Wow, this system is incredible—simple and direct!

With my invincible cultivation, marrying and having descendants is hardly a challenge, right?

However, the system has strict standards for marriage: only women with a score of 90 or above are eligible to become "family."

Chen Lie was momentarily unsure how to determine this score of 90, but the next second, he figured out a method. Whatever he thought of, his gaze swept over the injured and unconscious Chen Xuan before focusing on an elder present:

"Third Elder, who brought Xuan'er and the others back after they were injured?"

"Reporting to the Ancestor, it was the young lady from the Su Clan in Lieyang City who brought the Young Sect Master back."

This detail matched the original story. Chen Xuan and the Thirteenth Elder had just visited the Su Clan when they were attacked and left unconscious. The Su Clan, fearing the Wuji Sect's wrath, hurriedly sent them back, with Su Qingyan herself bringing them, hoping she could help explain to the Supreme Ancestor of the Wuji Sect that the Su Clan had nothing to do with Chen Xuan's injuries.

Upon hearing the Third Elder's response, Chen Lie didn't say anything special: "Xuan'er and the Thirteenth Elder are seriously injured; take them away for treatment first. As for who harmed them, you don't need to concern yourselves with that. I will investigate this matter myself."

Seeing the Ancestor's determination to investigate personally, the elders dared not ask further questions. If the Ancestor was stepping in, he must be truly angry. However, what they didn't know was that Chen Lie had no intention of uncovering the "truth" or even saving "Chen Xuan." The trouble was caused by this predecessor's troublesome son, and since he wasn't his real father, why bother saving him?

In the original story, Chen Xuan was severely injured, and the predecessor spent a great deal to heal him. Now, without deliberate intervention, Chen Xuan would likely remain comatose for a long time. Before Chen Lie decided how to "deal with" Chen Xuan, he would just let him lie there. Chen Xuan's situation was insignificant; what Chen Lie needed to focus on was what came next.

The next moment, Chen Lie instructed: "Regarding who harmed the Thirteenth Elder and the others, I will handle it myself. You may all leave now. I will return to my chambers, and as you leave, inform the young lady of the Su Clan to come to my chambers. I have some questions for her."

***

Upon receiving Chen Lie's instructions, the elders quickly withdrew. Back in his chambers, Chen Lie didn't have to wait long before the renowned eldest daughter of the Su Clan, Su Qingyan, arrived.

"Junior Su Qingyan greets the Ancestor!"

The moment she entered Chen Lie's chambers, the pale-faced Su Qingyan hurriedly knelt and respectfully bowed to Chen Lie. As she raised her head, Chen Lie finally saw her face clearly!

No wonder she could become one of the destined female leads in the original story. No wonder she could be the catalyst for all the events. Ye Tian's marriage contract partner truly lived up to her reputation. At that moment, Chen Lie couldn't help but be amazed by her beauty!
