Chapter 612

A Marriage Contract

There were only four months left until the Battle of the Nine Counties. The atmosphere in the prefecture capital had become much more solemn. Everyone knew that the Battle of the Nine Counties was related to the honor of Muqin Prefecture. It was also a way to display Muqin Prefecture's strength.

Zhuowen didn't stay at the House of Marquis Qin for too long. He only stayed for three days before setting off for Rattan Armor City. With the Bronze Paper Kite as his mount, although Rattan Armor City was far away, it was nothing for Zhuowen. He could reach it in a few days.

A green shadow flashed by and Zhuowen stopped in the sky above Rattan Armor City. Looking down at the city under construction, Zhuowen smiled. He knew that Lü Nantian was indeed preparing to turn Rattan Armor City into a super city. He could even feel many powerful warriors below.

These warriors were probably transferred from the House of Marquis Qin by the Lü Nantian. Their purpose was to speed up the construction of Rattan Armor City.

What surprised Zhuowen was that there was a huge statue erected at the gate of Rattan Armor City. The statue was in the image of himself.

"Looks like I've become famous too!"

Shaking his head and laughing, Zhuowen patted the Green Bird under him. With a loud cry, the Green Bird circled in the sky and slowly landed in Rattan Armor City.

At this moment, many people in Rattan Armor City noticed the Green Bird that landed. The young man on the back of the Green Bird gave them a sense of familiarity.

After landing, Zhuowen put away the Bronze Paper Kite and directly flew towards the Zhuo Family. He instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"That young man looks so familiar!

I think I've seen him somewhere before. "

The warriors who were originally scattered around building the city all looked at the young man's disappearing figure in confusion. They felt that the young man looked very familiar.

"Look!

Isn't that young man's face very similar to the statue outside the city gate?

Could that person be the legendary Zhuowen? "

No one knew who it was, but someone pointed at the statue outside the city gate and spoke with an excited expression. Immediately, it attracted the gazes of many people to the statue.

Sure enough, they discovered that the young man's face was ninety percent similar to the statue's. The statue looked a little younger, and the young man was a little more mature. However, their faces were the same.

"Yes!

That person must be Zhuowen. "

After recognizing Zhuowen, quite a few cultivators in the surroundings were in an uproar. Their faces were filled with reverence. Zhuowen's deeds had not only spread in the provincial capital, but had basically spread to the entire Muqin province.

Zhuowen was a genius who rose from nothing and grew step by step, defeating countless geniuses in Muqin County. Even the destruction of Baichuan Marquis Mansion was inseparable from Zhuowen. It could be said that Zhuowen's deeds were filled with miracles and brilliance.

With so many sensational deeds, Zhuo Wen was like a legend in the hearts of all the ancient martial art practitioners in Muqin County. Many ancient martial art practitioners saw Zhuo Wen as a role model. The ancient martial art practitioners of Vine Armor City were even more fanatical about Zhuo Wen. Many of them were even proud to be citizens of Vine Armor City.

Zhuowen naturally did not know his current status and weight among the other warriors. Even if he knew, he would not be excited or happy because of this.

He was very clear that the law of this continent was that the strong were respected, and the weak were prey to the strong. This was the only law since ancient times. Zhuo Wen's current achievements did not fall from the sky out of thin air. He had exchanged his life for them time and time again.

Although there were opportunities within, without a strong will and hard work, even if the opportunities were in front of you, you might not be able to obtain them.

Experts were never made overnight. Instead, they had to walk through endless bitterness and tears. Zhuo Wen himself was very clear about this principle, so he had never felt proud or complacent. Instead, it was a matter of course, because this was the result of one's hard work.

Furthermore, Zhuowen's goal was not just to become a powerhouse. He needed to become even stronger. He needed to be strong enough to cover the sky with one hand, strong enough to shatter galaxies, strong enough to be indestructible.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Zhuowen's goal was an unreachable dream, but Zhuowen knew that what he needed was not the result, but the process. He needed to set an unreachable dream for himself. Otherwise, if he did not even have a dream, he would become lost and at a loss.

After returning to the family, Zhuowen handed over the majority of the resources he had obtained from the Blood Devil Inheritance to Zhuo Xiangding. He knew that if the family wanted to rise, resources were very important.

The resources he had obtained from the Blood Devil Inheritance were comparable to half of the foundation of a superpower. Zhuowen knew that with these resources, it would only take ten years for the Zhuo Family to develop to an unprecedented level. Although it would not be comparable to a superpower, it would not be a problem for the family to surpass the majority of the super cities.

When Zhuowen took out a terrifying amount of resources, Zhuo Xiangding was stunned. Soon after, his face lit up with ecstasy. These resources were extremely important to the Zhuo Family.

Currently, there were many talented seedlings among the Zhuo Family's younger generation. If they wanted to nurture these seedlings into elites, they would undoubtedly need a huge amount of resources. The resources Zhuowen had given them were more than enough for the Zhuo Family to develop into a large family.

After handing over the resources in his hands to Zhuo Xiangding, Zhuowen wanted to return to the Veiled Dragon Pavilion and enter seclusion. However, Zhuo Xiangding stopped him.

"Grandfather!

Is there anything else? "Zhuowen could not help but ask when he saw Zhuo Xiangding's hesitant expression.

"Come with me first!

I want to show you something. "

Zhuo Xiangding seemed to have made up his mind. He suddenly pulled Zhuowen into the inner room. Then, Zhuowen saw Zhuo Xiangding rummaging through the inner study as if he was looking for something.

"Found it!"

Zhuo Xiangding said in pleasant surprise. Soon after, he took out a somewhat shabby brocade box from the corner of the bookshelf. The surface of the brocade box was even covered in cobwebs. It seemed to be from a long time ago.

"Grandfather!

This is … "Zhuowen asked in confusion.

Zhuo Xiangding handed the brocade box to Zhuowen and said with a smile, "You'll know when you open it. This old man originally thought that you would never use this. However, your talent and performance have surprised even your grandfather. You should be able to use this thing."

With a puzzled expression, Zhuowen finally opened the brocade box. Inside the brocade box was a palm-sized scroll. It looked extremely small.

The surface of the scroll was slightly yellowed, which was a sign of time. Zhuo Wen took the scroll and unfolded it. It was filled with dense black handwriting, and each handwriting was only the size of a thumb.

Zhuowen browsed line by line, and his expression became increasingly strange. After reading, Zhuowen's gaze fell on Zhuo Xiangding and said, "Grandfather!

This is … a marriage contract? "

"Haha!

That's right, this is indeed a marriage contract!

Moreover, the one you are engaged to is the daughter of the Grand Family, one of the five great families of the Imperial City. She is Grand Lily! "At this point, Zhuo Xiangding's voice trembled slightly.

"Grand Family?"

There were a total of seven extremely powerful forces in the Imperial City. Other than the Imperial Family and the Imperial City's Blue Dragon Hall Branch Palace, there were also five great families scattered in the five major areas of the Imperial City. These five great families were extremely powerful, and each of them had a strong foundation. Even the House of Marquis Qin, the number one force in Muqin County, might not necessarily have a stronger foundation than these five great families.

After all, the Imperial City was the head of the nine counties. The size of the county far exceeded the other eight counties. These five great families were the top forces of the Imperial City. They controlled a part of the Imperial City's lifeline, and their foundation was even more terrifying than the average county lord.

As one of the five great families, the Grand Family's foundation was naturally terrifying. Zhuowen had also heard of Grand Lily before. She was the proud daughter of the Grand Family. Her talent was extremely powerful, and it was said that she was one of the top ten existences on the Green Emperor Leaderboard. Her strength was unfathomable.

He did not expect that he would actually have a marriage contract with such a proud daughter of the Grand Family. This was somewhat unrealistic.

The Grand Family was high and mighty, and was one of the five great families of the Imperial City. On the other hand, the Zhuo Family was merely an insignificant small family in a low-level city. One was in the sky, and the other was in the ground. How did this marriage contract come about?

As if seeing Zhuowen's doubts, Zhuo Xiangding shook his head and said, "It's a long story!

Zhuowen, twenty years ago, there were actually no five great families in the Imperial City. There were only four great families. The Grand Family rose to prominence in the last twenty years. "

"Twenty years ago, the Grand Family was just like us, a small family in Rattan Armor City. Back then, the Grand Family and our Zhuo Family were family friends, so our relationship was extremely good."

"Later on, a peerless genius appeared in the Grand Family. His name was Grand Haohai, and he is the current head of the Grand Family. This person's talent was extremely terrifying. Back then, he and your father, Zhuo Xiaotian, became the Rattan Armor Duo. The two of them were about the same age, had terrifying talent, and had similar cultivation levels. Therefore, the two of them were close friends."

"Twenty years ago, Grand Haohai's daughter was born. At that time, you were not yet born. You were born a year later!

Back then, Grand Haohai and Xiaotian joked that if Xiaotian's descendant was a boy, then they would set a child marriage. This marriage contract was signed at that time. "

Hearing this, Zhuowen was slightly speechless. This marriage contract was really a bit of a joke. At that time, he was not yet born. If it had dragged on for a few years, wouldn't he have had to marry a woman who was a few years older than him?

"Later on, Grand Duke Haoran didn't want the Grand Duke Family to fade into obscurity, so he resolutely moved the Grand Duke Family to the Imperial Capital County. Xiaotian and Grand Duke Haoran had a deep relationship, so he also helped the Grand Duke Family move."

"After that, the Grand Family settled down in the Imperial City, while Grand Haoran and Xiaotian went to the Imperial City to work hard. They wanted to make a name for themselves there."

"A year later, Xiaotian returned from the Imperial City with a baby in his arms. That baby was you!

After he handed the baby to me, he left the Grand Family again without saying a word. It was because of this departure that all news of Xiaotian disappeared, like a clay ox entering the sea! "

"After Xiaotian disappeared, the Grand Family rose rapidly in the Imperial Capital County. The speed of their rise was so fast that it almost reached a shocking level. In a short twenty years, the Grand Family went from a small, unknown family to one of the five great families."

"And this marriage contract of yours only lasted for twenty years. In these twenty years, the Grand Family did not mention the marriage contract, nor did they return to Vine Armor City. I'm afraid they have long forgotten about this small city!"

At this point, Zhuo Xiangding said hesitantly, "Back then, I did not take out this marriage contract because our Zhuo Family was too insignificant to the Grand Family. However, Zhuowen, you are different. Your talent is even greater than your father's. If a genius like you brought this marriage contract to the Grand Family, you would definitely be accepted by the Grand Family, and even be put in an important position."
