Chapter 530: Chapter 529: The Issue of Offspring _1
Meanwhile.
Across the ocean, in a magnificent hall on a certain island.
Dongfang Qing sat in the main seat, looking somewhat impatient.
How come there was still no news from Nangong Que after all these days?
If he didn’t receive a reply soon, he was going to be driven mad by these old fogies who wouldn’t stop pestering him about carrying on their bloodline!
The three old men beneath him were oblivious to their master’s internal complaints.
The leader, an old man with white hair and using a cane, spoke tremblingly, "Family Head, even if you don’t consider us old men, you should at least consider the Dongfang family, right? The Dongfang family hasn’t produced a Lord of Destiny for a hundred years. If we don’t address the issue of successors, we will completely lose our position as the head of the Four Ancient Great Families!"
Hearing this, the second oldest man, the One-Eyed Dragon, chimed in, "Yes, back in the day, our Dongfang family was so prestigious. But now, due to the lack of a successor, we’ve been the laughing stock of the other three major families for nearly twenty years. If you do not consider your lifelong happiness, we old men will have no face to meet our ancestors when we pass away!"
Faced with the two elders’ painstaking advice, Dongfang Qing had to perk up and respond, "The Great Elder, it’s been a hundred years since the Dongfang family produced a Lord of Destiny. How can you be so sure that my offspring will be the Lord of Destiny? What if he turns out to be a worthless man who can only leech off others, wouldn’t that hasten our family’s downfall? As for not having the face to meet our ancestors after death, there’s no need to worry. It’s me who doesn’t want children, so if anyone should be embarrassed, it’s me."
At these words from Dongfang Qing, the two elders turned deathly pale.
They looked as if their hearts had been pierced!
But Dongfang Qing remained unaffected, not because he was cold-hearted, but because such dramas played out every few days and he was simply tired of them.
Seeing that their emotional tactic had failed, the shortest of the old men lightly coughed, "Family Head, do you have any unspeakable illnesses? If you really have a disease, we should catch it early. You are only in your fifties now, it’s not too late for treatment. Once you get to your sixties, then it will truly be too late!"
No man can accept being told he’s not up to par, and Dongfang Qing was no exception.
Although he knew it was a provocation, he could not help but correct him, "Third Elder, don’t talk nonsense! I had a full physical not too long ago, and I don’t have any hidden diseases. The reason I don’t want children is simply because I haven’t met anyone I like!"
Indeed, he was single and childless.
But that didn’t mean he’d never been with a woman.
He knew very well whether he was capable or not!
If he had been incapable, he wouldn’t have been able to exhaust her into unconsciousness that night.
Thinking of the woman he was still longing for, Dongfang Qing couldn’t help but sigh.
Twenty-six years had passed, and he still hadn’t found her.
He didn’t know whether they would be able to meet again in this lifetime.
Just as he was ruminating, Dongfang Qing’s hand accidentally brushed against his phone that was by his side.
The phone was set to face recognition; as his gaze swept over it, a young girl’s photo appeared on the screen.
When he saw the familiar-looking face, his eyes widened in surprise, and his hand began to tremble with excitement.
He swiftly opened the message box and when he discovered that the photo was sent by Nangong Que, he immediately called him through video call.
As soon as the video call was connected, before the person on the other end could speak, Dongfang Qing excitedly ordered, "I want all information on that girl within a minute!"
