Chu Yunxi? Marriage proposal?
Long Chen was so shocked that he couldn’t stop himself from blurting, “Isn’t Chu Yunxi eighteen? He’s proposing to Liu Lan? Not Liu Ling?”
Long Chen thought Liu Yuan had the wrong name.
“That’s right. It’s Lan’er. Yunxi has liked Lan’er for quite some time, and this is well-known too. It’s not surprising that you didn’t know, seeing as you’ve only recently joined the Lingwu family.”
Long Chen was privately disapproving of this, though when he recalled Liu Lan’s seductive looks, he knew that he would’ve been tempted by her if he didn’t have Ling Xi with him.
“Sigh. Lan’er is probably going to marry into the Turquoise Imperial Hall soon. However, if Chu Yunxi enters the inner family, Lan’er’s status will also rise together with his ...” Liu Yuan remarked wistfully.
She’s so beautiful! It’s such a waste, like giving a beautiful head of cabbage to a pig! Long Chen cursed privately.
When Liu Yuan saw that Long Chen was silent, as if uninterested in the topic, he said, “In that case, you may return. Work hard to cultivate this Beast Soul.”
“Sect Elder, you mentioned that I’ll be on the same team as Chu Yunxi. What did you mean by that?” Long Chen hadn’t forgotten about this.
“The inner family’s qualifiers are the same as the outer family qualifiers with two rounds. One of the rounds places participants in teams of two to compete against other teams. Since you and Chu Yunxi are from the Turquoise family, you two will make a team. I’ll tell you the specific details later. We aren’t yet sure if past rules will be changed.”
Long Chen nodded, bade him farewell, and returned to his quarters.
Once they were home, Ling Xi emerged from the sword. She looked extremely happy, strolling around as she wrinkled her delicate nose and hummed a tune.
“Xiao Xi, why are you in such a good mood?”
“I’m not telling you! Hmph ...”
Long Chen smirked. “It’s not because the beautiful Liu Lan is getting married, is it?”
Ling Xi was surprised. “How did you know? Hmph, she’s always trying to get her hands on you. She needs to get married!”
“Uh...”
Long Chen already had Ling Xi figured out a long time ago. “Do you think I have a chance at the inner family qualifiers?” He sat down in the underground room.
“Of course! Don’t we have plenty of time? You’re only at the Human Core Realm, the bottommost level of cultivation. But cultivation is a very quick process. I barely put any effort into cultivation before, yet I easily entered the Heavenly Core Realm.”
Long Chen was secretly startled by how nonchalant she was. This girl’s status must’ve been extremely high since young. She doesn’t know the suffering that peasants like us go through ...
Ling Xi had finished cultivating the Soul Grass, so she was in peak form. She was very energetic and kept running around all the time. Long Chen let her off to play on her own.
Gan Lin didn’t know either. He shook his head and said, “You should go meet her at her residence first. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be going.”
Long Chen was left puzzled, so he said to Ling Xi, “Ling Xi, we’ll go visit the beautiful Liu Lan first.”
“That’s strange. Why does that smelly woman want you to come to her?” Ling Xi cocked her head in annoyance.
“Whatever, we’ll just have to see what she has to say.”
“I’m not going.” Controlling the Ling Xi Sword, she left Long Chen’s ear. “I don’t want to see her, so you go on your own. I’ll stay in the house. Just come back when you’re done.”
Whoosh! Ling Xi disappeared. Exasperated, Long Chen closed the door and headed to Liu Lan’s residence, which was the center of the Turquoise Willow Residence.

Within the Turquoise Sun Hall, Liu Yuan was sitting in the main chair on the left of the room. In front of him were the four Elders and four Administrators, though Liu Lan was not present.
On the other chair on the right side of the room was a tall, muscular middle-aged man whose gaze was deep and moved with great power. Sitting in front of him was a teenager with clean features and a reserved power within him.
The middle-aged man was Chu Fengqing, who was the Sect Elder of the Turquoise Imperial Hall, also the Turquoise family’s most powerful hall. Next to him was naturally his son, Chu Yunxi, also known as the Turquoise family’s number one prodigy. Chu Yunxi looked quite different from Chu Fengqing, though similar to his younger sister, Chu Yunyao.
These two were here for their marriage proposal. “Yunxi has been ambitious since young. He was never willing to fall behind, so he has always been ahead of everyone else since he started cultivating. Now, he has obtained the right to participate in the inner family qualifiers. He’s considered an outstanding young prodigy by the outer families.”
Chu Fengqing did not even attempt to be humble, bragging openly about his son.
Liu Yuan chuckled and turned to look at Chu Yunxi. “May I ask how confident Yunxi is in the inner family qualifiers?”
Chu Yunxi thought for a while, then he answered politely, “Uncle Liu, I’ll say that I’m fifty percent confident. I’m very familiar with the other participants, and I know that Jin Shengen will definitely get one spot. As for the other spot, I have some hope.”
When Chu Fengqing heard Jin Shengen’s name, he said wistfully, “That little prince of the Gold family is indeed impressive. He’s the best amongst the outer family’s youths.”
Liu Yuan nodded in defeat too. “He is indeed impressive.”
“That reminds me. Didn’t Liu Lan almost pass when she participated in the inner family qualifiers years ago?” asked Chu Fengqing mildly.
“Brother Chu, you have over-complimented Lan’er. Although she was at the mid Earthly Core Realm, she wasn’t as powerful as the others and was disqualified in the first round. She didn’t come anywhere near ‘almost’ passing.”
Listening to their conversation, Chu Yunxi’s brows were knitted, and he said, “Uncle Liu, I will definitely help fulfill Sister Lan’s wish!”
Liu Yuan genuinely admired this teenager and approved of him marrying Liu Lan. It was just that she was a little too stubborn. “Lan’er has been on Xi’er’s mind for a long time now. Brother Liu, I think the deal is sealed just based on the deep feelings he has for her. What do you think?”
Liu Yuan smiled bitterly. “Naturally, I agree, seeing as I approve of Yunxi too. However, Lan’er hasn’t arrived yet, so let’s wait till she’s present for the final decision. Would that be alright?”
At this moment, a young cultivator knocked on the door and entered, saying reverently, “Sect Elder, Administrator Liu requests that Young Master Yunxi heads to the Turquoise Willow Residence.”
Chu Yunxi got up from his seat.
