Chapter 474: Situ Zengyan, Pan Yuezhi, And Situ Qingze II

Pan Yuezhi thought for a moment. "In this kingdom, Luo Yixuan from the Luo Clan is the best choice to be your daughter’s husband, Husband. He is handsome, and his cultivation is on par with hers. Moreover, he is one of the special disciples of the Myriad Sword Sect, and he is the leading candidate to become the next sect master after his master retires."

"Hmm?" Situ Zhengyan naturally knew him, and Luo Yixuan was much better than the late Sun Weitian. Unfortunately, his daughter never liked him, and she was infatuated with the latter. "He is indeed the most suitable man to be Lingxi’s husband, but you should know that he never thinks about romance, and he prefers to study the way of the sword."

"You’re right." Pan Yuezhi let out a soft sigh. "Luo Yixuan is too obsessed with the way of the sword, and nothing is more important to him than swordsmanship. His parents have long desired a grandchild, but they are frustrated because he is unwilling to think about romantic matters."

"Don’t they still have a second son?"

"Unfortunately, Luo Yiming’s talent isn’t as good as his big brother’s, and he’s too lazy to cultivate, so his cultivation lags far behind Luo Yixuan’s." Situ Zhengyan agreed with Pan Yuezhi. "Fortunately, the Luo Clan still has Luo Feixia, and her talent is on par with her eldest brother. However, she is destined to marry a man from another clan in the future, and her children cannot inherit their clan."

For all the clans in the Taixu Kingdom, sons were everything, as they were destined to carry on their clans’ legacies.

This was also the reason Situ Zhengyan decided to marry Pan Yuezhi after Murong Xianyin was declared unable to conceive a second child, and his second wife gave him a son by giving birth to Situ Qingze.

Situ Zhengyan was unsatisfied with one son; he took Hong Ruoyan as his third wife, hoping she would give birth to a second son for him. Unfortunately, his third wife gave birth to a second daughter, whom they named Situ Shuying.

Situ Zhengyan sighed. "Who else?"

"Xuanyuan Wenxuan and Jiang Haoming." Situ Zhengyan raised an eyebrow as soon as Pan Yuezhi mentioned those two names. "Even though Xuanyuan Wenxuan comes from a branch clan of the Xuanyuan Clan, his talent in cultivation surpasses Luo Yixuan, and he is one of the talented alchemists in the Lingdan Pavilion."

Situ Zhengyan had heard of Xuanyuan Wenxuan, but he didn’t have much information about him. He only knew that he was a talented alchemist.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Wenxuan was different from the other members of the Xuanyuan Clan, who focused on the way of the sword. He preferred the way of alchemy, and he often represented his master in alchemy competitions.

"Jiang Haoming is Empress Jiang Fenghua’s nephew, right?"

"That’s right," Pan Yuezhi nodded. "Jiang Haoming is more handsome and holds a higher status than Xuanyuan Wenxuan and Luo Yixuan, so I think he is a suitable husband for Situ Lingxi. If she marries him, our Situ Clan will reap great benefits from their marriage, and our status will rise above that of the Taixu Clan."

Situ Zhengyan was tempted by the idea of ​​marrying Situ Lingxi to Jiang Haoming, and his parents would appreciate him even more if he could lead their Situ Clan to surpass the Taixu Clan. Although his eldest sister had long been the queen of the Taixu Kingdom, their clan had always been in the shadow of the Taixu Clan, and he didn’t want to remain in that position forever.

Pan Yuezhi continued. "Unfortunately, Jiang Haoming already has a fiancée, and Xiao Qingning is the young miss of the Xiao Clan. They are childhood friends, and their relationship is very deep. However, she doesn’t have a problem if he has a second woman, so I think we should persuade your daughter to be his second woman."

"That’s not going to happen." Situ Zhengyan was familiar with Murong Xianyin’s character, and she would openly reject the idea of ​​their daughter becoming a second wife. Besides his wife, his eldest sister and parents would never agree, mainly because their Situ Clan was a royal clan.

Pan Yuezhi was aware of the issue, but she hoped to marry Situ Lingxi off to Jiang Haoming to elevate their status. However, she didn’t dare to discuss it with Murong Xianyin or her parents-in-law; otherwise, they would dislike her even more. "In that case, our best choice is Xuanyuan Wenxuan. He lives at the Lingdan Pavilion, so you should go there and try talking to him."

"Forget it." Situ Zhengyan got up and took off his clothes. "I want to marry my daughter, but we can’t rush it. If we do it in a hurry, Xianyin and my parents will definitely oppose it, so we have to plan the best for that."

Pan Yuezhi said nothing else, got up, and helped Situ Zhengyan clean himself.

Meanwhile, Situ Qingze was talking to a young man in his room. "Have you gotten the pill, Su Cheng?"

"Here." Su Cheng handed him a bottle. "You must be careful when using this, Qingze. If my master finds out that I gave you this pill, he will surely punish me severely, and he might even expel me from the Lingdan Pavilion."

Situ Qingze nodded and poured the pill from the bottle into his palm. "What about the effect? ​​Can other people detect this pill?"

"If that person is an alchemist, he or she can detect the effect of the pill." Su Cheng paused. "This Peach Blossom Pill is only Rank 3, and there are similar pills of higher ranks. However, I think it’s sufficient for your plan, and it will last for three hours. Who is your real target? Aren’t you afraid that your grandparents will find out about your actions?"

Situ Qingze smirked. "I won’t tell you the identity of my target for now, and you will find out someday. Even if my grandparents find out, it will be too late for them to stop me. They might be furious, but they won’t do anything to me because I’m their only grandson."

"You’re crazy! You’re the young master of the Situ Clan, and you can have any woman you want, yet you choose to use this kind of method." Su Cheng then asked him, "Are you going to attend my sister’s wedding to Chen Hongde?"

Situ Qingze raised an eyebrow. "If I’m not mistaken, they’re getting married next week, right?"

"That’s right," Su Cheng nodded. "At first, our parents wanted to postpone the wedding because my eldest sister and Chen Hongde were trapped in that forest, but it turned out they managed to get out sooner than expected, so they decided to hold their wedding as scheduled."

"I see." Situ Qingze nodded in understanding. "Do you think Luo Feixia and Shao Yuyan will attend their wedding?"

Su Cheng took a deep breath. "Hey! You should forget about Shao Yuyan! She’s Ming Ren’s fiancée, and their two clans have a very close relationship. Moreover, your aunt has a good relationship with her grandfather, and he won’t forgive you if you have any bad thoughts about her."

Situ Qingze shivered as soon as Su Cheng mentioned his aunt; beads of sweat quickly wet his forehead. Among all the members of the Situ Clan, he feared Situ Lingshan the most.

"Hahaha," Su Cheng laughed, patting his shoulder. "By the way, Luo Feixia will definitely be attending my eldest sister’s wedding, so you’ll meet her that day. Although she’s not particularly beautiful, she has great talent in cultivation. However, she’s quite aloof, and she probably won’t pay any attention to you."

Situ Qingze’s face darkened, but he couldn’t refute Su Cheng. He was quite familiar with Luo Feixia; he had tried to approach her several times, but she always ignored him.

"I have to go back to my sect, and I won’t be going anywhere in the next few days, so we will meet again at my eldest sister’s wedding."

After Su Cheng left, Situ Qingze looked at the Peach Blossom Pill in his hand, and he thought about the best way to use it on his target without his grandparents finding out. He sighed, put the pill into the bottle, and put it away. "I will get you one day, and you will be mine forever."

By late afternoon, Situ Lingxi and the others finally arrived in the Taixu Kingdom, but they didn’t head to the Situ Clan’s main residence.

Since Situ Chengyan had already contacted her, Situ Lingxi asked Taixu Yue to take them to the Situ Clan’s second residence.

When they arrived, Situ Chengyan, Dugu Xinyue, and Murong Xianyin were already waiting for them there. They missed Situ Lingxi, but they were also curious about Tang Xiao’s wives.

"Mother, I miss you so much!" Situ Lingxi ran to hug Murong Xianyin and turned to her grandparents. "Grandfather! Grandmother! I miss you too!"

Murong Xianyin smiled, hugged her daughter back, and looked at Tang Yin and the others. Tang Xiao had shown them pictures of all his wives some time ago so she could recognize them, but she was surprised to find Xuanyuan Yueyao among them.

Situ Chengyan and Dugu Xinyue were surprised by Xuanyuan Yueyao’s presence; they immediately greeted her. "Young Miss Xuanyuan."

"You don’t need to be so formal with me, Senior Situ and Senior Dugu." Xuanyuan Yueyao gestured toward Tang Yin and the others. "I was a bit bored at the sect, so I decided to join them and come here."

"It is a pleasure to meet you, three seniors." Tang Yin, Xing Xing, Mu Qingge, Sun Xiang, and Mu Yan greeted the three of them respectfully and in unison.

Even though Situ Chengyan and Dugu Xinyue had seen their pictures before, they were still impressed by their beauty and harmony. "Welcome to our Situ Clan."
