Chapter 89: Lin Linghua: This Flower Is Not That Flower

Clan Head Su, having heard this, also felt utterly speechless.

He finally understood why Su Changying had directly expelled his eldest son from the clan.

It turned out the boy had been betrayed by his own son, breaking his heart.

"Then where exactly did you trick your daughter-in-law from? Our Su family has intermarried with the Mu Wu Tribe many times, yet we have never seen a child directly hatch a Blood Crimson Luo?" Clan Head Su now looked at Su Changying with great confusion.

Upon hearing this topic, Su Changying immediately let out a chuckle.

"To say my daughter-in-law's arrival was not easy would be an understatement."

"How exactly was it not easy?" Clan Head Su asked, suspicious and puzzled.

"When I first plotted to get a daughter-in-law, I directly sent one of my female disciples to the Mu Wu Tribe to stay there for twenty years," Su Changying said.

Clan Head Su pointed at his head, utterly shocked. "You were actually willing to do that? You had such nerve?"

"I made a deal with my disciple: she would do my bidding and stay there for at least twenty years, and I would fully assist her in reaching Foundation Establishment. Now she is already a Foundation Establishment cultivator. I did not let her work for nothing," Su Changying said.

For a moment, Clan Head Su did not know what to say: "..."

"That female disciple of mine did an excellent job in the Mu Wu Tribe.

Twenty years was enough time for her to put down roots there.

She even spread some of our basic Cultivation Techniques from Xiancheng to the new generation of young Mu Wu members.

If she had not served as an instructor there, and done so for twenty years, it would truly have been hard to say whether I could have obtained my daughter-in-law.

In fact, intermarriage between the Mu Wu Tribe and our Su family is a tradition. It has been upheld for several hundred years; ever since our Su family settled in Xiancheng, this intermarriage has never ceased.

Therefore, they know our Su family's situation very clearly.

This is the reason they continuously select clan daughters to intermarry with us.

Ever since my child obtained the quota to intermarry with the Mu Wu Tribe,

I instructed that female disciple of mine to carefully observe which young girl the Mu Wu Tribe had selected for the intermarriage.

The result was no surprise, and it disappointed me greatly.

The Lin Linghua they initially selected was not my daughter-in-law. She was merely a very ordinary bloodline of the Wu Clan.

She was not even from the main branch; she was merely a descendant of a collateral branch, and a very distant one at that.

My daughter-in-law is also named Lin Linghua, but she is the direct lineage of the Mu Wu Tribe's main branch.

Like other Wu Clan tribes, only those tribes that have produced an Ancestral Saint Witch can pass down their legacy for a long, long time.

The Ancestral Saint Witch of their Mu Wu Tribe branch is called Ancestor Bitong.

My daughter-in-law is the direct bloodline of Ancestor Bitong.

Under normal circumstances, no matter what, she should not have been sent out for intermarriage.

However, my daughter-in-law has a twin sister.

But the two sisters do not look alike.

That girl was not a good one. To prevent her older sister from marrying the person she loved, she schemed to push her sister off a cliff.

She probably hoped her sister would fall to her death, which would have gone along with her wishes.

Her actions caused my daughter-in-law to lie as a living dead person for three years.

My daughter-in-law fell from the cliff, severely injuring her physical foundation, and then lay there uselessly for three years. She missed the best time for cultivation; by the time she woke up again, she could no longer cultivate the Wu Clan's Cultivation Technique.

However, her sister never wasted any time on cultivation.

She directly became a Witch.

So even though my daughter-in-law told her family about her sister's evil deeds,

the family did not intend to punish a newly promoted Witch for her sake!

This left my daughter-in-law extremely disappointed and heartbroken.

Yet the man who had always loved my daughter-in-law, even when she lay as a living dead person, waited for her.

He waited until she woke up, insisting on marrying her as his wife.

The families of both that man and my daughter-in-law disagreed.

Because my daughter-in-law, having missed the best time for cultivation, no longer had any possibility of becoming a Witch in the future.

Both families wanted my daughter-in-law's sister to marry him instead.

Because that man absolutely refused, the situation remained deadlocked.

Later, my daughter-in-law's sister suggested to her grandmother that my daughter-in-law should take the place of that collateral branch girl, Lin Linghua, and marry over for the alliance.

My daughter-in-law's mother absolutely refused this arrangement; if my daughter-in-law married over for the alliance, she would rarely have the chance to step foot in the Mu Wu Tribe's village again in her life.

But my daughter-in-law agreed.

That female disciple of mine worked on my daughter-in-law's mind several times and even helped her persuade her own mother.

My daughter-in-law actually had long grown disgusted with her own family.

Except for her biological mother, she did not want to see those people again, nor did she want to associate with people from that side anymore. Marrying far away to Xiancheng allowed her to re-cultivate our Cultivation Technique. She would still have the chance for immortality in the future. Thus, she agreed without hesitation.

As soon as she agreed, I knew.

That female disciple of mine reported the specific situation of my daughter-in-law, Lin Linghua, to me in detail.

I took one look and thought, what a good opportunity!

Then what was there to wait for?

So I took my eldest son earlier to propose.

Then, with the help of that female disciple of mine, I married my daughter-in-law, Lin Linghua, over here."

Clan Head Su truly did not expect Su Changying to have done such a major thing.

"You actually married a direct-lineage girl from the Mu Wu Tribe to be your daughter-in-law? After hundreds of years of intermarriage, they rarely marry off direct-lineage girls. Even if they did, none had ever married into my family."

"Therefore, sending that female disciple of mine over was absolutely not a wasted effort. She has indeed established a great merit for me. So as soon as she returned, I helped her reach Foundation Establishment."

"You were far too generous. Back when your second and third sons had not yet reached Foundation Establishment, everyone knew you were willing to spend such vast resources and sect points to help those female disciples achieve Foundation Establishment, and they all thought you were a great fool, duped by that young and beautiful female disciple of yours.

I never expected there to be such a reason behind it.

No wonder you expelled your good son from the clan. No wonder you wanted to kill him with a single slash!"

As soon as Su Changying mentioned that good son of his, he became furious.

"I spent decades planning, paying such a heavy price.

When my daughter-in-law first married in, I treated her well in every way, trying to win her over in every way. Yet all that was wasted by his offhand remark that he wanted to find his first love.

If at that time my daughter-in-law, in a fit of rage, had chosen to return to the Muwu Tribe with the child, then I would have had nothing left.

I truly wish I could stab him to death with a single slash.

If you were unwilling, you should have said so early on. Could I, as a father, force you to take a wife?" A deep hatred burned in Su Changying's eyes.

The Su Clan Leader also sighed silently in his heart, wondering if this father and son would ever reconcile in their lifetimes?

The possibility was slim.

"So Su Jin and her three siblings are all direct bloodline descendants of Ancestor Bitong?" the Su Clan Leader asked.

"Yes, all of them."
