Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

Lin Wanxiu frowned slightly, caught in a dilemma.

The situation at home is indeed not optimistic; we are in an awkward predicament where there is no one to take care of us.

I'm only ten years old, and my talent is average. Even if I pile up tons of exotic beast meat and hire famous teachers to instruct me, I'll only barely break through to the Bone Forging stage in the future.

His bone-forging skills were decent in the outer city, but not so good in the inner city.

Each major household has skilled individuals at this level.

Only by practicing martial arts can one truly be considered a master in one's own right, and only then can the Lin family gain a foothold in the inner city and avoid being coveted by others.

However, even after decades of accumulation, the number of skilled practitioners in the entire Five Rivers City is no more than a hundred.

With our current resources, it's completely impossible to recruit someone of this caliber.

"Miss, I think this man is quite good. Not only is he exceptionally talented and comes from a respectable family, but he also has a gentle personality. If we could recruit him as a son-in-law, it would be a good choice."

Seeing that Lin Wan'er was interested, Aunt Liu instructed someone to bring over the documents and offered her suggestions.

She knew her young mistress's temperament well; she seemed gentle, but she was strong-willed and never gave up. Once she made up her mind about something, she would never change it.

Now that we've finally managed to persuade them, we need to press on and finalize the matter quickly.

"Liu Ming..."

Lin Wan'er glanced at it, shook her head, and didn't say anything.

This person is a good person, but he is not suitable for the Lin family at this time.

If one were to marry into another's family, it would be highly likely to be an act of inviting trouble into the home.

"There are some more here, miss, please take a look."

Aunt Liu didn't insist; after all, it's all about first impressions.

She casually added some other materials, but removed those with low potential or those with bad deeds.

After reading through all the materials, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but rub her temples.

These people either have too much potential and might turn against the Lin family in the future, or their strength is too low; they haven't even reached the Bone Forging stage and can't handle the situation.

"Miss, do you have a satisfactory candidate? All the information on this Bone Forging Martial Artist is here."

Aunt Liu asked, her tone tinged with anxiety.

At this point, some people had already started filling in their prices, preparing to compete.

Most people chose Liu Ming.

A few, however, were preparing to bring someone into their family as a son-in-law.

"Aunt Liu, what about those?"

Lin Wan'er pointed to a pile of documents next to her.

"These are all things I've discarded; the data isn't good enough. Even if I leave the seeds, they won't grow into good seedlings in the future."

Aunt Liu explained.

What they need most are exceptionally talented martial artists.

Only in this way can we have a high probability of producing talented offspring.

"Let me see."

Lin Wan'er reached out and took the stack of documents.

The form listed the martial artist's name, a three-character name: Chen Shisheng.

Seeing Lin Wan'er looking at the documents, Aunt Liu couldn't help but frown.

These people have exhausted their potential, and even if they marry into the Lin family in the future, they will not be able to break through to the next level.

If you marry a prostitute, the children you have will most likely be just like her, with average talent and no value in the relationship.

"Miss, why...why did you write this person's name?!"

When Aunt Liu turned her head, she was immediately stunned and stared at Lin Wan'er in disbelief.

Lin Wan'er was engrossed in writing the three characters "Chen Shisheng" on the expression of interest form.

"Miss, this man has exhausted his potential! Marrying him would be far from ideal. Besides, he has just broken through to the Bone Forging stage; even if he marries into your family, he won't be able to solve the problem of the river bandits."

Aunt Liu's cloudy eyes suddenly widened, and she couldn't help but speak.

"Our Lin family's remaining resources can only afford to choose one person. Miss, if you choose him, our Lin family... will never rise again!"

At this point, she stepped forward, snatched the already written expression of interest form, and tore it to shreds in a few swift movements.

"Aunt Liu, there are still many here."

Lin Wan'er took out another stack and wrote Chen Shisheng's name on it again.

"Miss, you absolutely mustn't write about this person!"

"Don't worry, Aunt Liu, I know what I'm doing."

"No! Miss, you're putting the whole family to ruin. I can't watch the master's life savings go to waste."

Memories flickered across Aunt Liu's old face, her eyes hardened, and she gripped Lin Wan'er's hands tightly with her claw-like fingers, her attitude firm.

"Aunt Liu, please relax."

Lin Wan'er said helplessly.

Aunt Liu was her grandmother's maid and grew up with her father. Now she was protecting her and her brother. She knew that Aunt Liu meant no harm.

But her choice was not random.

As someone from the inner city, she knew best how difficult it was to be transferred from an outlying area to the inner city!

This shows that this person's talent is far more than what is shown on the data sheet.

Moreover, Chen Shisheng's file details that he was transferred to the inner city through meritorious service.

This reminded her of the recent uproar over the water bandits in Pingyang Town.

Coincidentally, Chen Shisheng's posting location at the time was Pingyang Town!

These details alone are enough to show that this person must have been the most important figure in dealing with the river bandits.

What the Lin family lacked was a martial artist capable of dealing with river bandits.

Instead of the seeds that Aunt Liu wanted her to keep.

This is Lin Wan'er's opinion.

After all, even if she were to marry a highly talented martial artist, it would take more than ten years from the birth of their child to raising them to adulthood.

Whether the Lin family still exists, and whether Wuhe City still exists, are all questions.

The most important and urgent thing is to focus on solving the problems in the present moment.

If we can't even survive now, how can we expect to survive in the future?

As for what happens next, we can only wait and see.

In the end, Aunt Liu couldn't persuade Lin Wan'er otherwise and had to let go, allowing Lin Wan'er to choose Chen Shisheng.

.....

"I've been chosen!?"

Inside the room, Chen Shisheng stared at the sign in his hand, looking at Li Huan with a look of utter astonishment.

He truly didn't expect that even though he filled out the information haphazardly, someone would still select him.

These young ladies from the inner city are a bit...too thirsty, aren't they?

"Senior Brother, could you please tell me this person's name?"

He asked.

He didn't intend to leave seeds to make money.

It's just that the feeling of being chosen is really unpleasant.

This suddenly made him feel like a stud pig, being chosen by others and dragged away to mate.

This is not what he wants at all. He prefers a gentle and intellectual woman like his sister-in-law, not a woman who randomly chooses male lovers at a garden party.

As for asking the person's name, he was also curious to see which young lady would choose someone whose potential had been exhausted.

This has nothing to do with anything else; it's purely out of curiosity.

"Junior Brother Lin, your trip was worthwhile. The family that chose you is a wealthy family in the inner city called Lin Family Shipping. They manage about a dozen boats of various sizes on the river and are very rich."

Li Huan deliberately emphasized the last two words, stressing them out.

"No, Senior Brother, I'm just curious about this person. I have no intention of making a deal with him... uh,."

Chen Shisheng was speechless.

"No, Junior Brother Chen. This woman is gentle and refined, a renowned beauty in the inner city. If you could marry her, it would be a perfect match for you both. Her family would provide you with money and provisions, and you could also enjoy yourself. Wouldn't that be wonderful..."

Li Huan gave a knowing smile and offered a word of advice.

"No, please refuse for me. Senior Brother, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Chen Shisheng shook his head and refused, completely giving up the idea of ​​contacting him.

"Alright then. Since you don't want to, I won't force you."

Li Huan nodded.

This kind of thing is a two-way choice; if the martial artist doesn't agree, it won't work.

After Chen Shisheng left, Li Huan returned to the room and looked at the large pile of unselected martial artists on the table, feeling a bit of a headache.

The requirements for martial arts participants at the garden party are getting higher and higher, which has led to several recent instances of unsuccessful selections.

If this continues, the reputation of the park will suffer a great blow.

His income will also be greatly reduced.

"Huh? There are words below?"

At that moment, Li Huan suddenly caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a few ink marks on the back of Chen Shisheng's file.
