Marrying into the Family and Settling a Karmic Debt

In front of Liu Hai's house, the whole family, dressed in neat and proper fine clothes, stood solemnly, quietly waiting for the Lin Household to arrive.

Liu Wei looked up at the distant horizon, his gaze somewhat dazed.

This trip was about his life's most important event, but deep down he had already given up hope.

Regardless of the inherent arrogance of cultivators or the vast difference in family background between the two families, the Lin Household would probably not agree to his marriage with Yufei.

Suddenly, a point of light flashed across the distant horizon, rapidly heading towards Liu Hai's house.

In the blink of an eye, the point of light was right in front of them; it was a flying boat.

The airship came to a stop on the open ground, and the cabin door opened as the twelve people disembarked one after another.

The leader, dressed in a gold-embroidered robe, exuded an imposing aura, while the others followed cautiously behind.

When Lin Yufei saw Liu Wei, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in her eyes, but when she looked at her ancestor Lin Ze in front of her, that light was replaced by a trace of unease.

Upon seeing the Lin Household arrive, Liu Hai immediately put on a smile and stepped forward to greet them:

"Welcome everyone to the Liu Household! Tea has been prepared inside. Shall we go in and talk?"

Lin Ze nodded slightly, his tone calm and even. "No need. We can clear things up here about my Yufei and Liu Wei; it won't take much time."

Upon hearing this, the Liu Household felt a chill in their hearts.

This is clearly a hostile move; it seems that Liu Wei and Lin Yufei's marriage is most likely to fall through.

Liu Hai maintained his smile, his tone becoming increasingly respectful. "Senior, Liu Wei and Lin Yufei are deeply in love, and we hope you can grant their wish."

Lin Ze slightly raised his eyelids, his gaze sweeping over the Liu Household, and slowly spoke:

"My Yufei is Innate Heavenly Spirit Root, has outstanding aptitude for cultivation, and has a limitless future."

Although your Liu Wei has decent talent for cultivation, it's still unknown how far he can go.

Moreover, the Lin Household and the Liu Household family are vastly different in social standing and are not a suitable match for each other.

However, their plan isn't entirely impossible; it just needs to be changed in form—that is, Liu Wei would marry into our Lin Household.

The commotion caused by Liu Hai's family, coupled with the arrival of the flying boat, attracted the attention of all the villagers in Liu Household Village, who gathered around to watch.

Upon hearing Lin Ze's words, everyone's faces immediately turned angry.

It should be noted that the entire Liu Household Village is composed of people of the same clan, and Liu Wei is the village's most outstanding individual.

Now they actually want Liu Wei to marry into the Lin Household; this is simply outrageous!

"The Lin Household has gone too far! Liu Wei saved Lin Yufei's life, and this is how they treat their savior?"

"Hmph, all cultivators are like this, arrogant and haughty. Does he still think the mortal world is what it used to be?"

"What a pity for Liu Wei. It seems this marriage is off. I hope he can pull through."

Upon hearing the villagers' discussions, Lin Yu, the eldest elder of the Lin Household, immediately changed color, unleashing his Late Stage Nascent Soul Realm aura and pressing down on the Liu Household Village.

"How dare you! You disrespect the Lin Household! Confess your crimes immediately!"

However, what responded to him was the simultaneous emergence of the auras of three Dao Image Realm, which steadily blocked his momentum.

Lin Ze was taken aback, never expecting that such a small mountain village would have so many Dao Image Realm cultivators.

He immediately unleashed the aura of the Late Stage Spirit Transformation Realm, pressing down on the crowd.

Liu Hai's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward, saying, "Senior, please calm down! We are from the countryside, and people here are used to being rough and impulsive. Please forgive us!"

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Lin Yufei was extremely anxious and quickly tried to persuade them:

"Ancestor, please calm down. They did not mean to offend us."

Lin Ze withdrew his imposing aura and coldly snorted, "I'll spare you this time, but don't let it happen again!"

"Thank you for your magnanimity, senior!" Liu Hai quickly bowed and expressed his gratitude, then continued:

"My son Liu Wei has already reached the Early Stage of the Dao Image Realm at the age of fifty-two. He has a great chance of breaking through to the Divine Acupoint Realm or even a higher realm in the future."

In terms of cultivation talent alone, he is more than a match for Lin Yufei of your esteemed family. Could we perhaps discuss the matter of him marrying into the Lin Household again?

Lin Ze said calmly, "There is no room for negotiation on this matter."

Liu Wei stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but please let bygones be bygones regarding the matter of marrying into the Lin Household."

I know I am not worthy of marrying into the Lin Household, so let's just call off my marriage to Yufei."

Lin Yufei's eyes dimmed instantly upon hearing his words.

Although the two had already discussed it in Microchat, planning to wait until Liu Wei broke through to the Divine Acupoint Realm before proposing marriage to the Lin Household.

But hearing him say those words himself, I couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.

Lin Ze's gaze fell on Liu Wei, with a hint of surprise:

"Oh? You've already made up your mind? By marrying into my Lin Household, you can enjoy the Lin Household's Cultivation Resources, which is far more promising than staying in this small mountain village."

Liu Wei said solemnly, "My mind is made up. In this day and age, you can buy Cultivation Resources as long as you have Energy Points."

If I need resources in the future, I can simply promote the system to earn Energy Points.

When Liu Hai and the others saw Liu Wei publicly refuse to marry into the family, they felt both gratified and a little sorry for the injustice he had suffered.

Seeing Liu Wei's resolute attitude, Lin Ze said, "Since you are unwilling to marry into the Lin Household, then as Yufei's savior, our Lin Household will not be ungrateful."

Here are 5,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, a bottle of Spirit Essence Pill, a Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact sword, and 1 million Energy Points, as a reward.

From now on, you and my Yufei need not have any further contact.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi, the head of the Lin Household and Lin Yufei's father, stepped forward and waved his hand.

Five thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, a bottle of Spirit Essence Pill, and a Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact sword appeared on the open ground before them.

He looked at Liu Wei and said calmly, "Show me the QR code, and I'll transfer 1 million Energy Points to you."

Lin Yufei subtly winked at Liu Wei, signaling him to accept the money, while simultaneously sending a message in Microchat:

"Brother Wei, you should accept these rewards."

With these, your cultivation will be faster and you'll break through to the Divine Acupoint Realm more easily. Then you can come to the Lin Household to propose marriage."

Liu Wei replied, "Yu'er, I can't accept this payment. Accepting it would be tantamount to agreeing to never see you again."

Then, he looked at Lin Yi, shook his head, and refused:

"Please take back these rewards. Even if Yufei and I can't become husband and wife, we'll still be friends. Friends help each other, so there's no need for rewards."

"Excellent! Excellent! As expected of a son of the Liu Household, you have backbone!"

Liu Yi flashed into the arena, looking at Liu Wei with eyes full of admiration.

He had just finished paying respects to his parents and elder brother, and was planning to check on Liu Hai's family's situation on the way, but he never expected to encounter this scene.

He did not show himself immediately, but instead observed the situation to see how it would develop before deciding whether to take action.

Liu Wei's performance did not disappoint him; he not only refused to marry into the family but also declined any compensation.

He instantly understood that Liu Wei planned to propose marriage after his cultivation broke through to the Divine Acupoint Realm.

He originally didn't intend to take action, hoping to spur Liu Wei to learn from his mistakes and strive to improve his skills.

But on second thought, I changed my mind.

Although Liu Hai's family is doing alright now, they are still short of resources and their cultivation progress is slow. It is even uncertain whether Liu Hai can break through to the Dao Seed Realm.

I was able to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference back then thanks to my elder brother's support.

Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference, and I would have been buried before I could awaken my past life memories.

Liu Hai's family are descendants of the eldest brother, and since he has the ability, he can't just sit idly by.

Let's help them out this time, give them some resources, and settle this score. From now on, it's up to them to develop on their own.

Having made up his mind, he immediately disguised himself as Liu Xuan and appeared.

After all, he would still need to travel the world in his true form in the future, and it wouldn't be good if he made enemies and brought disaster to Liu Hai's family.

The reason why it is not easy to be transformed into other forms is precisely to use Liu Xuan's illustrious reputation to intimidate the Lin Household.

If he were in any other capacity, he might not be able to intimidate the other party, and in that case, he would most likely have to fight and teach the Lin Household a lesson.

However, the two families will eventually become in-laws, and such a fight will inevitably create discord, putting Liu Wei and Lin Yufei, who are caught in the middle, in a difficult position.

Furthermore, Liu Xuan's enemies were all dead, and he had saved many cultivators, thus establishing good karma. As long as there was no conflict of interest, it would actually benefit Liu Hai's family.

As for the possibility that Liu Xuan's true identity as Liu Yi will be revealed in the future, there is no need to worry too much.

All you need to do is instruct everyone beforehand not to reveal their relationship with you.

I believe they won't tell anyone for their own safety.

Even if the news were to leak out, it would be their own fault for not keeping their mouths shut. If they lost their lives because of it, they wouldn't be to blame him.
