Jia Xu said, "I have heard that Lü Bu has a daughter in Jiuyuan, Bingzhou. Perhaps our lord could ask for her hand in marriage for Prince Zijian."

After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao found the plan feasible and then asked, "Who could be sent as an envoy?"

Chen Qun volunteered, saying, "My lord, I am willing to go."

Not long after, Cao Cao sent Chen Qun to accompany Cao Zhi to Yanmen Pass to propose marriage, with Yang Xiu also in the process.

When they arrived at Yanmen Pass, Lü Bu happened to be there and hosted a banquet for them.

As the overlord who unified the north of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was someone even Lü Bu did not want to clash with.

"May I ask what brings you here, Young Master Cao?"

Cao Zhi was too embarrassed to speak, but Chen Qun said, "Reporting to Marquis Wen, we have come here to propose marriage for Young Master Zhi."

Perhaps because Lü Bu was too powerful, he had no children other than Lü Lingqi over the years.

He knew exactly what Lü Lingqi was thinking.

But this father and daughter also have a love-hate relationship.

Lu Bu did not refuse, but said, "Alas, my daughter is a bit willful and capricious, I'm afraid she is not good enough for Young Master Zhi."

Chen Qun laughed and said, "Lord Wen, you flatter me. I have long heard that Miss Lü helps those in distress and punishes the strong and weak in Jiuyuan City. How could she be a willful and capricious person?"

Although Lü Lingqi is skilled in martial arts and cannot kill, she can still uphold justice.

Over the years, she, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and Yuegui have done quite a few of these things, and Yuegui has finally found something fun to do.

The two Qiao sisters are twin beauties, but Lin Zhu doesn't find it surprising; there are octuplets in the group too!

In the Chenxuan Realm, the quadruplets Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju still remain in the Earthly Cave Heaven.

Although they weren't in the chat group, they still ascended to the Chenxuan Realm together with Xiao Meiniang and the others, mainly because they were given enough resources.

However, ascending to the Pangu Realm requires more than just accumulating resources.

The four now keep Ming Yuanqing company.

After hearing about Lü Lingqi's story, Cao Zhi was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he became even more interested in her, saying, "Miss Lü is also kind-hearted and has a sense of justice."

Lu Bu noticed the appreciation in her words.

Lu Bu said, "I've heard that Young Master Zhi is a man of great talent, while my daughter only knows how to wield a spear and a staff. How can we possibly get along in the future?"

Yang Xiu chimed in from the side, laughing, "If that's the case, Miss Lü and Young Master Zhi would be a perfect match, one skilled in martial arts and the other in literature."

“Indeed, that’s exactly right.” Chen Qun asked, “Could it be that Marquis Wen feels that Young Master Zhi is not good enough for your daughter?”

Lu Bu shook his head, secretly amused, but said on the surface, "I'm not afraid to admit it, but I can't control my daughter. It was agreed before that she would decide her own marriage. If Young Master Zhi is interested, he can go to Jiuyuan in person."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qun was overjoyed. "Is what Marquis Wen said true?"

Lu Bu nodded and said, "That's true."

After receiving a positive reply, Chen Qun was overjoyed. He thought that with Cao Zhi's appearance and literary talent, how could he not win over a mere woman?

So, after spending the night at Yanmen Pass, they immediately headed south to Jiuyuan the next day.

That day, Lin Zhu was lounging on a recliner, with Cai Wenji playing the zither beside him, Chang'e and Zhen Mi dancing in front of him, and Ren Hongchang peeling grapes and feeding them to him. He was having a wonderful time.

Even a god wouldn't trade this kind of life for it!

Lin Zhu was thoroughly enjoying himself.

It was only because Yuegui went off to do chivalrous deeds with Lü Lingqi and the two Qiao sisters.

Lin Zhu has developed a supernatural power over the past few years that can keep the laurel tree a hundred million miles away from him.

That's why I finally have time to enjoy life.

After cultivating for most of my life, this is the only time I can finally enjoy myself.

In contrast, Liu Bei had only just settled down and it wasn't time for him to enjoy life yet.

Cao Zhi, Chen Qun, and Yang Xiu's main force had already found out Lü Lingqi's address and were outside the courtyard.

But upon hearing Cai Wenji playing the zither, Cao Zhi ordered his men to stop.

He also stopped at the corner to admire it, looking completely absorbed.

Chen Qun and Yang Xiu were also musically literate, and they listened attentively with Cao Zhi.

As soon as the music ended, there was a knock on the door. "I am Cao Zhi, Cao Zijian, who came from Yanmen to pay my respects to Miss Lü Lingqi."

Chapter 862 Cao Zhi's Disappointment

At this moment, Lü Lingqi, Yuegui, and the two Qiao sisters had just taught the bully a lesson, crippling him half to death, and then sent him to the government office.

The Jiuyuan government was helpless against Lü Lingqi; her martial prowess was too high, and the city's formations couldn't suppress her.

Even if the bully had connections, the Lord of Jiuyuan City had no choice but to handle the matter impartially.

If he doesn't handle it, then he'll be the one who gets dealt with.

Lu Lingqi was unaware that she had been tricked by her father. It seemed she would have to go to Yanmen Pass again this year to cause Lu Bu some trouble.

In the courtyard, Lin Zhu heard a knock on the door and got up to open it.

Chang'e and the others returned to their rooms.

The women in the household are not comfortable receiving guests.

When the courtyard gate opened, Cao Zhi and the other two saw Lin Zhu and immediately froze on the spot, their hearts pounding.

Cao Zhi, in particular, might have even conceived the draft of the Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River just from the thought that she was the one he was proposing to.

However, as expected of the daughter of the God of War, she likes to dress as a man. Her chest is bound very realistically, and she is no different from a man. Her shoulders are also a bit broader and her height is a bit taller.

But nothing else matters in the face of this face.

"I am Cao Zijian, and I greet Miss Lü." Cao Zhi was very proactive this time.

Yang Xiu felt extremely envious; Cao Zhi had such a good father!

Lin Zhu had quite a bit of experience with being mistaken for someone else, so he wasn't angry. After all, he was almost a thousand years old.

“Young Master Cao, you have mistaken me for someone else. I am not Lü Lingqi.”

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, wondering how the person in front of him could not be Lü Lingqi.

"Also, I'm a grown man, so I'll bring my glasses when I go out in the future."

Inside the room, Chang'e and the others burst out laughing when they heard this.

Cao Zhi, Chen Qun, and Yang Xiu were utterly dumbfounded; how could this person possibly be a man?

Cao Zhi had also met Lady Zou and Lady Du, but compared to Lin Zhu, one was in heaven and the other was on earth.

How can someone like this be considered a man?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Cao Zhi couldn't control his emotions and blurted it out.

Yang Xiu muttered, "Looking like this, I don't think it's that important whether it's a man or a woman."

Lin Zhu was about to explain to Cao Zhi when he heard Yang Xiu's words. He paused for a moment, then kicked forward, yelling, "Get the hell out of here!"

This kick sent Yang Xiu flying hundreds of miles.

Fortunately, the surrounding area is farmland with no houses, otherwise Linzhu would have lost money.

Cao Zhi felt that Yang Xiu's words made sense after being reminded, but when he saw Lin Zhu kick Yang Xiu so far away, he chickened out.

Lin Zhu's eyes flashed coldly as he looked at Cao Zhi and Chen Qun and said, "Listen carefully, I'm male and I like women, so don't look at me like that. Also, Lü Lingqi is out and hasn't returned yet, so do as you please."

At this time, Lü Lingqi already possessed the cultivation level of a True Immortal, so she could still handle Cao Zhi and the others.

Outside of the battlefield, these few people are really no match for Lü Lingqi.

When Lin Zhu looked at them like that, Cao Zhi and Chen Qun felt as if their eyes had been slashed by a sharp blade, and they dared not look at him at all.

Lin Zhu turned around and went into the inner courtyard with a gloomy expression.

Fortunately, Chang'e, Ren Hongchang, Cai Wenji, and Zhen Mi were not very outgoing people, otherwise they would have burst out laughing by now.

But when they saw Lin Zhu, they still smiled.

"Laugh, what are you laughing at?"

Lin Zhu was a little annoyed and stepped forward to teach them a lesson.

Chang'e is probably billions of years old, and the youngest Zhen Mi is already twenty, an age where she can be disciplined.

"Oh, Sister Chang'e, save me!"

The three of them hid behind Chang'e and played a game of eagle catching chicks with Lin Zhu.

For a moment, the room was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

Cao Zhi and the others looked at each other outside the house.

What is this scenario?

The courtyard is indeed the Lü family's courtyard, but the residents are not right; there must be women inside.

Cao Zijian was confused and looked at Chen Qun, who was equally confused.

At this moment, Yang Xiuzheng lay in the farmland, questioning his existence. 'He actually dared to kick me?'

Just then, a man ran over from a distance and shouted, "Lianniang, stop kicking me! I was wrong!"

Several children nearby said, "Yan Kun, don't dodge! A beating is a sign of affection, and scolding is a sign of love. When love is deep, you kick! Look how much Lian Niang loves you!"

Yang Xiu looked at the footprints on his chest and thought, 'What did he mean by kicking me this far?'

Even he, the most adept at solving riddles in Cao Cao's camp, couldn't figure it out at this moment.

Although the kick didn't seriously injure him, it did cause him to lose his breath, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

After a long while, soldiers came and helped him up. "Registration Officer Yang, are you alright?"

Yang Xiu weakly waved his hand, "I'm fine, are you alright, young master?"

The two soldiers replied, "Young master is fine and is currently waiting for Miss Lü to return in the courtyard."

As dusk approached, it was already twilight.
