Chapter 218 - : Bai Nianyun’s Secret (2/2)

…

That night.

Marquis Martial Yang and a young man were drinking together.

“Brother Weiyan,” said Marquis Martial Yang. “Tell me. Your sister and I have known each other since we were young. Your sister was chosen to enter Grand Yin Holy Hall when she was young, and I was eventually able to enter Halberd Holy Hall. Your sister is one of five Holy Maidens of Grand Yin Holy Hall, but anyone with a bit of insight knows that although your sister is a Marquis Godfiend, she is still ranked low amongst the five Holy Maidens… There is only one person that can become Grand Yin Holy Hall Master. Your sister will eventually be married.

“According to the rules of our Black Sand Grotto-Heaven, the Holy Maidens of Grand Yin Holy Hall typically marry Halberd Holy Hall’s Godfiends. This is because our two cultivation systems complement each other, allowing our strength to improve greatly. Thus, isn’t it good for her to marry me in the future? I have never slighted her, but she has never cared about me.” Marquis Martial Yang drank his wine in agony.

“Out of the five Holy Maidens of Grand Yin Holy Hall, you ended up eyeing my sister?” asked the young man beside him as he drank. “Marquis Martial Yang, take my advice as a friend—give her up!”

“Why should I give up?” Marquis Martial Yang was furious.

The two strongest Holy Maidens of Grand Yin Holy Hall were fighting for the position of hall master. They had no interest in romantic relationships. Two other Holy Maidens had already found partners. They would marry immediately once the Grand Yin Holy Hall Master was determined.

Only Bai Nianyun had no hope of becoming hall master, nor was she willing to delve into romantic relationships.

“When I saw your sister when I was young, I was certain that I would marry her.” Marquis Martial Yang gritted his teeth.

“Actually, my sister already has someone. You…” said the young man as he drank. The moment he spoke, his expression changed.

“She has someone?” Marquis Martial Yang stared at the young man.

The young man realized that he had slipped up. He immediately said with a smile, “Pretend you didn’t hear that.”

“What do you mean by that? I heard you.” Marquis Martial Yang glared. “What happened? Brother Weiyan, we’ve been friends for so many years. You have to tell me honestly. Don’t keep me in the dark.”

The young man hesitated.

“I’ll use the mystic technique of Halberd Holy Hall to refine an Earth-level divine armament for you. Didn’t you want a soft sword? I’ll help you forge it,” said Marquis Martial Yang. “That should be enough, right?”

“I’m telling you this because I don’t want you to continue wasting your time like this.” In a low voice, the young man said, “When my sister was young, she went down the mountain to gain experience. For some reason, she was blind enough to take fancy to a mortal. She had a child. After her training ended, she returned to Black Sand Grotto-Heaven. When she returned, Grand Yin Holy Hall’s elders realized that my sister was no longer a virgin at a glance. She had no right to inherit the position as hall master.”

“She was not punished despite losing her virginity?” Marquis Martial Yang was in disbelief. “She’s still a Holy Maiden of Grand Yin Holy Hall?”

“Punish her? Who would dare?” The youth glared at him. “It’s rare for our Bai family to have a genius. Who would dare to punish her? Matriarch Yaoyue is still around! Who would dare to be impudent?”

Marquis Martial Yang fell silent.

Bai Yaoyue was a Creation Supremacy! She controlled the entire Black Sand Grotto-Heaven.

“So what if my sister can’t become Grand Yin Holy Hall Master? Now, she has become a Marquis Godfiend. Apart from the matriarch, my Bai family only has three Marquis Godfiends! My sister is the youngest. The matriarch still thinks highly of my sister,” said the young man.

“Although it’s embarrassing if the rumors about my sister spread, it’s just that—embarrassment. I’m telling you only because of our years of friendship. Don’t spread the news. You will only suffer if you spread it.”

“I wouldn’t dare. How would I dare? Matriarch Yaoyue will probably smack me to death,” said Marquis Martial Yang immediately.

One reason he wanted to marry Bai Nianyun was because Grand Yin Holy Hall’s and Halberd Holy Hall’s cultivation systems complemented each other. Marrying Bai Nianyun would be of great help to his strength. The other reason why he wanted to marry Bai Nianyun was because of her background. If Matriarch Yaoyue favored him, he would gain many benefits in the future.

It was just like how Meng Chuan received a phoenix feather because Supremacy Qin Wu favored him.

“Enough. Don’t forget that soft sword of mine.” The youth stood up and laughed.

“Who is the mortal your sister married?” asked Marquis Martial Yang. “Don’t worry. Your soft sword will definitely be forged within half a year.”

“That mortal is from the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Eastcalm Prefecture. His name is Meng Dajiang. I wonder what my sister was thinking. She fell in love with a mortal and even had a son,” said the youth as he shook his head.

He left Marquis Martial Yang alone. It was only after his sister became a Marquis Godfiend and had earned Matriarch Yaoyue’s favor that he dared to tell others about this matter. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to “slip up.”
