?Chapter 771: Chapter 770 Welcoming the Bride_1 Chapter 771: Chapter 770 Welcoming the Bride_1 “This pill is known as the Yangxi Pill.
Although it cannot produce the miraculous effects of boosting cultivation levels, if consumed, it can improve one’s physique, akin to Marrow Cleansing and bone reforming, and it can extend one’s lifespan!”
“Due to the rarity of the ingredients required to refine the Yangxi Pill, I have prepared only one hundred pills for the Xu Family!”
After acquiring wealth and power, what people pursue is eternal youth and immortality!
Even some highly placed individuals would prefer to deplete their entire fortunes for the chance to live just one more day!
All the Xu Family elders were now utterly convinced by Xu Fan and dared not raise any further objections.
After all, just these gifts alone, let alone the Secular World, would allow any family in the Ancient Martial World to marry off their daughter, wouldn’t they?
Additionally, considering Xu Fan’s own formidable strength, the Xu Family’s union with Xu Fan was already laden with endless benefits!
“Excellent, excellent!”
The Supreme Elder slightly narrowed his eyes, his attention wholly focused on the Bishui Pill.
He had reached an age where his life was gradually deteriorating, and unless something unexpected happened, he had at most ten years to live.
But the Bishui Pill could help him break through to a minor realm, thereby extending his life by at least twenty years!
That meant he could protect the Xu Family for another generation, which was naturally a cause of great excitement!
“May I enter now?” Xu Fan asked with a smile.
“What kind of question is that, of course, you may.
Quickly, usher the son-in-law inside!”
The Supreme Elder gave the onlookers a disdainful look.
Their behavior was unseemly; once the Bishui Pill was mentioned, they had sidelined Xu Fan.
“Xu Fan, it’s not that we’re unwilling, but even if you pass this second challenge, they won’t let you in easily for the third!” said an uncle-like Elder, his face showing difficulty.
However, Xu Fan had long been fully prepared.
One after another, the elders made way for Xu Fan, who approached Xu Yixue’s villa unimpeded.
Xu Xuanyi stood solemnly at the entrance, alone.
Expecting to face a great crowd for this third challenge, Xu Fan had not anticipated meeting only his future father-in-law.
Honestly, Xu Xuanyi’s heart was extremely tense, and mixed with a feeling that was hard to define.
After all, Xu Yixue was the child he had watched grow up, a part of himself.
Now, the thought that from today on, Xu Yixue would follow this man before him and their lives would largely be separated brought an indescribable bitterness.
Of course, considering Xu Fan’s capabilities and strength, he was undoubtedly the best match for Xu Yixue.
So amidst the complexity of emotions, there was also a sense of relief that his daughter had finally found her place.
“Xiao Ning’s mother doesn’t wish to face you, so I am here waiting for you alone.
To be honest, your standing here today is, in fact, already a sign of the Xu Family’s approval.
But as Yixue’s father, what I want to hear is a promise from you!”
“I understand what you mean.
Just like Tongtong; although she is still young, I have indeed thought about how difficult it would be to accept when she comes of age to marry,” Xu Fan sighed and glanced at Tongtong who, a moment ago, was lively and now slept soundly in his arms like a simpleton.
“Just like Tongtong, Xiao Ning is your most beloved daughter.
Only as parents can one understand this unspoken deep affection.
At first, Tongtong was the only person in my life, and I had not even considered any intersection with Xiao Ning.
But after spending more time with her, I realized that perhaps she holds a significant meaning for me,” Xu Fan’s voice choked up a bit.
Even a mighty Immortal Venerable could be so moved by love for his children!
“Back then, Xiao Ning, while carrying Tongtong, drifted alone in a foreign land without any support.
She raised Tongtong by herself, and after returning to the country, she still had to bear the tremendous pressure from within the family!”
“But now all these have become a thing of the past, for the rest of my life, I will do everything in my power to care for Xue, as long as I live, I will never allow her to be bullied in the slightest, nor will I fail the deep affection she has for me!”
At this point, Xu Fan wiped the corners of his moist eyes, “Please give your son-in-law a chance, father-in-law!”
Xu Fan’s words, though brief, were a genuine outpouring of his feelings.
Everyone chose silence, waiting for Xu Xuanyi’s response.
After all, how could there be no sincerity in being able to say such words?
Xu Xuanyi sighed, patted Xu Fan on the shoulder, “Ever since you stepped into the Xu Family’s threshold that day, I believed you would definitely be a good husband, and equally, a good father.
Some things are inborn and cannot be concealed, such as a sense of responsibility.
Now that you are here today, I entrust my daughter to you, hoping you will remember the promise you made today!”
“Of course, should your son-in-law ever fail to do as he’s said, he is at the father-in-law’s disposal!”
Xu Fan promised solemnly.
Xu Xuanyi silently turned and left, no longer wishing to stay.
Tongtong was awake too, curiously looking around, “Wow, daddy, you’re so awesome, Tongtong only took a short nap, and we’re already at mommy’s door!”
Indeed, the door in front of him was the only thing separating him from Xu Yixue now.
Xu Fan awkwardly placed his hand on the doorknob, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
“Creak!”
Xu Fan knew then that, sure enough, the door was locked from the inside.
“Xu Fan, Yixue is in our hands now, if you want to take her away, we’ll have to see your sincerity!”
Ye Xiaoning stated briefly and clearly.
Today, Ye Xiaoning and several other female members of the Flame Dragon Organization were Yixue’s bridesmaids, waiting inside.
“Aunt Xiao Ning, please let daddy in!”
Tongtong said in her milky voice.
“Don’t even think about it, things that come too easily, men simply do not cherish, if you want the door to open, it’ll depend on your father’s performance!”
Ye Xiaoning said with a smile.
The bridesmaids obviously had prepared to fleece Xu Fan.
“Ye Xiaoning, the red envelopes are ready, but we also have to be able to give them to you, so why not crack the door open a little, just a small crack will do!”
Zhou Xian leaned forward to the door, signaling a ready-to-act gesture to the people behind him.
Once the door opened, they would all storm in.
“Trying to fool your auntie here, if I open the door, wouldn’t Yixue be taken away by you?!”
Ye Xiaoning naturally wasn’t falling for it.
“But if you won’t open the door, how can we give the red envelopes?”
Zhou Xian retorted calmly, engaging in a battle of wits.
“Ever heard of mobile transfers?
