On the 60th birthday of the system, my son’s engagement was annulled!

"The Feather Clan is currently weak, so the Feather Clan Chief probably wants to use Yu Xi to form a marriage alliance with other ancient clans in order to stabilize his high and mighty position."

Lin Xuan took a big gulp of tea, his eyes as calm as still water, and said with great certainty.

Bai Ma looked at Lin Xuan in shock, not expecting him to guess so accurately.

"Clan Chief Lin is truly a genius. That's right, the Feather Clan's power is extremely weak now. In just a few hundred years, their resources and territory have shrunk. Many resources that originally belonged to them have been taken over by other ancient clans, or even some forces that are not as powerful as them. Now, in terms of strength, the Feather Clan has completely fallen behind the other ancient clans. In order to stabilize their own foundation, the Feather Clan's patriarch has arranged for his daughter, Miss Yu Xi, to unite with the young patriarch of the ancient clan, Gu Family, in order to consolidate his position."

These matters were no secret for a long time. After all, the marriage alliance between the Feather Clan and the Ancient Family had already spread throughout the entire Divine Continent. As a native of the Divine Continent, Baima was naturally well aware of these things.

"Hmph! This is truly despicable. To sacrifice one's own daughter to maintain one's own position, and yet he calls himself a Gun Immortal? How pathetic and contemptible!"

Lan Zhantian, sitting to the side, snorted coldly and slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair. His tone was displeased, and he showed serious disdain for the so-called Gun Immortal.

Lan Zhantian, filled with righteous indignation, strongly disapproved of this act of sacrificing his own daughter.

However, Qingfeng and the others remained silent.

Lin Xuan also shook his head very calmly.

"I can understand why the spear immortal Yu Buxian is like this. If we follow Mr. Baima's logic, the Feather Clan has become a coveted prize in the eyes of many powerful forces. If they don't make something of themselves, the Feather Clan may become history in a few hundred years."

Bai Ma looked at Lin Xuan with even greater surprise upon hearing this.

Bai Ma was also well aware that there must be some very close relationship between Yu Xi of the Feather Clan and Lin Xuan.

Now, the Feather Clan wants to marry Yu Xi off to someone else, but Lin Xuan is not only not angry, he can even understand Yu Buxian, who forcibly separated him and Yu Xi. His magnanimity is truly terrifying.

"Hehe, what's wrong? Why does Mr. Baima look so shocked? Didn't expect me to say that?"

Lin Xuan looked at Bai Ma and said with a smile.

Baima remained silent for a moment and then nodded slightly.

"I truly did not expect that Clan Chief Lin would be able to understand Yu Buxian's actions."

"I can understand Yu Buxian's actions, but that doesn't mean I'm not angry."

Lin Xuan slowly stood up, his eyes instantly becoming extremely sharp, causing the temperature inside the Xuan Palace to drop by more than ten degrees.

The chill that penetrated to the bone caused everyone present to shiver. Those who knew Lin Xuan well knew that he was already furious.

Bai Ma narrowed her aged eyes slightly, feeling a kind of pressure from Lin Xuan's bloodline.

"Heh, a family business that needs a woman to maintain its stability, what good will it do to come here?"

"I can only understand why Yu Buxian would choose to do this, but it also proves that Yu Buxian has no confidence in himself. Even though he has become an immortal, he still has no confidence in himself."

"If it's just an opponent like that, then I would be very happy. Defeating such an opponent would be a piece of cake."

As Lin Xuan spoke, he smiled slightly, but the smile was somewhat cold and fierce, and a fierce glint flashed deep in his eyes.

Bai Ma took a small breath of cool air into her stomach, and her gaze towards Lin Xuan became even more serious.

The mighty spear master Yu Buxian was surprisingly so easily defeated in Lin Xuan's evaluation.

And Lin Xuan wasn't just boasting; Bai Ma genuinely felt that Lin Xuan didn't take Yu Buxian seriously.

Lin Xuan has completely rejected Yu Buxian's actions.

Bai Ma immediately stood up and cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Lin Xuan.

"Bai Ma expressed his admiration for Chief Lin, who reminded Bai Ma of someone."

"Oh? Who?"

Lin Xuan looked at Bai Ma with curiosity and amusement.

"The All-Knowing Scholar!"

Baima uttered three words.

Qingfeng and the other powerful figures from the Hundred Knowledge Scholars were all shaken when they heard this name.

"Back then, Bai Xiaosheng was so confident and ambitious. He single-handedly suppressed the entire Divine Continent, making people admire him."

Baima continued with a smile.

“Mr. Baima, let’s put the rest aside for now. As for the Feather Clan, I will naturally go there. They have already touched my sore spot, so they will naturally have to bear my wrath.”

"As for now, I should really thank the Hehuan Sect for their two acts of righteousness towards our Lin clan."

Lin Xuan smiled and looked at Bai Ma. He did not become arrogant because of his growing strength. He still bowed to Bai Ma in a friendly manner.

Looking at the humble and polite Lin Xuan, Bai Ma couldn't help but admire him.

To have achieved so much at such a young age is already quite extraordinary, but to maintain one's original aspirations while achieving such success is even more commendable.

Having lived for over five thousand years, Baima has seen countless prodigies, like stars in the sky. However, most of these so-called prodigies easily become arrogant after achieving some success, unable to maintain their composure, and ultimately fade into obscurity or die at the hands of even more powerful geniuses.

"Clan Chief Lin, there's no need for that. My Hehuan Sect has also taken a liking to Clan Chief Lin's potential. To put it bluntly, it's because of the potential and strength that Clan Chief Lin has demonstrated that my Hehuan Sect has the confidence to invest in you."

Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile at Bai Ma's words.

Baima spoke very directly, almost to the point of being blunt, but Lin Xuan really liked Baima's directness.

People die for wealth, birds die for food; these are people who have lived for thousands of years, how could they act impulsively? Naturally, they have all thought things through carefully.

If your performance today is significantly worse than your current performance, then Baima is most likely watching from the shadows.

Of course, regardless of the circumstances, Lin Xuan needed to repay Baima for her help.

"Of course, this is mainly because my little apprentice kept nagging me, which made me determined to invest in the Lin Clan."

Bai Ma suddenly turned around and looked at Mu Lingji, who was sitting second on the right.

Everyone turned their attention to Mu Lingji.

Jian Shiyi, Lin Chang'an, and the others all had the same feeling when they looked at Mu Lingji: although they were all the same age, Mu Lingji gave them the feeling that she was a generation older than them.

Mu Lingji was far more mature than the others. Even Jian Shiyi, who was always considered the most mature among them, seemed like a child in front of Mu Lingji.

"It seems I should thank Miss Mu on behalf of the Lin family."

"Miss Mu, if there is anything you want or anything you want to do, please let me know as soon as possible. I will do my best to help you with that."

Lin Xuan looked at Mu Lingji with a smile and made a big promise.

To receive such a weighty promise from Lin Xuan on the land of Dongzhou was truly unimaginable.

Lin Xuan had a question in his mind: why was Mu Lingji able to stand firmly on the Lin family's side all this time?

The last time the Hehuan Sect helped the Lin family block the Tianzuo Gate was because of Mu Lingji. Unexpectedly, this time Baima's intervention was also because of Mu Lingji.

Mu Lingji smiled at Lin Xuan. It must be said that this Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect truly possessed a face that could topple kingdoms. Every frown and smile was as delightful as a lotus bud about to bloom.

"Really? Can Emperor Xuan really promise me so many things?!" Mu Lingji looked at Lin Xuan with a broad smile on his face.

Lin Xuan smiled and nodded slightly: "Of course, I, Lin Xuan, am a man of my word. As long as it doesn't violate public order and good morals, I can do it."

"Alright, I only have one request, and that is to let me follow you."

Everyone present was stunned when Mu Lingji said this.

Lin Xuan was also stunned and looked at Mu Lingji with even more confusion.

Mu Lingji, however, paid no attention to the gazes of the crowd, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"This is my request: to stay by the side of Emperor Xuan."

Mu Lingji continued to make her request.

Bai Ma did not object to Mu Lingji's seemingly absurd request.

Pema knew very well about his disciple, whom he had only taken in late in life.

Mu Lingji is extremely intelligent and possesses great fortune. She is able to turn danger into safety on many occasions and also has an exceptionally far-sighted vision.

Over the years, nothing Mu Lingji has done has been wrong. Even the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect and the group of elders trust Mu Lingji completely.

So Mu Lingji has her reasons for doing this.

"why?"

Lin Xuan looked at Mu Lingji with a puzzled expression.

Although he was the overlord of the Eastern Continent, he wouldn't make the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, a first-class power in the Divine Continent, lower herself to serve him. After all, the Hehuan Sect was not an ordinary first-class power; it had many experts at the Pseudo-Immortal Realm. Following any of the elders within the Hehuan Sect would not necessarily be worse than following him.

Especially since Mu Lingji is the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, the resources she receives within the sect are undoubtedly the best.

"There's no reason why, I just want to do it. Senior Xuanhuang, I don't think my small request is too much."

Mu Lingji watched Lin Xuan blink his alluring yet utterly otherworldly eyes, which were actually a beautiful rose-red.

Lin Xuan frowned slightly; this was the first time he had never been able to see through a junior's situation.

"What? Senior Xuanhuang, are you not even going to grant Lingji this small request?"

Mu Lingji looked at Lin Xuan and fell silent. Suddenly, she pouted her sexy little mouth and said something.

As expected of the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, who could resist her pitiful appearance?
Even women find it hard to stand!

"Master, please accept Sister Lingji as your disciple."

Lin Qingwu looked at Lin Xuan and suddenly spoke.

Lin Qingwu had only one thought in her mind: Mu Lingji was like a fairy, so beautiful.

Zhou Moxi, Ouyang Qingluo, and the other girls also developed feelings for Mu Lingji without knowing why.

Lin Xuan was deeply moved. He hadn't expected this woman to have such a powerful charm that appealed to both men and women!

"Since that's the case, I won't say much more. As long as you agree, Mr. Baima, then I naturally have no problem with it."

Lin Xuan smiled at Bai Ma, but in his heart he really hoped that Bai Ma would refuse.

Although Mu Lingji was as beautiful as a fairy, she gave Lin Xuan a feeling that he couldn't see through, which was not a pleasant feeling for him.

It's a feeling of being out of control, especially since the person you can't control is a junior.

Mu Lingji immediately turned her gaze to Bai Ma.

Bai Ma glanced at Lin Xuan, then at Mu Lingji who was staring at her, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha~"

"Clan Chief Lin, since my disciple has said so, what can I, as his master, say? I hope that Clan Chief Lin can accept me as his disciple, whether it is to let him become Clan Chief Lin's master, or to let him do odd jobs for Clan Chief Lin, or even to be a maidservant, it is all up to Clan Chief Lin's mood."

Bai Ma's words left Lin Xuan speechless.

Have these guys from the Hehuan Sect gone mad?

Their own holy daughter was sent out to be someone else's maid...

What kind of master or patriarch would do something like this?!

Even Mu Qianqian, who was standing next to Mu Lingji, was dumbfounded. What kind of situation was this? Her own monstrous little niece had volunteered to become someone's maid.
Especially since the ancestor actually agreed, were both of them seriously injured or possessed?
Lin Xuan felt his mind churning when he heard these words.

"Let's forget about being disciples, since Miss Mu is already Mr. Baima's disciple."

"Of course, there's no need for you to be my maid," Lin Xuan quickly added.

"Miss Mu..."

“Senior Xuanhuang, please call me Lingji, after all, I am a generation younger than you.”

Mu Lingji looked at Lin Xuan with a grin and said.

Lin Xuan smiled helplessly upon hearing this.

"Alright, then I'll call you Ling Ji. Here's what we'll do: Ling Ji, you'll cultivate with Lin Fan, Chang An, and the others in my Lin family, and you'll enjoy the same resources as the direct descendants of my Lin clan."

"If there's anything I don't understand, can I ask Senior Xuanhuang for guidance at any time? After all, my request is to follow Senior Xuanhuang, not to stay in the Lin Clan."

Mu Lingji's lips curled up slightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling, revealing a playful side.

Lin Xuan was stumped by this question and couldn't come up with a good answer even after thinking for a long time.

“Father, since Miss Mu has said so, then let’s leave Qing Garden to Miss Mu.”

Lin Fan suddenly stood up and made the suggestion.

"Qinghuayuan, what's that?"

Mu Lingji looked at Lin Fan and asked, puzzled.

Lin Fan smiled and explained:

"The courtyard where my Lin clan chief resides is called Bamboo Willow Palace. Qinghua Courtyard is right next to Bamboo Willow Courtyard, less than a mile away."

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Mu Lingji and Lin Fan hit it off immediately and booked their accommodations right away.

Lin Xuan chuckled to himself, "What kind of situation is this?"

Bai Ma squinted his old eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips.
