Chapter 324: Chapter 248 Getting Married_2

Yet Dong Yiren looked at him as if a mother-in-law were scrutinizing a future son-in-law,

which made Zhao Sheng even more bewildered.

Even if he was exceptionally talented and gifted, by convention, she shouldn’t be valuing him this much.

After Zhao Sheng left with a heart full of questions, only the Dong couple remained in the room.

“What do you think?” Dong Yiren suddenly asked.

Master Lu, who had said little during the conversation, stroked his smooth chin and thoughtfully said, “Not bad!”

Having been together for hundreds of years, the couple had long achieved a mutual understanding.

Upon hearing her husband’s comment, Dong Yiren’s opinion of Zhao Sheng improved significantly.

Not only did her husband possess astonishingly accurate judgement, but he was also very discerning and proud; for him to say “not bad” was an exceedingly rare compliment.

“But this man’s destiny shows only three colors; his future is worrying,” Dong Yiren expressed her concern.

“I have said that the Observing Destiny Technique cannot decide someone’s entire life. The future is unpredictable, and fate can be changed.

Moreover, do you really mean to question the Sword God Ancestor’s decision?”

At those words, Dong Yiren felt a chill and immediately shook her head.

“In a hundred years, the number of times our Ancestor has personally decreed something can be counted on one hand, including this one, only three times. The two previous times have affirmed his keen foresight. This time should be no exception. Zhao Qingyang will surely achieve greatness. It is fitting for Miaozhen to marry him, worthy of her title as the Heavenly Destiny Weaver.”

Lu Hao said with relief, “It’s good that you’ve come around!”

The number of Heavenly Destiny Weavers in the Dong family is scarce; typically, no more than five in a generation.

Generally, Weavers marry either Golden Core Masters or Nascent Soul Ancestors.

For Dong Miaozhen to marry Zhao Sheng would also be considered marrying below her station.

…

Having left Cloud Top Peak, Zhao Sheng did not return to Wutong Mountain.

His purpose for coming here had been achieved, so there was no need to continue competing with others.

The Cloud Phoenix Bird flew Zhao Sheng southward, passing over most of the Yunhuang Mountain Range, and eventually landed in Jinlan City.

Zhao Family’s branch residence

The nearly bald elder Zhao Jiu was startled when he suddenly saw his young master return to the secular world ahead of time.

He had thought that, with the one-month term unfinished, Zhao Sheng would come back empty-handed.

But when Zhao Sheng reported that he had met with the Dong Family Master and successfully delivered the visiting gifts, Zhao Jiu and the other Zhao Clan Members were incredibly excited.

In their eyes, since the Dong family had accepted the gifts, the matter was half successful.

“Young Master Qingyang, our top priority should be to quickly report back to the family, so that the Family Head and the Ancestors can decide,” suggested an excited Zhao Jiu.

“We’ll discuss this matter once we’re back. Now, pack your bags immediately; we’re returning to Xinglong Origin right away,” Zhao Sheng commanded decisively.

“Yes, Young Master, this old servant will notify the others at once,” Zhao Jiu, understanding the gravity of the situation, hastily agreed and turned to leave.

As the Zhao family prepared to leave, news of Zhao Sheng’s appearance in Jinlan City quickly stirred the local powers.

The Phoenix Meeting had gone on for half a month, enough time for the various forces to recognize the immense potential of Zhao Qingyang, who would surely become a formidable enemy.

Today, his sudden return to Jinlan City could mean one of two things.

One possibility was that he had failed and come back. But considering his outstanding performance at the Phoenix Meeting, this seemed highly unlikely.

The second was that he had already met with the Dong Family Master and even obtained his approval.

If the latter was true, this man… could not remain!

In an opulent estate in East City of Jinlan City, a disciple of the Vast Sect quietly inquired, “Senior Ancestor, should we take action?”

“Foolish, do you think that Sixth-Order Croc Dragon is that easy to deal with?”

“But according to the information we received, it’s likely that a true Weaver has participated in the Phoenix Meeting this time. At the moment, Dong Miaozhen is the prime suspect. Are we supposed to just watch as—”

“And what can we do if we don’t just watch? With the protection of that Croc Dragon, unless multiple Golden Core Masters join forces for an attack, a regular practitioner in the Late-stage Golden Core cannot do anything to it.”

“How about we contact the Ksitigarbha Sect, Purple Sun Sect, and other Sects?” the disciple tentatively asked.

“Humph, you don’t need to worry about your Senior Brother Jin’s matters. The idea of joining forces with other sects is something only you could come up with. Not to mention there’s no time, even if we had the opportunity, I cannot afford that loss. Get out!”

“Your disciple acknowledges his mistake, please forgive me, Senior Ancestor!”

…

Before long, Zhao Jiu and the others were ready to leave.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng wasted no time and immediately led his people out of the residence, towards the outskirts of the city.

A moment later, the gargantuan Croc Dragon slowly surfaced from a lake.

Zhao Sheng, Zhao Jiu, and the others quickly flew onto its back and entered the palace.

Boom!

The lake’s surface exploded with a roar, as vast amounts of water surged skyward, instantly transforming into a vast grey mist that spread over ten miles.

Suddenly

The Croc Dragon, carrying the mist, shot into the clouds and raced toward the distant horizon. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the view of all the watching spies.

…

Half a month later, Xinglong Zhao Family’s Ancestor Zhao Dingguang made his way to Yunhuang Mountain Range to proactively visit the Dong Family and was warmly received by the Dong Golden Cores.

In the following half-year, the contact between the Xinglong Zhao Family and the Weaver Dong Family grew notably frequent.

By then, the marriage of Dong Miaozhen into the Zhao Family was set in stone.

However, according to tradition, the process of proposing marriage, engagement, exchanging letters and gifts, and wedding must be done step by step.

The entire process would take at least a year.

The details in between are not worth mentioning.

For the Zhao Family, having a clan member marry a Dong Family Weaver was a joyous event that deserved to be grandly recorded.
