Now that all the other guests had been sent out, Zhao Guang thought for a moment and stretched out his right hand. "Please!"
After leaving a few people to guard the door, Zhao Guang, the elders, and 20 important figures of West Ocean walked up to the conference hall on the third floor.
Zhao Hongyu took Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi up with them.
When they entered the conference hall, they didn't enter the long conference table. Instead, they sat in the living room. Oldman Zeng and Zhao Guang sat in two armchairs in the center, and the others sat on either side of them.
Zhao Guang sat on the east side, and Oldman Zeng sat on the west side, separated only by a mahogany tea table. Zhao Kuo was next to Zhao Guang, followed by Zhao Hongyu, Zhao Yanzi, and Hao Ren. As for the elders of East Ocean, they were all standing.
On Oldman Zeng's side, his grandson, Zeng Yitao, was sitting next to him. The other elders who came with him were also standing.
Although they weren't in a conference room with a long table, the two groups of people stood separately, giving off the same feeling of confrontation.
"What do you want to discuss with me, Elder Zeng?" Zhao Guang sat down, picked up a cup of Tie Guanyin, and said steadily.
"Let's get straight to the point, Dragon King Zhao. You know that West Ocean is going to propose on Zhao Yanzi's 15th birthday. What are your intentions?" Oldman Zeng didn't even touch the teacup in front of him. Instead, he stared at Zhao Guang and questioned him.
"Oh? I don't think I'm too sure about that. "Zhao Guang continued tasting his tea and replied calmly.
"Humph! Don't play dumb with me! Two years ago, we, West Ocean, had informed East Ocean that we wanted to marry Zhao Yanzi in a grand manner. We would wait until she was 15 years old before we got engaged! We'll get married at 18! "Oldman Zeng clenched his fists and said.
"Damned old man, do you think I'll marry her just because you say so? When did our Zi agree to be your West Ocean's daughter-in-law? "Zhao Kuo couldn't help but yell.
Bang!
Oldman Zeng slammed his palm on the mahogany tea table in the middle, leaving a deep palm print!
"What is the meaning of your Donghai setting up a private engagement!?" he shouted.
Bang! Pa!
Zhao Kuo also clapped his hands, and the mahogany coffee table next to him instantly turned into powder!
"Since when did you have the right to interfere in the affairs of the East Sea?" Zhao Kuo shouted.
The atmosphere suddenly became sharp, and both sides could not help but feel like they were about to draw their swords. Although East Ocean had Zhao Kuo, the average strength of the elites that West Ocean brought was higher than East Ocean!
Oldman Zeng took a few deep breaths and said coldly, "If East Ocean doesn't give us a satisfactory answer, we will start a war!"
Start the battle!
A great war in the cultivation world!
Not only the elders of the East Ocean, but even the elders of the West Ocean trembled slightly.
There hadn't been a large-scale battle in the cultivation world for 600 years. In the past one or two hundred years, due to the collective ascension of human cultivators and the establishment of the Dragon Clan Inspector System, there hadn't even been a single individual killing!
The East Ocean Dragon Clan and the West Ocean Dragon Clan were both powerful forces. If a war were to break out, even the inspectors wouldn't be able to stop it!
In the great war of the cultivation world six hundred years ago, the human cultivators of the six major cultivation sects were involved. In the end, all the sects lost half of their experts and elites! Although the Dragon Tribe didn't join the battle officially, they were still affected and lost 16 Qian-level masters!
Oldman Zeng's words were very serious!
If Zhao Yanzi's matter caused a great war between the Dragon Clan, no one could afford to bear the consequences!
Zhao Kuo couldn't help but say something, but Zhao Guang stopped him immediately. Maintaining a calm expression, he looked at Oldman Zeng and asked, "What do you want?"
"Annul the marriage between Zhao Yanzi and this kid. Three years later, Zhao Yanzi will marry into West Ocean!" Oldman Zeng said firmly.
His overbearing attitude showed that he was sure that East Ocean would give in. Based on his attitude, Zhao Yanzi could tell what kind of status Zhao Yanzi would have if she married into West Ocean!
Hearing Oldman Zeng's request, Zhao Yanzi was so angry that she wanted to stand up and say something, but she was stopped by Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Guang knew that West Ocean wanted to take a piece of East Ocean's interest with its superior strength. As for the reason, they could find any reason. It was true that Zeng Yitao liked Zhao Yanzi, but this kid didn't know what kind of person he was. He was arrogant, domineering, and lusted after women. He had no good points at all!
How could Zhao Guang marry his precious daughter to such a 'Crown Prince'?
Since they didn't agree, Zhao Guang didn't want to give in anymore. He put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table and said lightly, "Impossible."
"You …" A strong aura rose from Oldman Zeng. In his mind, Zhao Guang was a pushover. He didn't expect Zhao Guang to be so tough when it came to his daughter!
But … taking the initiative to declare war, he really didn't dare open his mouth!
East Ocean had thousands of years of history, and West Ocean had thousands of years of history as well! If they were to fight, even if West Ocean had the upper hand, it wouldn't be easy!
South Ocean and North Ocean didn't seem to be doing anything, but they were actually watching the relationship between East Ocean and West Ocean!
Oldman Zeng's body shook slightly. "Ok, I'll give you one more month …"
"It's not necessary. Zi has already picked her own Fuma, and we respect her choice. Therefore, we won't consider marrying Zi into West Ocean," Zhao Guang said lightly.
Hearing Zhao Guang's words, Zhao Yanzi turned to look at Hao Ren beside her and blushed.
"I didn't choose him … But compared to Zeng Yitao, I think Hao Ren is better …" she thought to herself.
Hao Ren listened to the discussion between Zhao Guang and Oldman Zeng quietly, analyzing the relationship and the situation between East Ocean and West Ocean.
He now understood that his existence as the Fuma was a chess piece to cut off West Ocean. Otherwise, if West Ocean proposed to East Ocean, it would be hard for East Ocean to refuse based on the relationship between the two families!
Now that Zhao Yanzi 'chose' her Fuma, and the Fuma had successfully become a member of the Dragon Clan, it would be unreasonable for West Ocean to use this as an excuse!
If East Ocean rejected Zhao Yanzi's marriage proposal, East Ocean would be disgracing West Ocean. If Zhao Yanzi was already married, and West Ocean forced Zhao Yanzi to marry someone else, it would be stealing someone else's love!
No matter what, East Ocean was in the right now! If West Ocean started a war on purpose, the neutral forces would most likely stand on East Ocean's side!
It seemed insignificant for Hao Ren to reach Kan-level before Zhao Yanzi's birthday party, but it was a great strategic contribution!
"Good … Good … Good …" Oldman Zeng stared at Zhao Guang and said "good" three times. He finally understood that East Ocean was not as strong as West Ocean in terms of military strength, but it was more strategic than West Ocean. Its business on land was better than West Ocean's, and it was much better at drawing other forces to its side!
East Ocean had been planning these things for months, and Zhao Yanzi's birthday party was just a show of strength!
Zhao Guang was calm; he was ready for battle!
If West Ocean were to charge at this time, they would be running into East Ocean's trap!
"Goodbye!" Oldman Zeng suddenly stood up and left!
