Bexia had no idea how it ended later. He was taken away by the old steward after the fight, so he didn't know the result. But from the old steward's words, he learned that he had indeed gained an "unmarried wife"!
"Master, you'll get used to it later. The master and young miss often act like this, but their relationship is actually very good!" The old steward's words left Bexia speechless. He had thought the steward was reliable, but it turned out he was just like Lian, selling off their own young miss!
"In fact, the master was also doing it for the young miss's own good...!" The old steward started speaking, and from the beginning, it was evident that he was a person with many stories to tell.
"Why are you saying this?" Bexia asked curiously.
"Well...since it's the young master who asked, this old servant is just being talkative!" The old steward clearly wanted to say it, but pretended he was only saying it because he was asked to.
It felt like this whole family was not normal at all!
"In order to break through immortality and reach the eternal realm, the master took a risk and consumed a mysterious elixir with unknown effects. However, during the tribulation, he was ambushed by enemies. Not only did he fail to cross the tribulation successfully, but he also suffered fatal injuries under the calamity."
"And it was precisely because of this severe injury that the already scarce Andrews family suffered a fatal blow. While the master sought medical help everywhere, the enemies directly destroyed everything related to the Andrews family, leaving only the master behind..."
"But what does this have to do with what you said before?" Bexia had a puzzled expression, thinking, are you trying to evoke sympathy?
"Afterwards, the master fell into a deep depression and even contemplated ending his life. But unexpectedly, during this time, the master actually impregnated the young miss. This made the master abandon the idea of death and eventually gave birth to the young miss, whom he regarded as the last heir of the Andrews family!"
"Then he shouldn't have handed Yue over to me. Could it be that Lian's injuries haven't healed? Is she not going to live much longer?" Bexia speculated.
"That's right! The master doesn't have much time left," the old steward replied with a sad face.
"What?!" Bexia really hadn't expected to be right.
"The master's injuries are too severe. Especially the injuries from the tribulation have undermined the very foundation. Even half of his bloodline has been destroyed, and his cultivation has plummeted. The remnants of the tribulation are constantly eroding his bloodline power. If he hadn't seen hope for continuation in the young miss..."
"..." Bexia fell silent after listening. If the bloodline power was destroyed, would they still be the Blood Wolf Clan?
No wonder Lian wanted to die. After all, the family was exterminated, the bloodline was destroyed, and there were unhealable injuries. What was the point of living?
"Wait a minute! Is Lian dying soon? Is that why she hastily married Yue off?" Bexia felt like he had grasped onto something.
"Not exactly. Although the master is severely injured, as long as he doesn't recklessly use his strength, he still has several tens of thousands of years left to live without any problems."
"Then why was he in such a hurry to marry off Yue?"
"Mainly because the master wanted to ensure the continuation of the Andrews family as soon as possible. In fact, what he said earlier was not a lie. The master had long wanted to pass on the remaining bloodline power in his body."
"In the master's own words, 'Since it will be slowly eroded anyway, why not nurture a few offspring in the process?'"
"⊙▽⊙!"
This is really amazing!
"So if I really give her five hundred thousand, she won't really pack herself with the moon, right?"
"From what I know about the old master, the probability of this happening is quite high. For some special reason, the old master's source blood is actually the same as the young lady's source blood. In a way, they are one and the same. The old master already has a natural fondness for you. Maybe if you try a little harder, this could really happen!" the old butler said calmly.
Holy cow!
(ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻!
So this is the kind of old butler you are!
I actually misjudged you!
What kind of family is this?
The mother is in a rush to sell her daughter, even willing to include herself in the deal, and even the butler is encouraging him to take down the old master and the young lady together!
The world is so crazy!
Could it be that I'm not approaching this the right way?
"The old master has had a tough life. His parents passed away when he was young. I watched him grow up. Although he appears strong on the outside, in reality, he is like a child who has never grown up. Sometimes he even cries secretly under the covers..." the old butler said sorrowfully, tilting his head at a thirty-degree angle.
"So if you really want to do something for the old master, then marry her along with him!"
My goodness! Old butler, what kind of logic is this? Marry her for her own good? We only just met, okay? Is that how you talk?
"How about it? Buying one and getting one free is a sure win deal. Remember, these are top-quality mother-daughter pair! Are you tempted?" The old butler's character instantly collapsed, and he looked so sleazy, no longer the stern old butler, but a street racing god!
"..." Bexia was completely speechless, covering his eyes and refusing to look at the old butler's "sleazy" expression. This butler really has no shame!
"Yue and I are just ordinary friends, really not what you think. At most, I treat her like a little sister!" Bexia said.
"Oh! So you're the kind of person who likes playing these games, huh, little sister... little sister... little sister!"
Listening to the old butler's words, Bexia was even more shocked. This is outrageous...
Is he really saying this! And with such undeniable evidence!
"Can we not talk about this topic, please?" Bexia felt that if they continued, who knew what kind of nonsense the old butler might say?
"Oh! Then I won't say anymore. But the young master should think it over carefully. After all, it's like a free lunch right in front of you, why not take it!"
"…-_-||"
"Is there really no way to return the source blood to Yue?"
"No way, unless the Creator intervenes, but then you would be risking your life, and I'm sure your family wouldn't want that, right?" The old butler looked at him meaningfully and added, "It would definitely cause trouble for the old master, and the people behind the young master wouldn't approve either."
"Hmm..." Bexia pondered over his words.
"The old master only asked for the betrothal gifts to probe into your identity. Never did he expect you to be so wealthy that you could present so many gifts in one go. Even I, as an old man, am amazed!" The old butler's tone changed.
"You must also have a considerable force behind you. Miss, you won't suffer after marrying into it!" The old housekeeper appeared relieved, even pleased for him, judging by his expression.
"Ehhh……"
Why does Bexia feel like Lian is only interested in his betrothal gifts? What does it mean to scrutinize identity? Why did he handle the items so skillfully when receiving them? If one didn't know better, they'd think he was a seasoned criminal."
