Chapter 251: Xuanyun Sect’s Poor Judgment

Chapter 251: Xuanyun Sect’s Poor Judgment

Sure enough, there’s an embarrassing topic you can’t escape in any world or era.

Marriage—when are you going to find a partner?

Thinking about my current age of seventeen, even at the peak of the demon path at twenty-two,

In the real world, by twenty-two, you’d be pushed into marriage!

But this Spiritual Realm has a style reminiscent of ancient China, naturally adhering to ancient marriage customs.

Here I am, an illustrious villain, being pressured to marry?

At seventeen, there are even kids! Lin Nuo, the big single nobleman, is practically a lifelong bachelor now.

Lin Nuo replied nonchalantly,


“Grandchildren? Soon, soon, no need to set me up with girls.”

After all, setting me up with girls usually ends up in failure—too tall to aspire, too low to succeed. He might be of the Lin family, but his status was lowly, meaning any marriage would surely reflect on the Lin family.

Any girl his mother introduced would definitely not meet the Lin family’s standards—complete nonsense. Might as well go enjoy some cold drinks and nibble on Meat Floss Cake!

“Soon? Whose girl is it? When will you bring her back for me to see?”

“If the chance arises, you’ll definitely see her.”

“Nuo’er, my greatest wish is for you to find a lovely girl and build a happy family. Of course, lots of grandchildren too!”

“It will happen. I suggest you move out, makes it easier to meet.”

“Nuo’er, don’t tease your mother! I’m really looking forward to meeting my future daughter-in-law!”

Xia Hanmo continued to tirelessly persuade, making Lin Nuo’s ears itch.

Alright, alright, enough already! Once I achieve my goals as a villain, I’ll get to it.

“Madam, madam~ What requirements do you have for a daughter-in-law~?”

Ruo’er, ears and tail wagging, was filled with curiosity.

Yeah, this is important intel! To become the young master’s wife, one must pass the madam’s test!

But her lowly status made it tough to enter the Lin family.

Looking at Ruo’er’s cute and charming face, Xia Hanmo softly said,


“Oh, I don’t have many requirements. As long as Nuo’er likes her, that’s fine. But I certainly hope she can take good care of Nuo’er; after all, he’s an excellent child and naturally needs a virtuous helper.”

“Oh, a virtuous helper~”

Ruo’er thought about how she had served the young master for years, being the only maid by his side. Even if she were to venture into Zifeng Valley to pursue immortality, she hoped to still serve him.

So if anyone fit as a virtuous helper for the young master, she was the best choice—who knows him better than she does?

But her identity was still too lowly—a mere maid. Even if the Lin family agreed, she’d just embarrass the young master.

Yet she was hopeful, having embarked on the path to immortality. As long as she diligently practiced, broke through rapidly, descended to the mortal realm to slay demons and establish merit, her reputation would rise, making her suitable for the young master!

Immortals, surely the Lin family would accept her!

Of course, at this point, Su Kexin was also calculating her own plans.

To aim to become the young madam in the future, she’d need to win Xia Hanmo’s favor—the key was to stroke her vanity.

After all, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships are crucial.

The senior martial brother seems high and mighty, but it’s clear he’s quite gentle with his mother.

A filial senior brother must be even more handsome!

Lin Nuo refuted, “Not true, I’m not at all great; no one would want me.”

“Well, that’s not certain! Nuo’er must have countless girls pursuing him; it’s definitely you being too picky.”

“Not true! I’ve been rejected by all kinds of noble young ladies; you know that!”

“Oh, please! Times have changed, and they’re the ones with bad eyesight—now that Nuo’er has grown stronger, they must be regretting it!”

Xia Hanmo kept praising Lin Nuo; in her eyes, her son was the best. Any girl not doing so was simply blind and ungrateful.

The noble young ladies who rejected him were just a thing of the past; he had tried for an arranged marriage before with some prestigious families, but they turned him down, even making him sulk for days.

Looking back now, he realized how foolish he was, feeling sad over those flashy girls!

Such an innocent boy—how silly!

Despite the joy, Lin Nuo felt conflicted within about Xia Hanmo.

He wanted to see her but didn’t want to endure the nagging that felt like Sun Wukong with a tightening headband—it was just too uncomfortable!

“You all keep talking with my mother; I have something to take care of first,” he quickly declared, slipping away.

“Nuo’er! Hey, this child, can’t you just chat with your mother a bit longer?”

Xia Hanmo sighed, lamenting how her son always dashed off after just a few words.

“Madam, your son actually is quite busy! Upon returning, he’ll have to deal with all sorts of social events,” Su Kexin chimed in, moving slightly closer to Xia Hanmo, noticing the embroidered flowers in her hands.

“Your embroidery is beautiful, Madam! You truly have great skill.”

“Oh, it’s nothing, Miss Su; just basic embroidery.”

“Don’t be humble, Madam! I think it looks great! Can you teach me? I’d love to learn.”

“Sure, but it’s a bit tedious and requires patience.”

“I want to learn too~ I want to learn too~”

Ruo’er squeezed in closer, wanting to stick to the madam and be as virtuous as her.

“Alright, you want to learn, I’ll happily teach you both.”

Xia Hanmo felt warm-hearted; having two new students made the atmosphere lively again.

Liveliness is wonderful; she enjoys a bustling environment but dislikes being isolated amidst the excitement.

These two little girls seem fantastic!

……

In the Lin residence, a girl with twin ponytails entered.

The girl held a slender sword, looking quite spirited as she strode through the corridor.

“Miss, welcome back~!”

“Greetings, Miss~!”

The servants along the path respectfully greeted the girl, who just nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

With the grand celebration for the Lin family approaching, as a young member of the Lin family, she naturally had to return.

The girl named Lin Qian was Lin Nuo’s half-sister, ranked sixth, and like Lin Nuo, she had previously entered a sect and was also a cultivator.

Younger than Lin Nuo, she was more gifted and incredibly hardworking. Having secluded herself for half a year for advancement, completely cut off from the outside world, she had reached level five of the Spiritual Realm and was expected to break into level six soon enough.

“Father, I’m back!”

She encountered Lin Yuan, respectfully greeting him.

“Oh, oh, Qian’er’s back! How was your training?” Lin Yuan asked with concern.

“After half a year of seclusion, I’ve made some progress, but there’s a long way to go.”

“Haha, no rush, you’re still young; plenty of opportunities ahead. Speaking of which, your third brother Lin Nuo just returned as well.”

“He’s back too?”

Mentioning Lin Nuo ignited frustration in Lin Qian’s heart.

She was definitely more talented than Lin Nuo, yet he was accepted into Xuanyun Sect while she was left out.

Before her seclusion, she knew Lin Nuo was only at level two—absolutely useless. After six months, he certainly hadn’t improved much.

The eyes of Xuanyun Sect really are poor!
