Chapter 3  : Political Marriage

“Father, why are you looking for me?”

Audrey asked calmly. She was Saint Magister Audrey, not the good-for-nothing girl Audrey. Therefore, she had no feelings for the man in front of her.

Of course, as the successor of her body, some of the memories of the good-for-nothing girl Audrey would more or less affect her.

“Audrey, regarding the lack of cultivation resources, that was the decision of the family meeting. Although I am the patriarch, there’s nothing I can do.”

Calder sighed softly, his eyes filled with helplessness.

“It’s alright,” Audrey said softly.

Even if she did not have cultivation resources, she could still cultivate magic. She could totally rely on herself. There was no need to rely on the family.

“Actually, I don’t recommend continuing your cultivation.”

Calder looked at his daughter. He could not bear it, but he had to say it.

In fact, as the patriarch, how could he not have resources in his hands.

Even if his daughter was cut off by the family, he could still rely on his own abilities to provide his daughter with the things she needed to cultivate.

However, he had seen how hard her daughter’s cultivation had been all these years, and he felt pain in his heart.

However, even though she had trained hard, Audrey had not become a fighter.

Perhaps this was fate. Rather than being destined to have no results, it was better to give up.

He didn’t wish to see his daughter continue to work so hard for no reason. Perhaps being an ordinary person and leading a stable life was also a kind of happiness.

“Audrey, you’re already 18 years old. I hope that you can start a family right away, preferably within half a year,” said Calder.

“I’m not interested in starting a family at the moment.”

Audrey shook her head slightly and rejected Calder’s suggestion.

In this world, the lives of cultivators were very long. Some powerful cultivators could even live for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Therefore, some women with powerful cultivations would focus their energy on cultivation in the early stages and would not marry too early.

This was because only by becoming a more powerful cultivator could they find a more outstanding partner.

Marrying at the age of 18 was something only a woman from an ordinary family would do.

“Audrey, I’m sorry. You have to get married within half a year,” Calder insisted.

“Why?”

Audrey raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not want anyone else to interfere in her life, even if that person was her father in this life.

However, she was a little curious. Calder had never interfered in her affairs easily before, so why was he so determined this time.

Calder sighed, “Audrey, the marriage plan between the Davis family and the Fairlie family is about to start. The family council might choose you as the marriage partner.”

Hearing that, Audrey instantly understood what Calder meant.

The Davis family and the Fairlie family had always had a tradition of marriage. The high degree of union between the two families in terms of benefits and influence allowed them to have a dominant position in spark city.

As for the women sent out for marriage, first of all, they had to have a high status. Only then could they show the sincerity of the family.

Secondly, they could not be too outstanding. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to sending talents to other families. It was definitely not worth it.

Therefore, Audrey, the daughter of the patriarch, was also a cultivation waste. She was undoubtedly the best candidate for marriage.

“Ridiculous.”

A cold light flashed in Audrey’s eyes. She hated the system of a marriage alliance.

“Audrey, I’ll help you suppress the family council first. As long as you can get married within half a year, I can decide who you want to marry.”

“But if you don’t get married soon, I won’t be able to do anything about the arrangements made by the family council.”

As a father, Calder naturally wanted his daughter to be happy. This was the only thing he could help his daughter with. After all, he was not the only one in charge of the family.

And at the family level, everyone had to put the family’s interests first, even the patriarch and the patriarch’s daughter.
