The scene froze at the moment when the experts of the Three Teachings arrived together, and Lin Chuan woke up.
He quickly flipped over and got up, coming out of the house.
"Lü Ya, how many days have I slept this time?"
"Young Master, you have slept for five days."
These days, the news that Lin Chuan, the young master of Lin, was a Cultivator spread throughout the streets and alleys, and most families in You Shui County knew about it.
As Lin Chuan's personal maid, Lü Ya naturally knew as well.
Her Young Master was actually a Cultivator?
Lü Ya secretly rejoiced for a long time because of this; she would be a Cultivator's maid from now on, what good fortune!
Cultivators were just great; they even slept longer than ordinary people.
"Has nothing happened in the manor recently?"
The matter of the demonic creatures' rampage had just passed, and Demon Slayer Zhao Zhiming's attitude was unclear, so Lin Chuan was worried that the government would put pressure on the Lin family.
"Of course something happened."
Lü Ya covered her mouth and chuckled.
Lin Chuan had a bad premonition, "What is it?"
"A major marriage matter."
Lü Ya said, "After the news of you being a Cultivator spread, many families' Young Misses want to marry you. Even the county magistrate brought gifts."
"Ah?"
Lin Chuan was dumbfounded.
He didn't want to get married young.
The wives in his dreams were much better than in reality, and he also didn't want to marry a mortal woman and face separation by death decades later.
Lü Ya said, "Young Miss has been entertaining various people in the main hall these past few days. We are in business and value connections, so it's hard to refuse. Your servant sees that Young Miss is having a difficult time."
"Alas, I'll go take a look."
Lin Chuan sighed lightly and headed towards the main hall.
Between the Void Realm, two gazes were watching Lin Chuan's every move.
"It really is my husband."
Mo Sangyu held her daughter, her brows furrowed with worry, "I'm afraid my husband's Reincarnation body no longer recognizes me. If I rashly reveal myself, I might scare him."
Furthermore, she hoped her husband would remember him.
And not to interact with her husband's Reincarnation body in another identity; that was absolutely not what she desired.
"Mother, let's go down and recognize Daddy."
Little Ru Meng was anxious.
"Wait a little longer."
Mo Sangyu wanted to wait for a suitable identity.
"If we wait any longer, Daddy will be snatched away, Mother, look."
Little Ru Meng pointed forward.
At this moment, Lin Chuan had already arrived at the main hall. Half of the prominent figures in You Shui County had arrived, gathered at the Lin family, and there were also many from the neighboring county towns.
Every household brought a beautiful and charming daughter, along with eight baskets of festive gifts.
Seeing Lin Chuan arrive, all eyes converged on him.
"Lin Gongzi, you've finally arrived."
"Hahahaha, Lin Gongzi has appeared, it seems he fancies our daughter."
"You're spouting nonsense! Lin Gongzi is clearly here for my Cui Hua."
The already lively main hall instantly boiled over.
Lin Chuan rubbed his forehead; it seemed he had still underestimated the influence of a Cultivator.
After the demon incident that night, he also learned some information: the Great Yan Dynasty had a specialized Cultivator organization, directly under Imperial power.
No local administrative body had the authority to control Cultivators.
This was also why Cultivators held such a high status.
However, this scene still made Lin Chuan feel a bit exaggerated. He had never seen something like bringing daughters to propose marriage.
Not only did they come to propose, but they were also fighting over him.
They didn't treat their daughters as people but as bargaining chips for power.
Lin Yangyang cast a glance at Lin Chuan, signaling him to handle it himself.
"Oh no, oh no, Daddy is really going to be snatched away!"
Little Ru Meng, watching this scene from the Void Realm, was about to die of anxiety. This was her Daddy, how could she let others snatch him away?
Mo Sangyu's willow brows furrowed tightly.
She could accept Lin Chuan being weak and growing slowly, but she didn't want her husband to marry and have children again.
What kind of situation would that be?
"Never mind, let Mengmeng go first, and disrupt these rotten peach blossoms of my husband!"
Mo Sangyu made up her mind.
Even if her husband's memory hadn't recovered, he would still be close to their daughter, and perhaps she could even help her husband remember his previous life.
Thinking of this, Mo Sangyu put her daughter down.
"Go, Mengmeng, go find Daddy."
"Okay."
Space rippled, and Lin Ru Meng walked out of the Void Realm, happily running towards Lin Chuan with bare feet.
"Daddy~"
"Daddy~ Daddy~"
The intimate address and tender voice quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, their gazes focusing on the outside of the hall.
"Whose child is that?"
"So beautiful."
"Truly well-behaved and adorable."
Lin Ru Meng perfectly inherited Mo Sangyu's genes; she was born with red lips and white teeth, exquisitely carved like jade, and her smile was so pure it melted hearts.
The young ladies present all showed smiles.
No one seemed to care why this adorable little girl appeared here.
Even the Lin family guards were indifferent.
Under everyone's gaze, little Ru Meng ran all the way into the main hall and, amidst astonished looks, hugged Lin Chuan's thigh.
"Daddy!"
Little Ru Meng looked up, gazing at her father whom she was meeting for the first time, yet she felt an immense sense of familiarity.
At the sound of "Daddy," Lin Chuan was dumbfounded.
What? I'm a father?
What's going on? I'm still a virgin! How did I become a father?
Whose child is this?!
Even if she's adorable and makes one want to hug her, you can't slander people like this!
Lin Yangyang was also dumbfounded.
Her younger brother rarely left the house; when did he get married? And secretly had a child?
And she's already grown this big?
All the suitors were dumbfounded.
Lin Gongzi has a child? Their daughters lost the chance to be the main wife, so they'd strive to be a second wife then.
"Little girl, did you mistake me for someone else?"
Lin Chuan recovered, looking at the little girl hugging his thigh. He actually felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her before, yet he didn't know where.
"No mistake at all! You are Mengmeng's Daddy!"
Little Ru Meng hugged Lin Chuan's thigh tightly, pressing her small face against it, refusing to let go.
The others tacitly chose to keep quiet, becoming onlookers.
Lin Chuan had a splitting headache.
Although he really wanted to have such an adorable daughter, he still didn't want to become a father without knowing why.
Lin Yangyang walked over and picked up little Ru Meng, "Girl, what's your mother's name?"
"My mother?"
Lin Ru Meng pouted her little mouth, thought long and hard, and only then realized she didn't even know her mother's name. She replied blankly:
"I think she's just called Mother."
A black line appeared on Lin Yangyang's forehead.
It seems this girl is trying to con the Lin family! Who is behind this?
"Then what's your name?" Lin Yangyang asked.
"Lin Ru Meng."
"Did you come alone?"
"And Mother."
"Where is your mother?"
"Right there... Eh! Where's Mother? Why is she gone?"
Little Ru Meng paused, then said:
"It must be because Daddy wants to marry others, which made Mother angry, so Mother hid."
With that, she put her hands on her hips and angrily pointed at the others.
"You are all bad people, go away! You're not allowed to snatch Daddy from Mengmeng and Mother!"
Seeing this, everyone realized it was a troublesome matter. They bowed to Lin Yangyang, said a few polite words, and then awkwardly departed.
Before long, the large hall was left with only the Lin family siblings and little Ru Meng.
Lin Yangyang held the little girl, scrutinizing her again and again, then compared her to Lin Chuan.
"Don't tell me, this girl really does resemble you, Chuan'er. Be honest with your sister, have you had a romantic entanglement outside?"
