Chapter 55: Marriage Proposal!
After Ye Chen returned to the Immortal Destiny Holy Land, he continued to sign in for cultivation in the Immortal Destiny Holy Land.
He cultivated in the Immortal Destiny Holy Land every day. After two days, Ye Chen received news that the Song Clan of Sunset Cloud City, who had been in Qingshan Town, had gone up the mountain.
Ye Chen did not care about the Song Clan at all. Although the Song Clan was a powerful clan of Sunset Cloud City, and it was said that they were related to the City Lord of Sunset Cloud City, this world was, after all, the world of cultivators. To cultivators, only strength was the way of the king.
If the Song Clan dared to plot against the Immortal Destiny Holy Land, they could just directly destroy it.
The Song Clan brought people up the mountain.
They arrived on the mountain.
Song Yuxing requested an audience with Sect Master Yuxiao, and then he wanted to meet that Invincible Grandmaster.
“Sect Master Yuxiao, we heard that the Immortal Destiny Holy Land has an Invincible Grandmaster. Can we invite that Grandmaster out to meet him?” A young genius from the fallen Snow Eagle Sect asked.
At this moment, Sect Master Yuxiao smiled and said, “My Martial Master is a reclusive expert. He comes and goes without a trace. To tell you the truth, even I haven’t seen Martial Master’s true face. Therefore, I’m afraid this matter will be a little difficult.”
Hearing this, Song Yuxing was somewhat disappointed.
Then, he waved his hand.
Immediately, the guards under him carried large chests and came before Sect Master Yuxiao. They said to him, “Sect Master Yuxiao, these are the gifts that this junior gives to that Grandmaster. Can you pass them to that Grandmaster on my behalf?”
“And these are some incense money that I have prepared for the Immortal Destiny Holy Land. Please accept them, Sect Master!”
Sect Master Yuxiao did not refuse, he accepted the gifts.
At this moment, Song Yuxing said, “Sect Master, actually, I have something to discuss!”
“Feel free to say it!” Sect Master Yuxiao smiled.
Song Yuxing bowed to Sect Master Yuxiao and said, “I have seen the beautiful appearance of your Immortal Destiny Holy Land disciple Xu Qiuya in Sunset Cloud City. I fell in love with her at first sight. So, I came here to propose marriage!”
Sect Master Yuxiao was a little surprised when he heard this.
However, he immediately understood.
The reason why the Song Clan came to propose marriage and was on good terms with the Immortal Destiny Holy Land was that a Deva Realm powerhouse had appeared in the Immortal Destiny Holy Land.
It was because his Martial Master had already reached the Deva Realm that the Song Clan came to curry favor with the Immortal Destiny Holy Land.
Otherwise, the Song Clan had not had any contact with the Immortal Destiny Holy Land for a hundred years, so why would they come to propose marriage?
Moreover, the Song Clan was also a big family in Sunset Cloud City. Their strength was unfathomable. It was said that there were also Deva Realm experts in the Song Clan.
Sect Master Yuxiao smiled and said, “Although Xu Qiuya is a disciple of our Immortal Destiny Holy Land, this matter must be approved by her master and herself.”
Song Yuxing nodded and said, “This junior understands. This junior will go to the Immortal Jade Peak to visit Holy Mother Immortal Jade!”
…
Immortal Jade Peak.
Immortal Jade Palace.
Song Yuxing brought a group of people to the Immortal Jade Palace.
Song Yuxing bowed to Holy Mother Immortal Jade and said, “This junior, Song Yuxing of the Song Clan, pays his respects to Holy Mother Immortal Jade!”
Holy Mother Immortal Jade sized up Song Yuxing. When she looked again, she saw that the two experts behind Song Yuxing were both Mahayana Realm experts.
The Song Clan was a noble family in Sunset Cloud City. Their Immortal Destiny Holy Land was only a small sect. It was definitely not as powerful as the Song Clan.
After arriving here… Song Yuxing directly went straight to the point. “Junior has a request to make when I come to the Immortal Destiny Holy Land. Junior once saw the grace of your eldest disciple, Xu Qiuya, in Sunset Cloud City. Junior fell in love with Miss Xu at first sight. Junior came here today to propose marriage. I wish to become Dao Companions with your disciple, Xu Qiuya.”
As the sound of his voice faded, everyone was shocked.
Holy Mother Immortal Jade looked at Song Yuxing and said calmly, “This matter is Ya’er’s private matter. If Ya’er agrees, I’ll agree.”
At this moment, a dignified woman in red slowly walked into the Immortal Jade Palace.
She gave Holy Mother Immortal Jade a reasonable bow, then, she turned around and bowed slightly to Song Yuxing and the others. “I appreciate Young Master Song’s good intentions, but I have my heart set on the Dao. I don’t want to be greedy for worldly affairs, so Young Master Song, please leave!”
Song Yuxing was a little surprised. He did not expect Xu Qiuya to reject him in such a hurry.
The Song Clan’s ancestor was also in the Deva Realm. With the Song Clan’s strength, they were definitely stronger than the Immortal Destiny Holy Land. Xu Qiuya was not appreciating his kindness by rejecting him so easily.
At this time, Song Yuxing smiled and said, “I know Miss Xu is outstanding, and I am not good enough for you. But I am sincere to Miss Xu. Can you give me a chance?”
Xu Qiuya put on a fake smile and directly rejected, “Young Master Song, please forgive me. I’m not willing.”
However, Song Yuxing did not leave.
At this moment, he clapped his hands.
An old man immediately handed over a beautiful box and said, “Holy Mother Immortal Jade, please take a look at this!”
An old man handed the box over to Holy Mother Immortal Jade.
Holy Mother Immortal Jade opened the box and saw a marriage contract inside.
At this time… Song Yuxing smiled and continued, “Back then, my Song Clan and the Xu Clan were on good terms. Qiuya and I were once arranged to get married. After the Xu Clan was wiped out, I began to search for Qiuya’s whereabouts. In the end, I finally found out that Qiuya was in the Immortal Destiny Holy Land. Marriage is the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker. Since Qiuya’s parents agreed to this marriage back then, why didn’t Holy Mother agree to it?”
Before Xu Qiuya entered the sect, she was a member of the Xu Clan of the Sunset Cloud City.
However, Xu Qiuya’s fate was very difficult.
When Xu Qiuya was very young, her entire family was exterminated. Only Xu Qiuya was lucky enough to survive.
At that time, Xu Qiuya was still a baby.
At that time, Holy Mother Immortal Jade traveled to Sunset Cloud City and found Xu Qiuya. Then, she brought Xu Qiuya to the Immortal Destiny Holy Land.
When Xu Qiuya was out training, she went to investigate some of the tragic cases of the destruction of her Xu Clan. She found that this matter was complicated and involved many of the aristocratic families in Sunset Cloud City.
When Xu Qiuya saw Song Yuxing take out the marriage contract, she was shocked.
She did not expect that the Song Clan and the Xu Clan had such a relationship back then. However, it was already a marriage of convenience. Why would the Song Clan watch the destruction of the Xu Clan?
It seemed that the destruction of the Xu Clan had something to do with the Song Clan.
Xu Qiuya was only an infant at that time. Moreover, this matter had already happened more than twenty years ago. Therefore, it was very difficult for Xu Qiuya to fully investigate it.
At this moment, Song Yuxing continued, “Since my parents and Qiuya’s parents have agreed to this marriage, does the Holy Mother still not agree?”
After Holy Mother Immortal Jade read the marriage contract, she placed it back into the box, she calmly said, “As the saying goes, a teacher for one day is a father for life. Qiuya’s parents are no longer around. Right now, I am Qiuya’s guardian. This marriage contract was signed by her parents back then, but now that they are no longer around, I have the right to decide on Qiuya’s marriage.
“Since Ya’er doesn’t like it, I will not agree to this marriage no matter what!”
