Chapter 4896: Looking at the Big Picture
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
No one had expected Elder Qingguang to make such a suggestion.
Even the furious Xuan Yuze was stunned for a moment and frowned.
“This… I’m afraid it’s not appropriate, right? When the White Fen Clan came to propose marriage, they specifically asked for Xuan Qingling, saying that Young Master An had admired her for a long time. Now that there was a sudden change, how was White Fen going to explain it? Besides, who is suitable to replace Xuan Qingling?”
When Elder Qingguang heard this, he suddenly changed the topic and his tone became serious.
“Patriarch, you’re still so indecisive at a time like this. Do you really think that the White Fen Clan is that magnanimous? Are you really not worried that the White Fen Clan will be furious and refuse to fulfill the engagement? Then your injury… No one can treat it!”
Hearing Elder Qingguang mention his injuries, Xuan Yuze immediately hesitated.
He had outstanding talent. When he was young, he was a famous prodigy in the G.o.d Realm and was considered the person most likely to break through to the Profound Life Realm in the Black Tortoise Clan.
Now, he was only two hundred years old. To a cultivator, he was still in his prime.
If his cultivation plummeted because of an accidental injury, he would inevitably be forced to give up the position of Patriarch…Just thinking about it made him unwilling!
“But…As for Young Master An…” He began to waver.
“Patriarch, why don’t you understand?” Elder Qingguang asked anxiously. The White Fen Clan valued Xuan Qingling because they thought that she was still a virgin. Now that the news of her having a lover had reached Young Master An’s ears, how could he be willing to suffer such a loss? We took the initiative to cancel the subst.i.tution to show our sincerity. As for the replacement…”
She paused and waved at the corner.” Ling’er, come here.”
A pet.i.te and gentle girl slowly walked over from an inconspicuous corner and bowed to Elder Qingguang.” Grandmother, Ling’er is here.”
Elder Qingguang nodded, then looked at Xuan Yuze.” My granddaughter, Jialing, is also a Heaven Grade genius. Her cultivation has improved rapidly these few years, and she has already entered the Profound Heart realm. More importantly, she has always been pure and prudent. She will never do anything out of line. I think the White Fen Clan will be very satisfied with such a daughter-in-law.”
Xuan Yuze finally understood what Elder Qingguang meant. He frowned slightly and looked at Xuan Jialing.
Speaking of which, he had an impression of this Xuan Jialing.
Although she was not as talented as Xuan Qingling, she was still a mid-tier Heaven-level existence. In addition, she had a large amount of resources sponsored by her grandmother, Elder Qingguang. Therefore, her cultivation speed was very outstanding among the younger generation of the family, second only to Xuan Qingling.
If she were to replace Xuan Qingling…
It was a feasible solution.
However…
” If the White Fen Clan is unhappy, it’s a good idea to change people,” Xuan Yuze said.” But there’s no need to give Qingling’s cultivation to the White Fen Clan, right?” It’s not easy for the clan to produce such a genius…”
“Patriarch, why are you so muddle-headed!” Elder Qingguang frowned.” Between you and Xuan Qingling, who is more important to the family? If you can recover from your injuries and successfully break through to the Profound Life Realm, it will be a great help to the clan! In comparison, what was a young genius who was only in the Profound Heart Realm? You must take the big picture into account!”
Hearing this, Xuan Yuze was indeed shaken again.
Xuan Jiuling finally couldn’t stand it anymore and said,”Wait! Patriarch, I have something to say.”
