When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1167 Xuanyu 23
Unfortunately, some people are stubborn and want to give it a try. Fine, give it a try, since she doesn't offer after-sales service anyway.

"It's just that your Sword Sect is full of cultivation fanatics, and very few of them have Daoist partners." Tan You said with a smile, "What I'm afraid of is those who have high expectations for the marriage contract, but at the same time overestimate their status in their partner's heart, and in the end, the relationship breaks down instead of working out. I don't care about those."

Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat. Of course he had a Daoist partner; otherwise, where did Mingqi come from? But if he and his partner went through the marriage contract formation and it didn't work out...

That was definitely a blow.

Seeing Mingyuan remain silent, Mingqi, that wretched thing, spoke up again: "If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. Does not meeting the requirements of a marriage contract mean it's not a relationship? It's just a matter of how much affection there is."

Tan You raised an eyebrow: "That's true, but you don't have a Daoist partner, so you can say that so easily."

"If your Daoist partner has better aptitude than you, and they ascend smoothly, can't you also ascend safely? There are always people who have this kind of thinking. As the saying goes, if your expectations are too high, you will easily become resentful if the result does not meet your expectations."

Mingyuan came to his senses: "Fellow Daoist Xuanyu is right. If this marriage formation is successful, I will not try it."

He knew what he was like. He had feelings for his Daoist partner, but he could never truly be in complete harmony with her. Since that was the case, there was no point in trying.

He didn't develop a mental block later on; after all, he knew perfectly well how much affection he had for his wife.

Mingqi thought about his parents' daily interactions. Both were cultivation fanatics, and he, their own son, rarely saw them. For them to talk about feelings under such circumstances was indeed a bit ridiculous.

Tan You didn't force it. To put it bluntly, this marriage contract was just a lifeline for couples with vastly different qualifications and abilities. But there were prerequisites: both partners had to have the purest love for each other.

This alone has already stopped too many people, because in this world full of crises, everyone always trusts themselves the most and loves themselves the most.

Looking back now, Sang Lin and Jin Jiao were indeed quite remarkable.

Of course, this is ignoring the two people's character.

That evening, Tan You and Ming Qi arrived at the Xin family's residence. With Tan You, a master of formations, leading the way, they entered and exited the Xin family's residence with ease. Looking at the little baby who possessed his own sword bone, Ming Qi's gaze was somewhat complicated.

Yao Yao was impatient: "Take the sword bone away first, or things might get complicated."

Mingqi shared the same thought. The Sword Sect cultivators didn't care about saving face; they only cared about practical benefits. Since the item was already right in front of them, why wait until the full moon celebration to lose face?
The murderer had wronged him to such an extent back then, so now he's being despicable too. But really, it's not that he's being despicable; it was originally his sword bone, and this is returning it to its rightful owner.

Besides, the child is with the Xin family. At most, having his bones cut open would be painful, but it wouldn't kill him. And since he's with the Xin family, they always have a way to handle things.

Thinking of this, Mingqi flicked a wisp of sword energy from his fingertip, swiftly and accurately slicing open Xin Sheng's back, revealing a golden bone about the length of a little finger. Mingqi withdrew the bone, and the group quickly left.

Even adults would find it difficult to endure the pain of having their bones removed raw, let alone infants. Previously, a soundproof barrier had prevented the commotion from spreading, but now that Tan You and the others had left, Xin Sheng started crying, and immediately some family cultivators came to check on him.

This blow really ripped a hole in the wall. Xin Sheng lay in the cradle, his back stained with blood, and the sword bone that the Xin family was so proud of was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is the sword bone?"

"Where did these thieves dare to steal my son's sword bone?!" "Report this to the Ancestor immediately!"

"Please ask the Ancestor for a decision as soon as possible!"

"Seal the city gates! Activate the family's magical artifact, Time Reversal!"

The Xin family was in complete chaos, and Xin Zhao, who was cultivating at the Chaotian Sect, naturally learned of this news. Upon learning that the sword bone he had painstakingly obtained had been stolen, Xin Zhao immediately left the Chaotian Sect and went straight to the Xin family.

He was the fourth elder of the Chaotian Sect's Elder Hall, holding a high position within the sect, and naturally no one could stop him from going wherever he wanted. Now, upon returning and seeing Xin Sheng, who had calmed down, and confirming that the sword bone had indeed been taken, Xin Zhao's eyes widened in fury.

"Use the family's magical artifacts! Who exactly took Xin Sheng's sword bone?" After his initial anger subsided, Xin Zhao gradually calmed down. The rest of the Xin family fell silent, knowing that while Xin Zhao appeared calm on the surface, he was actually extremely furious inside, waiting to identify the culprit.

The Xin family patriarch hurriedly brought out the family's magical artifact. He channeled his magic power into the Retrospective Mirror, and soon images appeared on the mirror, finally settling on Mingqi, Yaoyao, Tanyou, and Mingyuan.

As for the hidden ancestors, they were all lying in ambush outside the Xin family compound, so they naturally did not reveal themselves.

After seeing Mingqi's face clearly, Xin Zhao crushed two spirit stones in his hand: "You're really lucky. You're still alive even after all this."

At this moment, he undoubtedly took his anger out on Xin Sheng's parents: "We've already given you the sword bone, and you can't even protect it when it's right in front of you. You're useless!"

Xin Sheng's father, Xin Lie, kowtowed repeatedly in shame: "Grandfather, what should we do now? Will he harm Sheng'er's life? My wife and I have only had Sheng'er as our child all these years..."

“He’s after me,” Xin Zhao had completely regained his composure: “Why do you think he took the sword bone? Back then, I clearly took the sword bone and shattered his dantian, but only a little over 120 years later, he has actually cultivated back to the half-step Nascent Soul stage.”

"I can kill him once, I can kill him twice. He's just a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator..."

Xin Lie and his wife, along with the rest of the Xin family, all paled. The Xin patriarch was covered in cold sweat: "Ancestor, wasn't it said that Sheng'er was born with sword bones..."

His voice trailed off, clearly knowing that Xin Lie's lineage was trying to build momentum for the boy, but he hadn't expected that before Xin Sheng could even grow up, his enemies would come knocking on his door.

I wonder who this enemy is...

Clan Chief Xin now hopes this matter won't implicate the clan, since the sword bone was only given to Xin Lie's lineage, and the clan received no benefit whatsoever. If this leads to disaster, he certainly won't accept it.

Xin Zhao naturally understood what the clan chief meant. He paused for a moment and said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. This is my own grudge, so it naturally won't involve the clan. I'll be leaving now."

Xin Lie mustered his courage: "Then... we won't hold the full moon celebration? Sheng'er is in such a state now, he's a laughing stock."

Xin Zhao flung his sleeves and said, "I'm not doing it anymore, it's too embarrassing!"

Xin Zhao left, and the family cultivators also went back to rest, but the news couldn't be kept secret. Before dawn, the news that Xin Sheng's sword bone had been taken and that his enemies had come knocking had spread like wildfire.
