Chapter Eighty-Three Situation

  Then he asked: "I don't know what the master of Wen's family means."

  Wu Yeyu was still slightly tense at this time, while Wu Zongyue seemed to have recovered from his recent distraction, looking quietly at Old Yu opposite him, waiting for his response.

  "Alas! The master of the house is indeed in a difficult situation this time. You all know that Miss Xi Yue is the most pampered little princess of our Wen family, and she has exceptional talent, being one of the top young people of the next generation. Everyone in the family has high hopes for her." Old Yu said, glancing at Wu Ye Yu's calm face, a hint of suspicion appearing on his own face before he continued speaking.

  "It's not just that, whether it's the Zhongzhou or other major powers of the Empire, even the top aristocratic families of other empires have already begun to pay attention to Miss Xi Yue. After all, no matter how outstanding Miss is, she is still a woman and will eventually get married, sigh~!"

  Here is the translation:

  By saying this, Wu Ye Yu somewhat understood that with Xi Yue's talent, she had already been under surveillance by many forces. Before the age of ten, she was already a high-level swordsman. As long as there were no accidents in between, she would inevitably become a strong person in the future. Not to mention Sword Saint, becoming a top-level Sword Emperor is a sure thing. Moreover, more importantly, behind her stands the top-tier aristocratic family of Daxia, the Wen Family. The Wen Family controls so many resources, and those who are watching know this better than anyone else. Therefore, if they can take her in early, their family will not only gain a top-level strong person but also be able to get along with the Wen Family, gaining more beneficial resources. It's a win-win situation with no drawbacks.

  As the saying goes, a married-out daughter is like spilled water, and the Wen family must also be aware of this principle. No matter how much the current head of the household loves Yueyue, it's just private affection. Even if her talent is excellent, she will eventually marry into another family and become their helper. Therefore, finding a good husband for Yueyue among those powers that are eyeing their young princess is also the most important thing for the entire Wen family to worry about. Even though Yueyue is only ten years old now, it's possible to arrange her marriage in advance. In this other world, even child betrothals are very popular.

  How to choose the most advantageous position, get more resources and relationships, is to consolidate the original alliance network or expand new interest chains, Wen's family has been arguing about this for a long time. Basically, every day, you can see a large number of gifts being sent to Wen's house.

  What's going on? Hehe ~ Isn't it said that these things were given to the master of the Wen family or Wenyue, indeed there are some, but not many.

  Most of these gifts are given to those who can speak in front of the host or Wen Xiyue, although the host is not so easy to fool, but often soft and hard, and it's also a matter of politeness to show existence around him, otherwise giving gifts to the Wen family without the host's share would be unreasonable.

  But Wen Xueyue is different, no matter how outstanding she is, she's still young. If someone can speak beautifully on her behalf at the right time, even if it's just to leave an impression in Wen Xueyue's mind beforehand, that would be good. At least it will give her a general idea of what her family thinks.

  Nowadays, every family is making a big fuss, even if the Wen family agrees to anyone, it's not bad, but agreeing to anyone is also not excessive. Therefore, any family with some thoughts will grasp all means to make their own family look good.

  Actually, the last time Wen Xueyue followed the training team to Qing Shui Town was also because she was really annoyed by her relatives at home, so she came out to relax. As the head of the family, Grandfather was very considerate of his granddaughter's feelings, so he sent Old Yu, who was most trusted by him, to protect her. Who would have thought that an accident almost occurred? In fact, the person who took action was also one of the many forces that wanted to bring Xueyue into their own family. However, this family usually used despicable means and was unpopular, so they basically had no chance of success in a straightforward approach, and could only resort to underhanded tactics.

  When the time comes, as long as Wen Xueyue is in our hands, although we can't use underhanded methods and can't cross the line. But it's still possible to spread some rumors outside that Miss Wen of the Wen family and someone from our family are a perfect match and have already secretly agreed to marry each other.

  Then arrange for them to hold hands in some public occasions, and that will become a fait accompli. Even if it can't be settled with one blow, it can still make the family successfully stand out and increase the chances of winning. As for whether Wen Xiyue is willing or not to have close contact with her own son in public, haha ~ she won't have a say in that, there are ways to make her surrender, and no evidence will be left behind.

  However, they did not expect that what was originally thought to be a good plan would encounter difficulties in implementation, and not only did they fail to achieve their goal, but also lost a group of top-notch experts.

  Nine Sword Kings plus a mid-level Sword Emperor, and if you count the two Sword Kings who came later to take revenge, that's eleven high-level experts including the Sword Emperor. Losing so many top-notch fighters at once would be painful for any family, and it also indirectly contributed to the relationship between Wu Ye Yu and Wen Xi Yue. It's really a case of losing both wife and soldiers. Fortunately, the people involved still don't know about this, or they would definitely be furious enough to spit blood.

  Later, even if you want revenge, it's basically hopeless. Not to mention that Wu Zongyue has just obtained an official identity and is a real general with military power in his hands...

  As for now, there is a shady force that is secretly plotting against Wenjia's young princess when she goes to the countryside to relax. They are planning to take advantage of the situation and bring her into their own family, and this news has already spread in high-level circles.

  Although it is still unknown who did it, each family is not stupid, and the several families with a larger winning surface will definitely not take action because there is no need. The several families in other countries are also inconvenient to take action because they are too far away, and their hands dare not stretch too long. Therefore, the scope has been further narrowed down.

  The Daxia Empire was vast, with a broad territory that seemed to have no boundaries, but the circle was very small, usually only around ten or so people. Therefore, several families with improper behavior and fond of secretly manipulating others were closely watched by the eyes of various families after this matter, and these few families basically had no chance, being asked to leave the stage of competing for the young lady of the Wen family in advance.

  Wu Ye Yu's sudden killing move was something no one had expected, and although he was just a country bumpkin, his actions were extremely generous. The dozen or so precious Di Ming Jing that were treasured exceptionally, at the moment when the situation was in a stalemate, had already been thrown onto the stage by him, placed squarely on the desk of the Wen family's master, drawing everyone's attention. Originally those dull and unremarkable Di Ming Jing, at this moment in Master Wen's eyes, seemed to be dazzling his own eyes.

  As the saying goes, there is no wall that doesn't leak wind. The imperial families are also full of spies from other forces, and everyone knows this in their hearts. However, due to the balance of power within the empire, the various families need to supervise each other, so they tacitly acknowledge the existence of some people.

  Then, a rural boy threw in a large sum of money as a betrothal gift to the Wen family, and soon became known to everyone in the circle. Moreover, that boy was actually a distant relative of the Wen family, and couldn't be touched...

  What is Di Ming Jing? These people know more than Wu Ye Yu who is half-baked.

  Upgrade weapons, the only choice for fusing all kinds of metals. Even a small pinch of powder thrown in will easily upgrade the weapon by one level, because its fusion effect is too strong, equivalent to a catalyst in chemical reactions, and even more so. Its value cannot be estimated, and if it were roughly calculated as 100 million taels of gold per share, various families would definitely rush to grab it for themselves. This is a very important strategic material.

  After all, apart from upgrading weapons, many mechanical heavy equipment also need it to participate, and it is said that the war eagle also uses it. The key is that this thing is too rare, and the distribution of mineral veins does not have any rules to follow, let alone humans, even the annual output on the mainland is very small.

  Wants to excavate, can only rely on luck, but once heard that the imperial party has a vein of precious ore, the royal family will intervene at the first time without hesitation and finally put it in their pocket, the ones that have been passed down are not enough for each family to fill their teeth.

  Such important materials, it's not impossible for those forces to take them out as betrothal gifts for the Wen family, but the quantity will definitely not exceed one or two pieces, which is already very generous. After all, even if the Wen family has collected less than ten pieces over the years, it's estimated that other families won't be much stronger than them.

  So, when Wu Yeru took the lead and openly placed his betrothal gifts in front of everyone, they all fell silent for a moment, finding it difficult to make a decision. Because in their eyes, if such things were presented to them, and the other party was related to them and had a good relationship with them, it would be unbearable for anyone not to move.

  There is a rumor that... Your Majesty once joked in private, saying to your family members, "If such a talented young man were placed before me, I would even consider selling one of my princesses to him..."

  It seems that things are not lively enough, and they want to add fuel to the fire. So, His Majesty issued another decree, giving a protective charm to the family of that rustic youngster, meaning to tell others that this matter must be done openly, and if anyone wants to play some small tricks, I will not tolerate it here.

  As a result, the people in the circle have also fallen into an unprecedented quietness. The number of households that secretly sent gifts has decreased, after all, compared to what they had before, it's hard to take out less and show their faces in front of Wen Xueyue, and those who gossip about her have also decreased.

  But during this time, whether it's peers or older brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, they all looked at Wen Xiyue with changed eyes, as if they wanted to take a closer look, why their family's little princess would be so valuable...

  Let's not talk about other things or the final result, anyway Wu Ye Yu has thoroughly made a name for himself in that circle this time. His lavish spending power, like a coal boss with a strong rural accent, deeply shocked the powerful people at the center of the empire, and with an air of despising the common people, he stepped into everyone's line of sight without any suspense.

  ……

  Old Yu pondered for a moment, then picked up another piece of date cake filled with raisins and stuffed it into his mouth, washing it down with a sip of tea. He looked at Wu Ye Yu and said, "Hmph! So, after careful consideration, the master of the house has decided to give you a fair chance to compete. After all, in terms of family background, your Wu family is still far behind the other noble families of the empire. And as for the position of master, there are too many things to consider."

  Although Wu Yeru was somewhat unexpected, he knew that Lao Yu's words were true, and it was also within his expectations to take those Diming Jing to buy a fair competition opportunity, so Wu Yeru asked.

  "What kind of fair competition is Mr. Wen referring to?"

  Collecting, recommending!!!! Collecting all kinds of data, recommending!!!!
