After the three of them left, Xiaobei squinted his eyes.

Soon, Xiaobei looked forward and spoke casually, "Since you're here, why not come out?"

Having spoken calmly, Xiaobei received no response…

A slightly surprised smile appeared on Xiaobei's face as he spoke again, "What? Are you still planning to make me pull you out personally?"

As he asked this, Xiaobei turned his head toward the six o'clock direction…

In that instant, a gentle rustle came from the grass, and soon, a figure wrapped entirely in a black robe appeared in front of Xiaobei.

"Previously, the Family Head told me your skills were exceptional. I was somewhat skeptical, but now I believe it! Over the years, you're the first to actively detect me!"

Upon hearing his slightly hoarse voice, Xiaobei squinted his eyes and said, "Your Qi Concealing level is indeed impressive, but there are still flaws! Did you come looking for me for a reason?"

As he reached the end of his sentence, Xiaobei took another close look at him…

Xiaobei knew this should be a hidden character of the Lin Family…

"Such a Hidden Family is indeed not simple!"

With a serene admiration, Xiaobei heard his slightly hoarse voice…

"Yes! The Family Head wants to invite you over!"

"Alright, I got it. I'll be there soon!"

"Oh, by the way, may I ask you a question?"

Looking at him a bit unexpectedly, Xiaobei nodded lightly, "Go ahead and ask!"

"Why did you seriously entrust everything to them before? Aren't you worried they might repay kindness with revenge?"

Confidence flashed in his eyes, and Xiaobei quickly replied, "I'm not worried because I have a knack for judging people! Besides, even if they repaid kindness with revenge, I'm truly unafraid; their prowess cannot surpass mine!"

"This..."

Seeing he was about to speak more, Xiaobei simply waved his hand, "Alright, enough nonsense, lead the way!"

"Sure!"

He glanced deeply at Xiaobei and began earnestly leading the way…

Xiaobei chuckled and gently followed along…

To be honest, Xiaobei wasn't really worried, because Xiaobei knew his abilities were strong, so even if they pursued, they couldn't catch up with him.

Five minutes later, Xiaobei arrived in front of the grand hall!

Seeing him without any intention of entering, Xiaobei stepped in.

As Xiaobei disappeared, the robed figure took a deep breath and spoke hoarsely.

"His future is indeed limitless!"

After such praise, he took a step back.

At that moment, he once again vanished completely like a phantom…

Inside the grand hall, after Xiaobei passed through, he looked ahead, slightly surprised…

Because he found over a dozen people there at that moment…

"Uncles, big brothers, good evening!"

Knowing they gathered here certainly to discuss something with him, Xiaobei restrained his casual smile…

"Ah, Xiaobei, no need for such courtesy, just sit anywhere!"

"Exactly, we're all family!"

"That's right!"

Hearing the gentle words, Xiaobei slightly nodded, and soon he sat down to the side…

After sitting down, Xiaobei asked curiously, "Uncle, big brother, what did you call me here for this time?"

Upon hearing Xiaobei's direct inquiry, their expressions seemed slightly solemn…

Soon, they spoke softly, "We called you to discuss the matter of the spar three days later. You already know about this, right?"

"Yes! I'm aware!"

"You learned from Ling'er, didn't you?"

"Yes!"

"Do you know the details?"

"Fairly well!"

"Alright, we'll explain it in detail to you. We have more information!"

Having said this, they looked at Xiaobei and began seriously narrating…

It turns out, this so-called spar is extremely terrifying...

Because The Valley of the Wicked and several Hidden Families have deep-seated grudges, they all want to eliminate each other as quickly as possible.

Because of this, each spar reeks heavily of blood...

However, even so, they have no intention of retreating because the spar is very beneficial for the family...

After discussing all the accumulated grievances, they looked at the calm Xiaobei and spoke solemnly, "Xiaobei, you are an invaluable member of our family, so you should not participate this time. We'll find someone to take part!"

Hearing these words, Xiaobei took a deep breath and calmly said, "Big brother, if you find someone else to participate, what are the chances of winning?"

Slightly hesitating, the Lin Family Head replied awkwardly in a low voice, "Well… probably not very high, because the power gap is too great!"

"If that's the case, let me participate! At least I have a chance to win."

"But..."

Knowing he still intended to persuade him otherwise, Xiaobei waved his hand, "Big brother, there's no 'but' about it. I have absolute confidence in my abilities, so I can guarantee success!"

"Well… alright then! We'll continue to talk to you about some key points!"

"Alright!"

Agreeing, Xiaobei smiled…

Earlier, Xiaobei worried he would disagree. Now that he had been persuaded, Xiaobei understandably felt happy…

Truthfully, the Lin Family Head did not wish to consent either, but had no choice…

The opportunities to interact with Xiaobei weren't many, yet he knew Xiaobei was resolute. Therefore, they knew it was difficult to easily change decisions Xiaobei made!

Under such circumstances, they naturally did not waste further effort in persuasion…

Half an hour later, they saw Xiaobei off.

Afterwards, those people turned to look at the Family Head!

"Family Head, shouldn't we have tried to persuade him further? This spar is even more dangerous than before. Xiaobei's power is strong, yet problems might arise. If he encounters danger, we… we won't be able to explain to Ling'er!"

"Indeed!"

Hearing such earnest persuasion, he sighed and said, "Of course, I understand this. But you also know Xiaobei is resolute, random words simply won't shake his resolve!"

"This..."

Seeing they still had differing views, he slightly frowned and proposed his plan…

"At that time, let's assign several people to follow closely; if any danger arises, even breaking the rules, we'll bring Xiaobei back immediately!"

"This method sounds good!"

Upon hearing this, they thought momentarily and gently nodded…

They realized the method suggested might be the best course of action now, so there was truly no need to continue dwelling on the issue…

…

Meanwhile, Lin Ling'er returned to her room…

Looking at the room decorated festively, Lin Ling'er was utterly amazed!

Glancing at the red lanterns and red bed covers, she asked curiously.

"Is this a mistake? Is someone getting married today?"

The two maids accompanying Lin Ling'er heard her curiosity and replied, "Ling'er sister, it's not a wedding, an engagement is a joyful event too!"

Upon hearing their correction, Lin Ling'er nodded firmly…

"True! An engagement is a joyful event too, but who's getting engaged? I've never heard of it before!"

"Sister, you haven't heard because the engagement is yours with Brother-in-law Xiaobei!"

"What? It's me and Xiaobei?"

Stunned!

Lin Ling'er heard her cheerful response and was utterly bewildered…

"Yes, the Family Head previously specially arranged this room for you to rest with Brother-in-law Xiaobei later!"

Rubbing her temples, Lin Ling'er was bewildered…

"This… what did you say? We… we'll rest together?"

"Yes! Brother-in-law Xiaobei should be headed over here by now, so let's not waste time; let's help you change quickly!"
