After a day of fermentation, the news of Yang Xiu's broken engagement had spread throughout Qing Shi City.
After all, the Yang Family was the strongest Family in Qing Shi City; common folk loved to gossip about them, and other families constantly monitored the Yang Mansion's movements.
Ever since Lin Qingning brought people to their door the day before, followed by Li Yunshang's visit, and the various rumors that circulated, people from all the major families knew that the marriage between Yang Xiu and Lin Qingning was most likely off.
As expected, both sides released news this morning: the engagement was dissolved!
Among the major families with eligible direct daughters, their thoughts began to stir.
They had a chance before but didn't seize it, allowing Lin Zhengjie to get ahead. Now, the Lin Family had climbed to a higher branch and given up this opportunity, which perfectly benefited them.
Lin Qingning was out of the question; with her talent, she would definitely be groomed by the Qinglin Sect and might even become a candidate for the next Sect Master, so she wouldn't be allowed to marry out.
The reason the Qinglin Sect didn't intervene in the matter with the Yang Family was because they were intimidated by Yang Tianchang and Su Xueying's strength.
These smaller families didn't have anything that would make the Qinglin Sect take notice.
So, one by one, they turned their attention back to Yang Xiu.
At this moment, in Yang Xiu's courtyard at the Yang Mansion.
Li Yunshang looked at Yang Xiu with a puzzled expression, waiting for his explanation.
After a night of intense battle, the two only rested for a while at dawn. Upon waking, Li Yunshang discovered that she had actually had a Breakthrough!
Without Cultivating, she had a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Late Stage overnight!
Li Yunshang immediately suspected it was Yang Xiu's doing. The only difference in her life these past two days was doing 'that' with Yang Xiu.
After consulting the System, Yang Xiu finally understood the reason.
“Cough cough, if you had a Breakthrough, you had a Breakthrough. I accidentally obtained a Dual Cultivation Cultivation Technique a while ago, and when I was with you, it unconsciously started to operate, and as a result, you had a Breakthrough!”
Li Yunshang heard Yang Xiu's explanation and thought to herself, 'Sure enough.'
Then her whole being became excited. Didn't that mean that from now on, as long as she did 'that' with Yang Xiu, she could improve her Cultivation?
Originally, she already had a slight affection for Yang Xiu. After half a day and a night of 'deep communication' yesterday, she was even more satisfied with Yang Xiu and felt no resistance to being intimate with him.
Especially the embarrassing words from the latter half of the night, and the images that made her fantasize about comparing Yang Xiu and Lin Zhengjie.
She found that she and Yang Xiu were more compatible; he understood her better than Lin Zhengjie and could excite her more!
Thirty years spent with Lin Zhengjie didn't even compare to the understanding she gained from less than three days with Yang Xiu.
Although she was initially forced and threatened, and even though she was much older than Yang Xiu, and Yang Xiu almost became her son-in-law, and she was already a married woman...
But these were not problems. A flawed beginning didn't matter; as long as the process and ending were perfect, it was fine.
And for Cultivators, age was not a problem at all; it wasn't like her Lifespan was nearing its end and she was about to die!
Now that her daughter had broken off the engagement with him, she ultimately couldn't become his mother-in-law, which was not a problem at all.
....................
Yang Xiu told her to rest well, then got up and walked towards the front hall.
Just now, Yang Tianchang had sent someone to call him; many families had come with their eligible direct daughters, wanting to arrange a marriage for Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu was truly enlightened; he didn't expect that matchmakers would bring the other party directly to the door. Wasn't this clearly asking him to choose a concubine!
In contrast, Yang Xiu could only say, 'Well done!'
What kind of matchmaking? You can't even see the person, you don't know their background, and you have to investigate yourself. What, his time isn't money?
How much simpler it was to bring them over openly like this and settle it if they liked each other!
Lost in thought, he soon arrived at the front hall.
He saw the half-acre front hall, bustling and nearly packed with people.
Yang Xiu was utterly bewildered, 'Dude, so many people?'
Is this really for matchmaking? If you told him they were preparing to go down a mine to dig coal, he'd believe it!
Looking around, there were probably about three hundred people, all squeezed into the hall.
While Yang Xiu was bewildered, someone in the hall also noticed him.
Although Yang Xiu rarely appeared in public, as the Young Master of the Yang Family, his appearance was strictly required to be memorized by all major families.
Just in case they accidentally offended this seemingly insignificant young ancestor someday.
Everyone rushed out in a swarm, gathering in front of Yang Xiu to introduce themselves.
“Yang Shao, Yang Shao, I am the Zhou Family Head. Look, this is my daughter. She used to love following you around when she was little, do you still remember her?”
Saying this, the man pulled a young girl to stand in front of Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu only glanced at her and knew the man was purely talking nonsense.
This daughter of his looked at least twenty, and her real age would only be older, at least four or five years older than him. And she followed him around when he was little?
Playing what the fu... playing what the hell!
“Yang Shao, Yang Shao, don't listen to his nonsense. His daughter is already 25. Look at my daughter, she's only eleven this year, and you even held her when she was little!”
Yang Xiu looked down at the little girl in front of him, feeling a bit speechless.
Are they crazy? Only eleven years old. Who the hell could bring themselves to do anything with her!
“Yang Shao, Yang Shao...”
“Yang Shao...”
Yang Xiu was annoyed by the noise and quickly shouted, “Stop! Everyone, stand in your places. I'll look at you one by one!”
As Yang Xiu's words fell, the elders from each Family led their children to stand in line. Only then did Yang Xiu realize that the previous two weren't even the most outrageous.
There were even people who brought their whole Family, bringing all their daughters and granddaughters!
