With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 763 - 596: Old Yang Seeks a Son-in-law, Yin-Yang Demon Purge, Dual Techniques Achieve Perfection!
After dinner, he returned to his room and dialed the number given to him.
After three rings, a voice, aged yet still commanding, came through:
"Hello? Who is this? This is Yang Zhaoxing."
"Good day, Senior Yang. I’m Meng Chuan. I didn’t manage to take your call yesterday, my apologies..."
Immediately, a voice full of energy and as refreshing as a spring breeze replied:
"Cough... it’s no problem. Your reputation precedes you, and you have great talent. Meng Chuan, I’ve heard much about you."
"... You’re too kind, Senior Yang."
It took Meng Chuan a while to react, managing only to utter this sentence.
Old Grandmaster Yang started off with poetry, catching him completely off guard...
"Is Meng Chuan a local of Yong’an?"
"Yes, you can just call me Xiaomeng, Senior."
"You’re a disciple at Northern United University, under Grandmaster Luo?"
"Correct."
"May I ask, Xiaomeng, how old are you?"
"... I’m 21."
Meng Chuan’s expression was surprised, feeling as though the other party was vetting him...
On the other end, Yang Zhaoxing’s voice was contemplative:
"Yuelian is 23; a three-year age difference matches well..."
"??"
What’s this about?
Trying to offer his granddaughter?
No thanks.
He wouldn’t take the Celestial King’s granddaughter, creating a fuss among the Grandmasters...
Just when he wasn’t sure how to respond, Yang Zhaoxing finally brought up the real matter:
"Meng Chuan wishes for a Fourth Grade great halberd. Our Yang Family doesn’t have one, but we do have a Third Grade, and it’s among the finest.
I can help recast and upgrade this Third Grade ’Yingzhao’ great halberd for free, tailored specifically for you, not taking a single penny!
But of course, the premise is that you become our Yang Family’s son-in-law, not a live-in son-in-law, rest assured. Not only a Fourth Grade great halberd, I also hold a Fifth Grade Exalted Divine Spear, which could be passed on to you in the future."
Old Yang made a clever proposal. With the Yang Family wealthy and unable to support itself with just the female generals, this plan didn’t seem to be a lasting one.
If he were to announce that he was seeking a marriage alliance for Yang Yuelian, the entire nobility of Great Chu could break the threshold of their door.
However, he was unwilling to do so.
Viewed from the perspective of Yang Family’s entire clan development, such actions were akin to inviting a wolf into the fold!
The saying goes a woman married is like water spilled; even if they possess celestial martial arts talent, like his granddaughter who could live long, it remains the same.
A hundred years later, the familiar members of her clan would mostly be deceased.
Without familiarity or a sense of belonging, estrangement from the Yang Family would inevitably deepen, leading to her family being incorporated into her husband’s family in the future.
Finding a live-in son-in-law, who would willingly be a genius marvel with innate talents?
Yet, what ordinary person wishes, his granddaughter surely would not wish it, and Yang Zhaoxing couldn’t agree to it.
The Yang Family offers sincerity to Meng Chuan, hoping he treats them as family, sincerity exchanged for sincerity.
Meng Chuan’s Martial Arts talent surpasses even his granddaughter’s.
As a couple, joining forces, without family burdens, he might elevate the Yang Family to unspeakable heights.
The Yang Family had waited centuries for such an exceptional martial talent among women.
His granddaughter herself could also refine her Martial Arts through a powerful husband, climbing higher. A triple win.
If Meng Chuan agreed, it would be a great fortune for the Yang Family.
Yang Zhaoxing made good calculations, but unfortunately, it’s futile.
Meng Chuan, after pondering, straightforwardly declined:
"Martial Arts is my heart’s aspiration; I do not have time for romance, please forgive me, Senior Yang.
I still hope Senior could consider the weapon crafting. I am willing to pay handsomely for it, let’s not let romance matters strain good relations."
Yang Zhaoxing tries to threaten him subtly with a marriage proposal.
He wasn’t sculpted from clay, he had flesh, blood, and determination.
A subtle counterattack is reasonable.
"You know my martial talent is high, now using a wedding proposal as leverage, don’t be surprised if I hold resentment in the future..."
Meng Chuan considered himself never a generous man to be reckoned with.
Only in the face of friends and family can he show generosity.
From the other side, Yang Zhaoxing clearly understood Meng Chuan’s sentiment.
Realizing his hastiness in using the wedding proposal first.
Aging has led him to overly concern himself with Yang Family’s future.
Within the state system platform, Meng Chuan’s Martial Arts talent, while currently hidden.
But he long saw that when not hidden, he was sixth, the ’anonymous user’ at present.
Right at the bottom line of the homepage ranking, visible to anyone with eyes.
Comparable to Martial Arts Celestial King...
This implication Yang Zhaoxing understood clearly.
Not to mention, testing after the ’Gang Change,’ ranking at the top without a doubt.
Such talent, who can forecast his future?
Yang Zhaoxing felt he misspoke earlier, but he still wanted to strive for it.
Thinking it over, he spoke earnestly:
"Alright then Xiaomeng, the weapon crafting affair will proceed as you say, I am willing to assist.
I shall be leaving home soon, once I return from Linzhou, you may visit the Yang Family. We won’t discuss you and Yuelian first.
Discussing the weapon crafting, you must come over personally to confide your ideas and needs for the Divine Weapon great halberd face to face with me."
Yang Zhaoxing’s departure is naturally in response to national summoning, heading to Taihang for a grand ceremony.
"Thank you, Patriarch Yang for understanding."
"The road ahead is difficult, should my journey end in failure, I will leave a decree at the Yang Family. You can take the ’Yingzhao’ and look for my old friend Guigu Yang to recast and upgrade.
Though Guigu Yang’s craftsmanship is somewhat lesser than mine, he should have no trouble upgrading."
Hearing this, Meng Chuan felt grateful, almost prepared to agree...
"A virtuous man blessed by the heavens will surely return safely from Taihang, Senior."
...
Time flies by like a fleeting steed.
After New Year’s Day, it’s another year of martial arts club enrollment season.
Infinite Square.
A vast plaza crowded with people, viewed from above, they jostled shoulder to shoulder, weaving into a dense tapestry.
There were old students renewing fees, and new students coming to sign up at the martial arts club.
