"I only have these three stalks!" Xin Luo's heart sank. Could it be that he felt that there were too few?
Just now, he thought that he could negotiate with Chen Tianxing, but he didn't expect Chen Tianxing to think that it was too little. This time, he really didn't know what to do.
This time, Chen Tianxing didn't say anything. He was thinking about it. The four stalks of Myriad Soul Grass contained nearly a hundred thousand souls. If he could obtain so many souls, it would be of great help to the Chen Family.
However, although the Ten Thousand Soul Grass could be used repeatedly, the time needed to store tens of thousands of souls in one Ten Thousand Soul Grass was probably not less than the time needed to open a passage to the Dark Nether Realm.
Hence, if there were more Myriad Soul Grass, it wouldn't be a loss for him to betroth Chen Xinran to him. After all, he still had other conditions for Xinran to marry Xinluo.
However, four stalks of Myriad Soul Grass was indeed too little.
Patriarch Chen, as long as you can agree to the marriage between my Senior Brother and Miss Xinran, I can give you the five stalks of Myriad Soul Grass in my hands! Cheng Yu stood out and said.
Initially, he wasn't prepared to interfere. After all, this was Xin Luo's personal matter. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't interfere. But now, it was clear that he had to act.
"You also have Myriad Soul Grass? And there are five of them? " This time, Chen Tianxing was astonished. He looked at the five stalks of soul grass in Cheng Yu's hand. Indeed, they were ten thousand years old soul grass. The quality was similar to the one in Xin Luo's hand.
"That's right. As long as we get married, my 5 stalks of Ten Thousand Soul Grass in addition to my Senior Brother's 4 stalks, a total of 9 stalks of Ten Thousand Soul Grass will belong to Patriarch. How about it?" Cheng Yu spoke.
To him, this Myriad Soul Grass was actually very precious, because he could refine these Myriad Soul Grass into soul pills and give them to the ghost cultivator army in his hands.
However, Cheng Yu was a person who valued friendship the most. As long as he was able to help Xin Luo settle this marriage, what could five stalks of Thousand Soul Grass count as?
"Nine stalks of Myriad Soul Grass!" Chen Tianxing was obviously tempted.
He felt that four stalks of Myriad Soul Grass was a little too little, but if he added another five stalks, it would be nine stalks. The temptation of nine stalks of Myriad Soul Grass was still very great.
However, if he agreed just like that, it would be fine with the Great Elder, but how was he going to explain it to the other families?
If they felt that their family was inferior to a disciple of Limitless Palace, then they wouldn't let it go so easily.
"Nine stalks of Myriad Soul Grass is indeed a lot, but it's not something that I can agree to," Chen Tianxing said.
"Patriarch Chen, what do you mean by that? You are the patriarch of the Chen family. If you don't have the right to decide Xinran's marriage, then who does? " Initially, when she heard Chen Tianxing agree to it, Xin Luo was very excited in her heart. But in the end, he still didn't agree to it.
"Originally, I could make the decision on my own, but now there are four aristocratic families that have proposed marriage to Xinran. If I were to marry Xinran to you just like that, the four aristocratic families wouldn't be able to accept it.
If we offend the four families, I think not only our Chen Family will be in trouble, even your Limitless Palace will get into unnecessary trouble! "Chen Tianxing said.
"Then what does Patriarch Chen intend to do?" When Xin Luo heard that it might bring trouble to Limitless Palace, she immediately got worried.
What Chen Tianxing said wasn't wrong. If they were to know that their aristocratic families had actually lost to a disciple of Limitless Palace, Limitless Palace would definitely be troubled by them.
"Therefore, this matter isn't as simple as you think. Me agreeing to the marriage is a small matter, but if it were to bring trouble to my Chen Family and your Limitless Palace, then it would be very bad! " Chen Tianxing seemed to have already agreed to the marriage between Xinluo and Xinran. Furthermore, his words seemed to be very considerate of them.
However, Cheng Yu felt that Chen Tianxing wouldn't be so easy to talk to. After all, he was the patriarch of the family. How could he marry off their Chen Family's daughter so easily?
"May I know what Patriarch Chen has in mind?" Cheng Yu enquired.
"This …" Chen Tianxing showed a difficult expression.
"Patriarch Chen, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it. As long as you have a way for me to marry Xinran, I can agree to any condition!" Xin Luo said anxiously.
"How about this. I can accept your betrothal gifts first and consider it as me agreeing to your marriage proposal. However, whether or not you are able to successfully marry Xinran will depend on your own ability! "Chen Tianxing said.
"What does Patriarch Chen mean?" Xin Luo enquired puzzledly.
"Just now, I have already said it very clearly. Other than you, there are four other aristocratic families that have also proposed marriage to Xinran. In addition, our Chen Family Great Elder's son, Chen Qiuhan, had also proposed marriage to Xinran. If I were to directly agree to it, the others would definitely not agree to it.
Therefore, I can only set up a competition. Only the person who wins in the end would have the qualifications to marry Xinran. This way, it would be the fairest way. Everyone would have the same chance to marry Xinran. What do you think? "Chen Tianxing smiled.
"Patriarch Chen, how do we compete?" Xin Luo's good mood immediately sank. Originally, she thought that Chen Tianxing had already approved of her. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a competition.
If that was the case, then she wouldn't have any advantage. Then, all the nice words that Chen Tianxing had said just now would be meaningless.
However, there were two things that he had said that were right. First, in this case, even if she won, she wouldn't have to worry about the other aristocratic families finding trouble with her.
Second, their chances of marrying Xinran would indeed be the same.
However, he didn't understand the other people and didn't know how strong they were. However, they were all members of big families. Moreover, if they were able to marry Xinran for the sake of their family, they would definitely be people who had obtained the approval of their family.
How could such people be weak?
"I haven't made up my mind about that yet. However, I can first inform the other people who proposed marriage to Xinran. You just need to prepare yourself. When the time comes, I will arrange a time for the competition! "Chen Tianxing said with a smile.
"Patriarch Chen, how strong are the opponents who proposed marriage to Xinran?" Xin Luo asked.
What he was most worried about now was the strength of his opponents. If they were stronger than him, then what was the point of competing? Wasn't that obvious to make up the numbers?
If that was the case, he couldn't agree to Chen Tianxing's method. How could he not understand that Chen Tianxing had clearly taken a fancy to his Myriad Soul Grass? If he wanted to obtain the Myriad Soul Grass, then he had to give himself an advantage.
