"Yes, another one was given to Lili by my grandmother earlier. Father just said he was going to send someone to call me, is there something the matter?"
"It’s , the Heavenly King sent a secret letter, proposing a marriage alliance with our clan. The candidate is Jun Xiangyi. Among you all who are unmarried, is there anyone willing to volunteer?"
The unmarried ones are: Third Prince Xu Mohan, Sixth Prince An Zhenchi, Seventh Prince Long Chan, Eighth Prince Su XinXing, Ninth Prince Su Changzhi, Tenth Prince Shan Langyuan, Eleventh Prince Wu Ling, and Thirteenth Prince Sangtian Ye.
Everyone has arrived, except for Su Changzhi.
"Father, you don’t need to call for me for such matters in the future. You are about to become a grandfather, finding a stepmother for my two children, they won’t be happy to acknowledge you as their grandfather."
Hearing his seventh son’s words, the Netherworld King’s mouth twitched, "Your situation is special, do as you wish."
"Brother Nine isn’t listed in the marriage arrangement either, why didn’t he come?" Tenth Prince Shan Langyuan asked in surprise.
"Did someone call for the Ninth Prince?" the Netherworld King asked the brat beside him.
"We went to call him, but the Ninth Prince is not in the mansion, we don’t know where he is."
"My prince knows where Ninth Brother is, he must be at Lin Yueer’s residence. If you look there, you’ll find him." Long Yubei spoke up.
"Lin Yueer?" The Netherworld King had been really busy lately, with no mind to bother with such trivial matters, "He’s with Lin Yueer now?"
"He has divorced Lili. As far as my prince knows, it’s not really because of the children’s matter that things became serious, but because he’s gotten together with Lin Yueer." Check latest chapters at NoveI[F]ire.net
"This Lin Yueer has made fools of both of you. You’re really bewitched." The Netherworld King instructed the brat, "Go and call the Ninth Prince here."
The brat promptly went to do as told.
"Father, I have been unfilial, having upset you several times before over Lin Yueer. It will never happen again. My prince has already completely severed ties with Lin Yueer."
"As long as you are fully sober now, that’s fine. As your father, I’ve looked left and right, and can’t see what’s so good about that vixen." The Netherworld King continued the previous topic, "Before Ninth arrives, let me ask a few of you, who actually has this thought?"
Everyone was unanimously silent, indicating without words that none had this thought.
"Those without the thought, we’ll go by the old rules. I will call names, and whoever I call will carry out the task. No objections allowed."
Everyone bowed their heads, knowing well that their father doesn’t play by ordinary rules. The order of marriage for their previous brothers wasn’t by age but by the father’s choice.
As soon as the Netherworld King spoke, the other princes immediately felt relieved, only for the relief to disappear in the next second.
"You, who are not participating, stand back. Let your brothers and sisters stand towards the center."
Long Yubei couldn’t help but snicker, stepping back two to three meters on his own.
The Netherworld King sat upright on the high seat, looking down at his sons.
"Boss, second, and other older sons are already married. Mohan, you as the Third Prince, if you don’t marry, they will laugh at you. This time it’s your turn."
"My prince has clarified my stance more than once, that I will not marry until I find the woman my heart desires," Xu Mohan said indifferently, "Please father, retract your order."
"Exactly because you have raised this to me more than once, I haven’t chosen you in the past and have given you enough time. So many years have passed and you are still single. What more do you have to say? It’s not that I didn’t give you the chance to find the woman you like; it’s you who hasn’t found one, so you can’t blame me for choosing you now." The Netherworld King declared decisively, "Jun Xiangyi is a suitable match for you. Once I discuss the date with the Heavenly King, you will wed."
