After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

Having seen countless women in his previous life, Lin Fengmian could tell at a glance the difference between this woman and fairies like Nangong Li and Chu Qingyi.

Those fairies were beautiful, but they mostly had a cool and aloof demeanor, as if they were untouched by worldly affairs.

Gu Qingge, on the other hand, is like a drawn sword, sharp, flamboyant, and possessing a wild beauty that makes people want to conquer her.

At this moment, Gu Qingge was also sizing up Lin Fengmian.

Lin Fengmian was handsome with striking features and a striking appearance.

Although his pure Yang body seemed to be suppressed by the rules of this world at first, now that Lin Fengmian has started cultivating the "Great Sun Floating Pagoda Technique," his aura is as powerful as a dragon and as fierce as a tiger.

The pure yang energy began to emanate again, no longer feeling as if the whole body was sealed off as when it first transmigrated.

He stood there, wearing an ill-fitting coarse cloth robe, yet his vigorous blood and scorching yang energy shone through.

Like a blazing sun in winter, it makes you want to get closer.

The only thing that made him uneasy was that he still couldn't sense the space within his jade pendant.

That thing seemed to be completely blocked by this world; no matter how he tried,

There was no response. This made Lin Fengmian feel a little anxious, but he didn't show it on his face.

Gu Qingge became more and more satisfied as she looked at him. When she felt the abundant blood and energy emanating from him, a hint of surprise flashed in her peach blossom eyes.

She parted her red lips slightly, and spoke with a mixture of scrutiny and curiosity:

"With such abundant vital energy, could he be the legendary Divine Bloodline Holder?"

Legend has it that several ancient powerful beings left behind their bloodline descendants in the Phoenix Cry Kingdom, among whom the one with the most concentrated bloodline is known as the "Divine Blood One".

These people are born to practice martial arts; their physiques far surpass those of ordinary people, and their blood and energy flow like a dragon. Once discovered,

They would all be personally introduced by the royal family to the Imperial Household Department, enjoying unparalleled glory. Could it be that the other person also possesses this bloodline?

Gu Qingge looked at Lin Fengmian with increasing satisfaction, as if she were looking at a rare treasure.

She withdrew her gaze, picked up her teacup again, took a small sip, and then asked:

"Young Master Lin, do you remember what your hometown is?"

Lin Fengmian shook his head, a perfectly measured bitterness on his face: "I come from the Northern Border."

During this time, he wasn't just lying in bed recovering from his injuries; he had already done a thorough review of the history, geography, and political situation of this area.

He knew that north of Fengming Kingdom was a wild and desolate land occupied by wild beasts, and the identities of the refugees who lived and struggled to survive among those beasts were impossible to trace.

His fabricated background was so airtight that even if the other party sent people to investigate, they couldn't find any flaws.

Gu Qingge's face grew brighter and brighter as she listened.

The other party had a clean identity, no background or connections, was so handsome, and had such outstanding talent and vitality; it was as if the heavens had tailor-made her.

She put down her teacup, her peach blossom eyes looking directly at Lin Fengmian, her tone as calm as if announcing something utterly ordinary:

"Good, very good. Young Master Lin, you have a very good chance of becoming my official husband."

What the heck? The official husband?

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian felt a strange unease. Why did this name sound so off?

"Official wife and husband? What kind of nonsense is this? He's a grown man, a pillar of society, and it sounds like he's going to marry into a wealthy family as a submissive wife."

Seeing this, Qiu Mei covered her mouth and chuckled, then happily explained to Lin Fengmian:

"Young Master Lin, you don't know yet, do you? Today is the annual husband selection banquet in Qingyun County! On this day, all the famous young ladies in Qingyun County will attend the banquet and bring their fiancés to meet everyone and have their opinions on their merits."

My young lady usually looks down on those ordinary, vulgar women, so over the years, she's always just made a brief appearance and left.

This is the first time my young lady has brought a entourage to a husband-selection banquet. So, Young Master Lin, you mustn't embarrass my young lady this time!

She spoke playfully, but there was a hint of seriousness in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian's lips twitched.

What is that?!

Laozi is a legendary figure, the Holy Son of the Joyful Union Sect, who has reached the Golden Core stage in Qi Refining and the Nascent Soul stage in Foundation Establishment, and is the dream lover of countless young women on the Xuan Tian Continent!

How can I be led around and judged like a submissive wife?

But then I thought about it again. I was new here and didn't know anyone. Staying here all the time wasn't a good idea.

Go and see just how deep the waters are at that husband-selection banquet; it could be a good opportunity to get to know this place.

Gu Qingge seemed to notice the strangeness in his expression, so she put down her teacup and spoke calmly but with a hint of respect:

"Does Young Master Lin have something he is unwilling to do? If not, I, Gu Qingge, will not force you."

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the rage within him. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Gu Qingge had at least saved my life, and for the past two weeks she had been treated to good food and drink and hadn't made things difficult for me.

Turning against him now would be unreasonable and morally wrong. Besides... to be honest, she's his type, so it doesn't seem like he's at a disadvantage.

Thinking of this, he straightened his expression, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Gu is too kind. It is my honor, and I accept."

Qiu Mei leaned closer and whispered something to reassure him:

"Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, the way Miss looks at you is different; she would never exchange you! You are the first man Miss has ever truly looked at!"

Lin Fengmian internally screamed: "You can even trade?! Your Fengming Kingdom is really playing dirty tricks!" But outwardly, he just chuckled.

However, this improved his impression of Gu Qingge. Although she was a bit domineering, she had good taste and was quite upright, at least knowing how to respect other people's wishes.

Seeing her so open and honest, Lin Fengmian trusted her more.

Seeing Lin Fengmian agree, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Gu Qingge's eyes, and her tone softened considerably:

"Very well. Since you are about to become my man, Gu Qingge's man, I naturally cannot diminish my reputation."

As she spoke, she took out an ancient-looking manual from her bosom and handed it to Lin Fengmian.

"I observe that you have a special physique and vigorous blood and qi. This 'Ninefold Mountain-Crushing Force' is a secret technique that my Gu family does not pass down. You should take it and practice it diligently."

Lin Fengmian took the manual, flipped through it casually, and was immediately shocked.

Good heavens! The power generation techniques and artistic conception contained in this fist technique actually coincide with ancient combat skills, making it of extremely high quality!

Even in the cultivation world, it would definitely be a top-tier body cultivation method!

Combined with his pure Yang holy body and the foundation of the "Great Sun Floating Pagoda Technique", its power is absolutely terrifying!

This would be perfect for concealing the aura of his cultivation technique. Suppressing his elation, he solemnly replied, "Thank you, Miss Gu!"
