Lin Xuankong did this, of course, to make Guang Yu’er become one of his wives, children, elders, and youngsters, thus instantly obtaining Guang Yu’er’s insights into cultivating the Guangqing Cold Extreme Skill and Guangqing Illusion Technique, acquiring her cultivation level in these techniques. After all, doing so could save Lin Xuankong thousands of years, and combined with the nearly hundred years he spent cultivating within the New Luo Water Array, Lin Xuankong effectively managed to cultivate for over twenty thousand years, achieving the perfection realm in both the Guangqing Cold Extreme Skill and Guangqing Illusion Technique!

Yet, Guang Ling’Er and Guang Yu’er were oblivious to Lin Xuankong’s intentions!

Over the past year, the girl Guang Ling’Er mentioned several times to Guang Yu’er about the time when Guang Yu’er promised Lin Xuankong to call him husband! This little girl from the Guangqing Immortal Sect had a quite complex mood, feeling that Lin Xuankong’s actions were rather sudden and rushed upon the fair lady, while also sensing her senior sister Guang Yu’er was a bit straightforward in agreeing to Lin Xuankong. Additionally, she harbored an inexplicable emotion—it was all quite complicated!

However,

at this moment, seeing Lin Xuankong again after a year, Guang Yu’er’s mood was equally complex.

Initially, when Guang Yu’er received the message from Lin Xuankong, she felt both embarrassed and pleased.

Embarrassed because, as the foremost genius among numerous disciples of the Guangqing Immortal Sect, her eyes had always been set high, with almost all cultivators of her generation feeling ashamed to even attempt a confession; no one of the same age has ever expressed affection for her. Despite being a true disciple of the Guangqing Immortal Sect already over tens of thousands of years old, her emotional world remained as blank as a young girl’s, suddenly required to call someone as husband, how could she not feel shy.

As for the joy... over a year ago, when the Profound Yin Demon Sect’s army was on the verge of attacking the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, with twenty thousand demon soldiers, eighty Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact level Demon Generals, along with a thirty-six Tribulation Demon Lord Purlo, what a terrifying lineup that was! Even among the strongest Immortal Lords standing atop the Immortal Realm, those ranking lower might not have been able to repel this force!

Yet,

the Lin Xuankong in front of Guang Yu’er was the one who turned the tide, achieving astonishing continuous feats, employing remarkable Path of Array Formation and Path of Artifact Refining to slay demons, pushing back the armies of the Profound Yin Demon Sect and the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lord. This terrifying accomplishment was made possible by a mere Earth Immortal at the Third Grade Realm!

At that time within the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, countless cultivators and Earth Immortals were completely won over by Lin Xuankong’s outstanding achievements and demeanor!

And such unparalleled talent in refining and array formation, such unrivaled genius who stirred the entire Immortal Realm, attracting attention from numerous Earth Immortals and Strong Immortal Lords, and the entire Profound Yin Demon Sect’s first genius of the Immortal Realm, yet he actively requested ’help’ for Guang Yu’er to call him husband—Guang Yu’er couldn’t help but be delighted, and a little proud!

Due to these occurrences, Guang Yu’er didn’t hesitate much before agreeing to Lin Xuankong, lending him this ’help’!

However, to Guang Yu’er’s surprise,

since she sent a message using the Communication Jade addressing Lin Xuankong as husband,

nearly a year had passed, yet Lin Xuankong remained in seclusion, never leaving the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage even once, as if forgetting that outside the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage, within the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, there was his ’Beautiful Lady’!

It seemed,

the Lin Xuankong in front of her,

asking Guang Yu’er to call him husband, was truly just a rather special ’help’, having nothing to do with affection, companionship, or ’being together’!

Therefore, over the past year, Guang Yu’er’s mood has been very complex, unable to calm down even while cultivating.

At this moment, seeing Lin Xuankong again, gazing upon the first genius of the Immortal Realm before her, past events inevitably flooded her mind.

Of course,

Lin Xuankong now meeting this female Daoist from the Guangqing Immortal Sect felt somewhat awkward himself.

After all, even if she was considered an ’old’ woman having lived over tens of thousands of years, she was still a woman. When he initially proposed that she help with such a task, his intention to cultivate the Guangqing Cold Extreme Skill and Guangqing Illusion Technique was somewhat abrupt! Even though he clearly stated back then that it was just a favor, offering a Second-Grade Immortal Artifact as compensation, this favor was different from others!

Additionally, having Guang Yu’er from the Guangqing Immortal Sect help him allowed him to instantly gain her insights and realm into over tens of thousands of years of cultivating the Guangqing Cold Extreme Skill and Guangqing Illusion Technique, enabling his master, Immortal Lord Luoshui, to win over Qiaan Yuan Daoist in that bet! Calculating this way, he had Guang Yu’er help him and thus defeated her own master... which was somewhat not quite respectable!

Especially now, seeing the shy expression of the attractive female Daoist Guang Yu’er, Lin Xuankong was well aware that asking Guang Yu’er for help had indeed disturbed this genius disciple of the Guangqing Immortal Sect... Tsk-tsk, the misunderstanding has significantly escalated!

But these matters related to the miraculous talent of his Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate, he couldn’t directly explain them!

Thinking about this, Lin Xuankong felt awkward and, facing this true disciple Guang Yu’er of the Guangqing Immortal Sect, somewhat unsure of what to say or do!

Thus,

outside the imposing, gigantic conference hall, shrouded in clouds and mist, rich in spiritual aura, at the entrance of the hall, a group of people quietly gazed at each other and fell silent!

Meanwhile, the clueless Medicine Immortal Qu Wan’Er, White-forehead Qilin Bai E, Cyan-forehead Qilin, and Sect Leader Li from Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect all looked at Guang Yu’er, Guang Ling’Er, then at Lin Xuankong, utterly confused about what had transpired between Lin Xuankong and these two genius disciples of the Guangqing Immortal Sect!

A short while later,

Guang Yu’er gazed at the somewhat awkward Lin Xuankong, and gradually felt some resentment, her brows lightly furrowed, she began to speak:

"Yu, here congratulates Mr. Lin on exiting seclusion!

Currently, within the conference hall, numerous strong Immortal Lords seniors, and seniors from various top Immortal Sects, are discussing matters on how to deal with the Profound Yin Demon Sect’s army. Furthermore, those strong Immortal Lords seniors and seniors from various sects are waiting for Mr. Lin to emerge from seclusion too!"

Saying this, Guang Yu’er lifted her eyes, staring at Lin Xuankong with a hint of resentment in her eyes and softly said: "Mr. Lin is currently highly renowned in the Immortal Realm; your Path of Artifact Refining and Path of Array Formation are admired by those strong Immortal Lords seniors... compared to Mr. Lin, Yu with such meager talent is truly insignificant, akin to dust compared to stars! The matter from a year ago, Yu will only consider it as Mr. Lin asking for help, will not take it to heart, and won’t mention it to any outsiders, ensuring it won’t affect Mr. Lin’s good reputation, so please rest assured, Mr. Lin!"

Upon hearing this from Guang Yu’er,

Lin Xuankong felt even more awkward.

He was never the type to seek favor, looking down on others condescendingly, and in regards to emotions, he wouldn’t measure them by reputation, cultivation level, and so forth; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been together with Second Lady Zhao Yufei, especially since he was confident in achieving the Martial Dao Ninth Grade Realm in the future!

Yet, that incident from a year ago... compounded by the words of Guang Yu’er before him, she clearly had misunderstood him! Surely thinking that he just casually teased her at the time, surely wondering—calling her Little Sweet a year ago, now being so indifferent?

Moreover, that Guang Yu’er was clearly affected by the incident, impacting her mindset, tsk-tsk!

Alas, women indeed are troublesome, emotions should never be trivial; not every woman is as open-minded as the Artifact Refining Genius Miss Xiao, wholeheartedly dedicated to the Path of Artifact Refining, never concerned about romantic entanglements of men and women!

However, at this kind of moment, he found himself at a loss for how to console her!

Headache, really a bit of a headache, what coincidental timing, just upon exiting seclusion encountering her!
