Chapter 207: Chapter 205 Engagement (4)

Looking at the aggrieved Yi Mu, who was crying sorrowfully, Yi Zhantian, who loved his daughter dearly, couldn’t help but question Yan Rufeng.

"Rufeng, if you have no intentions towards Mumu, please stay away from her!"

Yan Rufeng felt very distressed and said, "Uncle Yi, I think there’s been a misunderstanding. In my homeland, Huaxia, girls are not allowed to marry before the age of twenty!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhantian suddenly remembered that Yan Rufeng had mentioned it before and said, "Rufeng is right. You did say that in your homeland, girls can only marry when they turn twenty."

Yan Rufeng said, "Uncle Yi, you are correct. At this moment, Mumu is still underage. If I were to defy conventions and marry an underage Mumu, I would undoubtedly be condemned by many."

Yi Hong then said, "Not getting married will avoid condemnation as well. Grandpa will make the decision for you. Let Mumu wait for five more years."

Yi Mu quickly responded, "Grandpa, let’s follow the customs of his homeland. I am willing to wait for him for five years!"

Yi Mu’s willingness to wait gave Yan Rufeng a bit of comfort.

"Mumu, rest assured, I, Yan Rufeng, will keep my word and marry you in five years!"

"Humph!"

Yi Mu snorted coldly, "You may want to marry, but I’m not sure I’ll want to marry you!"

"That’s nonsense." Yi Mu’s grandfather, Yi Hong, suddenly erupted in fury.

Yan Rufeng smiled lightly and said, "Grandfather, let’s first ask Mumu why she said that!"

"Alright, let me ask her first."

Yi Hong suddenly became kind.

"Mumu, tell Grandpa what’s on your mind?"

Yi Mu raised her head, gazing at Yan Rufeng and said boldly, "Young Master Yan, my ideal partner must be extraordinary. I don’t expect him to be omnipotent, but I want him to have a name that resounds far and wide someday."

Yan Rufeng smiled, "No problem."

"Humph!"

Yi Mu snorted twice and said, "Don’t be too complacent too early. I have a deadline."

"How long?"

"Five years. If you can’t become renowned on the Canglong Continent within five years, don’t blame me for breaking off the engagement."

"Mumu, do you want to drive your grandpa to his death?"

Yi Hong roared in anger.

"Yi Zhantian, is this the good daughter you raised!"

Yi Hong slammed the door in rage.

Yi Zhantian held back for a long time before saying, "Mumu, do you know how vast the Canglong Continent is? Putting forth this request is tantamount to directly rejecting Rufeng."

Yi Mu’s mother also said at this time, "Mumu, you must know that here, if a girl makes unreasonable demands and the engagement is canceled because of it, she is destined to never find a husband for the rest of her life. Take back what you just said."

Yi Mu responded confidently, "Mother, why should I take it back? If Yan Rufeng cannot become a renowned expert on the Canglong Continent in five years, I would rather remain alone for the rest of my life."

"Darling, listen to me this time. Don’t be so willful anymore..."

Yan Rufeng smiled gently and said, "Uncle, Aunt, there’s no need to persuade Mumu anymore. I’ll promise her."

"What?"

Yi Zhantian exclaimed, "Rufeng, the Canglong Continent is so vast. In five years, let alone becoming renowned, even a powerful expert in the Cultivation World might not be able to travel across the entire Canglong Continent. Are you sure you can fulfill Mumu’s demand in five years?"

Yan Rufeng straightened his back and said firmly, "Becoming renowned on the Canglong Continent doesn’t need five years. Three years is enough!"

"Three years?"

Yi Zhantian was dumbfounded and thought to himself, "Someone who can become renowned on the Canglong Continent in three years probably hasn’t been born yet. Who exactly is Yan Rufeng..."

Yi Zhantian thought again, "Is he a God? How could a God boast so boldly? Could it be that, as Mumu believed initially, he’s here to mess around with the Yi Family? But if that’s the case, why did he give us the Heaven-defying Technique for cultivation? Yan Rufeng is truly an enigma..."

"Hehe..."

Yi Mu laughed happily.

"Such determination!"

The long-lost smile reappeared on Yi Mu’s face.

"My husband Yi Mu must have the aura of a king who rules the world."

"Sigh..."

Yi Mu’s mother sighed and said, "What has happened to these two kids? Have they gone mad?"

Yi Mu’s bell-like laughter rang out again.

"Hehe..."

"Brother Rufeng, just for what you said earlier, I’ve decided. From now on, no matter where you go, I, Yi Mu, will follow you and witness your journey to fame!"

Yan Rufeng finally felt elated.

"Good!"

"Mumu, let’s now go to Dragon Abyss Sect and rescue Great-Grandfather!"

"Hehe!"

Yi Mu giggled, "Brother Rufeng, it’s so dark, I’m really scared. You have to lead the way."

Yan Rufeng clasped his hands towards Yi Mu’s parents and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I’ll take Mumu to Dragon Abyss Sect now to rescue Great-Grandfather from dire straits."

Yi Zhantian was astonished and thought, "Mumu, this change is too rapid. Why is she so happy with what Yan Rufeng said, which seemed so unreliable..."

"Old man, what are you thinking? Rufeng is bidding us farewell."

Yi Mu’s mother’s voice rang in Yi Zhantian’s ear.

Yi Zhantian then saw that Yan Rufeng had already walked to Mumu’s side, and Mumu was holding onto Yan Rufeng’s arm, smiling happily.

"Ahem..."

Yi Zhantian coughed lightly and raised his voice, "Yan Family boy, I now formally hand my daughter over to you. If I hear from Mumu that you’ve mistreated her in any way, I’ll chop you to pieces!"

Yi Zhantian’s last words were almost shouted, but at this moment, he turned his back and couldn’t stop his tears from falling.

Yan Rufeng bowed and said, "Uncle, rest assured. I, Yan Rufeng, promise you that Mumu will never suffer in any way. If Mumu is wronged outside, I swear to make her tormentor vanish from existence!"

Facing away from Yan Rufeng and Yi Mu, Yi Zhantian said, "Go now, and quickly reach Dragon Abyss Sect to rescue Great-Grandfather. I won’t see you off."

Yi Zhantian’s voice choked up. Yi Mu noticed something was wrong and quickly asked, "Father, what’s wrong with you?"

Yi Zhantian paused and then hurriedly shouted, "What’s wrong with me? If you don’t leave now, I’ll chase you away!"

Yi Mu’s mother also said at this time, "Mumu, just go with Rufeng. I’m here with your father."

Yan Rufeng naturally saw that Yi Zhantian couldn’t bear to let Yi Mu leave the Yi Family. To prevent Yi Mu from feeling more sorrow, Yan Rufeng grabbed Yi Mu’s hand and led her out the door.

When Yi Mu looked back, she suddenly saw her parents wiping their tears.

"Father, Mother..."
