Chapter 2096
2096 Forced to get married?
“Grandfather, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of sister Chuxi,” Zi Yin interrupted.
“Zi Yin, according to the usual practice, in half a month’s time, the representatives from the major families should be here. You have to work hard as well. When the time comes, you’ll be able to join the martial Palace and the hope of reviving the Zi family will fall on you.” Zi Tianw.a.n.g said to Zi Yin.
“Grandfather, I know my own situation. I’m afraid I’ll never be able to advance to the sage level in my life. You don’t have to comfort me.” Although Zi Yin’s smile did not change, her expression was somewhat desolate.
!!
This was not the first time Ling Chuxi had seen Zi Yin’s desolate expression. At first, she did not pay much attention to it, but now, she was a little puzzled. Her cultivation had clearly reached the half-Saint realm and was only one step away from advancing to the sage level. With Ling Chuxi’s experience, unless she had all five elements like her, it should not be too difficult for her to advance to the sage level. But why was she so desolate?
“Zi Yin, it’s good that you can think this way. The path of cultivation is all about talent and luck. You can’t force it.” Zi Tianw.a.n.g said, pleased.
“Yes, I understand.” Zi Yin nodded.
“By the way, I had something to discuss with you, but since you have a friend here, take care of miss Ling first. Come and find me when you’re free.” Zi Tianw.a.n.g said.
“It’s okay. I feel like I’ve hit it off with sister Chuxi. Grandfather, if you have anything to say, just say it.” Zi Yin wasn’t a shrewd person as she spoke.
“Forget it, let’s talk about it later.” Zi Tianw.a.n.g said after a moment of hesitation.
“Why don’t I walk around by myself first? you guys can chat.” Seeing Zi Tianw.a.n.g’s hesitant look, Ling Chuxi guessed that what he wanted to say was probably not simple. As an outsider, it was not appropriate for her to get involved, so she wanted to avoid suspicion.
“Aiya, it’s not a bad thing anyway. Everyone will know about it in a few days. Patriarch, just be direct.” At this moment, a woman walked into the courtyard.
This woman looked to be in her twenties but not yet thirty. She was quite beautiful, but the corners of her eyes were long and thin. There was a glimmer in her eyes, which made Ling Chuxi feel very uncomfortable.
“Second aunt,” Zi Yin’s expression turned cold and she returned to her frosty expression. It was obvious that she didn’t like this second aunt and only called her “second aunt” out of consideration for her.
“Yuehe, what are you doing here?” Zi Tianw.a.n.g asked, frowning.
“Lord patriarch, I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to say this, so I’ll speak on your behalf.” Qiu Yuehe smiled and said to Zi Yin,”Zi Yin, you also know that you don’t have much hope of advancing to the sage level. You’ll have to marry someone sooner or later. In the past, second aunt has arranged a few marriages for you, but it’s fine if you’re not willing. However, this time, someone came to propose marriage. The other party is a talented young man who is well-matched with our Zi family, so second aunt has agreed on your behalf.”
“What!” Zi Yin was startled. She looked at Qiu Yuehe and then at her grandfather.
Ling Chuxi was also a little surprised. It should be known that the higher a cultivator’s cultivation, the longer their lifespan would be. Therefore, most people would not be in a hurry to get married after they had succeeded in their cultivation. With Zi Yin’s age, she should not have arranged a marriage so early. And what was the reason for this situation?
“Zi Yin, your second aunt is right. The other party is indeed talented and has a bright future. This marriage will actually be of great benefit to you.” Zi Tianw.a.n.g could see Zi Yin’s shock and sighed.
