Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

```

By the time Su Renmei had finished explaining, Zhou Daoyi couldn’t help but show a contemplative expression.

He did not doubt the truthfulness of Su Renmei’s words.

Because if Su Renmei dared to lie, then Su Yuzhen would definitely not gain any favor from the Zhou Family.

However, he had to consider Zhou Chun’s opinion.

Based on his understanding of Zhou Chun, Zhou Chun might not agree to what most cultivators would see as a stroke of good fortune.

Given Zhou Chun’s current status and position within the Zhou Family, if he truly disagreed, no one could force him to agree to this matter.

After contemplating for a while, Zhou Daoyi looked up at Su Renmei and said, "Frankly speaking, if I could form a marriage alliance with the Su Family, I would also be very willing and supportive."

After saying this, he shook his head slightly and added, "But Zhengchun, as the Clan Leader of the Zhou Family, can only decide his own lifelong affairs. Although I am his elder, I cannot make any promises on his behalf regarding such matters!"

Hearing this, Su Renmei immediately responded, "Taoist Friend Zhou is being modest. I am aware that Nephew Zhou’s progress to this day is all thanks to your cultivation and support. While he might not listen to others, he will surely heed your words, won’t he?"

He suspected that Zhou Daoyi deliberately evaded helping to facilitate this matter by deflecting with his words.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi immediately spoke righteously, "Taoist Friend Su is mistaken. Zhengchun has reached this point today due to his exceptional abilities, not because he received any help or support. His contributions to the Zhou Family are absolutely greater than any cultivation the family has provided him!"

He then stated with a serious tone, "I will only help convey this matter to him, but as to whether he agrees or not, I dare not guarantee!"

His earnest demeanor left Su Renmei slightly surprised, as he had not expected Zhou Chun to hold such a position in Zhou Daoyi’s heart.

This forced him to reassess Zhou Chun’s status and influence within the Zhou Family in his mind.

Hence, when Zhou Daoyi stood up to take his leave, Su Renmei said earnestly, "Taoist Friend Zhou, feel free to tell Nephew Zhou that with Yuzhen’s talents, coupled with our Su Family’s cultivation, she is bound to become a Purple Mansion Cultivator and even has a considerable chance of forming a Golden Core!"

"If he agrees to dual cultivation with Yuzhen, as her Dao companion, his path of cultivation will surely be much smoother than that of other cultivators!"

"Moreover, as long as he agrees to this, our Su Family can establish various collaborations with the Zhou Family. He might even get the opportunity to receive guidance from our Su Family’s Golden Core Stage ancestors!"

Su Renmei thought that his words would surely move Zhou Daoyi.

But to his disappointment, Zhou Daoyi just nodded slightly, saying, "I will surely convey your message accurately," before turning around and leaving without any further change in demeanor.

Only after confirming that Zhou Daoyi had left the Su Family’s stronghold did Su Renmei turn to his niece, who had been silent the whole time, and sighed, "Yuzhen, Yuzhen, it seems that your future husband is even more outstanding than our inquiries suggested!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuzhen’s ears turned red.

She bit her lip tightly and replied in a low voice, "Ninth Uncle, it’s too soon for you to say that now. Seeing Senior Zhou’s manner just now, I’m afraid that Taoist Friend Zhou might not agree!"

"He dares!"

Su Renmei’s eyes widened as he exclaimed in a low voice, "You’re the Grand Ancestor’s most beloved granddaughter, and you’re so beautiful. If he dares to be blind to this fact, he would be forcing the Grand Ancestor himself to intervene!"

Su Yuzhen heard this and fell silent.

Her nature was gentle, and she was well-educated, not inclined to argue with her elders on such matters.

On the other hand, upon returning to the Zhou Family’s stronghold, Zhou Chun immediately sought out Zhou Daoyi to inquire about Su Renmei’s reasons for summoning him.

Facing Zhou Chun, who was full of curiosity and questioning, Zhou Daoyi hesitated for a long time before looking at him and asking in a low voice, "Zhengchun, do you want a Dao companion?"

"Why do you ask that?"

Zhou Chun’s complexion momentarily stiffened as he gazed at Zhou Daoyi with a puzzled look, truly baffled by his question.

"Taoist Friend Su invited me over, simply because he wanted to play matchmaker for his grand-niece. It’s because she has taken a fancy to you, Zhengchun, and wants to become your dual cultivation partner!"

Zhou Daoyi, while whispering the answer, whispered again, "I actually think that Miss Yuzhen is quite a good match too. Not only is she beautiful, but her talents and cultivation level are excellent, and she comes from a Golden Core family like the Su Family, truly a suitable match!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun’s gaze immediately cleared, and he couldn’t help but retort on the spot, "You speak so casually, Elder, but I’ve only met that Miss Su once, and it was as opponents on the battlefield, no less. How is this a suitable match?"

Speaking thus, his face filled with concern as he continued, "You haven’t gone ahead and made the decision for me, have you?"

"Not at all, absolutely not. I said that we need to have your opinion on this!"

Zhou Daoyi shook his head and waved his hands, offering Zhou Chun some reassurance with his words.

He then went on to persuade, "Meeting only once is not such a big deal. Miss Su isn’t ugly; when those mortals get married, don’t many of them only see their brides’ faces on the wedding day? Besides, there’s an old saying, ’no discord, no concord’. Perhaps this is fate!"

"Supreme Elder, why don’t you just say it straight? What exactly is the Su Family’s intention? What promises did they make you?"

Zhou Chun rolled his eyes, finding Zhou Daoyi’s words absurd.

He wasn’t foolish and knew very well that even if he was handsome, strong, and had excellent qualifications, it was improbable for a beauty from a Golden Core family to fall for him at first sight. @@novelbin@@

Now that such a beautiful cultivator with background, strength, and looks had suddenly expressed a wish to become his partner, he wouldn’t believe it if there wasn’t a catch involved.

Either they were looking for him to take over a burden, or they were interested in his resources!

It certainly wasn’t because they were taken with his appearance!

Nevertheless, he was indeed quite curious at this moment about what sort of benefits the Su Family had promised Zhou Daoyi to make him so eager to persuade him to agree to this marriage.

"The Su Family indeed made quite a few promises, but not to me, to you and the family!"

"And this matter isn’t as complicated as you think; there aren’t that many traps for you to fall into!"

Zhou Daoyi, looking at Zhou Chun’s cautious face, couldn’t help but shake his head slightly and immediately repeated the words Su Renmei had said to him.

After finishing, he addressed the pensive Zhou Chun, "Although our Zhou Family’s strength is much weaker than the Su Family’s, if we really want to retaliate, it will be enough to give the Su Family a hard time. So, I think what Su Renmei said is probably true; it’s unlikely he would lie to us intentionally on such a matter."

However, Zhou Chun immediately shook his head in response, "Even if everything he said is true, I still disagree with this. I don’t want to become a human cauldron to aid someone else’s cultivation, nor do I wish to become dao partners with a female cultivator with whom I have no emotional foundation!"

Yet, while Zhou Chun spoke these words, he failed to notice Zhou Daoyi’s complexion turning somewhat darker.

Turns out, Zhou Chun’s unintentional words had unexpectedly reminded Zhou Daoyi of his own bitter past experiences.

Perhaps because of recalling that heartbreak, Zhou Daoyi at that moment couldn’t help but empathize and agree with Zhou Chun’s words.

He nodded and said, "You’re right, Zhengchun. We cultivators live between heaven and earth; even if our bodies are subject to certain constraints, our minds should be free and unrestrained, and certainly not limited by others. One’s feelings, even more so, shouldn’t be compelled by anyone!"

Saying this, Zhou Daoyi’s darkened complexion quickly returned to normal, his face revealing a confident air.

He was now a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, and as long as he was unwilling, no one could force him to do something he didn’t want to do.

So there was no need to dwell too much on the past.

Then, turning his gaze towards Zhou Chun, he nodded slightly and said, "Since you are so resolute, Zhengchun, let’s go to the Su Family’s base together. I will personally clarify matters with Su Renmei and his granddaughter, to let them give up hope completely!"
