The resignation of the Taixuan Shengzong Patriarch and the temporary appointment of the Third Elder as the Acting Patriarch caused a huge uproar in the Pugilistic World.
As a top sect, internal affairs, especially the change of the Patriarch's position, were of the utmost importance!
Of course, many martial artists also knew that the resignation of the Patriarch definitely had something to do with Jun Changxiao. Hence, they all lamented, "This is directly causing the leader of a top sect to step down!"
"Who asked Lu Qianqian to be the first disciple of the Sect of All Times?"
"Jun Changxiao has always been protective of his disciples, and his disciple's cultivation was once crippled. The Taixuan Shengzong can only admit that it's bad luck."
"I'm afraid this matter won't end just like that, right?"
Many people were discussing how the newly appointed Acting Patriarch would face the Sect of All Times. Would he choose to bear with it or fight it head-on? After all, the sect was destroyed by that guy!
Just as everyone was waiting for the follow-up, an explosive piece of news came. That was, Jun Changxiao would soon bring the betrothal gifts to the Taixuan Shengzong to propose marriage!
When the various martial artists received the news, they were all dumbfounded.
He had just destroyed the sect's face and now he was going to propose marriage? What kind of play was Jun Chang Xiao putting on?
Of course.
As the party involved.
The higher-ups of the Taixuan Shengzong were also discussing this matter.
"Everyone."
Yu Linyun, who had just taken over as the Acting Patriarch, sat at the head of the table and said with a frown, "Soon, the Patriarch of the Sect of All Times will personally bring his disciple to propose marriage. What do you think?"
"…"
A hint of anger flashed in the eyes of the elders.
How could he have the face to propose marriage after causing such a huge ruckus in their own sect?
Or did he really think that the Taixuan Shengzong was a soft persimmon that could be bullied at will?
"Patriarch!"
Elder Sun said, "Although the Sect of All Times has a grudge with us, it was all built on Elder Qu and Fang Lingyu. Now that he has crippled their cultivation, the grudge has been settled. Why don't we befriend them?"
"Not bad."
Another elder standing at the side agreed.
In this world, who didn't know the strength of the Sect of All Times? Especially when they were attacking a sect, they could mobilize hundreds of thousands of beasts. It was enough to shake the heavens and earth. If they chose to go against them, their heads would definitely be kicked by a donkey.
In the face of absolute power, even the top sects had to admit defeat.
Elder Sun said, "Vice Patriarch Xia, Jun Changxiao is here to propose marriage to your granddaughter on behalf of Su Xiaomu. As the person involved, you should express your opinion."
Everyone looked at Xia Tieyi, who had just been promoted from Elder to Vice Patriarch, and waited for him to make a decision.
"Elder Xia."
Yu Linyun said solemnly, "You have to think carefully!"
To be honest, he didn't want to be on bad terms with the Sect of All Times. Now that Jun Changxiao announced that he was here to propose marriage, it was undoubtedly a message that he wanted to befriend them. If he rejected it, there would be more trouble.
Sensing that everyone was looking at him, Xia Tieyi resisted the pressure and said, "I still say the same thing. Shui Yun's marriage will be decided by her."
"…"
Yu Linyun shook his head and said, "That girl isn't in the sect. How can we let her make the decision?"
"Report!"
A disciple came and said, "Sister Xia is back!"
"Good, good!" Yu Linyun hurriedly said, "Quick! Quick! Let her come to the main hall quickly! "
"Yes!"
…
After a while, Xia Shuiyun entered the main hall.
Before the Patriarch and grandfather could say anything, she knelt on the ground and said, "Patriarch, I agree to this marriage."
Yu Linyun immediately let out a long breath.
As long as the person involved agreed, it meant that they could be on good terms with the Sect of All Times.
In fact, if Xia Shuiyun didn't agree, the higher-ups of the Taixuan Shengzong would have counseled her after weighing the pros and cons. After all, the sect's interests were greater than anything else.
"Shui Yun."
Xia Tieyi said in a deep voice, "Did that kid force you to agree?"
Others wouldn't care about sacrificing the happiness of a female disciple in exchange for the sect's interests, but as her closest relative, he couldn't tolerate his granddaughter giving in under certain means.
"Grandfather."
Xia Shuiyun said, "You should know my granddaughter's personality. If she's not willing, no one can force her."
Xia Tieyi fell into a short silence and sighed, "Since it's your choice, I won't stop you."
"Then it's decided."
Yu Linyun said, "The Taixuan Shengzong agrees to this marriage!"
…
Three days later.
Jun Changxiao, dressed in white, came to the Taixuan Shengzong again.
Accompanying him was Su Xiaomo, the protagonist of this marriage proposal, as well as Jiang Ya, Ding Xingwang, Ge Qingming, and other elders of the Sect of All Times.
Yu Linyun gave him the best treatment.
The grudge between the two sects was formed when the former Patriarch was in charge.
Now that he was in charge, the grudge wouldn't continue. Instead, he would try his best to improve it, from hostility to friendship.
"Vice Patriarch Xia."
After entering the main hall, Jun Changxiao took out ten heavy boxes and went straight to the point, "The betrothal gift I brought is a hundred thousand Six-pointed Star Stones. Please don't laugh at it."
Su Xiaomo was stunned.
The Patriarch actually used the Nine Heavens Continent's Spirit Stones as a betrothal gift for his marriage, and a hundred thousand of them at that. This was simply …
No, no.
He was so moved that he was about to cry!
"Six-pointed Star Stones?"
Yu Linyun and the other elders looked at each other. Obviously, they hadn't heard of this ore before.
Jun Changxiao explained, "This item is a martial resource from the Nine Heavens Continent, the first tier of the Dimensional Battlefield. The spiritual energy it contains is equivalent to ten of our Falling Star Continent's Spirit Stones."
"What?!"
Yu Linyun and the others opened their eyes wide!
One stone was equivalent to ten, and a hundred thousand stones was equivalent to one million stones!
Big deal!
Absolutely big deal!
Xia Tieyi's mouth twitched slightly.
According to the customs of the Falling Star Continent, even if a noble family proposed marriage, the betrothal gift would only be a few hundred thousand silvers. The rich ones would use gold instead. This kind of martial resource as a betrothal gift was equivalent to one million Spirit Stones. It was simply inhumane!
"Of course."
Jun Changxiao said again, "This is just a part of it."
"Shua!"
"Shua!"
A few pieces of space landed in front of Xia Tieyi's table and said, "There are various ores and herbs inside, worth a total of ten million silvers. Vice Patriarch Xia, please agree to the marriage between my disciple and your granddaughter."
Since everyone was a martial artist, the betrothal gift had to be based on martial arts. Gold, silver, and other valuables were simply too low!
"Patriarch …" Su Xiaomo was really moved to tears.
If he didn't join the Sect of All Times in this life, he would probably have to sell everything in order to gather enough betrothal gifts.
Yu Linyun cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Jun Patriarch, you're really generous!"
Jun Changxiao said, "If Vice Patriarch Xia has no objections, let's discuss a specific time for the engagement."
According to the customs of the Falling Star Continent, a marriage proposal didn't mean that they would get married immediately. They needed to hold an engagement ceremony first.
"Alright."
Xia Tieyi said.
Since his granddaughter agreed, he naturally wouldn't object.
Thus, both sides discussed the engagement ceremony for half an hour. In the end, they decided to hold the engagement ceremony on the sixth of next month at the Sect of All Times.
However …
After everything was discussed, Jun Changxiao was about to leave.
Xia Shuiyun walked out from behind the scenes, and said: "Jun Patriarch, I have a request!"
"What request?"
"Su Xiaomo and I still have to put our minds on martial arts cultivation. After the engagement, please don't arrange the marriage too early."
Jun Changxiao laughed: "You two can decide on the matter of marriage yourself. I am only responsible for preparing the wedding and waiting for the wedding banquet."
"Thank you." Xia Shuiyun said.
Su Xiaomo was speechless.
But if they were to get married early, what was the point of getting engaged!
… ….
On the same day.
The Sect of All Times's intelligence agency began to operate.
All the fifth-rate sects and above, as well as the prestigious families, received the engagement invitation one after another.
"It can't be?"
After a Patriarch received it, he said in shock: "It's just a disciple's engagement ceremony, and the invitation was sent to my Southeast Shi Province? Isn't this a little too grand? "
The wedding was the most important event in life. The engagement ceremony was nothing more than a banquet for relatives and friends. The Sect of All Times sending out engagement invitations all over the world was simply too high-profile!
Jun Chang Xiao was thinking the same thing.
Su Xiaomo set the precedent for the Sect of All Times' disciples to get engaged. It had to be grand and beautiful!
"Patriarch."
One of the higher-ups asked: "Are you going?"
"Yes!"
The Patriarch said: "The Sect of All Times sent out an invitation. Who in this world dares to not go?"
Thus, many families and sects began to prepare.
Jun Changxiao found Li Qingyang and said: "According to the customs of the Falling Star Continent, how much money should the people who participate in the engagement ceremony bring?"
The System roared: "What grand and beautiful? This is the reason for sending out the invitations!"
