"Indeed, Vice-Palace Master is perceptive."
"And I assume you'd like to increase the number of recruits into your Sect from the Star Boundary."
"Ahahah, naturally since you'll be the son-in-law of my force."
"You should know I have 20 wives and 6 kids now. If my current wives are able to get along with you then it will only be whether or not you can accept being 1 of many."
"How did you manage to acquire so many women!"
"Esteemed Elder, I know it's a surprise but it was myself who practically begged him to take in more wives."
"Oh I see. Still your methods are impressive, just how do you do it?"
"To be quite honest. It's incredibly simple. I simply Satisfy them to their heart's content. My wives are also rather competitive with me. So when they find others they can get along with and they make a decision with a clear conscience then I accept their feelings."
"I am Ling Xiang, 6th rank Open Heaven. It's good to meet you."
"Come lets have a chat Ling Xiang."
Lan Xuna and Xiao Qi leave the room with Ling Xiang. They are going to have a discussion together in private. They were about to go over many other private details. His kids would also be introduced to the woman.
"So Yang Rai, how did you manage to heal Miss Lan Xun so well? She even seems stronger than some other disciples in our cave heavens and paradises."
"Trade secret. Though I'll tell you this. It isn't limited to just my family. I can temper anyones foundation. Raising their direct prompt capability is simply as easy as breathing given the right methods."
"That would help a great deal if you'd be able to do that for all of those who can't even manage up to the third direct promotion."
"I heard these people are eventually kicked out of the forces. That's basically a death sentence."
"How so?"
"Well it is widely known that anyone chased into shattered heaven would do anything to take a jab at the major forces that put them there."
"So you're saying we've been sentencing them to die because of that."
"It's not like they will right away. Some forces are able to take them in as a favor or even just to boost their strength. Enough about that though here is the reward for those four resources."
"Ah, I see. So you won't accept her then?"
"No, I never said that. I merely can't keep the reward when I promised it. Though I'd like to ask you a favor."
"What is it?"
"You'll naturally know when the time comes. If you are willing to accept this without question right now I'll give you something good as a reward."
"Done. If it's something from you I'm sure it will be good."
Yang Rai's wives came back this time with his kids and Ling Xiang. Lan Xun and Xiao Qi gave the proverbial green light signal to Yang Rai, this was to tell him to accept her.
