"If Tang Xin’s cultivation is really gone, that’s not a big deal."
Su Tianyu nodded, squinting his eyes as he said, "Wu Xiaoyu is just a maid, as soon as you are in position you can get rid of her at any ti, but as for Lin Xue, that will take so brainwork."
"Father, then please think of sothing quickly, otherwise the Lin Family and Wu Family are also prominent families, it’s easy for them to support soone for free."
Su Xiaoxi looked at Su Tianyu with pitiful eyes.
"Let think! Tang Ming helped the Su Family beco the first family in the Imperial City, it’s only fair for our Su Family to support him for life."
Su Tianyu nodded and imdiately started pondering counterasures.
In the Lin Family’s private room, Lin Qingfeng looked at Lin Xue with difficulty, "This is how things stand, now Tang Xin’s cultivation has been abolished. Your father’s and the family’s intention is for you to break off the engagent with him. After all, no matter what, the Lin Family’s eldest daughter cannot marry a useless man, right?"
"Haha, you didn’t even ask for my consent when you initially betrothed to him, so why bother asking now to annul the engagent?"
Lin Xue sneered coldly, unwilling to break off the engagent, knowing that Tang Ming must be feeling very desolate now, she couldn’t kick him when he’s down.
"If, purely from the family’s interest, I would certainly without hesitation let you annul the engagent. But since Tang Ming is your friend and Canghai’s friend, and he helped the Lin Family a lot back then, if you really want to be with him, our Lin Family does not want to appear faithless."
Lin Qingfeng sighed and said righteously, "It was because the engagent wasn’t made with your consent that you’re being given the decision now. If you truly care for him, I won’t oppose it, at worst the Lin Family will support him."
"I... I can’t let the family bear the reputation of being faithless because of ."
Lin Xue blushed and didn’t directly clarify her words.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingfeng frowned. His daughter still considers the family’s reputation, worried about the negative impact of annulling the engagent with Tang Ming—truly a good kid.
Thinking about how they initially betrothed her to Tang Ming without Lin Xue’s consent, Lin Qingfeng felt indebted to his daughter, deciding no matter what, he wouldn’t let Lin Xue sacrifice herself, even if the Lin Family is ridiculed.
"So, you an you don’t like Tang Ming, right?"
Lin Qingfeng finally spoke to seek confirmation.
"I..."
Lin Xue’s expression slightly changed, just as she was about to speak, the doorbell rang.
"Let’s talk later, first go answer the door."
Lin Qingfeng gestured for Lin Xue to go answer the door.
The door opened, and Su Tianyu strode in, "Haha, Brother Lin, am I interrupting?"
"Brother Su, no need for formalities! We’ve just settled in, what is there to disturb?"
Lin Qingfeng warmly invited Su Tianle to sit.
"Good to know I’m not interrupting, I’m here to discuss Tang Xin’s matter with Brother Lin."
Su Tianyu glanced at Lin Xue, smilingly stating his purpose.
"I’ll go watch TV in the room."
Lin Xue understandingly smiled, turning back to her bedroom.
"We ca over to check on Group Leader Tang’s situation, is there sothing to discuss?"
Lin Qingfeng looked at Su Tianyu with confusion.
"Ah, the Dark Group’s intelligence network is expansive, according to current circumstances, Tang Xin’s condition is undoubtedly confird. Visiting was just an excuse."
Su Tianyu sighed, squinting his eyes and saying, "What we should be concerned about now is our family’s daughters’ marriage to Tang Xin, right?"
"What does Brother Su an?"
Lin Qingfeng blinked in slight confusion, looking at Su Tianyu.
"Let’s speak openly, we know very well how much Tang Xin has helped our Dark Group faction. There’s no doubt we’re grateful to him."
Su Tianyu picked up his teacup, speaking seriously, "But now his cultivation is gone, he’s just an ordinary person, so there are so issues we must face."
"Such as?"
Lin Qingfeng furrowed his brows, becoming cautious inside.
"Such as Tang Xin’s marriage."
Su Tianyu finally cut to the chase, concernedly saying, "If Tang Xin were an Eight-star Martial Master and a strong cultivator, having multiple wives wouldn’t pose any issue. But now he’s just a regular person, unfit for the daughters of our prominent families, and as a regular person, he no longer has the qualification for multiple wives, otherwise, it’s against the law, isn’t it?"
On hearing this, Lin Qingfeng ca to realize that Su Tianyu was also preparing to sever ties with Tang Ming!
Now the Su Family is the first family in the Imperial City, and Su Xiaoxi is the area’s foremost young lady, indeed, Tang Ming with abolished cultivation falls short.
"Brother Su has a good point, how do you plan to handle this?"
Lin Qingfeng picked up his teacup, asking probing questions.
"I’m here to discuss a resolution with you, since Su Xiaoxi and Lin Xue are both Tang Xin’s fiancées, but only one person can beco Tang Xin’s wife."
Su Tianyu smiled earnestly, stating, "An abolished cultivation Tang Xin can only enter one of our two families, and in the future, must be under the care and protection of the family, which is no trivial matter."
"Brother Su, please speak directly, what’s your plan?"
Lin Qingfeng impatiently urged.
"The solution is simple, only one family can give their daughter in marriage to Tang Xin, since Lin Xue knows Tang Xin earlier, how about letting the Lin Family..."
Su Tianyu finally voiced his opinion.
"Ahem, ahem."
Seeing that Su Tianyu intended to push Tang Xin to the Lin Family, Lin Qingfeng imdiately coughed twice, interrupting Su Tianyu’s speech, "Lin Xue indeed knows Tang Xin earlier, but Su Xiaoxi was engaged to Tang Xin before Lin Xue, our Lin Family should act accordingly, shouldn’t we?"
"Huh?"
Su Tianyu was taken aback, he originally intended for the Lin Family to withdraw, not expecting Lin Qingfeng to be so cooperative.
"This might not be proper, there isn’t a sequence in these matters, Lin Xue and Tang Xin have an emotional foundation, they should stay together."
Seeing Lin Qingfeng intending to back out, Su Tianyu beca displeased.
"Once you enter a wealthy family, the depth is akin to the sea, from then emotions are but strangers, we family disciples have no right to speak of love, do we?"
Realizing Su Tianyu was indeed attempting to shift responsibility to the Lin Family, Lin Qingfeng imdiately said, "Moreover, Tang Xin helped the Su Family the most, the Su Family should be responsible for his future life, and having initially stolen Su Family’s betrothed, I’ve always felt guilty, so now naturally we should act with goodwill."
"Ah! Tang Xin has a great grace to our family in the Dark Group faction, both our families must ensure he has a good future. If the Lin Family decides to withdraw, then my Su Family cannot be faithless and abandon him."
Su Tianyu pretended to sigh helplessly.
