Small Gathering for a Marriage Alliance

Inside the main hall, the Chu Family cultivators displayed goodwill, their faces beaming with smiles.

Those young members of the tribe were all handsome and good-looking, and were no more than twenty or thirty years old.

For cultivators, these individuals can all be considered to be in their prime.

Clearly, this time it's the Chu Family's here for a marriage alliance.

After all, this time, the two major opportunities lie with the Chu Family and the Ye Family.

The Chu Family has the Ancestor Tianfen, who is currently undergoing a breakthrough, while the Ye Family has Ye Haicheng, whose cultivation level is unknown to the public.

However, it's clear that Chu Xiyu's initial intention was to marry him.

But clearly, there are very few female cultivators in the Ye Family.

Ye Jingcheng had also wondered about this.

However, this is even better, as marrying into the Ye Family will not result in any members of the Beast-Link Mark clan being married off.

The female cultivator who was to be married would naturally not know the secret of the Beast-Link Mark.

This is rather sad.

After all, he had to keep it a secret from his wife all the time.

Perhaps when the Ye Family becomes stronger and there's no need to be afraid, he can openly discuss this with his wife.

Ye Jingcheng also lost interest in this.

Let the other cultivators in Lineage worry about arranging marriages for female cultivators.

Even if he were to find someone in the future, he would choose someone without a powerful background; he should forget about dao companion with whom he has a vested interest.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but look at Ye Jingyu, only to find that Ye Jingyu was also looking at him. Both of them gave an awkward smile, clearly having the same thought, and then they both looked at Ye Jingyong.

Ye Jingyong, however, appeared calm and composed.

He didn't notice at all that Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingcheng were already watching him.

"Patriarch Chu Family, all our fine young men are here!" Ye Xingliu said to Chu Xiyu with a smile.

Chu Xiyu glanced at it, but frowned slightly.

Because there were only six or seven cultivators from the Ye Family in the entire hall, in his opinion, even if the Ye Family had few members, there shouldn't be so many marriageable young people.

"Our Ye Family spends all our time traversing the Taihang Mountain Range, so it's natural that some of our members have suffered injuries," Ye Xingliu added, seemingly noticing Chu Xiyu's confusion.

The latter nodded and looked at the women behind him.

"This time, you've chosen wisely. The Ye Family's talents are all exceptionally outstanding!"

Ye Xingliu also looked at the members of the Ye Family, encouraging them to interact with these female cultivators.

"Jingyu and Jingyong, why don't you take these female cultivators from the Chu Family for a walk on the mountain?"

The others immediately obeyed, but after saying that, Ye Jingyu became rather ordinary, not speaking much, and even his temper became strange.

Ye Jingyong, however, was somewhat puzzled. His solo efforts to uphold the Ye family's Lingyun Peak earned him repeated praise from the Chu family female cultivator.

Ye Jingcheng was also among them, but he was just drinking from a jug of wine.

He was feeling a bit down after drinking, and he figured that no one would notice him now.

"It's not good for the renowned Red Fox genius to be drinking alone here!" Just then, a female cultivator wearing a green dress, with her hair tied in a bun and styled in a high ponytail, sat down next to Ye Jingcheng.

"Someone who relies on Spirit Beast deserves to be so famous?" Ye Jingcheng looked at the newcomer with considerable surprise.

The other person had very Water Spirit eyes and a powerful aura. He was no more than thirty years old, yet he had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"The fifth young lady of the Chu Family, also engaged in marriage?" Ye Jingcheng glanced at her and guessed her identity.

She is Chu Yanqing, the daughter of Chu Xichuan of the Chu Family.

In the Chu Family, female cultivators and male cultivators are separated, which is different from the Ye Family.

"You're really something, a forty-year-old Foundation Establishment constantly belittling yourself!" Chu Yanqing said.

"You're interesting too, finding a Foundation Establishment to chat with!" Ye Jingcheng retorted in kind.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yanqing frowned and fell silent, seemingly finding Ye Jingcheng uninteresting.

In the Cultivation World, marriage alliances are generally between the strong and the weak.

Therefore, if Chu Yanqing were to truly marry into the Ye Family, marrying Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't be considered a mismatch, given that the latter's talent is not weak either.

Unless a small Lineage is currying favor with a large Lineage, it's unlikely that a female cultivator with greater talent and strength would marry a male cultivator with less strength.

After Chu Yanqing left, Ye Jingcheng finally had some peace and quiet.

Although Chu Yanqing was beautiful, definitely ranking in the top four among the female cultivators he had ever seen, she seemed rather clever. Such a shrewd female cultivator was not a good thing.

Ye Jingcheng thought to himself with certainty.

He continued drinking, while Ye Jingyu held Jade Slip, seemingly studying something, looking like a hermit.

On the contrary, his second brother, Ye Jingyong, was quite busy at the moment, answering questions for this junior sister Chu and then answering questions for another junior sister Chu.

Fortunately, despite his enthusiasm, Ye Jingyong was very clear about his Yu Family's secrets and what should and shouldn't be mentioned.

Upon noticing this, Ye Jingcheng glanced at their group and, sure enough, Ye Jingli wasn't among them.

Snow melts quickly on sunny days, and it gets dark early as well.

As the sun completely set, a golden telepathic Spirit Talisman echoed from afar.

Ye Jingcheng had finally witnessed a matchmaking event for cultivators, but he didn't want to experience it a second time.

He sensed that the Chu Family was still testing him.

Take Chu Yanqing for example. She's definitely not here for a simple marriage alliance. I always felt like she was there to find out why Ye Jingcheng was able to Foundation Establishment so quickly.

After all, if one were to pay attention, one could know that Ye Jingcheng's progress before breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Refining was extremely slow.

Another Foundation Establishment!

They were also worried that the Ye Family was hiding more Foundation Establishment.

"This time I've brought the Chu Family sisters with me!" Chu Yanqing appeared again just before we left.

Ye Jingcheng didn't speak; he didn't know what the other person meant by those words.

Fortunately, it's over.

The group of more than ten people arrived at the Council Hall again.

Ye Xingliu and Chu Xiyu seemed to have also had a few drinks.

They were flushed from drinking, and felt like they had known each other for a long time.

The superficial work was quite impressive.

But Ye Jingcheng estimated that the secret alliance was definitely based on mutual scheming.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, I have disturbed you for quite some time, so I shall take my leave now!" Chu Xiyu said.

Since it was the Ye Family who initiated the marriage, it must have been the Ye Family who proposed it.

This is something that the Chu Family cannot handle.

After the Chu Family cultivators left, only the Ye Family members remained.

Ye Xingliu looked at the group of cultivators with a smile.

"So, have you found a suitable match?"

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu shook their heads repeatedly. For them, even if they were to marry, they would not want to completely preserve their Dao Heart. They would not marry a cultivator with such scheming intentions.

Human hearts are far more complex than those of Spirit Beast.

They were unwilling to suspect or test the waters.

After all, the human heart is the most vulnerable to testing.

The Chu Family will soon become Purple Mansion Lineage, and these female cultivators will inevitably become arrogant and haughty.

Although the Ye Family would also be involved, it was still more comfortable for the two of them to cultivate alone.

"The Chu Family's willows are quite nice!" Ye Jingyong said.

Both Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu were somewhat surprised by these words.

They never expected their second brother to be so open and honest.

No one expected him to make this choice, after all, Chu Yanliu hadn't asked any questions, and Ye Jingyong hadn't spoken to the latter either.
