Chapter 713

Facing Shangguan Feixiong's aggressive gaze, Zi Chen didn't know what to say. Looking to the side, Shangguan Yue'er lowered her head, her face blushing.

Obviously, she was also waiting for Zi Chen's reply. If he didn't give her a good answer, she would definitely be hurt.

As for the others, they all had complicated expressions on their faces. But no matter what their expressions were, no one had any intention of giving Zi Chen any advice. Some even had the mischievous thought that Zi Chen would suddenly explode and say, "I'm not willing."

"Hurry up and say yes. She's such a good girl." A voice transmission sounded in Zi Chen's mind. It was from Wang Qiong.

Zi Chen didn't know how to answer. Right now, there were four figures flashing in his mind. Wang Xian'er, Su Mengyao, Lin Xue, and Shangguan Yue'er. If it was an engagement, Zi Chen wouldn't mind. But Shangguan Feixiong wanted to marry him.

"What's wrong? You don't want to?"

Seeing that Zi Chen didn't answer for a long time, Shangguan Feixiong's voice suddenly turned cold. He then said, "It's fine if you don't want to. It seems like our Shangguan Family is trying to climb up the social ladder with you, Zi Chen."

As he spoke, Shangguan Feixiong pulled Yue'er and said, "Yue'er, follow me."

Shangguan Yue'er's eyes were red. When she was pulled by Shangguan Feixiong, she raised her head and looked at Zi Chen. Her eyes were filled with confusion, doubt, and disappointment. But more than that, she felt wronged.

At this moment, Yue'er seemed to have lost her soul. She allowed Shangguan Feixiong to pull her along. Her footsteps were mechanical, but her eyes were fixed on Zi Chen.

"Wait."

It was also at this moment that Zi Chen suddenly stood up and shouted to stop them.

"What's wrong? What do you want to say?"

Shangguan Feixiong stopped and turned his head, saying coldly. However, he was actually overjoyed inside, thinking that the Wang family's method was indeed effective. On this matter, he had to provoke Zi Chen and force him into a dead end.

"Don't worry about it. I'll deal with it one by one. I'll explain it to them when I see them in the future." Zi Chen was ready to go all out.

Isn't it just marrying Yue 'er? There's nothing to be afraid of, Zi Chen thought to himself. As for the three of them, he could only explain it to them when they met.

"Senior, don't be so agitated. Let's sit down and talk." Zi Chen's expression had returned to normal.

"If you have something to say, just say it," Shangguan Feixiong said coldly, but the slight smile on his face showed how proud he was.

"Shameless." The others were filled with disdain.

"Actually, marrying Yue 'er has always been my wish. Naturally, I'm very happy to do so. For Senior to be willing to marry Yue' er to me is something that I, Zi Chen, have cultivated over several lifetimes," said Zi Chen.

"You don't mean what you say. You were clearly hesitating a moment ago," Shangguan Feixiong said, ignoring the disdainful looks from the surrounding people.

"Misunderstanding. This is definitely a misunderstanding. Actually, I was a bit dizzy from the sudden happiness. I didn't react immediately." Zi Chen explained.

"So you're saying that you were so excited that you forgot yourself. It's not that you don't want to marry Yue 'er." Shangguan Feixiong looked at Zi Chen.

"That's right, that's right. I promise that I was just too excited. I didn't have any other thoughts." Zi Chen promised.

"Haha, Zi Chen, I knew that you were a good person. Yue 'er was right to choose you."

Shangguan Feixiong couldn't suppress the pride in his heart. He laughed out loud, but then he said, "But your promise is useless. You're not marrying me. Whether Yue 'er marries you or not is up to her. You have to ask her first. If she's not willing, then my Shangguan family will respect her decision."

"Yue 'er, are you willing to marry me?" Zi Chen helplessly looked at Yue' er and asked gently.

"Cough, cough. I don't think the script used to be like this." Shangguan Feixiong coughed lightly.

He was referring to the script used by the Wang family. It seemed that the Wang family had benefited a lot from it.

However, before he could point it out, Yue 'er was already embarrassed. She said softly, "I'm willing."

Although her voice was soft, everyone heard it clearly. Those who knew Shangguan Feixiong's plan were amused. Shangguan Feixiong was dumbfounded.

She agreed just like that.

But I haven't even asked for the betrothal gift.

Wasn't he agreeing a little too quickly?

Before Shangguan Feixiong could ask for the betrothal gift, the other Elixir Realm cultivators started clapping and praising the two of them. They were a match made in heaven.

Other than that, many people also congratulated Shangguan Feixiong. This made him swallow the words that he was about to say.

"Alright, let's talk about the Ancient Beast Realm."

After a simple agreement, the others started talking before they could discuss the details. It was time to get down to business.

"Alright, we'll talk about the betrothal gift later. Now, let's talk about the Ancient Beast Realm." Shangguan Feixiong finally mentioned the word 'betrothal gift'.

However, this time, before he could talk about the Ancient Beast Realm, someone spoke first. "Since Pavilion Master Zi Chen is here today, I also have something that I need your approval for."

The person who spoke was another overlord, the Wu family.

Behind the powerhouse from the Wu Family stood a tall and beautiful lady. Zi Chen had an impression of this lady. She was the winner of the Flight Competition when the Sky Barbarian Pavilion had opened 85 years ago.

The Wu family's expert stood up and looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen was confused. He didn't understand what the other party wanted to say and what he wanted him to do.

"Please speak." Zi Chen gestured with his hand.

"This is a direct descendant of the Wu family, Wu Yu. She's the most talented woman in the family. Pavilion Master Zi Chen should have an impression of her." The Wu family's expert pointed at Wu Yu.

Zi Chen nodded, then turned to look at Wu Yu, only to find that she had actually lowered her head, her face flushed red. She looked exactly the same as Shangguan Yue 'er earlier.

Zi Chen was confused and at a loss. Could it be that Wu Yu was also related to him?

"I remember that the champion of the competition was very strong and valiant. In the blink of an eye, more than thirty years have passed, and she has become more and more beautiful. I really don't dare to recognize her anymore," Zi Chen praised.

However, he was trying to say that they weren't close. They hadn't seen each other for 85 years.

The Wu Clan cultivator smiled and said, "Pavilion Lord Zi Chen, you really know how to joke. However, what I'm about to say next is Wu Yu's matter. I hope Pavilion Lord Zi Chen can make the decision."

"Make a decision? What decision?" Zi Chen was at a loss.

"I hope Pavilion Master Zi Chen can make the decision and betroth Wu Yu to Deputy Pavilion Master Wang Qiong."

Zi Chen was stunned by the Wu family's expert's words. The others were also surprised.

However, it didn't concern him. Zi Chen reacted quickly and said, "Our Deputy Pavilion Master Wang Qiong's parents are still alive. So are his ancestors. I don't think it's my turn to make the decision."

In fact, Zi Chen couldn't make the decision. At the same time, he couldn't figure out the other party's intention.

"I've discussed this with the Wang family. However, they all said that Wang Qiong is in the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion, so you should make the decision. I think that if the marriage is successful, it'll be considered an alliance between the Wu family and the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion," the Wu family's expert said.

"Although I'm the Pavilion Master, the marriage is very important. Moreover, I'm not the one getting married. It seems that you should ask the Deputy Pavilion Master for his opinion."

Zi Chen looked like he was in a difficult position. In fact, there was something he didn't say. Wang Qiong was his future brother-in-law. How could he make the decision for his brother-in-law's marriage?

The others were also confused. What was wrong with this overlord force? They were usually so arrogant. They didn't even agree when others proposed with betrothal gifts. Now that they met the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion, they actually took the initiative to send their women to them.

"This matter actually started 85 years ago when the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion opened. Back then, Wu Yu had feelings for Deputy Pavilion Master Wang Qiong for the first time. After returning, she couldn't forget Deputy Pavilion Master Wang Qiong. Over the years, she often went to the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion to see Deputy Pavilion Master Wang Qiong. In the past 85 years, the two of them met a few times. Wu Yu hasn't married because her heart is with Deputy Pavilion Master Wang Qiong," the Wu family's expert said.

After hearing the Wu family's expert's words, Zi Chen finally understood why Wang Qiong didn't reply to his voice transmission. It turned out that the two of them had been in contact over the years. It could be seen that in the past 85 years, Wang Qiong had other side businesses besides managing the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion.

"If you're not willing, I'll just reject you directly." Zi Chen sent another voice transmission. His voice was obviously teasing.

After a long while, Wang Qiong sent a voice transmission and said awkwardly, "Actually, there's nothing between us. We just met a few times and have a good impression of each other."

"So, according to you, all of you have agreed and I'm the only one who's still in the dark?"

This time, Zi Chen didn't have to wait for long. Wang Qiong sent a voice transmission, "Don't listen to the Wu family. Little Yu has been interested in me all these years, but the Wu family has been obstructing us and firmly opposed it. If you didn't suddenly come back, Little Yu might have already married someone else."

"You said nothing just now, but now you're calling her Little Yu. I feel disgusted on your behalf." Zi Chen teased.

The matter was clear. Both parties had feelings for each other. Zi Chen naturally couldn't do anything to break them up.

Moreover, the marriage between the two was equivalent to forming an alliance with the Wu family. This was also a necessary step for forces to take.

In the end, Zi Chen made the final decision. He said, "Since the Wu family is willing, the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion will naturally agree as well."

Then, Zi Chen smiled and said, "The Wu family can choose the date and betrothal gifts. However, you can't ask for the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion."

Everyone laughed. The marriage alliance with the Wu family was settled just like that.

The Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion had already formed an alliance with two overlord forces before the proper business was even discussed. This made everyone have some strange thoughts. However, from these two matters, it could be seen that the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion's rise was unstoppable.

Dan Yuan from the Wu family sat down. After that, no one else brought up the marriage alliance. Thus, Shangguan Feixiong stood up and started talking about the proper business.

"This time, we're gathered to discuss entering the Ancient Beast World," Shangguan Feixiong said.

Shangguan Feixiong said, "This time, our people went into the ancient beast world and found people from other regions."

"People from other regions."

"That's right. Although we haven't seen any Sky Martial Artists yet, we've seen demons from the wasteland."
