You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 162 - 5. Both required_2

Lin Yue, relying on the Blood Lotus Lamp Barrier, bluntly said, "The fifth Qi Family miss is still young and naive, with shallow schemes and an immature mind, easier to manipulate. If I were to marry her, I’m confident I could make her devoted to me."

"Moreover..."

He paused, then smiled again, "This girl pretends to be a boy, aiming to assist the Duke Heng’s estate in continuing its lineage. Her intentions are clear. As long as I support her to ascend to a high position in Duke Heng’s estate in the future, I can also control Duke Heng’s estate through her."

Upon hearing this, Baili Fengzhi said, "My lord, you are, after all, a Prince and have granted great favors to the Qi Family. Even if you do not marry this girl, it shouldn’t matter, should it?"

"Great favors? Prince?"

Lin Yue shook his head and said, "Your point is not wrong for now because Lord Qi is still here. But what about after Lord Qi passes away? Will the Qi Family really feel at ease betting their future on me, the weakest Prince? I doubt it. Perhaps they would turn to support another prince."

"As for favors..." he sneered with a mocking smile, "in the face of the rise and fall of a family, personal gratitude is even less worth mentioning."

Baili Fengzhi was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "In that case, my lord indeed needs to control someone like the fifth miss of the Qi Family to ensure that Duke Heng’s estate stands with my lord."

Lin Yue nodded and said, "The power of the guest elders in Duke Heng’s estate is also a significant force. Although I am currently in a period of laying low, I still need to make more contacts and understand the Qi Family better."

Baili Fengzhi stated, "Tantian Sect is most adept at gathering intelligence and planting informants. Once Tantian Sect enters Di Hong City, your actions, my lord, will become much easier."

"The wondrous and strange arts of the Tantian Sect are indeed good at these matters," Lin Yue agreed with a nod.

Baili Fengzhi could not help but say, "So, my lord intends to marry the fifth miss of the Qi Family?"

"I am still hesitating," Lin Yue said with a slight shake of his head.

"Hesitating? Could it be that my lord has taken a fancy to the eldest miss of the Qi Family?" Baili Fengzhi asked.

"It seems so," Lin Yue said softly. "The eldest miss of the Qi Family received teachings in her dreams from a divine being, with even Duke Heng speaking obscurely and mysteriously. I have noticed she has significant backing, and marrying her could be of substantial benefit to me."

Baili Fengzhi realized the implications.

She, too, had secrets known by Lin Yue, though she did not know how he had come by them. Nonetheless, with the Tantian Sect’s treasure in his possession and his knowledge of many secrets...

From what she had investigated afterward, it seemed that Lin Yue’s personality and behavior had changed over the past year, leading her to suspect... perhaps Lin Yue was also the reincarnation of some great figure, but with only pieces of his memories awakened?

But that was just her guess.

"What do you think?" Lin Yue looked towards Baili Fengzhi. "Which should I choose?"

This was not really about choosing which Miss Qi to marry, but rather choosing between the visible, more stable future, or the unknown but potentially more rewarding future?

"So, that’s what my lord is hesitating over."

Baili Fengzhi, however, spoke softly, "In that case, this subordinate believes my lord doesn’t need to agonize over it. Since my lord sees benefits in both women, then why not take them both, and not bother choosing?"

"Both?" Lin Yue was astonished.

Still harboring some modern thinking, he had not consciously considered the idea of marrying sisters at the same time.

"My lord, if you request it, I believe Lord Qi would not refuse," Baili Fengzhi said calmly. "Besides, my lord is the most esteemed Prince between heaven and earth, and the Misses of the Qi Family are not worthy of being your main wife; what difference does it make if you marry them both?"

Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly.

That was indeed true.

Princes in Great Yong, compared to the princes in Earth’s historical dynasties, were entirely different matters.

In Great Yong, it was predestined that the Princes would become fearsome Great Powers!

The Divine Emperor was the heaven of Great Yong, thus, the Princes were the strongest among this realm!

Such Princes, also the reincarnation of the Great Powers of the eras, were by right at least top fighters of the Holy Lands, to be qualified as principal wives.

What did marrying two daughters of the Qi Family count for?

Lin Yue could not help but shake his head and laugh, "What the general says is not wrong, it’s just a pity that my wings are not yet full, and I still rely on the Qi Family. If I forcibly marry the two Misses of the Qi Family destined for marriage, I’m afraid it will cause quite a bit of trouble."

"Trouble?" Baili Fengzhi asked doubtfully.

"You may not have noticed," Lin Yue said. "Today, when Miss Qi the eldest and the fifth came to see me, I saw several men in the courtyard outside the main hall looking around frequently. I took a closer look; those men were all dressed as guest elders, presumably suitors of the Miss Qi."

"I noticed them, they are just cultivators from the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier," Baili Fengzhi said. "They are merely guest elders of Duke Heng’s estate; how would they dare to compete with my lord?"

Lin Yue pondered for a moment before saying, "The guest elder’s dwellings take up a full three or four tenths of this estate. Lord Qi has arranged it so guest elders must be a significant force that needs careful placement. With such a diverse group, many will undoubtedly support different factions within the Qi Family."

"How could those with the courage and status to pursue Miss Qi lack backing by the powerful?"

Lin Yue proceeded, "So, if I were to forcibly marry the two Misses of the Qi Family who are ready for marriage, I’m afraid it would cause the higher-ups among the guest elders to have grievances against me, which might influence Duke Heng’s estate’s perception of me."

"Does that mean, Your Highness, that you can only marry one?" Baili Fengzhi frowned slightly.

After all, being a rough person from the battlefield, she would not think of so many convoluted matters.

"Yes, I plan to marry Qi Wanqiu, the eldest miss of the Qi Family," Lin Yue nodded slightly.

Baili Fengzhi asked with confusion, "My lord, even if the eldest Miss Qi has important connections behind her, it’s through a layer of separation and somewhat uncertain, right? Wouldn’t marrying the fifth miss give a better grasp on controlling the Qi Family?"
