Chen Ye’s sudden appearance surprised Feng Shao and also made him a little wary.

Chen Ye's name is just Ye Chen's name reversed, and you can tell he is a child of destiny. Plus the cloud of destiny on his head that is dark purple with golden patterns, it's obvious that this guy is also a favorite of heaven.

Feng Shao always adhered to the principle of "I will not offend others if they do not offend me" when it came to the son of destiny. But this guy seemed to have taken a fancy to his fiancée, which was intolerable.

Feng Shao has always been generous, but not to this extent.

Lin Xiaoran was still a little childish, and didn't realize how special Chen Ye was. She just thought that this young man could suddenly help her and Shao Yunqing deal with the blue-veined snow wolf. Although he lacked strength, he had a rare chivalrous heart. Influenced by her father and Feng Shao, Lin Xiaoran always had a good impression of people with chivalrous hearts, but she never thought that they would encounter the blue-veined snow wolf, which was caused by this young man.

Feng Shao felt that something was fishy, ​​but he didn't say much. He just told Lin Xiaoran to be more careful in the future.

Because of this little episode, Feng Shao ended the day's clearing operation against the monsters in the dense forest ahead of schedule.

However, in the following few days, Feng Shao still arranged several teams to continuously clear out the monsters, but reminded everyone not to go too deep into the dense forest to avoid encountering monsters that were too powerful and unable to escape.

For Feng Shao's fellow disciples, clearing out monsters can serve as a good exercise and avoid the problem of only being able to talk big but lacking the ability to actually fight.

After a few days, Gao Yi, Cao Guang and others had made great progress in their strength, and the others also had some insights into cultivation. Although some injuries were inevitable in the process of clearing out the monsters, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages overall. Therefore, the clearing operation was fixed as a long-term task, and all the gains in the process belonged to him personally.

In this way, everyone's enthusiasm is very high and the efficiency of clearing out monsters has been greatly improved.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Half a month later, Yunjian Pavilion announced two major events.

The first thing was the official completion of Langhuan Pavilion, and Lin Fengtian held a large-scale celebration ceremony for it. However, Lin Fengtian concealed the fact that Feng Shao took out 130,000 volumes of ancient books as a betrothal gift, and only said that Feng Shao provided three volumes of ancient books. Although this number is far from the actual number, it can protect Feng Shao. After all, if others knew about this, I am afraid that many people would dare to take all risks to kidnap Feng Shao.

The second thing was that Lin Fengtian officially announced the engagement between Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran.

This incident was a bolt from the blue for many major forces and sects in Dongzhou. Everyone knew that Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao only had one daughter, Lin Xiaoran, and marrying Lin Xiaoran was equivalent to indirectly obtaining the right to inherit Yunjian Pavilion. When Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao "retired" in the future, Lin Xiaoran and her husband could legitimately inherit the huge family business of Yunjian Pavilion, which was an irresistible temptation for almost everyone.

So since Lin Xiaoran just reached the age of 18, people have come to propose marriage from time to time, but without exception, Lin Fengtian politely declined all of them. The reason given by Lin Fengtian to the outside world was that Lin Xiaoran was still young and not suitable for marriage. But in fact, Lin Xiaoran had already been promised to Feng Shao.

However, this marriage has been kept secret, so Feng Shao was not disturbed by the outside world. Now Lin Xiaoran has reached the age of marriage and can be betrothed. Seeing that more and more people came to propose marriage, Lin Fengtian decided not to keep it secret anymore.

Many people were extremely shocked when they first heard the news. They were first shocked that Lin Fengtian had quietly promised his daughter to someone else, and then they were shocked at who this unknown Feng Shao was.

Although Feng Shao was once the Holy Son of Taiwei Sect, Taiwei Sect was not well-known after all, so Feng Shao naturally became a nobody in the eyes of many people. It was only after many people made inquiries that they finally got to know Feng Shao to a certain extent.

However, after finding out Feng Shao's identity, many leaders of major sects and forces became angry.

How could such an unknown person become the son-in-law of Yunjian Pavilion? Then, can my holy son/biological son not be the son-in-law of Yunjian Pavilion?

As for the three ancient books given as gifts?

That's even more unnecessary! In the entire Dongzhou, apart from Yunjian Pavilion, which of the major powers that are ranked high does not have ancient books? At least there are five or six. If three ancient books can be exchanged for the entire Yunjian Pavilion, no one will miss such a good deal!

For a time, the whole Dongzhou was full of different opinions. Feng Shao, who was almost unknown before, became the most mentioned name by many major forces overnight. Many people were curious about whether Feng Shao had three heads and six arms or mastered some magical power to become the son-in-law of Yunjian Pavilion so easily.

Most people were still relatively rational after the discussion. After all, Yunjian Pavilion was also a big force. Although its foundation was a little shallow, even if we didn't mention Lin Fengtian, there were few people who could beat Xiao Ruoyao and Leng Lingyue. Yunjian Pavilion naturally had the right to decide who their daughter would marry, and others had no right to ask, nor did they dare to ask. So most people just expressed their incomprehension at most, and then nothing happened.

But some people have other ideas.

How beautiful Lin Xiaoran is is still mostly just a rumor. But no matter whether the rumor is true or not, just looking at Xiao Ruoyao's appearance, you can tell that she is not ugly. Moreover, Lin Xiaoran is about to enter the Golden Core Realm at a young age. Obviously, she has excellent qualifications and it is only a matter of time before she is promoted to the Tribulation Crossing Stage. For such a girl who is the best in both appearance and qualifications, many people will naturally have some thoughts in their hearts.

If it was a holy son from a holy land or a big power who married Lin Xiaoran, it would be fine, and they could accept it psychologically. But what qualifications did Feng Shao, a nobody, have to compete with them for this proud daughter of heaven?

What? You said Yunjian Pavilion has already made the decision?

Oh! They haven't gotten married yet! As long as the groom "disappears" in a very reasonable way before the wedding, Yunjian Pavilion will naturally choose another son-in-law.

At that moment, many people began to privately consider which method would be more reasonable and acceptable to the Yunjian Pavilion.

Among those who covet Lin Xiaoran and Yunjian Pavilion, there is one person who is very special.

He didn't have a distinguished background, a powerful backer, a rich family, or outstanding strength, but he firmly believed that Lin Xiaoran belonged to him. And his proof was that he had not only met Lin Xiaoran, but Lin Xiaoran had also smiled at him!

In his opinion, that smile was equivalent to mutual affection!

Chen Ye is the only son of Chen Qi, the head of the Chen family, a second-rate family in Zhongshan City. This child has been gifted since childhood and has shown extraordinary aptitude for cultivation. He entered the innate realm at the age of twelve and became a well-known child prodigy.

However, when he was fifteen years old, he suddenly lost all his cultivation and became a mortal overnight.

As long as it didn't happen to him, many people would be happy to see the favored son of heaven fall from grace overnight. However, Chen Ye, who had lost all his cultivation and could not find the cause, naturally went from being the center of attention to being a pariah. Wherever he went, he was always met with sarcasm and ridicule, even at home.

Because of this incident, Chen Ye was really depressed for a while.

Originally, Chen Ye had a fiancée, and his fiancée was Huang Fengqing, one of the famous "Five Beauties of Tianyun" in Tianyun Lingyin Pavilion. Huang Fengqing was from the Huang family in Qingtan City. The Huang family and the Chen family had a long history and were related by marriage for generations, so they arranged a marriage for Huang Fengqing and Chen Ye early on. They would be married when Huang Fengqing turned 18.

But five years ago, the twelve-year-old Huang Fengqing was favored by Shang Feixian, the head of Tianyun Lingyin Pavilion, who was passing through Qingtan City, and was accepted as a disciple. Huang Fengqing was also very motivated. At a young age, he practiced the "Twelve Musics of Tianyun" to the seventh level, second only to Youtong, the harp master, and Feng Mingyan, the flute master. Therefore, he was valued by Shang Feixian and was appointed as the flute master.

In the past, Shang Feixian was as famous as Xiao Ruoyao, Leng Lingyue and others, and was listed as one of the "Seven Fairies", with the name "Fairy Lingyin". Tianyun Lingyin Pavilion is a well-known sect in Dongzhou that uses music to enter the Tao. Its unique practice method "Twelve Spectras of Tianyun" is also famous throughout the world. Although its strength is not as strong as that of the super-first-class forces such as Yunjian Pavilion, it is also a powerful sect in Dongzhou that cannot be underestimated.

With such a powerful backer and background, Huang Fengqing naturally looked down on her fiancé whom she had never met. Especially after hearing that Chen Ye's cultivation was completely lost overnight, Huang Fengqing didn't want to fulfill the marriage contract.

So Huang Fengqing begged Shang Feixian earnestly, and finally succeeded in moving Shang Feixian. They went to Chen's house in Zhongshan City together, intending to cancel the engagement.

After arriving at the Chen family, Huang Fengqing first discussed the matter of breaking off the engagement with the Chen family in a friendly manner. In order to successfully break off the engagement, Huang Fengqing even asked Shang Feixian to advance his salary for the next three years and exchanged it for a large number of herbal instruments as compensation for breaking off the engagement.

But when Chen Ye learned about this, he immediately rushed out from the back hall. He first pointed at Huang Fengqing and scolded him, then pointed at Shang Feixian and shouted: "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't look down on the poor young man!"

After all, Shang Feixian and Huang Fengqing entered the Tao through music, and their cultivation was much better than that of ordinary people. But even so, they couldn't help but feel a little annoyed after hearing Chen Ye's unceremonious scolding. Shang Feixian was fine, she respected her status and didn't want to argue with the younger generation. But Huang Fengqing couldn't help it and quarreled with Chen Ye.

The result of the quarrel was that the two made a three-year agreement. After three years, the two would compete on the Listening Wind Platform of Tianyun Lingyin Pavilion!
