Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Genius Eldest Miss vs. Reborn Concubine-born Daughter (Part 34)

She turned to Cheng Ling, who was still somewhat bewildered, and asked, “What plans do you have for the future?”

Cheng Lingyu has now successfully awakened and can cultivate Mystic Qi, which means she has some ability to protect herself.

Moreover, her current status is quite troublesome—the Second Prince’s concubine.

All these consequences result from Cheng Ling’s actions, but now Cheng Lingyu must bear them all.

Cheng Lingyu was also somewhat confused.

Gu Shengyin could only say: “You should stay longer in the other courtyard this time, think clearly about your future path, and let me know once you’ve figured it out.”

She sincerely felt her fifth sister was truly pitiable.

The two left the other courtyard.

The Great High Priest couldn’t help but ask Gu Shengyin, “Why are you so concerned about your sister’s affairs?”

Why? Gu Shengyin thought for a moment. Perhaps it’s because she had given her too much attention from the beginning, and throughout the journey, she couldn’t pretend to be indifferent.

She shook her head: “Maybe it’s because of fate?”

The Great High Priest didn’t dwell on this topic but brought up another matter.

“When do you plan to marry me?”

Gu Shengyin was taken aback: “Marriage?” It was too soon.

The Great High Priest said matter-of-factly: “On the Tianxuan Continent, the next step after mutual affection is marriage.”

He paused and looked at Gu Shengyin: “Linyin, are you unwilling?”

Gu Shengyin was certainly not unwilling, she just hadn’t expected him to act so swiftly.

But since the Great High Priest had brought it up, she certainly wouldn’t reject it.

After receiving affirmation from the disciple, the Great High Priest nodded: “I’ll first seek your opinion, and then I’ll send someone to your home to propose marriage.”

…

The Great High Priest’s speed was absolutely of the lightning-fast variety. Not even three days had passed after saying this, and he personally visited the Protectorate Great General’s Mansion.

The Protectorate General Cheng Qugang, who was usually solemn and imposing in front of outsiders, welcomed the Great High Priest with trepidation, then engaged in a conversation filled with apprehension, accepted an incredibly precious gift, and respectfully sent him off.

Even after the person left, his expression was somewhat dazed.

Just now… what exactly happened?

The Great High Priest had just proposed marriage to him, wanting to take Linyin as his wife!

General Cheng finally returned to his senses, and when he realized what this meant, his face was filled with undisguisable joy.

The Great High Priest had just said he wanted to marry Linyin as his wife!

From now on, the Protectorate Great General’s Mansion would have the most powerful marriage alliance!

“Servants, go invite Madam to go together to the Old Madam’s courtyard.”

The few masters of the Protectorate Great General’s Mansion were all overjoyed upon receiving this news, and it was only then that Cheng Qugang remarked, “The Great High Priest’s intention seems quite urgent…”

The Old Madam interrupted: “Where is Yinyin?”

General Cheng just remembered that his daughter was still in Xuantian Tower.

At this moment, a servant suddenly came to report: The eldest miss has returned to the mansion.

The Old Madam finally nodded: “That’s more appropriate. A bride should be at her mother’s home preparing for the wedding.”

The Protectorate Great General’s Mansion sat joyfully in preparation, and news spread that the Great High Priest was going to marry his little disciple Cheng Linyin.

Everyone envied the Cheng family’s good fortune for having a good daughter who captured the heart of the Great High Priest.

As for gossip?

In this world, where strength is revered, who dares to speak a word of gossip about the Great High Priest?
