The old man dismissed the servants and walked back into the house. The middle-aged woman hurried over and asked, "Fengyun, what happened outside?"
The old man was the master of this house, Yan Fengyun. He closed the door and comforted, "It's nothing, it's just the servants making a ruckus." He walked over to support the middle-aged woman and squeezed out a smile, "Xiaoling, don't worry too much. When Elder Deng comes, he should have a solution."
The woman called Xiaoling nodded and said, "Elder Deng is the Yuanying Divine Lord after all. He's experienced and knowledgeable, so he should have a solution."
Yan Fengyun sighed and said, "Actually, I'm not worried about the Sound Tone Demon Sect, but Shuhui herself. If she wants to join the Sound Tone Demon Sect, no one can stop her."
Wu Xiaoling also sighed, "Yeah, Shuhui's spirit roots are too poor, and she's proud and arrogant. She's stuck at the early stage of foundation establishment, so of course she feels bad. Maybe joining the Sound Tone Demon Sect is the best choice."
Yan Fengyun shook his head, "No matter what, I won't agree. The Sound Tone Demon Sect refining people into paintings isn't a good choice. She doesn't want to be a person of flesh and blood, but she wants to be a painting! I'd rather let her join the Iron Arm Demon Sect than the Sound Tone Demon Sect. "
Wu Xiaoling smiled, "Look at what you're saying. The Iron Arm Demon Sect isn't a place for girls. Look at the disciples of the Iron Arm Demon Sect, their arms are like steel. If my daughter cultivates into such a monster, how will she find a husband in the future?"
"The Sound Tone Demon Sect doesn't look like a human or a ghost. She can't find a husband either!"
Before Yan Fengyun finished, a hearty laugh came from outside, "Nephew Fengyun, why are you so troubled? Could it be that your daughter is in a hurry to find a husband? "
The person who walked in looked even older than Yan Fengyun. This person was Elder Deng, who they were waiting for. Elder Deng was a rogue cultivator, and it was impossible for a rogue cultivator to reach the realm of the Yuanying Divine Lord without some means. It was said that this person had a wide network and had many friends in the Yunyao 8,000 Territory. He also had a lot of ideas, so people who were familiar with him liked to ask him for advice when they ran into trouble.
Seeing Elder Deng enter, Yan Fengyun hurriedly went up to greet him and said with a smile, "Senior Elder Deng, you're making fun of me. It's the time when the Paint Sound Devil Sect is opening its doors and recruiting disciples. How could we have the mood to talk about finding in-laws?"
The middle-aged woman, Wu Xiaoling, also hurried over and bowed in a dignified manner, saying, "Uncle Deng, please don't make fun of us. We were just waiting for you to come up with an idea."
Wu Xiaoling's words carried a hint of coquettishness. Elder Deng actually walked over and touched her head. He smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for decades. I didn't expect Xiaoling to grow up so much."
This scene was a little bizarre. Elder Deng was not much older than Wu Xiaoling's husband. How could he be so frivolous?
That's just how mortals think. How can a cultivator's age be determined by their appearance? Elder Deng was actually Yan Fengyun and Wu Xiaoling's senior. In the past, he was a person who called Wu Xiaoling's father brother. It could be said that he had watched Wu Xiaoling grow up. Of course he could do that.
Wu Xiaoling said again, "Uncle Deng, you have a lot of ideas. Quickly think of an idea."
Elder Deng actually knew what had happened, but he still joked, "The Paint Sound Devil Sect only accepts disciples once every thirty years. That's a good thing. I heard that they don't accept people who are not beautiful. The Paint Sound Devil Sect's Sect Master, Li Chenwan, Divine Lord, has extraordinary Dharmic powers. He's the Realm Master of this realm. Many people want to enter but can't. "
Yan Fengyun said anxiously, "Our Shuhui is the only child. We can't let her join the Paint Sound Devil Sect. If she joins the Paint Sound Devil Sect, she will cultivate the art of entering a painting. In the future, I don't know if she will be a person or a painting. Elder Deng, you don't want to see our family's bloodline end, right? "
"Cultivators look down on their descendants. Fengyun, it's because you can't see through this that you're stuck at the Core Formation realm, unable to advance," said Elder Deng with a laugh.
Upon hearing what Elder Deng said, Yan Fengyun blushed and stopped talking. Instead, Wu Xiaoling said coquettishly, "Uncle Deng, don't tell me you don't want to help? The Paint Sound Devil Sect has already issued the Realm Master's decree that all women of suitable age in this realm must participate in the selection. We're dying of anxiety. "
Elder Deng nodded and said, "How can I not want to help? Based on my friendship with your father, Wu Buzhi, how can I not do my best for his granddaughter's matter? " Elder Deng patted Wu Xiaoling's head again and said with a smile, "I'm not anxious because this matter is too simple to resolve."
Upon hearing what Elder Deng said, the Yan couple was instantly overjoyed. They hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
Then, Elder Deng said in a low voice, "I heard that when the Paint Sound Devil Sect examines female disciples, the most important test is not the woman's appearance! The Paint Sound Devil Sect has elixirs that can change a person's appearance. As long as she's not too ugly, she can be selected. "
The Yan couple looked at each other and thought to themselves, 'This is not good news.' Even those with average looks could be chosen. His daughter was so beautiful, so she would definitely be chosen.
However, Elder Deng said, "When they examine her, the most important thing is the woman's purity! If she's an impure woman, no matter how beautiful she is, they don't want her … "
"So that's how it is!" Yan Fengyun was startled and immediately understood what Elder Deng meant. He hurriedly said, "Senior Elder Deng means to let my Shuhui and a man …"
Yan Fengyun stopped halfway through his sentence. No parent could say something like asking their daughter to find a man.
Wu Xiaoling also understood and hurriedly shook her head. "No. Let's not talk about Shuhui's pride and arrogance. Even if she's willing, we can't agree. Our Shuhui is a woman from a decent family. How can she do such a disgraceful thing? "
Elder Deng said angrily, "I said to find a man. What I meant was for her to quickly find a husband and get married. Wouldn't that be a happy ending?"
Yan Fengyun hurriedly asked, "Will the Paint Sound Devil Sect vent their anger on us because of this?"
Elder Deng said, "No, they won't. I got this news from Black Robe … from a friend. Not many people know about it. The Paint Sound Devil Sect won't be able to guess that their confidential examination contents have been leaked. Weddings and funerals are human nature. They didn't say that they don't allow anyone to get married, so why would they vent their anger on you? "
Yan Fengyun immediately beamed with joy and nodded. "Senior Elder Deng indeed has a wide circle of friends. A piece of news is equivalent to a million soldiers. This is a good plan."
Wu Xiaoling nodded as well. However, she still said worriedly, "Find a husband? Where can we find one in such a hurry? The Yan Family and the Wu Family have a few young juniors … but Shuhui doesn't like them! Besides, those juniors are in other realms. They won't make it in time even if we inform them! "
Elder Deng twirled his beard and frowned. "This is difficult." He thought for a while and said, "That's right. Why don't we fake a marriage! Find a man to perform the wedding ceremony and pretend to enter the bridal chamber. Wouldn't that work? "
Yan Fengyun said worriedly, "I'm afraid that won't work. If we fake it, we'll still be very innocent. How can the Paint Sound Devil Sect's Elder not see through it?"
