Michelle stared at Austin with a beaming smile plastered on her face.
"Thank you for what you have done for our clan, Austin," she said shyly.
"Don't say that. I'm actually glad that you're not blaming me for getting you into trouble," Austin responded with a blush.
Austin was terrible at handling such situations. He often blurted out random things during those moments.
As Marwell gazed at Austin's slightly red face, something funny suddenly crossed his mind.
'Perhaps I should give Michelle and Austin some space, ' he thought with a playful smile. He suddenly felt like being a matchmaker between the two.
"Michelle, you should keep Austin company. I suddenly remembered that I still have some errands to deal with," Marwell said to his daughter, smiling inwardly.
Then he took Joyce by the hand and pulled her towards the building where he often cultivated.
"But I don't want to go anywhere. I want to talk to Austin some more,"
Joyce protested, as she struggled to break free from her father's grip. She hadn't seen Austin for a long while and she had so many to share. The last time they met wasn't really a good timing for chit-chat, so she didn't want to miss this one.
"Be a good girl now. Leave your sister and Austin alone. You'll understand when you grow up," Marwell lectured.
He then dragged Joyce away.
"Marwell, you..."
"What are you doing, Dad?"
Austin and Michelle immediately knew what Marwell was up to and why he wanted to leave them alone.
Their faces turned red and they both immediately looked the opposite way.
Michelle's cheeks were flushed red, like red apples which were ripe for harvest. She bashfully stole Austin a glance before turning again in the opposite direction.
Austin was also speechless at Marwell's actions. He was also red from head to toe since he didn't see this coming at all.
'That old man, why did he suddenly try to fix me up with his daughter?' he wondered, sighing inside awkwardly.
After Marwell and Joyce got into the building, Austin and Michelle were left alone, and an awkward silence suddenly descended on them. Neither of them had any idea what they should say or do due to the unexpected turn of events.
Austin started a conversation with Michelle just to fill in the awkward silence. After a while, he found an excuse to leave and walked out.
Before taking his leave, he gave Michelle the Space Rings which initially belonged to Sterling and Lewis. He hoped that the cultivation resources contained within the rings would be able to help boost the cultivation of the Meng Clan members.
After Austin had taken his leave, Michelle gazed upon the spot where the man once stood, and she suddenly felt upset and melancholic.
It was true that Austin got Marwell's clan in serious trouble.
But despite of that, he had helped them solve different crises multiple of times already.
