Chapter 63: Choose a day to get married.
The Nangong Family is here too?
Lin Nantian was confused. The relationship between the Nangong Family and the Lin Family wasn’t exactly stellar.
This time, they actually came to attend his birthday celebration proactively?
However, all visitors are guests. He waved for both families to enter.
A while later, two groups of people walked into the hall, led by a young man and a young woman.
The man was handsome and dignified, with a tall and straight physique, immediately attracting the attention of many young female juniors from the Lin Family, and even enchanting some naive young girls.
As for the woman, her eyes were cold and her beauty was unparalleled. She exuded an aura of arrogance and confidence, completely ignoring the gazes cast at her by the young men of the Lin Family.
At this point, some Lin Family juniors with discerning eyes recognized their identities.
“This is Nangong Xu, the prodigy of the Nangong Family, and Jiang Yanran, the prodigy of the Jiang Family.”
The Lin Family juniors couldn’t help but admire their looks and demeanor.
“So this is the recently renowned Jiang Yanran from the Jiang Family… She’s truly stunning!” Lin Tian stared intently at Jiang Yanran, his saliva almost dripping down.
“This Young Master Nangong is the one, he’s truly handsome.” A young female disciple of the Lin Family remarked.
“Why does it feel like they look like a perfect match walking side by side?”
Someone, no one knew who, uttered this sentence, and instantly the perception of the Lin Family juniors towards them changed. The more they looked, the more they felt the two were incredibly well-suited.
“I’d say they are both geniuses who achieved Core Formation before the age of twenty, and both have Rank 7 Golden Cores. Jiang Yanran joined the Ice Palace, and Nangong Xu joined the Xuanming Hall, both are Rank 1 immortal sects. It’s normal for them to look like a match made in heaven.”
Envy is a human failing.
These young juniors knew very well that Lin Mo and Jiang Yanran were engaged.
Some of them, thinking that since they couldn’t have her, no one else should either, started to egg them on.
Lin Qingqing, however, said, “I actually think Lin Mo… uncle, is even better looking than Nangong Xu…”
All eyes turned to her.
Lin Qingqing blushed and shyly lowered her head.
“Sister Qingqing, could it be you have a crush on Lin Mo?” Lin Tian’s eyes widened.
“Don’t talk nonsense, I just think Lin Mo uncle isn’t worse than Nangong Xu.” Lin Qingqing’s face turned even redder, her small hands unconsciously rubbing back and forth.
Her words resonated with some of the young female disciples of the Lin Family.
“It’s true, like Qingqing said, Lin Mo’s appearance and demeanor are not inferior to Nangong Xu’s…”
“That’s just appearance. What about strength? Nangong Xu has a Rank 7 Golden Core, and didn’t the Family Head just say Lin Mo only has a Rank 5?”
Every three ranks of Golden Core represented a significant threshold. A Rank 5 Golden Core was still far too different from a Rank 7 Golden Core.
Lin Mo had met Nangong Xu before. He was nothing but a hypocrite.
His attention shifted to Jiang Yanran’s direction.
More accurately, to a white-clothed maiden standing beside Jiang Yanran. The maiden’s beauty was no less than Jiang Yanran’s, but she dressed more simply, making herself less conspicuous.
This maiden seemed completely unfazed by her surroundings, maintaining a stern expression.
The reason Lin Mo was drawn to her was not entirely due to her appearance. It was because this maiden, while also having a Golden Core like him, gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
Even his grandfather, Lin Nantian, who was in the late Nascent Soul stage, had never given him such a feeling.
And this maiden’s presence itself was very contradictory.
Truly strange…
“Greetings, Family Head Lin.” Nangong Xu said.
“Greetings, Grandpa Lin.” Jiang Yanran’s grandfather had an excellent relationship with Lin Nantian, so her calling him Grandpa was not out of place.
After Nangong Xu and Jiang Yanran bowed to Lin Nantian simultaneously, they presented their respective birthday gifts.
Not paying attention to the gifts, Lin Nantian was fond of Jiang Yanran and specifically instructed his servants to add a seat next to Lin Mo.
Nangong Xu, on the other hand, sat in the guest section.
The two exchanged glances without speaking and took their seats as arranged by Lin Nantian.
Lin Mo noticed their interaction but didn’t say anything.
“Brother Mo, long time no see!” A gust of fragrant breeze passed, and Jiang Yanran sat beside him very naturally.
Her gaze fixed on Lin Mo for a long time.
In previous years, when he visited her, she always wore plain clothes and looked rather unfashionable. Today, to his surprise, she had changed so much.
She was beautiful, but in the cultivation world, appearance was far less important than strength, connections, and talent.
Lin Mo responded softly and remained silent.
This attitude puzzled Jiang Yanran. In previous meetings, Lin Mo used to stick to her, greeting her actively.
Today, when she initiated the conversation, his reaction left her feeling somewhat displeased.
Lin Mo had no feelings for the original owner’s fiancée, so he could view matters more rationally.
He didn’t mind having an additional chosen companion, but he first needed to confirm if she genuinely cared for him.
However, judging from the memories of the past two years, it seemed that after Jiang Yanran achieved Core Formation, she had intentionally distanced herself from the original owner.
On her last two visits to deliver gifts, she claimed to be unwell and had servants accept the gifts without meeting him.
Seeing Jiang Yanran’s attitude today, Lin Mo had a general understanding that this woman held no romantic feelings for the original owner.
He then looked towards Lin Qingqing.
As if on cue, Lin Qingqing happened to meet his gaze, and her entire face turned crimson.
See, this little girl seemed more likely to like him.
Lin Nantian, seeing no interaction between Lin Mo and Jiang Yanran, sighed inwardly, wondering why his grandson didn’t understand his intentions.
He then said, “Yanran girl, you’re twenty this year, aren’t you?”
Jiang Yanran respectfully replied, “Yes, Grandpa Lin, Yanran just turned twenty.”
Lin Nantian nodded, stroked his beard, and smiled, “Now that you and Mo’er have both formed your cores, it’s time to consider the date for your grand wedding.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanran’s expression changed, and she replied, “Grandpa Lin, I’ve just joined the Ice Palace and need to focus on my cultivation for the next few years…”
Lin Nantian interrupted her, “Silly girl, marriage is an important matter. Your Jiang Family and our Lin Family joining forces will further benefit both families’ development.”
“Besides, a wedding only takes a few days. How could it possibly delay your cultivation?”
Jiang Yanran retorted, “However, the rules of the Ice Palace are very strict. Even if we get married, Brother Mo and I won’t have time to interact…”
At this moment, Lin Mo, who was sipping tea, put down his teacup and smiled, “It’s alright. We can get married first and then develop our feelings later; there’s no rush.”
After he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Yanran’s face turn extremely ugly, even a little pale. He glanced at Nangong Xu from the corner of his eye.
Nangong Xu, having heard Lin Mo’s words, glared at him as if he could devour him.
It was as if his wife had been snatched away.
Seeing this, Lin Mo understood.
These two had already gotten together.
Poor original owner.
How could the women around him be so bizarre, one after another.
Fine, if that’s the case, he would gladly play along with Jiang Yanran!
