Mo Yun soon arrived at the Main Court.
"Lord Mo, the Village Master has returned. He's in the courtyard right now." The guard was already quite familiar with Mo Yun and seemed to have guessed why he had come. The moment he saw him, he smiled and informed him.
Delighted, Mo Yun hurriedly asked the guard to announce his arrival.
Before long, the guard returned and led him inside.
Following the familiar bluestone path and passing several covered walkways, Mo Yun arrived at the study door.
Before he could knock, Lin Yanshan's powerful voice came from within. "Come in."
Mo Yun pushed the door open and entered, finding Lin Yanshan seated behind his desk with a yellowed ancient book in his hands.
Seeing him enter, Lin Yanshan put down the book and said with some displeasure, "Didn't I give you a token? Why didn't you come straight in?"
Mo Yun smiled sheepishly. "It didn't feel right. What if I stumbled across something I shouldn't see..."
Lin Yanshan's face immediately darkened. "With my cultivation, I could sense you the moment you appeared at the Main Court's entrance. What could you possibly stumble across that you shouldn't see?"
Mo Yun muttered under his breath, "There's still your daughter..."
Yet Lin Yanshan burst out laughing at that. "Wouldn't that be perfect?"
Mo Yun: "?"
Lin Yanshan looked at Mo Yun seriously. "You've met my daughter. Are you really not going to consider it?"
Mo Yun rubbed his brow. "A relationship involves two people. It's not something I can decide alone."
After a moment's thought, Mo Yun added, "Your daughter already came to see me. She said she wouldn't follow your arrangements, that she would only marry someone she liked. She won't acknowledge a marriage you arrange."
Lin Yanshan froze briefly, then nodded helplessly.
