A Perfect Match, Bound in Marriage in the Future; Was He Looking at His Future Daughter-in-Law?

At that moment, everyone revealed curious expressions.

They were all extremely satisfied with Long Haochen's temperament.

They just had not expected him to mature so early.

"Little brother, tell your sister—which little girl made such a deep impression on you that she even gave you this Forget-Me-Not Ring?" Li Xin lifted Long Haochen's arm, smiling as she asked directly.

Earlier, she had taken Long Xingyu as her master.

In a sense, she should have called Long Haochen senior brother, but the two still addressed each other as siblings. After all, Li Xin was a full seven years older than Long Haochen. There was no way he could bring himself to call Li Xin junior sister.

"Sis, what are you talking about?" Long Haochen's little face reddened. "It's not what you think."

"Then what is it?" Li Xin asked curiously.

Bai Yue also watched them with great interest at that moment. She turned her gaze toward Long Xingyu, confusion appearing in her eyes as though she were asking him what exactly had happened.

Interested as she was, she understood her son very well and knew that he would not harbor strange thoughts or behave strangely.

Still, she wanted to know what had happened.

Long Xingyu then had Long Haochen explain it himself.

Long Haochen hurriedly explained everything, from meeting Cai'er to being chased by Wolf Demons, then exhausting his strength. After seeing that mysterious assassin appear, he had passed out immediately.

After that, Long Xingyu had found him and brought him away.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in realization.

Based on what they knew of Long Haochen, this was very much like him.

However, Long Haochen's expression suddenly changed. He looked anxiously toward Long Xingyu.

There had been too much going on earlier, and the excitement of reuniting with his father had made him overlook this matter. Now that he remembered it, he naturally grew somewhat anxious.

He hurriedly asked, "Dad, you came later and took me away."

"You should have seen that little girl, right?"

"She's okay, isn't she? That mysterious assassin in white... he didn't do anything to her, did he?"

Long Haochen sounded rather hurried.

But Long Xingyu merely smiled, rubbed Long Haochen's head, and said, "Don't worry. That girl is fine."

"Her father is the military chief of Demon Extermination Pass, and her great-grandfather, Saint Moon, is the current head of the Assassin Temple. That assassin in white was her guardian."

"He was there to protect her and bring her back to the Assassin Temple. How could anything have happened to her?"

Long Xingyu explained.

Hearing this, Long Haochen let out a long breath. It was good that she was fine. Good that she was fine.

Long Haochen was kind by nature.

If something had really happened to Cai'er, he might even have believed that he had failed to protect her. For the current Long Haochen, it would have been an enormous blow.

He might even have felt guilty over it for the rest of his life.

Now that he knew she was fine, and that she might even become his Demon Hunt Group companion in the future, Long Haochen was naturally happy about it!

After hearing Long Xingyu's explanation, Bai Yue finally realized something.

Looking at Long Xingyu, she asked, "That child is Ling Xin's daughter, isn't she?"

"She is Ling Xin's eldest daughter. She is about the same age as Long Haochen, only a few months younger than Haochen," Long Xingyu explained.

"That's wonderful. You practically watched Ling Xin grow up, and this would make our families even closer. If they truly could marry in the future, it would definitely be a good thing for both the Assassin Temple and the Knight Temple."

"Besides, since she even gave him the Forget-Me-Not Ring, it means Haochen has definitely entered that child's heart. There really is a possibility for things to develop between them."

Bai Yue smiled.

Long Xingyu nodded as well. "I did have that thought. Once Haochen undergoes Sacred Awakening, I'll take him to the Assassin Temple and discuss the matter with Senior Saint Moon."

Bai Yue nodded.

She expressed her agreement.

Hearing this, Long Haochen was completely dumbfounded. He looked hesitantly at his parents, unsure of what he should say.

It was already being arranged?

However, when he remembered Cai'er from that day, a warm current rose within Long Haochen's heart.

That girl was completely different from any girl Long Haochen had seen before. She truly gave him the urge to protect her.

"Sacred Awakening?"

"According to what Dad told me, once I reach one hundred points of Outer Spiritual Power, he'll help me undergo Sacred Awakening. It's close. I have to reach it as quickly as possible!"

Long Haochen thought to himself.

At that moment, he was filled with incomparable anticipation for Sacred Awakening.

Inside the main hall of the Assassin Temple at Demon Extermination Pass.

Saint Moon sat where she was, staring dumbfoundedly at Hero No. 1 before her.

She asked, "You said you saw Long Xingyu in that tiny place, Odin Town?"

"And you even let him learn Cai'er's identity?"

Hero No. 1 nodded, indicating that it was indeed so.

"Yes, Hall Master." Hero No. 1 sighed and recounted the entire matter from beginning to end.

"If his son was there too, then it makes sense. No wonder I never saw Bai Yue or her son at Dragon Control Pass, while Long Xingyu would occasionally leave Dragon Control Pass. So they had moved somewhere else."

Saint Moon nodded, not finding it strange.

After all, Bai Yue had not even truly entered the profession. She was currently only a second-tier priest. A priest of that level would face considerable danger in a place like Dragon Control Pass, so moving somewhere safer was perfectly normal.

Likewise, she did not care that Cai'er's identity had been exposed to Long Xingyu.

She knew Long Xingyu's character. He would not speak recklessly.

Their families had been friends for generations. Saint Moon was also acquainted with Long Tianyin and had watched Long Xingyu grow up, so she was very assured of his character.

However, the next moment, she looked at the hesitant Hero No. 1 before her with confusion and asked, "But, No. 1, ever since earlier..."

"You've seemed restrained and hesitant. Did something else happen? Tell me everything."

Since this concerned Cai'er, Saint Moon had to know every detail.

"The way Long Xingyu looked at Cai'er was very strange." Hero No. 1 sighed. He had not wanted to say it, but since Saint Moon had asked...

He could only tell the truth.

"Strange? In what way?"

"Could it be that he wanted to abduct Cai'er and use her to threaten the Assassin Temple? That's impossible, isn't it?"

Saint Moon was somewhat puzzled.

Given Long Xingyu's character, there were not many things he would do in such a situation.

That was why Saint Moon was confused about what had made Hero No. 1 so hesitant.

Hearing this, Hero No. 1 said faintly, "If I wasn't mistaken, that look in his eyes was like... a father-in-law looking at his future daughter-in-law."

"Oh, looking at a future daughter-in-law? That's nothing." Saint Moon nodded. At first, she did not think it was a big deal.

But suddenly, her eyes widened as she looked at Hero No. 1.

She shouted, "What did you say?"

"At Cai'er???"

"Looking at a future daughter-in-law?"
