...
The next morning, Ling Changqing summoned Cen Wenzhong again and gave an affirmative reply to the Cen Family’s requests.
Cen Wenzhong immediately proposed a marriage alliance and formally introduced Cen Xuyi, who had revealed her true face, to Ling Changqing.
Although Ling Changqing was somewhat surprised, he did not refuse, which allowed Cen Wenzhong to breathe a sigh of relief.
At noon, Ling Qiyue hosted a banquet for the father and daughter.
After the banquet, Ling Qiyue had Cen Xuyi stay behind to chat. They got along quite pleasantly, which did much to calm the anxious female cultivator’s heart.
Half a month passed in a flash. The takeover party organized by the Ling Family was ready, and Ling Changqing decided to personally lead them to the Linsha Sea Region.
Ling Qiyue and Ling Yulu remained on Li Long Continent to hold down the fort, along with Su Qinglian. Meanwhile, Tang Qiu Yao, Qin Yun, Ling Yuzhu, and Fu Yin Xue would accompany Ling Changqing.
Of course, Bai Qingyi and the other women were all undergoing cultivation in seclusion within the Era Star Palace Grotto Heaven Blessed Land. They could emerge to provide support should anything happen, though Ling Changqing doubted they would have a reason to act.
Nearly two thousand Ling Family cultivators were organized into six teams, each boarding a large Tianzhou Skyboat. Under Cen Wenzhong’s guidance, they ascended into the sky and soon vanished beyond the horizon.
These Tianzhou Skyboats were all Treasure Level vehicles purchased from the Xingyun sun Commerce Association. Not only were they incredibly fast, but their defenses were also quite impressive, making them perfectly suited for transporting large numbers of cultivators over long distances.
On the foredeck of the flagship, Cen Wenzhong had a table of food and wine set up, inviting Ling Changqing to join him for a drink.
Dressed in a snow-white Magical Robe, Cen Xuyi’s attire could hardly conceal the enchanting, fiery curves of her figure. Her legs were long and slender, her slim waist swayed with her movements, and her beautiful, jade-like face bloomed with a heartfelt smile.
Although she had not yet begun to serve Ling Changqing, she had discovered over the past several days that her young husband-to-be was not difficult to deal with at all. The same could be said for his primary wife, Ling Qiyue, and the other women of his household.
Therefore, the worries that had weighed on Cen Xuyi’s heart were mostly laid to rest, and she began to look forward to her new life after marrying into the Ling Family.
"...Husband, I was wondering, which Nascent Soul True Monarch does the Ling Family plan to station on Linsha Continent to preside over the territory?"
Cen Xuyi asked in a soft voice as she filled Ling Changqing’s cup with Spirit Wine.
"For now, it will be Ling Yuzhu and Fu Yin Xue,"
Ling Changqing said. "And they won’t stay for too long. I’ll arrange for their sisters to relieve them in regular rotations. This will become standard practice."
’The women need to Dual Cultivate with me, so of course they wouldn’t want to be stationed abroad long-term. A rotation system is for the best.’
"That would be perfect."
Cen Xuyi said with a smile. The deterrent force of two Nascent Soul True Monarchs was undeniable, and with Cen Deyang also present, it would be more than enough to guarantee peace and stability in the Linsha Sea Region.
In Ling Changqing’s eyes, Linsha Continent wasn’t just vast, with a suitable environment and abundant resources; it was an auspicious land that possessed a Rank Four High-grade Spirit Vein. ’How could I possibly let it fall into the hands of outsiders?’
That was why he planned to station two Nascent Soul True Monarchs there year-round. In the future, when conditions permitted, he would add a third. A certain number of Golden Core Masters would also be indispensable.
The other large islands that possessed Grade Three and Grade Four Spirit Veins would have to be managed the same way. No outsiders would be allowed to touch them.
"Your arrangements are excellent, Husband. Once the Ling Clan Members have finished taking over these island assets, our own clan members can begin relocating in batches."
Cen Xuyi continued, "However, because our clan is so large, it will probably take several years to finish relocating everyone, won’t it?"
According to their agreement, all direct and collateral members of the Cen Family had to migrate to Broken Star Continent, with no excuses permitted.
Although Broken Star Continent was large enough to support the entire Cen Family, their lives would certainly not be as comfortable as they were now.
For the clan members who controlled power and resources, being asked to obediently give up everything they had for a future of hardship was a fate worse than death.
