The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

After Yan Chixiong directly stated his intentions, the family of three looked at Su Jingzhen with anticipation.

Yan Xia’s face turned even redder, but there was also a look of humiliation in her eyes.

Her father’s words made her feel as though she was being offered as a gift.

Yet, she was truly helpless, as her parents had placed great expectations on her.

However, she had continuously disappointed them.

While Yan Xia and her family each had their own thoughts, Su Jingzhen’s lips curled into a smile again.

“Let the past stay in the past.”

“I have already said that I don’t care about that incident.”

“Moreover, Miss Yan is quite outstanding among her peers. I’m sure that if she finds a Dao Companion, there will be a chance to have children with spiritual roots in the future.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “As for me, I have already mentioned that I have a Dao Companion I favor and will not take any concubines.”

Of course, this was just a lie at the moment.

Having traveled through the world, if there were suitable candidates, Su Jingzhen wouldn’t mind having multiple wives.

Furthermore, his relationship with Shuang Jiang as Dao Companions was just a facade to deceive others.

But as for Yan Xia, he had no interest whatsoever.

Choosing Yan Xia was not as appealing as focusing on enhancing his strength, improving his alchemy skills, and capturing Feng Qingya from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

After all, in terms of status, figure, face, and the value she could bring, Feng Qingya far surpassed Yan Xia.

After speaking, without waiting for a response from Yan Xia and her family, Su Jingzhen had already stepped out of the school.

“If the three of you are here solely for this matter, then please leave.”

“I have some things to attend to.”

As he spoke, he closed the door of the school.

To politely refuse Yan Xia and her family was the extent of Su Jingzhen’s courtesy.

If they still weren’t satisfied and continued to pester him, he wouldn’t show any more leniency.

Yan Xia’s face suddenly turned pale, realizing that she was not wanted even when given away freely.

Yan Chixiong and his wife exchanged complex glances.

“Daoist Su, please wait a moment.”

After a moment of hesitation, Yan Chixiong called out to Su Jingzhen again.

Su Jingzhen’s brow furrowed slightly.

He had already planned to ignore them, but Yan Chixiong’s next words made him stop.

“Daoist Su, you must have noticed how much we value our daughter?”

“But she is indeed only a pseudo-spiritual roots practitioner. The reason we have her participate in the awakening ceremony every year is because of a special reason.”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen became intrigued.

In the cultivation world, those planning for the next generation typically believed that more children meant better chances. If one child didn’t have spiritual roots, having many more would eventually yield one with spiritual roots.

However, Yan Chixiong and his wife seemed different.

Su Jingzhen’s gaze remained calm as he looked at the family, waiting for Yan Chixiong to continue.

The latter did not hesitate and spoke directly, “Actually, our daughter Yan Xia has a special constitution.”

“Otherwise, my wife and I would not have been so persistent.”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen was shocked.

This was something he hadn’t anticipated.

He had indeed heard of the concept of special constitutions.

Some people are born as heaven’s favored ones, with constitutions different from ordinary people and abilities extremely powerful in certain aspects.

For instance, the legendary ‘Innate Dao Body,’ ‘Primordial Saint Body,’ ‘Yin Nether Ghost Body,’ etc.

However, after hearing that Yan Xia also had such an innate special constitution, Su Jingzhen suddenly found it amusing.

A special constitution that couldn’t awaken its own spiritual roots was like being given a grand door by the heavens, only to have it locked without giving you the key.

That was really absurd.

Su Jingzhen then looked at Yan Chixiong with some curiosity, “What kind of constitution does she have?”

To this, Yan Chixiong could only give a bitter smile, “We are not entirely sure what kind of constitution our daughter has because she hasn’t awakened her spiritual roots, so it hasn’t fully manifested.”

“But the one thing we are certain of is that she indeed has an innate special constitution.”

This explanation piqued Su Jingzhen’s interest.

“If that’s the case, why have you come to me?”

Innate constitutions were as rare as high-level spiritual roots. If Yan Xia truly had a special constitution, there would be plenty of sects eager to take her in.

Yet, they came looking for him and even initially set Yan Xia up for a blind date with him.

It didn’t make much sense.

Su Jingzhen found this explanation intriguing but wasn’t foolish.

Hearing his question, Yan Xia’s family felt slightly embarrassed.

Yan Chixiong still opened his mouth to explain, “There are several reasons. One is that my wife and I are weak and don’t dare to reveal this to anyone too powerful.”

“Another reason is that we once sought an elder from the Huayang Branch, but because our daughter failed to awaken her spiritual roots…”

“That elder didn’t believe us and didn’t bother verifying it.”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but snicker internally.

The main reason was that no one believed them.

Before he could respond, Yan Chixiong continued, “Actually, over the years, we’ve tried to develop our daughter’s constitution ourselves.”

“But we never seem to find the right method, and our abilities are very limited. As Xia’er gets older, we can’t afford to waste any more time.”

“Your mysterious reputation, Daoist Su, gave us a bit of hope…”

Yan Chixiong felt somewhat embarrassed as he spoke.

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen narrowed his eyes slightly.

He knew they were still hiding many things from him, and there were probably many details Yan Chixiong wouldn’t divulge.

But this was understandable. After all, who didn’t have a few secrets?

Especially in the cultivation world.

Su Jingzhen didn’t want to delve into it any further.

Yan Chixiong and his wife were considered the bottom tier in Linjiang City, and Su Jingzhen understood the hardships of those at the lower levels of the cultivation world too well.

No matter how they discovered Yan Xia’s special constitution, since Yan Xia had no spiritual roots, it would indeed be difficult to make others believe them.

“Father, mother, let’s go. Xia’er has made up her mind. Even if she can’t awaken her spiritual roots in this lifetime, it doesn’t matter.”

“As long as I can stay by your side, it’s enough.”

Yan Xia’s face showed a trace of helplessness and some despair.

As she said this, she didn’t look at Su Jingzhen anymore.

It seemed she had lost hope.

Yan Chixiong and his wife were stunned for a moment, then sighed deeply.

“Ah…”

“We apologize for disturbing you, Daoist Su. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Yan Chixiong apologized to Su Jingzhen.

Then the family of three left dejectedly.

This made Su Jingzhen stand still in surprise.

He watched the backs of Yan Xia and her family, sensing their intention to leave was genuine.

He couldn’t accept Yan Xia, but if she indeed had a special constitution, there might be some use…

With this in mind, he instinctively called out.

“Wait a moment!”
