As if the humiliation wasn't enough, the young man from the Xiang Household also spoke up with a half-smile.
"If the Feng Household thinks it's too little, I can give you an extra half percent."
"But you know my conditions... as long as our two families form a marriage alliance..."
His interest in Feng Yong wasn't something that happened overnight.
It is common knowledge.
Moreover, he proposed marriage to her multiple times, but was rejected each time.
To suddenly speak like this at this moment is, firstly, a sarcastic remark, secondly, kicking someone when they're down, and thirdly, a test.
What if Feng Yong agrees?
After all, this is a relic of the Saint Realm!
Feng Yong gave him a look of disgust and refused without hesitation.
"Impossible!"
She showed no mercy, and the young man from the Xiang Household immediately turned extremely ugly, staring coldly at Feng Yong and speaking sarcastically.
"In that case, Feng Household can only watch us explore for our fortuitous opportunity!"
Now, all the other Lineage are on his side, and Feng Yong has no say at all.
She had no choice!
Feng Yong's face also darkened. He gritted his teeth and was about to say something when suddenly, the white miasma that had been shrouding everyone slowly dissipated, and a ray of sunlight from the Vast Sea Secret Realm shone in.
Immediately, everyone became alert and looked in the direction where the miasma had dissipated.
There, a figure slowly emerged.
When they clearly saw the white-clad youth standing before them, their initial wariness vanished instantly.
Thearch Realm?
The young man from the Xiang Household frowned, then quickly relaxed his gaze, revealing a mocking smile.
Moreover, it seems that he is only at the Thearch Realm First Layer.
He was no longer on guard; he just found it somewhat amusing and surprising.
How did this guy get here?
What incredible luck!
You have to understand, it took a lot of effort for us, many of us at the Great Emperor Realm, to get here. This person probably just stumbled upon it by chance and got lucky.
Unlike them, Feng Yong was different.
Although it was only a brief encounter, that meeting left an indelible impression on Feng Yong's heart.
Upon meeting him again today, she recognized Lin Xuan at a single glance.
After seeing his true face, she was both shocked and delighted.
It's him!
It really was him!
Back then, in the Luminous Domain, Lin Xuan killed three Thearch Realm with One Sword strike, which greatly shocked her.
Unfortunately, Lin Xuan left too quickly, and she didn't have a chance to get to know him.
I never expected to meet you here again.
That's really lucky.
Keep in mind, back then, the opponent wasn't even at the Thearch Realm yet, and he was already able to kill enemies beyond his level, even slaying Thearch Realm. Now that he's already entered the Thearch Realm, wouldn't his strength be even greater?
She glanced at the others who hadn't even reacted yet, and without hesitation, stepped forward.
It's you!
His tone carried the joy of a long-awaited reunion.
Upon seeing the woman who suddenly approached and seemed to recognize him, Lin Xuan was taken aback when he saw her face clearly.
He wasn't so bad as to forget what the other person looked like.
Even if it's just a fleeting encounter, a cultivator's memory is incredibly powerful.
Therefore, he does remember the other person.
I also remember that I first met him when I was chasing down Alien Race.
However, he was busy dealing with matters concerning the Alien Race at the time and had no time to linger in their territory. He never expected that after their parting, they would have the opportunity to meet again today.
We met here again.
The other party was very enthusiastic, so he naturally didn't show any coldness and simply nodded in agreement.
"My name is Lin Xuan. It seems we are indeed destined to meet."
When Feng Yong heard Lin Xuan's response, his smile became even warmer.
"My name is Feng Yong, and I am the Empress of Luminous Domain. I haven't had a chance to say it yet, but I thank you for your help back then. Otherwise, I would have died at the hands of the Alien Race long ago, and I wouldn't be where I am today."
It was just a small favor.
Lin Xuan casually shook his head, unconvinced.
He never intentionally went to save the cultivators from the Luminous Domain.
After speaking, Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow at the group of people who were staring at him and his companion with clearly unfriendly expressions.
"You are here..."
When he asked about it, Feng Yong didn't feel there was anything to hide, and shook his head with a wry smile.
Glancing at the others, knowing it wasn't the time for reminiscing, she cut to the chase and telepathically told Lin Xuan about her past experiences facing the shattering of the Luminous Domain, her arrival at the Endless Sea, obtaining the map, and her journey to the Vast Sea Secret Realm to search for the Saint Realm's inheritance.
This is something I shouldn't have said.
However, since these Lineage had already decided to back out, she didn't care to tell anyone else.
In particular, this "other person" was Lin Xuan, who had saved her life.
After transmitting his voice, Feng Yong couldn't help but extend another invitation.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, why don't you come with me? This Saint Realm inheritance is perilous; the more people there are, the greater our chances of success."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected that Feng Yong would also obtain fortuitous opportunity, but it was clear that the fortuitous opportunity they obtained were not the same.
What she received was guidance on specific directions within the inheritance array.
All he had were the coordinates left behind by the Lineage before their deaths.
So, the fastest way to reach the Land of Inheritance is still to look to Feng Yong.
"Alright, thank you then."
Since there was a shortcut available, Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't let it pass by, so he nodded in agreement.
Feng Yong was overjoyed.
Although she had only met Lin Xuan twice, she didn't think that such a god-like figure who had saved them from imminent danger could be as greedy as those other people.
Even if that's the case, she'll accept it!
Without Lin Xuan, she wouldn't be who she is today. So what if she had to give away all her gains this time? She would consider it repayment for Lin Xuan's past kindness!
It's better than giving it to those ungrateful wretches.
As the two spoke, everyone else watched coldly from the sidelines, unimpressed.
The woman sneered, "So, this person is actually an accomplice hired by Feng Yong?"
His voice was full of disdain.
"Heh, he's just an Thearch Realm. What use would it be to invite him?"
"If it weren't for the jade token that Feng Yong possessed to activate the grand formation, she wouldn't even be qualified to participate among us!"
The group was abuzz with discussion. As Lin Xuan and Feng Yong approached, the young man from the Xiang Household narrowed his eyes and scoffed.
" Feng Yong, who is this person? You didn't tell me there were other people here."
Feng Yong frowned, but refused to back down, saying, "This is my friend. What? Is that not allowed?"
"No matter what, I discovered this fortuitous opportunity myself. Do you think I don't even have the right to add one more person?"
At this point, Elder Qiu chuckled and began to smooth things over.
"Of course not, young friend Feng, don't worry. We're doing this for your own good, and also for your friend."
"It's extremely dangerous in there. He's only at the Thearch Realm; it would be terrible if he died in there."
