In everyone’s eyes, the gems on the Immortal Selection Token lit up one by one. Four… five… six… Lü Yi urged his horse forward to check. If this woman’s talent could reach nine points, he would have found a great bargain.
If it were an ordinary person, seeing the gems light up one by one, they would surely be secretly delighted. However, Cheng Hong Ling was the opposite because her father was watching. Therefore, she would rather be ordinary herself.
Cheng Hong Ling’s prayer worked. The gems on the Immortal Selection Token lit up to the eighth one before stopping. This meant her bloodline score was eight points.
Seeing this, Cheng Hong Ling finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Only with a lower bloodline score could she have a chance, like Qi Huang, to prove her father’s philosophy.
Qi Huang was slightly disappointed, but then he immediately realized that wasn’t he always against the bloodline theory? Why was he disappointed? He should be happy! As long as he learned the “Body-Substitution Technique,” with his main body receiving his own blessings, his cultivation speed would definitely crush those little monsters.
Cheng Yuan felt a bit disappointed. Compared to his own philosophy, his daughter’s future was clearly more important to him, regardless of her bloodline.
“As expected, only eight points. I was too naive. How could a remote land like the Xihui Dynasty, which has never produced an immortal, have cultivators with a bloodline score of nine points or higher?”
Lü Yi shook his head in disappointment.
“Young Master, what do we do now?”
Uncle Ma, who had his wounds bandaged, hobbled over and asked.
Qi Huang took the opportunity to interject:
“What else can we do? Cancel the engagement! Go back and remove our names from the Immortal Tablet. Don’t let people like us with low bloodlines contaminate the Lü family’s high bloodline.”
Lü Yi frowned. After a moment of thought, he said, “Don’t be anxious. Let me get the opinion of my elders first.”
With that, Lü Yi urged his horse to a secluded spot and then used the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device to contact his grandfather.
“It seems no miracle happened!”
Lü Dao sighed.
“Yes, we actually all know that if her bloodline could reach nine points or higher, she would have been a cultivator at the Guiyi Realm or even the Huashen Realm at birth and wouldn’t need to gather spiritual energy.”
Lü Yi said belatedly.
“Then what’s your decision now? Are you marrying this daughter-in-law or not?”
Lü Dao probed.
Lü Yi’s face showed hesitation. He looked back at Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang. His sharp gaze was gradually eroded by greed, and finally, corrupted by lust, he said, “Marry! Although her bloodline is only eight points, she has a clone with a Spiritual Sense that has reached the mid-stage of the Shentong Realm. She can barely match me.”
“You need to think clearly. Once you marry this Cheng Hong Ling, it will be infinitely more difficult to pursue those three young girls with immortal bloodlines. After all, they have spread rumors that they will only be with men who have no wives or concubines.”
Lü Dao reminded his grandson.
“Hmph, true men only make women cater to them. Only cowards cater to women. I believe as long as I am outstanding enough, I can make them throw themselves at me.”
Lü Yi said with extreme confidence.
“Very good, this is my grandson Lü Dao! Marry her if you want. The original plan remains unchanged. Although her bloodline is only eight points, she knows a secret method to strengthen Spiritual Sense. This can be considered compensation for our Jun family.”
Lü Dao praised him.
“But how do we explain this to Second Granduncle? Cheng Hong Ling’s bloodline is only eight points. Their family will definitely use this to make trouble.”
Lü Yi hesitated.
“Don’t worry. As I said, next year’s sixth day of the sixth month is your grand wedding day. No one can change it.”
Lü Dao said forcefully.
“Thank you, Grandfather, for fulfilling my wish!”
Lü Yi thanked him respectfully and then urged his horse back.
“Our wedding date remains unchanged. Prepare the dowry. You must marry into the Lü family by the sixth day of the sixth month next year, or face the consequences.”
Lü Yi announced his decision.
“Still not giving up?”
Qi Huang shook his head helplessly and said, “Got it, you can leave now!”
“What? Did I travel thousands of miles to the HongHua Sect, and you won’t even offer me a cup of tea? Is this your hospitality?”
Uncle Ma, his wounds healed, arrogantly shouted.
“You are not guests of the HongHua Sect.”
Cheng Hong Ling’s reply was cold.
“Forget it. Since they don’t welcome us, let’s go! In a year’s time, I will make her willingly offer us tea.”
Lü Yi didn’t force the issue and called his followers, preparing to leave.
“Are we just letting them go?”
“Valley Master, they killed so many of our Shuiyu Valley’s senior sisters and relatives. Aren’t we going to avenge this great hatred?”
“If we just watch them leave, how will we answer to those who died unjustly after our deaths? How can we stand in this Cultivation World in the future?”
The female disciples of Shuiyu Valley were unwilling to let it go and surrounded them again.
Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling exchanged a glance. Neither of them expected these female disciples to completely disregard the principle of “as long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn” and insist on seeking death.
“Hmph, the reason I didn’t dwell on your previous rudeness was because of my fiancée. If you are ungrateful, I don’t mind causing your Shuiyu Valley to completely sever its lineage.”
Lü Yi reined in his horse, his face contorted with ferocity.
“All of you, come back!”
Wen Yunmei quickly scolded those disciples. After the previous lesson, she had no face to cause further trouble for the HongHua Sect.
The female disciples were stunned by the shout. Although they were filled with unwillingness, they finally walked back with lingering regret.
“However, while the death penalty is waived, the crime of being alive cannot be avoided. I hope that all of you will get out of the HongHua Sect before the sixth day of the sixth month next year. I don’t want the cultivators of Zhongzhou to know that my fiancée is still entangled with her ex-husband.”
Lü Yi ordered.
“What if we insist on taking them in?”
Qi Huang narrowed his beautiful eyes and asked.
“Insist on taking them in?”
Lü Yi’s expression became even more gloomy. He rolled his eyes for a few turns and suddenly said, “If you insist on taking them in, it’s not impossible.”
After saying that, Lü Yi turned to Mu Ruoyi and asked, “What’s your name?”
Mu Ruoyi turned her face away in disgust.
“Even if you don’t say it, I know. With such beauty, and calling the Valley Master ‘mother’, you must be the Saintess of Shuiyu Valley, Mu Ruoyi. My fiancée’s ex-husband? Or ex-wife? It’s all the same anyway.”
Lü Yi analyzed to himself.
“What do you want?”
Mu Ruoyi asked, gritting her teeth.
“My mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration just now, and I thought of a way to wash away the stain of marrying a divorced woman and allow you to stay in the HongHua Sect with peace of mind. That is to take you as a concubine!”
Lü Yi said, shocking everyone.
“What?”
Everyone around was stunned. No one had expected Lü Yi to be so greedy, wanting his fiancée and also his fiancée’s “ex-husband.” He wanted it all.
“Dream on! I would rather die than submit!”
Mu Ruoyi shouted hysterically.
“You refuse! It doesn’t matter! I will engrave your name on the Immortal Tablet when I return. On the sixth day of the sixth month next year, you will enter the Lü Family along with Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang. They are wives, and you are a concubine. I want it all! At that time, your Shuiyu Valley disciples can stay in the HongHua Sect for as long as they want!”
Lü Yi fantasized to himself and then proudly pushed his horse away.
“Young Master, you are fucking amazing…”
“Hmm?”
“You are truly a genius! Now who would dare mock you for marrying a divorced woman? They will only admire your ability!”
Uncle Ma flattered him from the side.
The people from the HongHua Sect and Shuiyu Valley could only watch helplessly as the Lü family group left. This was the consequence of insufficient strength; they could only be slaughtered.
Mu Ruoyi burst into tears. Lü Yi’s actions were simply a great humiliation to her, but she could not see any hope of revenge. Her heart was filled with boundless despair.
“Sister Ruoyi, don’t worry! If he wants to write it, let him write it. When the time comes, I will not only personally erase our names, but I will also uproot the Lü family’s Immortal Tablet and make them pay with blood.”
Qi Huang stepped forward to comfort her.
Mu Ruoyi’s tear-filled eyes finally showed a glimmer of hope. She knew that if there was anyone in this world who could oppose an immortal family, it could only be the sister Qi Huang in front of her.
