Fu Yanzhu put down the test report and looked at Feng Xuan uncertainly.

"Senior, are you joking?!"

Feng Xuan smiled slightly and asked in return.

Do you think I'm joking?!

"Although I look young, I'm actually not young anymore; I'm fifty this year!"

"Fifty?!"

Fu Yanzhu's eyes widened again as she looked at the man's face, which appeared to be in his early thirties, and gave him an awkward smile.

You take such good care of yourself!

Feng Xuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of smugness in her eyes.

"This is mainly thanks to the witchcraft I learned; once you reach a certain level, it can prolong your life!"

Fu Yanzhu lowered her head and tightened her grip on the test report!

I thought we could get engaged smoothly, but unexpectedly, a jeopardy figure appeared out of nowhere!

When she looked up again, Fu Yanzhu revealed a gentle smile and adopted a very humble posture.

"Uncle, what are your opinions on my marriage to Manman?"

Feng Xuan leaned back in her chair, abandoning her nonchalant attitude and becoming serious!

"Fu Yanzhu, based on my recent observations, you and Manman are a good match!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Yanzhu smiled genuinely, but dared not truly relax!

"Thank you for your approval, Uncle! May I ask what your requirements are?"

Feng Xuan gave him an approving look and smiled with satisfaction.

"I just love talking to smart people!"

"Wait! Before I make my request, let me tell you a story from the past!"

Fu Yanzhu was taken aback, clenched her fists tightly, and felt an ominous premonition rising in her heart!

"Please speak!"

Su Manman had made enough of a scene and slumped onto the living room sofa. Since she couldn't go out anyway, she could only stare blankly at the two chatting.

Feng Xuan tapped her long fingers on the table, remained silent for a while, seemingly lost in some memory, and then spoke slowly.

"The Chu family and the Feng family are ancient witchcraft families in the Valley Kingdom. Three hundred years ago, a traitor appeared in the family and they quickly declined. The traitor stole a part of the witchcraft inheritance - the Light of Dark Night - and established the Dark Night Organization!"

"The Dark Night Organization commits all sorts of evil deeds, specializing in using the Dark Night Light to persecute people! The Dark Night Light is listed as a forbidden art, and its methods are extremely cruel! Orthodox wizards should not practice it unless absolutely necessary!"

"Later, the descendants of both families found the Moonstone, destroyed the Dark Night Organization, and took away the Light of Dark Night!"

"More than a hundred years ago, the remnants of the Dark Night rose up and traced their origins to the descendants of the Chu and Feng families. In order to find the Light of Dark Night, their leader, Dark Night, killed them all!"

"Your mother, Lu Ling, was adopted by the Lu family. Her original name was Chu Ling, and she was a descendant of the Chu family. I am a descendant of the Feng family!"

"The Chu family and the Feng family jointly preserve the secret manual of witchcraft. The manual is divided into two parts: one is the orthodox witchcraft, Xuan Ye, and the other is the forbidden technique, the Light of Dark Night!"

“When we were on the run, I was older than Lu Ling, and all the books were kept here for safekeeping. After we were separated, your mother was adopted. I gave up the Dark Light to save my own life!”

"I practiced witchcraft with all my might to avenge the massacre of my family. Later, I killed the leader, Dark Night, and became the new leader!"

"The rule of the Dark Night Organization is that whoever becomes the leader must take the name Dark Night!"

After saying this, Feng Xuan stopped talking. He and Fu Yanzhu sat facing each other, falling into an eerie silence.

Upon hearing this, Su Manman became restless and paced back and forth.

[Holy crap, Feng Xuan is Dark Night! But Fu Yanzhu has always hated the Dark Night organization! He's been working hard to gather information and wipe them out!]

[What the heck! This is too dramatic! Feng Xuan is still my dad, and Fu Yanzhu and I are getting engaged!!]

Su Manman gently patted her cheeks with both hands, trying to clear her mind.

I must be dreaming! Wake up!

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

Seeing that it was no use, Su Manman had to face reality!

[Oh no, Fu Yanzhu and I really are Romeo and Juliet now!]

Although Feng Xuan isn't an enemy of the Chu family, it's a fact that the Dark Night Organization wiped out the entire Chu clan! What exactly is Feng Xuan trying to do?!

Su Manman grabbed her hair, her eyes wide open, staring intently at Feng Xuan!

After a long silence, Fu Yanzhu slowly spoke.

"Uncle, why don't you tell me your terms?"

Feng Xuan sat up straight and looked at Fu Yanzhu.

“I only have one child, and I don’t want her to be exposed to too much darkness, so her husband will be the one I chose!”

"I want you to join the Dark Night Organization and become its next leader!"

Fu Yanzhu clenched her fists and stood up abruptly.

"impossible!"

"Ever since my mother was poisoned, I have been investigating Dark Night. I despise Dark Night! I will never join them!"

Feng Xuan: "I know you have a group of people around you who are children who have been persecuted by the Dark Night. They can be a great help to you!"

"Smack!"

Fu Yanzhu slammed his fist on the table, interrupting Feng Xuan.

"Since you know they were all persecuted by the Dark Night, how can you say such things?!"

"I will not join the Night Elf!"

After Fu Yanzhu finished speaking, he turned and left, and Feng Xuan's lazy voice sounded behind him.

"You're leaving already? Aren't you going to discuss your marriage with Manman anymore?!"

Fu Yanzhu paused for a moment, then continued walking.

"That's our business, it's none of your concern!"

Watching Fu Yanzhu's departing figure, Su Manman felt a little sad.

What a mess this is!!

After Fu Yanzhu left, Feng Xuan snapped her fingers, and the dark blue barrier instantly disappeared!

Su Manman stormed up to Feng Xuan, crossed her arms, and glared at him angrily!
