The Marriage
Baojian was not born into the Mo Household. He only heard about this from an old servant in private later. As the young master grew older, he no longer had much contact with this Second Miss Xuanyuan, so he was not very clear about it.
After hearing Baojian's explanation, Sun Yigao understood and found it quite interesting. He hadn't expected that Yuanjiao still had a verbal engagement from their childhood.
Moreover, judging from the situation just now, Yuanjiao seemed to be taking good care of the Second Miss Xuanyuan. Otherwise, with his current cultivation level of the Golden Core Middle Stage, it would have been too easy for him to get rid of a young girl quietly along the way.
However, the path ahead is the Heart-Questioning Road, and if the girl can't get in, she'll probably give up.
Sun Yigao and Mo Yuanjiao were thinking the same thing.
When Xuanyuan Haoyue arrived at the foot of North Mountain, he was indeed stopped by the Heart-Questioning Road.
Mo Yuanjiao stood on the mountain path and said happily:
"You can't get in, can you? You can't catch up, can you? You should go home now."
Xuanyuan Haoyue looked at the beautiful Peach Blossom Mountain Path before her, but it seemed as if an invisible wall blocked her entrance, preventing her from taking another step. Adding to her frustration was Mo Yuanjiao's gloating expression inside. She couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"Jiaomei, go and fetch the carriage!"
The Xuanyuan Household's carriage followed at a distance from the group. Upon receiving the order, the maid Jiaomei immediately went over and summoned the carriage.
Then Mo Yuanjiao saw the girl, supported by a servant, lift her skirt and step onto the carriage. He thought she was going home, but to his surprise, she turned around and sat down in the carriage. She even had the curtain opened and sat there calmly, quenching her thirst with the tea and fruit prepared in the carriage, while raising an eyebrow at Mo Yuanjiao.
It's like saying, "I'm not leaving."
Mo Yuanjiao helplessly, but after thinking about it, he realized that this place was at the foot of the Lingxian Sect Mountain, so there shouldn't be any danger.
He glanced at Xuanyuan Haoyue's loosely tied hair and the dangling hairpin on it, and finally chose to leave a Divine Sense Mark on the peace lock necklace hanging around her neck.
He remembered that this was something the girl had worn since she was little, and she shouldn't easily part with it. He was confident that he could sense if anything happened to her immediately. He then said to Xuanyuan Haoyue:
"If you don't leave, I'm not going to take care of you anymore. Don't come home crying if you get bullied here."
After saying that, he turned around and dashed up the mountain.
A few days ago, he was learning to carve an extremely complex array when he suddenly received a letter from his mother, urging him to come home immediately.
Perhaps because General Mo was still serving in the imperial court and didn't have much time for cultivation, Madam Mo and Old Madam Mo didn't often stay at the Lingxian Sect to cultivate either, spending half their time in the capital.
So it was not uncommon for Mo Yuanjiao to be asked to go back occasionally, and Mo Yuanjiao did not think much of it.
However, unexpectedly, this time they wanted him to go back for a blind date...
Thinking of this, Mo Yuanjiao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He was currently cultivating immortality! Where would he find the time and energy to get married? His mother and grandmother always liked to worry about him. Sigh.
In his opinion, if his mother had focused all her energy on cultivation, things would have been so much better. Instead, three years had passed and she was only at the Qi Refining Second Layer!
Mo Yuanjiao couldn't understand it at all.
What's the point of getting married? From then on, you'll have to take care of a girl by your side all the time. Girls are the most difficult to deal with. If you're not careful, you might offend her and she'll burst into tears, looking pitiful. But the more you try to comfort her, the more she cries. No matter what you do, it's wrong.
Moreover, getting married means having children, Mo Yuanjiao to forget about it. He was already several hundred years old; why would he need children?
Besides, cultivation is such a fun thing! Now that he's reached the Golden Core Middle Stage, he's having a blast playing with all sorts of Law Technique every day. Why would anyone want to get married and create trouble for themselves?
Mo Yuanjiao was worried about the marriage his mother had arranged for him in the Formation Hall.
Meanwhile, Old Master Lin was also worried about Lin Yun's marriage.
Last year, Lin Lei, the eldest grandson of the Lin Household, met a girl from Songyang County while on a mission outside the sect. At that time, because he was thinking of going to the fields for convenience, he was wearing his old clothes instead of the sect's uniform. The girl did not know Lin Lei's identity and only thought that he was a hanger-on who came with the government.
The young woman was in charge of cooking for the officials who went to Songyang County, and the two of them got to know each other after a few visits.
This girl is very straightforward, hardworking, efficient, and has a clear understanding of things.
Lin Lei turned nineteen last year, and as is typical of young people, he developed feelings for someone.
He was a straightforward person; once he had something on his mind, he found an opportunity to tell the other person what he felt.
The good news is that the girl also thought Lin Lei was a good match, so Lin Lei happily went home after completing the mission and asked his family to come and propose marriage.
When discussing marriage, although both families need to be honest with each other, Eldest Uncle Lin was worried that the other family might not dare to refuse because of his identity as a member of the Lingxian Sect, which would be unpleasant. Therefore, they only said that they were from Xiushui Village.
After all, outsiders may know that there is a Lingxian Sect in Xiushui Village, but they don't know which members of the Lingxian Sect are on opposing sides.
Only after the two families reached an agreement and the marriage was officially settled did Eldest Uncle Lin reluctantly inform his future in-laws about his family's situation. Of course, this was also because he had observed the girl's family for some time and felt that they were not gossipy or meddlesome.
Only then did the girl realize that the young man who had taken a liking to her daughter and his family were actually the legendary immortals of the Lingxian Sect!
This left them feeling both happy and bewildered.
However, the Lin Household specifically instructed them not to publicize the matter and told them a lot about the harm that would cause their family if the matter were to get out, so they kept it very secret.
They were afraid that if word got out, their daughter's wonderful marriage would fall through.
After discussing the matter, both parties set the wedding date for November of this year.
It's currently the height of summer, and Lin Lei's wedding is still some time away.
Therefore, even now, few people know that an immortal from the Lingxian Sect is about to get married.
With his eldest grandson's marriage settled, Old Master Lin, who had been happily cultivating his skills and farming for the past few years, suddenly remembered his second Lin Yun.
Lin Lei is twenty years old this year, and Lin Yun is only one year younger than him, also nineteen. However, they are still unmarried. Old Master Lin feels that he has been so busy farming that he has forgotten about his grandson.
The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel.
But then he thought again, wasn't Lin Lei's marriage also arranged by his parents? It's understandable that he, as the grandfather, forgot. It's Lin Yun's father's fault for not even caring about his son's lifelong happiness!
Thinking about it, he got up, dusted himself off, picked up the hoe beside him, and went to find Lin Dayou cause trouble.
