Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 568 - 540: The Alliance Hierarch Plays Matchmaker

Being in a gang was all about brotherhood, and Marquis Ouyang had secured his position as the Alliance Hierarch of Tianxia Alliance precisely because his treatment of his "brothers" was beyond reproach.

However, as time passed and conflicts over interests arose, some people gradually forgot the concept of "brotherhood," like Zuo Yunfei, who had once fought alongside Marquis Ouyang. While Marquis Ouyang was ill, Zuo Yunfei eagerly expanded his power and even attempted to kill Fairy Zixia, coveting the position of Alliance Hierarch, deeply hurting Marquis Ouyang.

Now, Marquis Ouyang still had two reliable people under him, Fairy Zixia and Duke Chu, the Third Elder. But the combined forces of Fairy Zixia and Duke Chu were no match for Zuo Yunfei, the Second Elder. Therefore, Marquis Ouyang wanted to cultivate a new member to assist Fairy Zixia and Duke Chu, and gradually eradicate Zuo Yunfei and Liang Sihai.

The new recruit Marquis Ouyang had chosen was Lin Tian.

What he appreciated was Lin Tian's ability and loyalty to his brothers.

In regard to Marquis Ouyang's third point, Lin Tian was in total agreement and quite proud; he was wholeheartedly devoted to his brothers, ready to fight tooth and nail for them.

At Marquis Ouyang's praise, Lin Tian didn't know what to say at the moment and could only respond modestly, "Alliance Hierarch, you flatter me too much. I didn't realize I had so many good qualities."

Marquis Ouyang smiled and continued, "So, Lin Tian, have you decided? If you join Tianxia Alliance, your status will be equivalent to Fairy Zixia's. If you don't mind, I could adopt you as my sworn son, and in the future, you and Fairy Zixia can jointly manage the Tianxia Alliance."

"No, no, no." Unexpectedly, Lin Tian hurriedly refused.

Marquis Ouyang's expression turned somewhat ugly; after all, being the Alliance Hierarch and getting rejected was somewhat embarrassing.

Fairy Zixia interjected, "Lin Tian, you really don't know what's good for you. So many people beg to be my father's grandchildren, and he refuses them. And here you are, daring to refuse my father, what do you take my father for?"

Lin Tian also felt embarrassed and was unable to refute, mumbling without knowing how to proceed.

"Do not be rude." Marquis Ouyang rebuked Fairy Zixia.

"Dad," Fairy Zixia pouted, looking aggrieved.

Marquis Ouyang continued, "Lin Tian, is it that you don't want to be my sworn son or you don't want to join Tianxia Alliance? If it's just about not being my sworn son, that's fine, I can give you the status of an Elder. But if you're considering not joining Tianxia Alliance, I hope you reconsider. It would truly be a waste of your talents not to join us."

Lin Tian's eyes darted around, thinking that he didn't want either, especially becoming your son. It was simply impossible. He had parents, and they treated him very well. He had no intention of being someone else's son.

The first request by Marquis Ouyang was easy to refuse, but how about the second?

After all, he was the Alliance Hierarch, and more importantly, they had once saved Lin Tian's life. Now they were at a disadvantage, and with Zuo Yunfei looming aggressively, would it be too inhumane to refuse?

But Lin Tian really did not want to join Tianxia Alliance, let alone become the Alliance Hierarch. The Alliance Hierarch's responsibilities were many, and he didn't even wish to involve himself in Tianyi Pharma, let alone take on the role of an Alliance Hierarch.

After much thought, Lin Tian decided to refuse tactfully, agreeing halfway and declining halfway.

Lin Tian said, "Being an elder, let alone your sworn son, is really beyond me, given your status as Alliance Hierarch."

"About joining Tianxia Alliance… uh… I really cherish my freedom, I'm afraid of constraints, and I like simplicity, so I'd rather not formally become a member of Tianxia Alliance. However, if you ever need me, you can call me, send a QQ message, or a WeChat message, and I will definitely come to help, even at the risk of my life."

Having said that, he took out paper and pen, quickly writing down his phone number, QQ number, and WeChat ID.

"Ungrateful," Fairy Zixia muttered, but still took Lin Tian's contact information.

Marquis Ouyang felt a bit awkward but didn't force Lin Tian. He then said to Fairy Zixia, "Zixia, Lin Tian doesn't like red wine. Go and get the white spirit I've saved; I want to have a good drink with Lin Tian."

"Alliance Hierarch, there's no need for such fuss, I…!" Lin Tian hastily declined, honestly admitting that he didn't really understand liquor. For him, drinking a cheap eight-yuan liquor or an eighty-thousand yuan bottle of Moutai made no difference.

Marquis Ouyang interrupted Lin Tian, insisting on his plan, and then Fairy Zixia went out to fetch the liquor.

After Fairy Zixia left, Marquis Ouyang leaned in close to Lin Tian and asked, "Lin Tian, do you think my daughter is beautiful?"

"Beautiful, yes!"

Lin Tian responded without hesitation; anyone who said Fairy Zixia wasn't beautiful must be blind or clueless.

Marquis Ouyang asked, "Do you like her?"

That was too direct, Lin Tian thought to himself. Why was he asking this? Could he possibly be thinking…!

"I do like her," Lin Tian nodded, then added, "I like all beautiful women. What man doesn't like a beautiful woman!"

Marquis Ouyang continued, "Lin Tian, the only people I trust now are Zixia and the third one, but the third one isn't cut out to be the Alliance Hierarch. Zixia, although capable, is a woman after all. Leading the Tianxia Alliance, there will be many subordinates who will not accept her. If you join my Tianxia Alliance, I will let Fairy Zixia marry you. Together as husband and wife, you will surely make the Tianxia Alliance thrive."

What!

Lin Tian was totally flabbergasted. He really hadn't expected that Marquis Ouyang would go so far as to offer his own daughter to recruit him.

But on second thought, having Fairy Zixia with Lin Tian wasn't so bad. Lin Tian was handsome and strong, and also the founder of Tianyi Pharma. They were well matched, and such a great man was hard to find.

Lin Tian fantasized about holding Fairy Zixia's delicate body, stripping her clothes off one by one, her pale skin exposed before his eyes, and the very thought excited him.

However, this idea died almost as soon as it formed, for three reasons.

First, he wasn't willing to join the Tianxia Alliance, and Marquis Ouyang had said that only after joining the Tianxia Alliance could Fairy Zixia marry him.

Second, he already had several wives, and their beauty matched that of Zixia. Taking another wife, Lin Tian felt it would be unfair to them.

The third reason was a bit more sinister; Lin Tian's wives were very obedient, willing to play however he liked, even accommodating some rather extreme positions to satisfy him.

But Fairy Zixia, with her sharp flying dagger skills and being the Alliance Hierarch's daughter, had such a fiery character and was quick to kill. If they truly got together, Lin Tian feared he wouldn't be able to tame her and might end up being dominated in bed.

All in all, Fairy Zixia was a rose with thorns, admirable from afar but dangerous to touch, worthy of fantasies but not to be held too closely.

Then, with some reluctance, Lin Tian declined, "Alliance Hierarch, I already have two wives. Fairy Zixia is your daughter. Marrying her to me would be unfair to you and her. It would be too much of a sacrifice for her."

Lin Tian said this, believing that Marquis Ouyang wouldn't insist. Could he really be so heartless as to make Fairy Zixia the lesser wife?

Who could have thought, Marquis Ouyang's response was far beyond Lin Tian's expectations.

He said, "A man having three wives and four concubines is no big deal. I won't mind how many wives you have, and neither will Zixia. As long as you treat Zixia well and keep a place for her in your heart, she will willingly marry you."

Gosh, when Marquis Ouyang said that, Lin Tian felt like his entire worldview had collapsed. The daughter of the esteemed Alliance Hierarch, to be his concubine? Even the Alliance Hierarch agreed to it—what was this madness!

However, Marquis Ouyang had his own calculations. Nowadays, society wasn't like the ancient times, when wives had a clear hierarchy. In ancient times, secondary wives, called concubines, held status equal to servants and were not even allowed to eat at the table.

But in today's society, a secondary wife is called a mistress, and a mistress's status can be much better than the primary wife. Importantly, with Fairy Zixia's personality and skill, even if Lin Tian had a hundred wives, Marquis Ouyang still believed that Zixia would be the queen of Lin Tian's harem.

This was also why, even knowing Lin Tian already had two wives, Marquis Ouyang still wanted to marry Zixia to him.

Having said so much, Lin Tian felt that if he agreed to join the Tianxia Alliance according to Marquis Ouyang's wishes, he could embrace Fairy Zixia's delicate body tonight—boom!

Thinking about that scene made Lin Tian excited!

But as excited as he was, Lin Tian wasn't completely ruled by his desires. He still believed that Fairy Zixia was a rose with thorns, definitely not to be touched.

He asked, "Alliance Hierarch, how does Fairy Zixia view this matter?"

"Oh, I haven't talked to her about it yet," Marquis Ouyang replied.

What?

For the first time, Lin Tian felt that Marquis Ouyang was also unreliable—speaking of marriage without even Fairy Zixia's consent. He'd just been fantasizing about agreeing with Marquis Ouyang and having a night with Fairy Zixia—turns out even if he agreed, there was still the hurdle of Zixia's consent!

The realm of that wild night was still far, far away.

Lin Tian's mood suddenly dropped. He felt deceived.

But in a way, it was good—it provided an excuse for Lin Tian. If Zixia thought like Marquis Ouyang and intentionally lay naked on the bed, at that moment, Lin Tian doubted he could restrain himself. After a night of passion, he'd be working for the Tianxia Alliance for life.

That would definitely not be worth it!

He tactfully declined, "Alliance Hierarch, for matters like this, mutual willingness is better. Love can't be forced. Zixia and I have only met a few times, and she doesn't have the best impression of me. To be forced together under pressure would not lead to a happy marriage. As her father, surely you wouldn't want Fairy Zixia to be unhappy all her life, would you?"

"Uh… yes, of course, I want Zixia to be happy," Marquis Ouyang quickly said.
