Chapter 2099
2099 Her confession
“Okay, okay, I’ll go. I’ve finally understood that in your eyes, I, Qiu Yuehe, am an outsider. Whether your Zi family lives or dies, it’s no longer my business.” Qiu Yuehe sneered a few times and turned to leave angrily. At the end, she added coldly,”Hmph, don’t think that just because you have some unclear friends, I can help you. I’d like to see who can help your Zi family.” I’ve already promised the Shi family this marriage. If you regret it now, you’ll have to think about it. ”
The atmosphere turned cold, and no one spoke first. After Qiu Yuehe said this, she left in a hurry.
“Ziyin, it’s not that grandfather doesn’t know what you just said. Grandfather also knows what Qiu Yuehe is planning. However, our Zi family has few descendants, and your father and second uncle have never returned. I originally wanted to hand the Zi family over to you, but I don’t need to say much about your aptitude.
The Shi family’s marriage proposal is an opportunity for you, as well as for our Zi family. Shi chenhua’s aptitude is outstanding, so he’ll definitely be chosen by the aristocratic family’s sect residence. As long as you follow him, you might be able to obtain the elixirs of the aristocratic family’s sect residence and break through the sage level barrier. Our Zi family will be saved. ” After a long time, Zi Tianwang finally spoke.
“But, grandfather, I …” Looking at her grandfather’s old and sickly face, Zi Yin’s heart ached, and tears welled up in her eyes.
“There’s no need to say more. Ziyin, grandfather understands your thoughts. Grandfather will not make things difficult for you. The Zi family has been struggling at death’s door for so many years, so let’s just do what we need to do. ” Zi Tianwang let out a long sigh, turned around, and left. His figure was so bleak.
A gentle breeze blew past the treetops, making a rustling sound, somewhat cold in autumn.
Zi Yin sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard. She rested her chin on her hand and no one knew what she was thinking.
“Zi Yin, don’t blame your grandfather. I can see that he’s also helpless.” Ling Chuxi patted Zi Yin on the shoulder and consoled her.
Although she had only been in the heaven domain for a few hours, Ling Chuxi already had a feeling that the heaven domain was not as peaceful as the sect’s sage realm or boundless mountain. It was much more difficult than she had imagined to establish herself here.
“The Qing-Yun realm has been thriving for tens of millions of years. Many well-known families have risen and many have died. The Zi family used to be a third-rank family thousands of years ago, but we have fallen to the ninth-rank now. The great competition will be held in three years. If we can’t stand out, we will be destroyed.
My grandfather had originally placed all his hopes on me, but who knew that my aptitude was limited and I was destined to not be able to advance to Sage level. Thus, he was optimistic about this marriage.
As for my second aunt, she’s only after the Zi family’s properties. If I marry into the Shi family and get some spirit pills to advance to Sage level, it’ll be fine. But if I don’t succeed, the Zi family’s properties will all fall into her hands, and she won’t care about my life or death. ” Zi Yin seemed to be explaining to Ling Chuxi, but she also seemed to be talking to herself.
Only then did Ling Chuxi realize that the aristocratic families in the heaven domain did not refer to the ancient aristocratic families, but were countless. However, this was no surprise. Survival of the fittest was natural. Even the strongest aristocratic family would eventually decline, just like the Gongxi clan in the past. Similarly, there would constantly be experts emerging out of nowhere and creating their own noble family.
