Chapter 1441: The Eve of the Biwu Assembly! The Vast Qin Clan!

"We don't even know that General Su's preferences!"

This group of imperial princes and princesses had heard Su Yang was outstanding, and still harbored a sliver of hope for an arranged marriage.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these people are royalty of the Qingluan Kingdom — the competitive pressure within the royal family is extraordinarily intense.

Qin Longyun had far more than just these sons and daughters; fully half of Qin Longyun's children had been worn down to death!

Even the Crown Prince — one of them had been worn down to death.

The current Crown Prince is the second son standing before Gong Qin.

But this Crown Prince also knew clearly that he most likely would not inherit his father's position, and that he would most likely follow in his elder brother's footsteps…

He also knew very well that his father wanted even more to cultivate a Divine-tier Beast Tamer to inherit the throne!

Just like the founding ancestor — as soon as a Divine-tier Beast Tamer was cultivated, the Crown Prince would immediately be deposed!

Therefore, he had no real hope for the throne.

Having no hope for the throne, this Crown Prince in name only cared even more about his own children…

After all, Qin Longyun's feelings for them were far inferior to those of an ordinary family's father toward his sons and daughters.

Gong Qin's sons and daughters all shared this same calculation.

They were all planning for the sake of their own descendants.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they are now the Emperor of Qingluan Kingdom's imperial sons and legitimate children, belonging to the main branch with generous treatment — if their father truly found a royal youth with Divine-tier potential, so long as that royal youth's ancestor was the founding Emperor of Qingluan Kingdom, he would possess the first-in-line qualification to inherit the throne, and these descendants of Qin Longyun might become a collateral branch of the royal family!

Once they became a collateral branch of the royal family and lost their cultivation resources, their descendants would very likely have to venture out and make their own living…

Before the founding of the nation, the Qin Clan was already an old established noble house. After the nation was founded, the Qin Clan developed even more rapidly, and the number of Qin family members sharing the same ancestor had already exceeded a million.

Qingluan Kingdom simply could not afford to support so many "royals," and could only let each of them find their own way and seek their own development, while granting certain preferential treatment in various aspects.

Therefore, if their juniors truly could form a marriage alliance with Su Yang, they would absolutely support it!

In any case, they had so many eligible juniors that they couldn't even remember the exact number.

"General Su's preferences?" Gong Qin thought for a moment. "I heard General Su's wife is also outstanding — her personality is rather strong, and her abilities are exceptional. What he should be more suited to now should be someone like the obedient, well-behaved type, lively in personality, yet not clingy!"

"That General Su has a wife already?"

"Of course he does!" Gong Qin said. "I heard he only has one, which I didn't expect. But there should be no shortage of women by his side — I think he seems to have something going on with his adjutant!"

"Huh?"

Several of Gong Qin's children were all stunned.

"You don't need to deliberately have those young ladies make any preparations, and don't tell them about this matter. If General Su finds out, it would actually be beneath us!" Gong Qin thought for a moment and said. "When the time comes, just have them dress up a little prettier during the competition — like that adjutant beside General Su, pay a little attention to grooming, keep it simple, that's fine. Being too flashy isn't good either… Actually Qin Ningshuang isn't bad, it's just that her temperament is too cold!"

"Ningshuang has a strong personality. I asked her, and she has no plans to marry for the time being!"

"Today, you all get busy. Each of you recommend two from your branch. Tomorrow morning, before the competition, bring them to my palace, let me have a look." Gong Qin said. "I'll help recommend them a little. As for whether it works out, that depends on their luck and ability… Those who are already engaged don't need to be brought."

"Yes!"

On this very night, in the martial arena near the imperial palace, many young men and women were still sweating profusely on the training ground.

To ensure the continuation of Qingluan Kingdom, the competitive mechanism within the royal family was extremely fierce.

Even relatively distant collateral branches — so long as they descended from the founding royal line of a thousand years ago, and so long as their talent was good — had the chance to enter the main royal branch's sight through competitions within the collateral branches!

As long as they achieved good rankings, they could obtain more cultivation resources and raise their strength.

As long as the talent they displayed was outstanding enough, they had the opportunity to receive vigorous cultivation from the main royal branch — that wasn't impossible. They might even have the chance to obtain quite decent positions!

Therefore, they were all working extremely hard!

On the training ground, a beautiful young girl floated in mid-air, wind blades swirling around her.

Those wind blades seemed to come alive, dancing about in all manner of bizarre trajectories under the beautiful young girl's command.

Anyone could tell that this young girl had a solid foundation and a natural gift for controlling wind-type energy.

Many young men, seeing this scene, trained with even greater vigor.

They only wanted this young girl to look at them one more time.

Qin Ningshuang — her great-grandfather was the current Crown Prince. At only twenty years old, she was already a Platinum High-Grade Beast Tamer, a famous genius girl within the royal family!

In this world, cousins could also marry.

For these young people on the training ground, the vast majority had blood ties more than five generations removed!

Wanting to attract her attention was perfectly normal.

Three minutes later, the young girl landed back on the ground. A pretty, somewhat adorably simple young girl took a handkerchief and trotted in small steps toward Qin Ningshuang.

"Sister Ningshuang, you're really amazing! This year's Biwu Assembly, you'll definitely make the top three!"

"What's the use of top three?" Qin Ningshuang took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "What I want is first place!"

"Such high demands?"

"High? I don't think it's that high!" Qin Ningshuang said. "Qin Xiaoxiao, aren't you going to train a bit? The competition is tomorrow."

"I just warmed up a little, feels about right!"

"And that's enough?"

Qin Xiaoxiao said somewhat sheepishly: "My strength — Sister Ningshuang, you know it. No matter how hard I try, I can't possibly catch up to you all. Better to just lie low peacefully and do my best!"

"Actually, your talent should still be pretty decent!" Qin Ningshuang said. "Otherwise, your branch wouldn't have sent you over."
