Chapter 564: Chapter 563: Feng Family’s Dowry, Hidden Treasure Map_1
 

Feng Liu’s heart fell unknowingly.

The two grew more intimate with the deep affection they shared, which was especially noticeable to those who cared to observe.

Lady Feng was the first to notice her daughter’s change.

The girl who used to explode at the mention of an arranged marriage now showed the tenderness of a young girl in her words, no longer deliberately resisting her mother’s occasional probing.

Mother knows best.

Lady Feng noticed her daughter’s unusual behavior, such as going to Brilliant Snow Residence every day to cook, and had a sudden realization.

Lin Jinyu was mature and steady, with outstanding character and appearance – the ideal standard for a future son-in-law in every mother-in-law’s eyes.

Lady Feng was overjoyed to learn that Lin Jinyu was to be her future son-in-law.

However, after the joy came worry.

She was not worried about anything else, but that her daughter’s humble status might not be favored by the prestigious Duke of Zhen’s family, thus bringing her endless grievances.

It was the perfect time for Lin Xiaoyang and Ye Xue’e to visit.

Upon hearing that his parents had arrived, Lin Jinyu personally went out of the valley to greet them.

In Lin’s Residence, he did not hesitate at all when facing his parents’ tests, kneeling down on one knee to ask for their approval to marry Feng Liu.

Looking at his spirited son, Lin Xiaoyang couldn’t help but think of himself in those days, his eyes turning red.

Ye Xue’e sensitively noticed his unease and felt a brief pang of pain in her heart.

The one he had desperately pursued back then was not her.

It was for this reason that their marriage had always been separated by Aunt Xue.

Even though she had been punished, the past was still difficult to erase.

Having gone through the trials and tribulations of their relationship, the couple were of the same mind and did not want their son to suffer any further.

Lin Jinyu received his parents’ blessing with utmost luck.

Ye Xue’er couldn’t wait to discuss dowry and wedding matters with Lady Feng.

Out of concern for his mother, Lin Jinyu stayed at Lin’s Residence for a night with his parents, fearing that she was weary from the long journey.

Early the next morning, he escorted them into the valley.

Lady Feng and Ye Xue’e spent quite a few days in the valley together, getting along very well due to their similar temperaments.

Meeting again as future in-laws, they couldn’t hide their happiness.

The two mothers talked merrily and soon discussed the wedding arrangements.

Lady Feng, loving her daughter deeply, thought it over several times before pulling out a sheepskin scroll that had been hidden by her side for ten years, considering it as her daughter’s dowry.

This scroll was the treasure map that had caused bloodshed and brutal fights among the various sects in the Jianghu ten years ago.

After seeing her parents off, Lin Qingluo lived a very comfortable life.

With the temporary dissipation of the threat from the Black Wolf Guard, the Noble Lord allowing the Little Prince to stay in the residence, she settled down and stayed at home to spend time with her elders, fulfilling her filial duties.

In her spare time, she taught martial arts to her three disciples and practiced lightness skills with the Little Prince.

Since awakening his Wu Clan powers, the Little Prince had undergone considerable physical changes, making him light as a swallow and quick to master lightness skills.

The eight-year-old boy, harboring his little dream, was determined to master martial arts to protect his sister when he grew up, and practiced his lightness skills diligently.

As he was eager to learn, his sister taught him earnestly, so his progress was remarkably fast over time.

Little Kingfisher was well-informed, and the gossip about King of Beiming, Xia Yan, gradually surfaced.

“Master, Xia Yan is indeed a ruthless character. In his youth, he fought for the throne, killed his father, and eliminated all his brothers from the same mother to finally sit on that position.”

“After ascending the throne, he undertook a bloody purge, removing all the military officials who did not obey him. It is said that at that time, rivers of blood flowed in Beiming Kingdom, and everyone lived in fear.”
