Chapter 2: Chapter 002-Negotiations
**-----Xia Manor-----**
Xia hongyi is really nervous right now. After all, the young master of heavenly sword villa is sitting right in front of him. Though Ling yun is lot younger than him, he can uproot him and his business with just his words.
Seeing xia hongyi fidgeting in his seat, Ling yun gave him a smile and said, "You don't have to be afraid, elder xia. Instead it can be opportunity for you if you can grasp it."
Seeing that Ling yun doesn't seem to have any bad intention, Xia hongyi sighed with relief and said, "Thank you, young master for giving me the opportunity. If it isn't presumptuous, can you please elaborate?"
Ling yun maintained his smile and said, "Of course, elder xia. Actually, it's related to your children, especially your elder daughter. I want to give them a place in heavenly sword villa if they are really as talented as I heard."
Xia hongyi became ecstatic after hearing that. In this cultivation world, every parents want their child to become strong. Though xia hongyi is rich, he only managed to get some low level cultivation art for his children to practice.
Even then, his daughter managed to shock the whole city with her cultivation speed which is 8th level elementary profound realm now. If she can join heavenly sword villa, her future will be unimaginable.
Without delay, he ordered his servant to quickly call his children. It took only a few minutes for xia qingyue and yuanba to come.
Ling yun looked at them with a glint in his eyes. Just like the book described, xia qingyue is really a beauty even at this age. When his eyes fell on her, she looked back at him with such cold eyes that a girl her age should not have.
As for xia yuanba, there is only one word to describe him, huge. He is nothing like a boy his age should look like. Anyway, Ling yun gently smiled at them and said, "Come closer, you two. I need to check your profound veins."
They looked at their father first and came closer to him only when their father nodded. He didn't need to check anything since he already knows but others don't.
So, he asked Ling wan to check their profound veins. After checking, his face became astonished. He quickly looked at Ling yun with admiration and said, "Young master, your eyes are truly sharp. I don't know how you managed to find such genius in such small city. Though I can't say surely about the boy, but this girl has a lot of potential and if cultivated properly, she can surely become a powerhouse."
Xia hongyi couldn't hold back his smile after hearing this.
Ling yun also smiled at Ling wan's word. Nobody knows better than him how much potential xia qingyue and yuanba has. Ling yun then looked at xia hongyi and said with some seriousness in his voice, "Now I want to ask you something, elder xia. And it's your decision that will determine your children's future."
Seeing the seriousness in Ling yun's voice, xia hongyi also replied in a solemn voice, "Young master, please ask."
"I want to take your daughter as my wife."
Not to mention Xia hongyi, even Ling wan was astonished after hearing that. Though his astonishment turned into a thoughtful expression soon after.
*Young master is really smart. Judging from the girl's talent, she can surely become a throne maybe even a tyrant. By marrying her, she will forever be tied with our heavenly sword villa,* Ling wan thought.
Different from Ling wan, Xia hongyi is panicking right now. He has already engaged his daughter with xiao che. But he doesn't want to miss this golden opportunity as well. Not to mention, he dare not to think what will happen with his clan if he rejects Ling yun.
As for Xia qingyue, she didn't voice out her opinion instead just looked at her father. She would accept whatever her father decides for her.
Looking at Xia hongyi's face, Ling yun knew that the man wouldn't be able to come to an answer himself. So, he decided to push him a little.
"Elder xia, I know what's bothering you. It's about xiao che, right? How about I solve it for you?"
"What do you mean, young master?" Xia hongyi asked with a tensed voice.
"You will understand when I talk to them. Though you can rest assured that I will not bring any harm upon them. After I talk to them, they will revoke xiao che's marriage with Xia qingyue willingly"
Ling yun added, "Then you shouldn't have any problem with marrying off your daughter with me, right?"
Though Xia hongyi is doubtful and worried about xiao clan, he didn't voice out his thoughts instead replied with a smile, "Thank you, young master for your kindness. As long as they agree to revoke the marriage, then I have no problem."
Ling yun smiled hearing that.
*Though I can just forcefully acquire all this without needing to go through this cumbersome process, but then I will only gain people's anger and potentially create some unnecessary enemy for myself. It is safer to do things peacefully first.*
.....
Xiao clan resident-
Ling yun and Xia hongyi is now sitting in the center hall of xiao clan with xiao clan leader and its elders.
"Young master Ling, I can't describe my happiness that you have blessed us with your presence. May I know what do you need from us? We will try our best to meet your requirements no matter how hard it may be," Xiao clan leader Xiao yunhai said in a bootlicking manner.
Ling yun though doesn't like this kind of person, he didn't show any signs in his face. From early age, he has been practising how to keep his facial muscles in check. Now, he can proudly say that 99% of the time he can control his facial expression.
Instead of replying to Xiao yunhai, Ling yun turned his face towards Xiao che's grandfather, Xiao Lie and said, "The reason I came here is because I have something important to discuss with you."
Xiao Lie got shocked hearing that. After all, he is just a elder of lowly clan. How can someone like Ling yun have anythimg important to discuss with him! But then he looked at Xia hongyi and something clicked inside his mind.
*Maybe it has something to do with Xia qingyue. Sigh! No matter what, I can't anger heavenly sword villa. Otherwise, the fate of this whole city will be dire,* Xiao Lie thought
"May I ask what it is about, young master?"
"Well, it is about the marriage contract you have between xiao che and xia qingyue. You see, xia qingyue has a lot of talent in cultivation and so I plan to make her my wife."
"Don't worry though. I am not a forceful person. So, you can state any condition you might have and I will try my best to fulfill." Ling yun said.
"Hahaha... Young master, you are truly merciful and wise. Then, I want-" Xiao yunhai shut his mouth mid sentence because of the poweful pressure he just felt.
"Know your place, Xiao yunhai. Young master was talking to elder Xiao Lie, NOT YOU," Ling wan said while releasing a bit of his profound energy.
Everyone except Ling yun started sweating feeling that kind of energy. Ling yun waved his hand and said, "Stand down, elder wan. I am sure they won't make any more mistake. Isn't that right, Xiao yunhai?"
"Yes, yes, I apologise for my early insolence, young master."
Ling yun didn't bother with him anymore, instead he turned towards Xiao lie and asked him to put forth his conditions.
"Then I will not hesitate anymore, young master. Actually, I have two condition if you don't mind."
"Go on."
"First, I want you to treat my grandson's profound veins. Is it possible?"
"Yes, it is. Though you will have to wait a few years for it," Ling yun already guessed what Xiao Lie was going to ask and he has few plans for it. That's why he doesn't want to fix xiao che's profound veins right now.
Ling yun is going to wait until xiao che merges with his other soul. Only after talking to the real 'yun che', he will decide whether to fix him or kill him.
"How long my che'er has to wait, young master?" Xiao Lie asked with a hopeful voice.
"Well, it will take 7-8 years of time since I have to gather some rare medicines," Ling yun gave them a believable excuse as to why xiao che can't be cured now.
