Eunuch Qiu felt somewhat helpless. He knew Zhao Guangyi was getting a little ahead of himself.
Although Huang Xiao had defeated Xu Wuyu, that had almost been Huang Xiao's limit.
Have Huang Xiao defeat Cao Wuxin now? That was simply unrealistic. Unless Huang Xiao was given time-perhaps a few years-there might be a sliver of a chance. Of course, there was also a strong possibility that Huang Xiao would never catch up to Cao Wuxin.
And however long Cao Wuxin's trip to Dali dragged on, surely it would not take years? It was even possible that he would return shortly after arriving.

By contrast, verifying the relationship between Huang Xiao and Ling Tianya was rather more practical.
"Your Majesty, I fear that will not work. Although Huang Xiao's cultivation has advanced at astonishing speed, Xu Wuyu's cultivation is already at Upper Peerless, after all, and he is practically among the very best of them. I fear no one short of the Peerless Realm could defeat him," Eunuch Qiu said.
"I was only saying it. If that boy really managed it, what would be the harm in marrying both my daughters to him?" Zhao Guangyi said with a smile. "Still, I hope the boy has some connection to Ling Tianya. He had better not disappoint me."

Naturally, Huang Xiao knew nothing of any of this, for he and Zhao Yuankan had already entered Khitan territory.
"To think there isn't even a soul here to welcome us," Zhao Yuankan said with a sigh.
Ordinarily,
