Chapter 2509 - 1454:
No such spirit of cultivating culinary skills like Sun Zi’an!
Feng Qingcheng was furious and hateful seeing so many people surround Su Chang’an!
How could the man she fancied be snatched by others?
She could only resort to verbal sarcasm, picking on their looks, picking on their family background.
Among them, there were girls from the Ten Great Clans, those she couldn’t criticize directly, she said they obviously wouldn’t get Su Chang’an’s attention, so they should forget about it!
Everyone wanted to become a Noble Family Lady; the first lady position was something others wanted to compete for, regardless of their background, they’d seize any opportunity to contend.
Who is more noble than whom?
Well, let’s investigate!
Feng Qingcheng’s words offended some of the girls, and these girls, who knew others, weren’t so united before.
Now, because of Feng Qingcheng’s words, knowing Feng Qingcheng’s shameless persistence and audacious behavior, they retaliated without considering the consequences.
"Oh dear, isn’t this Feng Qingcheng, the troublesome and capricious girl from the Feng Family, still thinking she’s an esteemed young lady? Your family is just a first-class family in the Capital, what’s with the arrogance and criticism?
Have you looked in the mirror? When you talk about others, why not look in the mirror? The Capital isn’t short of first-class families, even our family surpasses yours, how can you shamelessly criticize others?"
...
Feng Qingcheng realized the girl speaking against her was actually a daughter of the Tang Family, but as for the name?
She truly didn’t know, just saw the Tang Family’s emblem on the young lady’s attire.
Feng Qingcheng knew her family indeed couldn’t compare to the Tang Family.
But for Su Chang’an, losing face wasn’t an option.
For love, for interests, while contending for a man, she couldn’t lose in terms of aura.
Isn’t it just a matter of snatching a man?
Then let’s see who’s more shameless.
Feng Qingcheng carelessly chuckled: "I’m from a first-class family, I lower my status, I strive beyond my reach, but what about you? Who are you? Are you just like me, another daughter of the Tang Family?"
"Sisters, look at such shameless Feng Qingcheng, she truly amazes us, I’ve seen her behave this way more than once."
A daughter of the Dugu Family, having met Feng Qingcheng at a particular Magical Treasure event, witnessing her pestering Su Chang’an in such a shameless manner.
"Seeing her, she’s shameless, yet talks about us wanting to meet Su Chang’an. There’s nothing wrong with that. Is her domineering behavior appropriate? Does she compare to me?"
A daughter of the Zhang Family from the Ten Great Clans spoke.
The Zhang Family daughter was Zhang Nianjiao, a cousin in the same clan, with high standards, currently unmarried, and this gathering of the Ten Great Clans’ sons and daughters was an opportunity for her.
With lofty aspirations, the Zhang Family daughter actually has her sights set on a person: Su Chang’an, among other family heads from different surnames, as their target.
Many have aligned interests, beyond a few family heads, other male family members are also under scrutiny, setting their sights on these men.
People from the Ten Great Clans are all competing for target figures; they are already overwhelmed and how could they allow non-clan members to compete for husbands with them?
Feng Qingcheng’s capabilities aren’t equal to theirs, her background isn’t either; if she wants to compete with them, she has to consider if they will allow it.
Witnessing the shamelessness of the Feng Family members, they decided to show them tough treatment.
Through words and other means suppress, only then could they completely prevent, utilizing their familial advantages.
Feng Qingcheng’s abilities don’t match these girls’, and when they speak, she can’t come off as arrogant.
Remaining silent doesn’t mean being bullied, just enduring.
Can these people really prevent, after this banquet, that she can’t continue pursuing?
Feng Qingcheng, once she sets a target, won’t easily give up, even if she can’t become the fiancée, isn’t there still a chance? As long as there’s no marriage, there’s a chance.
Moreover, being the woman of such an excellent man isn’t a bad choice.
Who knows, who will be the final player in the game?
Feng Qingcheng already envisioned herself as a Noble Family Lady in the future, bringing her maternal family along, then capable of dealing with those who trouble her now.
She memorized the faces of those presently troubling her, managing to take revenge one day.
Su Chang’an knew he was remembered, but not that so many people had their eyes on him.
Meeting other friends again, they too exchanged similar glances, urging marriage didn’t sit well with them.
When their careers hadn’t yet stabilized, when their cultivation still needed improvement, many had no heart for marriage.
Other elders believed that at their age they should marry and have children, soon passing on to the next generation.
Su Chang’an felt that this generation wasn’t like the previous ones, neither like those of the past.
If someone expressed such views, he would counter elders by asking, at my age, did you possess my capabilities?
The answer was undoubtedly no, because this generation’s powerful breakthroughs also provided their elders opportunities to boost their abilities.
There is truly a chance for longevity.
Su Chang’an believed marrying at a hundred or two hundred years wasn’t late; after all, by then, he might have become a deity, wouldn’t the children born with better genes?
Such reasoning possibly comforted the elders, causing some to suggest that once settled, if there were favored women, he could first pursue them, and then settle down.
Su Chang’an instead used cultivation as a reason, devotedly pursuing improvement as an excuse to refuse a pre-arranged engagement, claiming he hadn’t yet favored any woman.
The family also couldn’t randomly assign him a partner.
Su Chang’an, having such ideas, even his elders couldn’t dictate his marriage, he had already become the Family Head at a young age.
With the responsibilities he carried, they hoped he had no concerns; if his eyesight was poor, and he truly found someone who caused domestic unrest, it’d be better not to marry.
Matrimonial selections required thoughtful consideration.
They would examine each woman attending the event this time, verifying every identity, slowly investigating their character.
In pursuing some indefinitely unsettled women, perhaps some would lose patience, and turn to choose among excellent men; gradually eliminating options, ultimately leaving those who genuinely liked Su Chang’an.
And not because of his status, but because of his abilities and being.
The Su Family Ancestor was also questioned, wondering if loneliness signaled choosing someone for company?
As a deity, how could there be no women beside him?
His previous wife had passed away, and those maidservants also passed due to the inability for longevity from their age.
Even as a thousand-plus-year-old ancestor, still appearing young, due to deity attributes, even choosing a young girl of 18 or 16, there were many pursuing him.
Not only just one.
Some families aimed for prosperity, wanting to choose the deity at hand, wouldn’t settle for young, incapable men.
This presented a trade-off of interests.
The Su Family Ancestor also considered, yes, having someone to care for him might mean caring for others.
In life, in some necessities, perhaps having women around became necessary.
The solitude over centuries, previously time wasted through cultivation, in the remainder of life, after becoming a deity leading to greater longevity, how could he bear loneliness?
The Su Family Ancestor pondered learning from Jiang Tang, forming contracts with more Elf Beauties would allow him to have these delightful beauties for company.
Certainly, choices existed among the women who wished to marry, choosing companions for himself.
No matter what a woman thought, or what her family desired?
All it involved were interests; as long as he liked what he saw, these distributed interests meant little.
The Su Family Ancestor agreed with the family’s younger generation, having a few Noble Family Girls arranged to serve by his side.
In future live streams, aside from assistants, these women would assist.
As a Deity, having more considerations brought more responsibilities, he could emulate Jiang Tang, choosing to help others across realms, thus earning merit.
Su Chang’an assumed the role arranged by the Tower Master as a host, following the banquet, once assistants had studied enough.
