Chapter 1446: Finalizing the Marriage Candidate! You Won't Even Call Me Father-in-Law

In fact, Su Yang knew that even if Xia Na kept talking, she wouldn't reveal any information; at most, Gong Qin would think he was good at teaching people.

But with the attitude of "better one less thing to worry about," Su Yang still told Xia Na to say less.

What if Qin Longyun opened his mouth and asked him to take a disciple... should Su Yang agree or refuse?

Gong Qin didn't notice the eye exchange between Su Yang and Xia Na.

She was more inclined to believe that Xia Na simply had outstanding talent!

As for Su Yang being good at teaching students, Gong Qin didn't believe it.

She didn't believe that Su Yang, who came from the small world Water Blue Star, possessed richer beast-tamer knowledge than the experts of their Qingluan Nation.

Of course, the facts were exactly as she imagined.

Su Yang really wasn't good at teaching students... but he would cheat alongside the people around him!

Over the next two days, the first round of the imperial clan's young genius martial competition came to an end.

During this period, Gong Qin would occasionally mention to Su Yang a few young ladies on the competition stage whose talent, bearing, looks, and character were all outstanding, and Su Yang paid a little attention.

Ten days later, the finals began.

For the final round of the competition, Qin Longyun also appeared on the viewing platform.

A few days earlier, Qin Longyun had met Su Yang and said he was still dealing with matters concerning the Divine Wind Nation!

Su Yang could understand this point.

He had brought the Hell Blood Vine Flower to cause trouble in Green Cloud Prefecture, dealing a heavy blow to the Qingluan Nation's military. The Divine Wind Nation had recently sensed an opportunity and was showing signs of restless stirring.

The two sides of the finals were the showdown between Qin Ningshuang, whom Gong Qin had mentioned, and another Qin family genius, Qin Lvming.

In the end, Qin Lvming, with peak Platinum strength, won by a considerable margin!

"Not bad! Not bad!" Qin Longyun laughed, "This Qin Lvming is not bad!"

Su Yang also nodded in agreement: "Indeed not bad!"

A twenty-year-old peak Platinum beast-tamer, placed in the Huaxia Federation before Su Yang and his companions appeared, would absolutely be an unprecedented super genius.

Qin Longyun turned to Su Yang: "General Su, do you have someone in mind?"

Su Yang rubbed his nose. Actually, he didn't really have anyone in mind. The ones he had a slight impression of were the few ladies Gong Qin had recommended, and he also had a bit of choice difficulty.

After thinking for a moment, the two girls who left the deepest impression were still Qin Ningshuang and Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Ningshuang had a slightly stronger personality, excellent talent, good looks, and possessed a grand, magnanimous beauty!

And what about Qin Xiaoxiao?

She was a bit prettier than Qin Ningshuang, very much in line with his aesthetic.

She had no scheming nature, and her personality was a bit lively and unrestrained.

When she fell to fourteenth place and was eliminated, her frustration was written all over her face.

As for the two sides' beast-tamer talent, Qin Ningshuang was clearly better, but Su Yang didn't care about their talent or strength at all!

This kind of thing was useless to Su Yang!

Moreover, Su Yang also recalled Liu Mengyun's instructions.

He still had to listen to Liu Mengyun's opinion.

Seeing that Su Yang didn't answer, Qin Longyun didn't press him, waiting for him to consider carefully.

As Emperor, when arranging marriages with other factions, Qin Longyun had always designated imperial clan young ladies to go out for the alliance. Letting Su Yang pick on his own from hundreds of outstanding imperial clan young ladies already showed great regard for Su Yang.

Su Yang considered carefully and saw Xia Na watching him with a wooden expression. Her mood might not be great, but the curiosity in her eyes couldn't be concealed.

So Su Yang smiled and asked Xia Na: "Who do you like?"

"Who do I like?"

Xia Na hadn't expected Su Yang to actually ask her.

"Yes!"

Xia Na thought for a moment and said: "I think that Qin Xiaoxiao is pretty good!"

"Why?"

"She's pretty!" Xia Na laughed, "Doesn't General Su like pretty ones?"

"Then Qin Xiaoxiao it is!"

Su Yang made the decision.

He admitted, he really was a looks-dog!

"Qin Xiaoxiao?" Qin Longyun looked toward his Empress.

Gong Qin smiled and introduced: "This is a young lady from the second branch's lineage. Her mother's background is a bit humble, but her beast-tamer talent is not bad; she squeezed into the top fourteen!"

"What does her mother do?"

"Xiaoxiao's mother is called Yun Ji. She was a dancer raised in Xiaoxiao's father's household... I heard Yun Ji has a kind personality and great attainments in dance and musical instruments!"

Qin Longyun's expression darkened slightly: "General Su, Qin Xiaoxiao's mother's status is somewhat low. How about you choose Ningshuang? Ningshuang has excellent talent!"

As long as she didn't possess god-tier beast-tamer potential, Qin Longyun could marry her off.

Su Yang replied: "Sister Qin told me about Xiaoxiao's mother's status!"

He didn't care about any low status or not!

Gong Qin also said from the side: "Your Majesty, this is the person General Su chose, and Xiaoxiao is not bad at all. Not only did she inherit her mother's artistic talents, but after awakening her beast-tamer talent, she also received strong cultivation. Breaking into the top fifty at eighteen is already quite impressive!"

Hearing Gong Qin's words, a smile also appeared on Qin Longyun's face.

"Alright then!" Qin Longyun laughed, "Since General Su likes her, then there's no problem!"

"Mm!"

Su Yang took in every expression on Qin Longyun's face.

He felt that Qin Longyun's dissatisfaction with Qin Xiaoxiao was very likely not because of her humble background... but more likely because he feared Qin Xiaoxiao would hold a grudge against their old Qin family!

From Gong Qin's words, one could vaguely guess.

Gong Qin clearly understood Qin Longyun much better.

"Then tomorrow I'll bring Qin Xiaoxiao to meet you!"

"That fast?"

"Three days from now is an auspicious day. Let's just hold the wedding right then!" Qin Longyun said with a smile. "I know you're busy, General Su!"

That kind of efficiency—nobody could top it.

Su Yang couldn't very well refuse!

But suddenly he thought of something!

"Wait, Your Majesty!"

"What else is there?"

"How do we figure out the seniority between us?" Su Yang said. "I feel like you're trying to take advantage of me!"

Qin Longyun had lived too long—his seniority within the Qin clan was enormous!

Once he married Qin Xiaoxiao, Su Yang would instantly drop countless generations below Qin Longyun, and might even have to call him Ancestor along with Qin Xiaoxiao!

But marrying someone of Qin Longyun's own generation was also impossible…

In any case, Su Yang felt he was taking a huge loss here!

Qin Longyun looked at Su Yang, the meaning in his eyes obvious: you don't even want to call me fath—…

"Sigh!" Qin Longyun said helplessly, "Then just go ahead and address me as Your Majesty! You and Qin Xiaoxiao can each keep your own seniority—let's just leave it at that!"

"That works too!"

Your Majesty was, after all, a respectful form of address for the Emperor.

Much like "Your Excellency"—Su Yang could still accept it.

Still, this "Your Majesty" felt a bit awkward.

Su Yang made up his mind: once he became a Divine-tier Beastmaster in the future, if their relationship hadn't soured, he'd just call Qin Longyun "Old Qin"!
