Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 697 - 255: Song Yinghan! Next One! _2
Yuchi couldn't help but laugh: "Why should you care? I just like it. What about you?"
Then, seeing the young man's disgruntled look, he asked, "So why did you go to that brothel? Did something happen?"
The young man sighed, glancing timidly at his old man, and said helplessly, "It's because my dad is insistent on setting me up with a Dao companion!"
Then the young man said a lot, and Yuchi understood it all.
The young man clearly came for a matchmaking meeting, his father and another person are long-time friends. These two guys even ventured together in their younger days, a bond forged through life and death experiences.
So earlier, his father went to another observatory by invitation, then started talking about this with his old friend. His old friend said there's a very nice girl, his old friend's daughter, and if the two of them could get together, it would be a great match.
"That's great, right? The other party is also from the observatory, and also a Da Tian. You two make a perfect match," Yuchi said, as they sat in a corner table, sipping tea.
"The thing is, I don't like her. I already have someone I like. I have no interest in this whole matchmaking thing. It's all about forcing two people together!"
"You're not a cultivator, you might not understand. It's not the same as ordinary people's union. If there's no affection between us, even if we cultivate together, it won't work, and it might even become a Heart Demon that would directly affect my future happiness."
The young man spoke despondently, gratefully nodded at Yuchi, took a cup of tea from him, and added plaintively, "I didn't even want to come to this matchmaking thing, but my dad just wouldn't give up. He said after raising me for so many years, I should show some respect? What can I do? They like to say stuff like that, as if I should be so grateful just for being raised. Did I have any choice back then?"
"If I had a choice, I'd rather be a mortal, so my marriage wouldn't be tightly controlled by them, making it impossible for me to be with the person I like, and forcing me to meet some so-called Da Tian girl. It sends shivers down my spine!"
It seems like the feelings were the same as Yinghan's, both liked a mortal, Yuchi couldn't help but laugh. This buddy really has a lot in common with me, huh?
"I haven't asked your name yet?" Yuchi laughed and asked.
"Ah, my name is Shangguan Congwen, you can just call me Brother Wen." Shangguan Congwen replied directly, "And you?"
"I'm Yuchi. Just call me Brother Wei."
"Brother Wen!"
"Brother Wei!"
The two of them became acquainted just like that.
Yuchi looked at the others gathered, whispering, he smiled and asked, "From the way you look, you're in love with a mortal girl, aren't you?"
Shangguan Congwen nodded, "Yes, the key is she doesn't even know I'm a cultivator. She just purely wants to be with me. Do you understand that feeling?"
With some passion in his eyes, Shangguan Congwen looked at Yuchi expectantly, "She doesn't want anything from me, not with me because of my power, or because I'm from the observatory. She purely likes me, not my power and riches. This pure kind of love is what I need."
"Otherwise, if I really wanted to just find a girl, that'd be too easy. I could just reveal my power, and countless 'true loves' would appear, but that kind of love is nothing but bullshit. It only values my wealth. How could I like them? It's just disgusting."
"But my dad doesn't see it that way. He still insists on matching social status, saying I shouldn't have a short-sighted view and that I'll thank him in the future."
"What can I say? That shuts me down completely, making me feel really frustrated. I wandered to the city with nothing to do and ended up in a brothel, then we met... eh, looking back now, it's like we were destined to meet."
Shangguan Congwen, although appearing much older than Yuchi, probably around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, treated Yuchi, who is ten years younger, like a peer. Communication between peers naturally has no restraint, saying whatever comes to mind.
Plus, the other person is from the Imperial Decree Department, and people from the Imperial Decree Department, even if they know such things, won't spread it around unnecessarily. They understand human affairs and know what should or shouldn't be done.
"I understand that feeling," Yuchi said quietly.
"Ah, really?" Shangguan Congwen was immediately surprised.
"Yes,"
Yuchi said directly:
"To be honest, there's also a rather powerful girl who likes me. She's also a cultivator but her father doesn't agree with us being together. He used to threaten me relentlessly. Your situation is already pretty good; at least you don't have any personal issues. But me? I'm just a mortal. Even if her father doesn't agree, I can't just off my future father-in-law, can I?"
