"Xiao Bai, your breakthrough is impressive." Li Lin's gaze landed on Li Xiao Bai. In a month and a half, the aura emanating from Li Xiao Bai had already reached the sixth level of the Martial Soul.

"Thank you, young master." Li Xiao Bai gratefully said. The breakthrough was so fast, entirely thanks to the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit given by the young master, otherwise, he couldn't have made such a quick breakthrough.

Several hours later, in the small hall of the courtyard, Li Lin's eyebrows raised slightly, having just learned from Li WuShuang and Li Xiao Bai that Li Shao Hu had returned to the Li family, and even Zhao Qing Tian and Zhao Qing Hai had arrived at the Li family.

His gaze turned cold, and a hint of chill crossed Li Lin's lips, fretting about how to deal with the Zhao family, this was an opportunity delivered to the doorstep.

"What are you planning to do, you little thief?" Yun HongLing looked at Li Lin, feeling the chill surrounding him, seemingly also feeling a bit frightened.

"What do you think the expressions on Zhao WuJi's face and the Zhao family's face would be if Zhao WuJi's two precious grandsons were to die outside?" Li Lin said lightly, a slight smile appearing on his face.

"Lin'er, are you planning to take action at the Li family?" Li WuShuang said, "I'm worried that after you kill Zhao Qing Hai and Zhao Qing Tian, it will provoke a crazy retaliation from the Zhao family."

"No matter if I provoke the Zhao family or not, Zhao WuJi has always wanted to put me to death. Shi YunSheng is already an example. Now, it's my turn to counterattack." Li Lin said with a slight smile.

"Little thief, then I'll help you. It's not good for you to face them alone." Yun HongLing said. She didn't care about the Zhao family; she would not be polite to anyone who wanted to harm her man.

"HongLing, you don't need to take action. I have my ways." Li Lin said lightly, "But there's no hurry, let's wait until tonight."

"Then be careful." Li WuShuang said.

"Young master, I have invited the lord and the lady here." At that moment, Li Xiao Bai's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"WuShuang, we happen to have time today, let's talk to uncle about it." Li Lin looked up with a smile and said to Li WuShuang.

"Mm!"

Li WuShuang responded lightly, obviously knowing what Li Lin wanted to say, her cheeks suddenly blushing.

"Lin'er, did you call me and your aunt here for something?" Three figures then arrived in the small hall.

"Uncle, aunt, please have a seat." The arrivals were Li Dong and Mrs. Huang. Li Lin then said to Li Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai, please invite the lady over."

"Young master, please wait." Li Xiao Bai immediately ran to the inner hall to invite the lady.

"Dad, Mom." Li WuShuang approached Li Dong and Mrs. Huang, her face even redder, looking somewhat cute.

"WuShuang, why is your face so red?" Mrs. Huang looked at Li WuShuang lovingly, a trace of puzzlement crossing her eyes. Li Dong and Mrs. Huang had no children of their own, so they treated Li WuShuang as if she were their own, always loving her dearly.

"Mom, I'm fine." Li WuShuang said softly, her voice almost inaudible.

"Mom." Outside the small hall, Yun HongLing greeted Mrs. Luo Lan, already going forward to meet her.

"Lord." Mrs. Luo Lan entered the small hall, surprised to see Li Dong and Mrs. Huang there.

After Mrs. Luo Lan sat down, Li WuShuang's face became even more flushed, her beautiful face lowered to her chest, her hands fidgeting with her clothes, looking somewhat awkward.

"Mom, uncle, aunt, I have something to tell you," Li Lin said to the three.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

"Lin'er, just speak your mind." Li Dong looked at Li Lin, then at his daughter's expression, seeming to guess something.

"Lin'er, you're not planning to leave again, are you?" Looking at Li Lin, Mrs. Luo Lan immediately asked.

"Mom, uncle, aunt, WuShuang and I plan to get engaged, and we hope you agree," Li Lin said lightly.

"What?"

Hearing this, Li Dong, Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Luo Lan, and Li Xiao Bai were all surprised, their gazes then falling on Li Lin and Li WuShuang.

"Dad, Mom, Third Aunt, WuShuang and I ask for your blessing," Li WuShuang said, biting her lip and stepping forward to stand beside Li Lin, addressing Li Dong, Mrs. Huang, and Mrs. Luo Lan.

At this moment, the three looked at each other, all very surprised, but then they each smiled. Li Dong was the first to say, "You two kids, we thought it was something serious. You being together, we couldn't be happier."

"WuShuang, I've always wanted you as my daughter-in-law, but back then, I knew Lin'er wasn't worthy. Now, it's good that you've come together on your own," Mrs. Luo Lan said with a slight smile, then looked at Yun HongLing, "HongLing, WuShuang and Lin'er..."

"Mom, WuShuang sister and Lin'er are already together, so you don't have to worry about me being unwilling," Yun HongLing said.

"You two kids, you should have told us earlier. You being together, I'm also relieved," Mrs. Huang said with a slight smile to Li WuShuang, "A few days ago, your dad and I were still talking about finding you a match. Unexpectedly, you found one yourself. Next time, don't keep things from your parents."

"Mom." Li WuShuang shyly approached Mrs. Huang, glancing at Li Lin from the corner of her eye, feeling relieved in her heart.

"Lin'er, since you're getting engaged, I'll prepare, announce to the whole town, the Li family will have a feast for three days," Li Dong laughed.

"Uncle, that's not necessary. I don't like the fuss, and I'd rather not notify the others," Li Lin said lightly. He had no interest in such festivities.

"Then it's up to you, but we still need to notify the Li family members," Li Dong said.

Deep into the night, Li Lin stopped his cultivation, a cold light in his eyes.

"Lin'er, be careful," Yun HongLing said softly.

"Don't worry." Li Lin pursed his lips in a smile, then walked out of the room. The little dragon, still small in size, continued to hover over Li Lin's shoulder. In the small hall, Bai Ling, also in her reduced size, was already waiting.

A man and two beasts instantly appeared on the continuous courtyard of the Li family, silent, causing no disturbance.

"Bai Ling, is there a way to not attract anyone's attention?" A moment later, atop a courtyard, Li Lin communicated with Bai Ling.

"My strength can seal a small area of space. Those weaker than me should not be able to detect it. You can act without worry. Actually, killing a third-level Spirit General and a second-level Martial General, I could do it instantly. Why bother making it so complicated?" Bai Ling's voice in Li Lin's ear, her small body instantly turned into a beautiful white shadow, a seductive fragrance spreading around.

"I have use for them alive. Killing them directly would be letting them off too easily," Li Lin said coldly, his gaze fixed on a courtyard ahead, the chill beginning to spread.

"Both are inside." Bai Ling informed Li Lin as he looked toward a courtyard ahead.

"Let's do it." As Li Lin's words fell, a whirlwind flashed under his feet, and at the same time, his figure turned into a shadow appearing inside the courtyard.

"Who..." Instantly, a shout came from the courtyard, followed by two figures leaping out.

"We meet again." Li Lin stood with his hands behind his back, quietly standing in the courtyard, staring at the two figures in front of him, one in a white luxurious robe and the other in a blue robe, a young man, with a cold indifference undisguised in his eyes.

"Li Lin." The two, looking at the two figures that had arrived, looked at each other, panic starting to rise in their eyes. These two were the Zhao family's Zhao Qing Tian and Zhao Qing Hai brothers.

The two had been at the Li family for a month but had seen Li Lin for the first time. They thought Li Lin had been killed by Shi YunSheng, but arriving at the Li family, they learned that Li Lin had returned long ago, which made them uneasy.

Knowing their strength was no match for Li Lin, they feared Li Lin would act against them. However, in the Li family, they felt safe, believing Li Lin wouldn't dare to act against them here, which would bring trouble to the Li family. Just waiting a little longer, once the Zhao family's strong members arrived, everything would be resolved.

Seeing Li Lin appearing in the middle of the night, they immediately felt panicked. If Li Lin really acted against them, they would be in trouble.

At that moment, observing Li Lin and Bai Ling, their stunning beauty breathtaking, they wondered why such beautiful women always surrounded this young man. With their strength, they could feel the powerful aura emanating from this stunning woman, certainly very formidable.

"Li Lin, what do you intend to do?" Zhao Qing Tian asked with a hint of unease.

"How is it? You wanted to kill me for a quick resolution, now I feel like you're a bit scared," Li Lin said with a light smile, mockery in his smile.

"Li Lin, this is the Li family. If you dare to act rashly, my Zhao family will definitely level your Li family to the ground," Zhao Qing Hai said with a stern look.

"Ha ha," Li Lin laughed, his gaze amusingly fixed on the two, saying, "First, the Li family being leveled to the ground has nothing to do with me. Second, if I kill you two now, no one will know."

"Li Lin, if you dare to act recklessly, my Zhao family will not let you go," the two's faces paled, already feeling the increasingly strong chill from Li Lin. They had seen Li Lin's ruthlessness before, and now, a cold fear spread from the depths of their hearts, their bodies slowly retreating, looking around as if thinking of escaping.
