Chen Xuan himself hadn't expected that just a moment ago, the two sides were still fighting and killing each other.

At this moment, are we about to become a family?

"In martial arts competitions, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Our Lin clan's intentions are clear: as long as we form a marriage alliance, everything else is negotiable!"

Lin Qing's gaze was intense. At this moment, she looked at Chen Xuan with the same feeling that a mother-in-law would have when looking at her son-in-law. The more she looked, the more pleasing he became!

Douwu was initially unwilling, but then he thought that Chen Xuan was not his son, and he had no right to make decisions for Chen Xuan.

Although he disliked the Lin clan, overall, if Chen Xuan were to form a marriage alliance with the Lin clan, it would only bring benefits and no harm.

The Lin Clan will use its resources to nurture Chen Xuan!

Thinking of this, Douwu turned to look at Chen Xuan and asked:

"Young man, the Lin clan is planning to form a marriage alliance with you. What are your thoughts on that?"

Chen Xuan felt somewhat helpless. To be honest, he already had enough women around him, so one more wouldn't make a difference.

However, you have to consider the feelings of the women in your family.

He couldn't possibly come out and bring a woman back with him, could he?

If Li Xiuning and the others lower their opinion of me later, that wouldn't be a good thing.

However, the Lin Clan's attitude is indeed very firm: they will only offer the Divine Tear Green Gold if a marriage alliance is formed.

If they don't form a marriage alliance, even if the entire Great Ruins were sunk, the Lin Clan would rather die than surrender.

"What's there to be conflicted about, kid? We're marrying our daughter off to you, not making you marry into the Lin clan. It's all beneficial for you, and you're still not happy?"

Lin Jiao saw Chen Xuan frowning and deep in thought, and immediately became dissatisfied.

Many people want to climb the social ladder by attaching themselves to the Lin clan, but none of them have the chance, yet Chen Xuan actually looks down on them?

What's the logic behind this?

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Alas, seniors, you may not know this, but I actually already have a wife at home."

Chen Xuan politely cupped his hands in greeting.

As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face. Although we were fighting to the death before, now that we're sitting down to talk properly, we should be polite where necessary.

"You already have a wife? That's easy, just divorce her, won't you?"

Lin Shan said nonchalantly, "A man must find a woman who can help him achieve success and rise to the top in his career. The women of my Lin clan are sure to be competent and virtuous wives!"

Without a second thought, Chen Xuan shook his head and refused, saying, "Senior, my wife and I are deeply in love. I would never be the kind of heartless, ungrateful person."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shan immediately retorted with displeasure, "Boy, what do you mean by that? Do you mean you want a woman from my Lin clan to be my concubine?"

How could a woman from one of the eight ancient clans become someone else's concubine?

Douwu immediately scoffed, "What's wrong with taking your Lin clan's women as concubines? Don't forget, it was you who were rushing to marry your daughters to Chen Xuan, not him begging to marry your Lin clan's women."

"Besides, this kid hasn't agreed to marry a woman from your Lin clan yet. He might not even want to be his concubine!"

"you!"

These words infuriated the three old men of the Lin clan!

What do you mean by "you wouldn't even accept him as a concubine"?

When have the women of the Lin tribe ever been so lowly?

"Young man, are you really unwilling to divorce your wife?"

Lin Qing stared at Chen Xuan with a solemn expression.

"Of course not!"

Chen Xuan shook his head without even thinking.

Li Xiuning was his lawfully wedded wife; the others were all concubines. From the moment his soul transmigrated to this era, Li Xiuning had been with him.

He was a criminal at the time, falsely accused of stealing his family's treasure and sentenced to exile to a remote border region to atone for his sins.

Li Xiuning and the others have been with him since he was still a nobody.

Now that he's powerful, he's dumped her for the sake of a so-called political marriage and personal gain?

Is that even human?

"Very good. I greatly admire your kind and righteous nature. This proves that you have noble character and are worthy of our Lin clan entrusting our daughter to you!"

Lin Qing suddenly showed an expression of appreciation.

She is a woman, and she can empathize with others. She has a special appreciation for men who do not abandon their wives who have shared hardships with them!

"Lin Qing, what do you mean by that? Do you really want the women of our Lin clan to be our concubines?"

Lin Shan immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, feeling that it was a disgrace to have a woman from the clan as a concubine!

"Hmph, what does it matter whether she's a concubine or not? As long as they love each other, that's all that matters!" Lin Qing glared at him, signaling him to shut up and not talk nonsense here!

In fact, the subtext is quite obvious: whether or not she is a concubine is not important. The marriage is for the sake of interests. Can you really expect the two of them to have any feelings for each other?

As long as a marriage alliance is possible, that's fine!

After all, without a marriage alliance, given Dou Wu's despicable character, he wouldn't leave until he got the Divine Tear Green Gold.

It's impossible to completely break the seal and fight him to the death, right?

To put it bluntly, the so-called marriage alliance was just the Lin clan saving face by giving themselves an out.

Soon, Lin Shan and Lin Jiao understood her meaning and stopped talking, letting Lin Qing take charge.

"Young man, your name is Chen Xuan, right? Let's settle things here. My Lin clan's daughter can be your concubine, but you must treat her well."

"Next, let's talk about the bride price and dowry. Once we've settled these two things, you can go to my Lin tribe to select a girl."

Lin Qing cut to the chase quickly; Chen Xuan hadn't even agreed to marry her yet, and she was already fast-forwarding to the dowry and bride price.

"Alright, why make it so complicated? As for the betrothal gifts, I think we should just give a weapon. As for the dowry, you can just give us Divine Tear Green Gold. Then we'll take a girl with us."

Douwu muttered curses.

"No, how can we be so hasty? We must have a grand wedding and invite guests from all directions!"

Lin Qing shook her head directly. She planned to hold a grand wedding for Chen Xuan and the woman he had chosen within the Lin clan, so that the whole world would know about the marriage alliance between the Lin clan and Chen Xuan.

To put it bluntly, once this gets out, Chen Xuan will have to help the Lin clan whenever they need it.

If I don't come, won't I be criticized by everyone?

"You can discuss how to handle the wedding arrangements yourselves later. We still have to rob other restricted areas, so we don't have time now."

"Kid, give them a weapon as a dowry, and the matter will be settled."

Douwu urged impatiently.

He was already unhappy about the marriage alliance between the Lin clan and Chen Xuan, so naturally he wouldn't speak politely.

It would be best if it could be mashed into a yellow color!

"Douwu, what did you say? You're going to rob other restricted areas too?"
