NOVPUB"King Zhending?"
Inside the hall, both Shao Yangzi and the young man were somewhat surprised.
Opposite them, a young man dressed in black with a dot of cinnabar between his eyebrows promptly furrowed his brows and said:
"Could Qin Huo’s sudden visit at this time be related to the setback previously encountered on the western front of the West Sea Country?"
Shao Yangzi also had a slight frown on his face:
"It shouldn’t be. Just the addition of another Immortal Ascension puppet shouldn’t be enough for the Qin Family to be so hasty. Perhaps, it might be related to the Truth Membrane Eye."
"Truth Membrane Eye?"
The young man in black looked serious: "That Membrane Eye is indeed different from ordinary ones, I fear it might be a big trouble... Could this affect the plan?"
However, Shao Yangzi did not respond immediately but instead turned to Xu Ying outside and said softly:
"Please invite King Zhending to join the sect, don’t neglect him."
"Yes."
Outside, Xu Ying’s respectful voice was promptly heard.
Perceiving Xu Ying’s departure-
The young man in black promptly got up and said:
"Sect Master, as you’ll be receiving King Zhending, I, Ren Xiao, shall take my leave."
However, Shao Yangzi shook his head:
"King Zhending is just a small matter. With the emergence of the Truth Membrane Eye at this moment, despite it being a significant issue, it’s also an opportunity. I need to trouble you, junior brother, to make a trip and gather all the present peak masters of the sect, as well as the members of the Three Halls, Four Mountains, and Five Divisions... "
The young man in black seemed to have realized something and his spirit brightened up:
"Ren Xiao understands."
Seeing the young man in black understood his intentions, Shao Yangzi nodded slightly.
"Go ahead."
"Yes."
The young man in black, Ren Xiao, hurriedly departed.
Leaving Shao Yangzi alone sitting in front of the incense burner.
As he gazed through the billowing incense smoke with a contemplative look:
"There will indeed be an impact… but… it may not necessarily be a bad thing."
"The Longevity Sect might have other intentions."
"However, as for the Qin family, they might also be of help."
...
"Brother Dengyuan wants to engage his lineal great-granddaughter to a disciple of my sect?"
Inside the palace.
Shao Yangzi looked somewhat bewildered at the bearded, elaborately robed Cultivator in front of him.
He had thought of countless reasons why the other party could be here, but he never expected such a trivial matter.
After all, marriages between the Wanxiang Sect and the Qin Family have not been uncommon through generations of good relations.
But King Zhending, Qin Huo appeared cheerful and said:
"Indeed. My great nephew’s daughter is a beloved child of the family head, haha. However, since the two young people are in love and your honorable sect has an excellent disciple, naturally, the family head also intended to facilitate their union. Therefore, he had specially ordered me to come and discuss this matter with you in advance, and he will also be here soon."
Although Shao Yangzi felt surprised and taken aback, considering the way Brother Qin Dengyuan conducts affairs, he did not find it strange.
However, a thought suddenly stirred in his heart.
He immediately showed a hint of a smile on his face:
"As they are in love, how could I separate them? I wonder which disciple is so lucky."
"Haha! According to my great niece, it’s the disciple of your honorable sect who had been stranded with her in the Eightfold Sea, yet managed to return safely."
Qin Huo exclaimed: "This could be regarded as true feelings revealed in adversity."
"Stranded in the Eightfold Sea?"
Shao Yangzi was startling, this experience, why did it sound so familiar?
He couldn’t help but ask: "May I ask how my great niece is called?"
"Haha, her pet name is Lingxiao."
Qin Huo laughed heartily.
Shao Yangzi was momentarily stunned: "Then, the disciple’s name would be..."
"Haha, it’s indeed Wang Ba, a disciple of your sect’s Wanfa Peak."
"Wang Ba?"
Various thoughts surged rapidly within Shao Yangzi’s mind.
Meanwhile, his face remained calm, only with a slight realization:
"Oh, it’s him… this may cause some problems."
Qin Huo was startled and asked doubtfully: "What kind of problem is Sect Master Shao referring to?"
Shao Yangzi said helplessly: "This Wang Ba is indeed the sole disciple of Wanfa Peak, and his master is currently resisting the Cultivators from the Three Continents in West Sea Country. When it comes to matters of marriage, even I, as the Sect Master, cannot overstep his authority."
Qin Huo frowned upon hearing this:
"Is it Yao Wudi? This indeed poses some problems."
He was currently at the forefront, as a Nascent Soul, facing off against an Immortal Ascension cultivator; anyone could foresee that Yao Wudi was planning to take this opportunity to ascend.
At this time, should they rashly disturb him over another matter, it would be equivalent to seeking enmity until death.
Qin Huo certainly did not want to cause an enmity instead
"However... if they are genuinely in love, it can be considered a further strengthening of relationships, and Invincible might not oppose it."
Sect Master Shao took a sudden turn in the discussion.
Hearing Shao Yangzi’s words, a smile of surprise and delight immediately surfaced on Qin Huo’s face:
"It seems Sect Master Shao also agrees to this marriage, that’s great."
"Haha, what I say doesn’t entirely count. It still depends on the children themselves. If they like each other, I naturally have to support it."
Sect Master Shao responded with a warm smile.
Getting a satisfactory reply, Qin Huo bubbled with enthusiasm and bid goodbye.
Shao Yangzi did not hold him back, clearly knowing that given Brother Qin Dengyuan’s characteristics, it wouldn’t be long before he arrived.
He got up and moved to the front of the palace.
As his Spiritual Sense swept over the lights flying in from below, the ideas in Shao Yangzi’s mind gradually settled.
In his rare free moments, the image of Wang Ba flashed through his mind, making him murmur:
"A disciple of Invincible, though he has made significant contributions previously, but was not yet rewarded. Now, this marriage with Qin’s daughter, should help him solve part of the resource needs for his Dharma Lineage Cultivation... However, this can’t be considered a reward, Jinyu will soon leave the ranks of personal disciples and the ninth personal disciple position will be empty..."
He immediately shook his head...
"There is still a lot missing."
"Alright, let’s see how it goes afterwards."
Soon enough.
The figure of the young man in black landed in front of him.
