After a prolonged silence, Sun Qian cast a pleading glance at Lin Feng.
"That's right, Sister Qian. You said that, so you can't go back on your word!"
"I just wonder if Uncle Sun will agree to this marriage?"
Lin Feng smiled and asked Sun Jihai, who had just recovered from his illness.
"Of course, I agree. It's an honor for our Sun family that Qianqian can marry someone like you, a dragon among men!"
"Back then, Qianqian insisted on marrying the eldest young master of the Ye family, Ye Chen. As a result, the Ye family found our Sun family too weak and not a good match."
"Qianqian was hurt by this and left the capital for over three years."
"As a father, how could I not feel heartache for my foolish daughter?"
"Now, if she can find her destined true love, her mother and I will have no objections."
Sun Jihai had a much broader perspective after his brush with death.
As long as they were alive and the family was happy, nothing else mattered more.
Not to mention Lin Feng's divine medical skills and that he was a favored son of heaven.
It was a tremendous stroke of luck for the Sun family that Sun Qian could marry Lin Feng, something he couldn't wish for more.
"Sister Qian, since Uncle Sun has no objections, then we can be together openly from now on."
Lin Feng gave Sun Qian a smile. He didn't want to take advantage of Sun Qian.
Although Sun Qian's outward appearance suggested a carefree and flirtatious woman, Lin Feng knew what she truly desired.
As Lin Feng had expected, Sun Qian's eyes were already brimming with tears of emotion.
Having been abandoned by Ye Chen and left home.
Sun Qian longed for a home of her own, a home with a man she truly loved. This was something she had dreamed of for a long time.
She had always thought that with so many women around Lin Feng, he wouldn't give her an official status, treating her merely as a mistress, hidden from sight.
She never expected Lin Feng to proactively propose marriage.
Sun Qian was so overwhelmed that she didn't know what to say. She couldn't contain her emotions and, in front of her family, threw herself into Lin Feng's arms, shedding tears of happiness.
At noon, Sun Jihai prepared a table full of delicacies. Sun Qian's mother also woke up from her coma.
Upon learning all that had happened, Sun Qian's mother felt as if she had dreamt it all – her husband had come back to life, her daughter had returned home, and she had brought back a boyfriend with extraordinary medical skills.
This sudden turn of events transformed the Sun family's atmosphere from sorrow to joy.
"Cousin Qianqian, I wish you and my brother-in-law a long and happy life together, and an early wedding."
Sun Qiang uncorked a good bottle of wine. As Sun Qian's cousin, who had grown up with her, Sun Qiang had always been close to her.
Sun Qiang's father had died in an accident years ago, and his mother had remarried.
Sun Qiang had essentially been raised by Sun Qian's parents, so he considered his uncle and aunt his closest relatives, and treated Sun Qian like his own sister.
"Cousin, what's the deal with that Chen Fan? Where did you find him?"
Sun Qian asked curiously.
"Don't mention it. To invite Master Chen to save my uncle, I knelt outside the Guigu Mountain sect for a whole night before I was fortunate enough to meet him."
"Master Chen originally disdained getting involved in worldly affairs. When I was desperate, I had no choice but to give him your photo and tell him that you had a falling out with the family and had run away from home, and that I didn't want you to miss seeing Uncle uncle one last time."
"Unexpectedly, Master Chen agreed to save Uncle uncle after seeing your photo. I was also baffled."
Sun Qiang explained.
This was enough to show how deep Sun Qiang's feelings were for Sun Jihai, and that he had given his all to save him.
"Ah? He agreed just by looking at my photo? Do I have that much charm?"
Sun Qian found it a bit preposterous.
"Sister Qian, this guy is a reincarnated lecher. He must have been attracted by your beauty."
"If it weren't for me, this guy might have actually succeeded."
Lin Feng chuckled, easily guessing Chen Fan's motive.
Experts like Chen Fan had long since viewed wealth as worthless. Other than a girl he was fond of, there were no other reasons that could move him.
"You're talking nonsense. Even without you, I wouldn't have been with him. He's too despicable, trying to take advantage of the situation."
Sun Qian disagreed with Lin Feng's assessment, she wouldn't have fallen for Chen Fan so easily.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Think about it carefully. If Uncle Sun was really at a critical juncture and only Chen Fan could save him, on the condition that you marry him, do you think you would have a choice?"
Lin Feng asked earnestly.
Sun Qian fell silent. Honestly, if it had come to that point, she wouldn't have ignored her father's life.
Let alone marrying Chen Fan, she wouldn't have hesitated to be his horse if he had asked.
"Aren't you just hypothesizing? It's just my good fortune to have a good younger brother like you."
Sun Qian gave a dry laugh, unwilling to be led astray by Lin Feng.
"Alright, stop talking and start eating."
Sun Jihai watched Lin Feng and Sun Qian chatting and laughing, feeling that life was happy and warm.
He could sense that Sun Qian genuinely liked Lin Feng and was happy with him.
As a father, Sun Jihai was genuinely happy for his daughter.
After the meal, Lin Feng remembered the main purpose of his visit, "Sister Qian, take me to find the jar."
"Right, how could I forget about this?"
"Dad, I'll take Lin Feng to our family's ancestral hall."
Sun Qian said.
"What are you going to the ancestral hall for? Isn't it too early for ancestor worship?"
Sun Jihai was puzzled. Sun Qian had always hated going to the ancestral hall since she was little.
Now that she was back, why was she asking to go there voluntarily?
"Dad, Lin Feng and I are going to find something, it's the jar that used to be placed in the mourning hall."
Sun Qian explained.
"The jar?"
Sun Jihai became more confused as he listened, but he personally led Lin Feng and Sun Qian to the Sun family's ancestral hall.
The Sun family's ancestral hall was located in a separate courtyard behind the Sun family's main residence.
Upon pushing open the doors of the ancestral hall, one could see the memorial tablets of the Sun family's ancestors.
There were dozens of memorial tablets, with oil lamps burning in front of them, giving the place a creepy atmosphere.
It was no wonder Sun Qian usually avoided such places.
"Dad, it's not right. Where has the jar gone? It was placed here before?"
As soon as Sun Qian entered the ancestral hall, she noticed that the spot where the jar had been was empty.
Sun Jihai then seemed to recall something, "Oh, you mean the jar containing your grandfather's ashes."
"That jar was buried a long time ago. After your grandmother died, your grandfather's ashes were buried together with your grandmother."
"The jar was buried along with them."
Sun Jihai explained.
"Buried? Then how did Lin Feng get the jar containing Grandpa's ashes?"
Sun Qian was confused.
Lin Feng seized the moment to reveal the Youming Demon Jar. Upon seeing the jar, Sun Jihai was also filled with surprise.
"That's not right. This jar is the one that contained your grandfather's ashes. How did it end up in your hands? Did you dig up your grandfather's grave?"
Sun Jihai was startled.
"Uncle Sun, you misunderstand. This jar was given to me by an elder brother. However, it's missing its lid."
"Sister Qian mentioned that she had seen this jar at home, so we came back to inquire."
Lin Feng quickly explained.
"That's still not right. The jar definitely belongs to my family. This jar was accidentally obtained by Qianqian's grandfather back then; it's one of a kind in the world. The old man cherished this jar before he died and spent great effort studying it."
"After his death, he requested that we bury the jar with him."
"Could it be that your elder brother dug up our family's grave?"
Sun Jihai suddenly had a bad premonition.
