Chapter 804: Come and Greet the Holy Son-in-law



Chapter 804: Come and Greet the Holy Son-in-law

Xiang Shaoyun had most certainly considered the possibility of passing all three trials, but that was mainly for his self-preservation. His ultimate aim remained smoothly leaving the Holy Earth Hall. He had never considered staying here long term, and he had certainly not considered actually taking Tuoba Wan\'er as his wife.

Naturally, it wasn\'t that he thought lowly of her. Rather, he personally believed that he was still not worthy of her. In any case, he wasn\'t the type of man who would lose his mind at the sight of any beautiful woman. He cared more about the feelings, and if he was going to take a wife, his first choice would naturally be Yu Caidie, not a woman he just met. Although the woman had saved his life, he wouldn\'t offer his body to thank her.

If any other man knew what he was thinking, he would probably spit at him. A woman so beautiful and talented with a great background to boot was the dream girl of many. And here was Xiang Shaoyun, unwilling to take her as his wife. Anyone would think that he must have been hit on the head.

Xiang Shaoyun followed the first elder outside. The people there saw his dazed expression.

Sha Hanbiao couldn\'t help but laugh, "I knew it. The third trial is not something one can get through easily. Only a genius without equal can get through it."

"Since that is the case, I propose to pick the best from what we have. Xiang Zixuan\'s strength is closer to the young lady, and he has a matching background. We should just make him the holy son-in-law," suggested Hu Yanbo.

Some of them nodded in agreement, while some remained silent, still focused on the first elder. They were evidently waiting for the first elder\'s decision.

As for Old Urchin, he objected, "What benefits have you two accepted from them? You\'re actually working so hard to match the young lady with that kid?"

"What nonsense are you saying? We are doing this for the young lady\'s sake, for the good of the Holy Hall!" Sha Hanbiao retorted emotionally.

"That\'s right! The young lady is reaching 40 years old! The hall master had commanded that a son-in-law needs to be selected before then. We can\'t drag this on anymore!" Hu Yanbo said. He looked at Old Urchin and questioned, "Or perhaps you have always disregarded the hall master\'s command?"

He was obviously using the hall master’s name to suppress Old Urchin.

Just as Old Urchin was about to offer a retort, Tuoba Wan\'er said, "Grandpas, stop arguing. Let\'s hear what first grandpa has to say."

The first elder glanced at Hu Yanbo and Sha Hanbiao before saying, "Come, greet the holy son-in-law."

Everyone’s mouth fell wide agape, disbelief in their eyes. As for Tuoba Wan\'er, she shivered, not expecting this to be the result.

Impossible, how could he solve the stone tower\'s secret? Xiang Zixuan glared at Xiang Shaoyun, indignantly roaring inwardly.

Even Old Urchin blanked out momentarily. He then waved his arms and cheered, "Haha, I knew it. This kid is greatly talented. Future son-in-law? Splendid!"

The first elder looked at the silent elders and snorted, "Are you all deaf? Did you not hear what I said?"

The first elder had always been someone who stood aloof from worldly affairs. Apart from the Hall\'s internal affairs, he had ignored everything else. As for Old Urchin, he had always been acting unconventionally with his odd temper.

Thus, the external affairs of the Hall had always been managed by the third elder, Hu Yanbo. Many elders had been subjecting themselves under his command. Despite that, the first elder still held the highest prestige in the Hall after the hall master. When he started raging, the others immediately felt fearful.

"Greetings, holy son-in-law," the elders saluted unwillingly.

These were all people of status and power, but they were all forced to show Xiang Shaoyun respect.

Xiang Shaoyun was aware that he couldn\'t do anything now, so he helplessly said, "Rise, seniors."

"Good kid. Good kid. Not bad at all. Hahaha," Old Urchin approached Xiang Shaoyun, circled him, and praised.

In truth, he didn\'t have much hope for Xiang Shaoyun either, but Xiang Shaoyun had actually brought him a big surprise. He felt incredibly smug, and he now found Xiang Shaoyun much more pleasing to his eyes.

"First elder, although the holy son-in-law has successfully passed the hall master\'s trial, with his strength, he does not seem to be a good match for the young lady? I\'m afraid the hall master will be unhappy when he learns of this after he comes out from seclusion," said Hu Yanbo, still unwilling to accept this result.

"You don\'t have to be concerned about this. This is a decision personally made by the hall master. We only need to obey it," said the first elder. "Ok, let\'s return to the main hall. We can continue our discussion there."

After hearing that, Hu Yanbo had no choice but to swallow his dissatisfaction.

Everyone once again gathered in the main hall. As for Xiang Zixuan, due to his failure in the trials, he was no longer qualified to enter the main hall. He was sent to a guest room to rest.

At the hall, the first elder started solemnly announcing Xiang Shaoyun\'s identity as the future son-in-law. After the marriage ceremony, his position would be formalized.

However, the ceremony would only be held after the hall master left seclusion. Even so, this matter would be publicly announced in advance, allowing everyone in the Holy Earth Hall to know the joyous news.

While listening to the commands the first elder was giving out, Xiang Shaoyun smiled bitterly and thought, Looks like I need to escape as soon as possible, or things will get even more complicated.

Finally, the meeting ended and everyone left. As for Xiang Shaoyun, a place of residence within the palace was arranged for him, and he did not even get the chance to speak with Old Urchin. He was given a lavish and massive residence with gorgeous decorations that were comparable to the palace of any royalty.

"Holy son-in-law, please allow us to attend to you as you shower and get changed," said two women with excellent looks.

They were dressed in revealing outfits. They had plump chests, slim waists, and perky rears. They were practically brimming with allure.

Xiang Shaoyun was used to beauties, but the sight of these beauties of unique flavors still caused his blood to boil. After all, he was still a perfectly healthy virgin filled with vigor.

The two women laid down the bathtub, poured water inside, and added some petals and herbs into the water. Instantly, the room was filled with a certain fragrance that caused one\'s imagination to wander.

"Holy son-in-law, the bathwater is ready. Let us help you undress," said the two as they stepped over, about to help Xiang Shaoyun undress.

By instinct, Xiang Shaoyun stepped back and covered his body with both arms. Bashfully, he said, "This...I can do this myself."

The two giggled at his reaction. One of them stepped forth and said, "Holy son-in-law, please don\'t make things difficult for us, or we will get punished for failing to carry out our duties."
