"Family Head Chen, I, Xinluo, am absolutely true to Xinran. For her, I am willing to do anything. I hope that Family Head can grant us our wish!" Xinluo hurriedly knelt down beside Chen Xinran and said sincerely.
"You wish to marry Xinran but none of your Limitless Palace's elders are here to propose marriage. Isn't this a little inappropriate?" Chen Tianxing went silent for a moment. He picked up the tea on the table and drank it slowly. This caused Xin Luo and Xinran to become even more nervous. After which, he placed down the teacup and spoke unhurriedly.
Chen Tianxing's tone was very tranquil. It was as though no emotions could be heard from his tone. By right, for him to say such words, it should be because he was dissatisfied with them.
After all, those who came to propose marriage should be the elders of the family. Since these people were Limitless Palace's disciples and wanted to propose marriage to their Chen Family, it should naturally be the elders of Limitless Palace.
At the very least, this would be able to show their respect to the Chen Family. But they actually came themselves. Furthermore, they even brought along their Junior Brother.
Therefore, in terms of etiquette, this was indeed wrong.
However, Chen Tianxing's tone might cause them to scratch their heads in confusion. But when Xin Luo heard what he said, her heart started to get worried.
Was he blaming them?
Actually, the reason why they came to the Chen Family to propose marriage was just a spur of the moment decision. Therefore, they didn't think too much about it. Originally, he had thought of asking his Sect Master to propose marriage. But he felt that if he did so, wouldn't he be looking down on his teacher?
Besides, he had never interacted with the Chen Family before. He also didn't know if the Chen Family was easy to get along with. If the Chen Family were to embarrass his teacher, wouldn't he be throwing away his teacher's face?
In addition, Cheng Yu had always guaranteed that he would be able to help them settle this matter. Therefore, he didn't think too much about it.
Now that he heard Chen Tianxing mentioning it, it was inevitable for him to be nervous. After all, he hadn't even gone through the etiquette of proposing marriage. How could the other party agree to it? It was already good enough that they weren't chased out.
"Family Head Chen, this time it is junior's negligence. The main reason is that we have just returned from our training and haven't returned to Limitless Palace yet. Moreover, I miss Xinran too much, so I came here directly. I hope that Family Head will not blame me for my rudeness. As long as Family Head is willing to agree to my marriage with Xinran, I will definitely request my Sect Master to bring up six gifts and solemnly propose to Family Head! "Although Xin Luo was nervous, she was not stupid.
He couldn't let the Sect Leader do something he wasn't sure about. He couldn't let him lose face. As long as Chen Tianxing relented now and was willing to agree to his relationship with Xinran, then this matter was basically settled.
At this time, if he asked the Head Master to come and propose marriage, it would be a sure thing. He was just going through the motions to give the Chen family more face. In this way, both sides would look good.
"Haha, you are very thoughtful. However, Xinran cannot marry you!" What kind of person was Chen Tianxing? Could it be that he could not see through Xinluo's little scheme?
However, no matter how good Xinluo's scheme was, he wouldn't give Chen Xinran away so easily.
In the Chen family, anyone who possessed the bloodline of a Necromancer was extremely precious. Furthermore, Chen Xinran was a direct descendant of the Chen family. The bloodline of a Necromancer in her body was much purer than most of the Chen family members who possessed the bloodline of a Necromancer.
Therefore, Chen Xinran's value to the Chen family could be said to be extremely high. Even if the children she gave birth to weren't 100% guaranteed to possess the bloodline of a Necromancer, they wouldn't be far from it.
It was naturally impossible to marry Chen Xinran off so easily.
"Why?" This was the first time Chen Tianxing had denied it. Furthermore, he was so resolute. This made Xinluo anxious.
"Because you aren't the only one who wants to marry Xinran. Let's not talk about the Chen family's Great Elder's son, Chen Qiuhan. There are also the Ji, Jiang, Eastern Palace, and Shangguan Families. All of them want to marry Xinran. What advantage do you think you have compared to them? "Chen Tianxing looked at Xinluo and said indifferently.
"Family Head, if we're talking about status and background, perhaps I can't compare to these great families you mentioned. However, my feelings for Xinran are incomparable to any of them. What else is more important than Xinran's happiness? Could it be that Family Head Chen wants Xinran to marry someone she doesn't like? "Xinluo said agitatedly.
"He he … For us, as long as we can obtain sufficient benefits for the family, what does sacrificing one person's happiness matter? Xinran knows this much better than you, don't you think? Xinran? "Chen Tianxing smiled faintly as he looked at Chen Xinran.
"Yes!" Although Chen Tianxing's words made her feel very disappointed, pained, and sorrowful, as a daughter of the Chen family, she knew that everything was destined.
From the very beginning, she was destined to become a tool for the family's benefits. She couldn't change anything. Could she say no in front of the family head?
No!
"Family Head Chen, what do I have to do to get Xinran to marry me?" Xinluo asked unwillingly.
Since he was already here, he wasn't prepared to give up. No matter what, he had to win Xinran over.
"What do you have?" Chen Tianxing looked at Xinluo and asked.
"I …" Xinluo paused as her expression changed drastically. It seemed that she really didn't have anything valuable to exchange for Xinran.
At this moment, Xinluo felt that she was actually so useless. In terms of background, she was merely a disciple of the Limitless Palace. In terms of strength, her current strength was not bad. However, in the Chen family, she might not necessarily not have such strength at her age.
"What? You don't have it? "Chen Tianxing smiled faintly when he saw that even Xinluo had nothing to say.
"I … I can use a ten-thousand-year-old herb to exchange for it. How about it?" Xinluo was anxious. She really didn't know what the Chen family would be interested in. Seeing that Chen Tianxing was forcing her, she blurted out.
"Hehe, you want to use a ten-thousand-year-old herb to exchange for Xinran? Could it be that in your eyes, Xinran is only worth a ten-thousand-year-old herb?" Hearing Xinluo's words, Chen Tianxing laughed involuntarily.
A ten-thousand-year-old herb was indeed precious. With the current situation in the Cultivation World, it was basically very difficult to find ten-thousand-year-old herbs. The Chen family did have some, but they only had a few. They were left behind by the ancestors of the Chen family.
However, although a ten-thousand-year-old herb was precious, in his eyes, Xinran's value far exceeded that of a ten-thousand-year-old herb.
"Not just one. As long as the family head is willing to betroth Xinran to me, I am willing to give all these ten-thousand-year-old herbs to the family head. Consider it my betrothal gift to the Chen family!" Xinluo was also forced into a dead end. After all, he really didn't have anything that the Chen family would be interested in. The only thing he had was the ten-thousand-year-old herb that he had plucked in the Spiritual Qi Illusion.
