Capítulo 2235: Chapter 2212: Lan Yuxin’s Fiancé!
Lin Bai looked at the token in Lan Yuxin’s hand, which was engraved with dense runes.
Among the runes, the word “Saint” stood out.
On the back of this token, four large characters read “Lan Clan.”
This signifies that this is a recommendation token from the Lan Clan.
“It seems you guessed I would definitely participate in the quasi-saint son selection, so you even brought the recommendation token,” Lin Bai said with a faint smile, accepting the token.
With Lin Bai’s strength, although he is currently among the top in the Southern Yard, his cultivation is not high, only at the Eighth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm. Therefore, the South Campus of the Dongzhou Academy would not recommend Lin Bai for the quasi-saint son selection.
Only the Lan Clan, because of its numerous ties with Lin Bai, is willing to recommend him for the quasi-saint son selection.
Lan Yuxin smiled meaningfully, “Since you’ve accepted the token, I must remind you, every quasi-saint son selection is extremely cruel!”
“The warriors within the Dongzhou Academy call the quasi-saint son selection a ‘reshuffling of the Life-and-Death Ranking!'”
“Because after each quasi-saint son selection, the warriors on the Life-and-Death Ranking mostly do not survive! At that point, other young experts will occupy the positions on the Life-and-Death Ranking!”
“You can imagine how many will die during the quasi-saint son selection.”
Lan Yuxin said solemnly.
“I understand.” Lin Bai nodded.
“There’s one more thing…” Lan Yuxin hesitated.
Curious, Lin Bai asked, “What is it?”
Lan Yuxin didn’t immediately speak, but a blush appeared on her face.
Lin Bai frowned at Lan Yuxin.
Lan Yuxin took a deep breath and said, “Because the Lan Clan is recommending you for the quasi-saint son selection, and according to the usual practice, the Lan Clan can only recommend disciples from within the clan!”
“Now that the Lan Clan has recommended you, it doesn’t quite follow the rules!”
“So, when you participate in the quasi-saint son selection, you must use the identity of a member of the Lan Clan!”
Lan Yuxin spoke softly.
“But I’m not originally a member of the Lan Clan.” Lin Bai frowned.
Lan Yuxin blushing said, “So, when you participate in the quasi-saint son selection, the identity you will use is my… fiancé!”
“What?” Lin Bai looked at Lan Yuxin with wide eyes.
Lan Yuxin, with a shy face, said, “My fiancé! Only with this identity, can you silence the strong ones in the Lan Clan and rightfully participate in the quasi-saint son selection!”
“Don’t worry, it’s just a nominal arrangement, after you finish the selection, the Lan Clan will naturally clarify the situation!”
Lin Bai frowned and said, “As a man, I don’t care, but for you, taking on such a reputation for no reason might cause issues with your future husband!”
“Forget it, I won’t participate in this quasi-saint son selection!”
Lin Bai spoke while returning the token to Lan Yuxin.
Lin Bai wasn’t concerned with his reputation, but Lan Yuxin was different. Besides being a core member of the Lan Clan and the pride of the heavens, if such a reputation spread, it might be hard for her to marry in the future.
Seeing Lin Bai return the token, Lan Yuxin glared and said, “It’s not my idea, it’s my father’s idea!”
“Anyway, I’ve given you the token, and I’ve fulfilled my father’s arrangement.”
“I’m leaving!”
“Remember, ten days later, come to the Lan Clan to set off for… the Tianfu Secret Realm!”
After saying that, Lan Yuxin didn’t even glance at Bauer before flying directly out of Dragon Raising Island.
Leaving Dragon Raising Island, Lan Yuxin pursed her lips and said, “You’re not willing? You think I am!”
“Hmph.”
Lan Yuxin snorted lightly, a bit unhappy.
Instantly, she went far away.
Lin Bai watched Lan Yuxin leave Dragon Raising Island, holding the token in his hand, and frowned, “Is this Lan Ling’s intention?”
“What on earth does Lan Ling mean?”
Lin Bai frowned.
“Forget it, since it’s Lord Lan Ling’s arrangement, I’ll go through the motions at this quasi-saint son selection.” Lin Bai took a deep breath, returned to the palace, sat cross-legged, and devoted himself to cultivation.
In no time, Lan Yuxin returned to the Lan Clan and met with Lan Ling.
“Dad, I’m back.” Lan Yuxin’s pretty face was full of displeasure.
At the pond’s edge, Lan Ling chuckled, “What’s wrong? When I asked you to go to Dragon Raising Island to let Lin Bai join the quasi-saint son selection, you were beaming. Why are you unhappy now?”
“What? Did Lin Bai bully you?”
Lan Ling asked with a smile.
“No.” Lan Yuxin said with a face full of resentment.
Lan Ling asked, “What exactly happened?”
Lan Yuxin took a deep breath and recounted what happened on Dragon Raising Island to Lan Ling.
“I thought it was something serious! So, it’s just a small matter.” Lan Ling said, shaking his head.
Lan Yuxin said, “Dad, I’m just upset. This recommendation token, you went through so much effort to get it. For this, you even offended a few elders in the clan, and Lin Bai is acting like this…”
Lan Ling said, “Did he do anything wrong? He’s considering your honor, if he were heartless, he wouldn’t have outright refused!”
“He’s worried that if he participates in the selection as your fiancé, it will adversely affect you in the future!”
“Don’t tell me you brought the token back?”
“He didn’t want it? Did you really bring it back?”
Lan Ling looked at Lan Yuxin with wide eyes.
“I didn’t, I just threw the token to him, whether he wants it or not! Auntie won’t serve!” Lan Yuxin said angrily.
“Good, as long as he accepted the token, that’s fine.”
Lan Ling nodded lightly.
At this moment, Lan Yuxin said, “Dad, should you go to appease those few elders in the clan…”
“The elders?” Lan Ling laughed, “Lan Zhaoqing?”
Lan Yuxin lightly nodded, “Elder Zhaoqing’s only son, who is also at the peak of the Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm. Originally, this recommendation token should have belonged to his son, but now it went to Lin Bai…”
“I’m worried the elder might…”
Lan Ling shook his head and said, “No worries, it’s just an old thing nearing its end, no need to bother with him!”
Lan Yuxin pondered and said, “Dad, now Lin Bai’s cultivation is still not high, only at the Eighth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm. Recommending him to the quasi-saint son selection now seems a bit rushed.”
Lan Ling took a deep breath and said, “The sooner the better, they can’t wait that long!”
“They?” Lan Yuxin frowned, “Dad, are you talking about Uncle Lin Duo?”
Lan Ling shook his head and said, “No, it’s those old monsters of the Central Holy Nation, they’ve waited for over twenty years, their patience is about to run out…”
