308: Acting, brother

"Xuan'er, Yu'er, Xin'er, good names."

Xu Sanyan praised, though he didn't really know what was good about them.

"Tell me about the Wang Family's situation." He planted demon seeds in the three women, naturally not just for temporary pleasure, but because he intended to hide within the Wang Family and needed to understand the situation beforehand.

Wang Zixuan felt as if the man before her possessed a magical power; as long as he spoke, she found it difficult to refuse his requests. A thought constantly swayed her mind.

"Hmm... Mr. Lin, what kind of information do you want?"

"Tell me everything, in detail."

"Okay."

The demon seed had only recently been planted, and Wang Zixuan still harbored some resistance in her heart, but the disparity in their cultivation was too great, causing this trace of resistance to quickly vanish.

"The Wang Family's Old Ancestor entered Luan Yun Mountain three thousand years ago. After seven generations of Legacy, the Wang Family as it is today was finally established under the leadership of the eighth-generation Old Ancestor."

"Is your Wang Family's eighth-generation Old Ancestor still alive?" Xu Sanyan asked.

"Probably... still alive." Wang Zixuan was also a bit uncertain.

"Probably?"

Xu Sanyan frowned. As a member of the Wang Family, she didn't even know if her Clan's Old Ancestor was alive?

"The Old Ancestor hasn't appeared for a very long time. It's said that the last time he appeared was three hundred years ago, and I wasn't even born then..."

Xu Sanyan nodded and continued to ask, "Who is the highest-cultivated person in your Wang Family?"

"If the Old Ancestor is alive, then it's naturally him. It's said that when the Old Ancestor last made a move three hundred years ago, he was already at He Dao Realm Perfection. Whether he has now Broken Through to the Sage Realm, I do not know."

The other two women did not interrupt, standing obediently and listening.

"What about next?"

"The current Clan Chief, who is also the ninth-generation Clan Chief of the Wang Family, has He Dao Realm cultivation. I don't know the specific stage. And there's the Family's Grand Elder, who also has He Dao Realm cultivation."

"Tsk..."

Xu Sanyan frowned slightly. The Wang Family's strength was indeed formidable. As one of the two great families of Luan Yun Mountain, they had at least two He Dao Realm Cultivators openly, and who knows how many more hidden.

If the Wang Family's eighth-generation Old Ancestor was still alive, or had Broken Through to the Sage Realm, then the Wang Family's high-end combat power would not be much inferior to the Five Great Sects in the Central Plains.

The Sage Realm was the highest combat power openly known in the Central Plains.

"How many Soul Refinement Realm Cultivators are there?" Xu Sanyan asked.

"Hmm..."

Wang Zixuan pondered silently, "Roughly... more than twenty people, I think."

"That many?"

Xu Sanyan was slightly surprised. This was even more than the Chixin Lineage of the Tongxin Demon Sect.

"There weren't this many before."

Wang Zixuan shook her head and explained, "However, a Spirit Stone ore vein was discovered a few years ago. Originally, the Li Family also wanted a share, but then for some reason, the Li Family suddenly withdrew. I suspect it might have been the Old Ancestor who intervened."

Xu Sanyan nodded slowly. This was very possible.

Spirit Stone ore veins are extremely valuable, equivalent to a money printing machine, and would certainly attract covetous eyes.

For the Wang Family to monopolize it, they would need to demonstrate strength that others would not dare to covet.

Relying solely on the two He Dao Realm Cultivators in the open would definitely not be enough, so that old fellow is very likely still alive.

If nothing unexpected happens, He Dao Realm powerhouses can live for over a thousand years without issue. Xu Sanyan, at only Soul Refining initial stage, already had a lifespan of over seven hundred years, and he was only in his twenties this year.

"If I want to join your Wang Family, what are my options?" Xu Sanyan looked at the three women, casually putting his arm around Wang Qingyu and having her sit on his lap. Looking at her slightly shy face, his heart felt itchy.

"Hmm... there are three ways."

Wang Zixuan pondered, "First, you can join the Wang Family as a Guest Elder. Soul Refinement Realm Cultivators receive a stipend of two thousand Spirit Stones annually, but they need to complete tasks assigned by the Family."

"What tasks?" Xu Sanyan asked nonchalantly, while his hands were busy. The shyer Wang Zixuan became, the more excited he got.

"For example, guarding a certain mine, or escorting goods, protecting certain people of the Wang Family, and so on."

"Hmm." This could be considered.

"The second is to marry into the Wang Family. With Mr. Lin's talent, as long as his identity is not problematic, it would be very easy to marry into the Wang Family."

Xu Sanyan withdrew his hand and placed it on her leg, his gaze sweeping over the three women, "How about I marry all of you?"

"Hmm... Mr. Lin wants to marry whom?" Wang Ruixin pouted.

Xu Sanyan grinned, "Together?"

"...I'm afraid not."

Wang Zixuan shook her head and refused, "Although Mr. Lin is very talented, his identity is problematic after all. Marrying three at once, the Clan Chief would not agree."

Although she didn't know Xu Sanyan's exact identity, she could guess some things. This Mr. Lin's identity probably couldn't be revealed.

Xu Sanyan nodded. He had just said it casually. "What's the third method?"

"To become a disciple of a certain Cultivator in the Wang Family. This method is not very practical for Mr. Lin either, as Mr. Lin's cultivation is too high, making it difficult to find a suitable person."

Xu Sanyan frowned in thought. In that case, the second method was the most suitable.

Marrying a Wang Family woman and marrying into the Wang Family.

The first method, becoming a Guest Elder of the Wang Family, would involve being entangled in miscellaneous affairs, and he would have to divide his attention to complete Family tasks, which was too troublesome.

As for marrying in...

He had no resistance to it. When he was in Qi Country before, he had also married into Prince Rui's mansion, marrying Prince Rui's second daughter. He was already familiar with marrying into a Family.

Xu Sanyan weighed the pros and cons. Wang Qingyu sat on his lap, her face flushed, and something seemed to be moving inside her clothing around her chest, making her clothes swell.

"Good, then I'll choose the second method." He withdrew his hand and gently patted her buttocks. Wang Qingyu stood up obediently.

"Mr. Lin, whom do you wish to marry? Your little sister will make arrangements to avoid being too abrupt and arousing suspicion." Wang Zixuan was very considerate.

"You." Xu Sanyan gestured to her with his chin.

"Yes." Wang Zixuan's cheeks were flushed.

"Let's go, enter the city." Xu Sanyan stood up and returned the way they came. The three women followed obediently behind him.

When they were almost at the city gate, Wang Zixuan stopped and said to Xu Sanyan, "Mr. Lin, hit me with a palm strike."

"Huh?"

Xu Sanyan was stunned, then delightedly said, "You like to play like this?"

What a coincidence, he liked it too.

Wang Zixuan knew he had misunderstood and waved her hands repeatedly, "Uh... that's not what I meant. If you hit me with a palm strike, I can better explain to my father when I return. I'll say that I encountered an unknown assailant on the road, and Mr. Lin bravely intervened, which is why your little sister fortunately survived."

"Oh... a hero saving the beauty." Xu Sanyan's tone was filled with disappointment.

"Yes, although it's an old trope, it works."

Wang Zixuan's cheeks flushed, and then she added, "If Mr. Lin likes... that, when there's time, I'll definitely let gege have his fill."

"Hehe..."

Xu Sanyan raised his palm, and a shimmering white light condensed in his palm, radiating an intimidating aura. Wang Zixuan's face turned pale, and she quickly said,

"Mr. Lin, it's acting, this is acting! Don't kill me!"
