"Not someone from the nine great families? Then who is it? Could it be one of those mysterious ancient families? "Situ Xiong was shocked.
Actually, the nine great families weren't the strongest families in this world. Because it was too long ago, some very powerful families had completely disappeared in front of the world.
But this didn't mean that such families didn't exist. On the contrary, these families would only become more and more terrifying. Even Situ Xiong didn't know many of them.
Since the Chen family wanted to marry off their daughter and rejected the Situ family, they must have found a stronger backer than the Situ family.
Thinking about Chen Tianxing's words and his series of actions, it was possible that the Chen family found a stronger backer, so they did such a thing.
Otherwise, why would the eight great families' patriarchs be called over for the marriage of a little girl from the Chen family? Moreover, Chen Tianxing also said that the Chen family's old ancestor would come to preside over Chen Xinran's marriage.
Originally, he thought that Chen Tianxing was talking nonsense with him. But now that he thought about it, it seemed that everything was right.
If this was the case, then he couldn't find trouble with the Chen family because of this matter.
"Father, it's not like this. Chen Xinran is going to marry a disciple of Limitless Palace!" Situ Yongkang said.
"Limitless Palace? You mean one of the four great sects, Limitless Palace? "Situ Xiong seemed to be unable to react.
Limitless Palace was indeed one of the four great sects, but compared to the nine great families, their status was lower.
Chen family might not find someone stronger than the nine great families, but they should at least find someone from the nine great families, right? Why would they find someone that was lower than the nine great families?
"It seems so!" Situ Yongkang nodded.
"What the hell is this Chen family doing? They actually rejected our Situ family for a disciple of Limitless Palace? "Situ Xiong couldn't believe it. Chen family only managed to recruit a son-in-law of Limitless Palace?
"I don't know either. However, I heard from the Chen Family that they organized a marriage contest for Chen Xinran. It's just that our Situ Family didn't participate in it. That disciple from Limitless Palace was the winner of that marriage contest!" Situ Yongkang looked at his father and said.
"That's right, the Chen family did send me an invitation to the betrothal contest. But because your brothers weren't interested, you were in seclusion, and Chen Xinran wasn't very strong at that time, I didn't think too much about it, so the Situ Family didn't send anyone over and didn't care too much about it! "Situ Xiong said after thinking for a while.
"So that person is the winner of the Chen family's competition!"
"Did any of the other families participate in that competition?" Situ Xiong asked.
Because he didn't intend to let Chen Xinran enter the Situ Clan, he naturally didn't care about this matter.
"I heard that the Ji Family, Feng Family, and Dongfang Family are all going!"
"Does that mean the people from Limitless Palace defeated the three big families?" Situ Xiong was surprised.
He felt that since Limitless Palace could win, it must be because the other aristocratic families didn't participate. But they didn't expect that even the Ji Family would go and let the Limitless Palace's people win. This was quite surprising.
"Yes, the Ji Clan is really useless. They can't even defeat people from the four great sects. But Father, what should we do now? Since they already have a marriage contest, can we still snatch her away now? "Situ Yongkang said worriedly.
Originally, he wanted to go and see Chen Xinran. But he didn't expect to find out about this situation on the way. Therefore, he immediately dispelled the idea of going and seeing Chen Xinran.
Because this was somewhat inappropriate. At the very least, he had to think of a way.
But when he thought that Chen Xinran was going to marry a disciple of Limitless Palace, he felt that it was simply too ridiculous. What ability does a disciple of Limitless Palace have to marry a woman from the Chen family?
"If the Chen family had already informed them about this matter, then it would be quite troublesome for us now!" Situ Xiong said with difficulty.
Previously, he didn't think too much about it. He also didn't know that Chen Xinran was married. Therefore, he didn't think about this matter.
But now that Situ Yongkang reminded him, he recalled about this matter. If that was the case, the Chen family had indeed used a competition to decide the result.
If they were to forcefully take Chen Xinran back, it would be somewhat unreasonable. If this matter were to spread to the ears of the other aristocratic families, their Situ family would probably be pointed at by them again.
"Since the Chen family had already decided on this matter, why didn't they directly reject us?" Situ Yongkang said with some doubts.
"This is also what I am puzzled about. What is this Chen Tianxing doing? It's really hard to see through him. He also said that this time, Chen Xinran's wedding will be hosted by the Chen family's ancestor. I wonder if it's true! "Situ Xiong also said with a puzzled look.
Situ Xiong would never have thought that the reason why Chen Tianxing didn't immediately reject him was because of Cheng Yu.
He wanted to get more formations from Cheng Yu. According to his original plan, if Cheng Yu refused to give him two more formations for the Chen family, he would marry Chen Xinran to the Situ family.
Therefore, he didn't reply to Situ Xiong. But who would have thought that Cheng Yu would reject him so directly? Moreover, he didn't even give him a chance and even threatened him.
And when this matter was settled, their invitation letter had already been sent out. Now that he saw that Situ Xiong came to the Chen family specifically for this matter, Chen Tianxing was a little worried. He was afraid that Situ Xiong would make a big deal out of this matter and the Chen family would lose face.
He might as well wait for all the people from the other seven aristocratic families to come. That Situ Xiong probably wouldn't make a scene in front of so many aristocratic families
"I think that old fellow Chen Tianxing deliberately lied to you. Chen Xinran's status in the Chen family isn't that high. Even if the Chen family's new patriarch succeeds, I'm afraid it's impossible for the Chen family's ancestor to preside over it!" Situ Yongkang said in disbelief.
No matter which family's ancestor it was, they would no longer care about these mundane things. Would their Chen family's ancestor really be so free? He even came to preside over the wedding of a girl from the Chen family.
Besides, this son-in-law of the Chen family was just a disciple of Limitless Palace with a low status. If even such an ancestor came out, then the Chen family's ancestor would have no status at all.
"But whether this matter is true or false, it will be very difficult for us to let Chen Xinran marry into the Situ family!" Situ Xiong said after thinking for a while.
He also felt that it was unlikely for the Chen family's ancestor to appear in this kind of thing. Just now, he thought that Chen Xinran married into one of those mysterious ancient families.
But since Chen Xinran was going to marry a disciple of Limitless Palace, then why would the Chen family's ancestor come out?
