Chapter 891: Chapter 891: The Goddess Pursues Liu Zixuan

"Marry my daughter!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present into being glued to their spots, instantly petrified.

Liu Zixuan rubbed his ears vigorously and asked in astonishment, "Marry your daughter?"

"Mom, what are you saying!" Xiaoxiao reacted from the shock and tugged hard at the Great Elder’s arm, asking.

The Great Elder turned her head and smiled indulgently, "Xiaoxiao, don’t speak now. I’ll explain it to you in detail later."

Xiaoxiao widened her lovely eyes, "What explanation? We agreed to punish him, how has it turned into me marrying him!"

The Great Elder didn’t pay further attention to Xiaoxiao but instead looked at Liu Zixuan, "Either endure Hundred Swords Piercing the Heart and become a cripple, or marry my daughter, you choose!"

Despite wracking his brains, Liu Zixuan hadn’t expected that the second choice would be to marry Xiaoxiao.

First, since arriving at the Profound Sword Sect, whether elder or disciple, everyone described the Great Elder as an unreasonable person. Because he defeated Gu Huaqiu, even those elders dared not take Liu Zixuan in and only placed him with Qing Lao, the old janitor.

Secondly, he had just teased Xiaoxiao, and as Xiaoxiao’s mother and the Great Elder, she was sure to teach Liu Zixuan a harsh lesson.

Therefore, whether public or private, Liu Zixuan would face punishment from the Punishment Hall.

Of course, Liu Zixuan was someone who wouldn’t bow to any imposing force, so should there be truly unfair punishment, he would go to any lengths against the Great Elder!

Now suddenly presented with this situation, he was caught between laughter and tears.

He wasn’t stupid; Xiaoxiao was so beautiful and recognized as a goddess-level beauty in the Profound Sword Sect. Even when choosing a husband for her, they would inevitably choose the best among men, a genius among geniuses.

The Great Elder’s quick decision for Liu Zixuan to marry Xiaoxiao surely had deeper reasons behind it.

But he and the Great Elder were meeting for the first time, and they knew nothing about each other.

After pondering for a while, Liu Zixuan spoke, "What if I choose neither?"

"You must choose one, or I will kill you myself!"

The Great Elder coldly snorted, and suddenly the terrifying aura of the Emperor Realm burst forth, and a purple long sword appeared in her hand.

The daunting aura spread throughout the Punishment Hall, making it hard for everyone to breathe, except for the two Yangming elders.

Liu Zixuan frowned, "Then I’ll choose Hundred Swords Piercing the Heart!"

"Hey, what do you mean!"

Xiaoxiao hoped Liu Zixuan wouldn’t choose to marry her, but after all, she’s a great beauty, and in this situation, out of a hundred people, a hundred would surely choose to marry her.

This way, not only would he marry the goddess of the Profound Sword Sect, but also be spared the punishment, yet Liu Zixuan chose to suffer rather than marry her.

Doesn’t this prove that Liu Zixuan simply doesn’t fancy her as a goddess?

Any girl hearing such an answer would be quite displeased.

Not only was Xiaoxiao surprised, but both Yangming elders beside her gave a strange look.

And among the disciples, their feelings were mixed with joy and sorrow.

Joy because their goddess wouldn’t be chosen by Liu Zixuan.

Sadness seeing Liu Zixuan’s fate, thinking he was a fool, choosing Hundred Swords Piercing the Heart and becoming a cripple!

While everyone was puzzled, the Great Elder showed a peculiar smile.

"You’re indeed Liu Zixuan."

"Mom, what do you mean?" Xiaoxiao asked in great confusion.

"I’m helping choose your future husband!" the Great Elder smiled slightly and said to Liu Zixuan, "You have a good spirit. If you had directly chosen the second option, I would have killed you myself!"

With these words, everyone was even more perplexed.

She just said choosing the second option was marrying her daughter, yet now it seemed like she’d suddenly kill Liu Zixuan!

The Great Elder said leisurely, "If you chose the second option directly, it would only prove you’re a rogue, willing to flatter my daughter to avoid suffering. Preferring to become a cripple rather than bask in a woman’s favor proves you have the character to match my daughter!"

"So I’ve decided to entrust my daughter to you, and this punishment is waived!"

"Mom!"

"Great Elder!"

Everyone heard, but it was clear that the Great Elder’s decision was carefully considered, not something she blurted out casually.

For a moment, Xiaoxiao, the two elders beside her, and many disciples all spoke up.

The Great Elder waved her hand, "This is my decision, and no one can change it!"

"Great Elder."

This time, Liu Zixuan suddenly looked solemnly at the Great Elder, "I came to the Profound Sword Sect to break through to the Emperor Realm, not to accept anyone’s test! If you think you can assert the Great Elder’s authority by using this method, casually arranging someone’s fate, then forgive me for being very hard to comply!"

Other disciples couldn’t tell, but Liu Zixuan understood.

The Great Elder’s two conditions were to test Liu Zixuan’s character, to see if he had the bravery and dignity a man should have.

If this were a test from an ordinary mother, Liu Zixuan would accept it candidly, but she wasn’t an ordinary mother, she was an elder of the Profound Sword Sect.

If Liu Zixuan wants Xiaoxiao to be his girlfriend, he will fight for it himself.

But having the Great Elder arrange it, that’s absolutely not allowed by Liu Zixuan.

Fate arranged by others is not one Liu Zixuan desires!

After leaving those words, Liu Zixuan walked briskly towards the outside, leaving behind a bunch of bewildered disciples and Xiaoxiao lost in the wind.

The Great Elder looked at Liu Zixuan’s departing figure, not angry at all, but showing a faint smile, "He does have a bit of pride, doesn’t he?"

"Mom, what’s gotten into you today, why would you say those things for no reason!" Xiaoxiao asked angrily.

The Great Elder turned and gently stroked her hair, "Daughter, Mom’s doing this for your own good. You’ll understand my intentions in the future."

"But... but, he rejected!" Xiaoxiao muttered like a mosquito.

"His rejection is his business!" The Great Elder’s expression changed, proudly saying, "My daughter is so beautiful and excellent, I refuse to believe she can’t win him over!"

"Me, chase him?" Xiaoxiao widened her eyes!

The Great Elder nodded seriously, "Previously, Mom stopped you from getting close to any man, but this time I won’t stop you and will even help you. Xiaoxiao, bravely pursue him, you must win Liu Zixuan over!"

"Crazy, I think you’re crazy!" Xiaoxiao couldn’t believe that these words would come out of her always cold mother.

Not only couldn’t she believe it, even the two Yangming elders and the disciples beside them couldn’t believe it.
