Whether one is the son of a holy lineage or a daoist disciple of a sect, they must
establish their own power.
However, establishing a power can take many years of accumulation. If you want to achieve it quickly, marriage alliances are the best choice.
For instance, disciples of a sect who venture out during their travels may get to know a woman from a prominent family, make her their wife, and then this family would provide them with strong allies as a dowry.
This is a path often taken by many families, but it’s absolutely not something the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou could accept.
Old Xu Yin shook his head repeatedly and whispered to Tang Luo, “If I establish power this way, I can forget about vying for the Saint Lord position!”
“Ha, the holy households sure are troublesome.” Tang Luo gave a faint sarcastic remark, then turned to the four stewards holding the gift registers below the stairs, “Gentlemen, before delivering the registers, could you please let the ladies have a chat with Young Master Xu?”
Upon hearing Tang Luo’s words, the previously respectful stewards lifted their heads, their faces filled with fury!
The four young ladies were sitting in the bridal sedan, their veils could only be lifted by their bridegrooms. Yet Tang Luo asked them to step out and negotiate in front of everyone. If this wasn’t humiliation, what would it be?
If it wasn’t for Tang Luo’s status as the Pride of Xiling, the strong men would have killed him long ago.
Tang Luo looked at their expressions, his face growing colder as he said in a low voice, “Don’t refuse this gift. Have you people no idea what you’ve done?! There is still a chance of mitigation if we talk now, but if you want to use the power of Xiling’s people to pressure my cousin into complying, you’re courting death! I’ll give you time to consider. Either let the young ladies come out to talk, or take your dowry and leave!”
His words were soft but loud enough for the four warriors of the Fierce Realm to hear. They were the ones who knew the ins and outs of this matter the best. Stung by Tang Luo’s blunt accusation, their faces fell. However, seeing the calm demeanor of Old Xu Yin, they realized that they wouldn’t gain any favor from the Pride of Xiling today unless they let the young ladies come out. But they had gotten this far in their plan, how could they easily give up? The four men retreated to the bridal carriage, whispering at the window.
Seeing their movement, Tang Luo snorted coldly, saying to Old Xu Yin, “Would you believe that this farce wasn’t arranged by these young ladies on a whim, but was deliberately crafted by their clans?”
“No way!” Old Xu Yin opened his mouth wide in disbelief, “Why do you say that?”
“The scale of this grand wedding procession, the thickness of the gift registers, even my Tang Clan could not have prepared all this in just one day. Yesterday the incident occurred, today they’re at our doorsteps. If this isn’t premeditated, what is? A fortuitous coincidence?!” Tang Luo stared at the bright red lacquer on the makeup case, speaking coldly.
■■Alas ” Old Xu Yin was somewhat helpless, sighing, “It seems they don’t quite
understand.”
“Perhaps in their eyes, this is a way to change the fate of their entire clan. Even if the hope is faint, they are willing to take the gamble, after all, the worst outcome is just risking a young lady’s life.” Tang Luo chuckled coldly.
Placing the entire clan’s hope on a woman. These four prestigious families really have ambition. Tang Luo despised them in his heart. There were many ancient families like this, feeling that they had reached a bottleneck in their own development and thus started seeking opportunities to climb up.
Even if they did manage to reach a higher branch, to acquire a higher status, they still had to fight with their lives as warriors. And once the fighters of a clan died out or the clan’s power declined, the high-ranking family’s concern for these affiliated clans would drop significantly. Hoping to change a clan’s fate with just a woman, to Tang Luo, this strategy was sheer stupidity.
During their conversation, the eight warriors carrying the bridal sedan placed the front part on the ground. The Fierce Realm steward lifted the curtain of the sedan. The four ladies, all dressed in bridal attire, gracefully stepped out of the sedan, lifting their veils.
In a moment of astonishment, their faces as beautiful as fairies appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Only then did Tang Luo understand where these young ladies got their confidence to win over the holy lineage’s son. Looking at their faces and figures, these four were the most beautiful women he had ever seen.
First Daughter of Master Pan, Pan Xichang, Daughter of Other family’s Patriarch, Bie Meng, Little Princess of Wan family, Wan Ling’er, and the Jewel of Bai Family, Bai Jing.
“What a pity.” Tang Luo touched his chin, feeling somewhat amused.
The four beauties stepped down to the foot of the stairs. Gracefully, they paid their respects to Old Xu Yin, saying in their soft voices, “Greetings, Lord Xu.” The clear and melodious voices of the ladies resonated together, making all the men go weak in the knees. Watching these beautiful ladies give respect to one man, every male present was overwhelmed with jealousy towards Old Xu Yin. Seeing the handsome Saint Lord made them feel like this should be the case, but they couldn’t help but applaud while wishing they were in his place.
Being sought after by four fairies bringing along a grand wedding procession, along with the cheers of the crowd and envious looks, was undoubtedly the moment that could fully satisfy a man’s vanity. Old Xu Yin was just an ordinary man, how could he not be moved? It was just that he really couldn’t bring these four young ladies into his house.
Old Xu Yin helplessly saluted, saying: “I am flattered by your affections, ladies, but I have an unspeakable secret. I hope you all understand.
The faces of the four young ladies turned deathly pale, on the verge of tears.
The crowd erupted into chatter at Old Xu Yin’s words, whispering to each other. Pan Xichang, in the prime of her youth and the oldest amongst them, wouldn’t forget her purpose just because of Old Xu Yin’s tactful words. She stepped forward and paid respect to Xu Yin again, her voice sweet, “Lord Xu, don’t be like this. From the day this servant saw you, I have decided to marry no other but you. I understand I am of lower birth and not deserving of you, but my heart is firmly tethered to you, even if you don’t feel the same way. I am willing to follow you always, hoping you will accept me.”
The other three young ladies echoed Pan Xichang’s words upon hearing her, their voices sweet as they said, “We only ask for your acceptance.
Old Xu Yin looked as if he had seen a ghost, turning his head and whispering to Tang Luo, “She’s telling the truth! They’re all telling the truth!!”
He could feel Pan Xichang’s firm determination and adoration when she said those words as if she had no desires and being able to follow him was already enough. This kind of offbeat affection was something he had never experienced before. For a moment, he was immensely shaken, not knowing how to refuse.
“Ha.” Tang Luo glanced at Old Xu Yin, murmuring, “I told you not to judge truth with emotions. Just by virtue of you being a Saint lineage’s son, you’re aphrodisiac for women. Add to that your handsome looks and superb skills. Not to mention your proficiency in the art of the bedroom can bring them to the pinnacle of pleasure on their first time. If I were a woman, I’d love you too!” “As for determination, of course they have to be determined.. Because if they aren’t, they have to choose death!”
