"As for the marriage arrangement between the Liao Family and the Ye Family, how about we switch to another person?" the Great Elder bowed to the parents of the Liao Family and said directly, "Shaohua is currently learning something from me and is not suitable for marrying off far away."
Speaking of marrying off far away was just an excuse.
One family was in Eastern City and the other in Western City.
It couldn’t really be considered a distant marriage, and everyone in the Hall knew that the Great Elder disapproved of this marriage union.
At this, Mother Ye was completely astonished; she stared blankly at the Great Elder, then shifted her gaze to Ye Shaohua, not expecting this turn of events at all.
And Ye Yuan’s expression became instantly rigid.
"Has the Great Elder gone mad?" Ye Yuan’s mother had long wanted to see Mother Ye embarrassed. Mother Ye was the mistress of the Ye Family, and with Ye Shaohua’s previous Water Spiritual Root, she always seemed so superior.
Suppressed for so long, there was finally an opportunity for Ye Yuan’s mother to gloat; how could she not savor the drama?
After all, that Liao family bastard was initially intended for Ye Yuan!
When another peripheral disciple standing beside Ye Yuan heard the Great Elder’s words, she also frowned.
"Perhaps it’s because she is a direct descendant, which is different from us," she said with a laugh, but her tone clearly conveyed a look of disdain.
If Ye Shaohua were still a genius with a pure single Water Spiritual Root, it would be another matter.
But now, Ye Shaohua no longer had such a talent and couldn’t cultivate at all, which was even worse than those with mixed Spiritual Roots. Yet now those with mixed Spiritual Roots were inevitably arranged by the Family.
Why does Ye Shaohua deserve such special treatment?
"The Great Elder has always favored Ye Xuan’s daughter. He may be old and muddled. Ye Yuan and the other Family disciples are all stronger than Ye Shaohua now. He doesn’t support them, yet he still takes her by his side?" The Second Elder standing aside also could not understand the Great Elder’s actions and furrowed his brows tightly.
"Enough, don’t say so much," someone beside him warned in a low voice, "The Great Elder has his own reasons; don’t let him hear you. After all, it’s the Great Elder’s decision. Can you oppose it?"
Of course, they couldn’t oppose it—at the end of the day, the Great Elder was a person of Ancestor-level importance in the Ye Family.
Everyone was just a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
When Ye Shaohua was still a genius, many were envious of her.
Now that the wheel of fate has turned and she’s become an ordinary person, those who were suppressed by her finally had a chance to rise above her. When Xuanyuan Che canceled the engagement, many were eager to humiliate her.
Even better, the genius of the Ye Family had fallen to the point of being arranged in marriage.
There were quite a few who reveled in the drama.
But unexpectedly, this arranged marriage did not happen, and the Great Elder personally stepped forward to make decisions for Ye Shaohua!
How could this not drive these people mad with jealousy? Especially Ye Yuan.
But unexpectedly, the Great Elder gave it to Ye Shaohua again! freёwebnovel.com
This remark clearly gained the support of other Ye Family members. Although they did not dare to speak as boldly as Ye Yuan, their gazes conveyed more or less the same message.
Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, the Great Elder looked at her and asked, "Unfair? What’s unfair?"
Ye Yuan pursed her lips, "Why do others have to marry into other families, but she gets a privilege?"
"I have my reasons," the Great Elder replied indifferently, "The Ye Family allows you to live without worry, even giving you free opportunities to cultivate and ensuring you live safely in this world. The families we choose for arranged marriages provide assurances, too. Of course, you can refuse the arrangement. If you wish to leave the Ye Family, you may, but from then on, the Ye Family will no longer concern itself with your affairs. No matter your fate thereafter, it will have nothing to do with us."
In this Cultivation World, ordinary people would go to great lengths to find a family’s protection.
After all, without it, one could easily be killed by a Cultivator; it’s much more chaotic outside the city.
So, there wasn’t a shred of inaccuracy in what the Great Elder said.
Yet the Ye Family did provide these people with security.
However, in Ye Yuan’s eyes, it was favoritism. She clenched her fists, looked resentfully at Ye Shaohua and the Great Elder, and said, "So this is Ye Shaohua’s reason for her privilege? In that case, I might as well not stay in this Ye Family!"
She had thought the Great Elder would keep her for her talent.
To her surprise, upon hearing her words, the Great Elder gave her a perplexed look, did not try to retain her, and eventually just said coldly, "Whatever you want."
Ye Yuan, unable to save face, laughed coldly, "Good, then don’t regret it!" Did they really think she was the fool from her last life? She wasn’t the same Ye Yuan who blindly obeyed the Family’s words, that foolish person from her last life!
With that, she turned to the other Family members, "Who else wishes to leave with me? I swear, if you follow me, Ye Yuan, you will surely become strong figures on the Cultivation Continent, and you won’t be manipulated by these people, nor will you be married off to just anyone!"
