Lu Chen had just left Liu Qingqiu’s courtyard when Liu Qingyun came over.

Seeing Liu Qingqiu lost in thought, Liu Qingyun asked coldly, "Qingqiu, do you know what you just did?"

Liu Qingqiu came back to her senses, looked up at Liu Qingyun, and directly said, "Sister, I want to marry Lu Chen."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyun was completely stunned.

Her sister had just met Lu Chen for the first time and already wanted to marry him.

Had Lu Chen bewitched her? They hadn’t even figured out Lu Chen’s background.

Liu Qingyun quickly recovered and said without hesitation, "No! You don’t even know who he is, and you want to marry him? What are you thinking?"

Liu Qingyun was somewhat baffled; her sister didn’t seem like someone who acted so impulsively.

They had met many Heavenly Prides in Central State, but Liu Qingqiu had never been interested in any man, always obsessed with cultivation.

Yet today, after meeting Lu Chen for the first time, she had the idea to marry him, which was extremely mysterious.

Liu Qingqiu said, "Sister, we’ve just arrived at the Border Wilderness; to establish ourselves here, we need backing."

"Lu Chen can persuade the Deceit Saint, and he has the strength of Instant Kill Saint Realm. If he becomes our Liu Family’s backing, we could quickly stabilize in the Border Wilderness and possibly grow strong in the future."

"Why can’t I marry him?"

Liu Qingyun said coldly, "The growth of the Liu Family doesn’t require you to sacrifice your happiness."

Liu Qingqiu replied, "I’m not sacrificing my happiness."

"Lu Chen’s talent is so good, and he has strength; his looks also match my preferences. There’s nothing wrong with me marrying him."

For a moment, Liu Qingyun was at a loss for words. She suddenly felt that Liu Qingqiu wanted to marry Lu Chen not just for the Liu Family, but because she had feelings for him.

Although Lu Chen was indeed handsome with great talent, this guy dealt with the mysterious and wasn’t necessarily a good person.

To entrust her sister to such a dangerous person, Liu Qingyun naturally didn’t want to, but she knew her sister was very stubborn. Once she made up her mind, nothing could change it.

Liu Qingyun had no choice but to continue persuading, "Sister, we can’t determine if the Deceit Saint behind him will really keep his word and protect humans."

"If you marry him now, it’s like a sheep entering a tiger’s lair."

"If that Deceit Saint deceives him, treating the Border Wilderness as his pasture, once he discovers you, you’ll be doomed."

Liu Qingqiu understood what her sister was worried about and said, "Sister, I have a feeling that the Deceit Saint truly protects humans."

"If he wanted to consume blood food, he would have gone to Central State long ago, not stayed in a place like the Border Wilderness."

"After all, he is a Deceit Saint. With his strength, if he went to Central State, even Spirit Martial Artists of the Emperor Realm would become his blood food."

"Since he hasn’t gone to Central State, it proves he truly has no interest in devouring Spirit Martial Artists."

Liu Qingyun realized Liu Qingqiu’s words were not without reason, but she was still worried, as anything was possible before interacting with the Deceit Saint.

When the Deceit Saint finally acts against them, it would be too late. They must remain cautious.

Liu Qingyun didn’t want to gamble her sister’s life on the disposition of a Deceit Saint.

Liu Qingqiu continued, "Moreover, I consider this paving the way for the Liu Family. Sister, aren’t you worried the Deceit Saint might deceive humans?"

"Once I marry Lu Chen, I’ll have a chance to approach the Deceit Saint. Then we can test whether that Deceit Saint genuinely protects humans."

Liu Qingyun immediately said, "No, I can’t gamble with your life. You’re my biological sister."

Liu Qingqiu declared, "I’m also part of the Liu Family. Why not? I’m contributing to the Liu Family."

Liu Qingyun wanted to say more, but Liu Qingqiu interrupted, "Sister, from childhood to now, I’ve never asked you for anything, but this time I hope you’ll agree."

Seeing Liu Qingqiu say this, Liu Qingyun was unsure how to persuade her.

They had relied on each other to survive until now, and it hadn’t been easy.

Liu Qingqiu had always been sensible, and this was her first time asking for something.

Liu Qingyun felt guilty towards her sister, and if not for Liu Qingqiu giving her resources, she couldn’t have become the Family Head.

Liu Qingyun was confused about the extent of Lu Chen’s charm.

Why did he make her sister fall in love at first sight?

Perhaps Lu Chen used some method to make her sister generate feelings for him.

If that was the case, she absolutely couldn’t let Liu Qingqiu marry Lu Chen.

However, she had no evidence to confirm her sister’s true feelings.

After some time, Liu Qingyun asked, "Did Lu Chen say anything to you earlier?"

"I don’t believe you could want to marry him after just one meeting, or did he use some method to make you devoted to him?"

Liu Qingqiu replied, "Nothing. I just felt he was very familiar at first sight, a fit for my aesthetic. Later, I thought he’d make a good darling, so I took the initiative to tell him I wanted to marry him."

Liu Qingyun asked, "Did he agree?"

Liu Qingqiu nodded.

Liu Qingyun fell silent once more.

Regarding a sense of familiarity with Lu Chen, she indeed felt the same way, as if she had seen him somewhere.

But for some reason, inwardly, she felt a strong aversion to Lu Chen.

Seeing her sister remain silent for a long time, Liu Qingqiu once again spoke, "Sister, please agree. Marrying Lu Chen is beneficial for both the Liu Family and me."

Liu Qingyun let out a long sigh and said, "Since your mind is made up, I won’t say more. I’ll go along with it."

Liu Qingyun wanted to stop her sister from marrying Lu Chen, but her sister was determined, making her words ineffective.

Even if she tried to stop her, her sister might secretly go to the Capital City to be with Lu Chen.

Since she couldn’t prevent it, she might as well let her sister openly marry Lu Chen, granting her a recognized status.

With Lu Chen’s talent, if he doesn’t falter, he will certainly reach Saint Realm, possibly even Emperor Realm strength in the future.

By then, even if her sister isn’t favored in Lu Chen’s harem, her status wouldn’t be low, and their Liu Family would benefit.

Seeing her sister agree, Liu Qingqiu was delighted and said, "Then I’ll tell Lu Chen right away."

Noting her sister’s eagerness, Liu Qingyun frowned slightly.

It’s still the Eternal Night period; why rush to marry now?

Her sister was too hasty.

Watching Liu Qingqiu leave, Liu Qingyun hesitated to speak but ultimately didn’t stop her.

After Liu Qingqiu left the courtyard, she inquired about Lu Chen’s location from the servants at the City Lord’s Mansion. Led by a servant, she went to Lu Chen’s residence.
