"Is this the family's intention, or just your idea, Second Aunt?" Ding Jingyu asked after hesitating for a long mont.
If it were the family's intention, her struggles would not change the outco.
However, if it was just Ding Minxiu's idea and without the family's authorization, she would have to carefully consider whether to agree.
"It's my idea, and I haven't reported it to the family yet. However... with Jing Ren's talent at this mont, the family will likely arrange a marriage for him within the next one or two hundred years..." Ding Minxiu said.
"If you don't seize this opportunity with Jing Ren, who is like a rising flood dragon, you will regret today's decision when you fade into diocrity in the future," she added.
"Let think about it. I'll try to interact more with Brother Jingren. If I develop favorable feelings, then I'll ask you, Second Aunt, to propose this matter to the family..." Ding Jingyu said, lowering her Qiufu. As she spoke, her delicate fists clenched and then relaxed.

"Little Boulder Technique!"
In the Chiming World, on Green Cloud Peak of the Fire Spirit Sect, Xu Xing's consciousness returned to his true body. He began to attempt the cultivation of this Immortal Technique obtained from the Evergreen Immortal World.
In less than a few days, the Immortal Law imprint of the Little Boulder Technique was engraved in the Sea of Consciousness of Xu Xing's true body, several tis faster than it had been for his other self in the Evergreen Immortal World.
The descent of the Primordial Spirit also has its benefits. At least, when learning Immortal Laws from other worlds, it's much easier than before...
Xu Xing, who had transford into a green millstone, activated the Immortal Law imprint in his mind, ford a hand seal, and reverted to his human form.
News from Earth Dragon.
Xu Xing, who was contemplating the mysteries of the Immortal Law, suddenly felt a communication talisman in his sleeve tremble a few tis. He took out a silver-white mirror from his sleeve and brushed his palm over its surface.
Soon, the image of Huang Longzi appeared in the mirror.
"Old Master, the Su Family of the Heavenly Saber Sect has agreed to let Mu Zilan take refuge with the Heavenly Saber Sect's forces within Kui Star Gate..."
"As agreed, Mu Zilan will beco your slave."
"When it is ti to sign the master-servant contract, we will need to trouble you, Old Master, to co to Heavenly Star Island," Huang Longzi said with a bow.
A Fourth Level Array Master and Nascent Soul slave... Interesting.
A smile touched Xu Xing's lips after he heard this news, and he nodded.
Although Mu Zilan's profession and cultivation wouldn't significantly aid his Dao path, casually acquiring a few slaves of high cultivation was a welco bonus that cost him little. He wouldn't have to give much in return.
"I'll go to Sea Monkey Island in two days. Be mindful of your identity and try not to interact with the Old Ancestor of the Su Family," Xu Xing instructed.
"Yes, Old Master." Huang Longzi nodded.
Xu Xing waved his wide sleeve, severing the silver-white mirror's connection.
With the Little Boulder Technique at hand, my life-preserving capabilities have greatly increased. Exploring the Jade Void Minor World shouldn't be too dangerous.
Xu Xing got up from the couch, contemplating.
The "green stone mill" into which the Little Boulder Technique transford him was no ordinary object, but was akin to the legendary Immortal Treasure of the Evergreen Immortal World, the "Azure Sky Mill."
This mill was suprely yang and unyieldingly firm, utterly indestructible.
Cultivators using the "Little Boulder Technique" to transform into this object would also capture so of its divine essence.
The Dao of Transformation was not rely about changing into the "appearance" of sothing.
If that were all, the Little Boulder Technique would not be listed as one of Mount Wanshou's minor Immortal Techniques.
According to Xu Xing's estimation, if he used this technique at his Nascent Soul Realm to transform into the "Azure Sky Mill," he should be able to withstand attacks from at least a Half-step Void Cultivation expert.
After all, the object in the Jade Void Minor World might be an Immortal Relic...
Xu Xing's eyes flickered for a few monts.
...
...
Two days later, Xu Xing, having altered his appearance, arrived at Sea Monkey Island. He took over from Earth Dragon and went to the Su Family in the guise of "Huang Longzi."
The Old Ancestor of the Su Family had played a significant role in Mu Zilan's acceptance into the Heavenly Saber Sect's forces within Kui Star Gate.
Therefore, it was only right and proper for Xu Xing to co and express his gratitude.
Seeing the small gift Xu Xing presented, the Old Ancestor of the Su Family was instantly gratified. A smile touched his eyes as he thought to himself, This Xu Xing is a man who understands propriety.
"Ordinarily, our Heavenly Saber Sect should not interfere in the affairs of Kui Star Gate."
"However, this was the first ti Friend Huanglong asked our Sect for assistance, so we could not simply ignore his request," the Old Ancestor of the Su Family said, choosing his words carefully.
It might have seed like a simple matter to have Mu Zilan switch allegiance to the Heavenly Saber Sect's faction within Kui Star Gate.
In reality, the Heavenly Saber Sect had expended considerable effort to make it happen. In so respects, they had to concede significant benefits to Kui Star Gate.
After all, the alignnts of the various sects are extrely sensitive matters. Crossing such lines inevitably incurs a corresponding cost.
"I understand. I will take this kindness to heart and shall surely repay it in the future," Xu Xing replied with a nod.
As the Butian Sect Master, he certainly knew the price of balancing internal disputes. However... such costs were often trivial when weighed against the value of a favor from Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. The true rulers of the Day Sky Ocean Region were the Refining Void Immortals and the Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs of the various sects; other cultivators were rely their 'wealth.' Dao Lords are easy to co by, but Sage Monarchs are rare—this was a well-known truth.
"You are too polite, Daoist friend."
The Old Ancestor of the Su Family, seeing Xu Xing's assurance, smiled and ordered the maids in the hall to serve tea.
"The reason our Heavenly Saber Sect moved so quickly to approve assisting Friend Huanglong this ti," the Old Ancestor of the Su Family said candidly, "was not only because we value Friend Huanglong, but also due to another matter..."
"What matter?" Xu Xing frowned.
Favors typically involve reciprocity, a give and take. However, it's generally considered poor form to imdiately pressure soone for a return favor right after helping them.
