【Inside Xuanji Hall.】

【Shi Tiange sat high in the main seat, the smile on her face growing ever more radiant.】

【Below her, Cui Yanshui sat upright at the side with a serious expression, appearing somewhat well-behaved.】

【“Xiaoshui, I called you here this time for nothing special—just to see how you’ve been lately. Do you need any help? Have you been busy?”】

【Under normal circumstances, if someone asks you three different questions in a row, it means none of those questions are important.】

【What matters is that they are laying the groundwork for what they truly want to say next!】

【Naturally, the perceptive Shi Tiange understood this principle.】

【So she immediately cupped her hands and said, “Aunt Shi, everything on my side is fine. How has your health been recently?”】

【“Good, quite good. It’s just that my hands feel empty, which makes me somewhat uncomfortable!”】

【Shi Tiange shook her arms.】

【This gesture left Cui Yanshui completely puzzled, unable to understand what she meant!】

【“Aunt Shi, I don’t quite understand. Are you lacking accessories for your hands? If so, I can arrange for some to be sent over tomorrow!”】

【After all, even a starving camel is bigger than a horse!】

【Although the Cui family was no longer what it once was, it still had some foundation left.】

【At the very least, when it came to accessories, they were never lacking!】

【Shi Tiange’s expression became somewhat unnatural.】

【“Uh... I’ve already made it this obvious, and you still don’t understand?”】

【“Since that’s the case, I can only be direct!”】

【Shi Tiange let out a dry laugh. “Ahem, hehe, there’s no need for accessories. The reason I called you here today is to discuss a wedding date!”】

【“I know the upheaval in the Cui family has been immense, and you’ve just become the clan head, so you must be entangled in many trivial matters.”】

【“But life must move forward.”】

【“You and Yu’er are no longer young. It’s time to talk about marriage.”】

【Hearing this, Cui Yanshui fell silent.】

【Marriage?】

【She truly had never thought about this question—at least not at this moment.】

【When she first agreed to this marriage, firstly, she wanted to vent for her younger self and properly take revenge on Ye Yu.】

【Secondly, in order to compete for the position of clan head, she needed the support of Xuanji Hall to ensure everything went smoothly.】

【But now, everything had changed!】

【There was no need to fight for the position of clan head anymore.】

【And the grown-up Ye Yu was not as detestable as he had been in childhood.】

【Moreover, he was a hidden Divine Sovereign Realm expert and had personally avenged the Cui family!】

【Everything he had done was unforgettable!】

【So what should be done about this marriage?】

【If she truly married Ye Yu, her parents would surely be very happy, right?】

【But... should she really marry him? Turn a fake engagement into reality?】

【Seeing Cui Yanshui remain silent, the smile on Shi Tiange’s face stiffened instantly.】

【No way... no way... is she going to back out at this moment?】

【That shouldn’t be the case! When Yu’er went to the Cui family last time, didn’t he say they were already living together?】

【How could things change now?】

【Just as Shi Tiange was pondering, the communication stone suddenly vibrated!】

【It was from her husband, Ye Zhendong!】

【Distracted, Shi Tiange didn’t think much and directly infused it with divine power.】

【In the next moment, Ye Zhendong’s voice rang out loudly.】

【“Wife, guess who I brought back? A very beautiful goddess! She keeps calling Yu’er her benefactor. Every time she mentions him, her pretty face turns red—clearly a young girl in love!”】

【“From what I can see, she’s absolutely no worse than that girl Xiaoshui. Come out and take a look—she’s right at the entrance of the Divine Alliance!”】

【Hearing this, Shi Tiange’s face lit up with joy!】

【Another daughter-in-law candidate?】

【Wait—this is bad, I didn’t mute it!】

【Shi Tiange’s expression froze instantly. When she turned her head and saw Cui Yanshui’s calm gaze—】

【She decisively crushed the communication stone in her hand!】

【“Ah, hehe, what a joker! That old man must have drunk too much and is talking nonsense. Don’t take it to heart!”】

【Cui Yanshui slowly stood up and said softly, “Aunt Shi, how about we go outside and take a look together?”】

【“Look at what? No need to look, there’s nothing to—”】

【Before Shi Tiange could finish speaking, Cui Yanshui had already walked out of the hall.】

【Seeing this, she could only hurriedly follow.】

【She instinctively wanted to contact Ye Zhendong again with a communication stone, telling him to quickly move that goddess away first!】

【After all, she was a potential daughter-in-law—don’t let them start fighting at the gate!】

【However, after searching through her storage ring, Shi Tiange could not find any communication stone at all.】

【Only then did she suddenly remember—】

【She had just crushed it!】

【What a disaster!】

【At the gates of Xuanji Hall, Ye Zhendong stood waiting with Qi Yuan.】

【On the way here, out of boredom, he had asked Qi Yuan who exactly her benefactor was. After all, as a member of Xuanji Hall, he would surely know them!】

【However, when Ye Zhendong learned that the person Qi Yuan was looking for was actually his own precious son—】

【His expression became extremely colorful!】

【Ye Yu was someone else’s benefactor? What had he done?】

【Ye Zhendong repeatedly questioned her, but Qi Yuan remained tight-lipped.】

【She insisted that some things could not be said!】

【This only further aroused Ye Zhendong’s curiosity.】

【But one thing was certain—this girl definitely had feelings for Ye Yu!】

【The look of a young girl in love could never be faked!】

【Honestly speaking, compared to Cui Yanshui, Ye Zhendong now felt that Qi Yuan was more suitable as his daughter-in-law!】

【After all, now that Yu’er could cultivate, he did not necessarily need to rely on the Cui family!】

【Therefore, finding a gentle and considerate wife was more important than anything else!】

【If he chose Cui Yanshui, then Yu’er would inevitably walk the same path as himself in the future.】

【He had already endured the suffering of a strong-willed wife once—he truly did not wish for his son to experience the same!】

【Thus, the more Ye Zhendong looked at Qi Yuan, the more satisfied he became.】

【What? Her cultivation level is low?】

【Hah, Xuanji Hall may lack many things, but resources are not one of them. As long as she isn’t a waste like Ye Yu used to be, they could easily pile resources onto her until she reached the Heavenly God Realm!】

【Strength wasn’t that important!】

【Ye Zhendong placed his hands on his hips!】

【Before long, two streaks of light sped over!】

【Shi Tiange landed steadily in front of Ye Zhendong, frantically blinking and subtly waving her hand, signaling him to quickly take Qi Yuan away!】

【In the next moment, Cui Yanshui followed closely behind!】

【With her Ancient God Realm cultivation, she was not much slower than Shi Tiange.】

【So much so that before Ye Zhendong could figure out what was happening, she had already arrived.】

【And immediately locked her gaze onto Qi Yuan!】

【Indeed, a very beautiful girl—so much so that it stirred a faint sense of crisis within her!】

【Wait... why would she feel a sense of crisis?】

【Cui Yanshui subconsciously clenched her fists!】
