Chapter 149
After the wedding, the two of them were married.
Li Zhuang woke up his daughter and comforted her for a while. After her emotions stabilized, he asked Lu Ren and Lin Jinyan to sit in the main hall.
Li Yingzi knelt in front of the two of them, and her small eyes looked at the couple in front of her curiously.
After the simple kneeling ceremony and the process of serving tea and toasting, this godparent relationship was established.
"Meet godfather and godmother!" Li Yingzi called out obediently, blinking her eyes, as if she was expecting something.
Lu Ren was the first to react.
After recognizing godparents, the elders need to give the children a gift.
However, since the incident happened suddenly, he did not prepare in advance. He searched his body and only took out a bag of gold coins, about 100 in number, which was enough for the three members of the Li family to live a prosperous life from now on.
Li Yingzi took the purse, thanked her sensibly, and then looked at Lin Jinyan.
The latter was silent for a moment, and took out a first-level technique suitable for women to practice.
"Godmother, what is this?"
Lin Jinyan smiled and touched Li Yingzi's head, saying, "You can take a look at it when you have nothing to do. If you can understand it one day and are interested in practicing this technique, you can come to the county city to find me."
The child was young and didn't know how valuable this gift was, but Li Zhuang was not stupid. He knelt down to thank Lin Jinyan on the spot.
Lu Ren stopped him and said with a smile: "Old Li, your daughter just knelt, and you are kneeling again now. Isn't it confusing the generations? You can't ask us to give you another gift?"
When Li Zhuang heard this, he scratched his head awkwardly, and then smiled with a simple face: "Mr. Lu, Lord Lin, I have no way to repay your kindness. When the child grows up in the future, I will definitely let her come to you to show filial piety."
"Uh.........No need, it's better for the child to stay with your biological parents. Lord Lin and I are both from the Demon Suppression Division. We live on the edge of a knife every day. It's very dangerous."
Before Li Zhuang could speak, Li Yingzi answered first: "Godfather and godmother, I'm not afraid! I also want to learn skills like you, and slay demons and protect the people in the future!"
Lu Ren and Lin Jinyan looked at each other at the same time, both feeling a little surprised.
It seems that the little girl must have been stimulated by the tragedy in the city, so she came up with this idea.
I don’t know whether she was just excited or really determined.
Anyway, let’s observe for a while, after all, no one can tell what will happen in the future.
“Okay, Lao Li, we still have things to do, so we’ll leave first.”
“Mr. Lu, Mr. Lin, at least have a meal before leaving?” Li Zhuang advised reluctantly.
“No, time is tight, take good care of your sister-in-law and Yingzi, and I’ll come to visit you again in the future.”
After saying that, Lu Ren no longer lingered, turned around and walked out of the yard, followed by Lin Jinyan.
Li Yingzi held the martial arts book that was still a little obscure to her, leaned on the door frame, and watched the two figures leave reluctantly.
With tears in her eyes, she whispered, "Goodbye, godfather and godmother!"
Lu Ren didn't like the scene of parting, so he didn't look back, but waved his hand with his back to the father and daughter of the Li family.
Lin Jinyan's reaction was somewhat unexpected.
She stopped, cut off a piece of green bamboo at the door, and the sword blade danced wildly.
Soon, a bamboo sword was carved into shape.
"Here." She handed the bamboo sword to Li Yingzi and said to her:
"This is for you to use for self-defense, but you can only use it when you are in danger, and you must not hurt others, understand?"
Li Yingzi nodded solemnly: "Well, I remember, godmother."
............
After leaving the Li family, Lu Ren finally couldn't help asking: "If I'm not wrong, the bamboo sword contains a sword of yours, right?"
Lin Jinyan nodded lightly.
"What about the martial arts? Isn't it forbidden to pass on the martial arts of the Demon Suppression Division?"
"That's the martial arts of the Lin family. I can make my own decision."
Lu Ren thought for a moment and said, "Yes, Li Yingzi is now your goddaughter, and she is also half a member of the Lin family. There is nothing wrong with accepting the inheritance of the Lin family."
"But..." He looked at Lin Jinyan thoughtfully: "Why do you want to give her such a thing?"
Lin Jinyan confessed: "The child has a good foundation. If she steps into the martial arts in the future, she may achieve something. As for how to choose, I will not force her. It all depends on her personal wishes."
Lu
Ren understood. She wanted to give Li Yingzi another choice.
"Compared to your gift, my bag of gold coins seems a bit too vulgar."
Lin Jinyan said: "You are a vulgar person, so I am not surprised."
"......... You don't have a good word in your mouth, right?"
Walking up the tower, the two saw from a distance that the large army of the Demon Suppression Division was rushing over. At a rough glance, there were about 180 people.
You should know that when carrying out tasks at ordinary times, there is only a small team of less than ten people at most.
It can be imagined how much importance the Demon Suppression Division attaches to such a large-scale operation.
It's a pity that they are destined to make a wasted trip.
The first to enter the city was a cold-faced middle-aged man with a majestic face and light armor.
He turned over and dismounted, looking up at the two people on the tower.
"Lin Jinyan? Why are you here? Lord Wu didn't summon you for this mission, how could you act on your own?"
Lu Ren felt unhappy when he heard the other party's tone of accountability.
He moved his feet, tilted his head towards Lin Jinyan, and asked in a low voice: "Who is this guy?"
Lin Jinyan introduced calmly: "Yuan Shi, the only six-star demon-suppressing captain in the Huashui County branch."
"What's his strength?"
"Like you and me, the meridians are fully opened."
When Lu Ren heard this, his worries were swept away.
Is this the level?
"Captain Yuan, what are you talking about? If Lord Lin hadn't rushed to reinforce us day and night, you would have seen a dead city now."
Yuan Shi glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Who are you? I'm talking to Lin Jinyan, do you have the right to interrupt?"
"Are you pretending to be a lieutenant? Do you really think you are so great just because you are a captain?"
Yuan Shi laughed angrily and looked at Lin Jinyan with dissatisfaction: "Is this how you manage your subordinates?"
Lin Jinyan said unmoved: "He is not my subordinate."
After being humiliated, Yuan Shi's face looked a little ugly, but he didn't dare to cause trouble for Lin Jinyan, so he had to point the spearhead at Lu Ren.
"Boy, hand over your identity token."
Lu Ren narrowed his eyes, took the token from his waist, tossed it in his hand a few times, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then threw the token out at an incredibly fast speed.
From Yuan Shi's perspective, he could not see the token at all, and could only hear a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
"Crack!!!"
The token was deeply embedded in the mud, only a finger's length away from the tip of Yuan Shi's shoe.
Yuan Shi lowered his eyes and looked at the token, and the anger in his eyes gradually became unstoppable.
He led his troops to rush to help, but this kid who came out of nowhere actually gave him a warning?
What a courage!
"What's your name?"
"Lu Ren."
"Humph, a nobody dares to talk to me like this. I think the rules of the Demon Suppression Department have been a little lax recently."
"Captain Yuan, you brought so many colleagues here, aren't you just here to teach me a lesson?"
At this time, a demon-suppression guard stepped forward and whispered a few words in Yuan Shi's ear.
Yuan Shi's expression gradually became complicated.
He looked deeply at Lu Ren, then at Lin Jinyan, and finally withdrew his gaze with some anger, raised his hand and ordered:
"All the members of the Demon Suppression Division, follow me into the city, the first task is to rescue the people, and kill the demons regardless of the reason!"
"Yes!!!"
Accompanied by a war cry, the large army of the Demon Suppression Division entered the city in a mighty manner.
Lu Ren looked down at Yuan Shi's back as he walked away, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
"Just left like that?"
I thought the other party would take action to save some face.
Lin Jinyan looked at him unhappily: "Do you really want to fight?"
"I don't like his attitude, and it's okay to fight to teach him a lesson."
"Yuan Shi is the direct descendant of Lord Wu. If you beat him, you may not live a happy life in Huashui County in the future."
Lu Ren frowned and asked curiously: "Who is this Lord Wu?"
