Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Inside the hall, there were only Yu Qingyi, Yang Zhenshan, and the four elders. The other disciples stood outside the door, not entering.

Su Kun looked at Yu Qingyi, who had taken the higher position, and couldn’t help feeling gloomier when he saw she kept her gaze fixed on Yang Zhenshan.

Ah, it is hard to keep grown daughters by your side.

It’s not that they didn’t want to keep her, but rather they truly couldn’t.

”Master Yang, we understand your purpose here. Since Qingyi is willing, we have no reason to object. However, I have a blunt statement to make upfront,” Su Kun said with a solemn expression.

Yang Zhenshan responded, ”Master Su can just call me Zhengshan, and you can speak frankly with me!”

”Alright!” Su Kun, stroking his sparse beard, fixated his cloudy gaze on Yang Zhenshan, ”Qingyi is the Sect Leader of our Sky Blue Sword Sect. Even though she is getting married, she is still a disciple of our sect!”

”The Sky Blue Sword Sect is Qingyi’s maternal family. If Qingyi suffers grievances in the future, we in the Sky Blue Sword Sect will seek justice for her!”

”Master Su, please be assured!”

Yang Zhenshan was just about to express his stance when Su Kun waved his hand to interrupt, continuing, ”Empty promises are unnecessary. No matter what you say now, it’s your future actions that will count.”

”I only want to tell you that we, people of the worldly society, act rashly; when faced with injustice, more often than not, we choose to resolve it by force.”

Yang Zhenshan nodded lightly, Su Kun’s words were not unfounded.

Heroes use martial power to defy the law.

With a weapon at hand, the desire to kill arises naturally.

When a common man rages, blood will be splattered three feet around.

Martial Artists, with their formidable martial power, prefer to resolve issues through force.

Incidents of Martial Artists killing officials were not unheard of in Da Rong.

Of course, Su Kun’s words carried more of a warning, what he really hoped for was that Yang Zhenshan would treat Yu Qingyi well in the future.

”Master Su is right, what I say now is meaningless.”

”But I will say this, Master Su, please rest assured, I, Yang Zhenshan, am a man who stands tall under heaven. I cannot bring myself to bully a woman.”

”The future cannot be determined, but the past can prove that I am neither fickle-hearted nor unfaithful.”

”The Yang family has a rule: one may not take a concubine until the age of thirty without an heir.”

”Now that I am beyond the doubtful years and blessed with a family full of children and grandchildren, I will definitely not take another concubine!”

”Qingyi is my lawfully wedded first wife and will be registered in the Yang family’s genealogy as the rightful wife. My Yang family will naturally not mistreat her.”

Yang Zhenshan said earnestly.

It was also what he truly thought in his heart.

To hold hands with his partner and grow old together is what everyone desires, and Yang Zhenshan was no exception.

Previous society was simply too restless, making it extremely difficult to maintain a long-term relationship.

But this world is different; as long as one can keep a true heart and earnestly tend to the relationship, sustaining long-term affection is quite easy.

The most important concerns for a woman getting married are, first, her status, on which Yang Zhenshan entirely fits the bill, as Yu Qingyi is his first wife through a proper wedding, despite being a second union.

Second, they worry about their future husbands having multiple wives and concubines, favoring the concubine over the wife, which is not uncommon in wealthy households.

Yang Zhenshan mentioned the Yang family’s rules and his age to prove that he will not take concubines in the future. He wanted to reassure Master Su and the others so that they would be confident in marrying Yu Qingyi to him.
