"I..."
"What do you mean, you? If you don't understand, then don't spout nonsense here. You, Guo Lengzi, are thickheaded and stupid. Could you possibly come up with any good idea?" Elder Wu said disdainfully.
"That's right, I, Guo, cannot outargue you, but my loyalty to the young miss can be witnessed by heaven and sun. Unlike you, you consider yourself in everything. The old island lord's bones have yet to grow cold, and you already want to go find a new master. Fine, what you said does make sense, but so what if the two are well matched? That Venerable Ten Thousand Beasts is greedy for women and lustful. I heard he has over a hundred concubines, and even abducted quite a few female cultivators to serve as Cauldrons. To have the Eldest Miss marry down to such a shameless old thing—would that not be pushing her into a fire pit?"
"Pedantic!"
Faced with Guo Ru's questioning, Elder Wu merely showed disdain.
"For a real man to have three wives and four concubines is as normal as can be, much less the lord of an island."
"What do a few hundred concubines amount to? Among the regional overlords I know, many have even more maidservants and concubines. Men, as immortal cultivators, marrying a few more wives—what is so strange about that?"
"As for Cauldrons, among the brothers seated here, similar things may not necessarily be something no one has done. Dual cultivation is already beneficial for breaking through bottlenecks. What does that have to do with the Eldest Miss marrying down? Even if Venerable Ten Thousand Beasts were ten times more arrogant, he would still properly take her as a Dao companion. Maidservants, concubines, and Cauldrons have not the slightest relation to our young miss."
"You..."
