Rebirth of the soul rekindles the dream of the beauty of the country

Upon hearing this, Ru Long was taken aback. He wondered to himself why the old Taoist Guiyi was suddenly asking about this. Was he checking his background? With that thought, Ru Long decided to keep his background as simple as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Ru Long composed himself and replied, "Reporting to the sect leader, this disciple has always focused on cultivation and has never had a Daoist partner."

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest was secretly pleased, but he didn't show it on his face. He continued to press, "Oh? Do you have a girlfriend?"

Ru Long hesitated slightly, thinking that this old Taoist Guiyi was really something, asking questions over and over again. However, he had to hide the truth: "This disciple has always been a rogue cultivator, and I'm afraid no woman would be interested in this disciple."

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist Guiyi smiled and said, "I don't think so. Perhaps your standards are too high?"

Ru Long was somewhat at a loss for words when asked the question. He didn't know how to answer and could only give an awkward smile.

Seeing this, the old Taoist Guiyi stopped asking questions and changed the subject, saying, "Rulong, what do you think of your senior sister Chen Xin?"

Ru Long was puzzled. Why would Master Guiyi ask Senior Sister Chen Xin for no reason? He certainly wouldn't introduce Senior Sister Chen Xin to a boyfriend. After all, he had heard that Master Guiyi valued Senior Sister Chen Xin highly, and Senior Sister Chen Xin was a beauty of unparalleled grace and would not lack suitors. Why would Master Guiyi introduce a newcomer like himself, whom he knew little about and who was not particularly outstanding, to her?

Despite his many doubts, Ru Long didn't dwell on them. He simply replied casually, "Senior Sister Chen Xin is a beauty of unparalleled grace, with extraordinary talent and profound cultivation; she is truly outstanding."

However, to Ru Long's utter surprise, his words provoked a tremendous reaction from the old Daoist Guiyi. Guiyi's face lit up with joy, and he excitedly said, "That's good! Then I'll arrange for Chen Xin to marry you, how about that?"

Ru Long was taken aback, thinking, "What's wrong with this old Daoist Guiyi? Am I really that outstanding? Or does the old Daoist Guiyi not value Senior Sister Chen Xin?" He already had a harem of wives and concubines, and now he had an important matter to attend to, requiring him to act as an undercover agent. Not wanting to implicate innocent people, Ru Long asked, "Sect Master, is this Senior Sister Chen Xin's intention?"

However, Master Guiyi said, "I decide!" His tone was firm and resolute, as if he had not considered Senior Sister Chen Xin's thoughts at all.

Ru Long thought to himself, "A higher rank can crush a lower one; this is practically an imperial marriage. But is this how a sect leader behaves? It's far too domineering."

Ru Long looked troubled and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid Senior Sister Chen Xin won't be willing. If she's willing, then I naturally have nothing to say. But if she's unwilling, how can I force her to marry me? Wouldn't that go against my principle of being an upright person?"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist Guiyi nodded slightly, indicating his understanding of Rulong's concerns. He then transmitted his voice to his disciple: "Go and summon Chen Xin to the Guiyi Great Hall."

Before long, Chen Xin rushed over. As soon as she entered the main hall, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank the old Taoist Guiyi, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Master, for lifting our punishment of facing the wall. This disciple is deeply grateful. May I ask why Master summoned this disciple here today?"

Chen Xin's gaze had already swept around the main hall, and she naturally saw that Ru Long was also present. She knew that Ru Long was now a disciple of the Guiyi Sect, and since the two of them were here with the sect leader, the sect leader must have something important to tell them.

As expected, the old Taoist Guiyi got straight to the point: "Chen Xin, I have decided today to betroth you to Rulong. Rulong has no objection to this. Once an auspicious day is chosen, I will hold a wedding ceremony for the two of you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin was struck dumb, her face filled with astonishment. Her eyes widened as she stared incredulously at the old Daoist Guiyi, and she roared angrily, "Sect Master, Master, how could you make such a hasty decision on such an important matter? You didn't even ask for my opinion! I absolutely disagree with this marriage; I already have someone I love!"
