Shangguan Xiong has been dead for less than three years. Although they are still in mourning, it is still possible to arrange a marriage.
Bian Lang's arrival immediately prompted him to propose marriage, leaving Shangguan Hongyu at a loss.
Although Bian Lang understood Shangguan Hongyu's intentions, this matter was of great importance and he indeed needed to consult Shangguan Hongyu's opinion first.
"Hongyu, I'm serious, are you willing?" Bian Lang suddenly grasped Shangguan Hongyu's hands.
Shangguan Hongyu lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and said shyly, "I...of course I'm willing, it's just that my mother's..."
"I disagree." The Iron Lady's cold voice suddenly came from outside.
The servants pushed the Iron Lady into the main hall and then quickly withdrew.
“Mother…” Shangguan Hongyu was truly startled.
Bian Lang looked up and smiled, "Greetings, Auntie."
"How long do you plan to keep holding hands?" The Iron Lady's gaze fell on the two men's hands.
Shangguan Hongyu looked down and quickly pulled her hand away, her face turning even redder.
“Master Bian, you are very good, but you are ultimately a corpse driver. Do you understand what I mean?” Iron Lady was very grateful for what Bian Lang had done for Justice Fortress.
Without Bian Lang, Justice Fortress would not have its current reputation.
But she couldn't marry her daughter to Bian Lang just because of that.
Bian Lang nodded and said, "Does Aunt mean that I am not good enough for Hong Yu?"
“Your understanding is correct.” The Iron Lady nodded.
Shangguan Hongyu is, after all, the lord of the Righteous Fortress, and the Righteous Fortress is destined to rule the entire martial arts world. As the lord of the fortress, how could she marry a corpse driver?
If this marriage goes through, it will give the impression that Justice Fortress will always be inferior to Corpse-Driving Inn.
"Mother, this is my business, don't interfere." Shangguan Hongyu's face was still red, but now it wasn't because of shyness, but because of anger.
If it weren't for Bian Lang, how could she have avenged her father's death?
Without Bian Lang, how could Justice Fortress have achieved its current status?
Her heart was already with Bian Lang, and she could no longer look at any other man.
Even her own mother couldn't control her marriage.
"Marriage is a major event, and it has always been decided by parents and arranged by matchmakers. Now that your father is gone, I, as your mother, have to help you choose the right person." In the Iron Lady's mind, her ideal son-in-law must at least be the successor of a major martial arts sect.
Bian Lang is quite good, but he's very different from what she expected.
Shangguan Hongyu snorted coldly, too lazy to argue with the Iron Lady, and grabbed Bian Lang's hand, saying, "Brother Bian, I'll show you around."
Bian Lang last came to Zhengyi Fortress to transport corpses; this time he's here as a guest, so we must treat him well and not neglect him.
"That's just how my mother is. Don't take her words to heart, Brother Bian," Shangguan Hongyu said angrily as she walked out of the main hall.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "If I had a daughter, I definitely wouldn't want to marry her off to a corpse driver."
Many things can be understood if you put yourself in the other person's shoes.
Justice Fortress is very large, and the scenery inside is also very charming.
They had only walked halfway when a servant rushed over and whispered something in their ear.
"If you have something to do, go ahead and take care of it," Bian Lang said with a smile.
Shangguan Hongyu said, "Brother Bian, I'll come find you again later."
After walking a few steps, she turned back and said, "Brother Bian, why don't you go over and help me calm down?"
There's no problem with the border waves.
On the way to the main hall, Shangguan Hongyu briefly explained the situation.
The ones who came to cause trouble in the fortress were the Broken Sword Sect.
Broken Sword Gate is only a few dozen miles away from Justice Fortress.
The land where Justice Fortress is located was purchased by Shangguan Xiong from the Broken Sword Sect.
After Shangguan Xiong's death, the Broken Sword Sect sent people over several times, wanting to reclaim this land.
According to the contract, this land will belong to Justice Castle permanently.
However, the Broken Sword Sect produced another contract, stating that once Shangguan Xiong died, the land would be returned to the Broken Sword Sect.
Anyone with eyes can see that the contract that the Broken Sword Sect produced was definitely a forgery.
No one in the world would sign such a contract.
As the saying goes, a good horse is ridden, and a kind person is bullied; Shangguan Hongyu has been enduring this situation.
However, the Broken Sword Sect's actions became increasingly outrageous, and this time, she was not going to tolerate it.
The Broken Sword Sect was just a small sect in the martial arts world, and she was confident that she could destroy it on her own. Now that Bian Lang was by her side, her confidence was even greater.
In the main hall sat three people, all middle-aged men in their early forties.
The three men were dressed in brocade robes, with long swords at their waists, and their eyes were fierce.
The man in the lead had a large black mole on his nose; he was none other than Zhao Yizhong, the leader of the Broken Sword Sect.
The two people sitting next to him were the two vice sect leaders of the Broken Sword Sect.
The fact that all three sect leaders were mobilized at the same time shows that the Broken Sword Sect is determined to reclaim this land.
"Greetings, three uncles." Shangguan Hongyu entered the main hall and bowed with clasped hands.
Zhao Yizhong picked up his teacup, gently blew on the tea leaves floating on the surface, and after a long while said, "Hongyu, it's not that your uncles are bullying you, but it's something that's written in black and white, and we can't..."
“Uncle Zhao, I understand.” Shangguan Hongyu sat down on the other side and gestured for Bian Lang to sit next to her.
Zhao Yizhong's tense face immediately relaxed, and he smiled and said, "Alright, alright, then sign here and move out of Justice Fortress on a chosen day."
"Uncle Zhao, can I take another look at that contract?" Shangguan Hongyu intended to tear it up as soon as she got her hands on it.
Zhao Yizhong took out the contract from his pocket and casually tossed it to Shangguan Hongyu.
Shangguan Hongyu unfolded it and glanced at it, saying, "This is not my father's handwriting."
"Is Hongyu trying to renege on her promise?" Zhao Yizhong frowned.
Shangguan Hongyu simply smiled, and with a slight exertion, the contract turned into dust.
“Shangguan Hongyu, you…” Zhao Yizhong suddenly stood up, his face filled with terrifying anger.
Shangguan Hongyu said, "You uncles are elders, yet you forged a contract to bully a weak woman like me. If this gets out into the martial arts world, I'm afraid you uncles won't look good either."
"It's alright, luckily we had the old lord sign an extra copy." A deputy sect leader next to him took out another contract from his pocket.
If you're going to forge a contract, you should make several copies to prevent this situation from happening today.
But this time, the sect leader was smarter and showed the contract to Shangguan Hongyu.
Before he could even speak, the contract that was originally in his hand was already in Bian Lang's hands.
Bian Lang handed it to Shangguan Hongyu, but Shangguan Hongyu destroyed the contract again.
"You little brat, how dare you..." Zhao Yizhong was furious and smashed the teacup in his hand at Bian Lang.
Clang.
Shangguan Hongyu drew her sword and knocked the teacup away, coldly saying, "I, Shangguan Hongyu, have always respected you as elders, but you have done such a shameless thing. From now on, if we meet again in the martial world, I will show no mercy."
"Hongyu, you said it yourself. Tomorrow, my Broken Sword Sect will come and destroy Justice Fortress." Zhao Yizhong said ruthlessly.
Shangguan Hongyu chuckled and said, "Hongyu awaits your arrival."
"Let's go." Zhao Yizhong flicked his sleeve and walked outside.
Bian Lang was speechless and asked, "Hong Yu, are we just going to let them go like that?"
