The elder of the clan was already over sixty years old. He said with a smile, "Xiao Ji is a young and calm boy. He is a rare talent. He is more than suitable for my Hua family's girl Youyue. It is also a major event for the marriage between the two countries. I think this marriage is acceptable!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked and looked at the patriarch in surprise.

The eldest patriarch holds a high position of power in the Hua family and has a lot of say. Even he is in favor of this marriage and obviously wants to make it happen.

The second clan elder said with a smile: "After all, this matter still depends on Miss Youyue's thoughts. We might as well wait for a while. When Miss Youyue comes, we can ask her opinion."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. Although the Hua family was wealthy and powerful, and was also the leading family of cultivators in Liehuo City, they did not behave in an overly domineering manner.

Everyone secretly agreed and thought it made sense, when a somewhat sharp voice sounded: "How can a girl decide her lifelong affairs? Although Youyue is very smart, she is not familiar with the affairs of her children. Besides, girls are not very dignified. In my opinion, we should just settle this marriage and give Youyue some time to buffer."

Everyone turned their heads to look. The elders from the three clans had a stern look on their faces. They snorted at everyone's gazes, but they looked at Xiao Ji with a hint of admiration.

"Is the Third Clan Elder going to decide Yue'er's lifelong relationship?"

A clear voice rang out in the meeting room, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Hua Youyue walked slowly towards Hua Jingshan and said respectfully, "Father!"

"My fellow elders!" Hua Youyue's actions were flawless as she greeted the four elders in turn.

Hua Jingshan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yue'er, please stay aside for now. Don't worry, your wish is the wish of the Hua family. Father will not embarrass you. But you might as well listen to what the national teacher and Xiao Ji have to say."

The elders of the three tribes snorted coldly and turned their heads away, obviously dissatisfied.

Hua Youyue smiled, nodded and stepped aside. There was always a faint smile on her face and no one could tell what she was thinking from her expression.

The Imperial Master smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Today's event is a cause of great joy, so there is no need for you to be so solemn. In that case, let Xiao Ji speak."

Everyone naturally turned their eyes to Xiao Ji. Even Hua Youyue glanced at Xiao Ji with a strange look in her eyes.

She had never seen Xiao Ji, but she had only heard that the national master of Dajiang had a disciple who was very talented and even the king of Dajiang was amazed. Now she saw that he was indeed as talented as his reputation had said. At least she could not see any clues from his face.

For some reason, Hua Youyue suddenly thought of Yang Zhen when looking at Xiao Ji.

Yang Zhen is different from Xiao Ji. His emotions are almost all written on his face. If he is happy, he is happy; if he is angry, he is angry. Except when he is too good at pretending when he wants to trick someone, it is very easy to get along with him and there is no need to guess at all.

There was no expression on Hua Youyue's face. She could not see anything from Xiao Ji's face, and how could Xiao Ji tell that she was actually thinking about Yang Zhen.

After Xiao Ji walked out from behind the Dajiang Kingdom's State Master, he smiled and nodded at Hua Youyue, but received no response, and was stunned.

However, this did not affect Xiao Ji. He smiled slightly, looked around, and said, "I am Xiao Ji, a humble man. I have been honored by my teacher. Now, in order to fulfill my teacher's wish, I have come to propose to Miss Youyue. I was struck by her beauty and fell in love with her. Now that all the seniors are here, is there anyone who objects to this marriage?"

Xiao Ji spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and everyone present nodded secretly. Hua Jingshan was also very satisfied, not to mention the Third Elder, who smiled and nodded at Xiao Ji with a hint of praise.

Hua Youyue frowned. Who would say no at this time? Xiao Ji obviously took advantage of the status of the elders present. He asked this question knowing that they would not object because of their status. She immediately felt dissatisfied.

Xiao Ji smiled and said loudly: "Since no one objects, then..."

"Who said there was no objection?"

Hua Youyue's expression was shocked, and a light of surprise suddenly flashed in her eyes. She turned her head to look immediately.

"Yang Zhen?"

A young man dressed in ordinary clothes and somewhat lazy walked slowly into the meeting room with a teasing look on his face. He raised his hand and greeted everyone. Regardless of whether he knew them or not, he said a strange sentence: "Hi, hello!"

Everyone's eyes twitched. Who is talking to you? Do you know me? Do we know each other?

Among all the people, only Hua Youyue looked at Yang Zhen deeply, then quietly withdrew her gaze, but a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and even the sad expression on her face disappeared.

Yao Lao, who was standing next to him, widened his eyes and looked at Yang Zhen in disbelief, his mouth wide enough to swallow his fist.

"Yang Zhen? Is he the Yang Zhen who killed Yun Jie?"

"He was able to blatantly snatch a layer of world treasure from the hands of more than a dozen Jindan stage cultivators. This boy... Hey, isn't he only in the foundation building stage? How did he become the ninth level of the Hinayana stage?"

"Didn't Yang Zhen die in the Nine Realms Linglong Tower? How come he is here?"

…

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Everyone was talking about it and looking at Yang Zhen in shock. They didn't know why Yang Zhen suddenly appeared here and even spoke out against the marriage between Xiao Ji and Hua Youyue.

Who did he think she was? A kid who had earned a little fame by fooling around, now she was lawless? Hua Jingshan frowned, staring at Yang Zhen in silence, then turned his gaze to Hua Youyue who was smiling, and was stunned.

He had heard about the relationship between Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue, and knew that Hua Youyue valued Yang Zhen very much, and even directly gave Yang Zhen the status of a dark gold-level guest official.

But as everyone said, didn’t Yang Zhen die in the Nine Realms Linglong Tower? Why did he appear here?

After the noise, the entire Hua family meeting room suddenly fell into silence, and you could hear a pin drop. Everyone's eyes were on Yang Zhen or Xiao Ji.

"You are Yang Zhen, right?" Xiao Ji asked with a flash of contempt in his eyes. He looked at Yang Zhen quietly. Although his tone was not overbearing, he had a condescending attitude.

The third elder sneered at Yang Zhen. In her opinion, how could a lucky kid from a small sect compete with Xiao Ji? In fact, no one present, including Hua Youyue, was optimistic about Yang Zhen. Hua Youyue did not look down on Yang Zhen's background and strength, but the difference between the two was too big. If Yang Zhen was given ten years, he might be able to compete with Xiao Ji, but not now.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yang Zhen walked to the center of the meeting room, glanced at Xiao Ji, nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, I am Yang Zhen, you are Xiao Ji, right?"

After hearing this, there were several popping sounds in the conference room, which was unbearable.

Xiao Ji's face turned pale, and he snorted coldly, "You are so sharp-tongued!"

Yang Zhen curled his lips: "How hypocritical!"

"You...you are just pretending!"

"I...I'm going to paralyze you!"
