Because letting the Chen family's women marry outside was obviously much easier to control than marrying the Chen family's women to those who originally belonged to the Chen family.
Moreover, their requirement was that all the children born with the bloodline of the Soul Refiner should belong to the Chen family, and the children must also have the surname Chen.
Therefore, the Chen family has always done this. In this way, the Chen family slowly developed and grew stronger. Although not all the people with the surname Chen in the Chen family were related by blood, the number of collateral relatives gradually increased, and the family naturally grew.
In the Chen family, there were also many people with the surname Chen who married people with the surname Chen. However, although these people all had the surname Chen, and they might more or less have some blood relations, after passing down from generation to generation, this blood relationship was actually very distant.
Originally, Chen Tianxing was also not very willing to let the Chen family's women marry out, but now the Chen family's situation was not as good as before. He also hoped to be able to marry other aristocratic families to make the Chen family strong again.
After all, if they could help the Chen family open the passage to the Dark Nether Realm with the help of the ancestors of other aristocratic families, then the disciples of the Chen family wouldn't have to wait for a hundred years to get the opportunity to enter the Dark Nether Realm.
Moreover, they could bring out more souls, so that the disciples of the Chen family who had no way to enter the Dark Nether Realm could obtain souls to cultivate. This was a chance for the Chen family to take off again.
Therefore, he thought of such a way to quietly spread the news that the Chen family was willing to marry off women with the bloodline of the Soul Refiner.
After all, he also hoped to let more people know about this matter, so this news was only spread through some indirect means.
It was precisely because of this news that those aristocratic families sent so many people to propose marriage. But the problem was that there were four of them, and all of them were proposing to Chen Xinran. This made him feel very helpless.
If the person they wanted wasn't the same person, then even if the four aristocratic families came, it wouldn't matter. But now that they all wanted Chen Xinran, this was not good.
Therefore, he actually regretted spreading this news. He didn't expect Chen Xinran to be so popular with these aristocratic families, and everyone wanted her as their daughter-in-law.
But now that Chen Xinran had spread the news that she already had a lover, how would the four aristocratic families feel after hearing this news? Would they still want Chen Xinran?
If not, would they change to someone else?
"Clan Head, Seventh Young Mistress requests an audience!" Just as Chen Tianxing was having a headache over Chen Xinran's matter, a servant suddenly came in with a message.
"Let her in!" Chen Tianxing was stunned. He was looking for her, but he didn't expect her to come first.
"But Seventh Young Lady brought two men with her. They also want to pay a visit to the Patriarch!" the servant said.
"Two men? Let them wait in the side hall! "Chen Tianxing frowned, not understanding what Chen Xinran meant.
However, the news that came out of the Chen family today made him think of something. Could it be that one of the two men was Xinran's rumored lover?
Since he was here, he wanted to see how capable this man was to be able to win Xinran's heart.
Not long later, Chen Xinran brought Cheng Yu and Xin Luo to the side hall. This side hall was very big. The decorations in the hall were also very simple. Beside the first chair was a tea table.
This side hall was actually a meeting hall. This was the place where the Chen family received guests and also the place where the elders would discuss matters.
If it was the main hall, it would be the place to discuss important matters. Furthermore, a lot of people would only be in the main hall when they had to participate in the meeting.
When the trio arrived at the side hall, there was no one else in the side hall.
"Where's the Patriarch?" When Chen Xinran saw that there was no one around, she asked the servant who led the way.
"The Patriarch will be here soon. He asked you to wait here for a while!" The servant said.
Chen Xinran nodded and didn't say much. She let Cheng Yu and Xin Luo take a seat first. A few servants poured a cup of tea for the trio. The trio didn't say anything and just drank the tea quietly.
However, the trio's heart wasn't as calm as they looked. Chen Xinran and Xin Luo were very nervous. After all, they were here today for their matter.
Whether they could succeed or not, it would depend on the outcome of the discussion with the Patriarch. If the discussion wasn't successful, then she would really be married off to another aristocratic family.
Regardless of which aristocratic family it was, she wasn't willing. However, she couldn't make the decision herself. She was also filled with helplessness and bitterness.
On the other hand, Cheng Yu was obviously much calmer. Although this matter wasn't related to him, this was his brother's matter. He naturally couldn't just stand by and watch.
Although this matter seemed to be somewhat thorny, Cheng Yu felt that it wasn't completely impossible for them to succeed.
On the contrary, on the way here, he had also learned about the Chen Family's marriage from Chen Xinran. Furthermore, what he didn't expect was that this was the first time the Chen Family was going to marry off their daughter.
Although this caused him to be somewhat surprised, it also allowed him to understand some of the doubts in his heart. Because he had always felt that it was very strange. Logically speaking, after the Chen Family's daughter who had the bloodline of a Soul Refiner was married off, other families should also have a Soul Refiner.
Why was it that until now, only the Chen Family had a Soul Refiner?
It turned out that this was the problem. The Chen Family's daughter had never married off before. However, from this matter, Cheng Yu was able to see some problems with the Chen Family.
In fact, the Chen Family was not very willing to let their bloodline flow out, especially women who had the bloodline of a Soul Refiner. If they were willing, it was unknown how many forces or families in the world were related to the Chen Family.
It was also because of the Chen Family's protection of the bloodline of a Soul Refiner that this situation occurred.
Therefore, thinking of this, Cheng Yu's heart was even more confident. He felt that this should be a breakthrough for the Chen Family. Since the Chen Family didn't want to do this, then wouldn't his chance come?
Just like this, an hour passed, but they still didn't see the Chen Family's Patriarch, Chen Tianxing. On the other hand, a few servants came to refill the tea for the three of them several times.
Why isn't the Patriarch here yet? Chen Xinran was a little anxious.
The longer she waited, the more anxious she became. However, with her status, she couldn't do anything. If it was someone else, she could still lose her temper.
But towards the Patriarch, she didn't dare to lose her temper at all. After all, in this Chen Family, the person she was most afraid of was the Patriarch.
Seventh Miss, please wait a little longer. The Patriarch still has something to do and should be out soon The servant said with a smile.
He wasn't the Patriarch, so he naturally didn't know what the Patriarch was thinking. Since the Patriarch didn't come out himself, he naturally had his own thoughts.
