When Ji Yuan heard that he was being offered the hand of the most beautiful maiden in the celestial fraternity in marriage by the protégé leader of the Cherry Cosmos Celestial Clan, he began to roll his eyes and quickly rejected the offer in a kind manner.
"It is not that I did not want to marry your daughter but I am a cultivator of the heart and moreover I won't be staying for long in the mortal realm. But I appreciate your kind offer."
He took out another divine sword and handed it to the protégé leader of the Cherry Cosmos Celestial Clan, "This is for your daughter. If we are fated to meet in the Celestial Realm in the future then this divine sword will be our betrothal token and I will surely take her hand in marriage."
He had rejected the offer without causing the other party's reputation to be harmed and in such an understanding manner without making anyone feeling awkward.
Just as he was praising himself in secret for his sudden brilliant for rejecting this sudden marriage, he was swarmed by dozens of loud cries.
"Great Celestial Ji Yuan, please take my daughter hand as well!"
"And mine too…"
"You will surely find my daughter very appealing to your taste…"
"You will find my daughter very desirable to your eyes…"
"Your heart will surely stir with passions by my daughter…"
"Please take my daughter…"
"Great Celestial Ji Yuan…take my daughter instead…"

"You can have two of my daughters…"
"You can have all my daughters…"
"You can have all my daughters, nieces and grand-daughters…"
When these cultivators saw that there was a divine sword to be given if they offer their daughters to Ji Yuan, they quickly hatched a plan; If reject, they may get a divine sword. If Ji Yuan accepts their offer then won't the gift be more than a divine sword then?
Ji Yuan began to curse silently; these people are even more shameless than him…
"No, I do not need to examine your daughter's body. I'm a cultivator of the heart…"
Finally he had managed to reject all their kind offers and he ended up poorer as well.
He had not forgotten about his trial mission, of course.
And very finally, he managed to talk to Xiang Wen in peace after sending away the other six celestial orthodox clans away with some gifts.
"I will like to meditate in the sect's spiritual veins to recuperate back my profound strength. Will that do?"
Xiang Wen was naturally only too glad to be able to render help to Ji Yuan so he answered quickly, "Of course! As long as Great Ancestor Patriarch wishes, you can use it anytime you want to!"
Ji Yuan laughed, "Is that so? Haha. That is good…"
All of a sudden he caught Qiu Xiuyu's melancholy eyes looking at him; it is because she knew that that the day that Ji Yuan goes to the spiritual veins is also the day that he will leave her forever.
Xiang Wen bowed with his hands, "I do have a request for Great Ancestor Patriarch. I wonder if Great Ancestor Patriarch will be able to accede to my request?"
Ji Yuan laughed, "As long as it is a reasonable request, I will surely oblige you."
Xiang Wen laughed slyly, "Actually I have a grand-daughter. She is really beautiful and have a pleasant attitude. I am sure that Great Ancestor Patriarch will surely find her pleasing…"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan randomly took out another divine sword, "I am a cultivator of the heart. Thank you for your kind offer instead. When your grand-daughter is able to ascend to the Celestial Realm in the future, I will surely take her hand in marriage."
Xiang Wen was smiling and looking very pleased as he held onto the divine sword that Ji Yuan had just given him.
Ji Yuan said, "I am tired and I will like to retire with Elder Xiuyu. In 3 days' time, I will visit the sect's spiritual veins."
Qiu Xiuyu was startled but secretly pleased when she heard that Ji Yuan would be going to the spiritual veins in 3 days' time instead of immediately.
She still got 3 days to be with him…
"Great Ancestor Patriarch, please hold!" Elder Dong had suddenly rushed forward to pay his respect.

"What is it?"
Elder Dong humbly smiled weakly, "I hope that Great Ancestor Patriarch will not bear any grudges to me. I know that I've been too disrespectful to you in the past. I really have no eye balls and can't recognize Great Ancestor Patriarch."
Ji Yuan laughed loudly, "Not at all. I've always been a forgiving man."

Ji Yuan: …
Even Fairy Anyang could not resist a chuckle as well.
Elder Dong smiled and continued, "I've a grand-daughter that I will like to betroth to Ancestor Patriarch…"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Several elders immediately stepped forward to ask for forgiveness all of a sudden, "Great Ancestor Patriarch, actually I've looked down on you previously. So, I will like to offer my daughter/ grand-daughter/ niece to you…"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Many of the elders that did not have any daughters, grand-daughters, nieces, great grand-daughters were now cursing those that have one for being too shameless, utterly too shameless in their hearts.
Even Ji Yuan was cursing them loudly in his heart; It is no wonder why Senior Mo Bei has failed this trial 3 times. These mortal cultivators are trying to bankrupt me and corrupting a faithful man like me...they are even more shameless than me...
