My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

Li's parents were overjoyed to hear Li Xuancang's words.

Li's mother hurriedly spoke up, fearing that her son would change his mind.

"Miss Du is exceptionally beautiful and well-educated; we are more than willing."

After she finished speaking, she held onto Du Ruomei tightly, as if worried that she would run away.

As soon as Li's mother said this, everyone in the hall laughed.

Du Ruomei blushed slightly, and at the same time, a huge weight was lifted from her heart.

She knew from a young age that she was destined for an arranged marriage, and she did not resist it.

She was born into a life of luxury, never lacking food or clothing.

Having enjoyed the benefits of the family, one should naturally contribute to the family.

When she learned that her family was choosing someone to marry Li Xuancang, she immediately volunteered.

Compared to marrying anyone else, marrying Li Xuancang, who became famous at a young age, is already a powerful expert in the Tongxuan Realm, and holds the high position of Garrison Commander, is the best outcome for her.

Du Tianfeng laughed and stood up, patting Li Xuancang on the shoulder.

"Alright, it's settled then. We'll have the official matchmaker come to our door another day to formally propose marriage."

Subsequently, the relationship between the two parties improved considerably, and their conversations became more harmonious.

After the meal, Du Tianfeng and the others stayed at the mansion for the time being.

After settling the Du family in, Li's mother looked at Li Xuancang with a serious expression.

"Xuan Cang, tell your mother the truth, do you like this girl?"

Li Xuancang rubbed his temples: "Mother, this is the first time I've seen her..."

"What's wrong with seeing her for the first time? Your mother is asking you, what do you think of Miss Du's appearance?"

Li Xuancang thought for a moment and then answered truthfully, "Outstanding."

Then Li's mother asked, "And what about his temperament?"

"Gentle and graceful, well-educated and courteous."

"Is that good enough for you?"

Li Xuancang paused for a moment, then lowered his voice: "I am unworthy of your status."

Li's mother smiled with satisfaction, patted her son's hand, and spoke in a kind tone.

"Silly child, you are now a garrison commander, a great figure in the Profound Realm. Countless people all over the world want to marry you."

"But I don't care about those things. I only care that you marry a good wife who is caring and can spend her whole life with you."

"I took a liking to Miss Du at first sight; she's a blessed child."

"It's your good fortune to marry her, and it's also a good fortune for the Li family."

During this period, people kept coming to visit the two elders, wanting to arrange a marriage between them and the Li family.

The two elders rejected all of their previous proposals, but upon meeting Du Ruomei today, they truly took a liking to her.

They didn't want their son to miss out on this marriage, and they also hoped that their son could get over the Pei family's affairs as soon as possible, get married, and have children.

"Father, Mother, Eldest Sister, then I'll trouble you to prepare the betrothal gifts!"

After receiving Li Xuancang's permission, the family was overjoyed and repeatedly said yes.

I hurriedly went to consult the almanac to choose an auspicious day.

He excitedly went to the storeroom to take stock of the family's assets, pondering what kind of betrothal gifts he should prepare to be worthy of the eldest daughter of the Du family.

Li Xuancang stood alone in the hall, watching his parents and sister's busy figures, and shook his head with a smile.

For the next period of time, Li Xuancang took Du Ruomei to tour the county town.

Du Ruomei had seen many novel things before and had a lot of fun.

As the two became more familiar with each other, Li Xuancang grew to like Du Ruomei, who was gentle and graceful in her speech and manner.

Ten days later, Du Tianfeng and Du Ruomei embarked on their journey home.

He had come to finalize the marriage between the two families, and now that his purpose had been achieved, he wanted to return as soon as possible.

Inform the family about the matter and make some preparations.

"Lord Du, Ganquan County cannot do without someone, so we can only trouble Miss Du."

As the garrison commander of Ganquan County, Li Xuancang could not leave easily and could not go to the Du family to propose marriage. It was unknown when the marriage would be postponed.

"There's plenty of time; the Du family can afford to wait."

Du Tianfeng disagreed.

For cultivators, waiting a few years is perfectly acceptable.

Although Du Ruomei is a woman, she possesses some cultivation and is not afraid to wait a few years for Li Xuancang.

"Bon Voyage."

Li Xuancang ordered Bai Meng to personally escort Du Tianfeng and the others away from Liangzhou with a team.

Watching the Du family's group leave, Li Xuancang felt a pang of loss.

They only turned and left after the Du family's group had completely disappeared.

Meanwhile, after many hardships, Ouyang De finally arrived at the Xuanxin Sect.

The Xuanxin Sect is located at the border of the Great Yan and Great Li Dynasties, and is independent of both dynasties.

Although it is a sect, it occupies one-third of the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty, and hundreds of millions of people depend on the Xuanxin Sect for survival.

As Ouyang De approached the Xuanxin Sect's mountain gate, he was stopped by the gatekeeper's disciple.

"Fellow Daoist, where do you come from? What brings you to my Xuanxin Sect?"

Unlike other major sects, the disciples of Xuanxin Sect did not act arrogantly; they inquired in a gentle voice.

Ouyang De did not hide anything and said, "I come from the Great Yan and request an audience with Elder Qingxuan. Please inform him that I am a subordinate of Lord Li Xuancang of the Great Yan and have been ordered to come to see him."

Upon hearing this, the disciples guarding the gate changed their expressions, all somewhat surprised.

Ouyang De made no attempt to conceal his aura, revealing his cultivation level at the Gang Qi Realm.

The person behind Ouyang De, who could command a Qi Refining Realm expert to come, must be extraordinary.

Furthermore, he specifically requested an audience with Elder Qingxuan, which makes him even more extraordinary.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. We will go and report to Elder Qingxuan immediately."

The gatekeeper disciple dared not delay and immediately went to report.

Elder Qingxuan was somewhat surprised to hear that Li Xuancang's people had come to request an audience.

He quickly arrived at the mountain gate and was astonished to sense that Ouyang Degang was at the mid-stage of the Qi Realm.

Li Xuancang was just a captain; when did he become able to command a mid-stage Qi Refining Realm expert?

Suppressing his confusion, Elder Qingxuan approached Ouyang De with a smile.

"I am Qingxuan. Have you come to see me, fellow Daoist?"

Ouyang De clasped his hands in a salute to Elder Qingxuan.

"Ouyang De, under the command of Lord Li Xuancang, the Garrison Commander of the Great Yan, greets Elder Qingxuan."

Upon hearing this, Elder Qingxuan was startled.

Although he was not a member of the Great Yan, he knew what the Great Yan Garrison Commander represented.

It hasn't been long since we last met, and Li Xuancang has already risen to a high position; his promotion speed is truly impressive.

"Please come in, fellow Daoist."

Although they were curious about Li Xuancang's situation, this was not the place to talk, so Elder Qingxuan led Ouyang De into the Xuanxin Sect.

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the Elder Hall of Qingxuan.

"Fellow Daoist, please have a seat."

Qingxuan's face turned red, his shock evident in his expression.

The disciples served tea, and Qingxuan's hand trembled slightly as he lifted the teacup.

"The Profound Realm, the Profound Realm..."

Qingxuan whispered, his heart churning with turbulent emotions that he could not calm down for a long time.

He never imagined that Li Xuancang, whom he met in Anzhou, had already reached the Tongxuan Realm in such a short time; it all seemed so unreal.
