Li Qingyuan fell silent for a long while before giving his parents an answer.
"Alright, I agree."
In his previous life, he had read countless fantasy and xianxia novels. Because most authors could not handle the relationship between the male lead and his parents well, many novels began with both parents dead, turning novel websites into virtual orphanages.
A small number of invincible power-fantasy novels wrote the parents as an overpowered pair, with great strength and a powerful family.
Novels where the protagonist's parents were merely ordinary people or ordinary cultivators were few and far between, because... if the male lead compromised for his parents, it would no longer be satisfying. But if he abandoned his parents and left the family, that would be unfilial.
Once the parents were ordinary people, readers would be dissatisfied no matter how the male lead handled things.
Yet among the countless living beings, everyone was an ordinary person. Accepting one's parents' mediocrity and one's own mediocrity was itself a form of cultivation.
If even the parents who loved you could not make you compromise within limited bounds, then you were absolutely a natural-born demonic cultivator seed.
Throughout a person's life, were they not constantly compromising within limited bounds? Many times, they did not even have a choice.
After thinking for a moment, Li Qingyuan added, "But I'll choose the person myself."
Upon hearing this, Li Dingzhou and Chen Xiuyun beamed with joy.
Chen Xiuyun said, "Good, good, good. As long as Yuan'er agrees."
"My son can choose for himself."
Chen Xiuyun pointed at the hundred-odd young and beautiful Female Cultivators and asked, "Then should I have them all leave?"
"No need for the trouble." Li Qingyuan said, "These hundred-odd Female Cultivators must have been selected layer upon layer by Father, Mother, and the family."
