"Looking across the entire Dongchuan Continent, the only one that poses the greatest threat to our race is the Yi race. Now that we have the opportunity to turn enemies into friends through marriage and strengthen our race, how could I not do my best to plan? If we do not seize this opportunity, we will surely suffer the consequences!" said the Great Immortal Tongxuan.
"Hmm... In that case, there is one last crucial question." Lang Shuai nodded slowly.
"The Yi clan has always required the son-in-law to marry into the Yi clan. How can you guarantee that Princess Jinxiu will definitely marry into my Zhang Huang clan? If she doesn't come, all of the Grand Elder's plans will be just empty words."
"General Lang is wise. In order to prevent the Yi clan from disapproving or even refusing the marriage on this point, we still have to rely on the Old Man of the Moon to use his secret method. As long as Princess Jinxiu insists on marrying into my Zhang Huang clan, then it will be beyond the control of that Lady Lian, unless she deposes Princess Jinxiu."
"But once Jinxiu is deposed, it's highly questionable whether Madam Lian, that middle-aged woman, will be able to give birth to a suitable princess to carry on the family line." Tongxuan Daxian said this with a faint smile on his face.
"When I last went on a mission to the Yi tribe, I heard that in the past two years, Lady Lian's reproductive capacity has been declining day by day. She has been giving birth less and resting more. Jinxiu's succession to the throne has been put on the Yi tribe's agenda, and it is a matter that cannot be delayed!"
"That's why I tried everything I could to invite the Old Man of the Moon," said the Great Immortal Tongxuan.
Wang Yao scratched his head. This Tongxuan was indeed a cunning and treacherous immortal. What "changing customs and habits"? He was just abducting people's girls and taking advantage of their family property. It was very immoral to do such a thing, but... it didn't seem right for him not to do it.
"Hmm, we really need to be wary of Lady Lian having a child out of wedlock. If Lady Lian is determined to depose Jinxiu, I'll make a sacrifice and trouble the Old Man of the Moon to perform a secret technique for me and Lady Lian to ensure the plan goes smoothly. However..."
"Isn't there a way to make that Lady Lian fall in love only with me, so that I can manipulate her at will?" Commander Lang frowned as he looked at Wang Yao.
“Well…” Wang Yao shook his head, thinking to himself that he actually did have this method, but as soon as he heard Lang Shuai’s tone, he knew that Lang Shuai was not thinking of doing anything good. He couldn’t be too much of an accomplice to evil. Besides, this Lang Shuai didn’t mention any benefits. Why should he?
"Then so be it." Commander Lang didn't take it to heart. After all, the plan of the Great Immortal Tongxuan was already extremely meticulous. Besides, he already had enough wives. If another Lady Lian came, there would probably be a fight in the backyard.
Moreover, Lady Lian is no pushover. Even if she doesn't lay a hand on him, it's hard to say how many of his wives will survive her clutches.
Those older, haggard women were one thing, but the dozen or so concubines he had just married were still in their prime. If Lady Lian were to kill a few of them, he would definitely be heartbroken.
Thinking about it this way, General Lang suppressed his thoughts even more. However, when he thought of Madam Lian's delicate appearance, he still felt a little regretful. How could Madam Lian, who was so old, still look so young and tender... Oh well, how could life be without regrets?
"In that case, we'll have to trouble the Old Man of the Moon with everything. Rest assured, Old Man of the Moon, as long as this matter is accomplished, my Zhanghuang clan will certainly gather all our strength to reward you handsomely." After saying this, Lang Shuai finally dispelled his worries and clasped his hands in a fist and smiled at Wang Yao.
Since the Great Immortal Tongxuan had already mentioned that Wang Yao's trip was actually to help himself, Commander Lang gave him an empty promise.
After all, there are many variables in such matters. Although the success or failure of this matter depends entirely on the matchmaker, it is still hard to say whether Wang Yao can use the secret technique now. Therefore, Commander Lang is too lazy to be too polite with him. Of course, Wang Yao himself does not care about any reward from the Zhang Huang clan.
"When does the Grand Elder plan to go to the Yi Clan?" After exchanging pleasantries with Wang Yao, Lang Shuai turned to ask the Great Immortal Tongxuan.
"There's no time to lose. I originally planned to report to you and then head to the Mother City of the Yi Clan with Lord Yue Lao," said the Great Immortal Tongxuan.
"Very well." Commander Lang nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You still need a pretext for your trip. So, you will go to the Yi tribe as a special envoy of the Zhang Huang tribe. As for the purpose of your mission... it's too early to say that you're here to propose marriage on behalf of Duobao..."
"...Just say that our clan specially invited a master from the celestial realm to help the Yi clan untangle the ape-elephant talisman that has been troubling them. That way, you won't have to find another excuse to look for that talisman. What do you think?"
"I will obey the commander's orders," the Great Immortal Tongxuan repeatedly agreed.
"So, does this delegation need anyone else to accompany them? Should Duobao go with them? Once the Old Man of the Moon unlocks the divine talisman, should we immediately perform the secret technique for him and Jinxiu?" General Lang asked again.
"General, please don't be hasty. I believe that before the Yi Clan arranges a marriage for Jinxiu, the Matchmaker should not take action. After all, once the Matchmaker's secret technique is used, there will likely be flaws that the Yi Clan experts will discover. At the very least, after the spell is cast, the young master and princess's emotions will definitely be abnormal," Tongxuan hurriedly said.
"Lady Lian is also extremely shrewd. If she guesses our clan's plans, it may cause unforeseen complications. Therefore, the purpose of this trip is only to unlock the divine talisman, restore the Old Man of the Moon's sacred domain, and then I will decide on the wedding date of Princess Jinxiu depending on the situation."
"After all, the Yi clan's recruitment of a son-in-law is said to be quick, but the procedures will definitely be extremely complicated. The specific time is not something that can be rushed. It would be most advantageous for us to wait until we have a clear understanding of the inside story of the Yi clan's recruitment of a son-in-law before we act accordingly."
Commander Lang nodded repeatedly at Tongxuan's words and immediately decided that the special envoy of the Zhanghuang clan would be led by the Great Immortal Tongxuan, with the monk Huishuo posing as a member of the Zhanghuang clan as his assistant, and Wang Yao naturally playing the role of the immortal whom the Zhanghuang clan had hired at great expense.
