This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 795 - 58: Blood Spirit Crystal (Please Subscribe)_3

"Mingyue, Qing Ge has indeed mastered the Bing Syllable Mantra," seeing that Lu Qingshan did not argue, Shi Wu Demon Venerable looked at him with an additional trace of appreciation and took the initiative to speak on his behalf, "If the two of you must fight to determine victory, it’s certainly not guaranteed that you would win."

Having said that, Shi Wu Demon Venerable turned and walked back to the main hall.

"He actually...?!" Ying Mingyue’s pupils shrank upon hearing this, she stood frozen in place, her face filled with disbelief.

As a member of the War Demon Clan, how could she not know the power of the Bing Syllable Mantra?

In fact, Shi Wu Demon Venerable’s words were quite polite.

Once the Bing Syllable Mantra was used, Qing Ge, who was only inferior in cultivation, but superior in all other aspects, would have no difficulty defeating her.

This, she did not doubt at all.

But...

How could this guy be so strong?!

It was one thing for his martial skills to be superb, but could someone who’s just a Low-Ranking Demon General actually master the Bing Syllable Mantra?

As a beloved daughter of Shi Wu Demon Venerable, she had also been exposed to the Bing Syllable Mantra early on, but alas, she never quite grasped it.

Something she couldn’t accomplish, he had done...

Ying Mingyue took another look at Lu Qingshan, who remained calm.

He was clearly so powerful with strength surpassing her own, yet when faced with her mockery just now, he didn’t argue at all.

Triumphant but not arrogant.

With this thought, influenced by Lu Qingshan’s dignified demeanor and her subconscious admiration for strength, Ying Mingyue suddenly found the aversion in her heart towards "Qing Ge" had inexplicably faded greatly.

This was only after one battle...

Lu Qingshan was unaware of Ying Mingyue’s change of heart and silently followed Shi Wu Demon Venerable back to the council hall.

Ying Mingyue remained standing in place, watching the backs of the two. She bit her lips, then finally followed them.

......

......

In the main hall.

The three of them sat down again.

"About the wedding date, when do you two think would be the most appropriate time?" As soon as they sat down, Shi Wu Demon Venerable went straight to the point.

Lu Qingshan furrowed his brows, about to say something, when Ying Mingyue suddenly interjected eagerly, "Ten years, no... in twenty years."

"Nonsense!" Shi Wu Demon Venerable scolded lightly, "Qing Ge has already arrived, where’s the sense in marrying twenty years later? People who don’t know might think our Ying Family is bullying Qing Ge!" ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Being reprimanded like this, Ying Mingyue felt guilty and muttered, "Then, three years... I have no feelings for him yet, how can we just marry right away?"

"Feelings can be cultivated after the marriage," Shi Wu Demon Venerable said matter-of-factly, "Three years is too long, it’s better to marry sooner rather than later."

"What do you think, Qing Ge?" Shi Wu Demon Venerable turned to ask for Lu Qingshan’s opinion.

His attitude had unconsciously become much more amiable compared to before.

Lu Qingshan pretended to ponder.

In truth, he could not be more in agreement with Ying Mingyue’s proposition.

Let alone ten or twenty years, he would be fine with marrying her a hundred years later.

Otherwise, was he really expected to marry someone from the Demon Race?

He was not willing to do that.

Even though Ying Mingyue was good-looking and had an attractive figure, no matter what, she was still from the Demon Race.

The Human Race and the Demon Race were natural enemies.

Besides, the women he knew—Zang Xiaojian, Qin Yitian, Lin Yao, Xia Daoyun... which one wasn’t more beautiful than Ying Mingyue?

......

However, after all, he was playing the role of Qing Ge.

From the perspective of Qing Ge, he should be eager to get married right away.

"Getting married in three years isn’t too big of an issue—I can accept it."

Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment and spoke indifferently, "If Miss Mingyue is reluctant to marry me in such haste, I can respect her wishes."

Ying Mingyue turned her head sharply, her eyes flashing as she looked at Lu Qingshan.

She was well aware that Qing Ge was willing to be a son-in-law only for the sake of the Blood Divine Sand Vein.

Naturally, it would be better to marry sooner, and then secure the vein for himself.

Moreover, as a son-in-law who had already arrived but delayed the wedding, the kind of looks and gossip he might face could well be imagined.

She had never expected "Qing Ge" to speak up for her.

Yet, that was exactly what happened.

Was it... to respect her wishes?

Ying Mingyue did not know if Lu Qingshan was sincere or just posturing.

But at that moment, she truly discarded all feelings of aversion she held against Lu Qingshan.

Shi Wu Demon Venerable was also somewhat surprised and couldn’t help but take another look at Lu Qingshan.

The room fell silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

"Although the two of you agree to marry in three years, if we actually did so, people might think that our Shi Wu lineage is bullying others."

"Moreover, Qing Ge, you would face plenty of criticism in Jian Luo King City if we delay too long."

After a pause, Shi Wu Demon Venerable actively broke the silence, speaking in an indisputable tone, "Let’s meet halfway, set your wedding date for six months from now."

"Half a year should be enough time for you to cultivate feelings," Shi Wu Demon Venerable turned to Ying Mingyue and said, his voice unusually tinged with a hint of rebuke.

If "Qing Ge" really were to be left hanging in Jian Luo King City for three years before getting married, Ao Ren Demon Venerable would likely come knocking to settle scores with him.

Shi Wu Demon Venerable was very clear about the pros and cons.

Half a year was already a compromise he reached out of extreme fondness for Ying Mingyue.

"Half a year it is, then..." Ying Mingyue replied meekly.
