But she acted like she didn't see it and said, "According to the message, Windchild Scion wants to ask for First Sister Xiaoxi's hands for marriage. The scion event said that he's willing to make our first sister be the first wife."

Being a talented youngling, Windchild Scion was bound to have many wives. Also, he wasn't the type to marry a single woman in his life. If he wanted to spread his seed, the more women the better. Of course, the women should be of high quality also just like him to produce capable descendants.

"I don't see a problem yet." Jin Rou said. A marriage alliance by Evermoon Palace and Elemental Wind Ancient Sect was a good thing for the both parties. Though the palace had just a few enemies, it's not a bad thing to add another layer of protection.

"The problem is First Sister Xiaoxi didn't want to. And the palace master respects it." Luyi sighed, "Furthermore, our dao law needs our body to be pure unless we attained the perfection state."

"I see." Jin Rou nodded. For the palace, this might be detrimental to them as Xiaoxi was one of the future pillars of Evermoon Palace. The palace master couldn't lose her, "So you're having a problem of how to shoo this scion away?"

"Shooing him is too much, Young Noble." Luyi smiled wryly, perhaps only Jin Rou was the only one to think of shooing the scion away, "We want to reject the proposal without hurting the pride of the scion, but we cannot find some solutions for it."

"Because it's just that impossible." Jin Rou shook his head, "Elemental Wind is a sect filled with arrogant and unreasonable people. Do you think they will listen to your reason?"

Luyi sighed. That's why they were stuck between a rock and a hard place. With how unreasonable they were, they might become hostile right in their territory. Those people's arrogance was over the top and people couldn't do something about it.

"Did they say when they will come?" Jin Rou knew that this was an unsolvable dilemma unless he stepped in.

Just when she was about to answer, a loud voice from outside could be heard, "The Elemental Wind is here!"

Hearing this, Jin Rou's lips curved up into a smile.

When the news of Elemental Wind Ancient Sect's arrival reached the ears of the palace master, she immediately notified all disciples to stay in their rooms. Her expression was grave as she warned them that those who break this rule with suffer severe punishment.

Soon, she hurried to receive the guests with the elders in her tow.

Windchild Scion hopped out of the chariot and looked at the building structure of the palace. He nodded and said, "Not bad. This place is going to be ours?"

He was a handsome youth with a green hair. He appeared normal at the first impression but he was actually deep and sinister inside behind that pretty face.

"Yes, Young Master." An elder beside him was all smiles, "Soon, even their resources will be ours."

After the palace master received the guests, they proceeded to the meeting hall in which the elder beside Windchild directed the topic to the point, "We assumed that our message has reached you a few months ago."

"Yes, Elder Na. Our palace is very flattered to actually receive such an interest from the Young Master here." Palace Master Dina conducted herself well.

"Then I guess there's no reason to turn down the marriage proposal, en?" Elder Na just received the best response to corner the palace. With those words, she locked herself into agreeing to the proposal, "With our background, your palace will be protected for eternity unless we declined also. If this marriage will be sealed, you have many benefits to get."

Elder Na didn't need to explain it more for the Palace Master Dina to understand. Of course, the latter knew what he was trying to say. But these benefits were in the short term. In the long term, they would gradually lose out in this alliance.historical

The plan of Elemental Wind was an obvious trap for them. If she agreed, the Evermoon Palace was destined to fall and be swallowed by these beasts.

In actuality, the two lineages had an equal standing to each other. But the Elemental Wind had a terrifying backer which made them frightening to confront with.

Now, the palace master was thinking ways of declining the proposal in which the palace wouldn't suffer greatly, "Elder Na, Young Master Scion, while we are very grateful for your interests in forging an alliance with us through marriage, I'm afraid I have to decline. As you know, our Xiaoxi is one of the future pillars of the palace and she needs to be pure to attain the perfected state of our dao law. It breaks my heart to say this, but unless our Xiaoxi reaches that stage, we cannot further discuss about the marriage."

Hearing this response, Elder Na felt that the scion just cracked his fists. He must be getting agitated that he was rejected. Thus, he tried to intervene, "Palace Master Dina, you cannot do this to us after all the long trip. Why don't we discuss and negotiate? We are willing to hear you out."

He didn't expect that the palace would reject it right away. He even felt that it was already pre-planned and was just waiting for their arrival.

"Unfortunately, this is off the negotiation table." Palace Master Dina sighed, "But we are friends, so we will give you the best hospitality during your stay here."

"Friends?" Finally, the scion couldn't take it and looked at the palace master with anger, "You dare to turn me down and you're calling us friends?"

"Young Master Scion, please calm down." Palace Master Dina wasn't threatened as she said, "We didn't say it's impossible. But you have to wait for our Xiaoxi to earn that realm first before anything else. If in case you still want her by that time, then we won't stop you. But now, please understand us."
