45: System task, conquer the Wang family

“This matter... is a bit... uh...”

Wang Boyong feigned hesitation, his voice like leaves rustling in the wind, intermittent and elusive.

Seeing this, Xu Song thought it was something difficult, so he said, “Steward Wang, just say it. The Young Lord said that the Wang Family and my Xu Family have a debt of gratitude, and as long as my Xu Family can do it, we will never refuse!”

Wang Boyong smiled inwardly upon hearing this, clearly Xu Song had fallen into his trap, but his expression remained calm, without the slightest change.

“This matter is not difficult at all. The Xu Family can definitely help, and for both our families, it’s even a joyous occasion!”

Wang Boyong stroked his beard and chuckled.

“A joyous occasion?”

Xu Song was a bit puzzled. He instinctively felt that this old fellow in front of him had ill intentions, but thinking that the Xu Family was no longer what it used to be, he wasn't afraid of the other party causing trouble.

“Steward Wang, please speak freely!”

“Good! Since Elder Xu said so, I won’t hide anything!”

Seeing this, Wang Boyong knew the time was right.

“Actually, I came here by the Marquis’s order to establish a marriage alliance with the Xu Family!”

“What?” Xu Song’s eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.

He really didn’t expect the Wang Family to come for this matter. Could it be that they already knew about the Xu Family’s situation? But that’s impossible!

Judging from Wang Dong’s reaction at the city gate just now, the Wang Family clearly didn’t know.

So why would they suddenly come to propose marriage?

Moreover, they were the ones who broke off the engagement in the first place, so why do they now have intentions of establishing a marriage alliance again?

Could it be that Wang Yan was unwilling to break off the engagement, and Wang Changfeng acted on his own, and now Wang Yan is insistent, so the Wang Family has come again?

Although it sounded a bit dramatic, it wasn't impossible!

Furthermore, Wang Yan’s Awakened Star Moon Royal Body is a High Grade Royal Body, even in the Ming Domain it is a top-tier Royal Body, otherwise the Jade Maiden Palace would not have taken her in as a Disciple!

If such a favored daughter of heaven were to become the Young Lord’s wife, that would be excellent!

The Young Lord is already seventeen, and only about a year away from adulthood. It’s time to consider procreating, as procreation is also his duty as the head of the Xu Clan!

And Xu Yuan, upon hearing Wang Boyong’s intention, also instinctively nodded. His Elder brother labors for the Family, so it is time to find him a sister-in-law!

Then, when nephews and nieces are born, he can teach them swordsmanship!

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan couldn’t help but smile.

Seeing Xu Song remain silent for a long time, Wang Boyong thought the other party still held a grudge about the previous matter, so he hurriedly said, “I know that the annulment of the engagement was our Wang Family’s fault first! But what is done is done, and everything is already irreversible!”

“Today, I have come for my Wang Family’s direct daughter, Wang Yanan. My Young Miss is knowledgeable, well-mannered, and has a pure heart. So many talented young men wish to marry my Young Miss Yan'an but cannot!”

“But my Young Miss has long heard that your esteemed Xu Yuan, Young Master, is a young hero, as gentle as jade, with extraordinary talent, and has admired him for a long time, having already secretly given her heart. Therefore, the Marquis ordered me to come, hoping that the two can happily become a married couple!”

“Firstly, it is because my Marquis feels some guilt about the past incident and hopes to make amends; secondly, it is also to fulfill Young Miss Yan'an’s wish!”

“Hmm… huh?”

Xu Yuan was dumbfounded, his face filled with shock and disbelief. He simply couldn't believe his ears; this sudden news caught him completely off guard.

When he heard the beginning of the conversation, he thought this future sister-in-law should be quite good, but he never expected this ‘melon’ to land on his own head!

At the same time, countless questions and confusions surged in his heart. He didn't understand why the Wang Family would choose him as the object of their marriage alliance.

As for admiration and so on, those were just pretexts; anyone who believed them was foolish!

And all of this happened too suddenly, leaving him completely unprepared.

Xu Song was also stunned. So it wasn’t to arrange a marriage for the Young Lord, but for this kid Xu Yuan!

He looked at Wang Boyong, trying to find a hint of joking on the other party’s face, but Wang Boyong’s expression was very serious, clearly not joking.

However, it seemed it wasn't impossible either!

He had heard of this Wang Yanan, one of the seven daughters of the Wang Family. The Wang Family's seven daughters were famous throughout the Chu Dynasty, especially the first four!

The eldest of the seven daughters was the current Chu King’s favored concubine, Consort Wang Yanfei; the second daughter, Wang Yanqing, was the wife of the Chu Dynasty’s First Marquis—the Marquis of Tongtian!

The third daughter, Wang Yanshu, was the wife of the Young Sect Leader of the Purple Sun Sect, which is the top-ranked force among the nine Golden Forces!

The fourth daughter was Wang Yan. Originally, the Wang Family only had six daughters, but after she Awakened the Star Moon Royal Body, she instantly became the personal Disciple of the Jade Maiden Palace’s Palace Mistress, becoming the Wang Family’s greatest reliance, and also causing the Wang Family’s six daughters to become seven!

The remaining three daughters, due to their young age, had always been hidden by the Marquis’s residence, but to be elevated to the position of the Wang Family’s seven daughters, they clearly had unique qualities!

Now that the Wang Family was willing to marry Wang Yanan over, it wasn't impossible. After all, the martial Dao Realm doesn't require one to only marry one person!

Of course, that was his thought, but he didn't know what Xu Qing thought!

If Wang Yan were to marry over, as an Elder, he would persuade Xu Qing to marry her, but for Wang Yanan, to be honest, her Aptitude was a bit lacking. As the Young Lord’s first wife, she was a bit inferior!

Now that the other party wanted Xu Yuan, there was no such trouble. He looked at the bewildered Xu Yuan and couldn't help but smile!

“I cannot make the decision on this matter. I need to report to the Young Lord!”

“Of course!” Wang Boyong smiled.

Xu Song nodded, then took out a profound yellow token.

Wang Boyong was somewhat curious. He had seen people use Jade Slips for communication, but it was his first time seeing a token capable of transmitting messages.

At this moment, inside the Clan Chief’s main hall, Xu Qing looked at the profound yellow token in his hand, somewhat amused.

“No wonder they all say that you, Wang Changfeng, are good at maneuvering and investing!”

Xu Qing still understood this person who almost became his father-in-law. Although the Wang Family was a millennium-old great clan and a Golden Force, among the Chu Dynasty, their foundation was among the weakest.

However, relying on Wang Changfeng’s careful investments, the three daughters who married out made the Wang Family untouchable in the Chu Dynasty, and after Wang Yan’s rise, this small Golden Family, the Wang Family, even ordinary Profound King-level forces dared not offend!

Under such circumstances, Wang Changfeng could still restrain his clansmen, which was truly rare!

And regarding the annulment of the engagement with him, he didn’t use forceful means. From this point, one could see that Wang Changfeng was a very extraordinary person, and such a Wang Family would undoubtedly occupy a place in the Ming Domain in the future!

Of course, even if the Wang Family became the overlord of the Ming Domain, he didn’t care. The Xu Family’s path was not in the Ming Domain, but in the vast world beyond the Domain!

【Ding! Detected that the Wang Family possesses the Ming Domain Luck’s blessing. Subdue the Wang Family, support the Wang Family, control the Ming Domain, obtain the Ming Domain Luck’s blessing, and condense the Golden Dragon Clan Luck!】

【Reward: One Profound Venerable Realm Identity Card, ten Venerating Realm Identity Cards, one Elementary Venerable Grade Origin Vein, five Low Grade Origin Crystal Veins, one top-tier Imperial Grade Cultivation Technique, Eight Trigrams Innate Art, one Profound Venerable Divine Ability, and three Venerable Grade Divine Abilities!】

“Tsk!”

“I didn’t expect even the heavens to be helping the Wang Family. No wonder the System previously indicated that Wang Yan was the Child of Ming Domain Luck, and even this Wang Family has the Ming Domain Luck’s blessing!”

“Little brother! Make a sacrifice, big brother will arrange a good marriage for you!”

With this thought, Xu Qing no longer hesitated and sent out a message.

He wanted to invite Wang Boyong here. Since he was going to subdue the Wang Family, he might as well show off some of the Xu Family’s foundation!

Xu Song, who received Xu Qing’s reply, smiled, and Wang Boyong, seeing this, was overjoyed.

On the other hand, Xu Yuan had a bad premonition.

“Steward Wang, my Young Lord wishes to see you. Please move a step and follow me to the Clan Land!” Xu Song said with a smile.

“Clan Land?” Wang Boyong looked puzzled.

“Exactly! My Xu Family is not in Xu City, but the entire Clan is in the Clan Land. You will know when Steward Wang arrives!” Xu Song said with a smile.

“Alright!”

Although Wang Boyong had doubts in his heart, Xu Qing wanting to see him meant that this marriage proposal was almost a certainty.

Furthermore, he wanted to see Xu Qing. He guessed that the Xu Family had a secret, and perhaps on this trip, he could uncover some of those secrets.

Since the Silver Armor Army rode Silver-backed Azure Wolves, their speed was very fast, arriving at Cloud Mist Mountain in less than half an hour.
