Disbelief

"T-this…" None of those present in the hall dared to believe their ears. It was truly impossible, after all.

After all, how could their clan's most ordinary Youngest Miss possibly draw the esteemed Twelve-Suns Eldest Young Master's fancy?

"C-could you please repeat that, Twelve-Suns Eldest Young Master?" The Lunar Patriarch's eyes bulged forward as he took the young man's hands into his.

"I am here to meet my fiancée!" Tang Zixin reaffirmed.

The Lunar Patriarch's old heart shook, and the Lunar First Elder was in utter disbelief. What he had heard outside was true and not a dream?

"Little Ying, still not coming to greet your fiance?" The Lunar Patriarch roared as he hastily put on the most welcoming smile he had ever shown to anyone. "Young Master, please do make do and treat our shabby abode as your home. What is ours is naturally yours!"

Seeing their esteemed Lunar Patriarch trying to shamelessly curry favor with a junior, everyone in the room was speechless but none of them blamed him.

Because, in the capital, this Twelve-Suns Eldest Young Master was one of the greatest prodigies of his era and generation!

It was even possible for him to reach the legendary Saint realm in the future.

Quickly, a figure that he had seen every day in the past for many years appeared before his eyes once more, following her were many white-bearded elders with flattering expressions.

"Y-Young Master…" Han Ying meekly greeted while curtsying, revealing her snowy-white kneecaps. She, though not outstanding, was definitely a beauty in her own right.

Now that he had finally seen her again, an extremely warm feeling washed over Tang Zixin's heart, but he did not know what to do from here.

What happened next astonished the old, experienced clansfolk, especially the little girl's father, the Lunar First Elder.

"E-ek." Han Ying fearfully closed her eyes when she saw a large hand nearing her face.

"Just call me Brother Xin." Tang Zixin smiled, inwardly thinking, "En, quite soft to touch. I will do this more in the future."

Were their eyes playing tricks?

The Lunar First Elder was in dismay, "He's rubbing my daughter's head like she's a pet puppy."

But that was not too bad. Even if she was to be a pet puppy, she would definitely be the most fortuitous pet puppy in the whole kingdom.

Realising that she wasn't going to be hit, Han Ying finally had the time to take a clear look at the extraordinary young man in front of her.

In every aspect, he was definitely a part of the most outstanding category, and his clear doting eyes puzzled her.

"I-is the Young Master mistaking me for someone else?" Han Ying murmured.

"Hahah." Tang Zixin loudly laughed, scaring all the elders. Then suddenly, his peach-blossom eyes turned serious as he chided her, "Don't joke like that."

Tang Zixin had expected this, but he was still very disappointed as he sighed to himself, "What did I expect, how could it have been possible for her to return with me?"

This was enough, however. He could not be too greedy.

"Erm, Young Ma-" This small flash of emotion had gone unseen to everyone except the petite Han Ying, which had just confused her even more.

Was her crush… perhaps crazy?

"What did I say? Call me Brother Xin." Tang Zixin cut her off while poking her soft waist again.

"Brother Xin… umm, what is my name?" No matter, Han Ying still promised that she would love him all the same as she made a small fist while fiercely nodding to herself.

"Hm?" Tang Zixin raised his brow.

"Han Ying, the Young Miss of the Lunar Moon clan, a rather large merchant clan in the capital." Tang Zixin thought for a moment and did not stop as he continued, "And…"

"The beloved fiancée of I, Tang Zixin, the Twelve-Suns Eldest Young Master." The young man before them did not even give the old hearts in the room any space to breathe.

"You are my future wife, and I will never take another in the future, not even a concubine." Tang Zixin made a solemn vow as he proclaimed to the heavens. "If I tell a single lie here today, may the heavens bear witness and strike me to death."

In the Boundless Xia World, a cultivator's vow and oath had to be kept, otherwise nothing but death and hardship would await them.

A cultivator's vow to the heavens could never be taken lightly!

As if acknowledging his vow, the grey clouds shook as loud raindrops began to pour over the Lunar Moon clan.

"E-Eldest Young Master." The Lunar Patriarch was shaking.

Han Ying's mind, amongst all the confusion, was a storm and her heart threatened to pound out of her chest. What woman did not dream to have a strong and talented man all to herself?

But that dream in a world like this was far too unrealistic. Even if her outrageous request was fulfilled and she somehow married into the Twelve-Suns Manor, Han Ying dared not hope for herself to be the sole spouse of the house.

In this Lin Dynasty and the Great Boundless Xia World, even the slightly wealthier men had a concubine or two in addition to their wife—not to mention cultivators.

For example, the Lunar Patriarch had three wives and many more concubines. A promising young genius like the Twelve-Suns Eldest Young Master would definitely have countless more in the future.

Yet he had just made such an outrageous promise?

"You've concealed yourself well, my beloved daughter." The Lunar First Elder flashed a doting smile at her daughter, even if she promised and vowed that she had no connection with the Twelve-Suns Eldest Young Master he would not believe it now.

All his grievances toward his daughter had long but disappeared. The Lunar First Elder could not hide his smiles as he walked forward behind the young couple. "Good, good."

"Han Ying will definitely not look at anyone else either." The young petite girl vowed with hearts in her eyes.

"I believe you." Tang Zixin grinned as he waved his white sleeves. In this world, there were not many people worthy of his trust, but she was definitely one who deserved it all.

Soon enough, a gentle white light formed a translucent sphere around Han Ying, who naturally did not resist his energy.

Tang Zixin, as a top genius of his time, would do many things on a whim. There was nothing he did not dare to do. That was at least until he had met that bastard.

"Hmph. Wait until I teach you a lesson, bastard." Tang Zixin's attitude had toned down over the many years of defeat, but he was still confident. "I don't believe that you can defeat me again after I have returned to the past."

"Everything that belonged to you will become mine in this era!"

Great characters with indomitable might would not scheme in the shadows. With enough strength, whatever he did would be the law. In the Boundless Xia World, it was those without enough status and power who resorted to being calculative while scheming with vicious plots.

Who would bother scheming against an ant when you could just pinch it to death?
