrifying poison lake.
“The lake had strong corrosive properties. The moment I fell in, my body turned to blood and water. If Old Lady Zou hadn't acted in time, I would have been reduced to ashes and ceased to exist in this world.”
“What about the others?”
Lin Qingluo thought of Ancestor Kunlun and Patriarch Xiayao and couldn't help worrying for them.
“I don't know.”
Old Lady Zou shook her head sadly: “After the eight of us arrived in the Spirit Realm through the Cross-border Transmission Array, we went our separate ways. Old Man Lai and I shared the same goal. We wanted to increase our mana as quickly as possible, so we chose to practice in seclusion in the Fallen Gods Mountain Range. We never expected this to happen as soon as we left the seclusion.”
