Chapter 730 - 506: Blind Date Meeting

"Words of others.

How can you truly see or understand the hearts of others?

What you hear may be false, what you see is real."

With just a few words, the Great Elder put his daughter at ease.

At this moment, the Great Elder was quite pleased, his smile deepening, and his tone of ridicule growing more obvious, "I just didn’t expect that Second Elder, smart as he is all his life, would end up like this.

His most cherished granddaughter dug such a big pit for him.

This matter must not be publicized; it is beneficial to our family without any harm."

The Great Elder kept some things to himself and did not reveal everything, but Wang Manman trusted her father wholeheartedly and agreed immediately.

The next morning.

Zheng Yi got up early and changed into a new outfit.

A few women beside him were constantly offering him suggestions like "Thirty-six Strategies of Love"

and "Techniques to Woo Women," amusing Zheng Yi to the point of being unable to sigh or laugh.

Zhang Qingmiao carefully adjusted Zheng Yi’s clothes, which was made of cloud-patterned fabric, pure black, making him look dignified and imposing, yet with an air of mystery and authority.

Coupled with Zheng Yi’s identity as a Third-grade Alchemist, capable of refining Foundation Establishment Pills and having a Top-grade Spirit Root.

The whole person seemed to have a halo over his head.

"If Master Zhang knew about this, he might get angry again."

Zheng Yi said with a smile.

"He wouldn’t."

Zhang Qingmiao softly defended her father, "Father will consider the bigger picture.

Currently, only if my husband marries a woman of notable status from the Wang Clan and even births offspring with Spirit Roots, will the Wang Clan’s upper echelons be at ease.

After all, my husband must have accomplished something remarkable this time, to make the Great Elder speak."

Zhang Qingmiao guessed some of the reasons.

Speaking of this, a shy blush spread to her earlobes, she whispered, "After all, my husband’s recent cultivation with the Dual Cultivation Technique is becoming increasingly effective, and his cultivation speed has accelerated.

Although I’m not sure what specifically happened, I have some suspicions.

As long as my husband is well, our whole family will truly be well."

Seeing his wife not acting petulantly as he imagined, the last trace of worry in Zheng Yi’s heart dissipated.

"Wait for my return."

Zheng Yi looked at the women, gently took his Dazzling Black Brocade Cloud Robe, and walked out of the courtyard with steady steps.

Zheng Yi followed Elder Wang Lei to the Wang Clan’s back mountain.

This was his first time coming here.

Outside the back mountain was equipped with an Illusion Array and Illusion Array, with Zheng Yi’s strong Divine Sense at the Golden Core Realm, he could force his way in, but that would be breaking the rules.

"I can’t figure out what exactly you did, but the Great Elder, Second Elder, and the Clan Leader, it seems there is something hidden from us, yet we can’t ask or speak."

Wang Lei had a sullen face, truly bothered by the feeling of being kept in the dark.

Wang Lei couldn’t imagine that this matter had so much to do with Zheng Yi, even causing the Great Elder to act in such a manner, which was indeed shocking.

"When the time is right, Elder Wang will naturally know."

Zheng Yi rarely explained a sentence.

Wang Lei rolled his eyes, and could only let it go for now.

...

Inside the teahouse on the back mountain, the Great Elder, dressed in a cloud-white robe, was leisurely drinking tea, his gentle gaze resting on his eldest daughter Wang Manman in the pavilion in front of the teahouse.

At this moment, footsteps could be heard.

The Great Elder sensed the presence and knew that the Second Elder and the Clan Leader of the Wang Family had arrived.

"Great Elder, you acted so quickly."

The Second Elder came over, his words tinged with a bit of jealousy.

The Wang Family’s Clan Leader didn’t feel any particular way.

His son, the Young Clan Leader of the Wang Family, had already established a relationship with Zheng Yi on the first day, and the two were acquainted.

Plus, he didn’t have any extra daughters to involve.

He only had this one seedling, so even if he wanted to participate in this "competition" over Zheng Yi, he was indeed powerless unless he could somehow produce another daughter.

Or find an illegitimate daughter, otherwise, he had no qualifications to participate.

"I suppose Second Elder, you also have such thoughts?"

The Great Elder said directly.

The Second Elder felt blocked inside, the dull air rising in his heart, unable to speak for a moment.

At this time.

On the top of the pavilion, pink and white palace attire slid down, embroidered with peonies and other delicate patterns, only adorning the corners, without detracting from the mature charm of the wearer.

Wang Manman’s heart tightened, sensing someone approaching.

She peeked out and looked, feeling an involuntary sense of nervousness.

At twenty-seven or twenty-eight, she had encountered many people, but this time she was facing someone who might share the rest of her life with her, an experience like a bride getting on a flower carriage - the first time.

How could she not be afraid or anxious?

Following the sound of footsteps, she saw the newcomer with rosy lips and white teeth, a righteous face, though not outstandingly handsome, he was neat and refreshing, becoming increasingly pleasing to the eye.

"Is this the Third-grade Alchemist Zheng Yi?"

Wang Manman pondered secretly.

Not long after, following Wang Lei’s departure, Zheng Yi stepped into this pavilion.

Ahead was a splashing waterfall, with green moss and rocks around the pool.

Zheng Yi came before Wang Manman.

After introducing himself briefly, the two sat opposite each other.

After a brief conversation, Zheng Yi glanced at the sky, stood up first, apologized to Wang Manman courteously, and then left temporarily.

The content of their conversation.

Mostly revolved around alchemy and matters of cultivation outside.

Watching Zheng Yi’s departing figure, Wang Manman felt relieved.

His previous words and deeds, manner, and dealings were all indicative that Zheng Yi was not the kind of person her cousin Wang Miaomiao described as someone who bullies the weak, lacks understanding, and has poor character.

Even if he took Master Zhang’s daughter as a concubine, so what? I have a Mid-grade Spirit Root and have reached the Eighth-layer Qi Refining, while Master Zhang’s daughter is only at the Fourth-layer Qi Refining.

Without anything to repair Spirit Roots.

That is probably her cultivation limit for a lifetime, and she can’t compete with me at all.
