Chapter 1601: Chapter 1599: Xiao Yu in Panic

Ling Feng furrowed his brow slightly and said, "Brother Murong, this matter isn’t really difficult for me, and I’m also happy to help you achieve your desire, but I’m not actually an Abyss Tribesperson. This isn’t a secret, so according to your plan... aren’t you afraid people from the Murong House will see through it?"

Murong Xingguang frowned; this truly was a difficult problem to solve.

Ling Feng patted Murong Xingguang’s shoulder and said, "I’ll recognize Xiao Yu as my sworn sister. If she’s willing, she can take my surname Ling, and you must not rush this; at least wait until you have the power to stand against your family before you can truly be with Xiao Yu!"

Murong Xingguang exhaled and said, "Yes, I have been a bit impatient. Ling Feng, let’s do as you say, thank you!"

"A gentleman helps others achieve their beauty!" Ling Feng said with a smile, "Oh right, does Xiao Yu know your true feelings? Don’t get all emotional only to find out she doesn’t like you back."

Murong Xingguang tossed his head and said, "How could that be? I am quite confident in my charm, and besides, as long as I like her, it’s enough. She’s never been close to any other man but me."

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Narcissist, bring your beloved in here, we still need her opinion on this."

When Xiao Yu walked into the room and heard the plan between the two of them, she was completely stunned.

She widened her eyes, her small mouth adorably open, "Young Master, you must be joking, right? This... this is impossible!"

Murong Xingguang held Xiao Yu’s hand and said affectionately, "Xiao Yu, I’m telling the truth. I’ve liked you since long ago. My heart is filled with you, which is why I’ve resisted all the various women my father introduced to me over the years. I just want to ask you one thing: are you willing to be with me forever?"

Xiao Yu’s eyes showed a hint of panic. Murong Xingguang’s words stirred a massive upheaval in her heart. She had never imagined that Young Master Murong would like her; she was just a maid, how could she win the favor of Young Master Murong?

"Young Master... I... I am just a maid, I..." Xiao Yu’s mind was obviously blank.

Murong Xingguang grasped Xiao Yu’s shoulders and said seriously, "What does it matter? I like you, not because of your status, but because I’m moved by your kindness and strength. Xiao Yu, do you not like me?"

Xiao Yu hurriedly waved her hand, "No, Young Master, Xiao Yu likes you very much, but... but Xiao Yu’s status is lowly, unworthy of you, and the Family Head won’t allow it..."

"That doesn’t matter!" Murong Xingguang showed a satisfied smile, "This is Ling Feng, the future Imperial Son-in-law. He’s willing to be your sworn brother, which means you’ll be the sister of the Imperial Son-in-law, and we can be together in the future!"

Xiao Yu was somewhat in disbelief, "Is... is this true?"

"Of course!" Murong Xingguang said seriously, "This is why I brought you here today!"

Xiao Yu’s heart was in turmoil, filled with excitement and joy yet also a dreamy incredulity. Young Master Murong was genteel and exceptional, a high and unattainable figure in Xiao Yu’s heart. Yet today, he confessed to her?

If it weren’t for Young Master’s sincere gaze, Xiao Yu would’ve thought he was teasing her!

"Xiao Yu, listen to whatever the Young Master arranges!"

"Great!" Murong Xingguang embraced Xiao Yu, murmuring, "Do you know how long I’ve restrained myself for this day to come? Now, I finally see the dawn of hope."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Ling Feng coughed lightly and said, "Alright, there’s still an outsider here, so know your limits!"

Murong Xingguang chuckled, "What outsider? You’re Xiao Yu’s sworn brother, we’re all family here!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and said, "I didn’t expect you to be like this, Murong Xingguang, but since Xiao Yu is becoming my sworn sister, she shouldn’t stay at the Murong Residence anymore!"

Xiao Yu looked a bit panicked, "Young Master, are you... not wanting Xiao Yu anymore?"

Looking at Xiao Yu, who resembled a scared little rabbit, Murong Xingguang patted her head, "Silly girl, if you become the sworn sister of the Imperial Son-in-law, it’s indeed not suitable for you to stay at the Murong Residence, but this way we can truly be together."

"I don’t want that. If the Young Master is willing, I can be your concubine, I don’t want to leave you!" Xiao Yu looked at Murong Xingguang pitifully, "As long as I can stay by Young Master’s side, I’m already satisfied!"

Murong Xingguang said tenderly, "But I’m not satisfied. I don’t want you to be a concubine; I want to marry you properly. I don’t want you to suffer from others’ gossip and rumors, I wish for you to be the happiest woman in the world!"

"Young Master..." Xiao Yu’s eyes reddened as she whispered, "Xiao Yu is not worthy of you doing this!"

"So tedious!" Ling Feng said with exasperation, "It’s only a temporary separation, it’s not like it’s life and death. Besides, I’m heading to the Abyssal Battlefield in a few days, and my sworn sister will be all alone in the Imperial Capital, aren’t you as my friend supposed to take care of her?"

Murong Xingguang chuckled, "That’s a good excuse, okay, you can go at ease, I’ve got it here."

After some banter, Xiao Yu gradually accepted Murong Xingguang’s arrangement, with Ling Feng recognizing Xiao Yu as his sworn sister, and Xiao Yu changing her name to Ling Yu, leaving the Murong House and temporarily staying at Ling Feng’s place.

For public announcement, it was stated that Xiao Yu resembled Ling Feng’s long-lost sister, which is why he recognized her as his sworn sister.

"Thank you so much, Ling Feng!" After everything was arranged, Murong Xingguang said sincerely, "If there’s anything you need from me in the future, as long as I can do it, I won’t hesitate, even if it means dying a thousand deaths!"

"I just wanted to help a foolish love-struck man!" Ling Feng waved his hand and said, "Also, I meant it when I said I’ll be going to the Abyssal Battlefield, so there are some things in the Imperial Capital you need to look after!"

"Is it your little maid?" Murong Xingguang chuckled.

"Of course not!" Ling Feng said with slight disdain, "Given your particular penchant for maids, how could I let my maid be under your care? I just established an organization, and if something happens in the Imperial Capital, help keep an eye on it!"

"What organization?"

"The Loose Cultivators Alliance!" Ling Feng said softly.
