Chapter 879: Chapter 773 Reciprocity_4
“Now that everyone is here, let’s have a good discussion about our promising son-in-law-to-be, the Qilin.”
The Supreme Elder’s words carried a hint of jest, and many people also let out good-natured laughter…
Tao Yu touched his nose when he heard these voices, while the little rich woman indignantly said,
“What’s there to laugh about? You’d also have such talent if you could.”
“Alright, alright, let’s drop it.”
“Shiyu, darling, is getting annoyed.”
“Hey, someone’s elbow is turning outwards~”
Tao Yu patted Sun Shiyu’s shoulder and then looked up at the Supreme Elder, waiting for what was to come next.
Having made a jest, the Supreme Elder then became more serious,
“Yu, you have the capability, and even if Shiyu and her sisters did support you, the benefits you brought to the Suns are likewise not trivial. Talented, daring to struggle, and somewhat lucky, these traits will serve you well in the Abyss… ”
After the initial praise, the Supreme Elder continued,
“Now that you are to wed and become one with them, of course, we’ll also provide substantial support. Besides the Duel Space, we’re still not clear about your specific abilities, so whatever you want, just say it. We will certainly provide all-out support to help you ascend to the Saintly Position.”
While saying this, the Supreme Elder once again produced that Blood Crystal Stone.
“Our Suns also possess this uncontrolled Sacred Object, originally prepared for Guang Yao to try and master, but he’s still a little unripe. It’s directly given to you, as you have a greater chance. Consider it part of the dowry.”
One must say, the Supreme Elder’s boldness was indeed astonishing.
You could tell from the scene that this decision was not informed to all present beforehand, only Sun Guanghui’s brothers and two other top Catastrophe Level individuals had relatively calm expressions, likely forewarned, while the others started to discuss quietly.
But on the whole, there were few dissenters, the majority were willing to agree.
“Such a terrifying talent should be supported wholeheartedly.”
“Once Yu becomes a Saint, any troubles can be effortlessly resolved!”
“But the Sacred Object needs to be compatible too. It’s unknown if Yu’s abilities will reject the soul beads. After all, it should primarily suit his strengths.”
“Sacred Objects are hard to find; even after so many years, we’ve only obtained these two, and only three families in Starshine have more than two.”
“Hey, it’s always been about the person adapting to the Sacred Object, indeed there’s no luxury of choosing…”
“Luck also plays a big part.”
Overall, everyone was in agreement; now the concern was whether this Sacred Object would be incompatible with Tao Yu.
After all, Sacred Objects are serendipitous.
And Tao Yu, looking at that ominous soul beads and feeling its intense calling, actually felt somewhat speechless.
Seems like a fitting twist…
But Tao Yu wasn’t lacking Sacred Objects.
This thing was of a lower grade compared to the Immortal Slayer Sword and the Spear of Longinus and didn’t have a skill fit like the Rinnegan; in his hands, it would only be a tool for occasional use. So, he proactively spoke,
“As for Sacred Objects, my mentor has prepared ones that are completely compatible with me, so you don’t need to worry.”
Upon hearing this, the people felt intensely shocked, their eyes lighting up.
But thinking about it, it seemed normal. With such strength and talent, it was only natural to be noticed by a Saint and taken as a disciple!
While Saints might prefer to nurture their own family’s geniuses, there are always exceptions!
To be able to present a personally tailored Sacred Object, the mentor must be either a Saint or a Quasi-Saint with the means to seek inheritors for the corresponding Sacred Object!
There should be no other options!
Even the Supreme Elder of the Suns was visibly moved at this moment and solemnly said,
“Then can we meet your mentor? Marriage is a major event, your mentor should also offer some advice.”
Two for the price of one?
“Ah, my teacher is a bit peculiar when it comes to temper. I’ve asked about the marriage, and he said to handle it myself. You don’t need to worry; I can persuade him if necessary.”
Tao Yu’s words made the already eager atmosphere even more exhilarating.
The pressure from the Xing Family is unquestionable.
In fact, the Suns’ choice is simple, just to drag out time, until the Supreme Elder becomes a Saint!
This period is all about passive defense.
Meet soldiers with generals and water with earth!
Even with a little more choice now, it’s just another drag until Tao Yu becomes a Saint.
As for the backup from a Saint, although the Suns have some sentimental connections, it’s not solid enough to make a Saint confront the Xing Family, who controls the Flame of Civilization, face-to-face; better not to mention it.
Actually, in their eyes, Tao Yu’s mentor is more likely just to facilitate a cultural fight, perhaps make an appearance at the wedding to show support, a deterrent to the Xing Family.
For actual life-or-death conflict, that’s obviously impossible.
Saints are far too precious; this isn’t just about money and benefits.
“Ha ha, my oversight indeed. Now, Yu, you say what you’re lacking, we do have some inventory left and will try to fulfill your needs as much as possible.”
“Heart of the World, my new talent is quite important, but still in need of some Heart of the World for activation, and additionally, I’m greatly in need of Yuan Force, as much as there is, I want it all.”
Tao Yu directly stated two of the most universally useful items. Actually, he also wanted to talk about Skills, but the Pollution from excellent skills is too high, uniquely, this aspect is something no one can ever expose.
