"Since that's the case, what good way does Seventh Brother have to make Cheng Yu stay?" Chen Tianyun's complexion turned ugly as he stared at Chen Tianming.
"In my opinion, it's better to be soft than hard." Chen Tianming said.
"How soft?"
"Patriarch, I think there's a good opportunity to rope in Cheng Yu!" Chen Tianming looked at Chen Tianxing and said.
"Seventh Brother, tell me about it!"
"Actually, it's very simple. Since Cheng Yu is here to propose marriage to my daughter because of his senior brother, we can use this to tie Cheng Yu to our Chen Family." Chen Tianming said.
"Seventh Brother, what do you mean?" Chen Tianxing had a rough idea.
Chen Tianming's thoughts seemed to be similar to his, but there were some thoughts that he couldn't say out. After all, there was still the Great Elder here. He couldn't directly side with Xin Luo, or else it would make the Great Elder feel bad.
However, if this method was proposed by Chen Tianming, even if it wasn't to the Great Elder's liking, it would still be a conflict between Chen Tianming and the Great Elder.
"I feel that if we can let my daughter marry Cheng Yu's senior brother, we might be able to reach an agreement with Cheng Yu. This is much better than simply trapping him in the Chen Family.
If we really fall out with Cheng Yu, even if we trap him in the Chen Family, he might not help the Chen Family! Chen Tianming said.
Actually, he didn't say this completely for the Chen Family, but also for his daughter Xinran. He was also very clear that as a woman from a big family, it was very difficult for her to be together with the person she liked.
After all, they were born for the benefit of their family. Therefore, when they came to this world, they were destined to be unable to change their fate.
And now, it just so happened that his daughter liked Cheng Yu's senior brother. Moreover, Cheng Yu was very useful to the Chen Family. Why not use this opportunity to help his daughter?
This way, not only would his daughter's wish be fulfilled, but it would also benefit the Chen Family.
He also understood that the Chen Family wasn't very willing to marry their daughter to other families. Although the Chen Family was currently weak and could only use the power of other families to help the Chen Family rise again, none of these families were good people.
They wouldn't really treat the two families as one just because of the marriage. Their goal was always for their own families.
Moreover, the reason they came to the Chen Family to propose marriage was to obtain the Chen Family's Soul Refiner bloodline.
Although the Chen Family's Soul Refiner Bloodline seemed to be of little value at the moment, if they could obtain such a bloodline, it would undoubtedly increase the strength of their family by a lot.
As long as they could obtain this bloodline, they would be able to give birth to even more descendants of the Soul Refiner bloodline. In this way, as long as time passed, they would slowly form a Chen family.
This was not a good thing for the Chen Clan, so the females of the Chen Clan had never married outside of the clan. This was to protect the Chen Clan's necromancer bloodline.
Although these aristocratic families were not ideal marriage partners, the Great Elder's son, Chen Qiuhan, was also not suitable. If the Chen family wasn't weak, this wouldn't be a problem.
But now, they wanted to use this method to help the Chen family rise, so Chen Qiuhan was not suitable.
Therefore, these people who proposed marriage to his daughter, no matter how he looked at it, Cheng Yu's senior brother was the most suitable. It could be said to be a win-win situation
"En, Seventh Brother's method is really good. If Xinran can marry Cheng Yu's senior brother, our relationship with Cheng Yu will be a lot closer. It shouldn't be difficult for them to help our Chen Family." Chen Tianming's words were exactly what Chen Tianxing wanted, but his face didn't show much expression. He just nodded in satisfaction.
"Patriarch, this old man feels that this method might not work." At this moment, the Great Elder stood up and said.
"Great Elder, what do you think will not work?" Regarding the Great Elder's rebuttal, Chen Tianxing didn't feel surprised.
After all, he still wanted Xinran to be his daughter-in-law. Naturally, he didn't want Xinran to marry Cheng Yu's senior brother.
"This matter isn't so simple. If the other aristocratic families didn't come to propose marriage, then it's fine. But now, they have already proposed marriage to Xinran. If we were to marry Xinran to Cheng Yu's senior brother, not only will it be bad for our Chen Family, it will also bring trouble to Limitless Palace. Isn't this harming others?
Therefore, I feel that we should carry out a fair competition. If Cheng Yu's senior brother wins in this competition, then everyone will have nothing to say. "The Great Elder said.
His words didn't mention his own son at all. Furthermore, it seemed to be for the sake of the Chen Family and Limitless Palace. However, these words were reasonable. Even if others wanted to refute it, they had no way to do so.
After all, this was the truth. How could the four great families be easy to get along with? Now that they had come to propose marriage, in the end, the Chen Family actually married their daughter to a small Limitless Palace disciple, how could the four great families let this matter go?
Could it be that in the eyes of the Chen Family, a Limitless Palace disciple was inferior to them? This was obviously looking down on their aristocratic families.
Originally, they wanted to use this method to help the Chen Family rise. But if they were to do this, wouldn't they be bringing trouble to the Chen Family?
When the time comes, the four great families wouldn't let go of the Chen Family and would even deliberately make things difficult for them. By then, the future days of the Chen Family would be even more difficult.
After listening to these words, Chen Tianming didn't know what to say anymore. After all, what the Great Elder said was the truth. He couldn't possibly allow the Chen Family to offend so many aristocratic families just for his daughter. If so, he would really become the sinner of the Chen Family.
However, his heart was unwilling because he had never seen Cheng Yu's senior brother before. He also didn't know how strong he was. If they were to compete, he might not be able to win.
Therefore, he was still worried. If Chen Qiuhan were to really win, or perhaps the four great families won, Xinran would be very sad.
Thinking of this, although he wished to stop it, he didn't have a suitable reason.
Chen Tianxing sat on the seat of honor with an indifferent expression. Actually, the reason given by the Great Elder was also the reason he gave to Xin Luo. Regarding this point, it was also what he was worried about.
Although in his heart, he rather approved of Xinluo and Xinran being together, the other aristocratic families had to give them a suitable reason.
It was precisely because of this that he proposed to have a competition. Although if it was like this, Xinluo might lose, he had to think of a method that would increase the chances of Xinluo winning.
As long as Xinluo won, it would be the most beneficial to the Chen Family. Furthermore, Xinran would probably be very happy about it. At least this way, it wouldn't attract any more trouble.
