“This is just a proposal; there’s no need to force it on Friend Lan or Lady Yue Ning!”

There was a long silence in the tent after Xu Mu finished speaking.

What a fair lady; how fitting for a gentleman!

If he must establish a clan and marry, Xu Mu naturally hopes to find someone whom he knows thoroughly and approves of.

There is no need for him to be bashful about this!

If he lacked strength, his words would be a joke!

Lan Shijin wouldn’t even acknowledge him, she’d turn and leave right away.

They probably wouldn’t be friends anymore!

But now that he has shown enough strength.

What a match!

Men marry and women do too; it’s only natural!

Another reason is to prevent them from revealing his whereabouts to the Luo Family when they arrive at the Liyang sect, therefore, he had to take them in.

Otherwise, for his safety, he would have to kill them to keep them quiet.

In fact, from the time Lan Shijin asked for his help, the events were set in motion!

For the first time, Leng Yue Ning blushed, wringing her clothes in her hands like a shy little girl.

She actually had no ill feelings towards Xu Mu, even a bit of affection.

Especially when he resolutely refused the Chi Family for their sake.

But—

How could she muster the courage?

She usually interacts minimalistically, and she and Ye Yingying are extremely close , Little Ling’er even calls her “sister”.

Lan Shijin’s eyes twitched a few times.

Thinking to herself, this scoundrel indeed harboured ill intentions!

He was actually after her daughter!

But—

It’s not entirely out of the question!

Though she hoped her daughter could find someone better, Xu Mu wasn’t too bad.

Judging solely on his strength and income, Xu Mu was an exceptional choice. And judging by his character, he would never let Leng Yue Ning be mistreated. The only issue was his age.

In the future, it should be no problem for Leng Yue Ning to reach the Qi Cultivation Late Stage, even Foundation Establishment stage, but Xu Mu was already in his sixties, and his possibility of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage was slim.

In a few years, he could become frail and decrepit!

That is why she felt some resistance!

But Xu Mu has been good to them and usually treats them well, so she can’t just refuse outright.

Looking at her daughter, she seemed willing which gave Lan Shijin a headache.

She had taken such good care of her daughter that the latter had hardly come into any contact with men at all, most likely Xu Mu is the man she has had the most contact with.

It was only natural for feelings to develop after spending so much time together.

“Friend Xu, how confident are you in reaching Foundation Establishment?”

After a moment of silence, Lan Shijin suddenly asked.

“I dare not say it’s a hundred percent, but I am seventy to eighty percent confident!”

Because he possessed the system, he was confident about it.

Lan Shijin’s eyes suddenly lit up.

She didn’t expect him to have so much confidence.

Wasn’t this just the thing she needed!

“Friend Xu, you aren’t just bluffing, are you?”

Of course not!

“Then, how long do you think it will take you to make the breakthrough?”

“Within ten years!”

Even though Lan Shijin didn’t believe Xu Mu at first, she eventually revealed a joyful expression.

“In that case, let’s make a pact of ten years. If you can reach Foundation Establishment within ten years, I will give Ning’er to you, otherwise, I hope you won’t persist!”

After a moment of silence, Xu Mu said, “That’s not impossible! But this agreement seems to be a little unfair to me!”

If he was able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, he could have any woman he wanted.

It sounded like Lan Shijin was trying to find an exquisite backup for her daughter with empty promises.

“So, what do you think we should do?”

Lan Shijin knew that her agreement seemed a bit exploitative.

“How about this! If you sincerely want to marry Lady Yue Ning to me, let’s sign a marriage contract first. It will be symbolic and void if I fail to reach Foundation Establishment within ten years! You know my character; I definitely won’t take unfair advantage!”

Of course, if they willingly proposed, he wouldn’t resist.

Once the marriage contract was signed, they would be a family. If Lan Shijin leaked information to the Luo Family, she would be implicated as well.

This was the greatest concession Xu Mu could make!

“This is—”

Lan Shijin looked at her daughter.

Leng Yue Ning’s face was so red she seemed to be bleeding.

“Ning’er, what do you think?”

“Hmm!

Leng Yuening lowered her head; her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s hum.

Lan Shijin was irritated in her heart.

Why can’t she be a little more reserved!

Ah!

It’s hard to restrain a grown woman!

“Fine then!”

Xu Mu can be said to have saved their lives. Asking for a marriage contract was a small matter in comparison; they were still at an advantage.

“There’s another matter! Regarding my power, Friend Lan and Lady Yue Ning, you must not reveal it to anyone, or else it could bring big trouble!” Xu Mu urged solemnly.

The two nodded, assuming that Xu Mu was afraid of being accosted by Xiao Yi’s relatives and friends.

Afterwards, Xu Mu left the tent, borrowed pen and ink from Zhang Shouren for drawing talismans, and also some beast skin paper, quickly wrote up the marriage contract, both parties signed their names and pressed their fingerprints on it.

“From now on, this good match is made, tied together as a perfect pair. With the thread of fate already attached, we will grow old together. May we share in blessings and happiness, may we remain loyal until seas become mulberry fields. Carefully stating this pact.”

Looking at the content of the marriage contract, Leng Yuening’s heart beat fast again, and her face blushed.

Even though it was just a contract in name and had no real significance, let alone any binding force, Leng Yuening suddenly felt a connection with the other person, it was a rather strange feeling.

Just as the marriage contract was concluded, the system voice suddenly rang in Xu Mu’s mind, something he hadn’t expected.

[Achievement attained – Bliss of Everyone!]

[Bliss of Everyone: Luck Value increases by 20 points every day!]

[Luck Value: Can be used to increase skill proficiency, cannot directly enhance cultivation!]

“I had no idea it could be done like this!

Xu Mu was overjoyed in his heart, feeling like he had found a loophole in the system.

Seeing Xu Mu looking happy, Lan Shijin suddenly felt a little worried. This guy wasn’t trying to deceive me, was he? Just to have an excuse to make a move?

Should I resist?

Or should I comply?

Fortunately, Xu Mu didn’t turn into a beast in a flash. He simply bid her farewell and left, giving Lan Shijin quite a scare.

However, there was a small sense of loss in Leng Yuening’s heart.

Due to the events of last night, the group didn’t set off until almost noon, and they moved very slowly, and so they fell considerably behind the other groups.

The four at the Qi Cultivation Late Stage had now completely become scaredy-cats, afraid to even split up, fearing that Xu Mu would defeat them one by one.

If it weren’t for their friends and relatives in the group, they would have run off on their own a long time ago.

To increase their defensive power, they contacted the other groups and decided to camp together in the evening.

“Friend Su, are you alright?”

On the road, Xu Mu asked Su Qing, who seemed to be in a state of disarray.

After losing Xiao Yi’s protection, she had been forced to unite her own family with Xu Mu’s group for help on the road. However, she was clearly not in a good mood.

It couldn’t be helped, anyone who lost their husband would not be in a good mood.

However, more likely Su Qing was worried about the journey ahead.

Without Xiao Yi’s protection, it would be hard for her to reach the Liyang Sect by herself.

“I’m fine!

Su Qing forced a smile.

She did not sympathise much over Xiao Yi’s death, after all their relationship was merely an opportunist partnership.

At the time of Xiao Yi’s death, she even felt relieved, but faced with the journey ahead, she was inevitably worried again.

“If friend Su is worried about the journey ahead, why not follow us? I have some means to take care of Friend Su, it shouldn’t be a problem!”

When he killed Xiao Yi, Xu Mu had already considered this.

He had a good impression of Su Qing and naturally didn’t mind helping her out.

“Ah? Thank you for your kindness! I’ll figure out something myself, no need to bother you!”

Su Qing responded awkwardly with a laugh.

Xu Mu’s team was full of elderly, weak, and sick people— they had enough trouble taking care of themselves. How would they be able to take care of her?

His words were laughable!

Could this guy be interested in me?

His age doesn’t dampen his lust!

One isn’t enough for him?

Hmph!

I don’t have any interest in you!

She knew Xu Mu’s true age and also thought that Xu Mu was still in the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation.

In her eyes, apart from his Alchemy skills, Xu Mu didn’t meet her requirements in other aspects. She had no interest in such an old cultivator with no potential.

Any positive feelings she had for Xu Mu disappeared due to Xu Mu’s enthusiasm.

During the following journey, she intentionally or unintentionally kept her distance from Xu Mu, to avoid misunderstandings and making it difficult for her to find a better match in the future.

She wanted to find another backer before they entered the depths of the jungle, preferably someone in the late stage of Qi Cultivation.

Seeing her attitude, Xu Mu was somewhat speechless.

Did he really have to show his hand again, and recruit her?

After the day’s trek ended, the two groups converged, forming a much larger group, and camped by a small creek.

After Xu Mu got his free time, he told Lan Shijin to watch the group and he couldn’t wait to get into the tent. He took out Xiao Yi’s storage bag, as well as the storage bag of Zhou Chong and the others from last time, and started to take stock of his gains..
