"Yes." Everyone responded respectfully in unison, and listened to the old ancestor's instructions for a while.
"Okay, you guys can leave first!" Emperor Xiaotian waved his hand and signaled them to leave first.
So, everyone responded and retreated first. When the Xiao family head and several elders were about to retreat, they heard his voice again.
"You guys stay."
Hearing this, several people looked at each other, then stopped, turned around and walked to the middle of the hall, and said, "Ancestor, do you have any other instructions?"
"Please sit down!" Emperor Xiaotian gestured for them to sit down.
They looked at each other, then sat down aside, waiting for his next words.
"I'm thinking of having Jun Yan marry Feng Jiu's daughter. What do you think about this?" he asked, looking at everyone present.
Hearing this, several people were stunned. After a moment of hesitation, an elder said, "Grandmaster, I don't seem to have heard of Feng Jiu's child. Moreover, even if there is one, her child is probably in the lower fairyland, right? How can we marry them across the Nine Heavens? Moreover, Jun Yan is cold by nature and is rarely interested in people and things. If we arrange this marriage, I'm afraid..."
Patriarch Xiao also nodded and said, "What the elder said is right. Although Jun Yan is the most outstanding among the younger generation, he is like a lone wolf. You said that suddenly arranging such a marriage for him, I am also worried that it will backfire."
He paused and continued, "Over the years, I've noticed that he treats Yun Qi, the disciple of the Qing Emperor, differently. This trip out of the island is also for Yun Qi, so I thought, if you want to arrange a marriage for him, wouldn't it be better to discuss it with him first?"
"Yes! Old Ancestor, I also think that what the head of the family said makes sense. If the daughter of Empress Fengjiu is really betrothed, we cannot easily regret it. But if Jun Yan does not have that intention, then this marriage may backfire." Another elder also spoke up.
Listening to their words, Emperor Xiaotian pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "Then call him back first! I will discuss this matter with him in person."
"Yes." They had no choice but to agree, and when they saw that he had no other instructions, they retreated.
The head of the Xiao family returned to the main courtyard and saw his son there, so he asked, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?" As he spoke, he sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, his brows slightly furrowed, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Father, is there something wrong?" Xiao Junheng asked and sat down next to him.
Seeing him asking, the head of the Xiao family glanced at him. The son in front of him had outstanding temperament and handsome appearance. If it weren't for Xiao Junyan, he would be the most outstanding one among the younger generation.
Thinking of this, he sighed and told him what happened in the hall. Finally, he said, "That's it. The ancestor wanted Jun Yan to marry Feng Jiu's daughter. When I came back, I had already sent a message to Jun Yan, asking him to come back."
As he spoke, he looked at his son beside him and asked, "Jun Heng, what do you think about this?" As he spoke, he stared at his expression, not missing a single detail on his face.
Xiao Junheng smiled gently and said slowly: "Jun Yan is the most outstanding young man of the younger generation, and he is also the young master of our Xiao family. If he can get engaged to the daughter of Lord Feng, he is the only one who has this qualification in the entire Xiao family."
