"Xingluo, you have to let me explain this, there's a reason for it."
Xu Mu looked at Dai Xingluo's resentful expression, feeling somewhat helpless.
Mainly because there were many people around, and Lin Tianlu's question had instantly painted Xu Mu as a major scumbag in everyone's eyes.
Just after having a child with Dai Xingluo, he goes off to participate in someone else's martial arts contest for marriage.
"I suppose my tongue is clumsy, not as good as other sisters'. Brother must just see me as an actress."
Dai Xingluo used the sleeve of her Hanfu to cover her face as if weeping.
Xu Mu was completely baffled. Good grief!
What are you pretending for?
If you're saying such sarcastic, backhanded things, you're definitely not really angry.
He glanced at the people around him. They must be very disappointed in his character.
But when Xu Mu looked at Lin Tianlu, he froze on the spot. Why was this man all smiles?
"Brother Xu Mu, you truly are a man of passion!"
Lin Tianlu gave Xu Mu a thumbs up. "If you only had Dai Xingluo as your wife, I would actually find it harder to bring this up. But since you also participated in the martial arts contest for marriage, it proves you're a traditional man."
Xu Mu scratched his head. This statement somehow felt a bit off.
A traditional man, so having three wives and four concubines.
"I'm not quite sure what you mean, senior."
Xu Mu looked at Lin Tianlu and asked.
"What I mean is, could I betroth my daughter, Lin Qianzhu, to you?"
Lin Tianlu said with a smile. "To be honest, when I see the two of you, I feel you look like a destined couple."
If it were before, when Xu Mu was just a miraculous doctor, Lin Tianlu might not have gone this far.
But now, the person before him was an alchemist!
The Tianjian Sect he led could only rank in the middle tier among all the sects in Dragon Country.
Take Lin Tianlu himself, for example—to this day, he didn't know a single alchemist.
The rare spiritual herbs and treasures he managed to obtain could only be consumed directly, unable to be utilized to their fullest potential.
But this person before him was an alchemist. If he had met Xu Mu a few years earlier, perhaps he could have advanced further and broken through to the Transcendent Realm.
"Father! What nonsense are you saying?"
Lin Qianzhu snorted coldly, giving Xu Mu a faint sidelong glance.
She originally had a decent impression of him, but who would have thought that with Dai Xingluo pregnant, he still went to participate in a martial arts contest for marriage.
In her view, this made him unworthy of trust.
"That's right, senior, please stop joking. I think your daughter will surely marry someone even more outstanding in the future."
Xu Mu chimed in at this point.
Hearing this, Lin Qianzhu immediately became displeased.
What did this Xu Mu mean?
With her top-tier looks, only she could reject Xu Mu. Since when did it become Xu Mu's turn to reject her?
"But, you are already outstanding."
Lin Tianlu looked at Xu Mu and said.
"No, I'm still not worthy of Miss Lin. Let's not discuss this matter further."
Xu Mu waved his hand with a smile.
"Alright."
Lin Tianlu nodded. In his view, such matters still depended on fate.
He then looked at the many elders present, regaining his authoritative demeanor as sect leader. "Zhao Yide has been executed by me."
Hearing this, the elders present all bowed their heads even lower.
Especially the several elders from Qingmu Mountain.
"This time, we must thank Brother Xu Mu. If he hadn't cured my injuries, I might have died today."
Lin Tianlu continued, "I know some among you previously worked for him. As long as you confess voluntarily, I will let bygones be bygones."
Hearing this, Xu Mu proactively said, "Senior, your internal affairs are not for me to hear. We'll take our leave now."
"Qianzhu, see them off."
Lin Tianlu looked at Lin Qianzhu beside him.
...
Led by Lin Qianzhu, Xu Mu and Dai Xingluo left the ruins and arrived at the supermarket outside.
"Miss Lin, no need to see us further. We'll meet again if fate allows."
After saying this, Xu Mu took Dai Xingluo's hand and left.
"Xu Mu! You look down on me, is that it?"
Lin Qianzhu called out from behind.
"Where did that come from?"
Xu Mu couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
"Am I not worthy of you? Why are you walking so fast? Am I going to eat you?"
Lin Qianzhu walked over with an unhappy expression.
"No, it's that I'm not worthy of you. Someone like me from a technical school isn't worthy of a university woman like you."
Xu Mu said to Lin Qianzhu, then quickly left, pulling Dai Xingluo along.
But Dai Xingluo broke free. She had to cut off any future trouble and sever Lin Qianzhu's ideas.
Besides Ye Tong, Xu Mu had now gotten another wretched woman through a martial arts contest for marriage.
She had to be the gatekeeper here. Not just any stray cat or dog could compete with her for a spot in the bed.
"Miss Lin, let me speak for my brother. You really aren't worthy of him."
Dai Xingluo said with a faint smile.
"You... I'm talking to Xu Mu! It's not your place as an outer sect disciple to interrupt!"
Lin Qianzhu pointed at Dai Xingluo and coldly snapped.
"What does being a disciple have to do with it? I came here this time to leave the sect, but your father wouldn't allow it."
As Dai Xingluo spoke, she straightened her posture slightly. "Also, you should keep a lower profile. Are we even in the same league?"
"You!"
Lin Qianzhu looked at Dai Xingluo's Hanfu, stretched taut in front, and clenched her fists in anger. "You, a mere person from a hidden family..."
"My melons are bigger than yours."
Dai Xingluo coolly interrupted Lin Qianzhu.
"I... I'm the sect leader's daughter!"
"My melons are bigger than yours."
"Whoever marries me has a chance to inherit the sect leader position in the future!"
"One of mine equals two of yours."
...
Lin Qianzhu was furious. "I'll kill you!"
"Come on then! You think I'm afraid of you!"
Dai Xingluo drew her sword from its scabbard.
"Alright, stop. No fighting."
Xu Mu immediately stepped between them, then said to Lin Qianzhu, "Miss Lin, don't listen to her nonsense."
"Xu Mu! Tell me, am I really not as good as her?"
Lin Qianzhu pointed at Dai Xingluo and asked.
"But she... is indeed bigger than you."
Xu Mu scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
[Favorability +10]
[Favorability -2]
"Xu Mu! I'll kill you first!"
Lin Qianzhu was so angry tears streamed down her face.
Xu Mu grabbed Dai Xingluo's arm and quickly ran down the mountain.
"You just wait! I'm determined to marry you now!"
Lin Qianzhu roared from behind.
...
Xu Mu and Dai Xingluo had already reached their car.
After getting in, Xu Mu drove towards the nearby county town, planning to pick up Bai Yi first.
"Brother! Don't you even have an explanation for me?"
Dai Xingluo noticed Xu Mu hadn't spoken since getting in the car, so she initiated the conversation.
"You have the nerve to ask? With so many people present, you ruined my reputation. I haven't even lectured you yet!"
Xu Mu glared at Dai Xingluo.
"Clearly it was Brother who was sneaking around, yet somehow it's the sister who is at fault."
Dai Xingluo said flatly.
"Sneaking around what? We were just in a fake marriage."
Xu Mu briefly explained the situation.
"Hmph! That vixen. Why didn't she find someone else? I think she wanted to turn the fake into reality."
Dai Xingluo crossed her arms, her eyes fixed on the window.
However, this time Xu Mu had indeed resolved a worry of hers.
If not for him, she might not have made it back this time.
Suddenly, Dai Xingluo noticed Xu Mu stopping in front of a motel.
"Brother really knows how to save money. Wanting to sleep but not finding a nicer hotel."
Dai Xingluo revealed a slight smile.

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
