Long Xi seemed stunned by her directness, and it took him a while to come to his senses. He lowered his head slightly and began to think, as if seriously considering her suggestion. Although her words were direct and contained some phrases he didn't quite understand, he understood about 70-80% of the meaning, and they were indeed all true.
The Wu family's strength is an advantage, giving them a head start over Youyou. However, this very strength could also be an obstacle for the Long family. After all, the Heavenly Maiden is from the Wu family, making them a naturally inseparable ally. Although the Heavenly Maiden chooses her relatives, the Wu family is already the largest and most powerful relative.
"I heard that Your Excellency already had disciples before entering the Pavilion. Were they taken in by the Heavenly Maiden when she encountered trouble in the mortal world?" He pondered for a while before speaking in a deep voice.
"You mean Boss Lin and the others?" You You didn't understand why he suddenly asked this, but nodded anyway. "Yes!"
"Then, to His Majesty, what are these disciples...?"
"Brother!" You You blurted out. What else could a brotherhood be but a bond forged in life and death?
Long Xi paused for a moment, seemingly shocked by her answer. After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and revealed an exceptionally bright smile. He looked at her deeply before saying in a deep voice, "Your Majesty... is quite different from the other celestial maidens."
What does "..." mean? Is he agreeing or disagreeing?
Long Xi immediately regained his polite and gentle expression and continued, "Thank you for telling me the truth, Your Excellency. However, this matter concerns the entire Long clan, and we need to go back and discuss it with the elders of the clan and think it over carefully." He seemed to think of something, and his brows furrowed slightly.
“Okay!” Youyou understood that this was not something that could be decided immediately.
Long Xi didn't linger. After a few polite words, she got up to take her leave. She didn't try to stop her, but out of courtesy, she saw her to the door. The other person seemed extremely surprised by her seeing him off, and a genuine smile appeared on his face, though the worry that had been lingering between his brows seemed to deepen even more.
With the intention of seeing off the major shareholder, Youyou watched the other party walk away. Just as she was about to turn around, she heard a somewhat familiar mocking voice from the side.
"Pshaw, no matter how much you look at them, they won't choose you!"
She turned her head and saw that there was someone leaning against the stone pillar on her right. The person had a stunningly beautiful face looking at her with resentment and unwillingness, and there was also a hint of inexplicable anger.
“Xun Rong!” You You recognized the ruffled little turkey instantly. “What are you doing here?” He hadn’t appeared since he suddenly disappeared from the ruins that day, and she had wondered if something had happened to him. Now it seemed that nothing was wrong.
"Why can't I be here?" Xun Rong glared at her without any politeness. Perhaps because he had already been exposed, he had completely lost the weak and sickly demeanor he had when they first met. He appeared unrestrained and arrogant. "Such a big event as the Heavenly Maiden choosing aristocratic families, of course I have to come and try."
"A prominent family?" You You wasn't too surprised by his true nature, after all, he had seen him at his most explosive. But she turned to Ling Qi beside her and asked, "Is he also from a prominent family?" Wasn't the identity of the young master of the Xun family fake?
Ling Qi shook his head. So many aristocratic families come to Chengtian Pavilion, and he hasn't seen them all before. "May I ask, young master, which aristocratic family do you come from?"
"You'll find out sooner or later." Xun Rong didn't even glance at Ling Qi, her eyes were fixed on You You. She took a step forward and looked her up and down with a provocative look in her eyes. "I'm just here to kindly remind you that you can't count on the Long family. With your penniless appearance, even if you were willing to let that kid Long Xi become your follower, he wouldn't choose you."
Before You You could reply, Ling Qi frowned and said directly, "The head of the Long family has not yet made a decision, young master, please do not jump to conclusions."
"What constitutes a rash judgment?" Xun Rong glanced at Ling Qi, his brows furrowing slightly, feeling a strange irritation. "Even if Long Xi has the intention, the members of the Long family will not agree." Becoming relatives is not just a matter for one person, but for the entire family.
Youyou knew this principle, of course. She had only tried her best and didn't really have any hope.
“How about…” Xun Rong’s eyes narrowed, his upturned phoenix eyes suddenly filled with charm, his whole body exuding an alluring aura, and his peerless face drew closer and closer, “How about you choose me? We’ve known each other for a while now, and if you beg me… it’s not impossible for me to help you save face!”
Youyou glanced at him, stretched out a finger, poked his forehead, and pushed his face back. She coldly replied, "Oh!" and turned to walk towards the side hall. Only a fool would believe him, given his wicked nature.
Xun Rong's face darkened instantly, and he followed after him, cursing, "What was that look you gave me just now? You stop right there... Are you looking down on me? Let me tell you, don't be ungrateful, I'm not someone you can just latch onto!"
"Okay, okay... move aside, I'm looking for someone!" After saying that, he pushed the person aside and continued searching inside the house.
Xun Rong was jolted awake, his face filled with disbelief. He exploded instantly, instantly transforming into a little turkey. "You dare to fob me off?!" he roared through gritted teeth, his face flushed red with rage. "You bastard, do you even know who I am...?"
"Where are they?" Before he could finish exploding, You You suddenly turned around and asked, "Xun Rong, when you came in, did you see Boss Lin and Boss Yin outside?"
Xun Rong paused for a moment, then suddenly calmed down, saying sarcastically, "Hmph, what? Only now do you think of looking for someone?"
