**Chapter 401: Out of Sight, Out of Mind**

**Chapter 401: Out of Sight, Out of Mind**

Zhao Ling continued to wait at the gate of the mansion for a while and saw the clan leaders of the four single-attribute sects under his command coming together. After walking in front of Zhao Ling, the four of them congratulated him simultaneously.

"My Lord, I, Baihe (Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, and Tai Tan), wish you a happy wedding..."

Bai Chenxiang followed behind her grandfather, and after the four elders finished congratulating him, she skipped over to Zhao Ling and said softly, "Brother Ling, congratulations on your wedding, but you must not forget the agreement you made with Xiang'er. When Xiang'er grows up, you must marry her; otherwise, Xiang'er will hate you for the rest of her life."

Hearing this, Bai He's old face darkened. His granddaughter was truly hopeless. She had fallen in love with the master at first sight since she was a child. Now that the master was getting married, she still didn't know how to restrain herself. Titan, Niu Gao, and Yang Wudi looked at Zhao Ling with teasing eyes. They wanted to see how the master would react, to see if he would shamelessly nod and agree.

Zhao Ling felt the teasing gazes of the three and coughed a few times before speaking to Bai Chenxiang. "Xiangxiang, now is not the time to say this. Your grandfathers are still here..."

"I'm not afraid. So what if Grandpa and the others know?" Bai Chenxiang snorted and replied righteously. "Brother Ling, you're not going to go back on your word, are you? You made an agreement with Xiang'er, and that day, Sister Bing'er also heard it."

After saying that, Bai Chenxiang began to search around. After seeing Shui Bing'er, she ran to her happily and pulled her to Zhao Ling. "Sister Bing'er, did Brother Ling promise us that day that he would marry both of us when we grow up?"

Shui Bing'er, who had been admiring Zhao Ling's handsome face from a distance, was suddenly dragged in front of him by Bai Chenxiang, making her a little confused. But when she heard Bai Chenxiang's question, she nodded subconsciously.

"That's right. Brother Ling promised that he would marry me and Sister Xiang'er when we grow up."

After hearing this, Bai Chenxiang said to Zhao Ling with satisfaction, "Brother Ling, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. You promised us both, and you are not allowed to break your promise."

Shui Bing'er echoed, "That's right! Brother Ling can't go back on his word. You are a dignified Demon Suppression Douluo; how can you do such a thing as going back on your word?"

When Bai He heard what his granddaughter said, his face became even darker, and he wanted to say something to her. Please, my dear granddaughter, how many people come in and out of the door of this mansion? Don't you know it yourself? You don't care about face, but your grandfather still needs to maintain his dignity? Look at Grandfather Tai, Grandfather Yang, and Grandfather Niu; their faces are almost cramped from laughing. And those passersby—do you really want to anger your grandpa to death?

Many passersby who were coming in and out saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh that this Demon-Suppressing Douluo was indeed a bit of a beast. He was famous for having many female confidantes, with at least a dozen of them. But now it seemed that this Demon-Suppressing Douluo had more than a dozen beauties. Just in the past few moments, four or five young girls had come to the wedding scene, saying they wanted to marry him. No one knew if there would be more later. Why was this Demon-Suppressing Douluo so popular? It really made people envious and jealous.

After Zhao Ling said a few perfunctory words to the two, he quickly had them all invited into the mansion and only then did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Oh my God, if there were more little girls like this, I would be envied to death by others.

Zhao Ling had just breathed a sigh of relief when Dugu Bo came up to him, raised his hand, and gently patted him on the shoulder, speaking softly. "I will leave my granddaughter to you from now on. Please don't let her suffer any injustice."

"Well... don't worry, there's no way I'd let her suffer any injustice," Zhao Ling assured him, nodding and patting his chest.

"I hope not. However, my granddaughter is going to marry you today; you should call me grandpa, right? I have been waiting for this name for a long time."

Dugu Bo suddenly laughed sinisterly, and Zhao Ling wanted to slap him a few times. But just as the other party said, his granddaughter was going to marry him today. It was only natural for him to call Dugu Bo "grandpa," but Zhao Ling felt that he couldn't say it out loud. He hesitated for a long while, then reluctantly called out to Dugu Bo, "Master... Master..."

After hearing this, Dugu Bo squinted his eyes in enjoyment, then walked into the mansion with a big laugh. Zhao Ling resisted the urge to beat up the old guy and continued to receive the people who came later.

At this time, a carriage stopped in front of Zhao Ling's mansion, and three people got off: Qian Xunji, Ghost Douluo, and Ju Douluo.

Qian Xunji slowly walked up to Zhao Ling and smiled at him. "Zhao... son-in-law, Xue'er and Dong'er will be in your care from now on. I hope you can treat them well; otherwise, I, as their father-in-law, will be angry."

"Well, father-in-law, don't worry. Whether it's Xue'er or Dong'er, I will treat them well."

Zhao Ling nodded and had someone lead the three of them into the mansion.

The arrival of Qian Xunji, Ghost Douluo, and Ju Douluo quickly attracted the attention of many, especially the people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Originally, the relationship between the Spirit Hall and the three major sects, including the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, had always been quite tense. Now the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had almost cut off ties with the other two sects and had indirectly become closer to the Spirit Hall.

After all, Zhao Ling had long been considered a half-member of the Spirit Hall, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was an ally of Zhao Ling. Therefore, even if the relationship between the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Spirit Hall couldn't be said to be close, it was definitely not as tense as before.

When Qian Xunji and Ning Fengzhi's eyes met, they nodded to each other. He took Ghost Douluo and Ju Douluo and found a table to sit down.

When Dugu Bo saw Ju Douluo sitting down, his eyes narrowed slightly. Since Zhao Ling did not interfere in their affairs, the conflict between them in the original novel still existed. However, Dugu Bo did not attack the other party. After all, this was Zhao Ling's wedding; if he attacked Ju Douluo, it would be like slapping Zhao Ling in the face. Of course, the most important thing was that there were three people on Ju Douluo's side. If a fight really broke out, he would be the only one to suffer, so he chose to turn a blind eye.

Ju Douluo also knew that today was Zhao Ling's wedding day, and he couldn't bring bad luck to Zhao Ling. Otherwise, he would definitely be dealt with. Plus, Dugu Bo's granddaughter was marrying Zhao Ling, and his own Pope was also marrying Zhao Ling. Therefore, Dugu Bo was now involved with their Spirit Hall, and he could not afford to offend this old guy. Otherwise, if a conflict occurred, it would be difficult for Zhao Ling to deal with it. Now, this old guy couldn't be offended.
