Chapter 2010: Chapter 2010: The Marriage Arrangent is Not Easy to Change
She didn’t want to bear the sin of breaking off an engagent, so she could only bla the Tusu Sect for the mistake.
Who would have thought that the Tusu Sect, over these years, truly never sent anyone to bring up her arranged marriage? If it were soone else, having the Sect Master of the Number One Sect’s daughter as a daughter-in-law, they would have been overjoyed, wouldn’t they?
Little did she know that the Master of the Tusu Sect had inquired indirectly about her temperant and did not wish for his son to marry a woman who would only cause trouble.
Thus, while the Sect Master of the Eternal Night Sect had not ntioned it in his letters, they too pretended to be unaware.
“You have reached the age to marry; it cannot go on like this indefinitely. Hence, your father thinks this marriage arrangent should be…”
“Father, I don’t want to marry so far away!”
Sect Master Leng hadn’t finished speaking when Leng Yiyu imdiately cried out.
To make her marry to such a distant place would be better off dead. But once the words escaped her, she felt they were improper, as this was an engagent personally set by her grandfather after all.
Even if she was averse to it, she could only delay for the ti being and hope for soone from the Tusu Sect to break off the engagent.
Yet the words had been said, and she could not take them back, so she had to try to repair the situation with good words, thinking of Leng Yikun, and then her mother.
“Father, my brother is no longer here, and Mother only has as her child. I wish to stay at the Eternal Night Sect to fulfill my filial duties to Father and Mother.”
She bowed her head low, giving the impression of being sowhat pitiable, and said.
Sect Master Leng: “…”
Filial piety?
How did those words leave her mouth? Did she intend to be so filial as to send him to his grave?
“This Sect Master shares the sa sentint. Without Yi Kun, your mother only has you by her side. It is not good to marry you off so far away. Your mother’s side should have soone who’s a caring presence.”
It’s exactly because you are too caring that this Sect Master wants to marry you off. Otherwise, it’s not just who you mother and daughter threaten, but the entire Eternal Night Sect.
He added this sentint inwardly.
“Yes, Father, isn’t that right?” Leng Yiyu quickly echoed her father’s sentints.
As long as she didn’t have to marry so far away that she might never return to the Eternal Night Sect, she was willing to say anything. That Insignificant Sect, who even cared about it?
“But then again, your engagent with the Tusu Sect was arranged by your grandfather, and it’s not quite appropriate to change that,” Sect Master Leng spoke with a troubled expression on his face.
“Moreover, recently our Sect has received news that the Tusu Sect seems to have already sent soone here, wishing to discuss with the current sect master your engagent to their Young Sect Master.”
He couldn’t understand before why the Tusu Sect had not shown any signs of activity. Had the Master of the Tusu Sect forgotten about the engagent settled with his Eternal Night Sect?
Now it seed that it was not that the Master of the Tusu Sect had forgotten, but that he did not wish to ntion it, probably having heard about what his daughter was like.
No, he would have to inform the Second Elder, that upon sending her over, he’d need to reassure the Master of the Tusu Sect with so certainty. As for such a troubleso daughter-in-law, how his son should educate her was his business.
After all, once she was handed over, whatever she turned into was up to her.
If she behaved properly, that was fine; at least the Master of the Tusu Sect could value Sect Master Leng’s face and treat the daughter-in-law well. But if she continued to misbehave, then there wouldn’t be any need to consider any relationship.
He couldn’t, just for the sake of his own peace, harm an entire Sect like the Tusu Sect, could he?
