The Imperial City of the Tang of the East.
As the capital of the Tang of the East, the Imperial City was extremely large and bustling with people.
"I'm finally back."
Jian Wushuang stood in the middle of the street and breathed in the air, his mood extremely complicated.
More than 200 years ago, he and the four Three-clawed Blood Eagle Guards, Jiu Zui, Ling Long, and Shui Jin, had accepted the Hell Level task and ventured into the Star Star Fog Sea. More than 200 years later, he was the only one who had safely walked out of the Star Star Fog Sea.
"It's been more than 200 years. I wonder how the Icy Heart Poison in Leng Rushuang's body is." Jian Wushuang was a little worried.
But at this moment …
"Huh?" Jian Wushuang's expression suddenly changed. He had found that the atmosphere in the Imperial City was somewhat unusual.
On the streets of the Imperial City, teams of Royal Guards in golden armor were everywhere. At the same time, Jian Wushuang also perceived many obscure and tyrannical auras hidden in the dark.
"Why is the security so tight?" Jian Wushuang frowned slightly.
More than 200 years ago, he had also been to the Imperial City. At that time, although the Imperial City was also heavily guarded, it was far less than it was now.
Jian Wushuang also found that the number of experts in the Imperial City was far more than before.
"Did something happen?" Jian Wushuang was puzzled, but immediately took out a Message Token.
This Message Token belonged to Wang Yuan.
"Boss Wang Yuan, I'm back."
Jian Wushuang's message was very simple, and it only took a moment for a response to be received.
"Haha, Third Brother, you're finally back. In the past 200 years, I was so worried that I lost a lot of weight." Wang Yuan looked very happy.
"You're bragging. I think you're getting fatter and fatter." Jian Wushuang exchanged some pleasantries with Wang Yuan, then asked seriously, "Big Brother Wang Yuan, did something happen in the imperial city during this period of time?"
"You know?" Wang Yuan smiled faintly. "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that in three years, there will be a son-in-law selection ceremony here."
"Son-in-law Selection Assembly?" Jian Wushuang was startled and subconsciously murmured, "What Son-in-law Selection Assembly? For whom? "
"Of course it's for the Princess Leng Rushuang of the Tang of the East. Who else's Selection Ceremony would attract so many experts?" Wang Yuan said.
But when he heard this, Jian Wushuang's face suddenly sank.
Son-in-law selection ceremony?
Leng Rushuang's son-in-law selection ceremony?
He spared no effort and risked his life to go to the Star Fog Sea to find the Yin-Yang Dragon-phoenix Fruit that could suppress the poison for Leng Rushuang.
Only after a narrow escape did he manage to bring the Yin-Yang Dragon-phoenix Fruit back.
But Leng Rushuang was still in the mood to look for a son-in-law?
"Leng Rushuang …" Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes, but in the next moment, they relaxed. "No, with Leng Rushuang's character, even if she didn't have the Icy Heart Poison in her body, she would never hold a son-in-law selection ceremony. Moreover, she's poisoned and won't live for long."
"In that case, this Selection Ceremony must have been facilitated by Empress Leng."
Thinking of this, Jian Wushuang couldn't help but clench his fists. Then, he said, "Boss Wang Yuan, I'll go and find you now."
"Okay." Wang Yuan responded.
Soon, Jian Wushuang arrived at Wang Yuan's mansion.
As the chief alchemist of the Tang of the East's imperial family, Wang Yuan owned a huge mansion in the Imperial City.
The dark secret room was surrounded by a layer of restriction to prevent anyone from suddenly breaking in or eavesdropping on the conversation.
In the secret room, only Jian Wushuang and Wang Yuan sat together.
"Haha, Third Brother, I knew that the Star Star Fog Sea wouldn't be a problem for you."
Wang Yuan looked at Jian Wushuang with a hint of surprise. He had been very worried since Jian Wushuang entered the Star Star Fog Sea. Now that he saw Jian Wushuang appear in front of him alive, he was completely relieved.
"Boss Wang Yuan, tell me about the Selection Ceremony." Jian Wushuang didn't have time to joke.
"We both know about Leng Rushuang's situation. If I didn't get the Yin-Yang Dragon-phoenix Fruit in time and let you refine the Crape Myrtle Elixir, she wouldn't have lived for more than 300 years. Now that more than 200 years have passed, she can only live for another 100 years at most. Why hold the Selection Ceremony at this time?"
Jian Wushuang couldn't understand.
Leng Rushuang was about to die, but Emperor Leng still had the mood to hold the Selection Ceremony for her?
"Selection Ceremony? Haha … "Wang Yuan sneered." Third Brother, to put it bluntly, this Selection Ceremony is a marriage alliance between the Tang of the East and the Xia Clan! "
"Marriage alliance? The Tang of the East and the Xia Clan? "Jian Wushuang's face darkened.
Back on Cercis Island, Jian Wushuang had heard from Lin Wan'er that the Eldest Young Master of the Xia Clan had long been recognized as the Emperor's son-in-law of the Tang of the East.
However, that was only what others thought. After all, it hadn't really happened.
But now, this marriage alliance …
"Did Leng Rushuang agree?" Jian Wushuang asked in a deep voice.
This question was of great significance.
If Leng Rushuang agreed, then she was willing. No one could stop this marriage alliance, not even Jian Wushuang.
But if she didn't agree, then it was different.
"Agreed?" Wang Yuan smiled faintly. "If Leng Rushuang really agreed, then it wouldn't be a Selection Ceremony three years later, but a Marriage Alliance."
"But it's strange. According to the news I received in the imperial palace, when Emperor Leng first proposed a Marriage Alliance to Leng Rushuang, Leng Rushuang directly refused. But later, when Emperor Leng proposed a Selection Ceremony, Leng Rushuang didn't object."
"Third Brother, you should know that the Eldest Young Master of the Xia Clan has always been known as the number one genius in the Eternal World and the first Eternal Realm. He is indeed a God's favored one!" Wang Yuan said with a smile.
"In everyone's eyes, only he is worthy of Leng Rushuang. Who can compete with him in the Selection Ceremony?"
"So almost everyone thinks that there is no difference between the Selection Ceremony and the Marriage Alliance. Anyway, the final result is that Leng Rushuang will marry the Eldest Young Master of the Xia Clan."
"Of course, this result is that those people don't know about you. If you participate in the Selection Ceremony, then the result will be different."
Wang Yuan paused and looked at Jian Wushuang.
At this moment, Jian Wushuang's expression was very strange.
He heard Wang Yuan's words.
"She refused the marriage alliance, but didn't refuse the Selection Ceremony?"
"Why didn't she refuse?"
"Is she hoping that someone will be able to defeat the Eldest Master of the Xia Clan in the Selection Ceremony and then marry her?"
"Then who is the person she hopes for?"
"Will it be me?"
