night--
The dining table was filled with more than ten dishes.
Huo Yuxi enthusiastically picked up some food for Lu Jingzhi.
Yan Yao saw this and felt even worse.
He couldn't help but ask, "Yuxi, why are you so interested in cooking today?"
Huo Yuxi smiled, with a hint of teasing in her tone: "Why, are you unhappy that I'm cooking?"
Yan Yao quickly waved his hands: "I'm not unhappy, I just feel a little surprised."
Huo Yuxi glanced at him, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and then she put down her chopsticks.
"Actually, there's something I haven't told you."
Yan Yao was stunned: "What's the matter?"
Huo Yuxi pointed at Lu Jingzhi and said calmly, "He is my daughter's fiancé, Lu Jingzhi."
When Yan Yao heard this, the chopsticks in his hand almost fell to the ground.
He widened his eyes, looked at Lu Jingzhi wearing a mask, and then looked at Huo Yuxi.
I was unable to react for a moment.
"You...what did you say?"
Huo Yuxi smiled slightly and repeated, "He is Yan An's fiancé and our son-in-law."
Yan Yao's expression instantly became complicated.
He first breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had seen Lu Jingzhi's strength and character. It was a good thing for his daughter to marry such a man.
But then, his face darkened again, and an inexplicable sourness surged in his heart.
"I see……"
Yan Yao murmured softly, then his face turned stern, his tone filled with dissatisfaction, "So, my daughter was taken away by him?"
When Lu Jingzhi heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained.
"Senior Yan, I am sincere to Yan An and have absolutely no intention of disrespecting him."
Yan Yao snorted coldly, his tone carrying a hint of sourness. "Hmph, are you sincere? My daughter is my sweetheart, and you kidnapped her like that. How can I feel good about it?"
Seeing this, Huo Yuxi couldn't help laughing: "Okay, old man, stop making such a stinky face."
"Jingzhi is a good kid. Yan An won't suffer any loss if he follows him."
Yan Yao glared at Huo Yuxi and muttered in a low voice, "You're quite protective of him."
Huo Yuxi didn't care. She picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Lu Jingzhi's bowl, saying with a smile.
"Jingzhi, ignore him and eat more. I made this especially for you. Try it and see how it tastes."
Lu Jingzhi quickly took off his mask, revealing a flattered expression, "Thank you, senior. It tastes great."
"Hmm? Calling you senior again?"
Lu Jingzhi scratched his head, "Dad, Mom."
"Well, eat more."
After saying that, Huo Yuxi enthusiastically picked up a few pieces of meat for him and put them in his bowl.
Yan Yao felt even worse when he saw this scene.
He put down his wine glass, his tone a little sour: "Yuxi, when have you ever been so enthusiastic towards me?"
Huo Yuxi rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile, "Why, are you still jealous?"
"Jingzhi is our future son-in-law, what's wrong with me being nice to him?"
Yan Yao was choked and speechless, and could only drink in silence.
Seeing this, Lu Jingzhi quickly picked up the wine glass and said respectfully, "Dad, I toast you."
Yan Yao glanced at him and reluctantly picked up the wine glass.
I clinked glasses with him and drank it all in one gulp.
The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually relaxed, and Huo Yuxi took the opportunity to say, "Old man, Jing Zhi helped us a lot this time. Not only did he repel the evil soul tribe, but he also saved Yan An."
"But he is a great contributor to our family."
Yan Yao sighed, his tone filled with helplessness: "I know he's a good person, but when I think about how Yan An was kidnapped by him."
"I feel so upset."
Huo Yuxi smiled and said, "Okay, my daughter will eventually get married."
"I think Jingzhi is a good kid. I feel relieved if Yan An follows him."
Yan Yao was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Forget it, since you all said so, I won't say much."
"However, Jingzhi, you must treat my daughter well. If she suffers any injustice, I will not forgive you."
Lu Jingzhi nodded solemnly: "Dad, don't worry, I will never let Yan An suffer any injustice."
Yan Yao nodded in satisfaction, and the expression on his face eased a lot.
After dinner, Huo Yuxi took Lu Jingzhi for a walk in the yard.
Yan Yaoze sat in the living room, looking at the backs of the two people, feeling mixed emotions.
He murmured to himself, "Alas, my daughter has grown up and will leave eventually."
Huo Yuxi brought Lu Jingzhi to a pavilion, and they sat down.
"Are you really going to the Sanctuary Center?"
"It's much better there than here."
Lu Jingzhi nodded seriously, "Of course, if you want to take the next step, you have to go."
Huo Yuxi nodded with satisfaction, then looked up at the night sky and said softly, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early too.
Lu Jingzhi smiled and nodded, "Okay, Mom, you should get some rest early too."
After the two parted, Lu Jingzhi returned to the guest room.
He lay on the bed, Yan An's smiling face appeared in his mind, and his heart was filled with warmth.
Soul Locking Tower——
Ku Gu carried the injured Black and White Soul into the tower.
The White Soul's face was gloomy, "This matter must be reported to the Soul Elder."
"Let them come and avenge us. This person must be eliminated."
"Otherwise, it would be a huge threat to our clan."
The Dark Soul beside him nodded in agreement, "You are right."
Then, he looked at Ku Gu and ordered, "Go to the center of the Holy Land and invite Soul Master over."
