Senior Brother, Stop It, You Are A Villain!

How desperate is Xin Ruxiong to marry off his junior sister?

Even if he is desperate, then sure, he can be desperate, but can he change the partner? Aren’t Guan Shuo from Taixuan Sacred Land and Fang Yiming from Jiuyin Sacred Land good marriage partners? Why do they have to stare at her husband, a married man?

Lin Xiaoran was very unhappy, and at the same time felt that Xin Ruxiong was trying to disgust her.

But looking at the long gift list, Lin Xiaoran felt that if Xin Ruxiong only wanted to disgust her, the cost would be too high.

After a moment of silence, Lin Xiaoran put the gift list on the table and smiled at Gu Chuan, “The envoy has come a long way, please take a rest for the next few days. We will discuss this matter after my husband returns.”

Gu Chuan also smiled and answered, “It should be so. Then, madam, I will take my leave.”

After Gu Chuan left, Lin Xiaoran called Dai Zhixin over. Before Dai Zhixin could speak, Lin Xiaoran asked, “Did you know that Xin Ruxiong wanted to marry his little junior sister?”

Dai Zhixin shrugged her shoulders and said, “Actually, Xin Ruxiong’s thoughts are not difficult to guess. Wuling City has gradually grown in recent years, and its influence is getting stronger day by day. Although Jiuyou Sacred Land has a deep foundation, it is restricted by the Jiuyou Mountain after all. Not to mention the entire Upper Domain, their influence in the current Dongzhou is not very big. Xin Ruxiong is very ambitious, and he must not be reconciled to be his local emperor in Jiuyou Mountain for the rest of his life. So for him, forming an alliance with Wuling City has become the best choice.”

Until now, Lin Xiaoran couldn’t understand what Xin Ruxiong was thinking.

If Wuling City had a good relationship with Jiuyou Sacred Land, it wouldn’t be surprising that he planned to create a marriage alliance.

But the problem is that the two sides have fought overtly and covertly, and she can’t even count how many times they have fought.

No matter how one looked at it, both sides were enemies rather than friends.

But Xin Ruxiong was able to let go of his face, take the initiative to ask for peace, and was even willing to marry his favorite junior sister.

This operation is really incomprehensible.

Dai Zhixin seemed to see what Lin Xiaoran was thinking. She smiled and said, “I think you should ask Zuo Linglan instead of me about this matter. For this Holy Lord Xin, I think the former Jiuyou Holy Maiden might have more to say.”

Lin Xiaoran also felt that Dai Zhixin’s words had some truth, so she sent someone to call Zuo Linglan over.

After Zuo Linglan came, Lin Xiaoran told her about Jiuyou Sacred Land’s marriage request, and asked, “Miss Zuo, based on what you know about Xin Ruxiong, why did he do this? What do you think he plans to do?”

Zuo Linglan smiled wryly, and said, “Although it looks abrupt at first glance, his behavior is quite in line with my understanding of him.”

“Oh?” Lin Xiaoran couldn’t help but ask, “Then what exactly is Xin Ruxiong trying to do?”

Zuo Linglan said, “Xin Ruxiong is a man of deep calculations. For his purpose, he can scheme against anyone, even himself. He doesn’t care about face, as long as he can achieve his own purpose, he will do anything. The fact that he chose a marriage alliance with Wuling City is obviously because he took a fancy to the benefits brought by the marriage with Wuling City.” 𝑅𝙖Ｎо𝐁Èș

Lin Xiaoran became thoughtful. Then she doubtfully asked, “You mean, he truly wants to form an alliance with Wuling City?”

Zuo Linglan nodded, “That’s right. He truly wants an alliance. It’s just that because of the previous relationship between Jiuyou Sacred Land and Wuling City, if Jiuyou Sacred Land proposed an alliance on its own initiative, it would inevitably make people suspect that Jiuyou Sacred Land is scheming once again. Therefore, in order to show the sincerity of Jiuyou Sacred Land, he chose the method of marriage.”

Dai Zhixin on the side interjected, “However, such a thing as marriage can only be regarded as an addition to the issue of alliance, and has little practical significance. Even if Su Ling’er really married to our Wuling City, if betrayal of the alliance would bring greater advantages, Xin Ruxiong would still choose to betray without hesitation. So you don’t need to worry about the marriage, you only need to consider the alliance.”

Lin Xiaoran asked Dai Zhixin, “Then what do you think, should we agree to this or not?”

“There are advantages to agreeing, but there are also advantages to not agreeing. If we agree, we can open channels in the eastern part of Dongzhou for the goods produced by our Wuling City. At the same time, there is one less obvious enemy that can benefit the future development of Wuling City. If we do not agree, we will lose part of the market, but it will also prevent us from being betrayed and plotted within by Jiuyou Sacred Land in the future,” Dai Zhixin analyzed.

Zuo Linglan added, “If you agree, it will also convey to the outside world the message that Wuling City is tolerant, which will help Wuling City to truly make friends with other forces.”

After Lin Xiaoran pondered for a long time, she suddenly sighed and murmured, “But I really don’t want to agree…”

Dai Zhixin and Zuo Linglan looked at each other and smiled when they heard this.

Dai Zhixin joked, “Okay, okay. We understand why our city lord’s wife doesn’t want to agree in your heart. To be honest, if it were me, I wouldn’t want to agree. My family is living a good life, but suddenly someone abruptly forced themselves in. One person comes in and turns a nice two-person world into a three-person world, and no one will be happy to change it. It’s fine. If you don’t want to, just refuse it. As the wife of the city lord, you still have this right.”
