"Uncle Saint, please don't misunderstand me."

Xingyuan shook his head. "The reason I hesitated just now was only because what I was going to say later would involve the content that I promised to keep secret for you guys. There was no other meaning."

After hearing these words, Sheng Lingxin's expression became slightly solemn.

However, Xingyuan, who was eager to prove himself, ignored it and continued to talk to himself: "If I have to choose between Cai'er and you, I will definitely stand on Cai'er's side.

Since she is determined not to reconcile with you, you don't have to think about starting from my side. I won't help you.

Of course, you have raised me, and I also know how great the strategic significance of Cai'er is to the Assassin's Temple, so I can also swear to you here in the name of the Dragon of the Continent, Silena, that I will not do..."

"Hehehe."

A familiar laugh came from behind, interrupting the oath that Xingyuan was about to make.

"Lord Palace Master."

Because this is the front line of the exorcism, Sheng Lingxin did not directly call Sheng Yue "grandfather", but saluted him respectfully.

With Shengyue's cultivation and strength, even if he stood next to Xingyuan's ear, as long as he didn't emit any breath, Xingyuan would not be able to detect his existence at all, not to mention that the other party was just eavesdropping.

"...I have met the Lord Palace Master before."

Turning around and seeing Shengyue who was already close at hand, Xingyuan almost blurted out the word "great-grandfather". Fortunately, Sheng Lingxin next to him spoke before him, so he quickly changed his words.

"What are you doing?"

Sheng Yue blew his beard, pointed at his rough white robe with his remaining left hand, and said angrily: "I am here to talk to you two as an elder, not as the master of the Assassin's Temple."

"Especially you Lingxin, if you like to be serious it's your business, don't affect Xingyuan."

After Sheng Yue finished scolding Sheng Lingxin, he turned to look at Xing Yuan and said, "Kid, just call me great-grandfather. Don't be afraid even if there are outsiders around. When you have concerns, just call me Palace Master. I will understand as soon as I hear it."

"…Well, thank you, great-grandfather."

Shengyue noticed that Xingyuan was still paying attention to the injury on his broken hand, but he didn't care too much.

After explaining his position to Xingyuan, Shengyue looked at Shenglingxin again, "How about it, Lingxin, are you satisfied with your son-in-law?"

"To reply to Grandfather, I am naturally more than satisfied."

Sheng Lingxin nodded, and then changed the subject, "The only pity is that Cai'er doesn't want to hold her and Xingyuan's wedding in Exorcist City."

“Not holding it has its advantages as well.”

Shengyue was more open-minded than Shenglingxin. Of course, it was also possible that what Caier said at that time really broke the old man's heart.

"Xingyuan is now the most valued magician in the Magic Temple. Li Zhengzhi, that shameless guy, cultivated magic that has nothing to do with Xingyuan, but he still accepted him as his personal disciple. If we really organize the wedding of Xingyuan and Cai'er, we have to inform him as the teacher, so that it can be justified in front of him. It's really too much trouble."

But why shouldn't we do something like this just because it's troublesome?

Sheng Lingxin thought to himself, it was a pity that his grandfather Sheng Yue had already said so much, how could he refute the other party's words? "Okay, if you don't want to get married, then don't get married."

As the oldest elder in the Sheng family, Sheng Yue made the decision directly. "As long as Xingyuan's sincerity towards Cai'er is more sincere than Zhenzhu's, all other formalities are unimportant."

There was a strange expression on Sheng Lingxin's face. He obviously had not expected that such words would come from the mouth of his grandfather.

"Alright, let me, an old man, answer your remaining questions. Don't bother Xingyuan anymore. It's not easy for him to be caught between us and Cai'er for so many years. There's no need to affect his practice and his relationship with Cai'er because of our family's problems."

"Great-grandfather, I..."

Xingyuan found that he could not speak. It turned out that Shengyue had pressed acupoints on his body and used spiritual power to seal his vocal cords.

……

Sheng Yue only glanced at Sheng Lingxin casually, and the other party quickly returned to his previous respectful and cautious appearance, "Grandfather, please speak."

"Cai'er's eyes have healed."

Sheng Yue walked around Sheng Ling Xin, came to the handrail of the terrace, and said calmly: "Although there is no evidence, I think it must be Xing Yuan who helped her pass the test of the reincarnation furnace."

"what?"

Ignoring Sheng Lingxin, whose eyes widened as if he had heard great news, Sheng Yue just looked at the source of the stars.

"This is also the reason why Xingyuan hesitated just now, because he promised Cai'er that he would keep the fact that she had recovered her eyesight a secret from us."

The expression on Xingyuan's face did not seem too surprised.

After all, with the means of her great-grandfather, even if Cai'er took three layers of insurance and blinded her eyes with the pure purifying power in the reincarnation furnace, she would most likely not be able to escape Shengyue's sharp eyes.

"As for your suggestion that if Cai'er becomes a useless person who can't take care of herself one day, we should ask Xingyuan to return her to us, I have also asked him about this before."

Shengyue did not give Xingyuan and Shenglingxin a chance to speak, and continued talking to himself.

"I remember that he said at the beginning that he would not let this happen and would search the entire continent for a way to crack the Samsara Spirit Furnace. But if things really developed to that point, then at most he would just take care of Cai'er for the rest of her life. I've confirmed that he is very determined, at least more determined than you promised me that you would secure your position as the military chief of Exorcist Pass."

"…Thank you, Grandfather. I understand."

Only then did Xingyuan realize that rather than saying Sheng Lingxin was looking for him to have a talk, it would be more accurate to say that this was the last test of his son-in-law.

"It's none of your business. Go back."

Feeling a warm current flowing through his body via the merit token on his left forearm, Xingyuan felt a lot more comfortable, and he felt a bit like the glory he had when he was a top-grade potion master.

Now that everything had been said, Xingyuan bowed to Sheng Lingxin and Sheng Yue, then returned to their dormitory where Sergeant No. 1 was.

Although the merits have been almost settled, even if they don't win the merit reward for the team championship, they will have more than enough merits to advance to the general level in the remaining two months. However, Xingyuan has not given up the idea of ​​winning the championship. (End of this chapter)
