Even several elderly members of the clan with years of Foundation Establishment experience couldn’t match her. Thinking of the unworthy younger generation, he felt profound regret—how much better it would be if Fifth Lady were a son! As her father, he had truly failed in his duty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the set of twelve flying daggers, they circled through the air, returning as ice flowers after having been launched as flames, spinning around Su Xi’s fingertips like a dragon before vanishing—revealing a bracelet on her wrist, a storage magic treasure coveted by all cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bowing to her father, Su Xi asked: “Why have you come? Did you keep him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhi said: “I heard from Uncle Song that you chose Liu Xiaolou?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xi nodded: “Uncle Song was right—if possible, I wish to choose him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhi grew anxious: “Why? Don’t you know his background? He’s a wild cultivator from Wulong Mountain in Xiangxi—I’ve heard Wulong Mountain is a den of bandits!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xi remained calm: “And what of it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhi snapped: “If such a wild cultivator enters our Su family as a son-in-law, won’t we become a laughingstock across the land? This man is unacceptable—choose another!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xi fixed her gaze on her father and asked: “Of all those men in Gualu Hall, who wouldn’t bring shame upon our Su family? Please tell me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhi fell silent, yet still pleaded: “Fifth Lady, I know you’re resentful about this—you’ve sacrificed your own life for the family… but surely you can’t choose the worst among them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xi shook her head: “Father misunderstands me. I have no resentment about taking a son-in-law; I care nothing for marriage. What matters to me is the duty of being a daughter of the Su family. I’m saying this: whether it’s Qishan, the Jia family of Dongheng Town, the Qian family, the Zhang family—a man who plays chess to feign elegance, a merchant who exploits neighbors for profit, a moneylender’s son, a water Zhai  chief who runs illicit trade—what else? Never mind, I don’t care. But compared to a wild cultivator from Wulong Mountain, how much better are any of them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhi murmured: “I’ll choose again… hold another marriage selection gathering…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xi smiled, her face utterly indifferent: “Father, you truly don’t understand me. My ambitions lie elsewhere. Whoever I choose, it makes no difference to me. And if we delay any longer, what will you do if Elder Wang of the sect truly speaks up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhi was startled: “What have you heard?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xi said: “This evening, Young Master Wang came. When he left, he had a determined look—I suspect he’s going to the mountains to petition Elder Wang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xunxi Wang clan is a major branch of the Danxia Sect; Wang’s ancestral patriarch holds one of the Four Elder positions in the sect, a Nascent Soul cultivator. If he’s swayed by his grandson’s infatuation with Fifth Lady and sends a formal marriage proposal, our Su family truly cannot refuse—and if she marries out, she’ll never return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhi immediately abandoned the idea of choosing no one, yet still insisted: “Regardless, choose someone else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xi asked: “What exactly are you worried about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhi sighed: “That Liu Xiaolou… he’s… a…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xi smiled: “A fondness for men?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhi was astonished: “Fifth Lady knows?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xi said: “Precisely because of that, I chose him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhi froze: “Fifth Lady…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please visit the latest address\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xi smiled: “Father need not worry. I’ve already thought of it—I’ll make a three-year agreement with him, just to get past this crisis. After three years, I’ll give him a divorce. At that point, as a remarried woman, I doubt many will still rush to propose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhi still couldn’t grasp it: “Even as a son-in-law, you can’t just dissolve the engagement so casually.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xi said: “That’s precisely why a man with a fondness for men suits me perfectly—after divorcing him, no one can say a word. And during these three years, neither of us is hindered—it’s perfect for both.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhi finally understood, yet felt renewed guilt, sighing: “Fifth Lady, born into the Su family, I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xi said solemnly: “Father need not feel this way. Born into the Su family, to serve it is my joy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this matter, Su Zhi felt he owed his daughter too much, so he resolved to follow her wishes. What pained him was that if Liu Xiaolou were chosen, she would endure three years of a hollow marriage—even after divorcing him, she would be a remarried woman, and no good match would ever be possible again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of returning to Gualu Hall. He summoned Song the steward, asking him to end the banquet and negotiate the details with Liu Xiaolou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song the steward did not immediately end the banquet; instead, he ordered the planned entertainment to proceed in Gualu Hall—a troupe of musicians and dancers brought from Hongdu over a hundred li away, of the highest caliber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the honored guests, uneasy, enjoyed the music and dance, a servant quietly called Liu Xiaolou from behind, leading him out of Gualu Hall to a nearby elegant chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou thought: This must be the Su family deciding to eliminate me from the candidate list—now I wonder how much compensation they’ll offer. He bowed respectfully to the old man who had always stood behind Su Zhi during the banquet: “Greetings, Elder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old man’s surname is Song. I’ve managed the Shenwu Mountain Estate for over forty years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re Master Song. My apologies. Master Song summoned me to…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Song had already poured fragrant tea and handed it over: “Please, honored guest, have some tea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou said: “Master Song, speak plainly—I can bear it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Song fell silent for a moment, then asked: “How much do you know about the Shenwu Mountain Estate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou paused—he knew very little. He was about to formulate a reply when Master Song answered himself: “The Shenwu Mountain Estate was founded by the Su ancestors and has endured for a thousand years, always one of the main branches of the Danxia Sect. You should know the Danxia Sect is one of the great sects of the world—thus you understand the depth of our Shenwu Mountain Estate. At its peak, the Su clan had one Void Refiner and three Nascent Souls, renowned throughout the land.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou had never known the Su family had once been so glorious; he praised: “Truly a magnificent lineage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Song continued: “Though we are no longer what we once were, our foundation remains. To enter the Su family—even as a son-in-law—is a glory most cannot dream of.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou nodded: “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Song sighed: “But now a complication has arisen. Our Fifth Lady possesses peerless talent—she entered Foundation Establishment before twenty, drawing attention from sects and clans across the land. Countless young elites have coveted her; marriage proposals pour in endlessly. Yet Fifth Lady refuses to marry out—first, she wishes to remain near her parents; second, she intends to revive our family’s prestige herself. Hence this marriage selection for a son-in-law. But such a son-in-law cannot be chosen lightly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou grew increasingly uneasy. If they meant to reject him, one sentence would suffice—why all this? He blinked and asked: “Master Song, you’ve said so much—what do you need me to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Song smiled with narrowed eyes: “Indeed, we need your help—temporarily become our Su family’s son-in-law.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou frowned: “Temporarily?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Song nodded: “Temporarily!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please visit the latest address\u003C\u002Fp>",1334,"2026-06-19T23:11:25.549Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c53939a86f5ce3c04f0ef0d7902475466f2d66cdd9e41088c4c9c17b26cf3ec4","notes-on-cultivation-at-wulong-mountain-chapter-93","notes-on-cultivation-at-wulong-mountain-chapter-91",638,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnotes-on-cultivation-at-wulong-mountain-cover.jpg"]
