Super War God in the City-Chapter 459: Forgot the Important Matter!

Xiang Hou and Gu Liangji exchanged a palm strike, and upon hearing Mu Ji’s reminder, they saw the guy making a run for it. Without the mood to tangle further, Gu Liangji, after throwing a harsh phrase, also made his escape!

"Bastard, don’t think you can leave without leaving a mark!" Gu Liangji bellowed loudly as he immediately chased with his sword from behind.

Murong Zun also chased for a while. Although Xiang Hou and Mu Ji were not their match, if it came to running away, Murong Zun and his group could do nothing about it.

"Enough, let’s go back. Let’s not let these two stinky fish affect our mood!" Murong Zun stopped, and although he felt a bit stifled inside, he remained composed on the surface and comforted Gu Liangji with these words.

"Hmph, consider it lucky for those two bastards that they ran fast. Next time I catch them, they’ll pay!" Gu Liangji cursed resentfully, watching as the two figures disappeared from sight.

Xiang Hou and Mu Ji ran a long distance until they were sure that Murong Zun and Gu Liangji weren’t following them, then stopped on a small hill.

Mu Ji found a rock to sit under a large tree, his body aching all over, he grumbled resentfully, "Damn it, what on earth are those two families? That old man Murong Zun is a madman, and that girl related to him by blood is just unlucky to the extreme!"

"You’re telling me, a bit crazed. That old Murong Zun has a penchant for putting boys over girls. The Murong family is at the bottom in the Five Peaks. That old guy is just frantically ingratiating himself with the Gu Family, isn’t it because he fears the decline of the Murong family after a hundred years?" Xiang Hou snorted disdainfully.

"Sigh, but then again, according to the development of this world nowadays, the Martial Arts World will only continue to decline. The decline is just a matter of time, and it cannot be forced. Haven’t you noticed that the spiritual energy in the world has thinned over the past few years?" Mu Ji sighed.

"Yes, the age of declining martial arts, it’s the natural trend. There are rumors of the flourishing era of cultivating martial arts a thousand years ago, with no lack of Innate Great Powers.

Like the Gushe Fairy, living on air and dew, not needing grains, riding the clouds, controlling flying dragons, and roaming beyond the four seas, such Earthly Immortals, I’m afraid we’ll never see the likes of them again in this lifetime!" Xiang Hou also sighed, his thoughts drifting into the distance.

"Nowadays, the environment has been severely damaged, not to mention spiritual energy, it’s even difficult to breathe cleaner air. The skies over the Five Peaks aren’t as blue as they used to be!" Mu Ji muttered.

Xiang Hou’s train of thought returned sharply, and he suddenly slapped his forehead, "Right, I’ve been so caught up, I almost forgot about the main matter!"

Mu Ji also suddenly realized, having been clouded by anger that he even forgot Ling Fan’s task.

The two looked at each other, standing still and feeling a bit frustrated.

...

Meanwhile, at the Murong Family, Murong Bai had dismissed the gathered family youth and everyone returned to the main hall.

Gu Liangji sat silently in his seat. The events that had just transpired left him feeling as if he had swallowed a fly. If it weren’t for considering his sister Gu Jie’s feelings, he would have refused this marriage proposal!

Murong Zun also felt the awkwardness in the air and took the initiative to say, "Someone, take Yan’er to verify her virginity!"

Xiao Chubing took a deep breath. The escape of Xiang Hou and Mu Ji had disappointed her, indicating that those two were no match for Murong Zun and the Gu Family.

However, bringing up the virginity test again was still something she could not accept.

"I am not a slave, you forcibly arranging a marriage is one thing, but repeatedly humiliating my dignity, what do you think I am?" Xiao Chubing finally spoke up in resistance, recalling the earlier tests and feeling a wave of humiliation.

Murong Zun, seeing Xiao Chubing refusing to cooperate, his anger flared and he said coldly, "Do you think I was joking with you before?"

Xiao Chubing’s heart trembled. Murong Zun was indeed gripping her Achilles’ heel.

"Venerable Elder, perhaps, let’s leave it at that!" Gu Liangji, with a stern face, couldn’t help but speak up.

Gu Manjing’s face was full of coldness. If it weren’t for that wretch’s refusal to cooperate just now, the embarrassing scene earlier wouldn’t have happened, and today the Gu family’s face would not have been lost!

"A second-hand good, acting all high and mighty. If it weren’t for Murong Zun begging on his knees, you’d really think the Gu family would marry you, a worn-out shoe?" Gu Manjing sneered in her heart.

"Hmph, if you hadn’t entered the Gu family’s door today, it would have been just fine, but if you had, you would have suffered!"

Murong Zun saw Gu Liangji speak, and his face changed involuntarily. If the Gu family shook their head, unwilling to accept, he couldn’t be too forceful either, and he felt equally annoyed.

"Father, I think we can skip the verification of chastity. We should trust Grandfather Murong’s word!" Just as the atmosphere turned awkward, Gu Sheng spoke up.

This fellow looked at Xiao Chubing with eyes that grew increasingly fond, almost unbearably so. Whether she was still pristine no longer mattered to him—he was eager to proceed to the bridal chamber and display his myriad of martial skills!

Murong Zun hearing Gu Sheng speak, felt a sigh of relief internally. It seemed this fellow took a liking to her; that would make things much easier!

Gu Manjing glanced lightly at Gu Sheng. What sort of a character her brother was—was she not clear? Most likely, his soul had been hooked by that wretch Murong Yan, but indeed, this woman was quite beautiful, and even she felt a bit jealous.

Instantly, she thought, entering the Gu family’s door wouldn’t be so bad. Whether she was untouched or not no longer mattered. Today’s loss of face because of this wretch could only be slowly reclaimed after she was inside!

"Dad, since my brother agrees, let’s keep it simple. Since Grandfather Murong has already verified it, he would definitely not be biased in this matter!" Gu Manjing also spoke up to persuade.

Upon hearing his sister advocate for him, Gu Sheng immediately felt grateful—he genuinely favored this Murong Yan, at least until he tired of her!

Upon seeing this, Murong Zun immediately developed a liking for these two younger members of the Gu family.

"Patriarch Gu, you should be able to trust my character as Murong Zun!" Murong Zun also spoke lightly.

Gu Liangji, hearing everyone speak, heaved a deep inward sigh. Since Murong Yan was so resistant, there indeed was no need to fuss over this matter too much. After all, everything would come to light naturally once they entered the bridal chamber!

"Venerable Elder, since that’s the case, we’ll leave the bride price here, and we’ll take the bride with us. We shall arrange a wedding ceremony between our two families in three days!" Gu Liangji then said.

Murong Fei stood by with an ugly expression, saying nothing. How was this a wedding? It was simply a transaction, lacking even a decent ceremonial appearance!

The fact was indeed such; after the Gu family took her back, they only handled the preparations briefly. Murong family would later send a few representatives to show some presence, and it’s unlikely that even Murong Zun would attend!

Murong Zun quickly nodded, hoping they would hurry and take the bride away to prevent any delay that might cause them to rethink!

Gu Liangji spared no further courtesies. Immediately standing up, he said, "Since that’s the case, I won’t stay any longer. See you in three days!"

Following Gu Liangji’s move, two elderly women previously prepared to verify chastity immediately approached Xiao Chubing.

They gestured politely to Xiao Chubing, who turned pale upon seeing this. If she didn’t cooperate, they were prepared to use force.

Just then, another voice came from outside the hall, "Old Master Murong, Patriarch Gu, please come out for a moment. I departed in haste earlier and forgot the formal affair!"

The entire hall was taken aback, and Murong Zun and Gu Liangji looked at each other, recognizing the voice as Xiang Hou’s. Those two pests were back?

The two were momentarily stunned, then quickly came to their senses, their faces full of fury as they burst out of the hall!
