Chapter 2097: Stubborn Wang Qingfeng, Qingcheng Seeks Marriage

All three female cultivators belong to the Ascending Faction and possess excellent character, backgrounds, and aptitudes. Marrying any of them would significantly benefit Wang Qingcheng.

Wang Changsheng nodded. "I've been in seclusion for years and am unaware of their situations," he said. "Madam, please tell me about them."

"Senior Brother Sun's great-granddaughter, Sun Yuejiao, is quite suitable," Wang Ruyan said with a smile. "She's currently in the early Nascent Soul stage, about Qingcheng's age, and is gentle, virtuous, and generous. She's a good match for Qingcheng, and Senior Brother Sun is also very fond of Qingcheng."

Over the years, Wang Ruyan had frequently interacted with fellow disciples stationed at Xuanyue Mountain, discreetly searching for a suitable daughter-in-law.

Sun Yuejiao's great-great-grandfather, Sun Yang, is a Soul Transformation cultivator. The Sun family comprises hundreds of members, all disciples of Zhenhai Palace, who have formed marital alliances with numerous families and are related to several Void Refinement cultivators.

Wang Changsheng nodded. As if sensing something, he turned his head to look outside and saw Wang Qingfeng entering.

Wang Qingfeng's clothes bore traces of brown blood, he carried a treasured saber on his back, and a faint aura of malevolence emanated from him, suggesting he had seen much combat over the years.

"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, I'm back."

Wang Qingfeng offered a slight smile as he greeted them.

"Qingfeng, you're not getting any younger; it's time to settle down. Take a look at these fellow disciples. Is there anyone you like?"

Wang Changsheng handed the portraits to Wang Qingfeng, who glanced at them and shook his head. "Father," he said, "I don't like any of them."

"Their character, backgrounds, and aptitudes are all excellent. You could try spending more time with them. Your mother and I, for example, got married after we interacted more and discovered each other's good qualities." Wang Changsheng offered his advice, not genuinely pressing Wang Qingfeng to marry, but rather wanting to see if his personality had changed.

"I've interacted with them," Wang Qingfeng stated. "I don't have any feelings for them. They're fine as fellow disciples, but not as cultivation partners."

Wang Qingfeng remained firm in his opinion, showing no sign of changing his mind.

Wang Changsheng shook his head, sighing softly. So many years had passed, yet Wang Qingfeng remained as straightforward as ever, always speaking his mind without a hint of subtlety.

Believing Wang Changsheng was about to admonish Wang Qingfeng, Wang Qingcheng quickly spoke up on his behalf. "Father," he interjected, "my brother isn't thinking about romance right now. Let him focus on his cultivation! Perhaps in some time, he'll even surpass me."

"Brother," Wang Qingfeng said earnestly, "this has nothing to do with cultivation. I genuinely don't have feelings for them. No feelings means no feelings, and not liking means not liking." In his view, there was no middle ground for his affections, and he was incapable of saying something he didn't truly feel.

"Alright, both of you should go back and rest now!" Wang Changsheng waved his hand, dismissing them.

Wang Qingcheng and Wang Qingfeng acknowledged him and turned to leave.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan exchanged glances, a bitter smile passing between them as they shook their heads. Not only had Wang Qingfeng remained unchanged, but his personality had grown even more stubborn; he wouldn't alter a decision once he had made it.

"Madam," Wang Changsheng said softly, his face etched with worry, "it's been three hundred years." Considering the time, if Qingjing hadn't advanced to the Soul Transformation stage, she would have passed away.

"Yes, three hundred years," Wang Ruyan sighed, her eyes full of worry. "I wonder if Qingjing has advanced to the Soul Transformation stage, and what about Qingshan, Qingling, and Haitang?"

"If Qingshan has managed to escape, advancing to the Soul Transformation stage won't be an issue for him," Wang Changsheng said. "As for the others, it's hard to say." He shook his head, explaining that merely possessing spiritual treasures doesn't guarantee the cultivation of Soul Transformation cultivators; otherwise, the major sects in the Dongli Realm would have long produced many of them. Given similar conditions, Wang Changsheng was more optimistic about Wang Qingshan's prospects, but it was difficult to say for the other family members.
