**Chapter 338: The Girl’s Family is About to Arrive?!**
At this moment, the man asked about his daughter, and even his usually steely brows softened a little, brimming with warmth and concern, as if all the world’s hardness melted away, leaving only his deep love for his daughter.
Without a doubt, this man was Xia Linglong’s father, the pillar of the Xia family.
Madam Xia briefly explained their daughter’s situation to her husband.
Upon hearing it, the previously calm expression on the man’s face instantly froze, a torrent of indescribable emotions surging inside him.
Was his precious daughter, whom he had painstakingly raised, going to be taken by some unknown yellow-haired kid?
And not just any kid, but a notorious playboy known for his flirting!
Absolutely not!
His sweet daughter would surely get hurt!
He knew his daughter had a pure heart, easily fooled, and if she fell for a guy like that, it would be a double whammy—her heart and her body captured!
While they talked, they completely ignored the two kiddos nearby.
They were a pair of adorable dragon and phoenix twins, about five or six years old. They looked like chubby little dolls, cute and clever—utterly irresistible!
It seemed like they understood their parents’ conversation, their faces lighting up with curiosity and excitement.
The boy blinked his bright eyes and asked eagerly, “Are we getting an older brother?!”
The girl was even more straightforward, “Is sister getting married?!”
Madam Xia couldn’t help but shoo away the two little rascals, “Not yet, go play somewhere!”
The twins stuck their tongues out at her and scampered off to roll on the soft couch.
Madam Xia reluctantly got up from the couch.
It was hard to imagine how her petite frame once birthed a pair of twins.
You gotta say… cultivators have truly mysterious bodies, right?
After getting up, Madam Xia faced her husband, and they began brainstorming their daughter’s future, trying to pry more information about Yun Zhonghe out of Xia Linglong.
After a brief chat, they learned how Xia Linglong had developed feelings for Yun Zhonghe.
He was her lifesaver when she was in dire straits, and Xia Linglong thought he was both handsome and strong. Just thinking about him sent her heart racing!
“It was love at first sight! Definitely love at first sight!”
Madam Xia summarized with motherly wisdom.
She looked at her husband, her eyes sparkling with nostalgia, adding, “Just like the first time I met you—it was love at first sight for me too! That heart-racing, indescribable feeling? I remember it like it was yesterday.”
Even after all these years, the old couple still had it in them, and the man couldn’t help but smile bashfully.
He gently grasped his wife’s hand and said tenderly, “Who hasn’t experienced love at first sight, my dear? You were so breathtakingly beautiful back then; I fell head over heels at first glance.”
Bubblegum-pink romance began to waft in the air.
The two indulged in their sweet moment for a while, enjoying the cozy vibes of affection—until they noticed the twins staring at them with big, fish-eyed expressions, prompting them to stop their lovey-dovey antics.
From their brief exchange, they had already gathered some preliminary information about Yun Zhonghe’s identity and realized this young man might not be just another pretty face. They immediately sprung into action, hastily directing subordinates to gather detailed intel on him.
In less than three minutes, their subordinates returned with astonishing efficiency, bringing back a treasure trove of information about Yun Zhonghe.
They even had a lifelike painting of him!
In the portrait, Yun Zhonghe sported sharp brows and bright eyes, carrying himself with grace, his golden hair especially striking.
“No wonder my daughter has such good taste!” Madam Xia confirmed; no doubt about it, that daughter of hers sure knew how to pick ’em.
However, Mr. Xia had slightly different thoughts. He took the information and carefully examined Yun Zhonghe’s background, feeling a tad shocked.
He had assumed Yun Zhonghe was a flirt, a loveable playboy who toyed with unsuspecting girls—but it seemed reality painted a different picture.
The guy was genuinely talented!
Myriad Path Divine Tower… Qingzhu Town… Wait a moment…
Mr. Xia took a deep breath, “Unlimited potential! A fine young man!”
He began critiquing Yun Zhonghe, evaluating him like a prospective son-in-law.
Meanwhile, the twins, captivated by the adults’ enthusiastic discussion, blinked their curious big eyes, eager to learn more.
The family delved into a passionate discussion about Xia Linglong’s future, fully absorbed in the topic of interest.
“How about we let my dear daughter decide for herself?” Mr. Xia mused after some thought. “As it stands, we shouldn’t interfere too much. If they truly have a chance together, then we’ll seriously draft a marriage contract and make it official.”
Madam Xia immediately stamped her approval, “Agreed! Besides, right now, it’s just Linglong crushing on Yun Zhonghe—there’s nothing substantial going on between them. We can’t rush things.”
So many people liked Yun Zhonghe; obviously, he had serious potential! Whether they could snag him depended on Xia Linglong’s luck.
“Oh, I heard Yun Zhonghe is also a disciple of the Xuantian Sect,” Mr. Xia suddenly recalled. “Doesn’t Xuantian Sect have a big competition coming up? I’ll go check it out in person and assess this young lad as well.”
The competition hosted by the Xuantian Sect was originally just a sect matter.
But being the top sect in the Eastern Continent and among the Ten Great Sects of the Cultivation Realm, they’d naturally invite some big shots to come and watch.
Various factions sent envoys to observe, hoping to scout out Xuantian Sect’s new generation of disciples and potentially attract some promising talents for themselves.
Those who graduated from Xuantian Sect could be easily courted ahead of time.
Mr. Xia hadn’t originally planned to attend, as someone else was supposed to lead the team. But due to curiosity over his daughter’s crush on Yun Zhonghe, he decided he’d go and see for himself what made this young man so captivating.
“Well, then, just remember to use the water mirror to broadcast what happens over there to me,” Madam Xia chimed in, showing no objections.
……
At that moment, Yun Zhonghe was completely engrossed in his tasks, utterly unaware that he had silently caught the eyes of two big shots from the Xia family, becoming the center of their attention and discussion.
After getting Xia Linglong’s nod, Yun Zhonghe warmed up some dishes in the kitchen, then carefully brought them to the waiting Chen Leling.
“Yum, yum… gulp, gulp!”
As soon as Chen Leling saw the delicious food, her eyes sparkled, and she dove in without losing a second. Seeing her shovel the food in, Yun Zhonghe knew this meal was a winner!
“Ah, if you eat that quickly, you’ll choke!”
Seeing Chen Leling already lost in her food, Mu Jixue stepped in to tend to her.
