Chapter 1085 — The Yu-Song Marriage Alliance
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Yes!" Yu Shuixing said. "As things stand, the only ones among the noble houses who could be stronger than Qiu Lingshan are the scions of our Yu family! If you are willing, Elder Song, we might join our two families in marriage!"
"Ah!" Song Xiangwen was stunned. He had never expected that even the Yu family would extend him an olive branch! In the past, an alliance with the Yu family had been beyond Song Xiangwen's daring to imagine, but now, with Qiu Lingshan's strength risen, all of it had become reality!
"What, Elder Song? By the look of it, you seem less than willing?" Yu Shuixing asked with a smile.
"How could I be? I was merely startled! By the way, your son has never appeared before anyone's eyes — he is now...?" Song Xiangwen thought an alliance with the Yu family was good indeed, but if the Yu family's scion were too worthless, Qiu Lingshan would certainly refuse; so he must first ask clearly.
"My son is at present a mid Mystic Stage expert!" Here Yu Shuixing could not help but feel proud! Among all these noble houses, it was only the Yu family's younger generation who had reached such a height!
"What! Your son is already a mid Mystic Stage expert!" Hearing Yu Shuixing's words, Song Xiangwen could not help but be greatly startled!
If that were so, a mid Mystic Stage was more than a match for his own granddaughter — and at this thought, Song Xiangwen was overjoyed! Not only would he find a rare and excellent grandson-in-law, but he would also draw in the Yu family as a top-tier support!
"Heh, I daresay he is about to break through as well!" Yu Shuixing began to boast.
"So young, and already a Mystic Stage expert!" Song Xiangwen could not help but exclaim. "This old man truly has grown old!"
"Well then, Elder Song, what do you think of my proposal?" Yu Shuixing asked.
"Not bad! I have no objection!" Song Xiangwen could not have been more satisfied — this was a blessing dropped from the heavens!
The Song family's troubles were resolved at a stroke. With the Yu family at their back, the Song family could go on flourishing among the noble houses; and Yu Feng's strength fully met his granddaughter's standard for a husband, so she ought to be well satisfied with it too!
"Very well then. If you have no objection, Elder Song, let us settle the matter thus for now!" Yu Shuixing settled it outright, then said: "In a few days I shall bring my son to pay you a visit, Elder Song, and we shall fix the matter then."
Though Yu Shuixing was head of the Yu family, he was after all of the younger generation, and now that he was forming an alliance with the Song family, Elder Song was in name and in truth his elder; naturally he must still pay the visit.
Song Xiangwen did not refuse either. "Good. When the time comes, I shall do the honors of a host!" he said cheerfully.
Qiu Lingshan did not yet know that her marriage had been settled just like that by her grandfather. Had she known, she would likely have died of fury! How could she possibly marry into the Yu family? Yet Song Xiangwen still believed his granddaughter would be perfectly content with it!
And Yu Shuixing, after finishing his talk with Song Xiangwen, once again dialed his son Yu Feng's number. He had decided to tell his son about the matter, and to ask after his progress while he was at it.
