Chapter 1747: Chapter 938: Return to Biyao
Lin Feng saw the village chief being so cautious, he grinned and started drinking with everyone.
At this moment, the old father came and said to Lin Feng, "Hero Lin, you are now the benefactor of our entire village, saving the lives of so many villagers who went to the city for fun. I don’t have much to give you from my home, so in front of the village chief, I offer my daughter to you, hero, please don’t mind..." The old man was being polite, for his daughter was one of the most sought after in the entire village. All the young men hoped to marry her, and recently even the matchmaker from the neighboring village had come. The old man did not agree, saying that marriage was a major life event that needed careful consideration.
Actually, it wasn’t that the old man didn’t want to marry off his daughter; it was that his daughter couldn’t bear to leave him, as the old man was weak and sickly and needed care. Ancient customs didn’t call for taking the father along when marrying off a daughter, so she was reluctant to get married.
Now that Lin Feng had come and brought back a Ninth Grade Treasure Pill to heal him, the old man could finally feel at ease convincing his daughter to marry Lin Feng.
In fact, during the lantern festival in Liuzhou yesterday, the young woman had already shown a hint of affection for Lin Feng.
But Lin Feng already had a marriage agreement with Su Liqian, although she was currently missing. To betray and abandon her was something he couldn’t do, even though in ancient times it was common for men to have multiple wives.
Lin Feng didn’t know how to decline the old man’s kind offer, fearing he would hurt the young woman’s feelings.
After all, in front of the whole village, Lin Feng couldn’t embarrass their family, so he said to the old man, "To be honest, I already have a wife. Although it’s not uncommon for men to have multiple wives, I love my wife dearly."
"You already have a wife?" the young woman looked at Lin Feng with some confusion and disappointment.
Lin Feng nodded at the young woman, who blushed slightly.
The old man, however, generously said, "For a man to have multiple wives is no big deal, so why refuse? I’m getting old and just want to entrust my daughter to a reliable person, so marry her, and I can have peace of mind."
Lin Feng didn’t know how to explain this, but the young woman stepped forward to help him out, saying, "Brother Lin, my father speaks without thinking, please don’t mind him."
It might have been better if she hadn’t spoken, as her words embarrassed their family even more in the village.
The village chief said, "If he doesn’t want to marry your daughter, then let it be; why insist?" The village chief’s tone was clearly somewhat disdainful. Seeing the young woman’s family so troubled, Lin Feng sighed and said to the village chief and everyone, "Fine, I’ll agree to the marriage with your daughter."
The old man jumped for joy, saying loudly, "Ah, my daughter finally has a good home!"
Everyone present looked on with envy; Lin Feng’s agreement to the marriage helped their family maintain face in the village.
Lin Feng said to the old man, "This marriage is a matter between father and daughter, so I will go home and see my parents first, then come back for the wedding." Lin Feng’s words were meant to be a polite refusal, as he was in a difficult position and had no better solution.
However, the old man was a bit uneasy, afraid Lin Feng would leave just like that, so he said to Lin Feng, "Hero, you must keep your word. Why not take my daughter with you, as you’re a cultivator, it would be better than following an old man like me."
Lin Feng smiled and replied, "If I take her with me, who will take care of you?"
The old man, full of spirit, said to Lin Feng, "To be honest, I have another son."
The old man then called over his eldest son, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen and was quite handsome.
Lin Feng had no choice but to agree to the old man’s request, and the young woman, who had fallen for Lin Feng at first sight, followed him.
Lin Feng bid farewell to the village and then took the young woman to Biyao City.
Since the Illusion Sound Pavilion was in Biyao City, Lin Feng had to go there to connect with the Six Great Sects and contact Uncle Fatty.
Based on the information at the time, Lin Feng had gone through many hardships along the way, only to circle back to where he started.
This time, however, Lin Feng had gained something, as he had obtained the Inheritance Secret Treasure by chance, which could unblock the Supreme Power of the Ascension Realm.
Due to the sacrifice of the two Soul Devices, he eliminated the two monsters inside him and learned about the means of the black-clothed man. In any case, this trip was not in vain for Lin Feng.
But Biyao City was hundreds of miles from Liuzhou, so Lin Feng had to fly by sword to quicken his pace and avoid any trouble along the way.
Although Lin Feng was only at the level of the Four Spirits Seal, it was more than enough to protect the young woman.
The young woman clung to Lin Feng’s waist as they made their way intimately towards Biyao City.
Back at Star Fall Mountain, Lin Feng had heard that Biyao had fallen into the hands of the Yunzhou Marquis, likely cutting off communication with the Central State Court.
But Lin Feng was a cultivator and didn’t need to walk along the way, so who could cut off his travel? After a day’s sword flying, Lin Feng returned to the inn he had been in before.
At this moment, he and the young woman dressed anew; although they were not yet married, the young woman already considered Lin Feng as her husband in her heart.
