Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: It’s Not His Fault In truth, in her heart, she resented their high-handed decisions. Yet she could only feel powerless against their actions. “Elders, it’s me who will be getting married after all. Shouldn’t you respect my opinion?” “Miss, if you have any opinion, feel free to speak.” “Marriage is a major event in life. Even though as the Family Head, everything I do is for the benefit of the Xuanyuan Sect, I still don’t want to make a rash decision regarding my marriage. So I hope the elders can give me some time to think it through.” “Miss, four years ago, you said this to us. Four years later, you gave us an answer, deciding to marry Rong Shaoze. Yet the result was that you and he were fundamentally incompatible. Now, you’re saying this again. Miss, you don’t have much time to think. Do you truly want to see the Xuanyuan Sect fall?!” Wushuang’s expression slightly changed, “Second Elder, your words are too harsh!” “Miss’s actions are also too severe!” The honest and straightforward Fourth Elder stood up and said loudly, “Miss, we usually listen to you in everything. Can’t you listen to us this once?! Your marriage needs to be settled quickly, otherwise everyone on the island will be worried! If you don’t leave any heirs, do you want us to break out in civil war over who inherits the Xuanyuan Sect after you’re gone?!” Wushuang staggered back two steps. She naturally didn’t want to see such a situation, but… she also didn’t want to have children with another man. Nor did she want her child to follow in her footsteps. The curse of a lifespan of only twenty-seven years, can it truly not be broken? Is the fate of the Xuanyuan Family truly destined to be so tragic? “Miss, how about we give you three more days to consider? After three days, everyone on the island hopes to hear your choice,” the Second Elder said firmly. What he spoke of was a choice, not an answer. Meaning that no matter what, she must choose a man from the list to marry… “You are forcing me!” Wushuang clenched her hands, gritting her teeth. “We are also doing this for the good of the whole Xuanyuan Sect! Therefore, we apologize for any offense caused!” The Second Elder’s face darkened as he sharply ordered a group of men outside, “Keep an eye on Miss, don’t let her leave the castle!” “I want to leave, who dares to stop me!” Wushuang shouted angrily, her chest heaving with anger. The Second Elder said calmly, “If Miss wants to leave, we naturally dare not harm you. However, I think all thirteen thousand islanders would be willing to use their own lives to stop you, Miss.” “Second Elder!” Wushuang’s eyes widened in shock. She wanted to scold him, but the words were swallowed back. It’s not his fault, nor is it her fault. It’s all the fault of responsibility… Wushuang was placed under house arrest.

Just like how she coaxed her to sleep when she was a child. There was little sparkle in Wushuang’s eyes as she murmured, “Auntie, do I really have to choose a man to marry?” Auntie Fat smiled slightly, “There’s nothing wrong with getting married. Wushuang, if you’re too tired on your own, find someone to share all the responsibilities with you.”
