Chapter 76 - Chapter 26: The Rich and Beautiful Lady Seeks a Suitor

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became excited,

"Are your words the truth?"

"Of course, my uncle's sister's husband's nephew's wife works in the Yin Family, and it is said that all the male servants there have been tested, each receiving Reward Silver!"

"If that's the case... let's go tomorrow!"

"There's no need to rush, my friend. This matter is currently only being discussed among the Yin Family and some well-connected noble houses have gotten wind of it. It hasn't been officially announced yet... As you all know, the Eldest Miss Yin of the Yin Family naturally seeks a match from among her equals first, and will only look beyond that if no suitable candidates are found within our peers and us ordinary folks..."

Everyone nodded in agreement,

"Makes sense!"

The Eldest Miss Yin of the Yin Family, being at the Foundation Establishment Mid Stage, naturally has a lifespan of over five hundred years. If a mortal man were to marry her, wouldn't that mean he'd be leaving someone widowed for hundreds of years? Although immortals don't care much for reputation, she is still a maiden of a prestigious family. It wouldn't sound good if she had to marry more than once!

Yet, this wasn't their primary concern,

"So when will this suitor selection be announced to the public?"

The man spoke proudly,

"If you ask others, they definitely won't have an answer for you, but only I..."

He pointed to his own nose,

"Only someone who knows the inside information of the Yin Family like me can tell you..."

Having said this, he leisurely reached for the jug on the table, only to find it empty. He shook his head in regret, set it down again, and at this, some savvy folks in the audience hurriedly waved for the waiter,

"Go, go, get your best wine, I'll treat this gentleman to a drink!"

The waiter dashed out, and the speaker beamed with joy, gratefully bowing to the person offering the wine,

"Thank you, my friend!"

Once the waiter presented the wine, the speaker poured himself a cup, took a satisfying sip, and swayed with pleasure, exclaiming,

"What fine wine!"

After indulging in this display and heightening everyone's anticipation, he slowly continued under the searing gaze of the crowd,

"No need to be anxious, I've heard it's likely to be announced on the eighth day of next month!"

"The eighth of next month? Isn't today already the twenty-seventh?"

Someone calculated the dates, and the man nodded,

"Exactly... it's only a few days away..."

He paused, then added,

"As I know, many who are privy to the news have already gone ahead and signed up with the Yin Family. If you all don't want to miss this chance, you might as well queue up early too!"

At this suggestion, the crowd began to stir, considering that, as he implied, the kind of special constitution sought by the Yin Family was one in ten thousand, but what if they struck it lucky and found someone in the first few days? Then they'd miss the chance to earn the silver!

Hearing this, everyone chimed in enthusiastically,

"Then we must go and inquire, if there's a way, we should register early as well!"

The man nodded with a smile,

"Exactly!"

Sitting in a corner, Gu Shi Yi just scoffed upon hearing this. He finished his meal quickly and left the hall to return to his small room, where Li Yanyan was recounting what she'd heard from Big Boss,

"They were talking about the Yin Family seeking a son-in-law, and discussing how the Yin Family's Eldest Miss is quite beautiful, with a gorgeous face and figure..."

After finishing with the important matters, when men gather, they inevitably start discussing women, especially since the Yin Family's Eldest Miss was a renowned young maiden in Twin Sages City, her beauty and background worthy of admiration. Gu Shi Yi, who had hurried into the room, was startled when he heard their conversation and asked,

"Big Boss, you were eavesdropping?"

This wasn't their old small place; Twin Sages City had many Great Cultivators. If they weren't careful, Big Boss could be discovered, and if someone had ill-intentions, he wouldn't be able to protect it!

Big Boss shook its tree-like point and said confidently,

"Rest easy, I didn't dare to run around. You see, there are flowers set up in the hall, right? When we came in last night, I conveniently imparted a bit of my spirit into them. With people coming and going and the strong energy in the hall, my tiny presence won't be noticed!"

Gu Shi Yi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded,

"That's good!"

Li Yanyan asked curiously,

"Shiyi, is the Yin Family in Twin Sages City that powerful? Is the Yin Family's Eldest Miss truly that beautiful?"

Gu Shi Yi nodded,

"This place is called Twin Sages City because it hosts two major families. One bears the Yin surname, and the other, the Zhong. They established roots here a thousand years ago, initially mere small families of cultivators. After growing, they intermarried, and the Yin and Zhong families have had three marriages between them. The first couple successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, the second one even reached the Late Nascent Soul stage and is preparing to attempt Divinity Transformation, and the third couple is the current ruling pair of the city, already at the Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level... However, among the family members who have not intermarried, few have managed to reach the Nascent Soul Stage..."
