Stealing Brides

Chujiu brought her eldest Aunt to sit on a rock bench in the garden, her eyes are curiously blinking.

"Pretty Aunt, what is the story between you and that emperor? Tell me all the drama."

Amused by the 11 year old Jiu, eldest aunt pinched her cheek and said, "Aren't we discussing a serious matter. How can you jump around like this."

Chujiu is annoyed with the diversion, curiosity is killing her.

"I don't take him to heart. I can protect myself, don't forget about my cultivation level. I will beat up those who are looking for it. Only younger generation are allowed to enter the hunting grounds. There won't be any experts anyway."

Hunting ground has a special array, when activated only cultivators below Spirit Realm 5 can enter. So, Chujiu is not worried.

Madam Lin is still worried, "Little jiu, you are still young and had not experienced the world. Royal family clan is not easy to deal with unless we can go head on. They will have so many tricks under their sleeves. How can you protect yourself from deception and underhanded methods."

Chujiu asked, "Can't we just reject saying that I have not recovered from the fall last time?"

Madam Lin patted Chujiu slowly and said, "People outside know that you have already recovered. He can use this to his advantage in the court and make things difficult for us. Don't you know there are spies in our manor. We have to deal with this carefully."

"The thing that I don't understand is, why is he involving you and what does he want to achieve?"

If its about Lin army, he has announced engagement between Little Jiu and third prince. Now, why would he target her again.

Chujiu thought for a while and said, "Let us leave this matter to uncle, he will find out about it. The most important thing for us now is to extract dark elemental energies from all of you without alerting the enemy. We need to put on a good show and catch the perpetrator off guard."

Aunt signed and said, "There are still 3 days to go, you go and cultivate these days. Your uncle and grandfather will handle all these things. You are still a child, leave the mess to us elders."

Chujiu still did not forget the gossip and asked curiously, "Aunt now tell the story, I can't wait."

Madam Lin laughed and explained the story in detail to satisfy Little Jiu's curiosity.

General Su is a retired general and Su family held some military power. They may not be as big as Lins, but they are considerably large. Aunt Su, Su Yingxue is the eldest daughter of the Old General Su and is a beauty in her generation. She is elegant and poise. She is also one of the top female cultivators in her generation. So there were many suitors.

The current emperor was a prince at that time, he was not even conferred crown prince title yet.

He fell in love with Su Yingxue and made some desperate efforts to pursue her.

But Su Yingxue fell in love with Lin Shihong when she went to a mission. Both of them were inner disciples of Sword Extinction Sect. While the current emperor could not get in to the sect through tests conducted and there is no backdoor, he joined another sect called Mount Hua Sect which is also one of the top sects in the Divine Pheonix Contionent.

Mount Hua Sect have ample resources as they have special quota for royal and aristocrat families in exchange for treasures and millions of high grade spirit stones.

Though Ji Bingyun, the current emperor had several resources he could not surpass Lin Shihong in terms of cultivation. He played several tricks, but he could not win against Lin Shihong and finally gave up on marrying his dream girl.

He wanted to force the former emperor to pass on an imperial decree, but former emperor rejected the idea. He did not want to provoke 3 major powerhouses in the continent - Lin family, Su family and Sword Hua Sect.

At that time Lin Shihong was so annoyed with Ji Bingyun and other pursuers of Su Yingxue. One day, he barged in to Su family and declared his wedding proposal. Brothers of Su Yingxue wanted to beat up the shameless person but given his cultivation level, they did not dare so.

General Su was entangled by the Grandfather Lin and could not beat up Lin Shihong and Lin Kai.

Why Lin Kai, because Lin Kai went along with his eldest brother to help him bring his wife home. But when he saw Su Daya, younger sister of Su Yingxue, he fell in love with her and directly asked her to marry him.

Su Daya who is always protected by the Su family, hardly interacted with outsiders. She has an innocent personality, Lin Kai is tall, has wheat coloured skin tone and looked absolutely manly. He had fierce personality and a great body build. He spent most of his time in Lin army campus and likes to talk no nonsense.

Su Daya was instantly charmed by his manly looks, she has never seen anyone who is so tall, sturdy and have fine features. When Lin Kai asked whether she wants to marry him, she felt it is so novel. No one has ever said such words and she even forgot to ask her parents and brothers. She nodded in a daze and could not leave her eyes off him.

General Su and Su brothers are so enraged and wanted to beat up Lin Kai who is corrupting their innocent little girl. Though she is not short, she looked so petite next to a mountain like figure.

Though grandfather Lin looked helpless at his sons, he can only support them to bring their wives back to their house. So he convinced General Su and engaged his two sons to the two sisters of Su family.
