Chapter 483: Xuanyuan Yueyao - Xuanyuan Wenxuan

Situ Zengyan’s expression was grim. He didn’t expect his parents to pressure him to such an extent. He knew they preferred Murong Xianyin over Pan Yuezhi, but his second wife was also their daughter-in-law, so their actions were overbearing.

Since Situ Lingxi was his daughter, Situ Zengyan felt he had the right to determine her future more than his parents, but they strictly forbade him from arranging a marriage for her.

Pan Yuezhi was at a loss for words; her face was ashen, and her eyes were filled with tears. She had long been aware that Situ Chengyan and Dugu Xinyue were unwilling to accept her as their daughter-in-law, even though she had given them a grandson. However, they had never treated her harshly before, let alone threatened to expel her from the Situ Clan and strip Situ Qingze of his status as main heir.

Today’s events made Pan Yuezhi realize that Murong Xianyin was irreplaceable to them. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t replace her as the main wife.

Additionally, their words indicated that Situ Lingxi’s status was higher than Situ Qingze’s, and they would not hesitate to get rid of him if Pan Yuezhi continued to cause trouble for their granddaughter.

Deep down, Pan Yuezhi felt a piercing chill and overwhelming fear. She was terrified that they would expel her from the clan and strip her son of his status as the main heir.

’What actually happened? Why did their attitude towards me suddenly change like that?’ Pan Yuezhi turned to her husband. "Husband, I—"

"Calm yourself first." Situ Zengyan could not fathom the sudden change in his parents’ attitude. "For now, we must give in to them and stop forcing Lingxi to get close to other men, or they will carry out their words. When the situation calms down, I will talk to her again, and I will marry her off as soon as possible."

Even though her husband said that, Pan Yuezhi was not stupid. She knew their chances of marrying Situ Lingxi off to another man were slim, or even non-existent, unless they used other means to force her. However, her parents-in-law already knew their plan, and they would never stop keeping an eye on them.

Even if they used other means to force Situ Lingxi into marriage, Pan Yuezhi was certain Situ Chengyan and Dugu Xinyue would never spare her and her son.

"Patriarch."

"Leave." Situ Haorui nodded to Situ Zengyan and left. "I want you to go to the Luo Clan to talk to Luo Yixuan’s parents, and I will go to the Lingdan Pavilion to see Xuanyuan Wenxuan."

"Okay." After that, Situ Zengyan and Pan Yuezhi hurriedly left the Situ Clan to go to two different places.

In an alchemy room in the Lingdan Pavilion, Xuanyuan Yueyao sat beside Xuanyuan Wenxuan, who was pouring tea for her. "I was surprised by your visit to this kingdom."

Xuanyuan Wenxuan possesses a mature, handsome face, with narrow-shaped black eyes, which gives him an air of restraint and dignity. His long black hair is smooth and thick, falling behind his back.

His figure is tall, with broad shoulders and a firm chest concealed beneath his robes. His body is lean and hardened rather than excessively muscular. His bearing is exceptionally calm and upright.

"Do you need something from me?"

Xuanyuan Yueyao raised the teacup, sipped the tea, and spoke. "I want to introduce you to someone, and he wants to cooperate with you in alchemy."

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Wenxuan was a little surprised. "May I know his identity?"

"His name is Tang Xiao." Xuanyuan Yueyao put the teacup on the table. "There is no Tang Clan in this realm, and he comes from the Qingquan Realm."

"I see." Xuanyuan Wenxuan nodded in understanding. "Is he an alchemist?"

"He’s not an alchemist, but he knows a lot about alchemy." Xuanyuan Yueyao paused and looked at his face. "My uncle thinks highly of him."

The teacup stopped in front of Xuanyuan Wenxuan’s mouth; he looked at her in surprise. Although he was not a member of the Xuanyuan main clan, he was familiar with Xuanyuan Lingtian’s character. "Since the emperor thinks highly of him, I have to meet him in person. However, I can’t go anywhere for the next few days, so I can only meet him after my task is finished."

"No problem." Xuanyuan Yueyao naturally knew that alchemists were busy. "I can tell you that he is my future husband."

Xuanyuan Wenxuan’s eyes were wide open, staring at Xuanyuan Yueyao in disbelief. He heard she was going to marry Song Tianzun, but their wedding plans fell through, and he knew the reason behind it. "Is he—"

"No." Xuanyuan Yueyao waved her hand. "My relationship with Tang Xiao has nothing to do with my uncle; I chose him myself. Even though I’ve chosen him, I won’t be marrying him anytime soon, and I want to wait for our relationship to deepen first."

Xuanyuan Wenxuan put down his teacup. "Can you show me a picture of him?"

"Sure." Xuanyuan Yueyao took out her device and displayed a picture of Tang Xiao. "He’s only twenty-four years old, but his cultivation already reached the Middle King Realm not long ago."

"When I was his age, my cultivation hadn’t even reached the King Realm, and I reached that stage ten years later. Compared to him, I’m nothing." After seeing Tang Xiao’s image, Xuanyuan Wenxuan looked at her and asked. "Does he have high cultivation aptitude?"

"You can say it like that."

Although Xuanyuan Yueyao gave a vague answer, Xuanyuan Wenxuan believed Tang Xiao had a black aptitude at the very least; otherwise, she wouldn’t choose him as her future husband.

"How is your relationship with Zhu Xuan’er? When will you two get married?"

"Our relationship is getting better, and we will probably get married next year."

"I see."

"Speaking of Zhu Xuan’er, she will arrive in this kingdom tonight."

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Yueyao was a little surprised. "What’s her plan for coming here?"

"Her aunt is Su Yansheng’s wife, and his niece will get married in a few days."

"Su Xiulan, right?"

"Yes." Xuanyuan Wenxuan nodded. "Besides attending Su Xiulan’s wedding, she wants to accompany me to the Misty Ridge."

"Hehe," Xuanyuan Yueyao chuckled. "I haven’t seen Zhu Xuan’er in a long time, so I’ll take this opportunity to see her. Besides, Tang Xiao and I will also be attending Su Xiulan’s wedding, so we’ll meet at the Su Clan on that day."

"I think it’s a nice coincidence."

*Crack*

Xuanyuan Wenxuan and Xuanyuan Yueyao looked at the young man who had just entered the alchemy room. "Senior Brother, Patriarch Situ is visiting our pavilion, and he wants to see you."

"Why does Patriarch Situ want to see me and not my master?"

"He didn’t say the reason, Senior Brother."

Xuanyuan Wenxuan raised his eyebrows, but then Xuanyuan Yueyao spoke to him. "Situ Zengyan wants to bring his daughter closer to you."

"Hmm?" Xuanyuan Wenxuan was taken aback. "How did you know?"

"Leave." As soon as Xuanyuan Yueyao spoke, the male disciple left the room and closed the door. "Situ Lingxi is my future husband’s lover."

"What?" Xuanyuan Wenxuan lost his cool as soon as he heard that; his expression was simply ridiculous. "Are you kidding me? Why did you choose him as your future husband?"

Xuanyuan Yueyao smiled. "Because he is too special, and no other man is worthy of being my future husband other than him."

"Do the emperor and your parents agree?"

"They agreed with my choice."

Xuanyuan Wenxuan nodded slightly. "Since they agreed, I have no right to question your decision. However, I am curious about him, and I hope our meeting will answer all the questions in my mind."

"You will definitely get answers to all your questions." Xuanyuan Yueyao stood up. "Are you going to see Situ Zengyan?"

"No." Xuanyuan Wenxuan shook his head. "My heart belongs to Zhu Xuan’er. Since Patriarch Situ wants to see me for that purpose, I won’t waste my time with him, and I will have someone escort him out."

"I have to leave now, and we will meet again at Su Xiulan’s wedding."

"Alright."

After Xuanyuan Yueyao left, Xuanyuan Wenxuan contacted someone to confirm something, and that person confirmed his question. "Tang Xiao, huh? Our meeting won’t be long."

In front of the Taixu Royal Palace, Murong Xianyin asked Tang Xiao, "Are you taking my daughter away?"

"No." Tang Xiao looked at Situ Lingxi. "You should go back with your mother, and I’ll go somewhere else to look for something."

Situ Lingxi didn’t argue with him. "I’ll wait for you tonight, so you must come to me."

"Okay." After kissing Situ Lingxi and saying goodbye to Murong Xianyin, Tang Xiao immediately disappeared from their sight.

Situ Lingxi hugged her mother’s arm. "Let’s go back, Mother. I want to discuss with my grandparents about my marriage to Tang Xiao."

"Why are you so impatient to marry him?" Murong Xianyin asked suspiciously.

Situ Lingxi stuck out her tongue and pulled her mother away. "Since Luo Yixuan isn’t interested in marriage, Xuanyuan Wenxuan is Zhu Xuan’er’s lover, and Jiang Haoming is Xiao Qingning’s fiancé, my foolish father and that bitch won’t be able to force me to marry either of them."

"If it weren’t for Pan Yuezhi, your father wouldn’t have forced you to marry either of them." Murong Xianyin sighed. "Are you truly ready to marry Tang Xiao? Won’t you regret your decision?"

"I will regret it if I fail to marry him, Mother."

"I see."

When they arrived at the Situ Clan, Hong Ruoyan was already waiting for them. "Sister Xianyin, I have something to discuss with you, and it’s quite serious."

Murong Xianyin and Situ Lingxi exchanged glances for a moment.

"Let’s talk in my room, Ruoyan."
