“Alright, kid. Come out. I’ll fight you one-on-one.” When Tuoba Xun heard that he could fight, he immediately walked out to provoke Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi was not a fool. He knew that he could not defeat him, so how could he agree to this? “Tsk… Do you think I’m afraid of you? I dare you to touch me. Come on, hit me!”
Tuoba Xun gritted his teeth in anger. He wished he could kill this b*tch.
Tuoba Hong saw that the situation was getting more and more complicated. He looked deeply at Zhao Yi and said unhappily, “Crown Prince, we’re here to get married in Liyang. Is this the etiquette of your Liyang? I think… it’s fine not to get married.”
Zhao Yi shrugged with an indifferent expression. The marriage alliance was just a binding strategy. No matter how many times the marriage alliance was, it could not be stopped if the two dynasties really went to war.
“My father only asked me to come out and welcome you. He didn’t say that he wanted me to solve your problem. I’m the Crown Prince, not a hired thug. This is your own fault. If you don’t even have the ability to resolve this, how can I feel at ease giving my sister to you?”
“You…” Tuoba Xun was furious. Was Zhao Yi questioning Oceanic’s strength?
Tuoba Hong was also furious at this moment. He flung his sleeves angrily and said with a gloomy face, “Hmph… Does that mean that Your Highness doesn’t want to interfere in this matter anymore? Good, very good. I’ve finally seen Liyang’s hospitality today.”
Zhao Yi’s face darkened when he heard this.
For a moment, the atmosphere was in a deadlock. At this moment, the white figure in the sky finally landed.
Everyone’s hearts trembled as they looked over.
Tuoba Hong’s fear was none other than Ye Qiu. Otherwise… he would have killed Xiao Yi with a single palm.
“Senior.” When Xiao Yi saw that Ye Qiu had finally appeared, he immediately hid behind him. To be honest, he was really afraid that Tuoba Hong would get angry and slap him to death. He felt safer standing behind the big shot.
Ye Qiu slowly walked over and stopped beside Tuoba Xun. He looked at him with a strange expression, causing Tuoba Xun to break out in cold sweat.
“You… are the Prince of Oceanic?”
Tuoba Xun’s heart skipped a beat, and he said with a trembling voice, “Yes, Senior. What can I do for you?”
Ye Qiu finally saw the legendary marriage partner of his second disciple. To be honest, he was disappointed.
“Not really, but this marriage of yours is probably going to be ruined.” Ye Qiu said calmly. Unknowingly, that cold sword intent had already set up a sword formation in all directions. It made everyone feel like they were facing death. The sword intent from a peak-level Cardinal was definitely not something they could withstand.
“Senior, what do you mean?” Tuoba Xun’s face was gloomy. Even though he was very afraid, he couldn’t help but ask. What did his marriage have to do with Ye Qiu?
Ye Qiu looked at him indifferently and slowly said, “Because… the person you’re marrying is my disciple. I… disagree with this marriage.”
“What…”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned. Even Zhao Yi was stunned. When did his sister become Ye Qiu’s disciple?
Tuoba Xun’s expression was ugly, and so was Tuoba Hong. He glared at Zhao Yi. Why didn’t he inform them in advance since Zhao Wan’er had already entered the immortal holy land? They received such news when they had entered the Liyang border with great fanfare and came for the marriage alliance. Wasn’t this playing with them?
Zhao Yi did not know about this. He was startled and pleasantly surprised. The corners of Zhao Yi’s mouth curled up slightly as he revealed a delighted smile. He muttered, “Looks like… Wan’er has found good support.”
From Ye Qiu’s tone just now, he seemed to be very protective of Zhao Wan’er and denied this marriage. Zhao Yi really did not expect Zhao Wan’er to be so lucky to find such a master who would protect her. Once these words came out of his mouth, this marriage was basically over.
This was because Ye Qiu’s strength was so terrifying, and his status was definitely not weak. Even if Oceanic wanted her, it was impossible. She was not in the palace. If you have the ability, go up the mountain and snatch her yourself.
Zhao Yi smiled from the bottom of his heart. During this period of time, he had been worried about Zhao Wan’er’s safety and was even more anxious about her whereabouts. He had sent spies to investigate her many times, but there had never been any trace of her.
Zhao Yi finally heaved a sigh of relief now that he knew that Zhao Wan’er had already acknowledged Ye Qiu as her master.
Ye Qiu calmly looked at Tuoba Xun and continued, “This matter ends here. If you’re not convinced and want to snatch her, feel free to look for me.”
Tuoba Hong’s expression was serious as he said, “May I ask who you are?”
Ye Qiu didn’t even turn his head and said, “Heaven Mending Sect, Violet Cloud Peak’s master, Ye Qiu…”
“What…”
“Heaven Mending Sect…”
Zhao Yi’s expression was solemn and his tone became tense. Even Tuoba Hong revealed a shocked expression.
“Heaven Mending Sect! This person is actually from the Heaven Mending Sect and is even the master of Violet Cloud Peak…”
“Uncle, is this Heaven Mending Sect very strong?” Tuoba Xun said with a blank expression. He had been deep in the palace all year round and did not know much about the outside world.
Tuoba Hong slowly explained, “Yes, very strong! The Heaven Mending Sect is one of the ancient Daoist sects. It doesn’t belong to the sphere of influence of any dynasty and has been passed down for many years. Its strength is extraordinary.
“Back then, the Heaven Mending Sect once produced a top expert, the previous peak master of Violet Cloud Peak, Daoist Xuantian. This person can be said to be a peak existence in the mortal world. His swordsmanship is divine.
“You must have seen the strength of the ferocious Heaven Swallowing Sparrow that appeared last night. He was the one who expelled the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow into the uninhabited region back then.”
At this point, Tuoba Hong’s eyes dimmed as he recalled the fear of being dominated by Daoist Xuantian. He thought that the Heaven Mending Sect was no longer arrogant when Daoist Xuantian passed away.
Unexpectedly, Violet Cloud Peak had a new peak master. Moreover, this person’s strength had already reached the peak of the Cardinal realm. He was already half a step into the Paragon realm judging from his aura.
Tuoba Hong felt that it was unbelievable. Could it be that the Heaven Mending Sect was going to produce another top expert like Daoist Xuantian?
After hearing his uncle’s explanation, Tuoba Xun’s heart was like dead ashes. He knew very well that his marriage was really going to be ruined. What could he do even if he was unwilling when faced with such an expert? Would his father dare to challenge the authority of the Heaven Mending Sect?
Any dynasty’s power seemed very small in front of such an ancient orthodoxy. Even if there were other famous holy lands behind the dynasty, they could not offend the Heaven Mending Sect for such a small matter.
This world had always been a world where the strong were respected.
“Uncle Feng, have you heard of him?” Zhao Yi asked Zhao Qifeng softly.
Zhao Qifeng stroked his beard and said earnestly, “I’ve heard that Violet Cloud Peak’s Ye Qiu is a famous expert. He once almost killed three Immortal Mountain elders with a single strike. It’s still circulating to this day. It seemed like it would be better for the princess to become his disciple. Perhaps, we could take this opportunity to improve our relationship with the Heaven Mending Sect.
“Your Highness, this is much better than a marriage alliance with Oceanic.”
Zhao Qifeng was a little surprised as he spoke to this point. He did not expect that the little girl would give them such a big surprise without saying a word.
Zhao Yi also understood this and knew what to do. “Yes, I have to discuss this with Father after I return. I think with Father’s intelligence, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to see the pros and cons.”
