Of course, that was also because there was no fundamental conflict of interest between the Nine-Snake Liu Clan and him. The snake-scaled old woman's intentional attempt to seize Ruan Shui'er's body... had no effect on him whatsoever.
Conversely, although the Nine-Snake Liu Clan had helped him with ulterior motives, he had benefited considerably as well.
But as they spoke of this, Clan Chief Liu seemed to casually use Wei Tu's imminent departure from the Black Cloud Minor Realm as a pretext to probe him regarding Ruan Shui'er.
Exceptional people were drawn to one another.
Though Clan Chief Liu knew that Wei Tu had always been solitary at the Deer Mountain Daoist Grounds and had little contact with Ruan Shui'er, who could say... that Wei Tu had not placed romantic feelings last as a necessary sacrifice for the sake of his Dao path?
"Before, for Shui'er's future, this Seat kept a close watch over her. Even toward you, her fellow disciple and senior brother, I did not refrain from issuing warnings... But now, your aptitude is outstanding, and your future realm will most likely surpass Shui'er's..."
"If you are willing, this Seat would gladly bring about this match and have you two become Dao companions, supporting one another in the future."
Clan Chief Liu stroked the neat beard beneath his chin and smiled faintly.
A golden boy and jade maiden, twin jewels of the same sect...
At any time, that would have been a fine tale.
Especially after the "care" he had shown by opening with Jade Qilin!
So long as Wei Tu truly harbored even the slightest affection or vague fondness for Ruan Shui'er, there was a considerable chance he would agree at this moment!
At the very least, he would reveal his true feelings.
*What a vicious scheme. If
