Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1424

Chapter 1424: Chapter 735: Take Action

"Heavenly Martial Realm Second Realm Peak, not bad."

Xiao Mengling stood up and greeted, her long skirt falling gracefully.

"Father, your sudden arrival, is there an important matter concerning the sect?"

Xiao Xuanze pondered for a moment, then took out an ancient jade pendant from his sleeve.

"Do you still remember, before you were born, I arranged a marriage for you?"

Xiao Mengling’s eyes flashed, her gaze resting on the jade pendant. The entire pendant was green, with a coiled dragon carved on the front and the character ’Gu’ on the back.

"Matched by the belly..."

She murmured softly.

"The Gu family?"

"Indeed."

Xiao Xuanze nodded.

"Back then, your father and the Gu family head, Gu Shanhe, were sworn brothers. Your mother and Madam Gu were pregnant at the same time, so we agreed on this marriage. Later, the Gu family encountered a mishap and relocated the whole clan, and this affair was put on hold."

Xiao Mengling received the jade pendant, feeling its warm touch at her fingertips.

"Has someone from the Gu family come now?"

"Gu Sheng, son of Gu Shanhe, presented this token as he arrived."

Xiao Xuanze’s eyes carried appreciation.

"This young man reached the third realm in the Heavenly Martial Realm at a young age, with exceptional grace, quite pleasing in your father’s eyes."

The training room fell silent, only the subtle sound of spiritual power flowing could be heard.

Xiao Mengling returned the jade pendant to her father, her expression calm.

"I remember this arranged marriage. By duty and reason, I indeed should meet Young Master Gu."

Xiao Xuanze was about to speak yet heard his daughter continue.

"But three days hence, my master will act as my protector, tackling the bottleneck of the third realm in the Heavenly Martial Realm. My master’s time is precious as a peak sect realm expert; this retreat cannot be compromised."

"Ling’er..."

Xiao Xuanze frowned slightly.

"It’s merely a face-to-face meeting, won’t take much time."

Xiao Mengling lifted her gaze, meeting her father’s eyes stubbornly.

"Father knows your daughter’s nature. On the path of the martial arts, no distractions are allowed."

The father and daughter stared at each other for a moment before Xiao Xuanze finally sighed lightly.

"Fine. Just return to the sect after your breakthrough."

"Thank you for understanding, Father."

Xiao Mengling bowed respectfully.

"If there’s nothing else, I must prepare for my retreat."

Xiao Xuanze nodded, turned to leave, but paused again.

"Ling’er, Gu Sheng’s parents specifically said, this marriage shouldn’t be forced, everything depends on your fate together."

Xiao Mengling faced away from her father, her stance paused slightly, but she didn’t turn back.

"I understand."

After Xiao Xuanze left, the door of the training room slowly closed. Xiao Mengling stood still, her gaze landing on her palm.

There, unnoticed before, a tiny flame pattern had emerged, giving off a faint red glow.

"Matched by the belly..."

She whispered softly to herself.
