Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2725: Chapter 2720: Multiple Reciprocal Pursuits

Could it be the legendary dual pursuit?

One can only say that a wedding is a wedding; the excitement is still rising.

According to the principle that abnormal occurrences have a reason, Fu Qian analyzed step by step the content seen in six frames so far and indicated that he seemed to have uncovered something incredible.

The Crown Princess is considered the right person because deep down she may already have the Seed of Ecstasy?

One can only say based on appearance alone, she doesn’t look like it; overall, she has a rather cool demeanor.

But don’t forget that among those players I’ve seen, there’s also the extremely restrained Brother Benji, so a single outward appearance isn’t credible.

This new bride’s performance indeed has some unusual aspects.

At least as a theoretical newcomer, she blended naturally into the somewhat maddening atmosphere of the Em House Palace.

For instance, this abnormal calmness at the moment.

Once assuming this point, Mr. Jose’s actions carry an imperial intricacy.

Given his level, even the most concealed Seed of Ecstasy is hard not to grasp, so he almost certainly knows.

This is likely the reason she was chosen as the Crown Princess.

So why did he choose such a wife for his son?

Disdainful of the ordinary, wanting him to experience what is called ultimate pleasure?

This thought process seems excessively joyful? Parental love isn’t measured this way.

It is known that such a thing is somewhat contagious; Don Juan can’t enjoy it for long before becoming the same—wait a moment, isn’t he already the same?

The term ”dual pursuit” became more vivid in Fu Qian’s mind at some moment.

Though what he does isn’t particularly rare, Don Juan’s steadfast will in wandering among flowers is indeed commendable.

From past records, he is known not to have inherited his father’s talent, being merely of ordinary physical constitution.

To cause chaos in the court to such an extent, and this astonishing allure, indeed feels somewhat beyond logical explanation.

Even the young stepmother upfront claimed to be ”unable to restrain herself,” which Mr. Jose subtly acknowledged.

Not fearing the son being infected with bad habits by his daughter-in-law because he is already a carrier?

Simply thinking this way seems to make the situation suddenly more reasonable.

Brother Don Juan’s publicly known exploits, today’s sultry atmosphere of Em House Palace, and even Mr. Jose’s astounding vigilance, with his direct gut-reaction...

Knowing the problem with Don Juan all along, not wanting him to harm others, is that why he found a similar carrier for him?

Including Don Juan’s sudden death after marriage seems to have an explanation.

Lord of Father’s Amnion isn’t some sanctified being; as the Seed of Ecstasy grows to a certain extent, it exploding to consume the host isn’t an overly strange progression.

So Mr. Jose’s rigorous selection of such a daughter-in-law showcases societal responsibility instead?

Under the furrowed brow, it is the fierce conflict between parental love and royal duty?

Fu Qian indicates thinking this way is too naive.

Watching drama is watching drama, don’t elevate every thought to ideological level.

Setting aside character and sentiment, just by Mr. Jose’s deeds alone, carrying such motives reveals considerable logical contradictions.

Being aware of the Crown Princess’s situation may be true, and deliberately choosing her may be true too, but the motives aren’t solely sociological.

He deliberately selected such a character to achieve a special purpose—even today.

Mr. Ji Sr.’s plan to confront Jose through some ceremonial means because the latter also prepared a ceremony?

...

This is a wedding indeed; how much dual pursuit does it contain?

Some previous speculations suddenly became astonishingly clear at that moment.

So not only Don Juan and Princess Consort Xing are a pair of star-crossed lovers, but Mr. Ji Sr. and Mr. Jose as well?

Truly a thrilling and exhilarating confrontation.

”You... why?”

Fu Qian believes he’s not the only one with this sentiment, as the young Don Juan seems somewhat overwhelmed by the bride’s heartfelt confession once more.

Staring at the earnest yet stubborn face, at that moment, his tone weakened slightly, unable to comprehend why she made such a decision.

”Slowly you will understand; I just knew a bit earlier... I dared not believe it at first either, that you are my destined one.”

Unfortunately, the response received was desperate.

A casual remark, the bride expressed her dual nature as a riddler and a romantic.

”But I’m really not familiar with you; how could you...”

Don Juan appeared at a loss for words.

”No, we’ve met; you just can’t remember.”

The bride’s tone remained calm yet firm.

”I said, I only recognized this earlier.”

...

See, the solemn vows of newcomers really can silence the audience.

Those who feel indifferent upon hearing, simply aren’t heartfelt enough.

With yet another exchange between the groom and bride, the entire Sanctuary became exceptionally quiet, and the atmosphere gradually turned indescribable.

Especially intriguing are the expressions of numerous gentlemen.

Regardless of whether the bride’s words logically make sense, the contrast before and after is truly stark.

Deprived, wandering vagrant, if not for having a good father would have died as countless a scoundrel, but happens to have such a new wife, truly grinding teeth in frustration considering the injustice of destiny.

What a pity, having a good dad is truly remarkable.

Not only helped choose the right person but probably even assisted further, letting that right person believe his son is also right.

Simply said, even the romance is handled.

Indeed, for Fu Qian, how could he be satisfied just simply explaining the Crown Princess’s behavior as romantic indulgence?

Any anomaly has its cause. Could it be she is indeed telling the truth, and did have prior interaction with the groom?

As for why the groom doesn’t remember?

Simple, didn’t Don Juan say it himself earlier, feeling like an extension of his father’s life?

Plus, Mr. Jose personally admitted that the daughter-in-law was chosen with his assistance.

Could it be these two statements are genuinely truthful, and Mr. Jose indeed once interacted with the Crown Princess on behalf of his son?

Actually, for Fu Qian, when the Crown Princess described it that way for the first time, Fu Qian naturally recalled the Dream Maiden and Meng Lang in the palace icehouse and Heavenly Mountain Child matchmaking them.

Such déjà vu, though this time the matchmaker’s identity is even more peculiar.

Moreover, there’s no need to think so vilely; the Crown Princess’s particularly special mental state, along with Mr. Jose’s versatile techniques, imply the latter could entirely employ a spiritual induction method without direct action.

As for the significance of such complexity—now, isn’t it the significance?

Confronting deliberate sabotage of ceremony by someone, the bride is reflecting the plan’s resilience through her performance.
