Chapter 6169 I’m Not Willing
David raised his eyebrows slightly.
Matched by blood ties and become a Taoist couple?
Isn’t this just a forced marriage?
A glimmer of doubt crossed his mind, but he remained expressionless and simply nodded.
Seeing his calm expression, Vice Master Qingxu thought he was interested and continued, “Young friend Chen, since you possess a Saint-level bloodline, I naturally won’t treat you badly.”
To be honest, my sect happens to have a female disciple with an extraordinary bloodline, just one step away from reaching the Saint rank. She and you are a destined couple. I will arrange her marriage to you; what do you think?
Chen looked at him quietly without saying a word.
Seeing Chen’s silence, Vice-Master Qingxu thought he was hesitating and said with a smile, “Young man Chen, there’s no need to worry. Leave this to me. Someone, go and invite Miss Yun Yao here.”
One of the students accepted the order and left.
A moment later, a slender figure walked in from outside the hall.
She was a young woman, wearing a plain white dress, with her long black hair flowing down to her waist.
Her face was very beautiful, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn water, but there was a hint of coldness and a trace of sadness in her eyes.
He walked into the hall, bowed slightly, and said in a clear and cold voice, “Yun Yao greets the Deputy Sect Leader.”
The Qingxu Sect’s Vice Sect Leader smiled and waved his hand: “Yun Yao, there’s no need for formalities. Come, let me introduce you. This is young friend David, who possesses a Saint-level bloodline and is extremely talented.”
“I hereby marry you to him; from now on, you will be a Taoist couple, practicing together and understanding the Great Way.”
Hearing that, Yun Yao’s expression changed slightly. She raised her head and looked at David.
In that gaze, there was observation, doubt, and a little…resistance.
She bit her lip and whispered, “Vice Sect Leader, Yun Yao… is unwilling.”
Vice Leader Qingxu’s smile instantly froze.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.
A moment later, the smile on Vice Master Qingxu’s face slowly faded, replaced by a hint of coldness.
He looked at Yun Yao, his tone still gentle, but containing an undeniable authority: “Yun Yao, what do you mean?”
Yun Yao lowered her head, her voice still cold, but trembling slightly: “Vice Sect Master, Yun Yao only wants to focus on cultivation, and doesn’t want… doesn’t want to cultivate with anyone.”
Vice Leader Qingxu was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
The smile was completely different from the gentle smile before; it contained a hint of mockery.
“Yun Yao, you’ve been a member of the sect for three years, enjoying countless resources, and your cultivation has risen from the sixth rank of the Upper Immortal Realm to the eighth rank. In these three years, do you know how much effort the sect has poured into you?”
Now, I have found a Taoist partner for you who has the bloodline of a saint; this is your destiny, your blessing. Yet you say you don’t want it?”
Yun Yao raised her head and looked at the Qingxu Vice Sect Master, a stubborn glint flashing in her eyes. “Vice Sect Master, Yun Yao is willing to repay the sect, even if it means working like a slave. But… but regarding this Daoist couple, Yun Yao really can’t accept it.”
Vice Leader Qingxu’s smile widened, but it didn’t reach his eyes.
“Pay back? What will you use to pay back?”
His tone remained gentle, yet it carried an unseen pressure: “Yun Yao, I’m doing this for your own good. Saint-level bloodlines are only one in ten thousand. If you miss this opportunity, it will be too late to regret it later.”
Yun Yao bit her lip and didn’t speak, but tears were already welling up in her eyes.
Chen observed this scene quietly, his brows slightly furrowed.
This Holy Puritan Church… clearly has problems.
The so-called respect for lineage and the so-called dual cultivation to achieve enlightenment are nothing more than forced matchmaking, which forces female cultivators to engage in dual cultivation with others.
Those who are unwilling will be forced or persuaded, like Yun Yao, and even…
He didn’t speak, he just watched quietly.
Seeing Yun Yao remain silent, the smile on Vice Leader Qingxu’s face slowly disappeared, replaced by a faint coldness.
“Yun Yao, I will ask you one more time, are you willing?”
Yun Yao raised her head, tears finally streaming down her face, but she still stubbornly shook her head.
“I don’t want to.”
Vice Master Qingxu was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed.
“Okay, I didn’t want it to be like this. Since you insist on not doing it, then don’t blame me.”
He raised his hand and pulled a pill from his sleeve. The pill was pink and gave off a faint, exotic aroma.
When Yun Yao saw the pill, her face turned pale, and she instinctively took a step back.
