Xue An didn’t answer directly. Instead, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly began to speak.
"But I still don’t understand why you would agree to Huyue’s marriage. Shouldn’t you be finding someone strong enough to be Huyue’s partner?"
"It’s very simple. Once I die, Qingqiu Fox Country will immediately become a target. If his partner has the slightest ill intent, the entire Fox Clan might face destruction."
"Indeed, this girl is just a mortal, but at least they truly love each other, and that’s enough."
Xue An slightly raised an eyebrow, "Does the Great Elder also believe in love?"
"I didn’t in the past, but now, with not much time left, the more I feel life is lonely and uninteresting, power and fame are all just fleeting illusions, and love, on the contrary, seems lovely and precious... besides..."
The Great Elder smiled, but didn’t mention what else there was, instead asking, "When do you think would be a suitable time for Huyue’s wedding?"
Xue An was slightly taken aback, then with a strange expression said, "Are you so sure I will agree?"
"Of course!" A sly smile appeared on the Great Elder’s face, "In reality, asking you is just a formality because from the moment you stepped into this Jade Tower, you already had the answer in your heart, didn’t you?"
Xue An gave the Great Elder a deep look and then sighed lightly, "That was careless of me. I should’ve realized long ago that there’s none among you who lived for thousands of years who is a simpleton."
"You flatter me!" The Great Elder chuckled, but suddenly started coughing violently.
This coughing seemed as if it would cough his lungs out, full of ominous signs.
Xue An watched quietly, but a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
Finally, the Great Elder stopped coughing and, after a few heavy breaths, a look of exhaustion filled his eyes, and even more gray hairs appeared on his head.
Xue An said in a deep voice, "Can’t hold on much longer?"
The Great Elder chuckled at himself, "Just about. I can feel the Heavenly Dao’s rejection getting stronger and stronger. At most, I have half a month before I’m forcibly obliterated."
Xue An was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "Then let Huyue’s wedding be ten days from now. Before you die, I must ensure your peace of mind."
The Great Elder didn’t ask why ten days or why Xue An said to ensure his peace of mind.
He smiled, then nodded solemnly, "Thank you!"
"Don’t thank me. With my relationship with Huyue, I naturally can’t stand by and do nothing."
With that, Xue An turned around and said lightly, "So, you should take care of your health. Don’t die before the time comes!"
Having said this, Xue An started to walk out.
The Great Elder watched his back, a trace of solace appearing in his eyes.
Because he knew that since Xue An had said so, it meant he had taken up the matter of Qingqiu Fox Country.
When Xue An walked out of the Jade Tower, the people hurriedly approached him.
"How was it? What did the Great Elder say?" Huyue asked urgently.
Xue An smiled slightly, "The Great Elder said that in ten days, it will be an auspicious day, most suitable for marriage. So your wedding will be set for that day."
Huyue looked at Xue An in a daze, and only after a long while did he say, "Did the Great Elder really say that to you? You’re not joking, are you?"
"A joke? How could a matter like this be a joke?"
With that, Xue An raised his hand and patted Huyue on the shoulder, "Start preparing as soon as possible. You only have ten days!"
Then Xue An turned and left.
Huyue looked at Xue An’s back with a face full of disbelief.
After a long time, Hu Ying softly said, "Brother, what should we do next?"
Huyue gritted his teeth tightly, "Inform all parties immediately that I will marry my partner in ten days."
