He Was Wu Su Su's Man

Finally, the day of the Engagement Banquet arrived...

The Engagement Banquet is an evening banquet, which usually begins in the evening.

There are less than two hours left until the engagement banquet.

Wearing Secretary Uniform and red glasses, Bai Ling Bai Qiao directed the palace maids as they busied themselves with their tasks.

Everything was so orderly and well-organized, showcasing the qualities of a strong, independent woman.

As for Jiang Lin, he is currently meditating on the rock that resembles the head of a Black Tortoise.

However, Jiang Lin found it difficult to enter a meditative state.

How should I put it?

It's often said that marriage is the grave of love. Although Jiang Lin never believed this nonsense, after all, dating without the intention of marriage is just playing around.

Even if it was a fake marriage, even if it was just an engagement banquet, Jiang Lin still felt something was off.

Of course, this is not the reason why Jiang Lin is unable to enter a meditative state now.

The main reason was that Jiang Lin was wondering Wu Die, or perhaps Wu Su Su, would help him with this favor.

When I delivered that letter to those feudal lords, I was actually gambling.

Those feudal lords who have colluded with the Demon Race World will definitely seek confirmation from Wu Su Su as quickly as possible, so Wu Su Su's reaction is key. Jiang Lin is gambling on whether Wu Su Su will help him.

After learning about the news spread by the princes of the White Empire, Wu Su Su, with her intelligence, was sure to understand all her intentions: she wanted to exchange a favor for this kind of help from her.

But would Wu Die actually help? Would she want his favor? Jiang Lin wasn't quite sure.

In short, you're panicking.

Another reason is that, for some unknown reason, Jiang Lin's right eyelid keeps twitching...

And I have a feeling that something else will happen tonight...

This is a man's intuition...

On the other hand, compared to Jiang Lin, the other female protagonist at tonight's Engagement Banquet didn't think so much.

Inside the palace, the maids were helping their mistress with her grooming and dressing.

As the makeup process came to a close, the maids withdrew because the final step of drawing the eyebrows required the master's best friend to do it.

A one-eyed woman named Ning Zhu, whose true form was Huan, stepped forward, gently picked up an eyebrow pencil, and looked at the extremely beautiful girl in front of her. Even she, a woman herself, couldn't help but be moved.

With her eyebrows lightly drawn, Ning Zhu put down her eyebrow pencil and looked at herself in the mirror. Ning Zhu even doubted whether this girl, who was so beautiful despite only wearing a light touch of makeup, really existed.

"That man really got off easy."

As she combed Bai Jiu Yi's black hair, Ning Zhu sighed softly, but in her heart she felt boundless blessings for the girl.

Bai Jiu Yi lowered her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. Although the movement was extremely small, it was as tender and beautiful as a newly sprouted daffodil bud.

"Otherwise, let's skip the fake marriage and make it real."

The woman hugged her best friend from behind, looking at her in her red makeup, and said with a touch of heartache.

Bai Jiu Yi smiled and shook her head at her best friend's words, saying nothing more.

As long as I can be with him, even if it's temporary, even if it's a fake marriage, I'll be content.

As night falls, on this special day, White Emperor City is already decorated with lanterns and ribbons. Red lanterns and ribbons are hung high, the streets are bustling with tourists, and the shouts of vendors never cease, making it like a red city that never sleeps.

As the feudal lords were about to arrive, Bai Ling and Bai Qiao, dressed in elegant light red dresses, continued to make arrangements in an orderly manner, as if they had nothing to fear as long as their master was there.

Now, he's been added to the list...

And now he...

"Hey buddy, those wings of yours are something else! Could you be the legendary Bifang? Oh, you just have the blood of Bifang, huh? No wonder you have two legs. It's okay, you'll become a real Bifang someday. Hurry up and take a seat, today is my engagement banquet, cheer up."

"Lao Sheng! I've missed you so much!"

Who is this fellow Daoist?

"Jiang Lin, have you forgotten? When your Wanlong Kingdom released the water, the amount of water was simply incredible. Even our Continent Water Curtain Sect's La Jiang craftsman couldn't match your water level."

As he spoke, Jiang Lin "secretly" slipped a wad of paper into its hand.

"Jiang Lin?"

Upon receiving the note, the Sheng Yu pondered for a moment, initially genuinely bewildered, then suddenly "realized" it!

(Sheng Yu: On Jade Mountain, there is a bird that looks like a pheasant but is red. It is named Sheng Yu. It eats fish, and its cry sounds like a deer. If it appears, it foretells a great flood in the country.)

"Old Jiang! I remember you! I, Sheng Yu, love to spray water! I never expected you to be in the Wanlong Kingdom that time, my apologies."

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

"We'll have a good catch-up then."

"Of course, let's take our seats first..."

"Hey! Zhen Di Jian!"

As soon as the Prime Minister of the White Empire Zhen Di Jian, walked in, he was patted heavily on the back by a man whose appearance was ridiculously handsome.

"Zhen Di Jian, have you forgotten me? I'm Jiang Lin, nicknamed Zhen Di Meng! I lived right next door to you, Old Jiang next door. When your son Zhen Di Sha was born, I was the one who took care of your wife. Your wife even said she wanted Zhen Di Sha to recognize me as his father."

"Unrestrained Shopkeeper! What are you saying! I'm already eight hundred years old!"

"Hey, how dare you talk to your father like that?" Jiang Lin slapped Zhen Di Sha on the head.

The slap was more powerful than Zhen Di Sha, but soon, Jiang Lin slapped him several more times.

Clutching his head, Zhen Di Sha pointed blankly at Jiang Lin: "Even my father never hit me like that!"

"Who said that? I just hit you!"

"Jiang Lin, I'll stick with you!"

"Alright."

"Sword of Zhen Di Jian," he said with a rather unpleasant expression, but he quickly hid the note that Jiang Lin had just handed him.

Looking at Jiang Lin, although she didn't know what this spy from the Demon Race World was up to, Wu Su Su seemed to value this man highly.

Moreover, everyone's plans are all going to be carried out by this man, so no matter how unhappy they are, there's nothing they can do about it now.

"Sha'er, this is indeed your godfather. He used to live next door to your father, and you were the one who took care of your mother when you were about to give birth..."

"Father..."

Zhen Di Jian's face darkened. "Father? What father? Quickly apologize to your godfather."

"Godfather... I'm sorry... I was being presumptuous... Please forgive me, Godfather."

"It's alright, Brother Zhen Di Jian, my godson, please take a seat. I'll go greet the others..."

"Hey! Old Teddy, let go of that pillar!"

Watching Jiang Lin become so familiar with one feudal lord after another, and how those lords, initially bewildered, eventually became genuinely friendly, with a few even going so far as to greet him directly, left Zhen Di Sha completely dumbfounded...

"Father, who is this Jiang Lin?"

"Don't ask... and don't even think about touching him, he's Wu Su Su's man!"
