"A joyous occasion?"
Jiang Nan was puzzled and followed Daoist Xuanyin to the Sovereign's Peak and arrived at the Pure Yang Main Hall. Jiang Nan thought, "Could it be that the Demon King saw that I've accepted a disciple and is planning to choose a good disciple from his sect to marry Young Mother?"
In the Pure Yang Hall, Xi Yingqing, Mu Wanqing, and the Demon Emperor took their respective seats, accompanied by a few Supreme Elders. There were also a few Supreme Elders under the command of the Demon Emperor, whose cultivation was extremely strong. They were all experts of the Heavenly Palace, and their bodies were filled with dense Demon Qi.
Aside from them, there was also the Sky Demon Saintess, Cai Yi, and the Hundred Dawns Pavilion Master Mei Yue.
The Sky Demon Saintess blushed when she saw Jiang Nan floating over. Their eyes met, and the girl quickly averted her gaze, not daring to look at him.
"Zi Chuan greets the Sect Master, Madam, Demon King, and Seniors." Jiang Nan bowed and sat down.
Xi Yingqing gently smiled. "Zi Chuan, the Demon King is here for the marriage between our Sage Sect and the Demon God's Sect. Fellow Daoist Demon King, I'll leave this matter to you. "
The Demon Emperor's eyes shone like stars, he was handsome and charming. He smiled and said, "This time, I am thick-skinned. Normally, when a man and a woman are in love with each other, it is the man who proposes marriage to the woman. How can the woman propose marriage to the man? However, I'm anxious for my daughter, so I can't be bothered. Zi Chuan, you and my daughter, Lian Xiang, are in love with each other. Therefore, I'm thick-skinned to propose a marriage for my daughter. I only have one daughter, and I'm getting old. I can't bear to see her go far away. Therefore, I wish for Zi Chuan to marry into my Demon God's Sect. "
Xi Yingqing slightly knitted his brows. Mu Wanqing understood and said, "Demon King might not know, but Zi Chuan is the next Sect Master of my Sage Sect. It's impossible for him to marry into your Demon God's Sect."
The Demon King's eyes flickered as he looked at Jiang Nan and smiled. "I thought I had a good eye for heroes, but I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Xi to be so good. Since that's the case, I won't force it. Let my daughter marry into your Demon God's Sect. But she has to visit frequently to maintain our relationship. "
Mu Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled. "It's normal for a son-in-law to visit his father-in-law."
The Demon King laughed. "Since it's an engagement, how can there be no dowry? Fellow Daoist Xi, Madam, although my Demon God's Sect isn't as wealthy as your sect, we still have quite a few treasures. "If this is true, the Demon God's Sect, Sect, Master, Xi, Demon, will, will be.
"Xi, Yingqing," Demon, Ling Xian, Xing, said, "Demon God," Chuan, "Yi, Tian", "Yi, Xi, Yang King Mu," Tian "for Yi.
Xi Yingqing and Mu Wanqing couldn't help but be moved. Daoist Xuanyin and the other Grand Elders cried out in surprise. They looked at each other with joy.
The Hundred Xiao House was the most famous source of information in the world. There was nothing they didn't know. Just the information alone was an unimaginable fortune!
The Demon King smiled. "What's the most expensive thing in the world? It's not treasures, cultivation techniques, or talents. It's information. With the enemy's intelligence, they could make preparations and countermeasures in advance, and devise strategies. With information on treasures, we can seek benefits and avoid harm, and obtain boundless wealth. My Hundred Xiao House gathers information from the world. In terms of information, no one can surpass us. Furthermore, our Hundred Xiao House earns a shocking amount of wealth from selling information. Charming Moon, tell everyone about it. "
The Charming Moon House Master nodded and stood up. "Last year, the Hundred Xiao House earned eighty million kilograms of spiritual liquid. The year before that, it was seventy-five million kilograms. Three years ago, it was over a hundred million kilograms …"
Daoist Profound Yin and the rest couldn't help being moved. The Hundred Xiao House was simply a huge spiritual spring. Every year, just by selling information, they would be rolling in money. If they could obtain the Hundred Xiao House, it would be like obtaining a bunch of hens laying golden eggs!
"The year the Seven Treasure Forest appeared, my Hundred Xiao House earned the most shocking profit, reaching two hundred million kilograms of spiritual liquid!"
The Charming Moon House Master smiled with a hint of pride in her tone. "Among all the sects in the world, the wealthiest is the Southern Sea. However, whether it's Taixuan Shengzong or my Demon God's Sect that's up for debate. Sect Master Xi, Madam, my Master is willing to hand over the Hundred Xiao House as a dowry. Isn't that enough to show his sincerity? "
Xi Yingqing lightly nodded his head. The Demon King laughed. "Then, this marriage is decided. Let's pick an auspicious day and let this pair of lovebirds get married!"
Xi Yingqing smiled. "The marriage has already been decided verbally. However, courtesy demands reciprocity. How can we let the girl take the initiative to propose? I will have Zi Chuan bring the betrothal gifts to your sect and settle this marriage in front of everyone. "
The Demon King was overjoyed. "Fellow Daoist Xi is so considerate. Then this little brother will go back and prepare …"
"Wait!"
When everyone heard the voice, they all turned to look at Jiang Nan. The Demon King smiled. "Son-in-law, do you have any objections?"
"Of course."
Jiang Nan was neither servile nor overbearing. He said in a solemn voice, "The Seniors have decided on this marriage in a few words. They have yet to ask for the opinions of this junior and the Holy Maiden."
The Demon Emperor made an 'oh' sound and laughed: "Lian Xiang, are you willing to agree to this marriage?"
The Holy Maiden looked at Jiang Nan. She hesitated for a brief moment before she bit her lips and nodded. "I'll listen to Father's decision."
"That means you're willing."
The Demon King laughed. "Son-in-law, I'm not an unreasonable person. I also know that a melon that's forcefully picked won't be sweet. However, since my daughter has already agreed, then there's nothing to worry about."
"I'm not willing." Jiang Nan faintly said.
Even though his voice was soft, it was no different than a thunderclap when it entered the ears of everyone present, and it shook their eardrums to the point they were swollen and buzzing.
The Demon King's face instantly sank. The Demon God's Sect's Grand Elders couldn't restrain their anger. The Holy Maiden's face turned deathly pale as her body swayed.
I'm not willing.
Jiang Nan's words finally made her feel what it was like to be rejected. She once had a chance with Jiang Nan. In the hall of the Ten-thousand Flower House, Jiang Nan had used his own Yang Qi to heal her wounds and taught her the Sun Sutra. Their souls had intertwined and their spirits had merged once. At that time, Jiang Nan had been moved and even had the thought of becoming Cultivation companions with her. However, the Heavenly Demon Saintess had rejected him in the name of pursuing the Dao.
But now, Jiang Nan rejected her, which made her feel wronged and sour in her heart.
I'm not willing.
Those words caused the eardrums of Xi Yingqing, Daoist Profound Yin, and the rest to ring. They originally thought that Jiang Nan would happily accept this marriage. After all, the Holy Maiden was the daughter of the Demon Emperor. Her talent was outstanding, and she was one of the most outstanding figures in the younger generation!
Furthermore, the Holy Maiden might inherit the Demon God's Sect Master's position. By becoming Dao Companions with her, the Xuan Tian Holy Sect would have a powerful helper!
Most importantly, the Demon Emperor was offering the Hundred Dawn Pavilion as a dowry!
The Hundred Dawn Pavilion's value was immeasurable. Daoist Profound Yin and the rest couldn't wait to agree to this marriage on behalf of Jiang Nan!
One could imagine how furious the Demon Emperor would be if they rejected the Demon Emperor. Offending such an expert and a large sect like the Demon God's Sect was enough to give them a headache!
The Holy Maiden suddenly smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Zi Chuan, are you trying to anger me? I once told you that becoming dao companions and loving each other for a long time will hinder each other's cultivation progress. Are you still angry because of this sentence? "
"Lian Xiang, there's no need to say anymore."
The Demon Emperor's face was dark as he coldly snorted, "My Demon God's Sect has not lowered itself to this extent, begging for pity!"
"Demon Emperor, don't be angry."
Daoist Profound Hu immediately smiled, "Zi Chuan must have lost his mind from the good news and is spouting nonsense. Don't you think so, Zi Chuan? "
Jiang Nan shook his head and said, "Martial Ancestor Profound Hu, I understand your good intentions. However, I don't have any feelings for the Holy Maiden. I've examined my own thoughts and traced them back to the source of my heart. I've investigated every single detail of my thoughts, but I couldn't find the slightest bit of love for the Holy Maiden. Please forgive me for not being able to agree to this marriage. "
The Holy Maiden's face was drained of all colour and she nearly fainted.
Earlier, she thought that Jiang Nan was just saying those words out of anger. But now, Jiang Nan's words clearly told her that he wasn't angry at her rejection, but that he didn't have any feelings for her.
It was a huge blow to her heart that made her feel despair. She knew that it was impossible for her and Jiang Nan to be together!
"Hahaha!"
The Demon Sovereign suddenly raised his head to the sky and laughed. He did not conceal his anger at all. He flicked his sleeves and said, "Fellow Daoist Xi, fellow Daoists, I have already humbled myself by coming here. I didn't expect that I would be giving my face to all of you. Very well, very well! Daughter, there's no need to say anymore. Let's go! "
Everyone from the Demon God Palace left the Pure Yang Palace in anger and flew out of the Xuan Tian Sacred Sect.
Daoist Profound Yin and the rest sighed and said in a low voice, "What's going on? They angered the Demon Emperor for no reason. I'm afraid that the entire Demon God's Sect will be furious this time. The relationship between our Sacred Sect and the Demon God's Sect will fall to the freezing point. "
"After this matter, the Demon God's Sect will most likely become enemies with our Sacred Sect."
…
Daoist Profound Yin shook his head and left. Jiang Nan bowed to Xi Yingqing. "Sect Master, Zi Chuan was too rash."
"It's your right to like someone. It's not your fault."
Xi Yingqing stood up and his eyes flickered as he looked in the direction of the Demon Emperor. "What puzzles me is that the Demon Emperor's cultivation doesn't seem to be as strong as before …"
Mu Wanqing was puzzled. "Senior Brother, I can see that the Demon Emperor and everyone from the Demon God's Sect have made great progress. Why are you saying that he's not as strong as before?"
Jiang Nan was also curious and listened carefully. Xi Yingqing smiled. "I'm talking about his mental state. The Demon Emperor founded the Hundred Dawn Tower and controlled the information in the world. He has always had the ambition to rule the world! He's already a Martial Grandmaster. With his mental state, he won't be angry at Zi Chuan's rejection. Even if he was angry, he would at least act amiable on the surface. At most, he would try to cause trouble in the dark. However, he got angry in front of me. Clearly, his mental state has fallen from the level of a Martial Grandmaster. "
Jiang Nan was puzzled. "Sect Master, will the mental state of a Martial Grandmaster fall as well?"
Xi Yingqing nodded his head. "It will. If one's cultivation grows too quickly and his foundation is unstable, his heart will be blinded by the sudden increase in power. However, to fall from the level of a Martial Grandmaster, his cultivation will have to increase by six to seven times. "
Jiang Nan's heart trembled as he said in a solemn voice, "The Demon Emperor was originally a Sect Master. Now that his strength has increased by six to seven times, doesn't that mean that his cultivation has reached 7-stage Heavenly Palace?"
Xi Yingqing's eyes lit up as he exchanged a glance with Jiang Nan. "So it's him!"
