Chapter 985 - 989: Throwing the Embroidered Ball for Marriage

The little one came back to her senses from cultivating, grabbed a drumstick and started eating, and Wu Tian sighed.

"What’s wrong?" Qin Yuhan couldn’t help asking,

"Look, if our daughter keeps eating like this, will she turn into a pig in the future?"

As soon as Wu Tian said that,

"You..." The little one suddenly stopped biting the drumstick, her whole body froze there like a stone statue.

"Baby, what’s wrong?" Qin Yuhan hurriedly picked the little one up. Everyone looked at her cute yet aggrieved little face and all laughed.

"Yeah, what’s wrong?" Wu Tian asked with a smile, wanting to reach out and take the little one from Qin Yuhan’s arms,

Who knew, the little one refused: "Go away! So once I get fat, you’ll start disliking me..."

"Pfft..." Qin Yuhan and the others were stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

Then they all looked pitifully at Wu Tian, wanting to see how he would handle the little one.

"How could that be? Even if you get fat, Dad will still dote on you." Wu Tian said at once.

"Are you still my dad? You actually said I’ll get fat in the future?" The little one was even more aggrieved.

Wu Tian: "..."

Did he say something wrong?

He had no idea.

Qin Yuhan laughed.

Wu Tian,

Your emotional intelligence is a complete disaster!!!!

Wu Tian was helpless and could only sit there quietly.

The little one, seeing that Wu Tian wasn’t coming to coax her, also lost interest and went back to eating and drinking.

This was one of Wu Tian’s clever moves for dealing with the little one,

"Master, I have found two people who have already awakened their past lives and can immediately Return to Position."

Just as Wu Tian picked up a piece of chicken and was about to put it in his mouth, the voice of the Investiture of the Gods sounded in his ear,

He hadn’t expected two to show up at once?

Could it be Sharp-Hearing Ear and Clairvoyant? Or maybe the Snorting and Roaring Vajras?

It might also be Ananda and Kashyapa!

"Which two?" Wu Tian asked the Investiture of the Gods with his heart-voice.

"Name: Daoist Ziyang"

"Cultivation: Mystic Sect First Grade!"

"Race: Daoist"

"Cultivation Technique: Purple Qi Comes From the East Art!"

"Loyalty 90!"

"This life’s experience: Comprehending the Dao in the mountains, suddenly awakened his past life, and specially descended the mountain..."

..."Name: Li Yuanba!"

"Human Clan!"

"Name in this life: Xiao Se!"

"Cultivation: Martial Emperor Ninth Grade!"

"Strength: Power beyond Four Dragon Elephants!"

"Weapon: Drum Urn Golden Hammer!"

"Mount: Ten-Thousand-Mile Misty Cloud Canopy!"

What?

Daoist Ziyang?

And that Li Yuanba who hated Heaven for not giving him a handle and hated Earth for not giving him a ring, and in the end got struck dead by lightning?

Wu Tian was a bit surprised. Did they also count as Immortals?

The Investiture of the Gods seemed to know what Wu Tian was puzzled about and said, "Daoist Ziyang and Li Yuanba have been mythologized in all kinds of novels and legends. For instance, Li Yuanba is rumored to be the reincarnation of the Great Roc Jin Chi. You get it now, right?"

"It’s like Bao Zheng—someone built temples for him, and he became a Daoist through incense worship. Even in novels and legends, King Yan calls him ’Star Lord’ when he sees him!"

Wu Tian was somewhat amazed when he heard this,

Indeed, by that logic, Daoist Ziyang and Li Yuanba really could be regarded as members of the Heavenly Court,

Achieving the Dao through incense?

Interesting,

Very interesting!

"Where are they?" Wu Tian asked.

"Human City. At this moment, they are heading toward an inn."

...In an inn one street away from "There Is an Inn,"

Ye Qingxian was on the roof eaves, cultivating the Wind and Cloud Overbearing Scripture,

While Ding Xiangjun was on the first floor of the inn drinking tea, but the more she thought about Ye Qingxian ignoring her, the more displeased she became, and her mood gradually turned irritable,

"Do you all know that I have a junior sister as beautiful as a flower? She’s going to throw an embroidery ball today."

She couldn’t hold it in anymore. She knew it was ridiculous, but Ding Xiangjun still blurted out as usual without thinking.

She didn’t know any of the diners here,

None of them,

But as soon as she said this,

The diners couldn’t help but start talking among themselves.

"Is your junior sister pretty?"

"Could it be that Heavenly Immortal–like girl who checked in with you just now?"

"My god, is she really going to throw an embroidery ball?"

The diners thought of Ye Qingxian, who had checked in with Ding Xiangjun just now. Even the old men started breathing faster.

Ding Xiangjun smiled faintly. She didn’t dare say that the one throwing the embroidery ball was Ye Qingxian, because if Ye Qingxian really took action, she was absolutely no match for her,

So she could only say vaguely, "Don’t worry, my junior sister is very beautiful."

She didn’t say it was Ye Qingxian,

But she deliberately let people misunderstand that it was Ye Qingxian,

She wanted to ruin Ye Qingxian’s reputation.

This news spread quickly and soon reached the City Lord’s Mansion.

Lin Kongxin loved beautiful women the most,

And once he heard this news,

"Good. In the future, if there’s anything like this, you must inform me first thing. I’ll reward you handsomely."

Lin Kongxin’s words made the hoodlum who’d come to report the news overjoyed.

Before leaving the mansion, Lin Kongxin thought of something and frowned slightly at a servant: "Where’s my father?"

"Young Master, don’t worry, the Lord is in the studio and hasn’t come out yet," the servant said. "You can go take care of your own affairs with peace of mind."

"Whew." Lin Kongxin let out a breath of relief before leaving the mansion at ease.

He absolutely couldn’t let his father know about what he did,

Fortunately, his father went to the studio once every few days.

He kept saying there was a scroll left by their ancestor Lin Xibei in the studio that the head of the household in later generations had to look at constantly,

Lin Kongxin had zero interest in calligraphy and painting. Since he was a child, forget paintings, just seeing copybooks gave him a headache.

So he had no idea what that scroll depicted.

He didn’t want to know either.

...Ding Xiangjun had at first only wanted to vent her mood with a few sharp words, but unexpectedly,

In no time at all, there was a huge crowd outside the inn,

"When’s the embroidery ball being thrown?"

"Hurry up."

"This old man’s still waiting to buy candy for my grandson. Where’s the ball? How come I don’t see it?"

"..."

The scene was so heated that it scared Ding Xiangjun silly. She knew her loose tongue had gotten her into trouble. Now, she wanted to explain that it had all been a misunderstanding,

"Has it started?"

But right at that moment, Lin Kongxin arrived. If the commoners didn’t get out of the way to make a path, they were beaten,

Lin Kongxin and his soldiers had come.

Lin Kongxin gave Ding Xiangjun a once-over, his eyes lighting up. He’d heard that this woman’s junior sister was even more beautiful than her,

Thinking of that, Lin Kongxin grew anxious in his heart.

"Why haven’t you started yet?" Lin Kongxin asked.

Ding Xiangjun also knew who Lin Kongxin was. The Nine Heavens Pavilion had already investigated all the information when they came to Human City on business.

Ding Xiangjun wanted to say it was just a joke. But she knew that would definitely infuriate Lin Kongxin, and then the Nine Heavens Pavilion would become enemies with Human City, even with the Human Daoist Sect.

"I’ll use the sword in my hand as the embroidery ball. Whoever catches it will be my junior sister’s man." At this point, Ding Xiangjun had no choice but to say that.

Lin Kongxin nodded, then looked coldly around and shouted, "Today, whoever dares compete with this young master, I’ll cripple him. I’ll also burn his house down and even dig up his ancestral graves."

Once he said that, the crowd parted.

"Master, look at this man—he’s even more unreasonable than I am." At this moment, a domineering voice suddenly rang out, like a clap of thunder exploding in everyone’s ears.
