"Marriage is ultimately a matter between two people. Since I can't find my wife's whereabouts, I naturally can't break off the marriage."
"That bastard Xi Fu even dared to use his power to prevent me from leaving the Underworld. He actually claimed that my wife's death was due to my mismanagement of the Underworld and had nothing to do with him. He put on a shameless face and kept shirking responsibility."
"I had no choice but to ask the Heavenly Emperor to execute the Old Man of the Moon, or at the very least strip him of his power. Is disrupting the normal work and life order of the Underworld not a capital offense?"
"Who knew that the Heavenly Emperor would insist on protecting him, saying that this was an internal conflict within the Six Realms and should be addressed primarily through criticism and education. Criticism and education? If criticism and education were effective, what would be the point of criminal law?"
"In the end, I had no choice but to swallow my pride. What can I do? I'm just a ghost, not some high and mighty immortal. Expecting an immortal to make decisions for me is just asking for trouble! Since my authority is limited to the underworld, I can only close the Old Man of the Moon's underworld interface and avoid seeing it altogether."
"At the time, I said that I would reopen the Underworld interface of the Old Man of the Moon only when he would break off this dead marriage for me. Otherwise, the Old Man of the Moon would be an unwelcome guest of my Underworld, and my Underworld would no longer welcome him. Even the Heavenly Emperor did not say anything about this, which can be regarded as tacit approval."
At this point, the Five Senses King looked at Wang Yao again, a cold smile on his face.
"Now that you know the whole story, you still dare to say you can solve it for me?"
Wang Yao watched as King Wu Guan blinked a few times, utterly astonished. He could handle this! It wasn't a big deal, so why couldn't Xi Fu resolve it? And it even escalated to the Heavenly Emperor? Was it really necessary?
When he first took over as the matchmaker, he was puzzled for a long time by how to sever marriage ties. At that time, Xi Fu was not around, so no one asked him and he could only ponder it on his own.
It's like he arranged a human-dog match for Zhen Huai and Huang Li, then regretted it and had to arrange other matches for them, such as arranging a match for Zhang Ying for Zhen Huai and a foreign dog named James for Huang Li. Now it seems that the results are quite good.
Afterwards, he helped Chen Ke matchmake Wang Yongjin, Zhao Risheng, and Wang Jiabao, and the situation was the same. He also summarized an experience from this, which is that if you sign several marriage contracts for a person, that person is basically unaffected by the marriage contracts. What is affected is the other party who only has one marriage contract.
Just as Zhen Huai was forced into a marriage with Zhang Ying, he became normal towards both Zhang Ying and Huang Li. On the contrary, Zhang Ying and Huang Li were very attached to Zhen Huai. After Huang Li was forced into a marriage with James, she also stopped being obsessed with that human-dog relationship and became distant from James.
Chen Ke's situation was even more obvious. Wang Jiabao was arrested and taken to the police station, which goes without saying. Wang Yongjin and Zhao Risheng fought fiercely over her, but she was still single-mindedly focused on living with Wei Dafa, showing no intention of having an affair.
Therefore, although Wang Yao later asked Xi Fu about the method of severing marriage ties, he already understood that arranging several marriages for someone was also a way to sever marriage ties. However, he had not had time to ask about the potential side effects of this method, as he had only known Xi Fu for a short time.
However, in his opinion, this method should be similar to severing the bond of marriage. The difference is that with this method, there are still some emotional ties, and the break is not clean. But as a veteran matchmaker, Xi Fu should know this method, right?
Does this method only work for humans? And not for ghosts? Isn't that nonsense? I just arranged countless ghost marriages for Hui Shuo not long ago, and I haven't heard the Five Officials King mention that Xi Fu has ever tried this.
It's gotten all the way to the Heavenly Emperor, what's the point? They even shut down the matchmaking interface in the underworld, what's the use? They could have just casually arranged a few marriages for the Five Statue King, and what does it matter if the ghosts who were matched with him can't forget him?
The King of Five Senses is Yama, after all. It's perfectly normal for him to be loved by ghosts in the underworld, isn't it? Given Xi Fu's principles, would he be morally blackmailed by this so-called morality? Impossible.
Wang Yao stared at the Five Senses King, a thousand thoughts racing through his mind. He just couldn't understand what had gotten into Xi Fu. Why didn't he think of such a simple method, or was he simply unwilling to use it?
Is it worth giving up the Underworld interface of the Matchmaker and all the achievements he had made with the Five Senses King? He also knew that the Yin-Yang Path of the Underworld now had an external affairs office, which meant that Xi Fu had gone back on his word and the Underworld had reneged on all the promises he had made to him.
You've been busy all this time for nothing, isn't that just pointless? So there's only one explanation: Xi Fu had no idea about Wang Yao's plan. But... how could that be?
Little did he know that Xi Fu was different from him. Xi Fu was trained by the former matchmaker, a proper master, and learned all the matchmaker skills step by step, just like in a textbook.
He had a comprehensive and solid grasp of the matchmaking system, but there was one rule he followed: he always followed the rules and only took the usual path.
This method of arranging several marriages for one person is an extremely unorthodox use of the Matchmaker system; the official textbooks would never teach such a thing.
Just like ordinary people driving, it's normal for one person to drive one car. If you say you're used to driving and then towing another car, no driving school teaches students that way. How to drive one car and tow another on the road is what roadside assistance training covers.
Aside from attending the training course on road rescue, he had to figure out the rest on his own. The matchmaker's tricks were already enough; he didn't care much for people or things to be paired up. Xi Fu never imagined it would be so complicated, having to arrange several marriages for one person, and even then, it wouldn't have any effect on that person.
