Once Zheng Ya understood his own fate as a pawn, his sense of responsibility only intensified: "Thanks for the invitation, but are you trying to fool me?"
"Hey buddy, don't rush me!"
"You know, buddy, the fact that I know so much official inside information speaks volumes, doesn't it?" Xie Ming countered with a probing question.
However, he wasn't wrong.
Anyone who knows the official inside information about the Tower of Babel must be related to the Longevity Path family and belong to the official family line.
To put it bluntly, they are the opposing side of the government.
However, this kind of thing can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words; once it's said out loud, it loses its value!
Even when the true intentions are revealed.
After all, they haven't formed a marriage alliance or a formal alliance yet, and when they can't distinguish between friend and foe, it's impossible for them to reveal more information.
Zheng Ya belatedly realized what was happening and laughed in exasperation: "If your sister looked like you..."
"What, why don't you continue?" Xie Ming was displeased. Who did he think he was looking down on?
Our handsome guy also has three palaces and six courtyards, okay!
Zheng Ya chuckled, then gave a bitter laugh, and said with a sour tone, "Do you know the pressure that comes with arranged marriages?"
"Are you just spouting nonsense to your buddy?"
If you want to know my chances of winning, just tell me directly. Don't give me any of that nonsense.
To put it simply, my buddy has three stunningly beautiful older sisters who are marrying in his place, and seven cute little girls waiting to be raised. You can decide which one you prefer.
"We can take them all down together, no problem!" Xie Ming's words were surprising and also indirectly answered someone's probing question.
Is the marriage alliance using the beauty of the other side to test the strength of the official decisive battle?
It's a bit naive, but it's also understandable.
Who told Zheng Ya to be a nobody from humble beginnings?
If you don't know anything about it, you're just feeling your way across the river without any clue!
But can't you really get any information this way?
In order to achieve immortality through the path of longevity, Xie Ming's side, even if weak, would claim to be very strong, having no other choice.
Coincidentally, Zheng Ya knew him as a native of the Qian Yuan Continent.
After all, Wu Wei is one of them, and I'm worried that Zheng Ya might not trust her!
Now it seems that Zheng Ya's choice of Xie Ming was a trap; she buried herself in it and there's no turning back: "Stop trying to sweet-talk me."
I can agree to a marriage alliance, but it would just mean marrying a few pretty faces to live with. What's the big deal?
Anyway, I'm not losing out...
"What? What are you telling me?"
Dude, I'm not saying you're childish, you really are!
Have you ever heard of a mother gaining status through her son?
You must understand that marriage is not the goal; the product of marriage, the fusion of the bloodlines of two surnames, is the goal.
Children are the bond that allows two surnames to develop harmoniously.
"Say it to me again, let me hear what a vase is like?" Xie Ming began to worry about his intelligence; this guy was thinking too simply.
Without blood relatives or offspring to solidify the relationship and reach a standard for jointly enjoying the benefits of the points mall, who the hell would be foolish enough to risk their life for you and make sacrifices for you?
As for marrying off several legitimate daughters, that's not a big deal at all.
Which powerful family doesn't have its direct descendants in groups, all preparing for arranged marriages?
The practice of marriage between the first and second generations is a way to consolidate interests through intermarriage across generations.
Zheng Ya was frustrated. It was unrealistic to focus solely on cultivating immortality, and marrying a pretty face through an arranged marriage was also not an option. Did they have to be so pragmatic?
Is it really that hard for a woman to get pregnant?
The planning ability has appeared. So, how many children do you want to have, or dozens?
Who's in a difficult position? After figuring it out, Zheng Ya gave a wicked smile: "Tch, you took a joke seriously?"
What's wrong, buddy? Am I not as manly as you?
"Dude, that's enough!" Xie Ming could easily tell that he was being mocked. He had once been a eunuch on the Hongli Continent, how could this be?
Don't you know that you shouldn't expose someone's shortcomings when you're receiving them?
Zheng Ya, seeing that things were going well, said, "Alright, enough chit-chat, lest I waste your phone bill..."
"Tch, how dare you even mention that?"
"It's alright, with something this good, I can chat with you for ten days or half a month, I can afford to wait. What's the plan?" Xie Ming started to get serious.
The family's top leaders had already arrived and were all gathered together!
Although the family elders and patriarch remained silent, everyone wore a solemn expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Three daughters of noble birth awaiting marriage and seven little girls were all present!
Zheng Ya, however, was completely unaware that he was being taken advantage of: "I don't understand what you're saying?"
"Dude, this isn't fair!" Xie Ming was getting a little anxious; it seemed this guy really disliked arranged marriages.
But powerful families rise to power through marriage alliances!
Whether it's elevating the status of a noble family and getting close to the Starry Sky Inspector to transcend the control of the imperial power, or becoming a vassal family, it's all a dream come true.
After all, the starry sky is endless and vast, and it can accommodate a huge group of official personnel from the Tower of Babel, but each person has their own specific position.
The saying "one radish for one hole" is a metaphor for the strictness of the official system. In addition, due to the large number of casualties in the fight against evil, there are also many scarce positions.
However, for the vast number of aristocratic families on the Qian Yuan Continent, there are far more monks than meat.
Moreover, the opportunity presented by the official reshuffle of the Tower of Babel was a chance for aristocratic families to make great strides forward.
When the real reshuffling happens, many positions will become vacant, and that's what the established families are desperately trying to achieve.
Only by holding an official position in the Tower of Babel can one advance further towards immortality.
Zheng Ya didn't understand the intricacies of the situation, but she knew that Xie Ming was almost obsessed with selling out his sisters: "Ahem, one..."
"Dude, you're taking them all?" Xie Ming saw that the family elder's face darkened after hearing Zheng Ya's reply, and the sisters were sobbing. He felt bad too, so he made a decisive move.
Reality is cruel; it wasn't him who betrayed his sisters.
His sisters were eagerly anticipating this opportunity to leap over the dragon gate.
For them, this is a true opportunity to achieve immortality.
Compared to families that can only rely on millions, no one doesn't yearn for this opportunity.
As for feelings and such, those are secondary.
As long as they don't fail on the path to immortality, they will give their true feelings.
Only the path to immortality built on genuine affection is truly secure!
The idea of love at first sight and deep affection is a lie; it's all lust at first sight.
Lust is worthless compared to the desires of the path to immortality.
Immortality and passion are built on the foundation of soul fusion, and are a bond of affection that is defended with one's life, and a sacred place that is cultivated!
Of course, Zheng Ya was unaware of these inside stories, but that doesn't mean that the legitimate daughters of aristocratic families were unaware of them.
Zheng Ya was in a dilemma: "Well, your sister is still young, let's talk about it later, okay?"
"Dude, I suggest you develop..."
"You son of a bitch, do you think I'm an animal? This is non-negotiable."
"Then it's your responsibility as my brother-in-law to raise my sisters, right?"
"Damn it, where have you put me in this situation?"
"How about this, my younger sister can learn etiquette and manners from her older sister, to cultivate her character and health. You can't refuse, can you?"
"Well, it's just normal social interaction. It's just a matter of adding a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks, right? That's fine." Zheng Ya couldn't very well refuse.
Headaches followed.
It's definitely the woman who slowed down the speed at which I drew my sword!
He was unhappy, but little did he know that seven little girls on the other side had fainted from crying, and he was still not satisfied.
The three older sisters, however, exuded a captivating charm and unparalleled elegance with their smiles.
The patriarch let out a long sigh, waved to the sisters, and said they could leave now. Next, they should discuss the relevant issues of moving in, which were not suitable for them to hear.
She can't be siding with outsiders before she's even married into the family, can she?
Let's avoid this kind of thing if we can.
Xie Ming became the focus of the family, the honor ambassador, and said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, shouldn't we talk about the profit-sharing issue?"
"Hmm, go ahead and ask for the moon?" Zheng Ya was being sarcastic. Xie Mingxin thought to himself, "I don't believe you for a second: How about a 50/50 split?"
"Why are you crying? Say something!"
"Holy crap, this is outrageous..."
