I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2615 2614: The Choices Given by the Old Lady, Trial at the Birthday Banquet

"Mrs. Qiu, these two are the younger generation from our two clans, considered the finest among our descendants."

"I wonder if the Old Lady would be interested in witnessing these two becoming Dao partners, completing a marriage alliance."

"With Mrs. Qiu's witness, it would be the greatest blessing for the two of them."

The tone of Jiang Zhuoshi and the others was very polite when speaking.

Even carried a touch of pleading.

The Xuntian Clan and Zhou Di Clan have expended a lot of effort, finances, and resources this time.

To help the Old Lady host this birthday banquet.

Their greatest wish is for the two clans to return to the Heaven and Earth Clan.

They know how much influence the Old Lady has within the Heaven and Earth Clan.

But they also understand that such a significant matter, even if the Old Lady desires it, she wouldn't agree on the spot.

Therefore, they hope to take a more indirect approach.

First, send Xu Zimei and Shen Baizhi into the Heaven and Earth Clan.

Then, once they have established themselves there, plan the return of the entire clan.

In doing so, they intend not to put the Old Lady in a difficult position.

Logically, the Old Lady should accept this matter.

After all, their two clans have given so much this time, and their wish is just this.

If the Old Lady wants to benefit without giving anything in return, that would be disagreeable.

After all, in this world, everything revolves around mutual profit, bustling with opportunism.

Otherwise, no matter how high-ranking you are or how deep your capital is.

If you can't bring me benefits, see how many would pay you heed.

At this moment, upon hearing their words, the Old Lady fell silent for a moment.

Just then, someone suddenly stood up nearby.

And laughed, "Since you say these two are the best of your descendants."

"I would like to see for myself."

"How about letting them team up and duel with me?"

"If they win, having Mrs. Qiu witness wouldn't be a problem; if they lose, it would mean they aren't qualified."

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of everyone present varied.

Shen Heilong and Jiang Zhuoshi looked uncomfortable.

Everyone turned to look at the one who spoke.

The person was a descendant of Mrs. Qiu.

He wore a long sapphire robe, black boots with green threaded patterns, and beneath the robe was a white cotton garment.

He had long hair tied up with a hair bun, a square face, exuding a rugged charm.

Seeing this young man step forward, Jiang Zhuoshi squinted slightly.

And asked, "May I know how to address this talented young man?"

Mrs. Qiu's descendants were not known to everyone.

After all, they arrived late and had been seated together since, with no interaction with others.

Initially, Jiang Zhuoshi considered whether to win over some of them.

But now he was slightly displeased.

These young ones aren't adhering to principles!

Do they understand the exchange of benefits?

Even before Mrs. Qiu spoke, this young man seized the opportunity, making the situation difficult.

......

Upon hearing Jiang Zhuoshi's question, the young man stood proudly.

He puffed his chest and laughed, "I am He Lingfeng, personally appointed as a Marquis by the Heaven and Earth Clan."

"Why, is there an issue with me having a duel with them?"

"Oh, not at all. Marquis He possesses outstanding talent, incomparable to the ordinary folks of our clan."

Jiang Zhuoshi said with a smile.

"I think there's no need for a duel; we simply wish to request a favor from the Old Lady."

"Besides, it's the Old Lady's birthday feast today, creating a disturbance wouldn't be auspicious."

What Jiang Zhuoshi said was an attempt to provide a graceful exit for everyone.

He Lingfeng slightly frowned.

But then, Mrs. Qiu spoke up.

"There's nothing inauspicious about it."

"The birthday feast is somewhat dull; a contest would liven things up, don't you think!"

As soon as the Old Lady finished speaking, it was akin to making a decision on the matter.

Indeed, Jiang Zhuoshi and the others could argue with He Lingfeng and his group.

But they certainly wouldn't dare rebut the Old Lady.

Her words were as good as decrees.

Jiang Zhuoshi took a deep breath and exchanged glances with Shen Heilong.

At this moment, the Old Lady spoke again.

"A straightforward contest is meaningless; how about we add some stakes?"

She pondered briefly and then extended her slender fingers, brushing over Xu Zimei and Shen Baizhi.

And said, "If they win, I will permit them to enter the Heaven and Earth Clan and allow a bloodline cleansing."

"If they lose, then pretend this whole affair never happened, how does that sound?"

Others couldn't grasp the Old Lady's implications, thinking that losing would result in no real consequences.

But Jiang Zhuoshi and Shen Heilong, being wise foxes, quickly understood.

The Old Lady implied that she wasn't disregarding their efforts.

If they won, I wouldn't just allow them to enter the Heaven and Earth Clan; I'd even permit a bloodline cleansing.

It's known that the Heaven and Earth Clan's bloodline is esteemed because they can connect with the heavens and earth.

Harnessing the immense power of the heavens, sweeping through everything.

However, for branch clans like Xuntian and Zhou Di, their bloodline is actually quite diluted.

Unable to truly manifest the potential of their bloodline.

Only through bloodline cleansing, reverting to their ancestors, could they transform.

This opportunity is fiercely contested within the Heaven and Earth Clan itself, leading to intense competition.

Let alone granting it to outsiders.

Therefore, the Old Lady's reward is indeed substantial.

Correspondingly, if they lose, the Old Lady also stated.

The matter would be treated as if it never happened.

This "never happened" means your clans' extensive efforts for my birthday banquet.

All of it erased.

I owe you nothing.

If the competition is lost, I won't offer anything.

It's akin to the two clans working tirelessly, preparing so much, only to end up with nothing.

Thus, the Old Lady seemed to offer a tempting bait.

If you fail to seize it, you can't blame her.

In truth, Jiang Zhuoshi and the others wished to decline.

They hoped for Xu Zimei and Shen Baizhi to smoothly enter the Heaven and Earth Clan, avoiding any elaborate schemes.

But now that the Old Lady had spoken.

At first glance, it appeared to be an inquiry.

Yet, in reality, they lacked the option and qualification to decide.

So at this moment, the two could only brace themselves and say together, "Thank you, Old Lady, for your graciousness; we are willing, let them have a match then."

This time, the young man named He Lingfeng slowly stepped out.

Behind He Lingfeng, the young men and women of Mrs. Qiu's lineage, similar to him, were all discussing.

"What's up with He Lingfeng? Why is he so high-profile this time?"

"This guy surely wants to show off in front of Mrs. Qiu; how did I not think of that, I'm truly regretting it now."
