My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

Chapter 236 Marriage? But I'm underage! [First Update]

What should I do? Should I kick my in-laws out right now?

Such a thought flashed through Ji Yuan's mind.

Pshaw! That's impossible no matter how you look at it.

With the thought of torture weighing heavily on his mind, Ji Yuan led Tingyun's parents towards his room. Tingyun's mother watched from behind, puzzled. Wasn't her future son-in-law quite relaxed and cheerful when he invited them in? How could things have suddenly changed?

Ji Yuan walked to the door, gritted his teeth, and pushed it open.

But his tense expression instantly relaxed as soon as he pushed open the door.

Her teacher, Jingliu, wasn't sleeping in bed. Instead, she was sitting in a round-backed chair in the living room, dressed as a swordswoman. Even her crimson eyes were now covered by a black eyepatch, making her look like a mysterious and aloof female swordswoman.

This is completely different from how crazy she was last night.

Tingyun's parents were startled when they saw a woman suddenly appear in their son-in-law's house. However, they quickly recognized the woman.

Isn't this the female swordsman who fought alongside Ji Yuan yesterday? That's right, she's Ji Yuan's teacher, the former Sword Master Jingliu of the Luofu Immortal Ship.

Tingyun's parents were much younger than Jingliu, but after yesterday's battle, they heard some of the older people from the Tianbo Division talk about this former sword master of Luofu, so they also had some impression of their teacher, Ji Yuan.

The Immortal Boat Alliance's longevity species have this advantage: seven hundred years is equivalent to dozens of generations for Beloberg, and the secrets of that time are deeply buried in history. However, for the Immortal Boat Alliance, the events of seven hundred years ago can still be witnessed by those who actually saw them.

Tingyun's mother couldn't help but imagine: "I was wondering why Ji Yuan was so nervous. It turns out he was worried that his teacher's status as a wanted criminal on the Immortal Ship would be discovered. I thought he was having an affair behind my daughter's back. Hey, we're not that kind of people. Putting aside Ms. Jingliu's contributions to the Immortal Ship, she's Ji Yuan's teacher, so we couldn't possibly have any ill intentions."

Thinking of this, she immediately addressed Jingliu in a respectful tone: "Is this Ms. Jingliu? You also came to see Jiyuan this morning?"

Jingliu slowly nodded, stood up, and walked to the table in the living room, gesturing for Tingyun's parents to sit opposite her. She also pulled Ji Yuan to her side. Then, with a slight upturn of her lips, she adopted the demeanor of an elder and said to Tingyun's parents, "You must be Tingyun's parents. I am his teacher, Jingliu. Come, sit down."

"it is good."

Overwhelmed by Jing Liu's imposing presence, Ting Yun's parents sat down with trepidation.

On the other side, Ji Yuan's condition was also not good. Jing Liu appeared calm and composed, like a hermit, but under the table, one foot had already slipped out of his boot and was inside his pants, playing with his calf.

How could this possibly be discovered...?

Ji Yuan forced himself to endure it.

At this moment, Jingliu hadn't let her student off the hook yet; she used her toes to write on Ji Yuan's calf:

[Do you think my reaction time is quick?]

Fast, it really is fast.

Ji Yuan nodded slightly, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Meanwhile, Tingyun's parents on the other side were unaware of the situation on Ji Yuan and his disciples' side. They were still marveling at how kind the previous leader of the Luofu Sword was, not at all like the aloof person they had heard about.

Tingyun's father paused for a moment before asking Ji Yuan, "Well, although you are a hero of the Luofu Immortal Ship, as Tingyun's parents, we also have some things we want to know."

"Yes, Uncle, please go ahead."

This was Ji Yuan's first time meeting his father-in-law, and he behaved very obediently.

Tingyun's father placed his hands on the table and asked Ji Yuan in a probing tone, "I've only heard some things about your family from Tingyun, so I don't know much about them. Could you tell us more? Of course, you don't need to talk about the unhappy things."

Ji Yuan's parents were both heroes of the Immortal Ship who died on the battlefield, a fact they were aware of.

Ji Yuan frankly said, "Well, there's nothing wrong with saying this. My parents died in the war between Yaoqing Immortal Ship and Fengrao people. Later, they were adopted by my parents' comrades-in-arms, namely my adoptive mother Suyi and adoptive father Li Shen. Currently, my adoptive parents are both alive, and I also have a younger sister, Sushang."

“Hmm…” Tingyun’s father nodded: “I have no further questions. Now, let’s move on to the second question.”

"Please tell me."

Ji Yuan asked nervously.

After asking about family, the next thing to ask about is income and work.

"My second question is, when are you and Tingyun getting married?"

Tingyun's father said with a smile.

"what!?"

Upon hearing Tingyun's father say this, Ji Yuan nearly fell off his stool. He looked at Tingyun's father with a puzzled expression.

No, sir, is that how you ask me?

Jingliu shook his head and smiled to the side.

Although she had just had a very intimate relationship with Ji Yuan, she didn't really care about his marriage. After all, marriage wouldn't stop her from doing enjoyable things with her student.

She's insane, she has no morals.

Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't the second question be about work or something?"

Upon hearing this, Tingyun's father rolled his eyes at him.

"Work? I don't want to be discouraged, nor do I want to hear your boasting."

Favored by the three star gods, Emperor Bow Master, Heaven-Mending Master, and All-Knowing Heavenly Lord, he is the Marshal's Special Envoy of the Immortal Ship Alliance, the Chairman's Secretary and Deputy Minister of Strategic Investment at the Interstellar Peace Company, a member of the Genius Club, a hero who saved the Immortal Ship twice, and the Grand Prosecutor Yalilo VI.

I could choke to death if I said it all at once.

Jingliu couldn't help but laugh.

Ji Yuan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Then another question came to his mind.

"No, shouldn't we also consider the feelings between the two people before getting married?"

"Feelings? That's less important than your job." Upon hearing this, Tingyun's father rolled his eyes so much that Ji Yuan almost felt he was undergoing a strange change. "If her mother and I dared to disagree with your marriage today, she would dare to run away from home the next day. As for your feelings for my daughter, if you didn't truly love her, would you risk going against the Great Lord of Annihilation to save her?"

To be honest, knowing that Ji Yuan was just an ordinary maritime trade official at the time, yet he dared to risk defying the Great Lord of Annihilation to save his daughter, Tingyun's father felt that it would be ungrateful of his daughter not to marry him. Fortunately, his daughter was also in love with Ji Yuan, so there was no need to worry about that aspect.

Seeing Ji Yuan's approving expression, Tingyun's father spread his hands and said to him, "See, there's no problem. Now we can talk about the marriage. Although we can't compare to you, I only have one daughter, Tingyun, and we'll try our best to cover all the expenses."

“No need for that…” Ji Yuan waved his hand subconsciously.

Then, a question suddenly occurred to him.

"Wait, I can't marry Tingyun yet."

He immediately spoke to Tingyun's parents.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's refusal, Tingyun's parents both stood up.

"why?"

Tingyun's father's eyes held a hint of accusation.

Although he knew that Ji Yuan could easily defeat him with one hand, he was still extremely indignant at Ji Yuan's behavior.

Do you intend to play with my daughter's feelings and then shirk your responsibilities?

"Um, Uncle, please calm down. There's a reason why I can't get married."

"what reason."

Tingyun's father was still angry.

"I'm not an adult yet."

Ji Yuan defended himself in a low voice.

As for his impending death within the next hundred years, Ji Yuan wasn't so confused now that he knew the murderer was the Star God.

Tingyun's father: "..."

Tingyun's mother: "..."

The couple looked at each other, both somewhat dumbfounded.

Tingyun's father asked dryly, "You, you're still a minor?"

Ji Yuan nodded: "Yes, I'm just over 170 years old, not even 180. People on the Immortal Ship usually don't have a coming-of-age ceremony until they're 200."

What a beast!

Tingyun's parents cursed inwardly at the same time.

This time, however, their target wasn't Ji Yuan, but their own daughter. "That child is only a little over 170 years old, how dare you harm her? No matter how strong she is, she's still just a child. Tingyun, did you pick up some bad habits while you were out playing?"

Ji Yuan said softly, "Actually, I'm not really against marrying Sister Tingyun. It's just that I might need to make some preparations first..."

Just as they were saying this, Fu Xuan's voice rang out from outside.

“That’s no problem. The coming-of-age ceremony doesn’t necessarily have to be held around two hundred years old. Although one hundred and seventy years old is a bit early, given your abilities and contributions, Ji Yuan, holding the coming-of-age ceremony earlier is just a matter of a word.”

As she spoke, Fu Xuan slowly walked in. In her hands were some nourishing gifts.

"Lord Taibu!"

Tingyun's parents hurriedly greeted Fu Xuan.

"Hmm." Fu Xuan nodded slightly. After placing the gift on the table, she asked Ji Yuan, "How are you feeling? Did you rest well?"

Ji Yuan stretched for a moment, then replied to Fu Xuan, "It's alright, I feel like I can start working this afternoon. Lord Fu Xuan, there's still a lot of work to be done on the Immortal Ship, right? I can go help out after I finish lunch."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan instantly reacted like a cat spotting a mouse, saying to Ji Yuan:

"No need, you don't need to. You should rest. I've already spoken to the general. From now on, anyone who gives you work will be treated as a dereliction of duty."

Ji Yuan said with a somewhat mournful face, "Grand Diviner, it can't be that bad, can it?"

Fu Xuan said with a dark face, "In short, you'd better rest well these next few days. Until I give you an award, you won't be given any work on the entire Luofu Immortal Ship. In fact, I've already told Ruan Mei that she won't be doing any research these next few days either. These next few days, your only options besides resting are to travel."

Ji Yuan nodded helplessly.

Seeing his condition, Fu Xuan still complained helplessly, "Sometimes, I really want to transplant some of Qing Que's genes into you. That girl, she wishes she could rest seven days a week."

"She's quite reliable when it's not for serious matters."

Ji Yuan offered a defense to his mahjong partner.

"And then? Since the end of the war, I haven't seen her get down from the Imperial Jade Table."

Fu Xuan was still quite angry when the matter was brought up.

"In short, this is not advice. This is my order to you. From now until the ceremony where you are honored, you cannot do any work. Hmm, coincidentally, the ceremony will also be your coming-of-age ceremony. Marshal Hua will be there then; she will crown you and announce that you are the best candidate for adulthood."

After saying this, Fu Xuan seemed to feel somewhat uncomfortable and added a sentence to Ji Yuan.
