Lou Munan revealed a hint of disappointment at just the right moment. Having lived for trillions of years, he had long seen through Lu Xiuwen's intentions.
Wei Linglong's smile faded slightly. In her eyes, her son was perfect in every way, and there was no woman he couldn't be worthy of. How could he refuse and even want to marry his daughter to the Immortal Emperor?
Xu Yunzhou's smile remained unchanged: "Brother Lu, I understand that you're reluctant to see your daughter marry so early. The marriage can be arranged first! Isn't your eighth young lady engaged to the third son of the Gu family?"
"Since the younger sister is engaged, shouldn't the older sister's marriage be settled as well? Ayao and my Fengzhi traveled together in the secret realm and went through life and death together. These two children are in love. Why doesn't Brother Lu grant them their wish?"
Just as Lu Xiuwen was trying to find a tactful way to refuse, Lu Xuening's maid rushed to the entrance of the main hall in a panic, then rushed in, knelt down as soon as she entered, and cried out loudly, "Master, Madam, please save our young lady! Seventh Miss, she's trying to kill our young lady."
"What?" Xu Lianxin stood up.
Lu Xiuwen's expression changed drastically, Xu Yunzhou and Wei Linglong looked puzzled, but Lou Munan seemed to know everything.
Xu Lianxin released her divine sense to confirm Lu Xuening's location, then transformed into a long rainbow and flew outwards. Lu Xiuwen, Xu Yunzhou, and Wei Linglong followed, followed by Lou Munan.

Before an incense stick had burned.
Inside a floating covered bridge, Lu Xuening walked in front, followed by two maids, four guards, and a short, stout man in a blue robe.
The short, stout man appeared to be close to thirty-five. He was ugly, with a pockmarked face covered in thick layers of fat. His large, beady eyes were cloudy, and his skin was rough and sallow. He looked coarse and dull. Although he wore fine clothes, even the most luxurious attire could not conceal his unattractive appearance.
This person was Duan Yong, the eldest son of the leader of the Lieyang Sect.
Lu Xuening was furious that A Yao had taken away her Purple Peak. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was so angry that she couldn't sleep. After thinking it over and over, she finally came up with a way to annoy A Yao.
Hmph, Seventh Sister hasn't even met her fiancé yet, and she "kindly" brought Seventh Sister's fiancé along.
Duan Yong walked beside Lu Xuening, his beady green eyes constantly glancing at her face, then moving his gaze to her chest and waist. Although he would quickly look away each time, Lu Xuening couldn't help but notice his constant peeking.
Disgusting! Perverted!
Lu Xuening felt nauseous, but the thought of this guy being paired with that bitch Lu Xueyao made her feel good! Only someone like him deserved Lu Xueyao.
"Seventh brother-in-law, why do you always stare at people like that? Once you look at Seventh Sister, won't you be unable to walk?" Lu Xuening laughed.
Duan Yong saw Lu Xuening smile at him, her beautiful face surpassing all the concubines in his household, and his heart itched. He had never seen the supposedly stunning seventh young lady. If this younger sister was so beautiful, how beautiful must the older sister be? Who didn't know about the seventh young lady of the Lu family now?
At the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm at the age of nineteen, he is a genius among geniuses. This time, he saved tens of thousands of elite disciples from various forces in the Burial Dragon Mountain Secret Realm. He had been to that secret realm before, but he came out early, so he did not experience the danger of the secret realm collapsing.
Everyone says that the Seventh Miss is a fairy descended from heaven. How could such a fairy become his Daoist partner? If it weren't for the eldest young master saying it himself, he really wouldn't believe it. In fact, he still doesn't quite dare to believe it now.
"Eighth Miss, is Madam Lu really going to betroth the Seventh Miss to me?" Duan Yong asked.
Would such a favored woman really be given to him?
“How could it be fake? Seventh brother-in-law, don’t underestimate yourself. Although many people have proposed to Seventh Sister, Mother doesn’t like those with ulterior motives. She only likes honest men. You look honest, brother-in-law.” Lu Xuening said with a smile.
Duan Yong actually believed her after she said that.
"I...I'm the most honest person ever," Duan Yong said, overjoyed. He felt like a lucky charm, as if a pie had fallen from the sky and landed on him. His mind wandered, and he couldn't help but chuckle lewdly. But as he laughed, his face looked even uglier.
Lu Xuening looked away, feeling nauseous.
Pooh!
What an honest person.
A streak of light flew from afar and transformed into a maid in green. The maid said to Lu Xuening, "Miss, the Seventh Miss is currently at the martial arts training ground on West Emperor Peak."
"I see."
After Lu Xuening finished speaking, she smiled at Duan Yong and said, "Brother-in-law, over here!"
As he spoke, he flew towards the sea of clouds, and Duan Yong immediately followed, eager to get started.
Lu Xuening led Duan Yong to the Xihuang Peak martial arts arena, where they found a large crowd gathered. It turned out that A Yao was sparring with her clansmen. Wielding the Jing Shuang Sword, A Yao was fighting five Nascent Soul stage clansmen single-handedly without being at a disadvantage.
"See that? That one in the purple gauze dress is my seventh sister," Lu Xuening said to Duan Yong.
Duan Yong was immediately captivated by the sight of the purple-clad girl in the arena. Her skin was as smooth as jade, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white. She was radiant and had an otherworldly beauty.
He had never seen such a beauty before. Such a beauty, and an unparalleled genius at that, was actually his Daoist partner. Just thinking about cultivating with such a beauty made his whole body heat up. He swallowed, his lecherous look completely exposed.
Lu Xuening was filled with malice. Seeing that A Yao had just finished her fight, she said to Duan Yong, "Let's go! Say hello to Seventh Sister!"
"Seventh Miss is amazing! She can take on five opponents so easily!"
"What's so surprising? She held her own against Senior Brother Lu Yin before!"
As everyone was marveling, they suddenly heard a soft, delicate voice:
"Seventh Sister—"
Everyone in the training ground looked towards the source of the sound and saw Lu Xuening leading Duan Yongfei to A Yao's side. A Yao looked coldly at Lu Xuening, who smiled and said:
"Seventh Sister, look who I brought! This is your future brother-in-law, you haven't met him yet, have you?"
Seventh brother-in-law?
What does that mean?
All eyes fell on Duan Yong. Most of the Lu family were unaware that Xu Lianxin had agreed to marry A Yao to the eldest son of the Lieyang Sect. Although the news had spread within the secret realm, the subsequent collapse of the realm shifted everyone's focus, and no one mentioned it again.
Who is this guy?
Some people don't recognize Duan Yong; they only see him as a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, looking sleazy and ugly.
Some recognized him, thinking to themselves, "Isn't this Duan Yong from the Lieyang Sect? What's he doing here?"
What future brother-in-law of the seventh sister?
"Seventh brother-in-law, please say hello to seventh sister," Lu Xuening said softly.
Duan Yong stared at A Yao with a lecherous look that disgusted Lu Xuening, Lu Xueling, Lu Qingqing, and the others around him. He clasped his hands in greeting to A Yao and said, "Greetings, Miss Seven. I am Duan Yong from the Lieyang Sect, and I will be your future Daoist partner."
What?
Is this guy crazy?
You're insane!
Lu Xueya burst into laughter: "Where did this madman come from?"
