Chapter 755: Dowry, Bodhi Seed

And after about an hour, the birthday banquet of the Cao family host also gradually dispersed.

Of course, although the banquet had ended, the matter that Xuankongzi announced at the banquet.

Yet it still caused the guests who came today to celebrate the birthday to engage in lively discussion.

After all, this matter concerns the future of their family or sect, and no one can afford to not take it seriously.

As for Lin Feng, at the moment the banquet ended, he also let out a great sigh of relief.

At the banquet, for some reason, some of the Cao family youths always looked at him with a gaze full of envy, jealousy, and helplessness.

This situation made him feel strange, and also extremely helpless.

After all, he couldn't possibly drive them all away.

Moreover, this is the Cao family manor, someone else's territory; how could he drive them away?

"Lin Feng, do you want to go to the Dan family together with me?"

After the banquet ended, Danxuan immediately brought that old man to Lin Feng's side and asked.

For some unknown reason, he always felt in his heart that the Cao family's attitude toward Lin Feng seemed somewhat strange.

Therefore, he decided to call the former away, so that the Cao family wouldn't pull any tricks.

"Danxuan, sorry, my father has something to discuss with him later."

However, just as the former spoke, Cao Ying suddenly came out to stop Danxuan.

However, as she spoke, a faint blush flashed across her perfect cheek.

But quickly, she suppressed her emotions, gave a charming smile toward Lin Feng, lightly opened her lips and said: "Lin Feng, what do you think?"

"No problem."

Upon hearing that the Cao family patriarch had something to discuss with him, Lin Feng pondered briefly and then agreed.

After saying that, he turned to Danxuan and said: "Brother-in-law, I still have some matters to attend to; I need to leave for a while, let's go to the Dan family another time."

"That works."

Upon hearing that the former had matters to attend to, Danxuan didn't say more, nodded, and then turned and left the venue.

Watching Danxuan and that old man disappear around the building's corner, Lin Feng immediately turned his head toward Cao Ying and asked curiously: "What does your father want to discuss with me?"

"Swish~"

Hearing that, Cao Ying's egg-white-like pretty face instantly flushed with a blush.

Then she gave the former a glance and said: "I don't know; you can go ask him yourself later, then it'll be clear."

After saying that, she immediately rose quickly and somewhat hurriedly walked toward the door.

At the same time, she didn't forget to turn her head and say: "Come with me."

"With this appearance, those who don't know might think your father intends to marry you off to me."

Seeing that flustered expression, Lin Feng made a comment, then got up and followed behind her.

Meanwhile, Cao Ying ahead, upon hearing the sound from behind, her face turned even redder in an instant.

Although she is usually resourceful, when facing her own lifelong matter now, her emotions remain hard to calm.

"Creak~"

After walking for a while inside the manor, Lin Feng followed her to a room.

"Lin Feng, you've come."

Just as he entered the room, the Cao family patriarch, seated quietly beside the side table, slowly spoke.

"I don't know what matter you, senior, have summoned me, junior, for."

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Feng immediately clasped his fists and inquired.

At the same time, a flash of surprise crossed his face.

From the fact that he arrived at the room earlier than him and Cao Ying.

The Cao family patriarch must have sent Xuankongzi out of the Cao family and then returned directly without further conversation.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to arrive before the two of them.

Seeing Lin Feng's inquiry, the Cao family patriarch also responded readily, directly saying: "I don't want to beat around the bush; I'll tell you straight: the reason Chen Er was sent out ahead of time is actually because our Cao family proposed it first."

"Why is that?"

His words left Lin Feng momentarily puzzled, and he then asked further.

"Because of you."

After a brief pause, the Cao family patriarch continued: "More accurately, I intend to betroth Ying'er to you. I also know that you have a very poor relationship with Xuankongzi and the three of them; to avoid embarrassing you, I simply cut off ties with him first."

"This time I summoned you also to ask: are you willing to marry Ying'er as your wife?"

Upon hearing his explanation, Lin Feng's expression instantly turned to astonishment.

He never expected that his offhand joke earlier would actually come true!

At the same time, many things he previously couldn't understand suddenly became clear.

He now understands why Cao Ying's face has been constantly red today.

Also, why those younger members of the Cao family looked at him with that kind of gaze.

It turns out the root of all this is the Cao family patriarch's desire to marry Cao Ying to him!

Just as Lin Feng was dazed, Cao Ying beside him saw that this guy delayed in responding, and her pretty face instantly furrowed.

Immediately after, she raised her jade foot and stepped heavily on his foot.

Being stepped on like that, Lin Feng also came to his senses.

Immediately after, he quickly clasped his fists and said: "Senior, since you are willing to betroth Miss Cao Ying to me, I naturally have no reason to refuse. However, in this haste I have not prepared anything, so I am somewhat rude."

Upon hearing his agreement, Cao Ying's pretty face, which had just faded its blush, instantly flushed again.

Although she knows in her heart that this guy has some feelings for her, he will certainly not refuse.

But upon hearing the other party's agreement, Cao Ying, for some unknown reason, suddenly felt at a loss, like a startled deer.

At this moment, the Cao family's usually calm and composed enchantress was completely flustered.

"Hehe, it's fine, after all I'm marrying my daughter to you, not for such a trivial thing. As long as you treat her well, it's more important than anything."

Upon hearing the former's agreement, the Cao family patriarch immediately waved his hand, indicating he didn't care.

"Senior, rest assured, junior guarantees that in this life I will wholeheartedly treat Ying'er well and not let her suffer the slightest injustice."

Hearing that, Lin Feng immediately performed a salute, speaking solemnly.

After speaking, he pondered for a moment, then still feeling a pang of heartache, he gritted his teeth lightly, wiped his spatial ring, and took out a jade box.

As he extended the jade box, he said: "Senior, the Bodhi Pill produced earlier at the pill assembly has already been used by me. This jade box contains a Bodhi seed; I hope you won't disdain it."

While speaking, Lin Feng gently opened the lid of the jade box.

In an instant, a refreshing fragrance that caused the fighting qi in several people's bodies to suddenly accelerate slowly drifted out, filling the room.

"A Bodhi seed!!"

Upon hearing these three words, Cao Ying and the Cao family patriarch instantly couldn't control themselves and exclaimed.

As for the Cao family patriarch, he could no longer remain seated.

Seeing this, he no longer cared about the senior's dignity, quickly rose and flashed to Lin Feng's side.

As for Cao Ying, she likewise couldn't wait to deploy her body technique and martial skill, rushing over.

Immediately, both of their gazes turned to the small jade box in his hand.

Immediately, they saw a thumb-sized, entirely emerald-green, round and smooth pearl lying quietly inside the jade box.

Strands of wondrous fragrance continuously emanated from within it.

"This Bodhi seed, true to its reputation as a treasure that can aid Nine-turn Dou Zun Peak experts in increasing their chances of breaking through to the Half Saint Realm, even its fragrance alone can accelerate the circulation of my fighting qi."

Gazing at that emerald-green bead, the Cao family patriarch's eyes instantly burned hot as he muttered.
