"Grandpa … There's something I don't know if I should say …" Chen Yutian said after a moment of silence.
House Chen was on the brink of life and death. There were some words that Chen Yutian had to say. Otherwise, House Chen would be finished.
"What is it? Yutian, what else can't you say? "Grandpa Chen sighed.
"It's not impossible for House Chen to grow and advance further …" Chen Yutian said, "The key is if we dare to take the gamble!"
"What hope?" Grandpa Chen heard Chen Yutian's words as if he had found a life-saving straw. He was energized and asked quickly.
"Let Shu marry Lin Yi!" Chen Yutian said, "I can see that Shu likes Lin Yi and Lin Yi treats Shu well, at least better than … Lingshan … Although it's a bit unfair to Lingshan, she doesn't care how many girlfriends Lin Yi has. She's from a noble house, so it shouldn't be a problem."
"What?" Grandpa Chen froze, "Let Shu marry Lin Yi? That can't be done! "
"Why?" Chen Yutian froze and said hurriedly, "With Lin Yi joining our house, we can stand firm in the noble house meeting. Even House Yu can't do anything to us. Besides, Lin Yi can give Shu and even you to the early phase of mystic class. This way, House Chen can stand firm and there's no difference between having a cripple like me or not!"
"Yutian, you should know about Shu's engagement, right?" Old Man Chen sighed. "I know that your idea is a good one, but how would our Chen Family dare to break our agreement with an ancient sect?"
"I know a little about it, but … It's been so long, so many years, and there's no news. Is the engagement still valid?" Chen Yutian didn't expect his grandpa to be so resolute, "If that ancient sect really wants to marry Shu, it can't be that there's no news about it after so many years, right? Besides, Shu is already eighteen years old and no one has come to propose. It's most likely impossible. "
"Sigh! Who knows? The ancient sect's way of doing things isn't something normal houses like us can guess. Although there's no news for so many years, I'm afraid that if we break the engagement and marry Shu to someone else, we won't be able to handle the wrath of the ancient sect. If they really come for revenge, wouldn't we be harming Shu? "Grandpa Chen smiled bitterly," It's not that we can't do it, we just don't dare to! "
Chen Yutian was silent after listening to his grandpa's words. He didn't expect the ancient sect's marriage contract to be so restrictive. It was like a curse, he couldn't get rid of it no matter what!
"We can't contact them?" Chen Yutian asked.
"I can't contact them. Back then, they only left behind the marriage contract and left. All these years, they haven't come back again …" Grandpa Chen said helplessly. "What you said really can't be done. We can't take the risk."
"But Shu …" Chen Yutian thought of Shu and felt pity, "Shu might not like this engagement …"
"There are some things that we can't decide …" Grandpa Chen said.
"Alright … Grandpa, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you!" Yutian could only say that. "That's all.
"It's nothing. Rest well, let grandpa think about it … Think about the future of House Chen after this meeting …" Grandpa Chen didn't have the heart to scold Yutian anymore, so he comforted him.
"Okay, grandpa …" Chen Yutian was sleepy and wanted to sleep. After sleeping, he would forget all his troubles!
After Yu Feng returned to House Yu, the invitations were sent from House Yu to the other eight noble houses!
These eight noble houses were House Song, House Chen, House Sun, House Wu, House Liu, Xiao family, House An, and House Yang!
One of the purposes of this meeting was to resolve the conflicts between the noble houses, and the other was to rearrange the ranking of the four great houses and five small houses. Of course, there was a possibility that some house would be kicked out because they were too weak, and there was also a possibility that a stronger house would be supported and become one of the new noble houses!
The noble houses that received the invitations were happy, and some were sad.
Old Song was a little worried because of the marriage between Lingshan and Yu Feng, but he wasn't too worried. After all, House Song still had a Mystic late phase peak who was roaming the outside world! It was true that there was no news, but no one dared to underestimate House Song until there was news of her death. Plus, Lingshan had reached Mystic early phase- even without the marriage with House Yu, they wouldn't be kicked out of the noble house list!
House Sun, House Yang, and House An, on the other hand, were very calm. These noble houses didn't want to stand out, but they wouldn't be kicked out of the noble house either. It was the same every meeting, there was no suspense! As for the Xiao family, their worries disappeared after getting the support of the hidden House Pi! Among the noble houses, the one with the most confidence was the Xiao family! Even if two House Pi masters died, House Pi would send their own masters over. To the Xiao family, there was no loss at all!
House Liu seemed to have realized the danger of this meeting as well. In the study of the head of House Liu, Liu Zhenhu, stood the two brothers, Liu Tianyi and Liu Tianli. Behind Liu Zhenhu stood the little brain of House Liu, Liu Jinghan.
"The noble house meeting is about to start, what do you guys think?" Liu Zhenhu put the invitation on the table and raised his head. "Our House Liu, do we have any hope of staying in the noble house meeting? I heard that House Yu wants to make House Kang the new noble house? "
"From the looks of it, House Liu isn't in any danger. We've already become the exclusive distributor of the injury medicine and the pain killer that's about to hit the market. The resources and channels we have aren't something House Kang can compare to. House Liu shouldn't have any problems." Liu Tianyi said.
Zhenhu nodded. "Tianli, what do you think?"
