"Hey, Xuan'er, you're saying it all wrong!"
"Feelings, they can be cultivated."
"Back in my day, it was all arranged by parents and matchmakers."
"Didn't we still live a lifetime together?"
"Besides, that Ni Chang isn't just any girl. Being with her, you won't be at a disadvantage~"
After speaking, Zheng Wanqing affectionately took Qin Xuan's hand and began to tell him about the Su family.
It turned out that the Su family was a lineage of ability inheritors primarily led by women.
Ever since their ancestor awakened wind-attribute abilities, the inheritance had been passed down from daughters to daughters, never to sons.
This was also why Su Qingtan initially wanted Qin Xuan to marry into the Su family.
She had taken a liking to Qin Xuan's talent and wanted him to have children with Su Ni Chang, hoping for even more outstanding descendants.
However, as the martial arts competition progressed, she discovered that Qin Xuan's talent was far more formidable than she had imagined.
That was why she changed her mind midway and decided to marry Su Ni Chang to Qin Xuan.
Because in Su Qingtan's view, the union of these two would inevitably produce a next generation with talents far surpassing their predecessors.
And barring any unforeseen circumstances, their abilities would certainly extend beyond just the wind element.
In that case, whether he married into the family or not was irrelevant.
As long as their future child remembered the Su family, the Su family was bound to soar to great heights and prosper.
"Is this what you guys are thinking too?"
Although he asked, Qin Xuan knew that his masters surely thought the same as Su Qingtan.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much time explaining the Su family's matters to him.
However, in his heart, he still couldn't accept such a thing.
This was modern society, and arranged marriages were long out of fashion.
Moreover, he already had Miss Xiao as his perfect girlfriend, and he didn't need or want any other woman.
"Your masters understand your thoughts."
"But your current status dictates that you cannot have only one woman."
"Why?"
Qin Xuan found Ke Wudi's words absurd.
What status did he have now?
He was nothing more than a Grand General of Long Country and the eldest grandson of the Qin family.
Did either of those positions require him to marry many wives?
However, regarding this matter, the three of them did not provide a clear answer.
They merely brushed it off, citing that the time was not right and too much could not be revealed.
After walking for another two minutes, the four of them finally arrived before a closed door.
Ke Wudi stepped forward to verify their identities, and the large door slowly opened.
Inside, many familiar figures stood waiting.
Not only Su Ni Chang and Yuan Mengqi were present, but even Qin Wen Chang and Tang Jun Lin were among them.
"I've called you all here today mainly to discuss the matters you need to pay attention to during your exchange in the United States."
After signaling Qin Xuan to join the ranks, Ke Wudi began to explain the purpose of gathering them.
"Long Country's position on the international stage has always been rather unique."
"Therefore, during the martial arts exchange, we will undoubtedly receive special 'attention'."
"All of you are young prodigies with extraordinary talent, and you are the future and the hope for Long Country's development."
"So, when you go to the United States this time, I hope everyone can approach everything rationally."
"Do not let trivial provocations disturb your minds, and do not be thrown into disarray by unfair treatment."
"Our purpose for this trip is solely to showcase our country's powerful strength, not to engage in unnecessary brawls."
"Do you all understand?"
"Understood!"
"Very good."
Receiving the expected response, Ke Wudi nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he waved his hand, and several guards appeared from another room, carrying large trays.
"These are breakthrough resources prepared for all of you by the Dragon Head, out of his own pocket."
"Please accept them."
"We hope that in the near future, everyone can advance further from their current foundations."
"And reach the pinnacle of martial arts as soon as possible."
As his voice fell, the guards carrying the trays approached everyone and began distributing the resources.
When everyone saw these resources, they couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
The pills that could help Grandmasters break through their realms were a given, and their value was already considerable.
As for Qin Xuan and Su Ni Chang, they received the Barrier-Breaking Pill and the Wind God Grass, which could help break through the bottleneck of intermediate Grandmasters!
The value of these two items could no longer be described in ordinary terms.
After all, Su Qingtan, the head of the Su family, had been stuck at the intermediate Grandmaster realm precisely because she couldn't find the Wind God Grass!
The value of something that even the heads of the eight great families in the imperial capital couldn't obtain was self-evident.
It could only be said that the Dragon Head was indeed the Dragon Head; possessing all of Long Country's resources made a difference!
After the resources were distributed, everyone thanked Ke Wudi with satisfaction and departed.
Among them, Qin Wen Chang, who had already reached the peak of Grandmaster, was smiling the brightest.
Although the news that Qin Xuan was an intermediate Grandmaster had surprised him greatly, with the Qi Transformation Pill to break through his bottleneck, he was confident that he could achieve the initial Grandmaster realm in a short period!
At that time, the gap between him and Qin Xuan would only be a minor realm.
The position of Qin family head was still up for grabs!
The others dispersed.
Only Qin Xuan and Yuan Mengqi remained in the room.
As the door closed, the guards who had distributed the resources brought out more resources from the previous room.
These included Bone Forging Pills needed by Yuan Mengqi, Xie Yuqin, and others, as well as various medicinal herbs specifically prepared for Qin Xuan to cultivate the Body Refining chapter.
"My four girls, your recent progress has been excellent, but it's a shame you started too late and ultimately didn't place in the competition."
"Take these pills back and consume them diligently. I believe with your talent, it won't be long before you reach the peak of Grandmaster."
"As for Xuan'er, we've always been confident in your cultivation."
"With Senior Chen Xuan here now, we have even less to worry about."
"Take these herbs back and use them as you see fit."
"If you have any other needs, just call your masters again."
"Thank you, Masters!"
Looking at the pile of precious medicinal herbs before him, Qin Xuan was filled with emotion.
Although he didn't agree with his masters' views on marriage, it didn't hinder the growing affection between them.
"Alright, what's with the politeness between us?"
"You should all go back and rest early."
"Tomorrow is the gathering of the competition winners, but you don't need to attend. Focus on your cultivation."
"On the morning of the 5th, at eight o'clock, meet at the venue entrance again."
"Understood."
Qin Xuan nodded and left alone.
It wasn't until the morning of January 5th that he arrived at the competition venue early.
Ke Wudi did not waste much time.
After a brief speech, he led the group onto a bus heading to the airport.
The group traveling to the United States for the exchange included the top three finishers in the junior, intermediate, and advanced Grandmaster competitions, totaling nine individuals.
The top three finishers in the Grandmaster competition, three individuals.
Young prodigies selected through special selection, eighteen individuals.
A total of thirty cultivators.
