Editor: Misty Cloud Translations"Yes." The crowd responded in unison with reverence, listening as the Old Predecessor delivered further instructions and admonitions.
"Enough. You may withdraw for now!" The Great Emperor Xiao Tian waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
With a nod of acknowledgment, they withdrew. Just as the Patriarch Xiao and several elders prepared to leave, his voice called out again.
"You few remain."
Hearing this, they exchanged glances before halting. Turning back to the center of the hall, they asked, "Old Predecessor, what further instructions do you have?"
"Sit." The Great Emperor Xiao Tian gestured for them to take a seat.
Exchanging glances, they settled down nearby, awaiting his next words.
"I’ve been considering arranging a marriage between Junyan and Feng Jiu’s daughter. What are your thoughts on this?" he inquired, looking around at those present.
At this, the group froze, hesitating briefly. An elder spoke up, "Old Predecessor, we’ve never heard of Feng Jiu’s child. Even if she has one, it’s likely still in the Lower Immortal Realm. How can we arrange a marriage across nine heavens? Moreover, Junyan is naturally aloof, rarely showing interest in people or matters. If we set this match..."
The Patriarch Xiao nodded in agreement. "The Senior Elder speaks wisely. Though Junyan is the most outstanding among the younger generation, he is like a lone wolf. To suddenly arrange such a marriage for him... I fear it might backfire."
He paused before adding, "Over the years, I’ve only seen him treat Yun Qi—that disciple of the late Azure Emperor—differently. His recent journey off the island was for Yun Qi’s sake. So I wonder, if we must arrange a marriage for him, wouldn’t it be better to consult him first?"
"Indeed! Old Predecessor, I agree with the Patriarch’s reasoning. If we truly arrange this marriage with the daughter of Empress Feng Jiu, it cannot be easily reneged upon. But if Junyan has no inclination, forcing this union might well backfire." Another clan elder chimed in.
Listening to their words, the Great Emperor Xiao Tian frowned thoughtfully. "Then summon him back first. I shall discuss this matter with him personally."
"Yes." They could only comply. Seeing he had no further instructions, they withdrew.
Upon returning to the main courtyard, the Patriarch Xiao found his son there. "What brings you here? Is something wrong?" He sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, his brow slightly furrowed, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Father, is something troubling you?" Xiao Junheng asked, sitting down beside him.
Noticing his inquiry, the Patriarch Xiao glanced at his son. Before him sat a young man of exceptional bearing and striking beauty. Were it not for Xiao Junyan’s presence, he would undoubtedly be the most outstanding among the younger generation.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly and recounted the events in the main hall. Finally, he said, "That’s the situation. The Old Predecessor wishes to arrange a marriage between Junyan and Feng Jiu’s daughter. On my way back, I already sent word to Junyan, instructing him to return."
As he spoke, he looked at his son beside him and asked, "Junheng, what are your thoughts on this matter?" His gaze fixed intently on his son, not missing a single flicker of expression.
Xiao Junheng smiled gently and replied calmly, "Junyan is the most outstanding young man of our generation and the heir apparent of the Xiao family. If anyone in the entire Xiao clan is qualified to be betrothed to the daughter of the Empress, it is him."
