Unlike the elders' fervor, Hyuga Hiashi's brows furrowed tightly.
As a father, he was more concerned about his daughter's safety.
"Xin, is there any danger in the evolution process of this Tenseigan?"
Hyuga Hiashi Uchiha Xin, his tone full of worry.
" Hinata's physique has improved, but I'm afraid her body can't withstand this legendary power."
Uchiha Xin turned to look at Hiashi and gave him a reassuring look.
"Uncle Hiashi, please don't worry."
Uchiha Xin casually fabricated a flawless reason.
"I haven't returned to the village for the past two years precisely because I've been searching for the safest method of evolution and collecting the purest energy sources."
"With these preparations, I guarantee that Hinata will not suffer any harm during the evolution process, not even the slightest pain."
Hearing Uchiha Xin's confident assurance, Hyuga Hiashi's tense nerves finally relaxed.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, and a grateful smile appeared on his previously serious face.
"Since you say so, then I'm relieved. I'm at ease leaving Hinata in your care."
The elder standing nearby keenly noticed the harmonious atmosphere.
He stroked his beard, a shrewd glint in his old eyes.
" Lord Xin, now that there's progress on the matter of the Tenseigan..."
The elder looked at Uchiha Xin with a smile, his tone becoming exceptionally kind.
"You and Hinata are not young anymore. In my opinion, why don't you wait until Hinata awakens her Sharingan and then get married?"
The second elder echoed this sentiment.
"Yes, yes, an early wedding would be a great joy for our Hyuga Clan."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Xin smiled.
He nodded without hesitation.
"No problem. I'll take care of some miscellaneous tasks in the village these next few days."
He then took Hinata to undergo the Eye Awakening Ceremony. The marriage was naturally put on the agenda.
Upon hearing Uchiha Xin's quick agreement, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became incredibly lively.
Hinata Hyuga had been kneeling to the side the whole time, was now almost burying her head in her chest.
From the moment Uchiha Xin entered the room, her gaze was fixed on him.
Two years later, the young man before me had grown even taller and more upright.
The calm and domineering Haki emanating from him made her heart pound like a drum.
Especially when the elders urged him to get married in person, Uchiha Xin readily agreed.
Hinata's cheeks flushed bright red instantly, the blush spreading all the way to her fair ears.
She kept poking at herself with her two slender fingers, her head bowed as low as it could go.
Uchiha Xin's gaze fell on Hinata, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
In just two years, that shy and timid little girl has blossomed into a graceful young woman.
Her loose-fitting traditional Hyuga attire could not conceal her impressively developed figure.
The astonishing curves of her chest stretched her clothes taut.
Hinata, you've grown up.
Uchiha Xin secretly admired him.
In the past, the Hyuga Clan had strict rules.
An unmarried girl behaving so disgracefully in front of her elders would surely be severely reprimanded.
But today.
The three elders looked at Hinata face was so red it was almost bleeding, and their faces were all wrinkled from laughing.
The elder even turned his head and earnestly gave Uchiha Xin some advice.
" Lord Xin, Hinata is an introverted child, so I'll have to ask you to take good care of her from now on."
"You absolutely mustn't bully her."
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the leaves and dappled the cobblestone streets of the Hyuga Clan Compound.
Uchiha Xin strolled leisurely through the Hyuga Clan's courtyard, his hands in his pockets.
Along the way, every Hyuga member they encountered, whether a guard from the Branch Family or a member of the Main Family, was treated with respect.
They all stopped a dozen steps away from him and bowed respectfully.
Good morning, Lord Xin.
" Lord Xin, please feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."
Everyone's face was filled with genuine awe and ingratiation.
With the encouragement of the Hyuga Clan's higher-ups, the entire clan has come to regard Uchiha Xin as a highly respected son-in-law.
After all, a man with legendary strength who could bring the Tenseigan to the Hyuga Clan deserves all their respect.
It was around noon.
Uchiha Xin to Hyuga Hiashi and have lunch with him.
Inside the spacious restaurant, there was a huge, long, low table.
Hyuga Hiashi Uchiha Xin was seated in the most honored guest seat.
At the end of the long table sat Hanabi Hyuga.
As for Hinata, for some unspeakable reason, she was still resting in her room and did not attend the luncheon.
The meal was eaten very quietly.
Under the extremely strict rules of the Hyuga Clan in the past, the Main Family and elders would never dine at the same table as the younger generation.
One should not speak while eating or sleeping; rules are paramount.
But today, in order to entertain Uchiha Xin, Hyuga Hiashi broke these old customs without hesitation.
This was tough on the young and energetic Hanabi Hyuga.
Hanabi knelt on the cushion, holding chopsticks in her hand, exuding an awkwardness from head to toe.
She glanced at her father, whose face was stern, and then at the elder, whose face was full of smiles.
Finally, he secretly glanced at Uchiha Xin sitting opposite him.
She simply couldn't stand the oppressive and strange atmosphere.
Halfway through the meal, the Grand Elder put down his chopsticks and cleared his throat.
" Lord Xin."
The elder's face was beaming with smiles.
"You see, I've already had auspicious dates chosen; the eighth day of next month will be an excellent day."
"Could we settle your marriage with Hinata now?"
The second elder quickly chimed in.
"Yes, you don't need to worry about the betrothal gifts at all. Our Hyuga Clan will take care of everything. All you need to do is nod your head."
Despite the elders' repeated hints and urgings.
Uchiha Xin picked up a piece of tempura, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it slowly, chewing it carefully.
He put down his chopsticks, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and spoke in a detached tone.
There's no rush to get married.
Uchiha Xin looked at the elders.
"I will take Hinata away from the village in three days."
"We'll come back to these formalities once she successfully awakens her Tenseigan."
Upon hearing Uchiha Xin give a clear timetable, the three elders were overjoyed and nodded in agreement, no longer daring to urge him further.
Uchiha Xin stood up.
"I'm full. I still have some things to take care of. Please enjoy your meal."
With that, he turned and strode away from the restaurant.
Seeing Uchiha Xin leave, Hanabi, who had been sitting on Hanabi, felt as if she had been granted a pardon.
