Chapter 2613

"Even if the head of the Wu Family came, Lu Fengyao wouldn't be afraid," Young Master Wu Xingguang said.

"Is this brat's status as noble as this Young Master's?"

"Furthermore, what kind of relationship do we even have?"

"How could you do this?" Lu Fengyao said coldly. "What I choose to do is none of your business."

"Move aside immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite. Also, there is no relationship between us, so stop trying to make yourself look important."

A roaring sound rang out, and array formations began to reveal themselves. This was, after all, the hurricane warship.

With formations densely packed, Lu Fengyao wasn't afraid of him at all. Let alone a Dao Venerable 5th Realm, even a Seventh Realm Ancestor would have to behave obediently here.

Young Master Wu Xingguang wanted to say something more.

Behind him, an old man coughed lightly, and Young Master Wu Xingguang's mouth, which had just opened, snapped shut.

He said in a low voice, "Fine. I will give Feng Yao some face, and let this matter rest."

But Lu Fengyao gave Young Master Wu Xingguang absolutely no face.

"I'll warn you one more time. If you address me like that again, I will kick you off the ship directly."

Young Master Wu Xingguang's eyes filled with anger; he snorted coldly and then left.

Before leaving, Young Master Wu Xingguang glared fiercely at Lin Moyu, as if to say, "It's all because of you."

Lin Moyu knew he had been marked, but here, he dared not act out.

Lu Fengyao opened the door and said at the same time:

"Don't mind him. Apart from being arrogant, this guy is nothing."

She wasn't worried about Young Master Wu Xingguang hearing her either; it was clear that Lu Fengyao truly didn't care about him.

Indeed, there was no need to care. Let alone Young Master Wu Xingguang, she didn't even need to care about the entire Wu Family.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Sister Feng Yao, that guy seems interested in you."

Lu Fengyao snorted disdainfully, "There are plenty of people he's interested in."

"Don't let his constant 'Young Master' title fool you. In reality, his only remaining value in the Wu Family is for marriage alliances."

Lin Moyu was slightly stunned. "Marriage alliances? But he's a man."

Lu Fengyao laughed.

"In big families like theirs, women can marry out, and men can marry into the wife's family. It's quite normal. However, this guy is a bit different; his younger brother, Wu Xingchen, is more capable."

"He has now been confirmed as the successor of the Wu Family, so this guy's status has risen slightly. He set off from the Southern Continent this time, passing through the Northern, Eastern, and Western Continents before returning to the Southern Continent—a huge detour. Guess what he plans to do next?"

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "How would I know? Just tell me, Sister Feng Yao."

Lu Fengyao slowly spat out two words: "Marriage proposal!"

Chapter 3325: If You Can't Marry, Then Marry Into the Family

Lin Moyu was stunned for a moment. "A marriage proposal?"

Xiao Mei chimed in at this moment, "Proposing to whom?"

Lu Fengyao said, "Many people. He obtained some good items from the Demon Clan in the Northern Continent, and now he plans to return to the Southern Continent to visit the major Holy Lands, proposing to them one by one."

"According to our information, he either needs to marry a woman of suitable status to complete a factional marriage alliance, or he will marry into the wife's family. That would also complete a factional marriage alliance. His first stop upon returning to the Southern Continent is the Hanshui Holy Land."

"The Liefeng Cliff Wu Family and the Hanshui Holy Land are forces of the same level. If Young Master Wu Xingguang wants to propose, he will naturally only look for candidates among these top-tier families."

Lin Moyu said, "The Hanshui Holy Land does have precedents of clansmen marrying out. If he offers the right terms, he might actually succeed."

Lu Fengyao chuckled, "That's true, but this guy has high ambitions. Guess who he has his eyes on?"

Before Lin Moyu could guess, Xiao Mei had already interjected, "It wouldn't be the current Saint Master, would it?"

Lu Fengyao said, "He doesn't have the guts for that. Although the Hanshui Holy Land has disciples who marry out, the Saint Master never does. He wants to propose to the current Saint Master, Saint Master Gu Hanyu's own younger sister."

"Gu Hanjing." Lin Moyu immediately searched for information on Gu Hanjing.

"Saint Master Gu Hanyu's younger sister, Dao Venerable 4th Realm, with average talent. Not as good as Saint Master Gu Hanyu, but because of her, Gu Hanjing's status in the Hanshui Holy Land was not low."

"In the future, when Saint Master Gu Hanyu advances to the Dao Venerable 7th Realm and becomes a Seventh Realm Ancestor, and steps down from the position of Saint Master, Gu Hanjing's status might rise even further."

"In a force like the Hanshui Holy Land, the Saint Master is indeed the person in power. But the real power lies in the hands of the ancestors above the 7th Realm. The Saint Master is more like a spokesperson for the major force."

"When there are no major issues, the Saint Master has immense power, but once a major event occurs, the ancestors will appear, and at that point, the Saint Master must listen to them." Lin Moyu said.

"Young Master Wu Xingguang actually wants to marry Gu Hanjing? Saint Master Gu Hanyu will most likely not agree," Lin Moyu said.

Lu Fengyao said, "Indeed, but he brought some good things. He plans to go directly to the ancestors of the Hanshui Holy Land."

"If the ancestors speak, then Saint Master Gu Hanyu won't be able to say much. You saw the two people following him, right? One is called Wu Kuangfeng, the other is called Wu Kuangyu, both are Seventh Realm Ancestors."

Lin Moyu nodded. "And if the marriage proposal fails?"

Lu Fengyao said, "That's simple. He will just change his target, for example, by going to the Wen Dao Sect."

"The Wen Dao Sect's leader's lineage also has two good candidates. If he marries into the Wen Dao Sect, it means the Wen Dao Sect and the Wu Family have joined forces, which would be disadvantageous to the Hanshui Holy Land. The Wu Family has ambitions."

"They are not content to stay quiet, and they are very good at utilizing the relationships between various forces to get things done. I suspect they will use this as a condition, hoping to complete a marriage alliance with the Hanshui Holy Land."

The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce's intelligence network was incredibly powerful; they could even find out about minor, trivial matters.

Lin Moyu didn't even know how their intelligence network operated; it was truly astonishing.

After arranging everything for Lin Moyu, Lu Fengyao left temporarily; she still had many things to attend to. The door closed.

Xiao Mei giggled and said, "Teacher, if that guy really succeeds, won't you become relatives with him?"

Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "It won't succeed."

"I know Saint Master Gu Hanyu's temper; this kind of threat is useless against her. Unless her younger sister is willing herself, even if the ancestors speak, it will be useless."

Xiao Mei said "Oh," and asked, "But what if they force it?"

"In major forces, forced marriages are actually not new. Although it doesn't happen often, it does occur occasionally, under the guise of 'considering the big picture' or 'sacrificing the individual for the family's interests.'" Lin Moyu said.

"That is the Hanshui Holy Land's family business; what does it have to do with me?"

Xiao Mei giggled. "Teacher, you are also going to propose marriage this time, right? Have you prepared any gifts?"

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and realized he hadn't specially prepared anything. "I'll look for something in a while. Whatever I find, I'll use."

In another luxurious room on the hurricane warship,

Young Master Wu Xingguang said to an old man, "Ancestor Feng, do you know who that guy was just now?"

Among those traveling with Young Master Wu Xingguang this time, Wu Kuangfeng and Wu Kuangyu were two Seventh Realm Ancestors; they were brothers.

They were powerful, and if they joined forces, they would be top-tier existences among the Seventh Realm.

Wu Kuangfeng said, "That little guy has extraordinary talent, and his relationship with the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce is clearly unusual."

"You had best not provoke him."

Young Master Wu Xingguang said, "I see he is only at the Dao Venerable 4th Realm. His clothes are ordinary, and I didn't even see a decent magical treasure on him. How could he have any significant connections?"

"As far as I know, he is not among the successors of any of the major Holy Land forces."

Wu Kuangfeng's voice was low. "It is true that he is at the Dao Venerable 4th Realm, but have you ever seen a 3,000-year-old Dao Venerable 4th Realm expert?"

Young Master Wu Xingguang was stunned on the spot. "He is only 3,000 years old?"

Wu Kuangfeng said, "That's right. Such a person is more terrifying than any connection, so try your best not to provoke him."

At this moment, Wu Kuangyu on the other side also said in a low voice, "This guy is very dangerous. I feel his hidden killing intent is terrifying. The blood on his hands is more than yours and mine combined. If you clash with him, if you can't kill him,"

"the one who dies will be us."

Wu Kuangfeng said, "Don't forget the purpose of your trip. Making many powerful enemies does no good. Also, Lu Fengyao is the successor appointed by the Third Ancestor."

"She is not someone you can covet. In the future, be more polite to Lu Fengyao."

Listening to the two ancestors' teachings, Young Master Wu Xingguang asked in a low voice, "Two ancestors, who exactly is this Third Ancestor you speak of?"

Wu Kuangfeng said, "You are not a heaven-gifted genius. Your status and position are not high enough, so it is normal that you are not aware of some information. You just need to know that the Third Ancestor is the true person in power of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce and cannot be provoked."

Young Master Wu Xingguang was a bit confused.

"In terms of power levels, shouldn't our Wu Family be above the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce?"

Wu Kuangfeng chuckled. "The classification of power levels is just for the world to see. The terror of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce is beyond your imagination."

"Just remember these words. Put away your little schemes and complete this mission properly. If you succeed, you will be able to remain in the Wu Family in the future and will have status. If you fail, then you will have to marry into another family. You also know what happens once you become someone who marries into another family!"

Young Master Wu Xingguang's expression tightened sharply; he knew this point.

Once he became someone who married into another family, he would have no status in the Wu Family, and his former power would disappear along with it.

Moreover, some unpleasant things would happen. He would completely become a pawn of the Wu Family, living only for the Wu Family's interests for the rest of his life.

There would be no possibility of turning things around. This was the rule of the Wu Family; even if he had a brother who was a successor, it couldn't be changed.

Therefore, this time, he must succeed in marrying a suitable candidate.

To complete a marriage alliance—at worst, he would just have to lower his requirements. The person he marries could be slightly worse, but he absolutely could not marry into their family.

After the warship stayed for one day,

it slowly started up and headed south.

The warship would pass through the Dragon Clan's territory, enter the Insect Clan's area, finally stop briefly in the Insect Clan's area, then enter the Buddhist Clan's territory, and finally fly away from the Western Continent towards the Southern Continent. In most cases.
