Nonsense! How could my adopted son be a villain?

Although they reached an agreement on the goal, Lan Jian's reaction greatly displeased the cub.

Youyu frowned and pressed on, "Then what does elder brother plan to do?"

Lan Jian looked at the cub and pursed her lips: "What do you want to do?"

The cub was very anxious and said, "Of course we should hurry up and make Brother Lingguang our sister-in-law."

He pondered for a long time and said, "I think that when humans pursue someone they like, the first thing they do is treat that person very well, extremely well. They think of the other person when it comes to good food and fun things, and they often give gifts to please them. Over time, the relationship will naturally improve."

Lan Jian thought about it and realized that he had done all of these things, but Xu Lingguang was always unwilling to accept the things he gave him.

Lan Jian was also very distressed, but he naturally couldn't tell the little boy about these frustrations and anxieties, so he just hummed in agreement.

Youyu continued to ponder: "And another thing is... we must eliminate all potential enemies."

Thinking of the unusually attentive Ni Xuan, the cub said, "We can't let those people with ulterior motives get close to Brother Lingguang, so he won't be taken away."

Lan Jian deeply agreed, but how to implement the plan to eliminate potential enemies was a difficult problem.

If he forcefully prevents Xu Lingguang from associating with Ni Xuan, and Xu Lingguang feels that he is interfering too much and becomes unhappy, it might backfire and push the person further away.

Lan Jian thought for a moment and felt it was necessary to hear the little one's opinion: "How do we rule it out?"

The cub looked thoughtful, and after pondering for a long time, it said, "First, we'll make the potential enemy give up on their own; second, we'll leave Brother Lingguang with no time to deal with him!"

Lan Jian's eyes lit up.

Originally, I only listened to the little boy's opinion with the idea of ​​giving it a try, but I didn't expect that Youyu, who is not very old, would make suggestions that sound much more useful than what Siyuan said.

He reflected on it and realized that the reason why his attempt to pursue Xu Lingguang by referencing Si Yuan had failed was because Si Yuan had not won over Liu Zhu even until his death.

I followed his advice, but naturally, I saw no results for a long time.

We could try a potentially risky approach.

He had many ways to get Ni Xuan to give up; Lan Jian just had a quick thought and came up with several methods.

He smiled gently, patted the little boy's head, and said softly, "I understand, don't worry."

Youyu immediately perked up: "When can Brother Lingguang become our sister-in-law?"

The little brat was too anxious. Although Lan Jian himself was also very anxious, he still comforted him, saying, "Don't rush, take it one step at a time."

Youyu secretly curled his lip, feeling somewhat disapproving.

If we proceed slowly, how long will it take?

However, the eldest brother has his own rules, and they can also figure out their own solutions.

Maybe Brother Lingguang will be willing to become their sister-in-law out of respect for them.

So Youyu obediently agreed and decided to go and discuss it with the other cubs.

On the other side, Xu Lingguang was unaware that the little ones were plotting how to turn him into their sister-in-law. After arriving at Liuyun Yazhu with Ni Xuan, he was surrounded by curious alchemists and couldn't get away.

Ni Xuan invited a total of six alchemists to the gathering.

The two were disciples of Ding Fen of the Flying Cloud Sect. They were twin sisters, one named Lian Hua and the other Lian Ye. They were both exceptionally beautiful and were both Earth-level alchemists.

The other four are Bi Yichun, the youngest son of Elder Zhou of the Sanqing Sect; Yang Luo, the third disciple of the sect leader of the Wuyun Sect; Gong Fengyue, the eldest son of the Gong family of Liuguang City; and Shen Tu Li, the youngest daughter of the Shen Tu family of Fufeng City.

Including Xu Lingguang and Ni Xuan, there are a total of eight people.

Of these eight people, apart from Xu Lingguang, none of them were over a hundred years old. They were all outstanding alchemists among the younger generation, and their cultivation levels were also quite similar. In addition, their teachers had frequent interactions, so they were already very familiar with each other.

Only Xu Lingguang came later.

In addition, Xu Lingguang was previously unknown, but suddenly appeared in the Pill Refining Competition and became famous. There were people who admired and were curious about him, but there were also people who were not convinced.

"I've finally met the real person."

The Lian sisters, Lian Hua and Lian Ye, were lively and cheerful, and were the first to show their goodwill to Xu Lingguang.

The sisters' master was Ding Fen, who had always been on good terms with Fu Jiyu. Naturally, they also had a good relationship with Ni Xuan. Whether out of respect for Ni Xuan as the host or because of their master's instructions before they came, the two sisters did not feel any jealousy or disgust towards Xu Lingguang.

Moreover, his younger sister Lian Ye seemed to have a special fondness for Xu Lingguang. Not only did she linger around him, but she also gave him a thorough and unabashed look. After looking him over, she sincerely praised him, saying, "I heard that you are over a hundred years old. I thought you would be a decrepit old man. I didn't expect you to be so handsome. No one mentioned such an important matter. I almost didn't want to come."

Compared to her older sister Lian Hua, she was more delicate and petite. Although she was already a high-level alchemist, her demeanor and mannerisms were like those of a young girl. Especially when praising someone, her expression was sincere and genuine, making it hard for anyone not to like her.

Xu Lingguang blushed slightly at the straightforward praise and didn't know how to respond to her teasing, so he could only give her a polite and courteous smile.

Lian Hua patted her sister and said, "Take it easy. Master Xu seems shy. Don't scare him away."

Xu Lingguang's ears turned a little redder.

While watching the commotion, Ni Xuan pulled him to sit down next to her and said to Lian Ye, "You'd better tone it down a bit. Don't you have enough romantic entanglements already?"

Lian Ye rolled her eyes at him before obediently sitting down next to her older sister, Lian Hua.

Only then did the others finally get a word in.

"Master Xu is a bit older than us, so I'll call him Brother Xu." The speaker was Yang Luo from the Five Elements Sect. He was tall and thin, and quite handsome, but compared to the handsome men and beautiful women in the room, his appearance inevitably paled in comparison.

He cupped his hands in greeting to Xu Lingguang and asked curiously, "I heard today that Brother Xu has refined eighteen batches of Grade 6 pills in just three hours, and each one is unique. It is truly admirable, and also very intriguing. With such strength, how come you were completely unknown before? Was it intentional?"

Yang Luo's demeanor and tone were very polite, but his words sounded somewhat strange and unclear.

Xu Lingguang frowned, but still said politely, "I am just a wandering cultivator in the mountains. I used to stay in Qingyu City more often and never went out to explore."

Yang Luo exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Xu is actually a rogue cultivator? No wonder, no wonder."
