Yang Yao asked everyone to sit down first, took a sip of tea, and asked Qi Zhiheng, "Zhiheng, this is also your marriage. What are your thoughts?"
Qi Zhiheng pondered for a moment and said, "This marriage is probably hard to refuse. The steward by Madam Xue's side is a Spirit General."
Yang Yao nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, since even the matriarch of the Yang family has been persuaded, it's clear that we have no room to refuse this marriage. Most families in the city value their reputation, and if we were to refuse, we would be offending them, and our Qi family's future might not be so bright. Yuan Xue brought a manager who is at the late stage of the Spirit General realm, which is also meant to intimidate us."
Yang Yao was more worried about why the Yang family, who had always looked down on families of humble origins, would take the initiative to propose that their daughter marry into the family. She thought to herself that it would be best to send someone to Qianshi City to investigate.
"Grandma, I understand. Actually, marrying a girl from the city is quite good. I'll have a lot of face when people talk about it. It's a good thing." To be honest, Qi Zhiheng wasn't really happy about this marriage. It was just that Yuan Xue's attitude of "I'm doing you a favor by taking a liking to your grandson" made Qi Zhiheng very uncomfortable. Besides, even if the Yang family's girls weren't very good-looking, they wouldn't have trouble finding husbands. Why would they think of marrying someone to someone from the town? There must be a reason behind it.
However, due to the circumstances, the less resistance Qi Zhiheng showed, the more he could reassure his family. In his previous life, Qi Zhiheng never married and didn't have much expectation for a wife. As long as Yang Yiqian could behave herself, it didn't matter who he married.
Qi Zhiheng reassured his family, and after negotiating with Yuan Xue, they naturally got engaged and exchanged tokens of their love.
After receiving the marriage certificate, Yuan Xue set off back to the city that very day.
Two days later, news of Qi Zhiheng's engagement to the young lady from Qianshi City spread in small circles.
Many people envied her, while others were sour.
Chen Taohai was one of those who hated Qi Zhiheng to the core; Chen Taohai had never liked Qi Zhiheng.
Qi Zhiheng's family was small and had a weak foundation, but because of Qi Wantian, other families in the town showed him some deference.
Chen Taohai felt that the Chen family's wealth was many times greater than the Qi family's, yet he was to be on equal footing with Qi Zhiheng, which made him extremely unhappy.
Originally, Qi Zhiheng was just an ordinary person like him, but somehow he got lucky and awakened a spiritual body, which Chen Taohai found even more unacceptable.
"When can we make our move?" Chen Taohai said to Xu Jin through gritted teeth. "I'm not happy just seeing how smug he is."
“Young Master Chen, this matter cannot be rushed. In less than a month, we will be able to take action. How can Qi Zhiheng compare to a man of such integrity as Young Master Chen? The more glorious he is now, the more miserable he will appear after his defeat.”
Chen Taohai's anger subsided slightly after hearing this, and he nodded in satisfaction, quite pleased with Xu Jin's humble and submissive demeanor.
He didn't think much of Xu Jin, a concubine's son from a humble family, but because Xu Jin's advice helped him defeat Qi Zhiheng several times, he reluctantly accepted such a "confidant".
Qi Zhiheng's attitude towards Yang Yiqian is: neither dislike nor resentful.
He didn't care much about having a fiancée. He was currently weak and his health problems were still unresolved. He had grudges to settle and didn't have the energy to focus on a fiancée he had never met.
He would meet his fiancée again when he had completed his cultivation. If she was a good person, he could marry her. So the matter was put aside for the time being.
