Ling Lili immediately followed Yun Fan to the Yun family's reception room, where she saw the Yun family head, Yun Xiunian, exchanging pleasantries with Ling Jingfeng.

"Grandpa!" Ling Lili called out happily.

Ling Jingfeng turned his head and saw Ling Lili. His gentle smile deepened, and he said softly, "Lili, come here quickly."

Ling Lili quickly walked to his side and obediently called out, "Grandpa."

Ling Jingfeng nodded slightly: "Yes, as soon as you sent the message, Grandpa put aside the sect's affairs and rushed over. Since you and the Yun family boy are both here, we settled the engagement. Whether it comes to fruition or not, we'll have a definite answer."

Yun Xiunian nodded in agreement, saying, "Sect Leader Ling is right, Fan'er. This marriage was originally arranged by your grandfather and Sect Leader Ling. You have also trained together for two years, so you must know each other quite well."

Although she was the one who invited her grandfather over, Ling Lili thought that her grandfather would at least have to chat with the Yun family head for a while. Unexpectedly, she got straight to the point as soon as she arrived. Her efficiency was really high.

Upon hearing Ling Jingfeng and his father's words, Yunfan's wonderful mood, which had been brought about by his time with Ling Lili, instantly plummeted to rock bottom. What was bound to happen had finally arrived.

Yunfan spoke first, saying, "Father, Sect Master Ling, I like Lili and naturally want to become her Daoist partner, but... if Lili is unwilling, I will respect her choice." After saying that, he looked at Ling Lili hopefully.

He knew in his heart that Ling Lili didn't like him. Maybe she had feelings for him but not love, but he still hoped that she would choose him, even though the hope was slim, at least that's how he saw it.

Ling Jingfeng nodded, somewhat satisfied with Yun Fan's answer, and asked Ling Lili, "Lili, what about you? What are your thoughts? If you want to break off the engagement, that's fine too." At worst, he'd just give the Yun family some resources. What's the big deal? Could it be more important than his granddaughter's happiness?

All eyes were on the girl, waiting for her decision.

Ling Lili shook her head and said seriously, "Grandpa, the engagement doesn't need to be dissolved, and I want to become Daoist partners as soon as possible."

Everyone present was surprised; they had all prepared to break off the engagement, but it turned out they weren't.

Ling Jingfeng and Yun Xiunian were both worldly-wise, so neither of them showed any surprise on their faces.

Only Yunfan was struck by a huge surprise, his mind going from shock to disbelief, and finally to ecstasy.

He grasped Ling Lili's hands tightly: "Lili, thank you. You believe me, and I promise you won't regret your decision today. From now on, if you say east, I will never go west. The first time I saw you, I thought you were the most adorable woman I had ever met..."

She had so much to say, but Ling Lili ruthlessly interrupted her, "Okay, I understand. We can talk about it later." Forgive her, she really couldn't bear to hear these words in front of both sets of parents; she felt inexplicably ashamed.

Ling Jingfeng glared at Yun Fan with hostility: "Yun family brat, I'm warning you, if you dare to betray Lili, don't blame me for disregarding the friendship between our two families." Ever since Ling Lili finished speaking, Ling Jingfeng had disliked Yun Fan.

In just two years, he actually managed to abduct his own granddaughter. Although he always knew that they would become Daoist partners sooner or later, it was not this fast. He was furious. It was his own doing, which made him even angrier. He could only endure it.

Before Yun Fan could even make a guarantee, his father, Yun Xiunian, immediately declared, "Sect Master Ling, rest assured, if this boy dares to do anything to betray Lili, you can beat him to death without any repercussions."
