Eternal Beast Taming Family

In the evening, during a late-night conversation between the couple.

Chu Qinhui recounted what had happened between Chen Ling and Xiao Fan during the day.

Chu Qinhui didn't think it was a big deal, but Jiang Nian frowned.

"Xiao Fan doesn't understand yet, so it's fine if you make fun of him a couple of times. But if he really gets into those kinds of thoughts, and someone takes advantage of the situation, you, as his father, will have your day."

"What's the big deal? It's just a matter of love between a man and a woman, and it's consensual. I believe Xiao Fan can control himself."

Jiang Nian sat on the dressing table and slowly lowered the pearl hairpin from her hair.

"Let's not even talk about whether this romance will affect cultivation. Just think about how those villages saw the daughter of Chenjia Village giving Xiao Fan a purse. What will they think?"

Do you think we're thinking of finding good matches for our children? If all the beautiful women flock around your son, who knows which one will be more cunning and make your son fall for her? What will you do then?

It's one thing to have a crush on one person, but if he becomes a dissolute playboy who frequents brothels, the family's reputation will be ruined.

As Jiang Nian spoke more and more, Chu Qinhui's expression lost its initial firmness, and he paced back and forth a few times.

"Surely not. Xiao Fan is the most well-behaved and sensible person. She would never become that kind of person."

"Of course my son will not become that kind of person, but he can't resist too many temptations around him. My son is not a saint, so he will inevitably make mistakes."

So, am I taking precautions in advance?

"That's true. Xiao Fan is currently on duty in town, and we can't keep an eye on him all the time, so it's necessary to take precautions. So, what do you think we should do now?"

After pondering for a long time, Chu Qinhui decided to ask his wife for her opinion.

"In my opinion, we should first arrange Xiao Fan's marriage so that he knows he has a wife. This way, when faced with temptation, he will have a sense of justice."

"Engagement? Xiaoling?" Chu Qinhui thought for a moment and nodded. "Village Chief Chen and our father are old acquaintances. The Chen family is also a family with a clean reputation. The two of them are childhood sweethearts, so an engagement would be appropriate."

Upon hearing Chu Qinhui's words, Jiang Nian slowly shook her head.

"As for Xiaofan's fiancé, I actually prefer someone else."

"Who?" Chu Qinhui asked curiously as he approached his wife.

Jiang Nian pointed to her eyes in the air, "Xu Yinyue."

Upon hearing the name, Chu Qinhui instantly realized who it was.

"In terms of background, Xu Yinyue's family background is simpler, which also avoids the trouble caused by some miscellaneous relatives later on."

Moreover, Xu Yinyue has a special physique and possesses unique abilities. If these abilities can be passed on to the Chu family bloodline in the future, it would undoubtedly be a great benefit to the Chu family for generations to come.

"He is the most suitable candidate."

Chu Qinhui nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll ask Father's opinion tomorrow."

When Chu Qinhui mentioned his father, he seemed a little worried. "Our father has a good relationship with that village chief Chen, so he might prefer Chen's little granddaughter."

Faced with Chu Qinhui's concerns, Jiang Nian remained calm, saying, "That was certainly true before, but after Xu Yinyue demonstrated her special abilities, things might change."

Chu Qinhui pondered for two seconds and also felt that Xiao Fan was definitely more important in his father's heart, so he would definitely lean towards Xu Yinyue when making a choice.

The night passed in the blink of an eye. After breakfast,

In the front hall, the guard who had been sent to Qingsha Village yesterday to investigate the crocodile beast reported the information to Chu Qinhui.

"Yesterday, Lin Yue and I spent the night in Qingsha Village, and it wasn't until nearly midnight last night that we saw the appearance of the crocodile-source beast that the villagers had described."

As he recalled, Zhao Ke described, "In general, it was similar to what the village chief said, but his cultivation level was much higher than both Lin Yue's and mine, probably at the different rank."

Because our cultivation levels were inferior, Lin Yue and I didn't dare to act rashly. Moreover, it seemed very vigilant, only moving around the Qingsha River, as if there was something there that needed its protection.

However, it's also possible that it's injured and needs to recuperate in a place with water.

Chu Qinhui mentally reviewed what the guard Zhang Ke had described, then nodded and said, "You've worked hard. You two should go back and rest first."

The two guards clasped their hands in farewell and took their leave. Chu Qinhui turned and walked towards the ancestral hall. The source beasts above the extra rank were no longer something he could handle.

Inside the ancestral hall, Chu Qinhui saw servants going in and out, moving the "Moon-Worshipping Rabbit" and "Medicinal Fragrance Powder-Eared Rabbit" to a new home.

The planted medicinal herbs were also uprooted and neatly stacked aside.

At this moment, the servants were carrying cages or carrying hay in and out of the ancestral hall. Normally, these servants wouldn't even be qualified to enter the ancestral hall. This was probably the liveliest day since the ancestral hall was built.

Chu Qinhui knew that these rabbits had been sent to the backyard, where a large area had been fenced off specifically for raising these two types of rabbits.

After moving the rabbits out, the ancestral hall truly became cold and deserted.

Chu Qinhui walked to his father's side and quietly recounted the situation in Qingsha Village.

After listening, Chu Jingyu nodded. "I'll go to Qingsha Village this afternoon."

Watching the servants bustling about in the courtyard, Chu Qinhui shared his idea of ​​arranging an engagement for Xiao Fan, which he had discussed with his wife the day before.

Chu Jingyu was slightly surprised. Xiao Fan was so young, and he hadn't expected that his son and his wife would start worrying about his marriage.

"The child is still young and hasn't settled on any particular idea yet. Let's talk about it again in a few years."

Chu Qinhui twitched the corner of his mouth. "Yesterday, Village Chief Chen appeared at home with his granddaughter Chen Ling. At that time, the girl gave Xiao Fan a purse, and that's when Nian'er and I thought about Xiao Fan's marriage."

To avoid any ulterior motives from others, Xiao Nian and I think it's best to settle things as soon as possible. We both believe Xu Yinyue is more suitable than Chen Ling.

"That's true." Chu Jingyu pondered for a moment. "Chen Ling is a well-behaved and good girl. Xiao Fan didn't refuse her yesterday, which inevitably caused her to misunderstand. How do you plan to resolve this matter?"

"The child is still young, so whatever you say it is, is fine. You can say it's a token of love, or you can say it's just children playing around."

I'll have Xiao Nian go to the Chen family herself, return the purse, and offer some compensation. We can't expect Xiao Fan to become their son-in-law just because they accepted a purse, can we?

Although Chu Qinhui's words weren't entirely wrong, Chu Jingyu still sighed softly.

"That's fine, but it will hurt our relationship. I originally planned to marry that girl to Xiao Fan, but now that he's found someone better, he's abandoned her. It's just that our family isn't suitable."

Chu Qinhui knew that his father was an extremely decisive person at times, but at other times he was always a little reluctant to lose face and had great empathy for ordinary people, and could not be as ruthless as other aristocratic families.

"Father, you had this idea before, but you never brought it up in public. Making a decision now won't delay the girl in any way."

"Alright, you two can make the decision, but you should still ask the two children for their opinions, lest a good thing turn into a bad one."

"Yes, Father."

Just as Chu Qinhui was about to leave the ancestral hall, Chu Mu, who had been silently observing from within the book space, could no longer help but speak up:

"Engagement is possible, but marriage can only take place after the age of sixteen."
