CHAPTER 807: CHAPTER 326: THE YELLOW SPARROW

The letters from the State Preceptor and Ji Bang were all inside the Jade.

What surprised Xu Jin was that the Jade was actually sealed with Star Power imbued with the aura of the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.

Xu Jin unlocked the seal, and the moment his mind delved in, he was stunned.

The so-called marriage contract actually turned out to be true.

It was a marriage contract between Ji Hongli and Xu Jin.

This marriage contract was signed by his father Xu Dajiang and Old Master Ji of the Ji Family, and the witness was unexpectedly the State Preceptor.

Xu Jin himself wasn’t even present, how did the State Preceptor witness it?

One could only say his father sold out his son too quickly.

Resulting in a marriage contract being directly slapped in his face.

Ji Bang’s letter was simple and straightforward.

[Xu Jin, my grandson-in-law, children of the Martial World, won’t indulge in pretentiousness. Since the marriage contract is established, and you are currently unable to marry, it’s convenient to have Hongli come over to look after you.

Serve tea, bring water, add clothes and warm the blankets, so she might bring some warmth in the alien realm, mitigating your homesickness.

Letting the virtuous grandson-in-law know, granddaughter Hongli was raised with care from a young age but is naturally gentle. If there are any shortcomings, I hope the virtuous son-in-law will pity, love, and educate her well without blaming excessively.

Additionally, Hongli currently doesn’t know about the virtuous grandson-in-law’s feigned death. Whenever you decide to tell her is at your discretion.

When the virtuous grandson-in-law returns to Dachen another day, a grand wedding will be held for you and Hongli, by then, the whole city will be decorated in red and filled with wine - your grandfather, Ji Bang.]

Well, Old Master Ji Bang truly deserves the title of an old sage. With a single marriage contract, he already calls the grandson-in-law so affectionately, and by the end, he’s become a grandfather.

The other letter, however, was from his father Xu Dajiang.

Father’s letter was much simpler, stating that he is safe in an alien realm thanks to Ji Bang’s arrangement and not to worry, hoping Xu Jin to marry soon and have children.

At least two in three years.

Next time they meet, he wants to see a big grandson.

Xu Jin could only grumble to himself.

See a big grandson? Next time they meet, Xu Jin might just end up meeting a new brother.

The letter from the Grand State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao was much more serious.

It was rather clear or rather direct.

Such arrangements were made firstly because Old Master Ji truly favored Xu Jin. Secondly, the relationship between Ji Hongli and Xu Jin was indeed unusual. Ji Hongli had once told her grandmother that after learning about Xu Jin’s death, she cried herself hoarse and almost starved herself.

Of course, the most important reason behind this arrangement was the deeper intention: the Ji family or Ji clan had already placed their bet on Xu Jin.

For the past two months, the resources the Ji family had spent on Ji Hongli were astonishing.

They feared wasting resources only, not that Ji Hongli’s cultivation level couldn’t keep up with Xu Jin’s pace.

The Ji family is a millennia-old clan that existed during Dachen’s time. Within the Ji clan, there have been known Level 8 experts and several controlled star domains.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to elevate Ji Hongli’s Divine Soul cultivation to the Fourth Tier and her Star Power cultivation to the Fourth-Order Star Condensation at the Third Layer within two months.

On one hand, this relates to the Ji clan sparing no expenses. On the other hand, low-tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures aren’t priceless and can still be found.

It’s unlike treasures for cultivators above the Fifth Tier, which are extremely precious and mostly require bartering.

As for how to settle Ji Hongli, the Grand State Preceptor also spoke quite directly: it’s up to Xu Jin’s preference.

If willing, he could keep Ji Hongli by his side. If not, he could inform him, and he would arrange for her to be by Ning Yuchan’s side.

With him around, there’s no fear of offending the Ji family.

Of course, the State Preceptor’s intention was if Xu Jin wasn’t averse to Ji Hongli, it would be best to keep her.

Even though this is an era where mighty power returns to oneself, one’s energy is still limited.

No matter who it is, to achieve any ambition, one needs a team of support, especially absolutely trustworthy allies.

[State Preceptor, Ji Hongli has arrived safely and is temporarily settled with me.]

[Alright, you can contact me directly if anything arises.]

State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao immediately responded to Xu Jin with Starlight Transmission.

In the Pill Dawn Palace of Da Chen National Daoist School, State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao, upon seeing Xu Jin’s Starlight Transmission, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[Uncle Ji, things have almost come to fruition.]

Why was Ji Hongli sent over there?

Actually, this wasn’t just Ji Bang’s idea.

Ji Bang merely suggested sending Ji Hongli to Xu Jin’s side, originally testing to see what State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao thought, but received the State Preceptor’s firm support.

Why did State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao do this?

This also counts as a bit of the State Preceptor’s personal interest.

Because Cheng Yue Xiao discovered that after Xu Jin feigned his death and went to the Galaxy Battlefield, and after his father and Jiang’er were sent into the Star Domain, Xu Jin had no attachments.

He was completely unburdened.

And Xu Jin was at the age of blood and vigor, youthfully spirited.

If he encountered some children of the Martial World on the Galaxy Battlefield, a spark could ignite into flames. If they were people from Dachen, it would be fine, but if they weren’t, who knows what path Xu Jin might take?

Ji Bang was willing, so Cheng Yue Xiao went along with it, and this unexpected turn of events unfolded.

Originally, the initial candidate was Meng Qingqiu.

This was strongly requested by Left Libationer Meng Yanhui.

But after much consideration, the State Preceptor felt that Meng Qingqiu wasn’t suitable for the time being.

It’s not that Meng Qingqiu wasn’t beautiful.

On the contrary, Meng Qingqiu was very beautiful and a hero among women.

The key was, Meng Qingqiu had an average relationship with Xu Jin.

Sending her over forcefully might not succeed.

Thus, the matter of sending Meng Qingqiu was temporarily postponed.

And the Meng Family has now also placed their entire clan’s effort into fully cultivating Meng Qingqiu, with the intention of eventually sending her to Xu Jin’s side.
