The Otherworldly God

Three people sat on the ground with a low table in the middle. Each of them had a cup of tea in front of them and a plate of peanuts in the middle.

As usual, Yaoyao suddenly became interested and asked, "By the way, do you want to guess who is so lucky to be Xin'er's husband?"

Yaoyao ate peanuts while waiting to hear what they thought.

Qin Chu shook his head and said, "It's hard to guess, anyone could be the one. Yun Xiu, have you heard any rumors?"

Yun Xiu put down the peanuts in her hand, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, then slowly said: "It's nothing, the master and the mistress haven't decided yet, and it's hard to decide. If I agree to any family, I will have to offend the other families, and I will offend many people anyway."

"But there is only one Xin'er, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone."

"Yaoyao, what you said makes sense, but some people are unreasonable. Believe it or not, if Xin'er married into another family, this family would definitely unite and ask you two, as the eldest and second sisters, to compete again. It's impossible for everyone to be satisfied, so we can only consider making the majority of people convinced. So we have to think of a fairer way to let them compete once, and the winner will be beautiful and the loser will be convinced."

"It feels like we can't escape anyway. It's really unpleasant to think about it. Anyway, there's no way I'm going to marry a Taoist."

Qin Chu meant the same thing. Not to mention that their identities were not suitable, he also had no such plan.

"A fair method? It's easy to say, but it's too hard to find. If it's too easy, there's no point in comparing it. If it's too hard, if someone gets hurt, it's just a mess. It's not easy to find the right method."

Yun Xiu naturally understood what Qin Chu was worried about, so she frowned in embarrassment. After thinking about it, it would be better not to leave the mountain, and staying in Penglai would be quite good.

"Oh, what's the big deal? We are the ones who are choosing the son-in-law, why do we have to act according to other people's wishes? In my opinion, Gongsun Shouli is good. With the big name of Gongsun, others dare not say anything nonsense."

"It is precisely because of the big name of Gongsun that it is not suitable for young lady. Think about it, if young lady marries into the Gongsun family, I have to go with her, right? Shui Jing has to go with her, right? I don't think the Gongsun family won't have any ideas about Shui Jing."

"We can just take it secretly. Do we have to tell everyone how much dowry we bring when we get married?"

Yunxiu still shook her head and rejected Yaoyao's proposal.

"Gongsun has a close relationship with that man, so he is indeed not suitable. I heard that the young man from Lezheng is not bad, and Lezheng also wants to form a marriage alliance."

Although Qin Chu didn't say it explicitly, Yun Xiu could guess who it was. After all, she had seen the guest list and had some understanding of some of the possible candidates in advance.

"He is considered Le Zheng's eldest disciple, Le Zheng Hongjun, and Le Zheng Qin's apprentice. He is a good person, but he himself does not have any ideas. If the young lady marries him, she will treat him with respect."

"I think Le Zheng is planning to marry him to us. If we agree, it's fine. As for the others, I think the young master of the Zhang family is not bad either."

"Zhang Huizhi is 26 years old this year, ten years older than the young lady, but this is not the main problem. You should also know that the Taoists of the Taoist Alliance will get married early, especially the heirs of large families. On the one hand, they are worried about accidents during missions, and mainly to ensure offspring. Young Master Zhang is already 26 years old and has not yet married. The master is worried that there are some unknown reasons."

Seeing that they had been discussing for a long time without any result, Yaoyao put down the peanuts and clapped her hands.

"This one won't work, that one won't work. In my opinion, it's better to marry someone familiar than someone new. Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Yuhua are both good choices with good character and good family background."

After hearing what Yaoyao said, both of them were silent for a moment.

"Master Yuhua is the son of destiny in the prophecy. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous to put the two of them together? As for Master Qiming, it seems that he has no intention of starting a family for the time being."

Qin Chu saw this from Le Zheng and Shui Ling's matchmaking several times.

"Le Zheng is in Jimen Pass, which is located in a remote place and has rarely communicated with the outside world. The Jimen Pass barrier is also ranked among the strongest, and it is a good hiding place. But now, I have to get involved with Le Zheng, and I can't do it."

"Are you afraid of harming Le Zheng again?"

"They have been implicated once, and were banished from Taiyin Mountain to Jimen Pass. Until now, they have been unable to return to their hometown. How can I bear it?"

Yun Xiu sighed.

"Oh, this won't work, why not just let Xin'er figure out who her future husband will be, then she'll know right away, right?"

"If everything counts, life would be too boring."

Mu Xin opened her eyes, turned over and looked at them. Yaoyao immediately ran to her, saw that her face was red and sweaty, and wiped the sweat off her face and fanned her.

"Did it wake you up?"

"No. It's really too hot today. Even I, who usually have a cold body, feel hot."

"This is not like the Four Seasons Forest in Penglai. Although it has the scenery of the four seasons, it is warm like spring. And today is the fifth day of May, the hottest day. I'll get you some ice." Qin Chu pulled her. Yun Xiu felt strange at first, but suddenly she smiled, patted her head and said, "I forgot."

"It takes time for ice to cool down."

As he spoke, Qin Chu waved his hand, and a light snow began to fall in the house. The temperature dropped quickly, but the snow disappeared as soon as it hit the ground instead of melting into water.

Yunxiu brought a small blanket, Yaoyao put down the fan and stepped aside, helping her cover Mu Xin's legs and abdomen.

"You're all sweaty, aren't you? How about getting up and changing into clean clothes?"

"Let me lie down for a while." Mu Xin reached out and caught a snowflake. The snowflake danced in her hand for a while, then disappeared. She put down her hand and said, "My life has not been so good since I left you."

"But Xin'er, you have to leave. We have been targeted, so we had no choice but to leave Four Seasons Forest and Penglai and hide in this Painted City. As long as you stay with us, it is only a matter of time before you are discovered, and what we lack is time. Therefore, the master and his wife came up with this idea, to marry you off, so that other families can protect you legitimately. Even if something happens to us, you will not be implicated without spiritual power."

"I understand the reason, but I can't bear it, and I'm afraid if something happens to you, I won't be able to help it."

"Xin'er is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration. We must not..." Qin Chu turned away. She did not want to be separated from her. This was a helpless move. She wiped away the tears in her eyes, then turned around with a smile and said, "So, we must find a husband that suits Xin'er."
