Chapter 455 The Delicious-Smelling Top Scholar Son-in-Law
Law-based artifacts are incredibly precious.

Those professionals who can perfectly wield such tools possess terrifying strength.

When Nangong Ling brought home such an outstanding boyfriend, none of the elders in the Nangong family, who had noticed something amiss, could suppress their smirks.

Zhang Tao has ability and potential, but unfortunately, he is far inferior to Lin Yi.

The undisguised surprise and astonishment on his face said it all.

The lightning-streaked Kusanagi sword was almost within reach. The destructive lightning on its blade transformed into a terrifying pressure that pressed directly into Zhang Tao's heart, rendering him unable to move an inch.

One second Zhang Tao was full of vigor, the next he became timid and hesitant.

This scene left hundreds of members of the Nangong clan speechless.

What does this mean? Is it acting?

No, Zhang Tao, why are you so subdued in front of Nangong Ling?

How much did Lin Yi give you that you don't even want your wife anymore?
Amidst the clamor of discussion, there was a great deal of skepticism towards Lin Yi.

As Nangong Su leaped onto the arena, he landed beside Lin Yi.

All the speculation has been disproven!
"Young friend Lin, your strength seems to be much greater than the rumors suggest."

"It's my fault for not informing you properly, and also my fault for being blind. Please forgive any negligence on the part of the Nangong family."

Amidst hundreds of incredulous gazes, Nangong Su, the head of the Nangong family, greeted Lin Yi with a humble smile and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Li and the group of young people suddenly found the food on the table tasteless.

The entire Nangong clan was seated, and they all stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to the young man on the arena.

Ling Yatou's boyfriend is actually the top scholar of the Great Xia Dynasty?

The sixth-level cultivator brutally defeating the ninth-level cultivator—wasn't that just acting?!

Given the high position of Nangong Su's courtesy, Lin Yi had no reason to act arrogantly. He immediately put away the Kusanagi Sword and politely returned the greeting.

"What are you saying, Patriarch? In your presence, I am but an incompetent junior. Your politeness is truly unworthy of me. It is my honor to participate in the Nangong family banquet in Luocheng."

An incompetent junior?

That's an overly polite way of saying it.

If someone with the strength of a sixth-rank cultivator who easily defeated Zhang Tao, a ninth-rank expert, is considered useless, then what am I, the head of the Nangong family?
How much stronger is Nangong Su than Zhang Tao?
He wouldn't dare say he could avoid defeat against Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's humble and tactful reply gave the Nangong family ample face.

This made the elders of the Nangong family extremely satisfied with the young lady's nominal boyfriend.

Nangong Su, a seasoned veteran in a high position, did not overlook Zhang Tao's feelings at this moment.

They lent a hand and pulled him up.

"Xiao Zhang, it seems your fate with Ling is not yet sealed. You didn't go all out today and unfortunately lost. We have no choice but to honor our agreement and give up the marriage."

The duck that was almost in your mouth flew away; it's hard for anyone to accept that.

However, the gap between him and Lin Yi was simply too great.

All the viewers felt that Zhang Tao hadn't used his full strength, and that he had only fallen into a disadvantageous position due to a momentary lapse in concentration. They all hoped that Zhang Tao would get back up and give everyone a wonderful fight.

Unfortunately, Zhang Tao did not refute it.

He could clearly smell the aura of supreme laws emanating from Lin Yi, a power that could not be bridged by a difference in level.

Continuing to fight would only result in being crushed, so it's better to take the way out offered by Nangong Su to avoid losing face.

Everything was progressing according to Nangong Ling's plan.

Upon learning that the young man she had brought back was the genius boy who had astonished the entire Great Xia Dynasty, the Nangong clan, no one dared to look down on him anymore. Those outstanding members of the clan who secretly admired Nangong Ling all wisely put away their feelings.

With Lin Yi in charge, he can handle anything, big or small.

Lin Yi was starting to lose control of the situation.

Lin Yi's strength is widely acknowledged.

The title of the number one young person in the Great Xia Dynasty is incredibly prestigious. After confirming the identity of their daughter's boyfriend, the three Nangong brothers were preoccupied with how to get the young couple married as soon as possible.

Which aristocratic family could resist the temptation of having the strongest younger generation?

Questions such as "Young friend Lin Yi, do you have any plans to get married?" and "Does your father know that you are with my daughter?" filled Lin Yi's ears all night.

Lin Yi, busy dealing with the elders of the Nangong family, didn't notice that Nangong Ling looked at him that night with longing in her eyes.

Lin Yi's trip was definitely worthwhile.

The elders of the Nangong family were particularly satisfied with this "prospective son-in-law." In order to expedite this non-existent marriage, they all took out their own money to give Lin Yi a lot of good things.

Various high-level potions, skill books, materials, etc.
Sometimes, it was simply too much to refuse such hospitality, and in order for Nangong Ling to return to Shenxiao on time, they had no choice but to accept the gifts from the elders of the Nangong family.

Adhering to the principle of not accepting rewards without merit, Lin Yi returned all the gains from the trip to Nangong Ling after returning to school.

The capital city, the central government headquarters for the entire nation.

A meeting is in full swing.

High-ranking officials from all departments of the Great Xia Dynasty gathered here.

Among them were familiar figures, Wan Chongshan and Zhou Heyu.

"Are you even from Great Xia? Isn't it obvious that those bastards from the enemy country are stirring up trouble? Just handing him over like that, aren't you afraid of discouraging young people?"

"Heh, resorting to vigilante justice is just wrong. Do you think I don't want to protect that child?"

"That child has rendered outstanding service to our Great Xia Dynasty. How can you just hand him over like this? Are you even human?"

"At worst, we'll completely break ties with those idiots from the enemy country. The Great Xia of today is not afraid of them in the slightest!"

"You bunch of people, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the ones suffering. Those few people from enemy countries at the embassy are causing us trouble every day. What, are you going to handle them?"

"."

The clamor of discussion filled Wan Chongshan's ears.

It sat upright in its place, its gaze vacant, and remained silent.

The theme of this high-level meeting was Chu Xi's handling of the issue.

He killed six beautiful ninth-level professional players in a row. Even though his compatriots who witnessed it wanted to protect him, they were powerless to do anything about it.

Six level-nine professionals are extremely valuable to any country.

This level of strength cannot be cultivated simply by spending time and resources.

They were all ambushed by otherworldly monsters and their remains were never found? I doubt anyone would believe that.

How could the beautiful country, which already harbored ulterior motives towards the Great Xia, let go of such a good opportunity?

They created public opinion and smeared the Great Xia through various means, thereby putting pressure on the authorities to force the Great Xia to relinquish its interests and hand over Chu Xi.

Wan Chongshan, who is always protective of his own, did not utter a word at the meeting.

The words that Xuanyuan Qingtian said when he personally delivered Chu Xi kept echoing in his mind.

Wan Chongshan didn't want to attend this bullshit meeting.

Regarding how to deal with Chu Xi, Old Cat will only give one answer: If you're not convinced, then fight!
At this moment, he wanted to see the God of War Xuanyuan again, to find out what he really meant by the words, "It would be best for this child to die as soon as possible."

Why should a child who is devoted to the country end up like this?

Ultimately, under the leadership of the legendary war god, Elder Zhou, the decision was passed with a majority vote, demonstrating his strong resolve.

Chu Xi's life was saved, but he also lost his freedom.

There are still many aspects of him that are worth investigating.

The fact that he could instantly kill six experts of the same level is quite suspicious.
