Chapter 4893: Losing Chastity Before Marriage
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Xuan Jiuling was silent for a while before sighing. “I understand. Let’s go.”
When Xuan Jiuling arrived at the main hall, everyone had already arrived.
Xuan Yuze, the Black Tortoise Clan’s Patriarch, was sitting at the main seat. When he saw him, he immediately smiled and waved at him.
“Elder Jiuling, you’re finally here. Please take a seat. We’re discussing the marriage between Qingling and Young Master An of the White Fen Clan. You’ve been in Snowflake City for the longest time and have had a lot of contact with the White Fen Clan. What do you think about this marriage?”
Xuan Jiuling cupped his hands and bowed. He looked up and sighed in his heart.
Xuan Yuze was leaning on a huge recliner. Although he was trying his best to stay alert, his expression was still dispirited, and an unnatural purplish pallor on his face.
Ever since he was heavily injured by the Devils’ sneak attack during the training, Xuan Yuze’s injuries had not recovered.
Not only was his cultivation greatly affected, but his lifespan was also affected.
The two of them were clearly about the same age, but Xuan Jiuling’s hair was still black. After Xuan Yuze was injured, his entire head of hair was almost white.
For Xuan Yuze, who had been strong all his life, this was a huge blow. It was no wonder he was in a hurry to show goodwill to the White Fen Clan.
Xuan Yuze was very respectful to Xuan Jiuling, so he specially left a seat on his right side for him. He waited for him to sit down before continuing to ask for his opinion.
Xuan Jiuling didn’t comment.” I’ve been in the army for many years, so I don’t have much experience in clan affairs. If Patriarch has any plans, just tell me, and I’ll do as you say.”
Xuan Yuze nodded. Some time ago, they sent me a message, hoping to hold the wedding as soon as possible. It would be best if the two juniors could get married in Snowflake City. I’ve already prepared Qingling’s dowry for this trip.”
When Xuan Jiuling heard this, he couldn’t help but turn around and look at Xuan Qingling, who was sitting silently at the bottom of the steps.
Because they practiced water-attribute cultivation techniques, the Black Tortoise Clan’s cultivators, regardless of gender, all looked delicate and refined. Even if they were not good-looking, they would have a cold temperament that was different from outsiders.
However, Xuan Qingling’s coldness was different from usual.
She sat there without any expression or movement, as if everyone in the main hall was talking about someone else, not her own marriage.
Xuan Jiuling recalled Liu Buyan whom he had just met and his brows furrowed slightly.
“Why are you in such a hurry? After all, it was a marriage alliance between two great families. No matter what, the wedding banquet had to be held in White Fen Continent. How could it be held in this frontier fortress? It’s going to damage the reputation of the two families!”
Xuan Yuze was just about to speak when a foul air rushed up his throat and he could not help but cough.
The maid beside him hurriedly handed him tea. Xuan Yuze drank it and only recovered.
“You’ve seen my current situation. I can’t delay it for too long.” Moreover, the White Fen Clan seems to be even more anxious than us. They were the ones who suggested the early marriage.”
Xuan Jiuling’s heart sank.
It seemed that Xuan Qingling’s marriage to An Zhenyu was a foregone conclusion.
To be honest, he didn’t think it was worth it to exchange the most outstanding genius of the younger generation in the family for a pill. However, Xuan Yuze was the Patriarch after all, and Xuan Qingling herself had agreed to marry.
Just as Xuan Jiuling was sighing inwardly, Elder Qingguang, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.
“Patriarch, I don’t think it’s appropriate for Xuan Qingling to marry into the White Fen Clan. As far as I know, Xuan Qingling has already lost her virginity before marriage and even eloped with her lover for several months…”
