Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains Chapter 893: 388. Wuji's Growth, New Moon Cult2

In teaching his son, Old Fifth indeed surpasses him!

Next, it's about Zhao Qingxue.

The alliance of marriage proposals from the Great Jin and Hedong's three families is rely to insert their people into the Hou Clan under a legitimate pretense, in order to spy or infiltrate. Judging from this, could Zhao Qingxue still be soone from the Ziqing Holy Sect...

Hou Yuxiao shook his head abruptly. Considering the long years they spent together in the Five Elents Heaven, he and Zhao Qingxue beca husband and wife, living day and night together for over forty or fifty years. If he were still to doubt his wife, that would be unreasonable.

Moreover, Qingxue even bore him a son, Wuji.

Although seeing his son sensible enough to want to share the family's burden brought him comfort, in his heart, Hou Yuxiao never wished to see his son get involved in such major matters. Over the years, it appeared as if he was in control, holding all the cards. But as the Hou Clan developed up to now, each step was like dancing on the edge of a blade, the whole clan teetering between life and death.

Double-dealing, betrayal, deception, and intrigue.

Even now, regarding his own companion...

All these things are too exhausting!

If possible, he hoped his descendants could live out a full life in peace and not be like him.

Huff...…

Hou Yuxiao exhaled gently, looked up at Hou Yucheng and Hou Yujie, who were slowly approaching from outside the palace, and flashed a slight smile, softly asking, "Old Fifth, have you explained everything to them?"

"Elder Brother, we know everything."

"Then, what do you think?"

Hou Yuxiao first asked the question and, seeing them about to answer imdiately, he quickly gestured for them to wait, saying solemnly, "I can guess that Old Fifth has probably briefed you in advance so as not to offend the Great Jin and the Three Holy Lands of Hedong, letting you agree to the alliance. What I have to say is this: we really can't afford to offend the Great Jin and the three families of Hedong, but regarding this alliance of marriage..."

At this point, Hou Yuxiao paused, then continued:

"As long as you don't want it, I have a way to resolve it!"

When Hou Yuduan volunteered to inform the two, Hou Yuxiao knew what he was planning, which was rely to explain the pros and cons, persuading them to accept the marriage alliance.

To be honest, agreeing to the marriage alliance is indeed the best choice.

Even Hou Yuxiao couldn't argue against it.

But the problem is, seeing his two younger brothers being pressured to marry was sothing Hou Yuxiao couldn't accept at all. How many tis had he pretended to be subservient, gone through countless life and death crises, leading the Hou Clan to defeat so many enemies, developing to the point where they could now challenge the major Holy Lands — all for what?

Isn't it for the survival and freedom of the clansn?

Even the major event of his younger brothers getting married can't be decided by themselves, so what's the point of the Hou Clan's developnt?

Today, it's his younger brothers being forced to marry, what if one day soone forces him to marry off his third sister, does he also agree?

Therefore, Hou Yuxiao had to adhere to this principle: as long as Hou Yucheng and Hou Yujie didn't wish to marry, he would resist, even knowing it might go against the interests of Hexi and hinder the family's developnt.

Perhaps sensing Hou Yuxiao's determined gaze, a slight emotion flickered across Hou Yucheng and Hou Yujie's faces, but they quickly concealed it.

"Elder Brother, why not take a wife at no cost?"

"Mine's even a princess, a Great Jin princess, probably countless people would want to marry her. Don't they say I take after Princess Mu Changping in terms of beauty and grace? I might as well take advantage of it, marrying for nothing is better than not marrying."

Their jest filled responses left Hou Yuxiao montarily stunned, but he quickly adjusted his emotions, gently shaking his head.

"You must think it through, the Great Jin and Hedong clearly plan to send people over to monitor us. Since they're sending these two won, it proves they have unique qualities. When the ti cos, internal discord in the house might beco a headache for you."

"Discord, she dares!"

Hou Yucheng glared, raising his hand in a mock position to hit.

Hou Yujie chuckled twice, saying, "Mine's a princess after all, I still have to leave the Great Jin so face. Don't worry, Elder Brother, if she really dares to wreak havoc in Hexi, I'll have my ways to deal with it."

As his persuasion t no success, Hou Yuxiao didn't press further, simply waving them off, saying, "If that's the case, then go find Wanyan Cheng and Jing Tianyu separately. Decide what date, all of it will be up to you to settle with both sides. Let Old Fifth know what you need."

"Understood, Elder Brother!"

Both of them answered, cupping their hands in amused agreent, casually deciding their marriages, looking much happier than Hou Yuxiao.

New Yu Era 1332, September 15th, Zishi

Huangfu Xing left Xiaqiu City with Zhantai Wuyuan, heading westward flying toward Yongdu City.

Seeing Zhantai Wuyuan remain silent, Huangfu Xing chuckled and asked, "Hasn't the Saint Heir defeated those two youngsters of the Hou Clan? Why the gloomy face?"

Upon hearing this, Zhantai Wuyuan frowned, a trace of arrogance flashing on his face as he said, "Those two brats are nothing, it's Hou Yuxiao I need to defeat. I thought after cultivating for so many years in my aunt's Five Elents Heaven, even if my cultivation couldn't match Hou Yuxiao's, at least I wouldn't be as powerless in front of him as before, but... I didn't expect..."

Huangfu Xing showed a hint of surprise on his face, but after thinking for a mont, he softly comforted, "That Hou Yuxiao has reached the Sub-Saint Realm of Martial Arts, judging by his cultivation, he might not even be inferior to . Although the Saint Heir is exceptionally talented, it has only been a short period of cultivation, currently only at the Master Third Realm. A Grandmaster wishing to stand against a Sub-Saint, it's inherently impossible, do not concern yourself."

He paused, then continued, "As long as the Saint Heir cultivates diligently, one day... you will surely be able to defeat Hou Yuxiao."

Zhantai Wuyuan was very keen. He imdiately sensed the uncertainty in Huangfu Xing's last tone and frowned, asking, "Elder Huangfu, don't you believe in ?"

A flicker of hesitation crossed Huangfu Xing's eyes, and he gently said, "To be honest with the Saint Heir, that Hou Yuxiao... well, the Hou Clan of Hexi, all five of them possess remarkable aptitudes. Eight years ago, this old man had seen Hou Yuxiao, would the Saint Heir care to guess what his cultivation was back then?"

Eight years ago...

Zhantai Wuyuan's brows furrowed. He calculated based on his own cultivation and then ventured a guess, "Yinyang Boundary?"

Huangfu Xing shook his head.

"Yuan Dan Realm?"

"Grandmaster Realm, and not just any, but a First Realm Grandmaster!"

Zhantai Wuyuan's face instantly filled with astonishnt, incredulously saying, "Grandmaster Realm, how could that be?"

In just eight years, from the Grandmaster Realm to Sub-Saint of Martial Dao!

He knew about the Five Elents Heaven, but the issue was, Hou Yuxiao only acquired it last year. Before he acquired the Five Elents Heaven, he already possessed the strength of a Sub-Saint in Martial Dao.

"Saint Heir, one must rember that there is always a sky beyond the sky, a man beyond a man. Not to ntion Hou Yuxiao, speaking nearer, our Sect Hierarch at your age already had...the strength of a Saint!"

At the ntion of "Sect Hierarch," a look of respect and admiration filled Zhantai Wuyuan's eyes, even forgetting the amazent at Hou Yuxiao's talent monts ago, nodding in agreent, "Aunt's prowess is indeed unprecedented and unparalleled, though I'm confident in myself, I dare not compare with Aunt. But this Hou Yuxiao's talent reaching such heights is indeed surprising."

"Nevertheless, the Saint Heir needn't be discouraged. With the Sect Hierarch's support, as long as the Saint Heir remains humble and diligent in cultivation, surpassing Hou Yuxiao isn't impossible. Besides, even if Hou Yuxiao has so talent, Hexi is fundantally weak. Should any Holy Land target him, whether he can survive is a question. Ti, after all, is on the Saint Heir's side."

Hearing this, Zhantai Wuyuan's expression imdiately improved.

Compared to Hou Yuxiao, he indeed had more advantages.

"By the way, is Aunt coming back from Bingzhou?"

"On the fifteenth of next month, the Sect Hierarch will return to Yongdu with the Bingzhou army. The amalgamation of the two sects, and with the ergence of the New Moon Cult, it will surely astonish the world!"
