Wang Chen had to coax and persuade Auntie Lu for quite some time before he finally talked her out of matchmaking him with her cousin's daughter.
It left him sweating all over, and he felt more exhausted than after killing someone.
Wang Chen found it rather baffling.
He had only just arrived, had bought his current residence less than a month ago, and could not be considered familiar with his neighbors. Besides, the appearance he had disguised himself with was truly quite ordinary. Why was she so eager?
In truth, he had underestimated his own value.
Although Wang Chen had concealed his cultivation, what others saw was the seventh level of Qi Condensation.
High-level Qi Condensation cultivators already counted among the upper echelon of cultivators in Dongwu City Stronghold, and were bound to be held in high regard.
Most importantly, Wang Chen was amiable and courteous toward others, without the arrogance and domineering manner of many high-level cultivators.
And with no one by his side, he naturally became a prized delicacy in his neighbors' eyes.
If any family had a daughter, niece, or maternal niece of suitable age, it was perfectly natural for them to entertain such thoughts.
In the world of cultivators, the strong reigned supreme, and one's strength often determined one's status.
This rule was displayed most clearly in the Outer Region's city strongholds.
Most Rogue Cultivators came from humble origins and had no family lineage to speak of. Whoever had the harder fist was the boss.

Everyone had such thoughts; Auntie Lu had merely made the first move!
