Two Plans for the Marriage Contract

The little girl didn't ask about breaking off the engagement again. She fiddled with the spiritual medicine, then held a vial of potion towards Lu Shui and said:

"Hand."

Lu Shui extended his hand, which was about to lose feeling, and said by the way:

"You said you're much older than me? How much older?"

"I don't remember, it's just a lot, a lot." The little girl reached out, injected the potion into Lu Shui's hand, and said.

"Then why do you still look like a child?" Lu Shui didn't care about his hand.

"Because I can't grow up." The little girl looked at Lu Shui's hand.

She seemed to be watching the reaction of Lu Shui's hand.

At this moment, Lu Shui indeed felt his hand regaining sensation.

After a long pause, Lu Shui asked:

"Are you a dwarf?"

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time but never had the opportunity. Now, the opportunity was rare.

Hearing this, the little girl looked up at Lu Shui. Her eyes were very clear, and it was impossible to tell if she had any emotions.

Finally, she didn't speak and continued to observe Lu Shui's hand.

Lu Shui's heart inexplicably sighed in relief. He had thought this little girl would just throw him away.

"Have you ever thought about growing up?" Lu Shui squeezed his hand at this moment, feeling a slight itch, as if a rash was starting to appear.

The little girl saw it and added a new potion for Lu Shui:

"I used to think about it, but not anymore."

Lu Shui was curious:

"Why?"

Seeing Lu Shui's hand recovering, the little girl stood up and said:

"Don't you know that growing up comes with adult troubles?"

Without looking at Lu Shui again, the little girl looked at Zhen Ling and then threw out two bottles of potion:

"Take these to the person in charge of maintaining Qiuyun Town this time. Have him pour them into the water source, and then let everyone drink some water. This mutation can be passed."

Zhen Ling received the potion and subconsciously nodded:

"Yes."

But as soon as he agreed, Zhen Ling was surprised. Why did he agree?

However, he didn't dare to say more and then took his leave to head to Qiuyun Town.

Lu Shui also stood up. He found that his hand was already healed. It seemed he had indeed been a guinea pig.

Well, it was as expected.

At this moment, Lu Shui saw the little girl looking over:

"Go to the main hall. The Third Elder is waiting for you there."

After that, the little girl turned around, took a step, and then disappeared on the spot.

Lu Shui was not surprised, nor was Zhen Wu.

But unlike Lu Shui, Zhen Wu did not look in the direction the little girl left. His senses had been deceived.

Lu Shui didn't mind and walked towards the Lu Family Main Hall.

He was going to see the Third Elder, which was not a happy occasion.

This time, he didn't break off the engagement. To put it broadly, he saved the entire Lu family.

If Mu Xue had killed him back then, it would have certainly led to enmity with the Lu family. In a few more years, Mu Xue would have been able to flatten the Lu family.

He did it all for the Lu family.

Okay, just kidding.

--- In the Lu Family Main Hall.

The Third Elder sat at the head of the hall, his face gloomy. He originally looked like everyone owed him five million, but now he looked like everyone owed him fifty million.

But soon, a little girl's figure appeared at the bottom of the hall. As soon as she appeared, she walked directly to the head of the hall.

The moment the Third Elder saw her, he immediately put away his fifty-million-face expression, then stood up, and retreated to the side.

The little girl came to the highest position and sat down.

As soon as the little girl sat down, she spoke:

"The matter in Qiuyun Town has been resolved."

"Thank you for your hard work, Second Elder." The Third Elder immediately said.

The Lu Family Second Elder, Lu Youting, has the appearance of a young girl for life, possesses immense strength, and her medical and alchemy skills are extraordinary and transcendent.

The Second Elder paid this no mind and said:

"I have already met Lu Shui."

The Third Elder was somewhat surprised but still asked curiously:

"What does the Second Elder think?"

"Lu Shui's failure to break off the engagement is an undeniable fact, and the matter we must face is also unavoidable," the Second Elder said.

Yes, the trouble Lu Shui had caused, they could not escape.

It was precisely because of this that the Third Elder was angry.

It was fine to lose face before, but this time he directly implicated them.

He was simply lawless.

"However, Lu Shui proposed a rather interesting theory," the Second Elder said.

As the Third Elder listened curiously, the Second Elder described Lu Shui's previous theory.

After listening, the Third Elder frowned and asked:

"Is it credible?"

The Second Elder shook her head:

"It's not credible. He's just making excuses for himself, but this excuse does point in a direction.

It's just..."

"Is there a problem?" the Third Elder asked.

The Second Elder looked somewhat doubtful and said:

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but although I feel like everything he proposed are excuses, he doesn't seem to repel the idea of marrying Mu Xue. Or rather, he genuinely wants to marry Mu Xue."

"But this goes against our original plan," the Third Elder said.

"Then let's provide two plans. The first is to find a candidate from the Heavenly Pool River as originally planned. If the candidate is unsuitable, then we choose the second plan.

The second plan is to indulge Lu Shui's recklessness and have him marry Mu Xue, who is a commoner," the Second Elder said.

"Lu Shui's recklessness has allowed the Mu Family to solidify the marriage contract, which makes it difficult to handle," the Third Elder said, this was the obstacle to the first plan.

The Second Elder didn't think this was a problem:

"Because of Lu Shui's marriage, the Great Elder was already going to go out. Going out once is no different from going out twice."

The Third Elder was a little surprised. Was she asking the Great Elder to personally break off the engagement?

That was truly giving the Mu Family face:

"Will the Great Elder agree?"

"Yes." A calm voice suddenly sounded in the main hall.

Since that was the case, the Third Elder no longer cared.

It was better to have the Great Elder and Second Elder willing to act than for him to figure things out alone.

The main issue was that Lu Shui was truly exasperating, acting like he had nothing left to lose.

At this moment, the Second Elder stood up:

"The rest is up to you."

"Does Lu Shui still need to be punished?" the Third Elder asked.

"That's your decision. Don't let our participation influence your choice." With that, the Second Elder took a step forward and disappeared from her original place.

The Third Elder frowned, looking quite puzzled:

"Did Lu Shui offend the Second Elder?"

The Second Elder reappeared outside a room door. The door was open, and inside sat a young and beautiful woman, seemingly sighing.

Upon seeing this, the Second Elder walked in:

"What are you thinking about?"

Dongfang Liyin immediately turned her head to look.

When she saw the Second Elder, her face lit up with joy:

"Second Elder, why are you here?"

Saying this, Dongfang Liyin ran to the Second Elder's side and reached out to pinch the Second Elder's cute little cheek.

Pa

The Second Elder directly slapped Dongfang Liyin's hand away and said sternly:

"Disrespectful..."

"Got it, respect the old and love the young, ma." Dongfang Liyin said directly before the Second Elder could finish.

The Second Elder looked a little helpless, then sat down by the table and said:

"Reach out."

Dongfang Liyin didn't hesitate at all and immediately extended her hand.

Then the Second Elder began to take Dongfang Liyin's pulse.
