After returning to her residence, Dongfang Mian originally planned to rest for ten days to prepare for the finals, but unexpectedly, someone came to her door the very next day.
The visitor was none other than the second elder of the Ren family, who was exceptionally enthusiastic when he saw Dongfang Mian.
"Just say what you want to say. It's uncomfortable for you to look at me like this at your age," Dongfang Mian couldn't help but say.
"Master Dongfang, it's like this. A couple of days ago, after you participated in the preliminary round, our Ren family's young master went back and praised you highly. He said that your alchemy skills were unheard of and were an eye-opener. He also said that Master Dongfang, you are not only outstanding in appearance but also have extraordinary strength at such a young age..." The second elder of the Ren family praised without hesitation.
Dongfang Mian quickly stopped his endless praise, "Please get to the point. I'm also very busy, and I don't have much time."
“Our Ren family would like to ask you for your hand in marriage on behalf of our young master,” the Second Elder said straightforwardly.
Dongfang Mian almost choked on her own saliva, and looked at the Second Elder and said, "Your Ren family really went all out."
"Hey, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub... That's not what I meant. What I meant was that your alchemy skills are a perfect match for our young master," the Second Elder said.
"Have you no shame at all..." Yan Lin couldn't sit still any longer, but A Ju covered her mouth, her eyes shining as she waited to see a good show.
"Ahem," the Second Elder said, his face flushing slightly. "We are not coveting your alchemy techniques. It is our young master who is attracted to you."
"Isn't your young master going to marry Meng Nianxi soon?" Dongfang Mian asked.
The Second Elder laughed and said, "With our young master's status, how could he possibly have only one woman by his side? To tell you the truth, his relationship with the Meng family is for the sake of the entire family's future. But you are different. I believe you will definitely be attracted to our young master."
"You mean you want me to be a concubine?" Dongfang Mian asked.
"If you can help the Ren family make great breakthroughs in alchemy in the future, it's not certain who will become your concubine," the Second Elder said meaningfully.
“Ohhhhhhh,” Dongfang Mian said in a tone that said, “I understand.” “Please allow me to think about it.”
"Of course, no problem. Let me know when you've made up your mind, and I'll send someone to propose marriage immediately. Don't worry, the Ren family won't treat you unfairly," the Second Elder said before leaving.
Ah Ju then released Yan Lin, who had almost suffocated. The latter, disregarding his anger towards Ah Ju, grabbed Dongfang Mian and asked, "Are you really going to the Ren family?"
“This seems like a faster way to infiltrate the Ren family and find out about the artifact fragments,” Dongfang Mian said deliberately.
"Hmph, you haven't learned anything good from that guy Hua Qianxun, you've only picked up a lot of bad ideas," Yan Lin said angrily as he watched Dongfang Mian deliberately teasing him.
"They're insulting you, can't you tell?" Yan Lin said.
"Why are you angry when I'm not even angry?" Dongfang Mian asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I..." Yan Lin opened his mouth but couldn't say why. A sharp pain shot through his mind. This damn injury! If his strength and memory hadn't been greatly damaged, he definitely wouldn't have put up with this woman's temper.
"Mother, please stop arguing," Ahua said worriedly.
"Ahua, don't worry, they're not arguing," Aju quickly reassured her.
"What are they doing?" Ahua asked, looking completely bewildered.
"This is called flirting. You don't understand. This is an adult matter, so kids shouldn't pry," Ah Ju said in a loud voice.
Dongfang Mian and Yan Lin blushed instantly, staring at each other speechlessly. Dongfang Mian couldn't help but wonder what Yan Lin would think when he regained his memories.
