Of course, Lin Ye knew why these people had come.
He had arranged it all beforehand.
He wanted everyone to know that Zhu Zhuqing was the woman he had chosen.
With all of Spirit Hall's senior figures as witnesses, he would give Zhu Zhuqing a rightful place by his side!
"What? Am I not allowed to come?"
Bibi Dong's gaze swept over Zhu Zhuqing's flushed cheeks and the ring on her hand, her tone betraying neither pleasure nor anger.
"If I waited any longer, someone might steal away my most prized disciple."
At those words, Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head even further, her palms sweating with nerves.
She had faced countless powerful soul beasts and life-threatening dangers, yet she had never been this nervous.
Because the woman before her was Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall and Lin Ye's teacher!
In a sense, she was also her "mother-in-law."
To have her first meeting with his family happen right after they had walked in on his proposal was simply too... too embarrassing!
"You're teasing me, Teacher."
Lin Ye, however, was neither meek nor arrogant. He drew Zhu Zhuqing a little behind him, looked Bibi Dong straight in the eye, and spoke each word clearly.
"I'm not stealing her away. I'm marrying her."
"Today, I, Lin Ye, have proposed to Zhuqing. From this moment on, she is my one and only fiancée."
"I hope you'll give us your blessing, Teacher."
Lin Ye's words rang out with an unmistakable air of authority.
He was not asking permission. He was informing her.
Every gaze settled on Bibi Dong.
They all wanted to see how Her Holiness the Pope would respond to this increasingly assertive disciple, whose achievements were already beginning to overshadow her own.
