Chapter 21 - Benefits on top of Benefits

"Let's start off on the basics, do you know what a cultivator clan is?" "It's a family of cultivators, that usually come together for benefits". "good do you know what the Gu clan is?" "No I don't". "The Gu clan is a cultivator clan that specializes mostly in divination. This is an old established clan that has risen into power by using their divination to make wise business choices and to recruit talents into their fold. They recruit talents into their fold by offering political marriages and expensive dowry's that go with it. You are one such talent, not only will you get an incredible dowry for marrying my daughter you will also become apart of the Gu clan. Once you are apart of the Gu clan, the Gu clan will continue to provide you with cultivation resources and protection. But that's only the start, you will also have access to cultivation technique's that are exclusive to the Gu clan and you will also have a dual cultivation partner. You are too young to know this, but finding a dual cultivation partner is not easy, not only is it hard, the partner you may end up with might not be what you're looking for. Not to mention that the person you will be marrying if you decide to marry, will be my daughter. Meaning, if I have to spell it out for you, you will have the dean of the flying wind sect as your father-in law. Not only that, you will also have most of the Gu clan backing you. If by some miracle you are able to contend for the young heir position and claim it, you would have the entire Gu clan backing you. Which is the accumulation of thousands of years of wealth at your disposal. In short, you could only gain to benefit by marrying into the clan and the only reason others are not chosen instead is because of the divination the Gu clan is so well known for. You had the best results given to us by the divination we preformed for recruiting "new blood" so to speak. Although you probably no nothing about the Gu clan. Do know that the Gu clan didn't survive thousands of years for no reason. Divination was the key to the Gu clan's success since we have on good credibility that you are a rising talent we wish to recruit you into our fold. The deal we made previously was a softer approach to not try and raise to many eyebrows but it looks like you have no knowledge about these things so it can't be helped. In a rather blunt manner, I can say that you will receive lots of gifts if you marry into the Gu clan. So now that you know all about the Gu clan I have to talk to you about a rather sensitive matter. Please keep this last part to yourself and don't talk about it to others. The Gu clan has some rather "recent" information that the palace of eternal love will be opening up soon. Should you marry into the clan we will naturally extend an invitation for you two to be able to participate in the event. I can't share to much about the topic but know that it is a once in a lifetime opportunity that many would kill for. I can give you more information if you chose to marry my daughter. Other than that, I don't know what more to say". Wu Zhi was silent for a moment as a bomb shell of information was given to him. "Can I meet your daughter" he eventually said. Elder Ming suddenly had a smile on his face, "well of course you can. Come with me we will meet her now, since you seem to have trouble with these things".

After that he got up from his desk and calmly walked through the sect. Wu Zhi followed him silent as a mouse wondering what this daughter of his looked like. In truth he had pretty much decided he would marry the daughter of elder Ming. There was only a problem if she was hideously ugly, morbidly obese, or way to young or old. Eventually they walked up to a very nice estate. With walls surrounding the place mountains covering either side, a plaque saying "flower garden estate" it lived up to its name. Plastered around were flowers everywhere, carefully picked and arranged in a pristine and beautiful way. They made there way to the main building as elder Ming knocked on the door. *Knock* *Knock* a servant answered the door and as soon as she saw elder Ming she politely bowed and opened the door for him. "Please let my daughter know that I have come to see her. Tell her I brought a guest I want her to meet." "Of course, please wait in the guest room well I bring over the young miss" the servant responded. She brought over another servant which led them to a scenic tea room with a beautiful view of the flowers and an astonishing sunset to accompany it. The servant that led them here carefully presented them some tea with some rich aroma to it. "This place is very nice" Wu Zhi responded. "I hope you like it, if this goes well I imagine you might start living here today". Wu Zhi wasn't fazed by the comment, he was pretty hard to irk person. Just as they were about to start talking some more a absolutely gorgeous young lady entered the room.

She had shoulder length brown hair and green eyes. She had a lively and gentle aura to her that gave her a unique charm. She was dressed in extravagant robes with pretty ear rings that shined with jewels to accompany it. He couldn't even tell if she was wearing any make up or not. "Who did you want me to meet father" she said with a gentle and eager voice.
