Chapter Forty-Four: Proposing Marriage?

  Gao Family, a family relying on the largest water demon land of Nanhaithe Yunmengze to build.

  Gao Daqian, the newly appointed head of the Gao family, had just taken over as the head of the household last year. It is said that this time the change in leadership of the Gao family and Gao Daqian's rise to power are not unrelated to the fact that he has a talented daughter.

  As the first genius of the younger generation of the Four Great Families, Gao Rou allowed Gao Daqian to have more chips as the host, and finally defeated his strong opponent, becoming the new helmsman of the Gao family.

  Behind the Gao family's house is a mountain.

  One person with an ethereal and elegant demeanor, riding on a turtle...

  The Gao family was shocked, and countless congenital spirits gathered quickly.

  A young administrative officer of the Gao family's new generation, Gao Qianzhan, rose into the air and led many congenital spirits to intercept: "Which immortal has arrived at my Gao family? Please report your origin!"

  "Hmmph!"

  "A cold snort: 'Where's Gao Daqian? Let him come out! You and I are not on equal terms.'"

  A dark glint flashed in Gao Qian's eyes as he bellowed, "What a big nerve you have! Is the master of this house someone you can casually address by name? So you're a demon from another region, and you actually dared to sneak into my Gao family home. You're truly asking for humiliation..."

  Gao's family is adjacent to Yunmengze.

  For years, he and Yun Mengze had been fighting a fierce battle in the midst of the clouds, with neither side giving an inch, locked in a struggle to the death.

  Gao Qian saw a stranger riding on a thousand-year-old demon turtle, and immediately thought he was also a great demon of Yunmengze. Without saying a word, he ordered his men to take action.

  In an instant, amidst the void, the pre-heavenly born spiritual instrument swiftly appeared, countless rays of light flashing, stirring up a whirlpool of wolf-like spiritual energy.

  Gao Qianzhan took the lead, his "Thousand Battle Sword" transforming into a massive black dragon, coiling around a pungent and intense fishy smell, charging straight at the demon turtle.

  A fierce glint flashed across the demon's eyes.

  Mouth opened wide, a crimson mist spewed out, and the entire sky was instantly shrouded in a red haze...

  "Everyone be careful! This demon is a pre-heavenly old demon, its cultivation is extremely deep, this fog is poisonous!" Gao Qianzhan loudly shouted.

  The next moment, he led the way, and several congenital spirits killed out of the red fog. At this time, the sky suddenly darkened.

  A strange and mournful aura descended from the sky, and several magical artifacts that had been sent out by the pre-heavenly spirits instantly solidified in mid-air.

  The surrounding airspace within a radius of ten miles was completely frozen in place, as if sealed in ice. Several innate cultivators had never seen such a bizarre scene before?

  Each and every one of them was on the verge of collapse, desperately urging their divine sense and spiritual power to urge the magical instruments, but it had no effect whatsoever.

  "Hmph!" A cold hum rose again, striking the hearts of several people like a muffled thunder. Several innate spiritual souls flew away in fright and scattered in all directions: "It's Ru Xu, a strong practitioner from the Void Realm!"

  "I wonder who it is... It turns out that it's Young Master Yanzi arriving..." A low, muffled voice drifted over from the depths of the mountain.

  "Yan Zi, little brother, after all these years, you still have this temper. All of you, withdraw! I'll personally welcome the guest..."

  That sound rang out again, and immediately, everyone felt a flash before their eyes.

  In the void, a middle-aged monk with a rich temperament appeared. He had a smile on his face and stood quietly in mid-air, looking at the gray-robed monk on the turtle with calm eyes.

  "He... He is Zhu Yanzi? Zhu Yanzi has actually entered the Void Realm?" Gao Qianzhan stood behind a middle-aged cultivator, his heart shocked.

  Zhu Yanzi, one of the four great talents in his youth.

  In recent years, he has rarely appeared in the South China Sea. It is said that he often hangs out in the Demon Realm and has mistakenly entered the plot, his cultivation is no longer possible.

  But...

  The numerous members of the Gao family, who were all born with a natural spiritual aura, gazed up at the demonic turtle. The middle-aged man with fluttering sleeves and an ethereal demeanor caused them to exchange astonished glances, and they immediately retreated in disarray...

  ……

  The Gao family's Xian tea comes from the depths of Yunmengze and is a unique product of Nanhai.

  In a certain reception hall deep in the rear mountain of the Gao family, Zhu Yanzi and Gao Datian sat opposite each other, with the fragrance of immortal tea wafting inside the grand hall.

  Gao Daqian quietly sized up the familiar face in front of him, his emotions extremely complicated.

  Although he was of the same generation as Zhu Yanzi, he was actually fifteen years older than Zhu Yanzi.

  Even so, the young generation of the four major families at that time was still under Zhu Yanzi's dominance. Gao Daqian, who was also a talented person, had to live in Zhu Yanzi's shadow.

  After many years, Gao Daqian had made a breakthrough a few years ago and thought that his cultivation would finally be among the best of the second generation of the four major families.

  But today...

  "Devouring Soul Sword" Zhu Yanzi reappeared, his cultivation had reached this point, he didn't even use any magical tools, just using the powerful divine ability of a Void Cultivator to directly annihilate many of the Gao family's Innates. This level of cultivation made Gao Daqian feel inferior...

  "Yan Zi, little brother, it's been ten years since we last saw each other. I didn't expect that your cultivation would reach such a realm. I'm still not as good as you!" Gao Daqian sighed.

  "Brother Daqian, one thing I admire most about you is that you are humble and kind to others. Unlike me, who is arrogant and unpopular!"

  "Haha, you're overpraising me! As the saying goes, 'No trivial matter can bring one to the Three Treasures Hall.' I wonder what brings Brother Yanzi's noble carriage here today?"

  Zhu Yanzi smiled proudly: "Daqian Shixiong, I've heard that you have a daughter who is exceptionally talented. As it happens, I also have a son whose talent is not inferior to your beloved daughter. Today, I came here for this very reason, hoping that we can become in-laws and from now on, our pursuit of the Dao will be even closer..."

  "What?" Gao Daqian's expression changed.

  "Zhu Yanzi actually came for Rou'er?"

  He secretly smiled bitterly, and there were indeed many people who came for this over the years.

  Gao Jia Gao Rou's natural talent is unparalleled, her beauty unmatched. As a young and promising youth, who wouldn't want to marry such an ethereal partner?

  Not only did the four major families of the South China Sea have household-level figures frequently visiting, but also many larger families from the East China Sea, West China Sea and North China Sea often came to ask for help.

  Alas, with a high and gentle heart, and an arrogant spirit, she asks about immortals with all her heart, regarding these various talented and handsome men as nothing but weeds, not even worthy of consideration.

  The Gao family is also delighted to see this, and Gao Rou is now the most talented female disciple under Jiang Xianzi's "One Word Wisdom Sword", with no worries about inheriting her mantle in the future.

  Such a genius, still worried about marriage?

  "This matter needs to be considered from a long-term perspective... My daughter Ruo, ah... has high aspirations, and her major life events will ultimately depend on her own willingness. We, as parents, shouldn't interfere too much..."

  Gao Daqian's words were tactful, but in fact, he was flatly refusing.

  The third generation of Zhu's family is generally declining, and everyone in Nanhai knows it.

  Zhu Yanzi had a son who was said to have great potential and was a green robe disciple at Donghai Institute.

  But he's just a green-robed disciple, how can he be worthy of our family's Rong'er? Besides, it's said that this child is born with a big head and ears, his appearance is extremely ugly, without any celestial air, Gao Daxian's dragon-riding son-in-law, how can he be such a son?

  "Hmph!" Zhu Yanzi let out a cold hum, sitting upright in his chair as he gazed at Gao Daqian with disdain. "Gao Daqian, don't even think about comparing yourself to me in Taiji. To be honest, your disciple may have some natural talent, but in my opinion, I don't think much of him."

  If it weren't for my son having a crush on your daughter, do you think I'd come here to ask for tea?

  "Alright then, let's just forget I mentioned it and drop the matter!"

  Zhu Yanzi stood up: "Lao Gui, let's go!"

  "Wait, wait! Yanzi little brother, don't... Ah, you're so impatient... Please sit down, we're old brothers who haven't seen each other in ten years. We can't let this matter hurt our fraternal bond... Let's discuss it thoroughly, discuss it thoroughly..."

  Gao Daqian hastily blocked Zhu Yanzi, with a smile on his face like a blooming flower.

  He was originally the smiling tiger of the Gao family, and he was the most smooth-talking person.

  Don't underestimate a small wedding, for it has provoked Zhu Yanzi, which is very ominous.

  The Gao and Zhu families have been secretly vying for power all these years, but the Gaos have never had the upper hand. Now, Zhu Yanzi has unexpectedly returned, and it's a strong comeback.

  That is to say, the Zhu family has added another super virtual realm level giant.

  The balance of power among the four major families in Nanyang will definitely be broken because of this. If Gao's family provokes Zhu Yanzi first, there will be endless troubles later on.

  Blocked by Gao Daqian, Zhu Yanzi's eyes flashed with anger: "Gao Daqian, just give me a straight answer, don't beat around the bush, I don't have time to waste on idle chatter!"

  "Sit down, sit down, sit first, sit first!"

  Don't hit a smiling face with an outstretched hand, the tall and majestic smile is very rich, with a respectful attitude, Zhu Yanzi hesitated for a moment, and sat down with a hum.

  Gao Daqian's mind was racing wildly, thinking about what to do with this matter.

  Zhu Yanzi's personality is quite eccentric and arrogant, often clashing with others at the slightest disagreement, today...

  "Huh? Yanzi little brother, you just said your child... Yu'er? I remember your child in Donghaiyuan wasn't named that..."

  "Do I have only one son? I have several sons you don't know?"

  Gao Daqian was stunned for a moment, and silently recited in his heart: "Fish, Vermilion Fish, Vermilion Fish..."

  He suddenly shuddered, his face changed greatly, and due to excessive excitement, the cup of tea in front of him was swept to the ground. However, he didn't notice at all, and suddenly stood up, staring dead at Zhu Yanzi: "Fish, you're saying... Qingxian's child..."

  Zhu Yanzi's face changed color, and he turned his head to look at Gao Daqian.

  Gao Daqian slapped himself: "Ahh, look at me, I was wrong, I was wrong... shouldn't have mentioned the fairy's name..."

  His emotions suddenly became agitated, and he began pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.

  What floated in his mind was a stunningly beautiful face, the deepest part of the demon realm, where a fairy suddenly descended, like a noble fairy coming into the world, with such unparalleled beauty that it would shame the girls of the Imperial Palace...

  "Her... her... her son?"

  "Yan Zi, wasn't this child originally born without a spiritual pulse, no...no affinity for the immortal path? How..."

  "Hmph..." Zhu Yanzi let out a cold snort, not even deigning to look at Gao Daqian.

  Gao Daqian's face fell, and his complexion changed instantly.

  After a long time, he waved his large hand: "The master's order has been given. A noble guest has arrived, and the four great elders will come to welcome him quickly!"

  In the empty space, a figure flashed, and the four old men quickly arrived at the living room.

  Gao Daqian leaned in close to Zhu Yanzi: "Yanzi, little brother, today we brothers haven't seen each other for ten years, I've prepared a humble wine, we must drink a few cups, definitely, definitely..."

  "Reminder: don't relax on recommending votes, brothers! The ones behind are catching up tightly, the rankings are very tight..."
