Ordinarily, even a hundred-year-old medicinal herb was extremely rare, but today Situ Yuntian produced a Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng, which turned out to be fake.
Yet now, three millennium magic medicines had appeared before their eyes, and their authentic medicinal fragrance indicated that these were indeed genuine millennium magic medicines; such a sight inevitably shocked everyone present.
Each of these millennium magic medicines was a rare treasure capable of saving lives. Now that three such herbs appeared all at once and were given away as congratulatory gifts, one couldn’t help but marvel at Qiao Yu’s generosity, which even astonished Gu Wenhao.
"These three items are Purple Jade Agate, Thousand-Year Ancient Jade, and Emperor Jadeite."
Qiao Yu pointed to the three other items and introduced them as exceptionally precious treasures and jade artifacts.
"The remaining two are a Qi Condensing Pill that can help one break through to the Qi Condensation Realm and a Soft Stomach Armor, impervious to blades and spears. These eight items are my gifts to Patriarch of the Gu Family for today’s celebration."
Qiao Yu introduced each gift one by one, causing another wave of shock among those gathered, as the value of these gifts was certainly on par with the Life-Extending Pill presented by Xiao Yifeng, and the quantity was even more impressive.
Being able to produce so many treasures all at once, Qiao Yu’s identity and background inevitably prompted speculation among the attendees, who were not very familiar with the Martial Arts World, hence they knew little.
"Kid, this fellow has ill intentions, not targeting this old man, but probably after someone’s granddaughter, it seems you’ve got another rival in love," Long Qian’s voice rang out again.
"Senior, I have no relationship with Miss Gu, ours is a pure friendship," Xiao Yifeng protested in his mind.
"Do you think I’m a fool?" Long Qian snorted and then fell silent.
"This..."
Gu Wenhao watched as Qiao Yu presented such lavish gifts and felt somewhat awkward, his gaze involuntarily turned toward Gu Qingcheng.
"Qiao Yu, I don’t know you that well, and you suddenly present these grand gifts. What do you mean by this?" Gu Qingcheng asked Qiao Yu.
"Qingcheng, these eight items are not only a congratulatory gift for Old Master Gu, they are also the betrothal gifts from Tian Sect to the Gu Family," Qiao Yu said with a smile.
"Betrothal gifts?"
Upon hearing Qiao Yu’s words, Gu Qingcheng’s expression changed, and the people around seemed to understand something. It turned out that Qiao Yu’s purpose for giving such lavish gifts was not for Patriarch of the Gu Family but his granddaughter.
"I, Qiao Yu, wish to take Gu Qingcheng as my wife!" Qiao Yu declared emphatically.
"Of course, Senior Jing Xuan, as Qingcheng’s master, I naturally have prepared a betrothal gift for you as well, which I will personally deliver to Tianyin Sect. At the same time, my father will also appear to discuss a marriage alliance between Tian Sect and Tianyin Sect," Qiao Yu stated, directing his gaze at Jing Xuan.
Jing Xuan’s eyes flickered, and she remained silent.
Gu Qingcheng’s expression changed slightly, her brows furrowed, and she looked displeased.
"Qiao Yu, although I know you, our relationship has not reached a point where we can discuss marriage. Moreover, I don’t have any affection for you. Thank you for your sentiments, but please take your gifts back and find another match," Gu Qingcheng firmly rejected him.
"Qingcheng, although you may not have much affection for me, I fell for you at first sight and have been infatuated with you for a long time. That’s why I chose this day to come and propose to you in person, bearing such generous gifts."
"All this expresses my sincerity. Moreover, you are the next successor of Tianyin Sect, and I am the Young Lord of Tian Sect, the future master of Tian Sect. Our families are a match made in heaven, like an ideal couple of deities."
"Moreover, our union would be of great benefit to both our Sects, so I hope Qingcheng that you won’t be too quick to refuse,"
Qiao Yu said to Gu Qingcheng.
"Qiao Yu, is this your idea, or your father’s?"
Jing Xuan asked, her gaze fixated on Qiao Yu.
"It’s my father’s idea, and of course, it’s my idea too. Tian Sect is very much in favor of this marriage alliance, and I believe that Senior Jing Xuan wouldn’t refuse either,"
Qiao Yu said indifferently.
At this moment, the birthday celebration of the Patriarch of the Gu Family had directly turned into a day where others proposed to his granddaughter.
"Kid, aren’t you going to make a move? Someone is stealing your woman right in front of you, and you’re not going to utter a word? Gu Qingcheng is not only a stunning beauty, but her constitution is also extraordinary. If you could marry her, it would be very helpful for you too. Are you really going to miss out on such a great opportunity?"
Long Qian continued to provoke.
"Senior, you make it sound so easy. He’s the Young Lord of Tian Sect, and those eight people behind him are all experts at the Initial Stage of Entering Saint Realm, his entourage consists of Enter the Sanctity realm level subordinates. How do you expect me to face him alone? If I were to provoke Tian Sect, wouldn’t I be signing my own death warrant?"
Xiao Yifeng muttered.
"When did you become such a coward? What’s so scary about Entering Saint Realm? And what about being the Young Sect Master of Tian Sect? Are you really scared?"
"As a Martial Artist, if you want to become a true Martial Arts Expert, you should fear nothing, not be bound or oppressed by anything, and act on your own instincts. That is the true essence of a Martial Arts Expert,"
Long Qian lectured.
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes sparkled with a cunning light.
"Qiao Yu, I am never going to marry you, so stop deluding yourself,"
Gu Qingcheng said with a resolute expression.
"No matter what, Qingcheng, I, Qiao Yu, am determined to marry you. That is something no one can change,"
Qiao Yu exuded a sharp, imperious aura, as if he stood above all, intimidating everyone around.
Gu Qingcheng’s complexion became somewhat unsightly as her eyes flickered. The whole Gu Family fell into silence, and nobody spoke a word.
Situ Yuntian’s eyes were fixated on Qiao Yu, his fists clenched. He was about to speak but was stopped by Situ Lie, who shook his head at him.
"How shameless can you get? She clearly doesn’t want to marry you, yet you insist. You really have the thickest skin,"
a sudden voice rang out, and Xiao Yifeng finally spoke.
Instantly, everyone’s gaze turned unanimously towards Xiao Yifeng.
Gu Qingcheng and Jing Xuan also looked at Xiao Yifeng.
"Who are you, boy?"
Qiao Yu glanced at Xiao Yifeng with a haughty demeanor.
"Who I am is not your concern. But today is the grand birthday of Old Master Gu. It’s hardly appropriate for you to force his granddaughter into marrying you,"
Xiao Yifeng said lightly.
"Since when is it your turn to intervene in my affairs, Qiao Yu? Who are you, and what right do you have to speak here?"
Qiao Yu retorted disdainfully, with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Whether I have the right is not for you to decide!"
Xiao Yifeng quipped, his lips curled into a half-smile.
