Chapter 436: Can you two get married soon?
"Holy Son Xiao, invincible in the Sword Dao, this old man admits defeat."
After the ten thousand sword lights fell, Great Sage Blackwater was in a sorry state, his eyes filled with astonishment as he said weakly.
"Senior, you flatter me."
Xiao Chen did not rub salt in the wound, nor did he refute the other's words.
The entire square was now so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
They had long heard of the reputation of the Two Holy Sons of the Wendao Academy, but only after seeing them today did they realize how terrifying these two were.
This could no longer be described with the word 'prodigy'. A Marquis or King defeating a Great Sage was something that had never occurred throughout the entire Xuan Continent.
Truly worthy of being the two Heaven's Pride who could suppress an entire generation.
With this level of strength, no one among their peers could fight them.
Becoming a Sage, no, becoming a God, was only a matter of time for them. Furthermore, they had the qualification to carry the Mandate of Heaven, and it would not be surprising for them to become an Immortal Emperor ten million years from now.
On the viewing platform, the Phoenix Family's Old Ancestor looked at the two young people in the sky and muttered, "I'm old, I'm old. This time, I truly have to admit I'm old."
After the two landed, they glanced around.
Cao Youqian slowly opened his mouth and said, "Who else?"
As soon as these words were spoken, no one dared to answer.
Even the Great Sages present did not have the courage to make a move; if they were to lose to these two youngsters, wouldn't they lose all face?
Everyone was a person of status, and none of them wanted to become a stepping stone for the younger generation.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
Seeing that no one on the scene had stepped forward, Cao Youqian muttered, "What a pity. I thought I would get to fight a few more matches, but it's over already."
The crowd of Great Sages: "..."
They truly had the urge to rush up and beat this guy up now, but years of self-restraint made them suppress this irritation, quietly watching the platform.
Xiao Chen, however, turned his gaze to the people of the Phoenix Family and said flatly, "Can the result be announced now?"
Hearing this, the Phoenix Family's Patriarch felt it was a bit strange, but he still stood up. He said in a loud voice, "Honored guests, is there anyone else who wishes to challenge the prodigies of the Wendao Academy? If not, then this old man will announce that my Phoenix Family's direct-line daughter will be betrothed to the Wendao Academy's prodigy, Ye Beixuan."
His response was a moment of silence, and the Phoenix Family's Patriarch then announced the final result.
"In this martial arts tournament for a bride, the final victor is the Wendao Academy's Ye Beixuan!!!"
As the words fell, the guests who came to witness the ceremony congratulated him in unison.
"Congratulations to the Phoenix Family for gaining a fine son-in-law."
The Phoenix Family's Patriarch said with a smile, "Thank you all. The Phoenix Family has already prepared a banquet. We invite all you Dao Friends to attend in a short while."
"Of course, of course."
Now that the matter was settled, everyone let go of their mutual hostility.
After all, the Phoenix Family's direct-line daughter had already found a husband. If they continued to be hostile toward each other, what difference was there from being fools?
Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian also flew back to the high platform.
Ye Beixuan was the first to step forward, cupping his hands and bowing as he said, "Thank you, two senior brothers, for your assistance."
"We are all family, there's no need for politeness."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Cao Youqian said spiritedly, "Junior Brother Ye, thanks to you this time, we had the opportunity to fight these Great Sages and become famous throughout the world once again."
Chu Feng said, "Alright, the matter here is concluded. Let's stay and play in Fire Phoenix Valley for a few days. As for whether you will return with me next or train on your own, this master will not interfere."
"Yes."
After everyone responded, they began to chat casually.
After a short while, the Phoenix Family's Patriarch led a group of high-ranking members of the Phoenix Family toward Chu Feng and the others.
"This humble old one pays respects to Great Sage Qiankun."
The Feng Family's Patriarch had a respectful look on his face.
Chu Feng said with a smile: "Dao Friend, there is no need for such courtesy. From now on, your Feng Family and I are relatives by marriage. If you encounter any trouble, you can have Beixuan tell me."
This sentence of his was undoubtedly showing support for Ye Beixuan.
The marriage of the two was not just their own affair, but a major event between two forces.
Hearing this, the Feng Family's Patriarch revealed a smile: "Naturally. We also invite Great Sage Qiankun to return with us to the Feng Family for a short stay."
"Alright."
Chu Feng did not put on airs.
Soon, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two great forces left the square.
Among the cultivators who came to participate in the martial arts tournament for a bride, only the Ninth Imperial Grandson of the South Sea Dragon Palace had a dejected look on his face.
He had originally thought he could marry the Feng Family's direct-line daughter this time, making her his future support.
He never expected a Ye Beixuan to appear out of nowhere and shatter his plans.
Great Sage Blackwater said with a look of guilt: "Ninth Prince, it is we who were incompetent and failed to lend you a hand. We ask for the Prince's punishment."
The Ninth Imperial Grandson waved his hand and said: "Two Ancestors, there is no need to blame yourselves. This matter has already exceeded our expectations. Let us return to the Dragon Palace."
"Yes."
Soon, the group of cultivators from the South Sea Dragon Palace left Fire Phoenix Valley.
No one would pay special attention to the losers, and the departure of the South Sea Dragon Palace cultivators did not affect any of the other cultivators.
As night fell, inside the Phoenix Cry Hall of Fire Phoenix Valley, the lights were bright and the place was bustling with noise.
The various forces who came to attend the martial arts tournament for a bride had all gathered here.
Chu Feng, with his three disciples, sat at the same table as several of the Feng Family's big shots.
After three rounds of drinks.
The Feng Family's Patriarch opened his mouth and said: "Sect Master Chu, since the marriage between Beixuan and Qiongyu has been arranged, shouldn't we choose an auspicious date for them to get married."
"Of course. I wonder if the Feng Family has any customs or rules?"
Chu Feng asked with a smile.
The Feng Family's Patriarch said: "Originally, our Feng Family wanted to recruit a live-in son-in-law this time. But Beixuan is too outstanding, and it would be shameless of our Feng Family to insist he be a live-in son-in-law. We just hope the two of them can get married within three months."
This sentence did not make Ye Beixuan feel excited, but rather exceptionally puzzled, and even a bit confused.
After all, based on his understanding of the Feng Family from two lifetimes, they should not be in such a hurry to marry off their daughter.
Chu Feng also sensed that something was fishy about this marriage. He took a sip of wine, slowly put down the cup in his hand, and asked probingly:
"Dao Friend Feng, is three months too rushed? Many things cannot be prepared in time. I am, after all, a top-tier expert on the Xuantian Continent. If the wedding is too simple, won't we become a laughingstock?"
The Feng Family's Patriarch also realized he had seemed too eager and quickly changed his tune: "Dao Friend, what you say makes sense. However, this old man still hopes they can complete the marriage within a year."
Chu Feng said with a smile: "But Beixuan will be comprehending the Great Dao Truth for the coming days. I'm afraid he won't be able to marry for three or five years. Can't Dao Friend postpone it for a little while?"
On a normal day, the people of the Feng Family would have been ecstatic to hear this, but at this moment, the expression on every one of their faces was exceptionally strange.
A conflicted look appeared on the Feng Family's Patriarch's face. He looked at Ye Beixuan with a pleading gaze and asked: "Beixuan, can't you just get married first?"
Ye Beixuan said: "It's not impossible, but shouldn't Senior tell me the reason?"
