“Previously, I received your visiting card stating that you were coming to propose marriage. May I ask who in the Wu Family you are proposing for, and who is the object of this proposal?”

Young Master Wu Xingguang said, "I am proposing for myself. The object of my proposal is none other than Saint Master Gu Hanyu's sister, Fairy Hanjing." Saint Master Gu Hanyu frowned slightly.

"Young Master Wu Xingguang, you had better choose someone else. Hanjing is currently not suited for marriage," Saint Master Gu Hanyu said. Young Master Wu Xingguang couldn't help but ask, "Why is she not suitable?" Saint Master Gu Hanyu gave a light snort. "I, the Saint Master, do not need to explain that to you, Young Master Wu Xingguang, do I?"

At this moment, Young Master Wu Xingguang took out a token. The token was engraved with the mark of the Hanshui Holy Land, and on the back, there was the character 'Ice'. This was the token of Ice Ancestor Gu Hanbing, similar to the Ancestor Gu Cang token that Lin Moyu had obtained previously. Saint Master Gu Hanyu's frown deepened.

She had a bad premonition. Young Master Wu Xingguang said, "This is the token given by your Holy Land's Ice Ancestor. With this token, I can make one request to your Holy Land, and it can be any request. Is that correct?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu raised her hand gently, and the token automatically flew into her hand. Young Master Wu Xingguang was not afraid that Saint Master Gu Hanyu would refuse to honor it; the token had been given to the Wu Family by Ice Ancestor Gu Hanbing, and Saint Master Gu Hanyu would not want to burn bridges with the Wu Family.

After Saint Master Gu Hanyu checked the token and confirmed it was genuine, she threw it back to Young Master Wu Xingguang and said, "It is indeed the Ice Ancestor's token. However, Young Master Wu Xingguang, you should also know the rules of my Holy Land. You are welcome to propose, but Hanjing must be willing herself. Now, I, as the Saint Master, tell you on her behalf: this marriage is impossible!"

"Choose someone else, and perhaps I can put in a good word for you." Young Master Wu Xingguang's expression did not change. He chuckled, "If Fairy Hanjing is unwilling, I naturally cannot force her. However, I wish to hear it from Fairy Hanjing herself. As long as Fairy Hanjing rejects me personally, I will leave immediately without another word." "You…"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu suddenly realized that Young Master Wu Xingguang must know about Gu Hanjing's situation, which was why he spoke like that.

Chapter 3391: Going to See the Sister-in-Law. She was in a difficult position for a moment. Facing the Ice Ancestor's token, even as the Saint Master, she had to follow the rules. At this moment, Lin Moyu's voice slowly rang out, "In other words, the request you are making now, while holding the Ice Ancestor's token, is to have Gu Hanjing reject you personally?"

Lin Moyu's sudden interruption made Young Master Wu Xingguang somewhat displeased. He held the Ice Ancestor's token, which indeed made it hard for Saint Master Gu Hanyu to refuse easily. Moreover, he clearly sensed Saint Master Gu Hanyu's dilemma, and coupled with the information he possessed, it was impossible for Gu Hanjing to come and reject him personally.

This gave him the illusion that he was in control of the situation. Especially since he was facing a Holy Land Master like Saint Master Gu Hanyu, it gave Young Master Wu Xingguang a strong sense of accomplishment. But just as he was about to further enhance this sense of achievement, Lin Moyu interrupted his feeling, which made him very unhappy.

However, in front of Saint Master Gu Hanyu, Young Master Wu Xingguang still maintained the demeanor expected of a young master from the Wu Family. He looked at Lin Moyu. "Fellow Daoist Lin, this is our third meeting today, right? I, Wu Xingguang, still do not know what Fellow Daoist Lin's status is."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "This is Elder Lin." Young Master Wu Xingguang smiled slightly. "So it is Elder Lin. My apologies. May I ask what you meant by what you just said, Elder Lin?"

Lin Moyu smiled, "Aren't you here to propose marriage? But you were rejected by Saint Master Gu Hanyu, and then you took out the Ice Ancestor's token, saying that you must have Fairy Hanjing reject you personally. Doesn't that mean that your request is being made using the Ice Ancestor's token? If Fairy Hanjing rejects you personally, then your Ice Ancestor's token should be considered redeemed by us."

Young Master Wu Xingguang thought about it, and it seemed to be the logic. But it also felt wrong. The Ice Ancestor's token shouldn't be used this way. This token could make the Hanshui Holy Land do one thing; how could it only be worth a single rejection? But if he didn't use the token…

Saint Master Gu Hanyu would have rejected him directly, and he wouldn't even have had a chance. Originally, he had only wanted to use the token to put Saint Master Gu Hanyu in a difficult position and then press his advantage, but he hadn't expected this.

Seeing Young Master Wu Xingguang silent, Lin Moyu continued, "Fellow Daoist Wu Xingguang, is it or is it not? Give me a straight answer. As a dignified young master of the Wu Family, you should be decisive. Hesitating will only make people laugh."

Provoked by Lin Moyu, Young Master Wu Xingguang's eyes changed noticeably, and his heart was in turmoil. "That's not right. According to the information I possess, Gu Hanjing cannot answer my questions. Being unable to answer means she cannot reject me personally. Could it be that the information I received is wrong? Or is this guy bluffing me!"

Just as Young Master Wu Xingguang was about to speak, his ears twitched. The Seventh Realm Ancestor behind him sent a voice transmission, "This token is worth far more than that. Don't agree rashly. Think about the rules of the Hanshui Holy Land. Use your brain."

Young Master Wu Xingguang was slightly startled and instantly sobered up. He was not a fool; a fool could not have cultivated to this realm. At most, he could only be considered a bit impulsive and narrow-minded. After a moment of thought, he immediately found a breakthrough.

Young Master Wu Xingguang smiled, "Fellow Daoist Lin does not have the surname Gu. If I recall correctly, external elders of the Hanshui Holy Land are not allowed to interfere with the internal affairs of the Gu Family of the Hanshui Holy Land, right? Actually, my proposal this time is a matter between the Wu Family and the Gu Family. Why should an external elder like you be managing it?"

Lin Moyu smiled lightly, "Fellow Daoist Wu Xingguang may not know this, but besides being an external elder, I have another identity."

Young Master Wu Xingguang asked, "What other identity could you possibly have?" At this moment, Saint Master Gu Hanyu's cold voice rang out, "Elder Lin is also my husband."

"What!" Young Master Wu Xingguang felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He froze in place, his expression even solidifying. It wasn't just him; the two Seventh Realm Ancestors behind him also revealed expressions of disbelief. Not to mention them, even Gu Nianshui at the side was dumbfounded. In her view, such a thing was even more like a fantasy!

Lin Moyu smiled, "Fairy Hanjing is my sister-in-law. Tell me, can I manage this matter or not?"

After a few seconds, Young Master Wu Xingguang finally reacted. "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Saint Master Gu Hanyu is the Saint Master of the Hanshui Holy Land. According to the rules of the Hanshui Holy Land, the Saint Master cannot marry."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu's voice was cold. "Whether the Saint Master can marry or not is the internal affair of my Hanshui Holy Land; I do not need to explain it to you."

Lin Moyu said, "Fellow Daoist Wu Xingguang, rather than concerning yourself with the rules of the Hanshui Holy Land, you had better continue talking about your proposal. You haven't answered the question from just now: holding the Ice Ancestor's token, what request do you actually want to make?"

"If you have a request, say it. If it is something that can be done, Saint Master Gu Hanyu certainly will not refuse. If it is something that cannot be done, I am sorry, even if the Ice Ancestor herself were to come forward, things that cannot be done still cannot be done. Our Hanshui Holy Land is very reasonable; we never do the base thing of forcing disciples to marry, nor would we make any base requests."

Lin Moyu had a smile on his face at this moment. His smile, in the eyes of Young Master Wu Xingguang, was naked mockery. It seemed to be saying: what you are doing is truly base and cannot be brought into the light.

At this time, a flame named jealousy burned in Young Master Wu Xingguang's heart. Lin Moyu was actually able to take Saint Master Gu Hanyu as his wife. What virtue or ability did he have? Meanwhile, he himself could only propose to Gu Hanjing, and others were unwilling to agree. As for marrying Gu Hanjing, it was naturally far inferior to marrying Saint Master Gu Hanyu. Young Master Wu Xingguang was naturally very clear about which was stronger and which was weaker.

Under Lin Moyu's smile, Young Master Wu Xingguang felt that he had been forced into a dead end. He now had only two choices. One was to continue using the token to make the previous request, insisting on having Gu Hanjing reject him personally. The second was to take the token and slink away, pretending that this matter had never happened.

But if he did that, his reputation would be completely lost. After returning to the family, what kind of looks would those old guys give him? He could imagine it. The Wu Family was not the Hanshui Holy Land; internal competition was very fierce. He could easily become an abandoned pawn. In the Wu Family, he, a Dao Venerable with no potential, was simply nothing.

Moreover, after this matter spread, it would inevitably be even more difficult for him to propose to other forces. Therefore, in reality, he only had one choice: to bet that Gu Hanjing could not reject him personally. But what if he bet wrong?

"What. Fellow Daoist Wu Xingguang, are you still unable to make a decision? Why not go back and think about it first, and come back when you have decided." Lin Moyu's tone was very sincere, appearing like a good-natured person, but in the eyes of Young Master Wu Xingguang, it was full of mockery and teasing.

Young Master Wu Xingguang's head suddenly heated up, and all his hesitation vanished in an instant. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, I want Fairy Hanjing to say it personally. That is my request."

Lin Moyu glanced at Saint Master Gu Hanyu. Saint Master Gu Hanyu gave Lin Moyu a look, signaling that he was in charge of everything. Lin Moyu smiled, "Since that is the case, then you go back and rest first. Fairy Hanjing is currently in seclusion cultivation; we will go and call her out of seclusion."

This reason was very appropriate and reasonable, and no fault could be found with it. Young Master Wu Xingguang asked in a deep voice, "How many days will I have to wait?" Lin Moyu said, "That is hard to say. It depends on the level of Fairy Hanjing's cultivation. What if she is just in the middle of a breakthrough? Then it might take a little longer."

Young Master Wu Xingguang said coldly, "In that case, does this mean I have to wait for decades or hundreds of years?" Lin Moyu said, "That won't be necessary. Although I cannot tell you the exact time, I think it won't be too long. Since you have come to propose marriage, you surely have at least that much patience, don't you?"

Young Master Wu Xingguang snorted coldly, "Then I hope it won't be too long." Young Master Wu Xingguang left with anger. Since the matter had reached this point, he had no choice but to wait. In any case, it was impossible to fall out with Saint Master Gu Hanyu here; that would be courting death. After they left, Saint Master Gu Hanyu's face was full of worry. Lin Moyu smiled, "Don't worry. Let's go see the sister-in-law first."

Chapter 3392: Going to See the Sister-in-Law. Just because others have no way, doesn't mean I don't have a way. Saint Master Gu Hanyu used the teleportation ability of the origin spirit vein to directly teleport herself and Lin Moyu outside a quiet courtyard. Above the courtyard, a formation was in operation.
