40: Chapter 40 Wu Qingya
"She truly is a unique beauty."
"Look at her temperament; there's a hint of stubbornness within her purity. It's very special."
Su Yingxue commented.
Shen Youqing also nodded:
"Mm, she has a very 'girl-next-door' feel that makes one want to be close to her at first sight."
Lin Yun muttered in his heart, "System, check Wu Qingya's information."
[Name: Wu Qingya]
[Cultivation: First-Order Early Stage Martial Artist]
[Appearance Rating: 92]
[Martial Arts Talent: yellow rank mid-grade]
[System Rating: Yellow Grade High Grade]
[Eligible for Marriage]
Lin Yun was very satisfied with the displayed information.
A Yellow Grade High Grade rating, just like Shen Youqing.
Now, as long as he married her into the family, his own Martial Arts Talent would 100% reach Yellow Grade High Grade.
"Is Husband satisfied?" Su Yingxue asked.
"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied," Lin Yun said with a smile.
"However... this matter still depends on the girl's intentions. Is she willing?"
"The Wu Family said they have already obtained their daughter's consent."
"Furthermore, a meeting has been scheduled for tomorrow. If both sides find each other suitable, things can be finalized."
Lin Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Then what do my two wives think?"
Shen Youqing said gently, "If Husband is happy, we are happy. Besides, having another sister means we can look after each other."
Su Yingxue gave a sly smile. "And... haven't you always said, Husband, that you want to marry more wives and have more children? We're helping you achieve your goal!"
Lin Yun felt a warmth in his heart and pulled both of them into his arms. "Thank you, my wives. Having wives like you, what more could a man ask for?"
"Alright, alright, don't be so mushy," Su Yingxue laughed and pushed him away.
"Husband, go wash up quickly. The matchmaker is still waiting in the living room! You have to go see her personally to show your sincerity."
"Okay, I'll go right now."
Lin Yun walked quickly toward the bathroom.
Under the warm stream of water, a question suddenly occurred to him:
"System, why are both Wu Qingya and Shen Youqing's appearance ratings 92, and despite Wu Qingya's Martial Arts Talent being one minor grade higher, their final comprehensive ratings are the same? Both are Yellow Grade High Grade?"
[Ding! Replying to Host: The comprehensive ratings of the two women are indeed the same, both being Yellow Grade High Grade.]
[This is because the System rating does not only look at individual numerical values, but also comprehensively considers temperament, potential, compatibility, and various other factors.]
[Although Shen Youqing's Martial Arts Talent is slightly lower, her intellectual temperament raised her comprehensive score.]
[Special Note: Although the ratings are the same, the talent improvement reward for marrying Wu Qingya will be greater than for Shen Youqing because her Martial Arts Talent is higher.]
Lin Yun understood.
So the System rating was this complex; it wasn't a simple matter of addition and subtraction.
"Understood."
He quickly finished washing up and changed into clean clothes.
In the main hall of the residence, the Wu Family's butler and a kind-looking middle-aged woman had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Lin Yun and his two wives enter, the two of them hurriedly stood up to salute.
"Young Master Lin, greetings to the two Young Mistresses."
"This is Auntie Wang, the professional matchmaker hired by our Wu Family."
The butler said respectfully.
Auntie Wang sized up Lin Yun with a face full of smiles, her eyes brimming with admiration:
"Oh my, Young Master Lin is indeed a man of talent, even more handsome than in the photos! No wonder Mr. Wu insisted that I come to be the matchmaker!"
After praising Lin Yun, she began to introduce Wu Qingya's situation in detail:
"Young Miss Wu is nineteen years old this year, a sophomore at Tianshui Martial Arts University, and a First-Order Early Stage Martial Artist."
"Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a good personality—gentle, virtuous, well-educated, and reasonable. Furthermore, her Martial Arts Talent is quite good..."
Auntie Wang talked incessantly, praising Wu Qingya as if she were a celestial being from the heavens.
Lin Yun listened patiently, nodding from time to time.
Finally, Auntie Wang concluded:
"In short, Young Miss Wu is definitely a good wife and certainly worthy of you, Young Master Lin."
"And Mr. Wu said that if this marriage can be settled, the dowry will definitely not be small!"
Lin Yun smiled:
"Thank you for your kind words, Auntie Wang."
"However, marriage is a major life event; it still depends on the intentions of both parties."
"Since Young Miss Wu also agrees, how about we meet tomorrow to discuss in detail?"
"Good, good, good!" Auntie Wang nodded repeatedly.
"Tomorrow Mr. Wu will personally bring Young Miss Wu over. At that time, you young people can spend more time together and get to know each other."
Once both parties agreed on the time, the people from the Wu Family took their leave and departed.
At the same time, a luxurious aircraft was on its way from Tianshui City to Jiang City.
Inside the aircraft, Wu Qingya sat by the window, looking out petulantly, refusing to look at her father, Wu De, who sat opposite her.
"Qingya, are you still angry with Papa?"
Wu De laughed awkwardly.
Wu Qingya gave a cold snort:
"You clearly said you would give me the money as soon as I nodded. But once I actually nodded, you said the amount was too large and needed some time, and that I had to wait until after tomorrow's meeting for it to be credited. Aren't you just playing me?"
"Wasn't I just afraid you'd go back on your word..."
Wu De felt a bit embarrassed and said sheepishly.
"Besides, fifty million is not a small sum. Papa also needs to make preparations..."
"I don't care!"
Wu Qingya turned her head and glared at him.
"After tomorrow's meeting, the money must be credited immediately! Otherwise, I'm leaving right away!"
"Good, good, good, definitely, definitely."
Wu De guaranteed repeatedly.
The atmosphere fell silent again.
Wu Qingya picked up her tablet again and began reading Lin Yun's profile.
This was already the Nth time she had read it today. Each time she read it, the complexity in her heart grew a bit more.
The Lin Yun in the records was indeed very outstanding.
Young, handsome, and from a good family background.
His martial arts progress was rapid... there were almost no flaws to be found.
Most importantly, he was very good to both of his wives.
But the more it was like this, the more uncomfortable Wu Qingya felt in her heart.
Especially when she saw the records saying that Lin Yun treated both wives as treasures, treating them equally without ever favoring one over the other, she couldn't help but glare fiercely at her father.
Look at him! Then look at you!
Hiding her mother and second mother away in Tianshui City, only seeing them a few times a year!
"Qingya..."
Wu De saw through his daughter's thoughts and sighed.
"Papa knows he has let your mother and the others down."
"But this time... this time is really different. That boy Lin Yun is truly good."
Wu Qingya didn't speak; she just continued looking at the data, but the resistance in her heart seemed to be not as strong anymore.
The next morning, at the Lin Family Manor.
Wu Qingya hadn't slept well, but she still got up early and dressed up meticulously.
She chose a light blue dress that was neither flashy nor plain. Her long hair was carefully styled, and she wore light makeup; she looked fresh and refined.
"Qingya is truly beautiful today," Zhang Wan said with relief.
Li Shuhua also nodded: "Yes, she will definitely leave a good impression on Young Master Lin."
Wu Qingya, however, felt somewhat apprehensive in her heart.
Although she had agreed to the meeting, she hadn't actually fully made up her mind yet.
Today was less of a blind date and more of an "inspection."
She wanted to see for herself whether that Lin Yun was really as good as the records said.
When the aircraft landed at the Lin Family Manor, Wu Qingya was shocked by the scene before her.
She knew the Lin family was the wealthiest in Jiang City, but she hadn't expected the manor to be so large and luxurious.
