There was silence in the room, and it took a long time for an elder to speak cautiously: "Actually, apart from other factors, Her Highness the Spirit Girl's suggestion is pertinent, but..."

He glanced at the Phantom Emperor. There was no extraneous expression on the latter's face, and it was impossible to guess his true thoughts.

The elder then continued: "In the eyes of outsiders, wouldn't it look like we were compromising and getting married in exchange for a chance to recuperate? This is so unfair to Her Highness the Spirit Girl."

"It's okay, I don't care." Zi Chenruo shook his head gently.

A few gossips are totally worthless to her, because she knows that people she knows well will only wish her and Yuling well, but strangers who are not familiar with her are making irresponsible remarks in secret, so what does it have to do with her?

"Please rest assured, veteran, I will not treat Chenruo badly." Yu Ling held her soft hand, her expression calm and unquestionable.

Phantom Spirit Emperor seemed to become extremely tired in an instant. He leaned back on the soft chair slightly, his eyes fell on Zi Chenruo, and asked in a deep voice: "Chenruo, have you really decided?"

Zi Chenruo nodded slightly and said slowly: "I hope my father will fulfill his wishes."

One second, two seconds, three seconds, a long silence.

Time seemed to flow extremely slowly at this moment, so slow that every second seemed like a year.

Zichenruo pursed her lips and waited. This was the closest she got to hope. Even her normally calm mind inevitably became concerned about gains and losses.

After all, she cannot be like some girls who dare to love and hate, who can abandon their tribe and family and only fly away with the one they love, wandering around the world.

She has passed that impulsive age, that age where love is the whole world.

She is the spirit daughter of the Phantom Tribe, and she has unavoidable responsibilities and obligations, so she is looking forward to her father's approval, and longs for the day when the family can sit together and have a warm and harmonious dinner.

You can hold hands with Yu Ling and walk on the tree-lined path of Zuxing Academy, just like you did many years ago.

Yu Ling seemed to see Zi Chenruo's complicated mood. He didn't say anything or urge her. He just stayed by her side quietly, like two stubborn rocks facing the endless turbulent sea water all around.

, standing silently in the surging wind and waves.

The Phantom Emperor's eyes slowly moved to Yu Ling. Too many complex emotions flashed through his eyes in an instant, and finally he sighed vaguely: "I only have one daughter, treat her well."

she."

Zichenruo's body froze slightly, and she looked at her father in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe what he said.

"But Your Majesty, how could Her Majesty Lingnu marry a Yuanling tribesman? This..." One of the elders opened his eyes wide and said in shock.

"Okay, this matter has come to an end. Once Guang Ling calculates a good time and auspicious date, we will come to Haosheng to prepare for the wedding."

Phantom Spirit Emperor stood up, walked around the long table and walked in front of Yu Ling and the others. He straightened Zi Chenruo's collar and cuffs with a solemn expression, and smoothed out every wrinkle carefully.

"Dad..." Zi Chenruo couldn't help but call out. Her eyes suddenly felt a little sour, so much so that she didn't dare to say any more, otherwise she was afraid that tears would burst out.

The Phantom Emperor smiled, with a rare tenderness: "If your mother could see this day, she would definitely be very happy."

He reached out and stroked Zi Chenruo's hair and said softly: "Our Chenruo has finally grown up and no longer needs my protection. In fact, I have thought about it a few years ago, which brat he will be in the future.

You are lucky enough to be loved by my daughter, but I look around and feel that there is no young man in the clan who is worthy of you."

"I just thought that getting married is a lifelong matter, and there must be no ambiguity or compromise. He must be very good to you, better than me, and he must be very, very good, stronger than me, so

Only then can I take over my burden, take care of you, protect you, and be good to you only for the rest of my life."

"I once thought that such a person might not appear for a long, long time, until that day, Yuan'er told me that you fell in love with a young man from the Bright Realm."

The Phantom Emperor's smile showed a complicated meaning, but it gradually became relieved.

"Time flies so fast. So much has changed in just five years. I may have really grown old and become a stubborn old man who doesn't listen to advice. It not only makes me suffer, but also makes you suffer too."

"I'm really sorry for your mother. I clearly promised you that she would sacrifice herself for the clan and I would keep you and take good care of you. But what have I done in these years to leave you alone in the cold and cruel Senluo?"

Even though I was suffering in the field, I thought this was the most correct choice.”

"I am not a qualified father. I stubbornly let you follow the path I planned for more than ten years. I thought I was good to you, but I never really cared about your feelings."

"So now, it's my turn to let go."

Phantom Spirit Emperor turned his head, looked at Yu Ling and said: "Yu Ling, are you willing to spend your whole life taking good care of Chenruo and not let her suffer the slightest grievance?"

Yu Ling looked at Zi Chenruo, a slight blush appeared on her face, her hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, and there was a faint mist in her eyes, as if she was trying her best to control the turbulent emotions in her heart.

"I do." Yu Ling said every word.

He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, when he was still on earth, as the best man of a friend, he witnessed a sacred moment, and those powerful vows still echoed deep in his memory.

So he naturally blurted out: "I am willing, no matter good times or bad times, poor or rich, she will be the only partner in my life, no matter in the past, present or future, forever and ever."

Although Yu Ling is not a person who likes to prove his feelings with words, he will not miss a word of his oath when necessary.

When you love someone, you should say it outright, and you shouldn't wait until you miss it before regretting it.

Phantom Spirit Emperor looked at him deeply, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just remained silent and handed Zi Chenruo's hand to Yu Ling.

The two intertwined their fingers, and Zi Chenruo could no longer hold back, tears slowly overflowed from his eyes and slid down his cheeks.

She was crying and laughing, and suddenly hugged Yu Ling tightly, and her voice was small but extremely firm: "I am willing too."

All the elders of the Phantom Clan couldn't help but look at each other in shock. Even the elder who had been the most fiercely opposed before could not say a word when he saw this scene.

A faint smile appeared on the Phantom Spirit Emperor's face silently. Infinite emotion surged in his heart, and he finally turned around and walked out of the door silently.

He knew that he was a little impulsive. From a rational perspective, this was not the best choice for the Phantom Clan.

But he was also tired. As His Majesty the Spiritual Emperor, he had been constantly sacrificing and compromising until his only daughter became as alienated as Qiu Yu.

Just be willful once, now he is just an ordinary father, not the Spirit Emperor of the Phantom Clan.

He sat on the bench where Yu Ling had just sat, quietly looking at the fragrance in the courtyard, and finally felt the long-lost peace and tranquility.

Obviously the future is still full of unknowns, full of all kinds of contradictions and conflicts that are difficult to reconcile, but at this moment, he feels that he is free.

It's just that this warm and beautiful feeling didn't last long. With the sound of rapid footsteps, the silence was broken.

A Western Union elder hurried over, seemingly holding a petite figure in his arms. Even though she was wrapped in layers of bandages and gauze, blood was still dripping down her face.

"Alliance leader, alliance leader! Something big has happened!"

Elder Xi Lian ignored the crowd of Phantoms in the yard and rushed directly to the door, shouting urgently.

At this time, Yu Linggang and Zi Chenruo separated. Before they could say anything, they smelled the smell of blood filling the air.

"What's wrong?" Yu Ling's heart sank, and she had an extremely bad premonition.

"This is Che Xu, a direct disciple of Huayun Valley. She just suddenly appeared through teleportation. She was covered in blood. She said she had urgent matters to tell the leader, and then she passed out. We fed her a lot of pills, but...
