What was flesh and blood in comparison?

"If I remember correctly, there is gossip that three other young masters are looking at the second young miss from the Jah family. She is not bad but it is true she does not possess any innate powers. Because of this many males will seek to marry her and bond to extend her life. The Jah family will most likely do it like so: this daughter will live at most, to one hundred and forty years, depending on her body constitution. She is unique in looks which give those who are seeking new blood the initiative to accept her as a daughter in law, she is smart scoring top in every subject except for the innate talent. Her siblings are powerful figures with her brother already making a name for himself in the fourth kingdom followed by the second and third brothers. Her sister is married to a powerful male with a family rich in history and ties to the third-ranked kingdom. Oh, there was also an accident that occurred a few years prior where two young masters from a ranked family were murdered, a young mistress, and four minor masters and their servants. From what I have found out it has something to do with her, though she may not possess innate power this young miss Jah is quite powerful in her own right. I am saying that if I can find this out then a few top families will too, and can conclude that this second daughter has a dormant gene."

The madam spoke slowly, her gaze on her son. 

Her son took all the best features from both herself as a beauty and his father as one of the most strappingly handsome males.

This made her son perfect.

So perfect that many prestigious families had sought him as a husband for their daughter.

Yet he wanted to be with the second daughter from the Jah clan.

She knew a long time ago that her son liked this girl and had taken the initiative to keep an eye on her activities. 

She trembled, concluding that the girl...

The girl is simply a sleeping beast. 

Madam Leng did not mind this in the slightest, because the ripples of War have already begun and if her son can have a powerful wife who can have his back and protect herself she can be at ease without worries about him being dragged down. 

Li himself felt that this day seemed to be filled with shocks after another. 

Dormant gene? 

How could he not think of such a thing? 

It is true that his Blu was powerful, he had seen her in a raging moment before her siblings appeared and calmed her. 

He himself had offered a few snacks to her siblings which in turn helped her.

Of course, he had felt surprised by this but did it make him love her less?

Li only loved her more, he love her to the point that he would willingly share her.

Still, if his parents disagree, what can he do?

He pondered a moment or tried to but his mother continued once again. 

"This should be a fact, then you may have to share your wife, a dormant gene can also be unstable but extremely powerful. From history, dormant gene possessors are paired with a prince or the emperor himself. The empress from the first and second-ranked kingdoms are dormant gene posessors, they are somewhat powerful, they also have a few weaker dormant gene concubines as well. The first emperor is also known as a dormant gene possessor and the most powerful in the last five hundred years. It is just... Let us hope that the second young miss Jah is just short lived. If not, her life will be quite turbulent."Madam Leng released a sigh, well it is just that her son must work harder to become stronger, it is up to fate if he lives or dies. 

He is her son but the one she values more is her true mate; the patriarch Leng Lu Geng, when compared to the one bonded to a soul level, what was flesh and blood in comparison?

"Father, mother; I will become a husband and later a bonded male to the second young miss Jah Di'ordi. I only wish that you help me convince her parents to the best of your ability." 

Li did a half bow to his parents, stood, wished them well and left. 

It is said that on the fifteenth birthday of the second young miss Jah, many interesting things occurred. 

A young girl who had been in love with a young man from her tenth year after seeing him, was to meet him and officially become engaged, but he had left, leaving her with her parents feeling humiliated. 

She had also sought to curry favour with the second-born daughter miss Jah Di'ordi but had failed, the daughter was not social. 

Her siblings are protective and an issue came up, ruining everything in one fell swoop.

Another girl had tried to tie down a young man and failed in her scheme becoming a laughing stock.

"No culture,"

"The girl with should be sent away,"

"I need to tell my daughters to stay away from her and ask my husband to avoid her,"

"Shameless!"

Many whispered loudly.

The girl felt so embarrassed she wanted to crawl in a hole and hide.

Those who were her accomplices--one who had been selected as a servant pet for the second young miss Jah, had been immediately rejected and blacklisted. Such a vicious girl should be avoided. 

The elder Jah masters wanted to kill off their entire family but had been stopped by their mate who had showed them reason. 

"The girls should be used later, let us leave them for now. Being reckless and killing them off just so, would cause unrest and drawn unwanted attention."

Both believed that their mate is always right, she is also wise and therefore both obeyed and indulged her.
