  ————

  The Xu family's lanterns are colorful and festive. Today is Miss Xu Rou's engagement day, the whole of Yun City is bustling with excitement.

  Xu's family ordered the whole city to celebrate together, and people were sent out to distribute some spiritual stones. Anyone who passed by would receive five pieces of spiritual stone! It wasn't much, but it was enough to add a bit of festivity.

  However, if everyone in the city comes to receive it, this is also a considerable amount. With Yun City's population exceeding 100,000, that would be exactly 500,000 spirit stones!

  "Master, why are you so happy today?" Qing Shan asked with a smile beside him.

  "It's great that this is happening naturally. Being able to be engaged to Xu Rou, it's something I've always dreamed of." Jiang Xiao Yu laughed happily.

  The two of them laughed and talked without any reserve, surrounded by people from the Xu family. They sat on their horses, heading in the direction of the Xu mansion.

  Jiang Xiaoyu was indeed very excited, he had talked about romance before, but getting engaged was a first, it was too sudden, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but more so excited!

  Being able to get engaged to someone you like is probably one of the happiest things in the world, right? At least that's what he thinks.

  Although the time spent with Xu Rou is not very long, this fondness is quite deep. It's possible that she saved me, or maybe it's because she was the first person of the opposite sex I met in this world. Anyway, I just feel particularly close to her and especially comfortable when we're together.

  A certain teahouse, second floor, two men were drinking tea. One of them was slightly taller, wearing a riding boot on his foot and with disheveled hair. The other wore ordinary clothes, but his eyes revealed an extraordinary color.

  Two people from the teahouse saw Jiang Xiaoyu riding a fine horse, and after he left their line of sight, both let out a cold snort.

  "I didn't expect that this mediocre Thousand Night talent would actually get engaged to the Xu family. He already had some supporters in the Academy, and now he has the support of Xu Bairan, a divine bridge cultivator. In the future, he might even become an elder." The taller man said in a low voice.

  "It also depends on what kind of strength he can achieve in the future, and now let's see if he can get engaged safely. But I didn't expect that the Yangri Party would send you, Zhao Chenghui." The ordinary-looking man sized up his opponent with great interest.

  Zhao Chenghui smiled lightly and took a sip of tea before saying: "Wang Yue Party, didn't you also send Fang brother over?"

  If Jiang Xiaoyu were to hear the conversation between the two, she would definitely be shocked, because these two are the leaders of the two major factions in the college! This time Qianye is going to get engaged to Xu Rou, and the two of them came to crash the scene.

  "I've long heard that Miss Xu is a beauty unmatched in the world. I wonder if Brother Fang has any intentions in this regard?" Zhao Chenghui asked with a light smile.

  "Hehe, this fairy is not someone we can afford to mess with. I heard that Qian Ye is engaged to her, but it's not just because of her looks." Fang Qian said with a mysterious smile.

  "Oh? Why is that?" Zhao Chenghui asked with a seemingly amused tone. Although he appeared to be curious on the surface, in reality, he didn't care at all, as he had already known this information long ago.

  Now both sides are just probing each other, grasping how much intelligence they have, and calculating the hidden strength of the other party's wings. Although their goals are the same this time, in essence, they are competitors.

  Fang Qian directly opened the skylight and said bluntly: "It's said that Xu Rou's physique is a rare Tianyuan Spiritual Body, if you can dual cultivate with such a physique, your cultivation will skyrocket!"

  "So you're saying that your Moon Party's Feather King is planning to pull this girl into his own...?" Zhao Chenghui asked. His eyes slightly rotated, as if pondering the meaning behind the other person's words.

  "Haha! A wise man doesn't speak in riddles, do you dare say that the Star King of the Radiant Party didn't have this idea? If it wasn't for our Feathered King taking a liking to her, to be honest, I was about to make my move." Fang Qian hummed with a smile.

  Zhao Chenghui didn't continue the conversation, Tianyuan's spiritual body, this physique is rare in a thousand years, who wouldn't be moved? Cultivating with this physique would make breaking through the Divine Bridge extremely simple!

  However, it is said that this physique needs to be matched with corresponding gongfa cultivation in order to make rapid progress. If not, it's inferior to ordinary physiques. Currently, Xu Rou's strength has already reached the Cloud Ascension Ninth Heaven, but nobody knows about this.

  Even she herself was puzzled as to why she could cultivate so quickly. As for her own physical constitution, she didn't know a thing about it.

  ......

  ......

  They had already arrived at the Xufu gate, Jiang Xiaoyu got off his horse and bowed to the people welcoming him in front of the door. Because it was an engagement, he wore a red robe, just like a wedding.

  "Uncle." Jiang Xiaoyu bowed his hands to the person standing in front of him. From Qianye's memory, he naturally knew that this was Xu Rou's father, Xu Bairan!

  He secretly thought that the other party was a stern father, but judging from his attitude towards Xu Rou, it seemed that he didn't care about this daughter at all. Now, he only agreed to marry Xu Rou off to him in order to win over Qian Ye.

  As for this, Jiang Xiaoyu didn't have any good feelings towards him, she just pretended on the surface.

  "Take it back!" Old Ginger reminded him on the side.

  Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't help but laugh: "Look at this silly husband of mine! Husband, you've met your father-in-law!"

  Xu Bairan nodded slightly and didn't say much, then led everyone inside.

  He's really good at pretending! Jiang Xiaoyu cursed inwardly. It has to be said that the other party's style is not bad, and he himself has merged into his own pretending skills!

  "Go and invite Miss out." Old Jiang ordered a few people.

  Xu Jia's ancestral hall, Xu Rou was kneeling there, looking at her mother's spirit tablet, couldn't help but smile, thinking of the past drips and drops, tears involuntarily flowed down two drops.

  "Mother, you are now formally married too, no need for people to gossip about you anymore." Xu Rou said with a smile in front of her mother's memorial tablet.

  Xu Bairan also kept his promise, that day she told Xu Bairan that she would no longer resist and was willing to get engaged with Qian Ye, Xu Nian's emotions changed slightly, then according to the promise, he really placed her mother's spirit tablet in the ancestral temple.

  She has been waiting for this day for too long, and she didn't mind practicing the poisonous scripture, ruining her appearance, all for this day! Now that her wish has come true, she is also satisfied.

  "Miss, you're here after all. The engagement ceremony is about to start, hurry up and go out!" A maid came over to urge her.

  Xu Rou nodded and said faintly: "I know."

  At this moment, the tears on her face had disappeared, and she regained her previous attitude. As for this family, she had never had any good feelings about it.

  But thinking that she would be engaged to Jiang Xiaoyu later, her face couldn't help but turn red. Really... getting engaged? To be honest, she had never thought that she could get engaged to Jiang Xiaoyu, and this was all happening a bit too fast!

  They've been together for over a month, and in less than half a year, they're already going to get engaged. Thinking about it feels unreal. She likes Jiang Xiaoyu, the other party makes her feel very sunny, being together is beautiful, but getting engaged so quickly has made her heart flutter.

  He walked into the beautifully decorated courtyard, where all the guests had already arrived. Jiang Xiaoyu was now standing in the crowd, chatting with everyone, with a thousand nights of memories. He was imitating so perfectly that no one could see any flaws.

  "Here comes! Here comes!"

  Jiang Xiaoyu looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Xu Rou wearing a bright red wedding dress, looking extremely beautiful. She was as lovely as an immortal from heaven, with a beauty that was rarely seen in the mortal world.

  Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly became infatuated and walked a few steps forward, looking at Xu Rou with a smile: "You look especially beautiful today."

  "Wasn't it good-looking before?" Xǔ Róu said.

  Jiang Xiaoyu was suddenly speechless, and for a moment, she couldn't think of how to respond. She was entangled by her own thoughts! Looking at Xu Rou's eyes again, Jiang Xiaoyu saw a flash of cunning, and only then did she realize that the other person had done it on purpose!

  Helpless, she smiled and shook her head. With so many people around, it was really impossible to collect her! She secretly shot a glance at him, and the two walked shoulder to shoulder towards Xu Bairan.

  The witness would naturally be the father, Xu Bairan. However, Qian Ye's teacher and deputy dean was nowhere to be found at this moment, like a dragon that appears and disappears suddenly, making it difficult to find him.

  "They're truly a match made in heaven! The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, plus their cultivation levels are about the same."

  "Xu Rou sister is really beautiful..."

  Among everyone's envy, the two of them completed some simple ceremonies and now it was time for the exchange of engagement gifts.

  Jiang Xiaoyu smiled and took out a necklace, which was carefully selected by him in the promotional city!

  Heart of Sea God: Can form a powerful protective shield! Can withstand... Exchange points: 5 points.

  The necklace is sky blue, made of unknown material, and Jiang Xiaoyu didn't study its material too much. In the center of the necklace lies a bright blue diamond.

  As for Jiang Xiaoyu, he had put a lot of thought into this and with this necklace, he believed that Xu Rou would not be in great danger even if she encountered the Divine Bridge in the future.

  Xu Rou then took out a jade pendant, and when Xu Baiyan saw the pendant, his expression changed slightly. If one observed more closely, they would notice that his right hand trembled slightly.

  It's just that now everyone is focused on Jiang Xiaoyu and Xu Rou, no one will observe Xu Bairan in such detail.

  The jade pendant was a pale green color with some ordinary floral patterns engraved on it, which made it an ordinary jade pendant, but to Xu Rou, it held extraordinary significance.

  "This is the only thing my mother left me." Xǔ Róu said. She was telling Jiāng Xiǎo Yuè not to look down on this jade pendant.

  Jiang Xiaoyu smiled as she accepted the jade pendant and said: "I will definitely take good care of it. Looking at it will make me think of you."

  Xu Rou heard this and couldn't help but smile gently.

  After receiving the jade pendant, Jiang Xiao Yu quietly put it into her space, such a meaningful thing, must be well taken care of!

  Just as he was about to put the necklace on Xu Rou, two people strode into the courtyard.

  "Wait!"

  Jiang Xiaoyu heard this and helplessly turned around, her originally good mood was ruined just like that.

  Everyone else looked at them with a puzzled expression. On the day of Miss Xu's engagement to Qian Ye, who would be so bold as to come and stir up trouble?
