"Big... big brother, am I seeing things?"
"That convoy... doesn't it look like the Lin family's?"
Lin Kaiyun, standing beside him, also widened his eyes as he looked at the convoy, his voice trembling slightly.
It was understandable. In the capital, the Long family's status was exceptionally unique!
Not only were they one of the ten great aristocratic families of Long Country, but they were also the most renowned artifact refining family in the entire Long Country.
Such a transcendent status was absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary powers!
No wonder the person in the car dared to curse Xiao Jianguo. It turned out to be someone from the Long family!
"Our Lin family is truly going to soar this time!"
Looking at the convoy parked at the entrance, Lin Kaishan swallowed, his expression filled with joy.
If the head of the Xiao family coming to the Lin family for a ceremony could guarantee the Lin family's prosperity for the next century, then the presence of the Long family head here now directly meant that the Lin family had already gained the opportunity to ascend to the ranks of a first-class aristocratic family!
As long as one more person broke through to the Half-step Nascent Soul realm, they would directly become a true first-class aristocratic family.
And his name, Lin Kaishan, would echo throughout the entire Long Country. This was undoubtedly a matter of immense glory!
"Patriarch Lin, you remember what you promised me just now, right? Don't change your mind so easily because of someone!"
However, just as Lin Kaishan was contemplating the future development of the Lin family.
Xiao Jianguo, standing beside him, approached Lin Kaishan again, a smile on his face.
As far as Xiao Jianguo was concerned, the reason he arrived at the Lin family in advance and discussed the engagement with the current head of the Lin family was because he knew the Lin family head had a good son!
At just over twenty years old, he had actually refined the legendary Qingxin Pill, making him undoubtedly a person with boundless prospects!
Moreover, this Qingxin Pill had completely cleared Patriarch Long's ailments, making him a great benefactor to the Long family.
Such a talent was something any major power would want to win over.
And now, by bringing his granddaughter personally to the Lin family to set up an engagement, he hoped to finalize the matter before Patriarch Long arrived.
This way, no matter what tricks Patriarch Long tried to play, he would surely be one step behind!
"Yes, yes, yes, Patriarch Xiao, please rest assured, I will certainly keep it in mind!"
Hearing Xiao Jianguo's repeated reminders, Lin Kaishan's heart bloomed with joy.
Now, even the esteemed head of the Xiao family was repeatedly reminding him about the engagement. This clearly showed the importance both the Xiao family and the Long family placed on him, a third-grade alchemist.
Otherwise, with the Xiao family's status and position, they would absolutely not stoop so low as to bring their granddaughter for a marriage alliance!
The only possibility was that the Xiao family saw his future potential and was actively trying to win him over.
For Lin Kaishan, this was undoubtedly a colossal stroke of good fortune.
"Xiao Jianguo! You old fossil, what are you doing here?"
Upon exiting the car, Patriarch Long directly went to Xiao Jianguo's side, his expression filled with anger.
If Xiao Jianguo had simply appeared here, Patriarch Long might not have reacted so strongly.
But as a Nascent Soul stage expert, he had already noticed Xiao Yun standing beside Xiao Jianguo!
This Xiao Yun was Xiao Jianguo's most beloved granddaughter.
She was quite a renowned beauty in the entire capital.
There were no small number of people who wanted to pursue Xiao Yun!
But for so many years, Xiao Jianguo had doted on this granddaughter so much that he had never given any suitor a chance, regardless of who came to propose.
Yet now, he had personally brought Xiao Yun to the Lin family, which definitely meant something fishy was going on!
"Hmph, Long Xiaotian, I'm here to get acquainted with my in-laws. Do you have any objections?"
Hearing Patriarch Long's words, Xiao Jianguo's heart was overjoyed.
Fortunately, he had arrived at the Lin family in advance and had arranged the engagement with the Lin family head. Otherwise, if Patriarch Long had arrived first, he would have been completely helpless!
"What? In-laws?"
Hearing Xiao Jianguo's words, Patriarch Long's eyes widened, and his expression was filled with disbelief.
Earlier, in his excitement, he had told Xiao Jianguo about Lin Chen's matters, intending to share his joy.
But he never expected that Xiao Jianguo would then rush to the Lin family and now address him as in-laws, implying something that was obvious!
But before, when Lin Chen and Long Yuling were together, Patriarch Long had also noticed that there was a special relationship between them!
Although it hadn't been explicitly stated, Long Yuling and Lin Chen were indeed a couple!
Now, Xiao Jianguo was repeatedly calling him in-laws. What had happened? Could it be that Lin Chen, that brat, had done something to betray Long Yuling?
"Yes! In-laws!"
"Xiaotian, let me introduce you. This is the Lin family head."
"Just now, my granddaughter Xiao Yun has become engaged to his son."
Xiao Jianguo then patted Lin Kaishan's shoulder with a smug look and introduced him to Patriarch Long.
He himself had also noticed that Long Xiaotian, besides bringing his two sons, had also brought a woman whose appearance and demeanor could be described as peerless.
Without a doubt, Patriarch Long's intention now was the same as his.
Both wanted to win over the current Lin family through a marriage alliance!
But it made sense. An alchemist who could refine the Qingxin Pill in his early twenties undoubtedly had a future development potential no less than the current Pill King of Long Country!
If they could win over Lin Chen now, before he fully developed, then when Lin Chen truly matured, the benefits would surely be greater!
"What? Engaged?"
Hearing this, Patriarch Long's eyes widened. He instinctively looked back at Long Yuling behind him. Long Yuling had told him about her relationship with Lin Chen on the way.
Although they had never openly revealed it, both sides had already consummated their relationship.
It could be said that his granddaughter had already become Lin Chen's woman in the true sense of the word!
But now, he was engaged to another woman, which truly astonished Patriarch Long.
Could it be that the grandson-in-law he had finally chosen was a scoundrel who abandoned women after use?
"Patriarch Lin, come on, quickly tell Patriarch Long, did we just get engaged?"
Seeing Patriarch Long's astonished expression, Xiao Jianguo felt even more convinced that his decision was correct.
Looking at Patriarch Long's expression and the direction of his gaze,
Without a doubt, the other party intended to use his granddaughter to win over Lin Chen, but he had been beaten to it!
