49: A promise is a promise, double happiness comes (picture)

"Hey, hey, hey, Ling Wu, don't rush! This matter is too important; you must be the one to complete it!"

Zhao Lingwu's expression turned serious.

"Speak. What exactly is it?"

Zhao Yi looked around and walked into the courtyard.

"It's like this..."

Zhao Yi explained the whole situation, and then he was directly thrown out of the courtyard, or rather, he was thrown out.

"Zhao Yi, if you don't want to die, give up your damned idea. Otherwise, even if Father comes, I'll still beat you!" Zhao Lingwu said, standing at the door.

Then, with a "bang," the door closed.

"Good, good for you, Zhao Lingwu! You don't even listen to the Family Head's words, do you? Fine, then I'll call the old man over and see if you truly have the strength!"

...

"Still no good. Even with your Physique supplying Spiritual Qi, I still can't Breakthrough. I'll have to think of another way!" Chen Xuan gently stroked Chen Wenwen's hair.

The latter didn't say anything comforting. She had already given her all and was now exhausted, only wanting to sleep, not Cultivate.

"You rest well. Your husband will go for a stroll." Chen Xuan kissed her forehead.

Chen Wenwen wanted to follow, but she was too tired, so she had to give up.

"She really is a clingy little vixen, and quite the jealous one too. This time, I finally managed to assert my husband's authority!"

Afterward, Chen Xuan stretched and walked out of his courtyard.

Suddenly, he saw two figures flying out of the opposite courtyard, an old man and a middle-aged man. He focused his gaze and saw that one of them was Zhao Yi!

"Ow! You brat! How can my old bones withstand such a fall!"

"Exactly! As the Family Head of the Zhao Family, she has thrown me twice already today!"

"Father! Please control her!" Zhao Yi's mindset exploded, and he quickly got up, clutching his backside and yelling.

"Old man, how dare you say that? You actually told me to seduce...! And you want me to marry him? That's simply absurd! If you want to marry, you two marry!" Zhao Lingwu cursed with a furious expression.

"This is an opportunity the Family rarely sees in a hundred years. If we seize it, won't our future be..." Zhao Yi spoke of his grand vision.

"Hmph, I don't care. In any case, I will not marry him!" Zhao Lingwu said.

While Zhao Yi was about to say something else, he was directly interrupted by Chen Xuan: "Family Head Zhao, what is going on here? In this Zhao Family, how can anyone dare to speak to you like that?"

"Uh, so it's Chen... my brother! This is a long story!"

"You are Chen Xuan? You truly are a talented and heroic young man!" Before Zhao Yi could explain, Zhao Weiwu, next to him, spoke up.

"You are...?"

"Oh, let me introduce you, my young friend. This is my father, and also the previous Family Head of the Zhao Family. However, he spends most of his time in seclusion. We only invite him out when we, the younger generation, cannot solve a problem." Zhao Yi explained.

"So it's the Old Family Head. I've heard much about you!"

"Not at all, not at all. Now it's the era of you young people."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two began their formal conversation.

"I wonder what major event has happened to the Zhao Family that required your presence, honored elder?"

"Alas, it's still my daughter. She's still all alone. I, this old man, don't have much time left, so I just want to hold my grand-grandson before I go!" Zhao Weiwu's eyes darted, and he spoke.

"So it's about urging marriage. But why would she just... throw both of you out?"

"Why? She doesn't know what's good for her!" Zhao Yi grew angrier as he spoke, slamming his hand on the ground.

"Zhao Yi, shut up!" Zhao Lingwu suddenly appeared before everyone, glaring fiercely at Zhao Yi.

Chen Xuan turned his head to look. What first caught his eye was Zhao Lingwu's voluptuous and graceful figure, with a slender and soft waistline and rounded, firm hips, showcasing perfect body curves.

Her legs were long and straight, outlining alluring body lines. Her skin was fair and translucent, like a perfect work of art.

Her beauty was also comparable to a Heavenly Immortal, captivating and moving. Like a fairy descending to the mortal world, she was dazzling to behold.

"Father, look what your daughter has become!"

"Hey, girl, don't be so quick to get angry. Your father and your brother are doing this for your own good, aren't they!" Zhao Weiwu said with a chuckle.

"Old man, I've already said it. I will not marry him!" Zhao Lingwu said firmly.

"Why is that? He's not bad either. Such an excellent young man, and his relationship with our Zhao Family is not shallow. Wouldn't it be better if you married him?"

"Even if he's excellent, it's impossible for me to pledge myself to him just because he has a good relationship with our Zhao Family, is it?"

"Ling Wu, you're wrong to say that. Do you know his background?" Zhao Yi suddenly interjected.

"Of course, I know, but what does that matter? I haven't even met him, and you want me to marry him? Dream on!" Zhao Lingwu glared at Zhao Yi.

"You mean if you meet him then..."

"Impossible!" Just as Zhao Weiwu was about to play word games, Zhao Lingwu cut him off.

'I didn't expect the Zhao Family to have such a great beauty, and no one told me! And they even said to let her marry another man! No, I must stop this!'

Seeing this, Chen Xuan spoke: "Family Head Zhao, actually, Miss Ling Wu has her own ideas. I think her wishes should be respected. Forcing her might be counterproductive."

"This..." Zhao Weiwu showed a troubled expression. Anyone could persuade, but why was Chen Xuan trying to persuade?

"Exactly! This young man is right; you should respect my wishes! The most basic condition for me to marry is that he can defeat me! You want me to marry a good-for-nothing? I'd rather you just kill me!"

"Girl, don't be willful. This matter is truly very serious! It even concerns the survival of our Zhao Family! If it were an easy problem to solve, I, this old man, wouldn't have personally come out to ask you!"

Zhao Lingwu: "..."

'What kind of matter could be so serious as to concern the survival of the Zhao Family?! Should I prepare myself? If anything happens, I'll run first!' Chen Xuan frowned.

Zhao Lingwu also fell silent. She wasn't an unreasonable person; she was just letting off steam earlier. After all, no one would like it if someone suddenly told them to marry someone else for no reason!

Now that she had vented, she had to face the Zhao Family's predicament. Born into a prominent Family like the Zhao Family, she had to consider the Family's interests.

Furthermore, because her Cultivation was too high, she couldn't marry out; she had to remain in the Family.

Unless... there was a live-in son-in-law.

But she had always been a high-minded person. How could she look down on those useless live-in sons-in-law? So she had remained single until now.

Now...

"No, I still want to see him! If he's an ugly monster, I'd rather marry him!" Zhao Lingwu pointed at Chen Xuan.

"Good, good, good! It's a deal, double happiness!"
