317: Come back and marry me

Xu Sanyan glanced around; with his extensive experience with women, he could tell at a glance that all these young girls had lost their virginity and were no longer virgins.

Therefore, they were probably not only responsible for taking care of the Family Head's daily life but also for warming his bed.

Xu Sanyan blinked, sighing inwardly, 'They really know how to play.'

These women were all members of the Feng family; tracing back a few generations, they were all from the same root. How could that old geezer, the Family Head, bring himself to do it?

Bah, how shameless!

Xu Sanyan cursed inwardly, his eyes revealing a hint of envy.

In front of the study, Third Madam waited outside with Xu Sanyan. Faint sounds of conversation could be heard from inside, indicating that the Wang Family Head was likely handling some matters.

After a while, the wooden door of the study opened, and a figure walked out. Xu Sanyan glanced at him, his eyebrows slightly raised; he had seen this person before.

It was none other than the Feng Family Old Ancestor, whose clan had recently been exterminated by people sent by Gan Country. He hadn't expected to meet him here.

Upon seeing the newcomers, the Feng Family Old Ancestor's face immediately broke into a smile. He clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Third Madam."

Third Madam returned the bow, saying, "Senior Feng, please don't be so polite. Is the master inside?"

"He is. I won't disturb you any further. Farewell."

The Feng Family Old Ancestor glanced at Xu Sanyan, nodding kindly in greeting, but he did not recognize him.

Xu Sanyan smiled in response; his Storage Pouch still contained the Feng family girl's undergarments.

Third Madam turned to her daughter and said, "You wait here."

"Yes, Mother."

Xu Sanyan followed Third Madam into the study and immediately saw a middle-aged man pacing and deep in thought.

The man had a pale, beardless face, thin lips, and deep, Vicissitudes eyes. He wore plain white clothes, and his expression suggested he was not easy to get along with.

The Wang Family Head's gaze fell on Xu Sanyan, scrutinizing him for a long time without speaking, and the atmosphere in the room became somewhat heavy.

Wang Zixuan, listening intently outside, nervously clutched her sleeves, wondering what was happening inside the study.

Xu Sanyan was the first to break the heavy atmosphere, "Junior Lin Fan greets the Family Head."

"Hmm, quite a handsome young man."

The Wang Family Head felt a slight satisfaction. He had heard about this matter from Third Madam last night. It was said that this young man had excellent talent and was already in the Soul Refinement Realm at such a young age. His daughter marrying him would certainly not be a disadvantage.

He had no reluctance; after all, his daughter would eventually marry. In his opinion, as long as it brought benefits to the Wang family, it didn't matter who she married.

He had many wives and concubines, and thus many children. Excluding illegitimate ones, he had over thirty legitimate children, including Wang Qingyu and Wang Ruixin, who were also his daughters.

However, they did not have a strong backer like Third Madam, so they were not given much importance.

"I hear you are from the Guangyuan Sect? In my younger years, when I traveled the world, I did visit the Guangyuan Sect. I remember there's a city below the Guangyuan Sect, what was it called...?"

The Wang Family Head pretended to ponder, looking at Xu Sanyan.

Xu Sanyan interjected, "Guangan City. Junior also frequently goes there. There's a restaurant in the city called Drunken Dream Residence. When I hadn't even reached Foundation Establishment, I often went there to satisfy my cravings."

He had only been to that city once, when he first arrived in Central Province, where he met Cui Yousheng. As for the Drunken Dream Residence, it was just something he made up.

"Yes, that's right."

The Wang Family Head simply probed him, then continued, "You and Xuan'er are in love, and I don't wish to separate you. However, the clan has its laws, and the family has its rules. To marry a Wang family daughter, one condition must be met."

Xu Sanyan's expression was solemn, "Family Head, please speak. Junior will obey without question!"

"Good!"

The Wang Family Head liked his straightforwardness and no longer beat around the bush. "I don't care about your background, but you must show your sincerity. Have you heard about the Feng family incident a few days ago?"

"Xuan'er mentioned it."

"Hmm, Gan Country sent people to act recklessly on Wang family territory. If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll really think my Wang family is easy to bully."

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanyan already guessed what he wanted him to do. Simply put, it was to make a pledge of allegiance.

Indeed, the Wang Family Head continued, "The Feng family is a vassal of the Wang family. When something happens to them, I have to intervene. Tomorrow morning, the Grand Elder will lead a team, and you will go with them. Any problems?"

"No problem."

"Haha, good. Once you return, I will choose a date for your marriage," the Wang Family Head nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank you, Family Head, for your approval."

"Go."

Xu Sanyan bade farewell and left with Wang Zixuan, who was waiting outside.

Third Madam sat in the chair without a word, her eyes vacant, lost in thought.

"Reluctant to part with your daughter?" The Wang Family Head smiled as he embraced Third Madam's plump body, pinching the flesh at her waist.

Third Madam let him do as he pleased. "Sigh... mainly, this person's background is unclear. I'm afraid my daughter will follow him..."

The Wang Family Head chuckled, "Haha, as long as he stays in the Wang family long enough, no matter what his intentions are, he will eventually become a Wang family member."

By making him offend Gan Country this time, he could then be made to offend the Li family next time. Gradually, he would realize he had nowhere else to go, and staying in the Wang family would be his best option.

"A Soul Refinement Realm cultivator in his sixties... perhaps after a long time, my Wang family might gain another He Dao Realm expert."

"Hmm..."

Third Madam also understood this principle. If personal feelings were set aside, this exchange was clearly a gain.

Xuan'er was merely at the early stage of the Mystic Path Realm, while Lin Fan was in the Soul Refinement Realm and still young, with a good chance of entering the He Dao Realm. No matter how it was calculated, the Wang family would not suffer a loss.

The Wang Family Head pinched her cheek, comforting her, "It's alright. Tonight, I'll stay with you, and we'll have another child, filling your emptiness with my treasure..."

"Hmm... what are you saying...?"

Third Madam no longer had her usual Aura, acting like a young girl in his arms.

She clearly knew that a large part of her power came from the man in front of her, and she was very capable of understanding her place.

"Since we have nothing to do right now, why don't we... hehe..."

"You're annoying~"

...

Wang Zixuan hooked one arm through Xu Sanyan's, looking up at him with concern, and softly urged,

"Mr. Lin, you must be careful. I'll be waiting for you to come back and marry me."

Xu Sanyan's mouth twitched uncontrollably. Her words sent shivers down his spine.

Things like 'I'll marry you when this battle is over,' 'I'll marry you when this escort mission is done,' 'I'll be back after this mission is complete...'

Usually, after saying such things, they never returned.

Xu Sanyan interrupted, "Tell me about the Grand Elder."

"Oh, the Grand Elder is from a collateral branch. He grew up with Father since childhood, and their relationship is incredibly close. Moreover, the Grand Elder is also in the He Dao Realm, so there shouldn't be any problems with him leading the team."

"Hmm..."

Xu Sanyan nodded thoughtfully. As his gaze shifted, he suddenly saw someone walking in the distance and paused. He recognized this person...

"Zuoqiu Zhen? Why is she here?"

Zuoqiu Zhen clearly saw him too and walked straight over.
