"Are you sure that my mother won't recognize you?" Zhao Ziqin worriedly asked Zhang Fei, who was lying leisurely on her head in his little fox form. 'You don't need to worry about that because my cultivation is still too low, so she won't suspect that I can already turn into a human.' As he looked at the map, Zhang Fei answered her via telepathy, or else Huan Ning would be suspicious of him. 'Hmm? Huan Chong should be a member of the Huan Clan, and his cultivation was at the 3-Star Earth Realm. The other man is Xuan Yu, and his cultivation is at the 10-Star Soul Realm, so I am not the opponent of the three of them.' "All right." Before long, they had arrived at the main hall, and Zhao Ziqin immediately greeted Huan Chong. "Long time no see, Uncle." "Ha ha." Huan Chong laughed while rubbing his long beard. "I haven't seen you in quite some time, but you've matured considerably and are now even more beautiful." "Thank you, Uncle." Zhao Ziqin then sat down in the empty chair beside her mother, but she raised her eyebrows when she noticed Xuan Yu's lewd glance at her. 'Who is this man? Why did Uncle Chong bring him here?' Suddenly, Huan Ning asked Zhao Ziqin in a suspicious tone. "Where did you get that fox? Why have I never seen it before?" "Mother, this fox strayed into our clan a few days ago, and I really liked it, so I decided to keep it." Huan Ning actually became more suspicious after hearing that, but she didn't pay much attention to Zhang Fei, especially since his cultivation was still at the 5-Star Foundation Realm, and Zhao Ziqin spoke to her again. "You've been shutting yourself in your room for the past few days, so I haven't had the chance to tell you about it." "I see." Huan Ning nodded in understanding and informed her. "Your grandfather has already arranged your marriage with Xuan Yu, and you two will be getting married in a month, so he sent brother Chong here to introduce him to you." "Eh?" Zhao Ziqin was shocked to hear her mother's words, especially since she didn't know anything about Xuan Yu, and they had never discussed the matter before. Moreover, she had already chosen Zhang Fei to be her husband, but she still couldn't reveal their relationship to her. After hearing that, Zhang Fei also frowned, and he glanced at Xuan Yu with a sharp gaze. However, he chose to hold back first, especially since Huan Ning and Huan Chong could kill him easily, and Boitata was also not by his side. 'This bitch! It looks like the lesson I gave her a few days ago wasn't harsh enough, huh? In that case, I will teach you an even harsher lesson and make you despair.' Seeing his shocked expression, Huan Chong immediately explained it to Zhao Ziqin. "Xuan Yu is a good man, and his seniors in his sect recognize his talents in cultivation and alchemy, so you will be happy to be his wife. Moreover, his grandfather is an old friend of your grandfather, so they want the two of you to get married to strengthen the relationship between the two clans." 'Not on earth, nor in the Sky Jade Realm, many women are always used to increase their family's status.' Zhang Fei muttered inwardly as he searched for a way to thwart their plan to marry Zhao Ziqin to Xuan Yu, especially since no one could help him except Boitata, who was currently with Ye Lian. "But-" "No buts." Huan Ning interrupted Zhao Ziqin directly. "Your grandfather's decision is final, so you can't refuse it, and you will marry Xuan Yu in a month." After hearing that, Zhao Ziqin lowered her face and bit her lower lip, and her palms clenched into fists, but Zhang Fei immediately said something to calm her down. 'You have me, so you don't need to feel sad like this, and I will find a way to take you away from this clan.' 'Can you really take me away from this clan, Fei?' Zhao Ziqin asked expectantly, especially since she didn't want to be forced to marry a man she didn't know, but she was powerless to go against her grandfather's decision. 'One hundred percent!' Since he had no other solution, Zhang Fei thought of sending Zhao Ziqin to his portable mansion, and he intended to take her away to Earth. 'I have a place they will never be able to find, so you will be completely safe there, but I can't do that now, and we have to wait for the right time to leave.' 'All right, I believe in you, so you have to take me away from here as soon as possible.' "Niece Ziqin, how about you take Xuan Yu for a walk in this city?" Zhao Ziqin looked at Huan Chong with a complicated look because she was not used to walking around the city, let alone having to go with a man, which made her feel uncomfortable. [The pill is called Shenqi Pill, and it costs 100 green jewels.] '100 green jewels, huh?' Zhang Fei muttered with a heavy sigh, especially since he didn't have too many green jewels, so he didn't want to use them to buy that pill. Instead, he wanted to buy another pill, which was very expensive. 'Sigh, I'll look at the situation first, and if the opportunity arises, I'll use my demon pheromone on him.' Before long, they had arrived at the city, but Zhao Ziqin remained silent as she walked by Xuan Yu's side, and her expression looked uncomfortable being among so many people, but Zhang Fei kept talking to her to calm her down. On the other hand, Xuan Yu felt increasingly frustrated because Zhao Ziqin only said a word or two when he engaged her in conversation, and he had never met a woman so indifferent to him before, mainly because his Xuan Clan was quite big in the Central Region, so there are many women who try to approach him to get his attention. 'Sigh, it would be better if I contacted my grandfather and asked him to speed up our marriage, and I'll put her aside after I pluck her virgin yin qi, so I don't have to feel frustrated like this.' . . . Meanwhile, Yan Huan'er and Ye Lian were already at the Gu Clan, and a middle-aged woman who was none other than Xing Mei greeted them warmly. Gu Zhan, who was sitting next to his mother, kept staring at Ye Lian while occasionally licking his lips, making her feel disgusted by his behavior. "Why did you two suddenly come here, Sister Huan'er?" Xing Mei inquired curiously, as they usually arrived after delivering the news first. However, their sudden appearance caught her attention, especially Ye Lian's unusual expression. Before telling him, Yan Huan'er let out a soft sigh. "Sister Mei, I wanted to apologize to you before, but I came here to cancel Lian'er's engagement with Zhan'er. Moreover, my husband has also agreed to this matter, and he should have already spoken to Brother Tong, so you can confirm the matter to him." "What!?" Gu Zhan shouted as he stood up from his seat. "Why did you suddenly decide like this, Aunt Huan'er?" - To Be Continued - === My other novels 1. Cultivator With Modern AI 2. Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System 3.
