44: The Wife Selection Meeting was held, and the other two families' conspiracy

On the day of the Wife Selection Assembly.

"Dad, are you out of your mind! Why are you holding a Wife Selection Assembly for Xiao Yi? He's just a child! Don't you think this is ridiculous?"

Li Xue'er questioned Li Yuntian. When she received the news that Li Yuntian was going to hold a Wife Selection Assembly for Li Yi, she was shocked and immediately took a Spirit Boat back to stop this farce.

"What's so ridiculous about it? Shouldn't you be happy that your younger brother is choosing a wife, and help him vet them?"

Li Yuntian said with some displeasure, his hands clasped behind his back. Since when did Li Xue'er start lecturing him, her father?

"I'm very happy! Extremely happy!" Li Xue'er said angrily, "Xiao Yi is just a child. I wouldn't say anything if you arranged a child engagement for Xiao Yi, but a Wife Selection Assembly? Is this something a normal person would come up with?"

"I think you're overreacting a bit, and besides, I'm your father, how can you talk to me like that!" Li Yuntian found it strange how intensely Li Xue'er was reacting.

He continued, "What do you, a little girl, understand? Go back to Taiqing Sect and Cultivate properly, don't meddle in these matters. Besides, once Yi'er goes to Taiqing Sect, he will devote himself to Cultivating, and won't have time to consider these things. I'm just planning ahead for your younger brother."

Li Xue'er forced a smile that didn't reach her eyes: "Dad, could it be that you wanted to hold a Wife Selection Assembly for yourself back then, but it didn't work out, so you decided to target Xiao Yi instead?"

"Slander! How can a daughter slander her father like that!"

Li Yuntian coughed, his hands clasped behind his back, and said righteously, "Your father is a proper person, don't talk nonsense... What do you, a girl, understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I don't understand, you're a proper person, is this something a proper person would think of?"

Li Yuntian looked at Li Xue'er: "I say, you're a Saintess after all, can't you change your behavior? How can you talk to your father like that?"

"Saintess is Saintess, but a daughter's behavior, isn't that inherited from her father?"

Li Yuntian pursed his lips speechlessly. He couldn't refute that statement.

Li Xue'er didn't want to continue arguing with Li Yuntian about this issue. At this point, this was the only way. No one in this Family was worry-free. It had only been a few days since she left, and this happened. Xiao Yi was truly good.

Xiao Yi, big sister is here!

"I'm going to find Xiao Yi."

After speaking, Li Xue'er turned and left. She hadn't seen the little fellow Xiao Yi in a few days and missed him quite a bit.

She finally found a reason to come out, and she couldn't miss it. She rubbed her hands, excited at the thought of being able to pinch Li Yi's chubby cheeks again.

At this moment, Li Yi was in the backyard, surrounded by a group of madams, completely cut off from view. They had all come to observe Li Yi.

This scene was so overwhelming, it was as if they had almost bought Li Yi a spot in the zoo; he would definitely be a huge hit.

These madams had mostly had children before and were experienced in raising them. Seeing such a cute little fellow like Li Yi, they couldn't resist coming up to touch him.

Li Yi didn't even know how many times he had been touched. Everything that could be touched and couldn't be touched had been touched. Could they give him some privacy!

If they kept touching him, a layer of his skin would be rubbed off. Even more terrifyingly, some bolder women kissed and bit him, leaving Li Yi's face covered in rouge, powder, and lipstick marks.

A group of women chattered incessantly, and some even brought their daughters to show Li Yi, saying a long list of things that Li Yi automatically filtered out and forgot.

These women were truly terrifying! He had to escape this place quickly, otherwise, his reputation would be ruined!

"Xiao Yi, big sister is back, aren't you happy?"

Li Xue'er walked into the courtyard and was stunned to see so many madams there.

This formation, surrounding Li Yi in the middle, was it to bless Li Yi?

Seeing his older sister arrive, Li Yi clutched at her like a drowning man, rushing towards Li Xue'er without hesitation.

"Sister!"

Save me!

He threw himself into Li Xue'er's embrace.

"It's only been a few days, and you miss your big sister so much." Li Xue'er hugged Li Yi, feeling very comforted that she hadn't doted on this younger brother in vain.

"It's been half a month. Of course I miss big sister. Big sister, quickly take me out to play."

Li Yi hugged Li Xue'er's neck, unwilling to let go for anything.

Big sister is still the best!

"Mm, big sister will take you out to play."

Under the gazes of all the madams, Li Xue'er left with Li Yi in her arms.

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over.

......

At the Wife Selection Assembly.

"The Li Family is truly ridiculous, holding a Wife Selection Assembly for a child. Aren't they afraid of being laughed at?"

"Now that the old geezer Li Yan has had a Breakthrough, he is a Martial尊 realm expert. His status is different. Moreover, I hear that Li Yi's talent is far beyond that of ordinary Genius."

"Isn't your Song Family at odds with the Li Family? Why are you here? Are you perhaps trying to turn enemies into friends with the Li Family?"

The Song Family and Wang Family from Xuzhou gathered together.

The three Families were all prominent Families in Xuzhou, considered the three major Families of Xuzhou. They usually divided their territories and kept to themselves.

However, interests are not something that can be easily divided. Friction and boundary-crossing incidents often occurred, with each Family constantly thinking about how to encroach upon the others' interests.

Now, the Li Family showed signs of becoming dominant. If this continued, the Wang Family and Song Family would be suppressed to death, so the two Families tacitly came together.

"Turning enemies into friends? What, does your Wang Family want to be the good guy? Your Wang Family didn't cause the Li Family any less trouble in the past. Don't you really think the Li Family doesn't hold grudges?"

The Wang Family Patriarch, Wang Hanlin, gave a grim laugh: "Then may I ask what brilliant idea Patriarch Song has?"

The Song Family Patriarch, Song Changfeng, stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking completely confident: "The Li Family has a Genius, but they are not the only Family with a Genius."

"Oh? It seems Patriarch Song has been keeping a low profile. But now the Li Family has a Martial尊 realm expert. Although there are legal constraints from the Great Qian Dynasty on the surface, that mere deterrence is enough to cause our two Families a slow death."

Wang Hanlin continued, "Patriarch Song, please speak directly about your brilliant idea. Now, our two Families are like grasshoppers on the same boat."

Song Changfeng revealed a confident smile: "Isn't it just a Martial尊 realm expert? Li Yan has only just become a Martial尊 realm expert. I naturally have my confidence."

Wang Hanlin gave Song Changfeng a meaningful glance, unsure what conspiracy Song Changfeng was brewing, but the only way now was to cooperate with Song Changfeng. Song Changfeng clearly realized this too, waiting for him to cede territory and pay reparations.

"May I ask what brilliant idea Brother Song has?"

"It's not a brilliant idea, at most it's a conspiracy." Song Changfeng revealed a sinister smile: "Of course, I can't accomplish it alone. At that time, I will need Patriarch Wang's full cooperation."

"Since Patriarch Song is so confident, then my Wang Family will await Patriarch Song's good news. May I ask what initial plan Patriarch Song has?"

Song Changfeng's lips curled slightly upwards, revealing a grim smile: "At the end of this month, during the Three Clans Seal Competition, our two Families will unite and catch the Li Family off guard."

"Three Clans Seal Competition?"
