Ye Qingxian, You Also Hope Lingling Can Become the Future Pope's Wife, Right?

That seems to be the only explanation she could come up with, right? After all, her father's intentions were too clear; he bluntly stated that he had his eye on her son.

"Sigh..." Ye Qingxian sighed, "Dad, why are you in such a hurry?!"

"How old is the young Young Master? Although he looks like he's in his teens, he's only six years old."

"How old is Lingling? She's only three. Isn't this a bit too early?" Ye Qingxian thought to herself.

"Alright, alright, don't bring this up again. You're just like that Dugu scoundrel!" Qian Xunji rubbed his temples and said, "If there's nothing else, leave. Don't bother me here. I'm very busy!"

"Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope." Ye Changqing smiled awkwardly, not feeling embarrassed at all, and then said to Ye Qingxian, "Qingxian, shall we go?"

"Alright!" Ye Qingxian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Was it finally over? She had been under immense pressure.

She had been getting along well with the Supreme Pontiff Consort, even finding it quite easy, until her father said those words, and now she really didn't know how to face Supreme Pontiff Consort.

"Let's go, let's go!" Qian Xunji said.

After Ye Changqing and his family left, Qian Xunji sat down in a rattan chair and looked at Qian Renxue and Qian Renfeng, saying, "What are you two still doing here? Hurry up and start cultivating! Break through to Level-Thirty Quasi-Soul Venerable as soon as possible, and then absorb your Soul Ring!"

"It's Dad!" After saying that, Qian Renxue and Qian Renfeng left this place of trouble.

Qian Renfeng, in particular, felt as if everyone had designs on him. Was it Dugu Bo, or Ye Changqing?

All I can say is that they truly deserve to be old friends.

After everyone had left, leaving only Qian Xunji and Ah Yin, Qian Xunji complained, "This Dugu scoundrel is like that, and this Ye Changqing is like that too? Is my son some kind of hot commodity?"

Ah Yin sat next to Qian Xunji and said with a smile, "Aren't our children highly sought after? Otherwise, why would they recommend their granddaughter so much?!"

"Forget Xunji, Xunji, don't overthink it. I think Lingling is a good girl, let's just let things take their course from now on," Ah Yin said.

"Not bad?" Qian Xunji's lips twitched upon hearing this. "Ah Yin, how come you feel something's not bad just because you see a girl?"

"Forget it, I don't care anymore, let them do whatever they want, those two old bastards!" Qian Xunji muttered.

Ah Yin smiled slightly, said nothing, slowly got up and lay down on Qian Xunji's chest, enjoying the breeze together.

Meanwhile, Ye Changqing, Ye Qingxian, and the others, who had already left the Papal Palace, stopped in their tracks.

"Father, what are you thinking? Even if you really have that idea, you shouldn't just say it out loud!" Ye Qingxian said speechlessly, looking at her father.

"What do you know? You're all talk and no action!" Ye Changqing said calmly. "I'm just testing you, you know?!"

"Test the waters? But this isn't how you test someone! Now I don't know how to get along with the Supreme Pontiff Consort."

"It's alright, it's alright!" Ye Changqing said with a smile, "Do you see His Holiness the Pope?"

Ye Qingxian recalled carefully, "It seems there really wasn't? Although His Holiness the Pope was cursing and swearing, he didn't sternly refuse?"

"Yes, and what about the Supreme Pontiff Consort? Is she the same way? Doesn't she find it objectionable?" Ye Changqing asked.

"Yes," Ye Qingxian said.

"That's more like it! As long as His Holiness the Pope and His Supreme Pontiff Consort don't object, don't we have a chance?!"

Ye Changqing said with a smile, "The Supreme Pontiff Consort was just a commoner Soul Master, and I heard her Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass? If she can become the Supreme Pontiff Consort, why doesn't our Lingling have a chance?!"

"Although Lingling is still young, what about in twenty years? The Young Master twenty-six, Lingling will be twenty-three, which is only three years older than Lingling. If they cultivate their feelings from a young age, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are Childhood Sweethearts!"

"I've heard that Dugu Bo has already made his move, we can't wait!" Ye Changqing said.

"Father, aren't you in a little too much of a hurry?" Ye Qingxian asked. "Shouldn't you slow down a bit?!"

"Worried? I'm not worried at all! I didn't say anything, just that I had nothing to repay you with," Ye Changqing said.

"Qingxian, don't you want Lingling to become the future Pope's wife? In Qingxian's opinion, the young Young Master is a perfect match!"

"The Young Master is handsome and talented. Most importantly, Young Master is different from ordinary people. It's hard to describe!" Ye Changqing said.

"Could it be you, Father...?" Ye Qingxian.

"Forget it, we'll have plenty of opportunities in the future. Being in such a good position gives us a head start. If we don't seize the opportunity, wouldn't we be missing out?" Ye Changqing said with a smile as he walked.

"Even that old poisoner can send his granddaughter to the Papal Palace. His Holiness the Pope and the young Young Master have been such a great help to our Undying Family, so why can't our Lingling be the playmate of the two young Young Master?!" Ye Changqing said calmly.

"Father, you're really shameless. Who's playing with whom here?" Ye Qingxian said speechlessly.

Of course, she knew that her father was right to do so—being close to the source of the water makes it easier to get the moon first—but wasn't this a bit too hasty?

"Qingxian, do you think I'm in a hurry? Actually, this is called sincerity, you know? At His Holiness the Pope's position, what he wants to see is not intrigue and trickery, but sincerity!"

"Compared to those dirty schemes, sincerity is the ultimate weapon for His Holiness the Pope!" Ye Changqing said.

"Dugu Bo wasn't stupid back then!" he said with a smile. "Now His Holiness the Pope and the Supreme Pontiff Consort know our thoughts, so whatever we do in the future won't be surprising."

"After all, it's for his granddaughter, and we haven't betrayed the Spirit Hall, have we? We just want to find a good match for our granddaughter, and obviously, isn't the young Young Master the perfect one?"

"Hiss..." Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxian wondered why she felt there was a reason behind her father's words.

At the level of His Holiness the Pope, what he wants is nothing more than sincerity. If you try to play dirty tricks on the Pope... the tragic fate of that saintess from back then is still fresh in our minds.

"Now you understand? I don't see any rush. I've simply told His Holiness the Pope my thoughts and purpose."

"Father, brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! But Lingling is a bit dull," Ye Qingxian.

"What's so special about this? Don't you know what it means to say... 'Give it time, anything is possible'!" Ye Changqing laughed. "Besides, was I bad-looking when I was young? Were you bad-looking? Will Lingling be bad-looking in the future?"

"I'm doing this all for your sake. If the curse of the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul can't be broken in the future, if I really die in the future..." Ye Changqing said, looking at Ye Qingxian.

Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry; they do so much, but it's all for the sake of their children.

"Father..." Ye Qingxian, her face filled with emotion.

"Alright, let's hurry back. We can visit each other whenever we have time, but of course, we should keep it to a reasonable frequency!"

"If it happens too frequently, it will become harassment, which will offend His Holiness the Pope and His Supreme Pontiff Consort. In that case, we will really lose more than we gain!"
