158: Let me introduce you to a widow
Jin Yanxi looked young.
But she was already over thirty years old.
In the Family, she was known for her bad temper.
So, when they saw her arrive, the girls quickly shut their mouths.
They watched her cautiously.
Jin Yanxi greeted everyone unwillingly.
She sat down next to an Elder with whom she had a good relationship.
She quietly asked him, "What are they doing?"
The Elder lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "It's all because of that Yang Yi."
"Several Old Ancestors of the Family really like him."
"They want to arrange a marriage for him.
"They're discussing it now."
"A few of the young girls quite like Yang Yi."
"But most of the girls don't think highly of him."
"They feel that the Yang family is too small of a Family."
"Although Yang Yi is strong in cultivation,"
"He has no background."
"And no potential."
Jin Yanxi raised an eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"They don't think highly of Yang Yi?"
"Although Yang Yi's Yang family is small,"
"But Yang Yi is very strong."
"His background isn't bad either, is it?"
"He is now a Disciple of Luoyue Sect."
"In the future, he will surely be a Dragon among men."
"Perhaps even a regional overlord."
The Elder shrugged slightly and sighed softly.
"The children think they are very smart."
"They believe Yang Yi is just a pawn."
"So they don't want to marry such a person."
"There are many other reasons; in short, Yang Yi is not favored by the girls."
"A pawn?" Jin Yanxi muttered to herself, a slight smile curving her lips.
The Elder in charge of the matter coughed and nodded at the newly arrived Jin Yanxi.
He continued to introduce Yang Yi to the young girls in front of him.
"You have all seen Yang Yi."
"He is handsome."
"He has wealth and power."
"Most importantly, his strength is very formidable."
"Jin Yanxi fought him."
"You can ask Jin Yanxi, is Yang Yi's strength very powerful?"
The girls chattered, some daring to ask Jin Yanxi directly.
"Sister Yanxi, how strong is Yang Yi really?"
"We all know you went easy on him."
"Does that guy not have much ability?"
Jin Yanxi snorted coldly, not saying a word.
The girl who asked her a question felt awkward.
She pouted and said somewhat sarcastically:
"Elder, don't lie to us."
"We are our own people."
"You can't push us into a fire pit."
"We've all heard."
"Although Yang Yi's strength is good,"
"He has offended many people."
"He seems to have offended several of the Twelve Sects of Yun Province, right?"
"And also,"
"He hits people at the drop of a hat."
"He doesn't even blink when he kills."
"If we live with him,"
"If he gets unhappy or glares,"
"Wouldn't he just kill us?"
Another girl beside this girl, extremely beautiful, with an oval Face and hair flowing down both sides of her Face, adding to her charm.
She bit her lip with pearly teeth and chuckled softly.
"This Yang Yi became a Disciple of Third Grandmother."
"With Luoyue Sect as his backing,"
"It wouldn't be a loss for an ordinary girl from our Jinling Family to marry him."
"But for a favored daughter of heaven like me,"
"A girl with a captivating and stunning appearance like me,"
"Marrying him would be like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung."
"Elder, you shouldn't have called me here."
"Just let others come."
"Jin Fengxian, what are you saying?"
"Only you are beautiful, only you are a favored daughter of heaven?"
"We are not worse than you."
"Can you stop being so conceited?"
"Whoever wants to marry Yang Yi can marry him."
"Anyway, I'm not marrying him."
"I'm not marrying him either."
Everyone spoke one after another.
At first, they discussed what kind of person Yang Yi was.
Then they directly started cursing Yang Yi, making him out to be nothing.
The Elder rubbed his aching head and patted the table.
"Enough, enough."
"Stop arguing."
"No one said you absolutely had to marry him."
"We're just discussing it with you."
"To see if anyone is willing to marry Yang Yi voluntarily."
"If no one is willing, then so be it."
"There are so many people in the Family."
"If you are unwilling, naturally someone else will be."
Jin Fengxian stretched and yawned, her voice soft and beautiful.
"Then you should go find someone who is willing."
"I have things to do, so I'm leaving first."
As she left, other girls also left one after another.
In a moment, only a few Elders and Jin Yanxi were left in the council hall.
"What do you think we should do?" The Elder in charge of the matter asked the others.
The Elder sitting next to Jin Yanxi covered her mouth and chuckled twice, thinking of a bad idea.
"Don't we have a few widows in our Family?"
"How about we introduce them to Yang Yi?"
The Elders were stunned and silent.
Introducing widows to Yang Yi.
The widows might be willing, but Yang Yi probably wouldn't.
The Elder in charge of the matter approached Jin Yanxi and awkwardly coughed.
"Yanxi, why don't you go talk to Yang Yi?"
"You helped him."
"He should give you Face."
"Give me what Face?"
"Even if he gives me Face, he can't possibly marry a widow."
"What are you thinking?"
Jin Yanxi didn't give the Elder any Face and flatly refused him.
They actually came up with such an idea.
The Elders looked at each other.
No one wanted to go see Yang Yi.
If it was to let Yang Yi marry a young and beautiful girl, they would be willing to act as matchmakers.
But to let Yang Yi marry a widow?
With Yang Yi's temper, he might just cut them down with a sword.
They didn't have Jin Yanxi's skill.
Helpless, in the end, the responsible Elder went to see Yang Yi.
He carried an exquisite food box in his hand, and also two bottles of treasured fine wine.
The Elder's arrival surprised Yang Yi.
Previously, the people of the Jinling Family had not treated him well.
How did their attitude change after one battle?
Could it be that they were shocked by his strength?
Yang Yi thought to himself, inviting the Elder into the courtyard.
The Elder did not enter the house.
He placed the food box on the stone table in the courtyard and sat down with a smile.
"Inside are carefully prepared delicacies from the kitchen for you."
"And two bottles of good wine."
"The people in the Family are too busy."
"Please forgive our lack of hospitality."
After a few polite words, the responsible Elder changed the subject to Yang Yi's major life event.
"I wonder, little brother, do you have a wife?"
"No."
Yang Yi was startled and felt uncomfortable all over under the gaze of this old woman.
Especially her eyes, they were like she was appraising a commodity.
"No? That's great!"
"No, no."
"What I mean is..."
"If you don't,"
"I can introduce a few to you."
"I wonder if you have any thoughts on this matter?"
The Elder smiled as she looked at Yang Yi.
Yang Yi understood the Elder's meaning.
Manxin Old Ancestor had told him some things about the Jinling Family.
