Chapter 1573: The Sudden Engagement

he saw hope, he absolutely couldn't give up.Although it was excruciating, he gritted his teeth and managed to say those words."Well then, Mr. Ye, thank you for your hard work."(Continued on next page..."What... what kind of betrothal"

Si Tu Changkong asked, bewildered.

"Brother Situ, how could you forget something so important" Huo Dongping said with displeasure, "It's just Mo Dian and our Jian Er. Ten years ago, we made a betrothal agreement for them."

But our family's Aoki Sword Technique is considered half a child's kung fu. It cannot break the body before reaching the Saint Rank.

So for all these years, I haven't mentioned it again, but the engagement is still valid.

Now Xiaojian has successfully broken through the threshold of the Saint level, and is now a true martial saint-level powerhouse. Naturally, he will no longer be restricted and can get married.

"This…"

Master Situ Changkong swallowed hard, his voice dry. "Elder brother, weren't you just joking back then Why are you taking it seriously now"

At this moment, he remembered what Huo Dongping had said about the betrothal. In reality, it was just a joke. Back then, Huo Dongping was drunk and saw Si Tu Dian Mo's delicate and handsome appearance. He jokingly said that he would betroth him to his grandson, Huo Jian.

However, there is a prerequisite, as I just said, you must have achieved some proficiency in the Huo Jian Qing Mu Sword Manual and stepped over the threshold of becoming a martial saint.

At that time, Situ Changkong had also drunk some wine and didn't take the other party's words to heart at all. After all, in his view, whether he could enter the realm of Martial Saint was something illusory and unpredictable. Many people couldn't cross this threshold throughout their lives.

Could it be that Huo Jian could never advance to become a Martial Saint Would his granddaughter have to wait forever That would be like being widowed while still alive, utterly impossible.

This matter later passed, Huo Dongping didn't mention it again, and Situ Changkong also forgot about it completely. Today when the other party brought it up, he only vaguely remembered it.

Ho Dongping said solemnly, "How could it be a joke I'm serious."

"No, dude, I thought you were just joking back then, and all these years later you haven't brought it up again…"

"Si Tu Changkong was about to finish his sentence when Huo Dongping waved his hand to interrupt him. 'Whether you remember or not doesn't matter, I've already inquired. Your family Di Mo is not currently married.' "

They were a perfect match, made for each other. Even without the previous engagement, they would be ideal for one another now.

In fact, Huo Dongping didn't just randomly bring up this marriage proposal; he was actually making a joke back then.

He didn't expect that his grandson had recently made rapid progress in cultivation, reaching the level of a Martial Saint at only twenty-something years old. This suddenly reminded him of the previous marriage contract. However, he didn't act rashly. First, he sent someone out to inquire about Situ Dianmo's situation and even secretly got a photo of him.

Seeing that the other party was indeed graceful and beautiful, Huo Jian was very satisfied. He then brought up old matters.

If Si Tu Dian Mo were to be described as fat, ugly, and coarse, then the previous engagement would have been a joke and would never be mentioned again.

Sītú Chángkōng naturally didn't know about these things. He gave ndào Quán a helpless look.

The conflict with Yunxia Mountain before this, was because Feng Xiaokang had his eye on Situ Dianmo. The situation there hadn't completely calmed down yet, and they were originally here in Tiangong to seek aid, but then another engagement came up, leaving him in a terrible predicament.

If Ye Bufan wasn't around, he could have readily agreed without hesitation. But now that his granddaughter has someone she loves, this betrothal is impossible to accept.

Ando Quan shook his head slightly, indicating that he couldn't help with this kind of thing.

Si Tu Changkong had no choice but to grit his teeth and bear it, swallowing hard and saying with difficulty: "That elder brother, this really doesn't work..."

"Master Situ Changkong, what do you mean Don't you think my grandson is worthy of your granddaughter"

Ho Dongping's face turned completely cold, "Our Ho family came from the Aoki Sword Sect, the sect leader of the Sword Sect."

My grandson, Xiaojian, is even more extraordinary. He's a prodigy in martial arts, handsome and talented beyond compare. A once-in-a-century genius! Could this marriage agreement possibly be a hardship for your family

"This... brother, I didn't mean that. Xiaojian is truly excellent, it's just that I haven't told Dianmo about this. That girl already has a boyfriend..."

"Isn't it just that she got a boyfriend It's not like they're getting married. What's the big deal!"

Hu Dongping waved his hand dismissively. "Little girls are immature and easily deceived by sweet words. That's normal."

But when she sees the excellence of our little Jian, she naturally won't look at that man anymore. You don't have to worry about this, just let Jian handle it himself.

"Yes, Grandpa Situ, as long as you agree, I'm sure I can make Di Mo like me."

Huo Jian patted his chest, looking confident and self-assured.

In his view, he was a man of noble birth and a Martial Saint-level powerhouse. He had both good looks and abilities, so how could he be compared to an ordinary man in the world

As long as Si Tu Dian Mo sees me, she will naturally leave that man. It's a foregone conclusion, there is no doubt about it.

"I… big brother…"

Sipu Zhangkong originally wanted to say something more, but Huo Dongping directly waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Well, Sirtu, that settles it. As long as you have no objections, just let the child handle this themselves."

Ho Dongping was equally confident. His grandson was the youngest martial saint in the entire Heavenly Palace. As long as Situ Dianmo wasn't blind, he would naturally like Huo Jian.

Even if we take a step back and assume the other party is stubborn and refuses to see reason, even if they were to directly kill that boy with a single sword strike, it wouldn't be any different from killing an ant. After all, a mere mortal dying is nothing significant.

In this world, as long as absolute power is in your hands, there's nothing that can't be solved.

Then he asked, "By the way, what brings the two of you to heaven"

Master Situ Changkong sighed, it seems the matter of the betrothal could only be thought about later. He should focus on resolving the current crisis first.

"So, brother, we have something to report..."

Si Tu Changkong recounted the entire affair of Yunxia Mountain's entrance into the world, from beginning to end. This included how they came to Xuanyuan Pavilion to propose marriage, how they forcefully abducted Si Tu Dianmo, and how they were interrupted by Ye Bufan and had their legs broken.

"Finally, he said: 'Yunxia Mountain was originally a hidden sect, but it broke the rules by entering the world and colluding with outsiders. It acted arrogantly and did whatever it pleased. We came here to ask the Palace Master to come out of the mountains and uphold justice.'"

"Mount Yunxia Such audacity to disobey the rules set by the Heavenly Palace."

After hearing this news, Huo Dongping's expression instantly turned gloomy.

Seeing his attitude, An Daoquan and the other two immediately rejoiced in their hearts: "That's right, please, Palace Master, come out of seclusion and punish Yunxia Mountain."

"This doesn't seem to work," Huo Dongping shook his head. "The palace master is in seclusion, breaking through at a critical juncture. We can't disturb him at this time."

If we cannot stop Yúnxiashān from acting recklessly, I fear that other hidden sects will follow suit. Then wouldn't the entire China be in chaos

So he even changed his address from "Lao Ge" to "Palace Master," hinting that this was no longer a personal matter, but a major event concerning the entire Chinese martial arts world.

Huo Dongping pondered for a moment, without answering his question, and instead asked, "By the way, you just said who injured Yunxiashan's junior master"success would be blocked."Who did this"Du Bin paced back and forth in the room, going over the information he had gathered these past few days from beginning to end.The one who originally had the moti...
