Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

Chapter 742: Chapter 290: Life’s Major Events (Part 3)

In this world, polygamy is quite common, and for those powerful women, polyandry is not uncommon either. But usually, the "many" side is relatively weaker.

Fan Qi couldn’t see any way his son’s three companions could be considered weak.

The forces behind them definitely couldn’t accept them being among the "lesser" ones, or even equal; there had to be a hierarchy.

Fan Qi found it quite troublesome.

Of course, there’s another solution, which is for Fan Wubing’s status in this world to surpass the forces behind them.

But given the current situation, it was clearly unrealistic.

Luo Qingyao noticed Fan Qi’s distress and quietly asked,

"Uncle, am I causing you trouble?"

Fan Qi closed his eyes and thought, what a good child, worrying about causing trouble for him... How could such a good child be treated unfairly?

For the sake of my son’s happiness, as his father, I have to work hard! I must strive to make the Fan Family one of the top powers! Fan Qi thought as he smiled and said,

"Of course not. You don’t need to worry about these things, just get along well with Wubing. These matters should be left to us adults to worry about."

Luo Qingyao shyly said, "I’m not a little kid anymore."

At this moment, Fan Wubing suddenly appeared, unable to resist teasing,

"I say, old dad, what are you worrying about again!"

"Senior brother!" Luo Qingyao exclaimed with joy, "You’re back!"

Fan Wubing rolled his eyes, "I’ve been back for a while. I was just on the side."

"Then why didn’t you come out!"

"I just wanted to see how you and dad were getting along." Fan Wubing teased, "But I really couldn’t hold back. Dad, stop worrying about nothing! Leave our matters alone, you can’t even handle your own affairs, so focus on the Fan Family."

Fan Qi said angrily,

"What kind of father doesn’t worry about his son’s big life decisions!"

"We’re not a normal family, we’re Cultivators, Cultivators!" Fan Wubing said, "Out of a hundred Cultivators, can you find even two who marry like ordinary people?"

Fan Qi slapped the table, "Then just tell me directly how you plan to arrange these three!"

Fan Wubing glanced at Luo Qingyao, who looked down, avoiding eye contact.

He took a deep breath and said,

"Their lives should obviously be arranged by themselves."

"Qingyao wants to marry you, tell me if you will or won’t."

"Dad, you’re being unreasonable."

Luo Qingyao visibly deflated, like going moldy, becoming gloomy.

Fan Wubing hurriedly said, "Qingyao, that’s not what I mean." He squatted in front of Luo Qingyao and said, "Listen, Qingyao. My future is uncertain and full of unknowns. I can’t give you a stable family... Although asking you to wait makes me seem like a heartless man, but... please give me a little more time. There are things I need to figure out. After I figure them out, whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it, okay?"

Luo Qingyao brightened up again and nodded, saying,

"Okay! But I want to be with Senior Brother. This time, don’t leave me behind to go ahead alone."

Fan Wubing was a bit stunned and smiled,

"No problem."

Fan Qi was somewhat helpless,

"You, this child, speaking so confidently and yet it’s clearly a willful thing."

Fan Wubing said, "Dad, since you like Qingyao so much, you wouldn’t want her to marry someone seen by the world as a defiant person, right."

"Well..."

"That’s why I said, there are things I must figure out."

Fan Qi suddenly realized that maybe this is his son’s responsible side.

Fan Wubing smiled and said,

"Also, if I can’t marry all three of them into the family, then I’d rather live alone. But to do this, I must stand above the White Jade Capital, right."

"Son, that is not a small goal."

Fan Qi couldn’t even imagine what it means to stand above the White Jade Capital.

Fan Wubing quietly said,

"Of course, it’s not a small goal... because it’s not even a goal; it’s just a step I need to go through to figure everything out."

At this point in the conversation, Fan Qi had nothing more to say.

As a father, he certainly wouldn’t crush his son’s vision for the sake of romance.

His late wife Lan Sisi once told him something he always kept in mind,

"Raising children is to allow them not to be troubled by the need to pass on the family line."
