Chapter 32

Lin Zheng ran up the mountain without stopping, the green pines and cypresses constantly passing behind him. Occasionally, a few clever little animals would dart by, and the warm morning light bathed the earth!

Lin Zheng gradually slowed his pace. The mood of going up the mountain was completely different from coming down. Looking at the lush green mountains, the animals running around in the morning, and the new sprouts, Lin Zheng closed his eyes and took one step after another up the steps. It seemed as if his blood was beginning to fill with vitality, and even the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to come alive. Countless living beings were rejoicing all around!

Lin Zheng circulated the family's secret technique, and the vital and lively spiritual energy around him continuously flowed into his body, making him feel as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring! After a long time, Lin Zheng slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he felt that the creatures around him seemed even more vivid!

Lin Zheng smiled faintly. Is this the enlightenment of life? Although it was only a brief moment, it brought Lin Zheng considerable benefits. Lin Zheng gently placed a small, agile beast that was perched on his shoulder onto a nearby tree, and with a step, he continued to head towards the sect. At this moment, Lin Zheng's movements seemed more fluid, though not as swift as before, his speed remained unchanged and looked even more natural and smooth!

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lin Zheng reached the mountain gate. The disciple on duty saw it was Lin Zheng and immediately let him pass. Lin Zheng's reputation within the Wu Kong Sect was well-known, and a small gatekeeper disciple would certainly not make things difficult for him.

Lin Zheng walked smoothly, asking a few disciples along the way, and soon found Li Ruoshui! At this moment, Li Ruoshui was listening to a lecture given by an elder within the sect. After Lin Zheng arrived, he did not speak but quietly sat to one side and waited for the lecture to end! After about half an hour, the elder finished his lecture, and everyone got up to find a place to comprehend the knowledge the elder had imparted! A group of male disciples surrounded Li Ruoshui and a few other women, either asking questions or using the pretext of asking questions to get closer to the female disciples!

Lin Zheng watched Li Ruoshui in the crowd, her brows furrowed, her face showing a helpless expression, which was quite amusing! So he quickly moved forward, preparing to part the crowd and take Li Ruoshui away. He wouldn't care what the other boring people thought!

The excited male disciples only felt a strange force push them to the side, and Li Ruoshui, who was thinking of a way to leave, suddenly found a path opening up in the crowd! She looked up and saw a handsome and tall man standing in front of her, smiling at her. It was Lin Zheng, whom she had been thinking about all along!

Li Ruoshui took a small step forward and threw herself into Lin Zheng's arms, feeling the warm chest, as if she had returned to the safest harbor!

The crowd, who had not yet reacted to recognize who was so rude, saw their fairy-like figure throw herself into a man's arms!

Crack, crack, crack, countless hearts shattered, broken into two. Just as they mustered the courage to go and teach the man a lesson, they heard someone shout, "Lin Zheng!"

Crack! Crack! Crack! Countless hearts were completely shattered. Forget it, they couldn't beat him. Even the powerful Zhao family had fled in disgrace before Lin Zheng. What were they? Countless people shed silent tears in their hearts, goodbye, goodbye, fairy of their dreams!

There were also clear-headed people in the crowd. The two of them together seemed like a perfect match, and they generously clapped and cheered!

"Lin Zheng, well done!"

"The two of you should be happy!"

"Lin Zheng, you must be good to our fairy, or else..." This person didn't finish speaking before being pulled away with his mouth covered.

Lin Zheng held Li Ruoshui's small hand, waved and smiled at the crowd, and thanked them repeatedly. Such a sincere behavior made the dissatisfaction in their hearts disappear!

Then, Lin Zheng led Li Ruoshui down the path that the crowd had made for them. The two of them walked together, the man handsome and the woman beautiful. The image of them holding hands and walking away was deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts!

The two walked slowly, talking softly. Lin Zheng seemed to remember something and asked, "Ruoshui, did you give the cultivation technique to Tielang as I asked?"

"Yes, I gave it to him. Not long after you left, I met him in front of your courtyard and gave him the technique, along with the words you told me to pass on," Li Ruoshui said softly.

"Good, that big guy is actually quite nice, so it's a help to him."

The two smiled at each other and walked for a while. They arrived at Li Ruoshui's residence. Li Ruoshui quickly tidied up, preparing to go down the mountain with Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng suddenly asked, "Ruoshui, do you have a zither?"

"Yes, I do, but I haven't played it for a long time. Why?"

"Ah, my cousin asked me to bring one back for her, or it will be troublesome!"

"Wait a moment, I'll go get it!"

Li Ruoshui went back to her room and brought out the zither, handing it to Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng slung it over his back, and the two headed towards the mountain gate.

"Have you already informed the sect?"

"Yes, Elder Qing has taken care of everything." Li Ruoshui seemed a bit concerned about the gazes of the people around her, her face turning slightly red, and her voice lowering.

"Don't worry, everything is fine, I'll take care of it!" Sensing Li Ruoshui's unease, Lin Zheng held her small hand and said gently. Feeling the warmth of his palm, Li Ruoshui calmed down, smiled at Lin Zheng, and her expression became more natural. The two left the mountain gate, chatting and laughing.

At this time, the sun was high in the sky, and the warm sunlight shone on the two of them. Li Ruoshui, like a little bird, stretched out her arms, letting the wind blow through her, feeling particularly happy. The long-lost freedom instantly returned to her. Along the way, Li Ruoshui occasionally cheered, sometimes stopping to smell a small flower by the roadside, her smile never leaving her face.

Lin Zheng was also in a good mood. The two walked very slowly, enjoying the scenery along the way. Sometimes they would sit down to rest, leaning against each other in the sun, talking for a while, and then continuing on their way!

After about half an hour, they could see the small village at the foot of the mountain in the distance. Li Ruoshui seemed a bit nervous, tightly holding Lin Zheng's hand, looking at him with wide eyes. Lin Zheng couldn't help but laugh, gently tapping her nose and saying, "Don't worry, everyone at home is very kind, you will like them, and they will like you!"

"Yes, I understand!" Li Ruoshui suddenly smiled, but she still felt a bit anxious in her heart!

As they walked out of a small forest at the foot of the mountain, they could see the outline of the village in the distance. The two quickened their pace towards the village!

Before they reached the village entrance, they heard a child's voice shouting, "Sister-in-law is here, everyone come! Kongkong, Tiantian, you two come over, or you won't get any gifts!"

Lin Zheng looked in the distance and saw Xuanxuan, with her pigtails, shouting loudly to the village. Then, two children appeared at the entrance, and the three of them were running over!

Lin Zheng smiled helplessly, took a few steps forward, and squatted down, hugging the three little rascals at once.

"Hey, you three are so well-behaved today, you even came to greet us?" Lin Zheng said, looking at the three little rascals in his arms!

But the three little rascals didn't pay attention to Lin Zheng and quickly ran out of his arms, coming to Li Ruoshui's side. They lowered their heads and raised them, quickly changing their expressions, their bright eyes almost dripping with water.

Sure enough, Li Ruoshui couldn't resist the cute attack of the three little rascals and squatted down to look at them.

"Hello, my name is Li Ruoshui, nice to meet you," Li Ruoshui extended her hand.

"Wow, Sister-in-law is so beautiful, I'm Xuanxuan!"

"Yes, Sister-in-law is so gentle, I'm Kongkong!"

"Yes, Sister-in-law..." Tiantian extended his small hand and thought for a moment, "Yes, Sister-in-law's toys are great."

Thud, Lin Zheng fell over! Xuanxuan and Kongkong nodded their heads, the toys from this continent were very different from those in the Heavenly Realm, unique in style, and the three little rascals had never seen them before. Besides, children of this age were naturally fond of toys, so the three little rascals had already started to try to win Li Ruoshui's favor!

Seeing the three cute children, Li Ruoshui's heart instantly softened, and she started taking out the toys she had prepared from her spatial jade pendant! A small wooden horse powered by spirit stones, special small tops, and some cute wooden animals! Seeing that there were new toys to get, the three little rascals started to say sweet and pleasant words!

After a while, the three were satisfied, carrying a pile of toys, and walked back with Lin Zheng and Li Ruoshui!

At this time, a crowd had gathered at the village entrance. Li Ruoshui still felt a bit nervous, but Lin Zheng held her hand, smiled at her, and said to the crowd, "This is Li Ruoshui, our Lin family's daughter-in-law!"

"Welcome, welcome!" Everyone smiled warmly, without any pretense, and the genuine warmth made Li Ruoshui gradually relax!

"Ruoshui, this is Uncle, this is Uncle Hong, this is Auntie, this is..."

Lin Zheng started introducing the crowd to Li Ruoshui one by one. As they walked into the village, they got to know each other.

Lin Dao, in the crowd, looked at Li Ruoshui. The aura of his blade slowly dissipated, as if facing the sea. No, even the sea could be cut, but for some reason, he couldn't muster any blade aura when he saw Li Ruoshui. Lin Dao was shocked. It seemed that Li Ruoshui was no ordinary person and was a perfect match for his demon-like third brother!

Lin Dao and the others exchanged glances in the crowd, conveying their thoughts to each other. Li Ruoshui, with her gentle and approachable nature, had already been silently accepted by the older generation!

Some people's charm is inherently hard to resist!

At this moment, Lin Qin took the zither from behind Lin Zheng, couldn't resist sitting down, placed the zither on her lap, and gently swept her hands over the strings. The pleasant music sounded, clear and melodious, like a loving couple returning home and being welcomed by everyone, fitting the scene perfectly!

When the music ended, Lin Zheng was about to thank Lin Qin, but she looked at him playfully and loudly said, "Third Brother, how was it? This is a piece I just composed."

"Very good, very good!"

"This piece is called 'The Happy Couple Returns Home'!" As soon as Lin Zheng finished speaking, Lin Qin loudly announced the name of the new piece!

Lin Zheng: "..."

PS: Nianhua: "Do you think it's over? Lin Zheng, give everyone a few lines!"

Lin Zheng: "Ah!"

Nianhua: "Give the gentlemen a smile!"

Lin Zheng: "Hey!"

Nianhua, angry: "Be serious!"

Lin Zheng: "Hehe!"

Nianhua: "Get them to give red tickets!"

Lin Zheng: "Top!"

Ha ha! Everyone, support more! Applaud more!
