Chapter 567: Chapter 404 Conclusion (Please Subscribe)_3

Shangguan Yu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said,

“Brother Chen, are you truly not considering my younger sister?”

In terms of the affection Chen Yuan showed him, Shangguan Yu found it difficult to reciprocate. Now, he could only offer his sister in marriage, to establish a tie—a connection that would make it impossible for the Shangguan Family not to get involved.

Of course, he also trusted Chen Yuan’s character, preferring to entrust Shangguan Hong to Chen’s care rather than marrying her into another family.

Moreover, if Chen Yuan really married his sister, wouldn’t that immediately elevate him to the status of Chen Yuan’s elder brother?

Chen Yuan waved his hand and said,

“Brother Shangguan, do not mention this matter again.”

Shangguan Hong was certainly attractive and talented, but she lacked what Chen Yuan desired; she could not aid his cultivation, and there was no need to take her. Moreover, Shangguan Hong was unlike Lady Xu.

With the backing of the Shangguan Family, if Chen Yuan took her in, could he really not give her a rightful status?

Even if not for the Shangguan Family, out of respect for Shangguan Yu’s face, could Chen Yuan really deny her a status? Taking her would be more disadvantageous than beneficial. Furthermore, Chen Yuan was never the type to be swayed by the sight of a woman, needing to think with his lower half. He weighed the pros and cons.

Further, women would only hinder his ability to draw his sword.

“This….”

“Brother Shangguan must also understand the reasons I have mentioned, so I will not elaborate further. Your sister is extraordinarily talented and beautiful, why must she necessarily be promised to me?”

Shangguan Yu opened his mouth to say something but was suddenly interrupted by Zhang Xuan.

“Brother Chen is right. What great man has ever lacked a wife? I see Brother Chen is wholly devoted to the path, uninterested in this matter. Brother Shangguan, let’s not bring this up again.”

“Zhang, I know there are eligible women in your family too. Just a few days ago, you wanted to propose a marriage alliance to me, and now you’re telling me not to bring it up anymore?”

Shangguan Yu huffed.

Zhang Xuan touched his nose and said in a low voice,

“Do not blame me, Brother Shangguan. I was merely joking.”

“Brother Zhang… you….”

Zhang Xuan laughed awkwardly and said,

“Brother Chen, as the saying goes, one should establish his family before embarking on a career. You cannot only focus on yourself; you must also think about expanding your family’s lineage.

As the sole successor of your family, how can you not…”

He laughed again and said,

“I have a cousin, a beauty beyond compare and intelligent from the inside out, the perfect candidate for the Chen Family’s main wife. If not, taking Shangguan Hong as a concubine would also do.

Rest assured, once you are allied with my Zhang Family, in the future…”

“Zhang, I challenge you to a duel!”

Shangguan Yu said sternly.

“Enough, let’s stop joking. I have always kept away from women, I’m afraid I’ve disappointed you both,” Chen Yuan flatly refused, and his statement was actually not wrong.

He indeed distanced himself from women—it was the women who approached him…

Zhang Xuan laughed heartily, breaking the previously tense atmosphere. Of course, his earlier words were not mere aimless chatter; they had substantial truth.

He indeed had a cousin, and his father had indeed hinted at forming an alliance with Chen Yuan.

Being at the top of the Hidden Dragon List undoubtedly made him a highly desirable son-in-law within Jianghu. If news of Chen Yuan wanting to marry spread, countless forces would eagerly seek him out.

An absolutely top-quality choice indeed.

In Jianghu, maintaining the rise and fall of a family involves not only the cultivation of the younger disciples but also strengthening power through mutual marriage alliances and drawing in exceptionally talented martial artists.

Chen Yuan was well aware of this.

Regardless of the unfriendly relations between Shangguan Yu, Gu He, and Yun Han, these noble families and sects still maintained some level of contact throughout the ages, as always.

As they were casually talking, after being notified, Ye Chenbai came up with a smile, hands clasped together, and happily said,

“So all of you are here, saving me quite a bit of trouble.”

“What brings you here, Brother Ye?”

“Nothing much, mainly to thank Brother Chen.” Ye Chenbai’s face was filled with a smile. Chen Yuan had topped the Hidden Dragon List,

and, as his sponsor, Ye Chenbai had benefited greatly.

Not only had the resources of his family begun to tilt towards him, but his status and position had also significantly improved. He was even allowed to enter the family’s secret realm to cultivate in a few days.

He would significantly advance his cultivation in a short period of time.

Just before, when Chen Yuan entered the secret realm to collect Immortal Spirit Qi, the usually elusive City Lord Ye Xiangnan had actually met with him!

This was no small honor.

In Martial Emperor City, Ye Xiangnan was almost equivalent to the Emperor, and the Ye Family also flourished with many descendants. Being a collateral family member, Ye Chenbai was not highly regarded.

Since his birth, he had only interacted with Ye Xiangnan a few times at close range.

After reaching adulthood, he had never been summoned, and this was the first time. The first thing Ye Xiangnan asked when he saw him was not about his cultivation or other matters,

but about Chen Yuan, asking about his relationship with Chen Yuan.

The clever Ye Chenbai understood what Ye Xiangnan meant—he was hinting at him to connect more with such an outstanding person like Chen Yuan, to strengthen their relationship. Fortunately, he and Chen Yuan shared similar aspirations and had a good relationship.

So now, he naturally came to express his gratitude.

“Brother Ye, there’s no need for such courtesies, as you and I both benefit; there’s nothing to thank.” Speaking frankly, Ye Chenbai had indeed helped him with a few small favors. Now that there was an opportunity to return the favor, it wasn’t a big deal.

After all, Ye Chenbai was from the Ye Family, and maintaining a good relationship with him posed no harm to Chen Yuan.

“Brother Chen is very noble, but no matter what, we are in Martial Emperor City, which is Brother Ye’s territory. Due to the Ascension Battle, I couldn’t entertain you properly previously. I have prepared for several days, arranged a fine feast beforehand, and I urge you all not to decline. Knowing that you all will be leaving soon, I don’t know when we will meet again, so we must drink heartily.” Ye Chenbai laughed heartily.

“Good, then let us taste the feast Brother Ye has prepared,” Shangguan Yu said.

“I’ve heard that Martial Emperor City has many rare delicacies; today seems to be an opportunity to verify that,” Zhang Xuan commented with a laugh.

“That’s fine, consider this a farewell meal then.”

“It won’t disappoint any of you. Oh, and also, there is one more small matter for which I’ve come to find Brother Chen,” Ye Chenbai said softly with a smile, shifting his gaze slightly before suddenly bringing it up.

“Speak freely, Brother Ye.”

“Just now, upon entering the Ascending Immortal Tower, someone asked me to relay a message to Brother Chen, saying it’s from the Yagyu Family of Japan…”
