Chapter 91: Marriage Proposal Turmoil, Heart Already Belonging

Great Elder Situ Qian stroked his beard, looking Mu Xueyan up and down with an appreciative expression, and said with satisfaction: "Mu Tianhe, your daughter is truly lovely; she is worthy of our Canglan Palace Master!"

Mu Tianhe twitched his eyebrows proudly: "Of course, my Mu family's daughter is naturally top-notch."

Mu Xueyan was slightly stunned, then respectfully said: "Senior Situ Qian, please retract your command. Xue Yan feels unworthy of the Canglan Palace Master."

Great Elder Situ Qian hiccuped and waved his hand: "How could she be unworthy? If I say she is worthy, then she is worthy! Even if Lin Fan has become the Canglan Palace Master, he is still my Disciple. Does he dare not give me Face? Let's go, I'll take you to find him!"

"Senior Situ Qian! Senior Situ Qian!" Mu Xueyan cried out in a hurry, trying to stop him.

Who would have thought that Great Elder Situ Qian was in high spirits from drinking and couldn't listen to anything, so he pulled Mu Tianhe along and walked forward.

Mu Tianhe also took the opportunity to whisper a rebuke: "When adults are talking, it's not your place to interrupt! I'm doing this for your own good, just follow behind."

"Father!" Mu Xueyan was both shy and annoyed, stomping her feet in anger, but she could do nothing about her father, so she could only bite her lip and follow behind with small steps.

"Get married! Get married!"

A crowd of Cultivators, loving the excitement, followed along and jeered loudly, their momentum massive, surging forward like a tide.

Inside and outside the Canglan Hall, the shouts shook the heavens, and many people were drawn by the sound.

Just like that, the massive, noisy procession went to find Lin Fan.

Inside the elegant pavilion, the fragrance of wine curled in the air. Lin Fan held the battle damage report, frowning slightly.

Lin Chen sat to the side, a gentle smile on her Face, as if she were having a drink to unwind.

Opposite them, Li Ya was taking a sip of fine wine, leaning against the back of the chair in a lazy and pure manner.

"According to the agreement, all losses from this war for the Heavenly Kingdom will be replenished by you."

Li Ya pushed another report in front of Lin Fan, her tone carrying a hint of mockery: "You really are the Five Regions' biggest sucker."

Lin Fan helplessly took the report and was just about to say something when a thunderous shout came from afar: "Get married! Get married!"

The chanting grew closer and clearer.

Lin Fan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly whispered: "Li Ya, hide quickly, someone is coming."

"Where am I supposed to hide?" Li Ya looked around; the room was simple and tidy, with nowhere to hide. She complained: "Can't even have a drink in peace!"

Lin Fan's brows were locked tight, then a flash of inspiration struck: "Quick, turn into an ordinary Qin Sect Disciple."

Li Ya pouted: "I really surrender to you." Before the words faded, her figure changed, turning into a beautiful and moving Qin Sect Disciple, dressed in simple plain clothes with long hair draping over her shoulders, standing respectfully beside Lin Fan.

"Lin Fan, this will cost extra!" She added in a whisper, her Face full of helplessness.

As soon as she finished speaking, "Click—" the redwood door was pushed open, and Great Elder Situ Qian and Mu Tianhe burst in one after the other.

"Lin Fan, I have an important matter to announce!" Great Elder Situ Qian's Face was flushed, clearly having drunk quite a bit.

Behind him followed the shy Mu Xueyan, her autumn-water-like eyes sneaking a glance at Lin Fan, filled with a mix of unease and anticipation.

Not to mention the crowd of jeering Cultivators, who were now blocking the doorway, shouting in unison: "Get married! Get married!"

Lin Fan's mouth twitched slightly, and a vein pulsed on his forehead: "What kind of formation is this…"

Great Elder Situ Qian had already strode to his front, patting his shoulder, and announced with great excitement: "Lin Fan, today we have decided to hold a grand happy event for you!"

"Yes!" Mu Tianhe took over: "My Xue Yan is very virtuous, and her beauty is one in ten thousand. Today, old Great Elder Situ Qian and I have already set your marriage engagement!"

"Congratulations to the Canglan Palace Master!"

"Should have done this long ago!"

The crowd of Cultivators clapped and cheered, the applause thunderous, and the elegant pavilion instantly became lively.

Lin Fan's expression darkened slightly, and just as he was about to refute, Mu Xueyan was already blushing furiously from shame, whispering: "Senior Situ Qian, Father, this matter… let's just forget it."

"Forget it? What do you mean forget it!" Great Elder Situ Qian waved his hand: "I say it counts! What are you young people being so reserved for?"

Mu Tianhe also chimed in: "Exactly! This kid Lin Fan is the Canglan Palace Master; with such status, it's a blessing for Xue Yan to marry him! You don't need to overthink it."

"But…"

"No buts!" Great Elder Situ Qian said heroically to Lin Fan: "Lin Fan, you have to give this old bag of bones some Face! This matter is settled!"

Lin Fan helplessly held his forehead, just about to explain, when Li Ya, who was standing to the side and loving the excitement, lowered her voice to tease: "Lord Canglan Palace Master, you are in big trouble now."

Lin Fan sighed lightly: "You shut up."

Great Elder Situ Qian didn't give Lin Fan a chance to refuse at all, shouting: "Everyone, be quiet!"

The Cultivators quieted down, and Great Elder Situ Qian announced loudly: "From today on, the Canglan Palace Master Lin Fan and Mu Tianhe's daughter, Mu Xueyan, have officially set their marriage engagement! We shall choose a day to get married!"

"Good!"

"Choosing a day is not as good as doing it today!"

The Cultivators began to clamor again.

Mu Xueyan was too shy to even lift her head, she could only lower it slightly, twisting her hands together, stealing glances at Lin Fan with a heart full of anxiety.

Lin Fan was extremely helpless in his heart, his mouth twitching, and he had to bite the bullet and stand up: "Everyone must be drunk, right? Let's talk about this later!"

But how could Great Elder Situ Qian allow him to refuse? He laughed and said: "Lin Fan, you can't escape!"

"Get married! Get married!"

The crowd shouted again, the atmosphere was sensational, and Lin Fan's mouth twitched; he really wanted to escape immediately.

Lin Chen, sitting to the side, pouted and transmitted her voice to Lin Fan with dissatisfaction: "Lin Fan, I, your little wife, haven't even entered the door yet."

Lin Fan replied: "Alright, I'll marry you first, and then you'll be the second wife."

"No, I still want to be the little wife; that sounds better. Being the 'second wife' doesn't sound good at all!"

"Alright, you be the little wife, and Xue Yan can be the second wife."

"Hmm, alright. Wait, that doesn't seem right. That Bai Youyou, she will have to marry you sooner or later; then wouldn't I become the third wife? How about this, marry Xue Yan today; the little wife can only be me!"

Hearing Lin Chen's analysis, Lin Fan found this little girl even more adorable: "Alright, alright, alright, the little wife can only be you."

Although he had already discussed the worst-case scenario with Lin Chen, Lin Fan actually didn't want to marry Mu Xueyan because the one she liked was Left Sword Envoy Yun Che.

So he decided to stall for time first; if it really didn't work out, he would marry Mu Xueyan—after all, who could blame her for being so beautiful.

Lin Fan stood up respectfully and bowed: "Teacher, it is not that your Disciple is disobeying you, but Miss Xue Yan's heart already belongs to another; this matter is inappropriate."

Great Elder Situ Qian's laughing expression suddenly stiffened: "Lass Xue Yan, is this true!"

Mu Xueyan lowered her head, feeling both ashamed and flustered, unable to say a word for a long time.

"I… I…"

Great Elder Situ Qian looked at Mu Tianhe with a fierce expression and shouted: "Mu Tianhe, I didn't expect that you, a Grandmaster of your generation, would actually do something like this!"

Mu Tianhe waved his hands repeatedly. Since family scandals should not be aired in public, he quietly transmitted his voice to tell Great Elder Situ Qian about the situation between Mu Xueyan and Left Sword Envoy Yun Che.
