Outside the Book Collection Building.
"The Eighth Prince should know, I was an ordinary person born and raised in Luoshui County. For the first eighteen years, I hadn’t even left the county. My understanding of the world and historical knowledge were extrely shallow, and my understanding of Martial Arts was rely superficial," Jiang Ning said.
"It seems Brother Jiang is not only strong in external power but also strong at heart!" Ji Minghao sighed lightly towards Jiang Ning.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled.
"I was once a scholar!"
"A scholar?" Ji Minghao’s face showed slight surprise as he looked at Jiang Ning in astonishnt.
Then he smiled and said, "It seems I underestimated Brother Jiang. Even without Martial Arts talent, Brother Jiang could beco a great scholar or even a person revered like entering a temple."
Jiang Ning imdiately smiled.
"Eighth Prince, you’re joking, my mory is just a bit better! Passing the scholar exam, even becoming a learned man isn’t too hard, but I have no confidence to go further up."
"With such confidence, why didn’t Brother Jiang take the opportunity to attempt the scholarly exam this year and beco a double scholar, which would also be a good story," Ji Minghao said.
Jiang Ning imdiately shook his head, "The Eighth Prince should know!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Minghao gave a bitter smile.
"For Brother Jiang to have co this far, it’s truly extraordinary. He even sees through the thods the court relies on for governance within the Divine Dao."
"I see through them!" Jiang Ning nodded and continued, "That’s why in literary exams, I didn’t continue to seek higher qualifications!"
"Remarkable!" Ji Minghao sighed.
During the conversation,
the two of them had already arrived at the lakeside.
The blue waves gently rippling, creating waves.
"Brother Jiang, do you know why I detoured back to find you?" Ji Minghao asked.
"Not really sure!" Jiang Ning shook his head.
"Just now on the way back, Shiqi was depressed the whole way back. No matter how I questioned her, she wouldn’t say a word!" Ji Minghao opened up.
Then continued, "But I can guess so things. As a Princess of the Imperial Family, though favored by the father, marriage is also a political affair, hard to make her own decisions. The path for you two to be together is filled with difficulties."
"Shiqi knew this a long ti ago."
"So before you ca to the Royal Capital, Shiqi resolutely told the father, causing the whole city to know. She also understood this would cause substantial damage to her reputation."
"She left herself no retreat."
"I don’t understand how just eting you once could kindle such intense feelings."
"But she is my sister, and I’m willing to support her!"
"And I’ve also understood Brother Jiang’s character. I believe Brother Jiang is soone worth entrusting."
"Within the Imperial Family, aside from the father, the mother, and , there is no one else who truly loves her!"
"Mother passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, and now the father is bedridden long term."
"If I don’t support her, there won’t be anyone else who will stand firmly by her side and support her."
anwhile,
Hearing Ji Minghao’s words, Jiang Ning’s heart beca extrely complex.
His heart grew a bit heavier.
Then, he sighed.
"Eighth Prince, I just told the Seventeenth Princess sothing."
"What is it?" Ji Minghao asked.
"There is already a beloved by my side," Jiang Ning said.
"That’s nothing!" Ji Minghao chuckled, then continued to laugh, "I thought it was sothing big!"
After he finished, he continued, "In Great Xia, who among the good n doesn’t have a harem of wives."
"For us Martial Arts people, as the realm ascends, life evolves, and fertility becos exceedingly difficult."
"If you only marry one wife, how will the lineage continue?"
"At most one generation, then the lineage would end."
"With Brother Jiang about to step into the Martial Arts Mythology domain, having descendants has already beco an extrely difficult matter."
"Will Brother Jiang truly only marry one wife in the future?"
"For us Martial Arts strongn, with strong bodies, there is no fear that multiple wives would be an issue physically."
"To continue the lineage, marrying wives and taking concubines is a very normal and reasonable thing."
"If Brother Jiang rely has a beloved, this is perfectly normal."
At this point, Ji Minghao smiled and continued, "If Brother Jiang didn’t even have a beloved, I would start to doubt Brother Jiang’s sexual orientation."
Hearing these words, Jiang Ning was slightly startled in his heart.
He already knew, that as the Martial Arts realm ascends, having descendants, and giving birth to future generations becos extrely difficult.
Therefore, during his ti with Wang Qintan, he didn’t take any asures.
But the aspect Ji Minghao ntioned was sothing he hadn’t thought of before.
Now, after Ji Minghao’s words, he understood the reasoning within.
As Ji Minghao stated, if a Martial Arts strongman wishes to have descendants, it’s certainly impossible to marry only one person and place all hopes on one person.
He understood why Ji Minghao was so dismissive of what he just said.
Because in this world, what Ji Minghao described is the orthodox thought.
"I misunderstood!" Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile.
"So, the matter Brother Jiang ntioned is no matter at all! Although I’m Shiqi’s elder brother, I never expected Brother Jiang to only marry her in the future. However, I do have a request for Brother Jiang. As a princess of the Great Xia Royal Family, possessing royal blood, even if she cannot be the main wife, she must at least be an equal wife. She must not be rely a concubine," Ji Minghao looked into Jiang Ning’s eyes, and spoke sincerely.
"It’s still too early to discuss this," Jiang Ning said.
"Regardless of whether it is early or not, I need a promise from Brother Jiang. This is what a brother should do for his dear sister," Ji Minghao, still looking earnestly at Jiang Ning, said.
