Chapter 118: The Yan n Wants to Arrange a Marriage?


    ?


    "Arrange another marriage?"


    Gu Nanhai and the others were slightly stunned upon hearing this, and their gaze shifted to Huo Zhi, who was quietly sitting at the end of the table. They began to vaguely understand the purpose of the Yan n''s visit.


    "It sounds like they''re here to arrange a marriage for Gu Fei..."


    "This is strange. Traditionally, it''s the man who proposes marriage, and it''s rare for the woman to take the initiative, especially from a prominent n like the Yan n..."


    Gu Nanhai looked at the Yan n''s elders and Huo Zhi with confusion. The Yan n''s proactive offer of a talented young woman left them puzzled, leading to various spections. "Haha, this is a younger member of our n, Huo Zhi, only neen years old, and already an eight-star Dou Ancestor. She would be well-matched with Gu Fei..."


    Elder Huo Yao of the Yan n noticed Gu Nanhai and the others'' confusion but did not offer much exnation, instead introducing the red-clothed woman.


    The woman in red was Huo Zhi. She wore a light red dress, and her face was covered with a veil. Yet, even with the veil, her stunning features were evident. Her bright eyes showed no emotion, even when facing several elders of the Gu n.


    "Only neen years old and already an eight-star Dou Ancestor!"


    Gu Nanhai looked at the woman in red with amazement, marveling at her talent. In terms of talent, there was no one in the Gu n, except Xun''er, who couldpare to her.


    Such a genius should be among the top in the Yan n. The Yan n''s decision to proactively offer her for marriage... What is their real motive?


    Gu Nanhai''s gaze grew more cautious as he considered the Yan n''s intentions, though he continued to praise Huo Zhi, "Such talent is extraordinary. Your Yan n is truly blessed with sessors!"


    Elder Huo Yao smiled and said, "I''m sure you can see that our Yan n is sincere, so please give serious consideration to this marriage proposal."


    If the Yan n was genuinely interested in a marriage alliance, Gu Fei marrying the Yan n''s prodigy would benefit both the Gu n and the Yan n immensely.


    The Yan n and Gu n would be deeply bound together.


    With thebined power of the two ns, even the Hun n and the other ancient ns would be firmly suppressed.


    However, Gu Nanhai couldn''t make this decision alone. It wasn''t because of the Xiao Yi Xian that Gu Fei brought back; the Gu n elders didn''t consider her significant enough to deserve their attention. In fact, they thought she was a distraction for Gu Fei.


    What they cared about was Gu Fei''s own wishes.


    Given Gu Fei''s special status within the n, every decision concerning him had to be made by Gu Fei himself.


    "Gu Fei is the number one genius of our Gu n, and the grandson of the ck Submerged King. His marriage is not something we can decide..."


    "So, please rest here for a few days. We will discuss this with the other elders in the n and then give you a satisfactory reply..."


    Elder Huo Yao had expected Gu Nanhai''s hesitation and wasn''t surprised.


    "We will await your good news then!"


    ...


    "I heard that the Yan n members have arrived in our Gu n, apanied by several Dou Saint elders and a red-haired woman. Even though the woman was veiled, it''s clear she''s a great beauty!"


    "As far as I know, the Yan n is here to arrange a marriage..."


    "A marriage proposal! If I could marry that beautiful woman, I would have no regrets in life!"


    "Stop dreaming; they''re here to propose to Gu Fei."


    The Gu n disciples who heard this were instantly deted, like wild grass trampled underfoot.


    As the conversation was taking ce, Xun''er happened to pass by and overheard the purpose


    of the Yan n''s visit. She was very surprised.


    "Even the Yan n wants topete for him?"


    Xun''er bit her lip, her expression filled with resentment.


    It was something she once had but didn''t care for.


    Now that she had discarded it, it suddenly became a prized possession in everyone''s eyes. The immense sense of loss continued to assault her mind, breaking down her fragile defenses.


    "No, I need to find out what''s really going on!"


    Just as Xun''er was about to take action, a sh of red light appeared before her, and then a red-clothed woman appeared- it was Huo Zhi.


    "This must be Miss Xun''er!" Huo Zhi said, sizing up Xun''er with a smile.


    Xun''er stared at Huo Zhi, her sixth sense filling her with hostility toward this unfamiliar


    woman.


    "Haha, I''ve heard about Miss Xun''er''s exceptional talent. Seeing you today, the rumors do you justice..."


    Huo Zhiughed, sensing Xun''er''s aura, which was only at the five-star Dou Emperor level, and her tone carried a clear sense of mockery.


    "Who are you?"


    "I am Huo Zhi of the Yan n!"


    "You''re the girl the Yan n wants to marry to Gu Fei?"


    Xun''er''s eyes grew cold. The man she couldn''t have, she wouldn''t let anyone else have easily.


    "Gu Fei will never agree to marry you!"


    "He already has someone he loves, and he''s now living with his new love in the Gu Sacred Mountain... Your visit here is just to humiliate yourself."


    Xun''er''s words wereced with venom, humiliating Huo Zhi while also dragging the Xiao Yi


    Xian into the fray.


    You want to marry Gu Fei?


    Gu Fei already has a new love. Let''s see what you do now!


    Go find his lover, humiliate her, and cause a big scene relying on your Yan n status.


    Maybe even alert the Gu n''s higher-ups, putting Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian in an awkward position!


    Xun''er thought everything out beautifully, but Huo Zhi didn''t react as she had expected.


    Learning that Gu Fei already had a new love, Huo Zhi remainedpletely indifferent,


    showing no interest whatsoever, and said calmly,


    "It doesn''t matter if he doesn''t agree. After all, I''m not interested either..."


    Huo Zhi had a very high opinion of herself, and in her eyes, there weren''t many men who were


    worthy of her attention.


    Her visit to the Gu n was at the elders'' request, not her own. She was merely curious about what kind of person this so-called genius Gu Fei was.


    "But you, speaking so eagerly about Gu Fei... I''ve heard some rumors about you..."


    "Enough!" Xun''er shouted angrily, cutting Huo Zhi off before she could continue.


    Huo Zhi looked at the furious Xun''er with a satisfied smile.


    "Miss Xun''er should take care of her own affairs before thinking about others." Huo Zhi left


    these words behind as she turned and walked away.


    Xun''er stood there, furious, her fists clenched tightly.


    If she were stronger than Huo Zhi, she wouldn''t have held back from attacking just now.


    ...


    At the mountain where Gu Fei resided.


    Zi Yan''s figure shed across the mountain, looking very anxious. She rushed to the bamboo


    house and immediately shouted toward the main building, "Xiao Yi Xian, something terrible


    has happened!"


    "Zi Yan, what''s the matter? Why are you so agitated?"


    Xiao Yi Xian came out of the main building and asked, seeing Zi Yan''s anxious expression.


    "I was just out wandering and overheard that the Yan n, one of the eight ancient ns, has


    sent an envoy. They came here to arrange a marriage for Brother Gu Fei!"


    "What?"


    "A marriage for Brother Gu Fei?"


    Xiao Yi Xian''s expression changed instantly upon hearing this.


    (TL/n: Fun Fact- Yan n is in possesion of five heavenly mes, the highest of which is


    ranked at 8.)
