Chapter 561: Chen Changsheng as the Matchmaker, Two Maids’ Planning
Upon receiving this answer, Ma Ling’er frowned.
“What about the Netherworld?”
“Have you ever been to the Netherworld?”
“I went there, and not only did I go, but I also did so under the names of my mother and father.”
“In order to see the Book of Life and d*ath, I said all the right things and used up all my connections.”
“Only then was I able to barely glimpse the Book of Life and d*ath. Guess what I saw?”
“What did you see?”
Ma Ling’er’s tone became more urgent.
Seeing this, Xu Yao sighed helplessly and said, “I saw over twenty thousand ‘Chen Changshengs.'”
“Over twenty thousand?”
“Yes, I reached out to Meng Po in the Netherworld.”
“At that time, I was also shocked by the result, which led to Meng Po blaming me.”
“She said the Book of Life and d*ath records over ninety-five percent of the living beings in the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains, with a number that is astronomical, and countless names like cattle hooves.”
“We don’t know their birth dates or exact strength levels, so just running to the Netherworld to look for someone is sheer nonsense.”
Hearing this, Ma Ling’er said, “This Chen Changsheng must have an extraordinary background, his strength shouldn’t be low either.”
“Haven’t you asked her to sort them by strength?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yao fell silent, “The Netherworld isn’t my family business. Being able to see the Book of Life and d*ath is already good enough, let alone making demands.”
“If not for the help I’ve given the Netherworld, I wouldn’t even be able to enter its gates.”
“Also, don’t just ask me. Have you asked your father?”
Facing Xu Yao’s words, Ma Ling’er nodded and said, “I asked him. His response was, ‘No one can stir trouble at the Sword Qi Great Wall, and I will keep an eye on this Chen Changsheng.'”
Speaking, Ma Ling’er paused and then looked at Xu Yao.
“Xu Yao, our tracks have always been top secret, yet this time we were ambushed on the way to the Sword Qi Great Wall.”
“This Chen Changsheng happened to appear at the scene. Don’t you think this is too coincidental?”
Hearing this, Xu Yao narrowed her eyes and said, “You mean to say that this Chen Changsheng might have something fishy.”
“It can’t be ruled out. Whether he has something fishy or not, we’ll find out by trying.”
Xu Yao and Ma Ling’er were secretly plotting something when they didn’t notice that their communication device was still “working.”
…
At a certain place in the Sword Qi Great Wall.
A light screen was filled with many small squares, each containing a face.
If Xu Yao and Ma Ling’er were here, they would discover that these people were those they had previously inquired about.
“Tsk tsk!”
“Hu Yan, your girl is quite capable!”
“From the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains to the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld, she has connections everywhere. If not for my meticulous planning, I almost slipped up.”
Hearing this, Hu Yan smiled and said, “My girl is a bit mischievous, let the young master overlook it.”
“I’ve also heard their plan. Should I give them some advice so they don’t interfere with the young master’s plan?”
“No need!”
Chen Changsheng directly refused Hu Yan’s suggestion.
“Let them do whatever they want. No one should interfere.”
“The Savaged Wilderness has already extended its reach into the Sword Qi Great Wall. You hold high positions; any slight movement could make the Savaged Wilderness retreat.”
“But what these little ones do won’t attract the attention of the Savaged Wilderness.”
“They are variables in this chess game, and I want to use these variables to uncover some people.”
“Moreover, your focus should be on the expedition three years later. That is truly important.”
“Yes, sir!”

Setting
Traditional Simplified
After saying this, everyone gradually ended their video calls.
But Hu Yan’s video call remained open. Looking at the hesitant Hu Yan, Chen Changsheng said calmly.
“Xu Yao is quite good at handling situations. I’m likely going to take her out with me.”
“If you’re worried about her, I can keep her from going.”
After listening, Hu Yan smiled slightly and said, “Life and d*ath are predestined, wealth and honor are in heaven’s hands. This applies to all cultivators, regardless of who their daughters are.”
“Back then, our elders made decisions for us, leading to many heart-wrenching events.”
“Now that we are parents ourselves, how can we repeat the same mistakes?”
“Just tell her the risks involved beforehand, and let her choose for herself.”
“She is my daughter, and I understand her. She won’t make a choice that she will regret.”
“Alright.”
Chen Changsheng nodded and looked at Hu Yan, saying, “It seems you aren’t taking this matter too seriously, so what exactly do you want to say?”
“It’s not a big deal. My girl has also reached a suitable age. Can the young master help her find some suitable candidates?”
“Not really, I…”
“Young Master!”
Hu Yan interrupted Chen Changsheng and said, “Young Master, raising a child makes one appreciate the grace of one’s own mother.”
“Back then, the elders of the clan decided everything for me and Xu Hu early on, and initially, I had some complaints.”
“But later, I realized they were right.”
“Hua Feng and Qian Ya are two rare women in the world, yet they remain single. From the current situation, it seems they will continue to be so.”
“My girl has decent talent, and her future prospects won’t be low. I don’t want her to live alone.”
Facing Hu Yan’s words, Chen Changsheng’s mouth twitched as he said, “Living alone isn’t necessarily bad. I’m living alone too!”
“My girl can’t compare to you, Young Master. How many red beauties surround you? You should know.”
“Furthermore, you’re also concerned about Chen Xiang and Yin Qi.”
“Their relationship with you doesn’t need much explanation, but our Xu Hu is also someone you value, having fought battles for you.”
“Moreover, the World’s No. 1 Spring also has a connection with you. There’s no reason for you to care about them but not Xu Yao.”
“I…”
Chen Changsheng’s words got stuck in his throat and he couldn’t speak. Eventually, he could only raise his thumb and say.
“Becoming a wife and a mother changes things. You weren’t so eloquent before.”
“I can’t understand why you insist on asking me, someone without family ties, to do this.”
“There’s no other way. Who asked you to be the world’s first connoisseur?”
“Anyone chosen by you is a dragon among men, and as a parent, I ultimately hope she marries someone outstanding.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng was completely speechless.
“Fine, I’ll help her look, but I can’t guarantee they will like each other.”
“Additionally, there are none in the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains right now. If there were, we would have met them already.”
“We can try outside.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Yan immediately smiled brightly, “It’s fine, our family doesn’t care about social status.”
“Currently, if that man could be handsome, charming, smart, humorous, knowledgeable, responsible, and strong, that would be perfect.”
“Also, he shouldn’t have too many red beauties around him. My girl has a simple heart, and she can’t handle someone like you.”
“But you shouldn’t find someone too smart either. Too smart people tend to be cold-blooded.”
“Also, men should take care of their families. Those who don’t shouldn’t be considered.”
Chen Changsheng: “…”
How can I find someone like that for you? Even the Emperor Huangtian wouldn’t qualify.
Such requirements, even the Forbidden Ground would have to step back.
