Free Web NovelChapter 840: Chapter 840: You Can Have Another Child
Xia Qingcheng was actually a bit embarrassed. Matters concerning the intimacy of this son and daughter-in-law were really not something he should meddle in. However... he was still an elder, and he had the responsibility to show some concern about their relationship issues, so it was better for him to explain.
Although... he himself was a person of few desires, of course, he also had no choice but to be that way.
Xia Qingcheng’s old face was a slight shade of red. Seeing that Su Yu wasn’t saying anything, he turned his face slightly, gave a light cough, and said, "Ahem, is there any other problem?"
Su Yu glanced at him, then said, "Jing’er agreed to me taking on the position of clan leader, but this isn’t my wish. I now want to return it to you, but I assume you won’t accept it. However, I have very important things to do, so before that, it’s best that you don’t announce the change of leadership just yet."
He took on this leadership role completely unaware, but truth be told, Su Yu greatly disliked the burdens of power. However, just as he had no choice but to take over the Spirit Flame Sect, he also had no choice now but to take on the role of clan leader.
Xia Qingcheng nodded, "That’s no problem. As the clan leader of the Xia Clan, according to clan rules, you cannot leave the Xia Clan. However, if one day you break through to the Divine Level and modify the clan rules of the Xia Clan, then how to decide will be your affair. Even if you want someone else to be the clan leader, it’s not impossible."
At that time, Xia Qingcheng had Han Jing agree to let Su Yu take on the role of clan leader. Though he had a little selfish motive, fearing that once Su Yu got better, he would leave, leaving no successor, and it would be impossible to explain to the ancestors. Actually, becoming the clan leader, after going through the inheritance ceremony at the Blood Purification Pool, was more beneficial for Su Yu in refining the Shengxue Pearl.
However, he was not an unenlightened elder. Su Yu didn’t grow up in the Xia Clan and Xia Ji caused him so much harm, so he understood why Su Yu had no affection or sense of responsibility for the Xia Clan. But he couldn’t change this reality, nor could he give birth to another brother or sister to take on the leadership, so this important task of inheritance could only be handed over to Su Yu.
If he could break through to the Divine Level to modify the clan rules, then how he wanted to change them would be his own affair. Even if he couldn’t break through, well, he could pass the position of clan leader to Xiao Xue or give birth to someone else to take the position.
The bloodline of the Xia Clan was dwindling, but Su Yu and Han Jing were different. Both of them had special constitutions. If they were to pair with others, there was a high chance they wouldn’t have children. Especially Han Jing, whose Extreme Cold Constitution meant the chance of having children was zero. But if the two of them were together, it was different. Isn’t there a term in this world called ’perfect match’? These two people should be that kind of perfect match, a destined bond.
Thinking of this, Xia Qingcheng added, "If you really don’t want to be the clan leader, leave Xiao Xue here, or you don’t need to rush to leave, you could leave after having another child. Think about it."
Su Yu...
So this old man not only had plans for him but also for his daughter, including his potential future son?
...Wishful thinking!
Su Yu turned his head and walked away.
Yet, as he expected, the door to the room was locked from the inside. Furthermore... Han Jing had set up a barrier in the room, with the clear intention to keep people out.
