Chapter 3650 Gu Family Proposes Marriage

Hearing the shouts, everyone from the Luo Family changed their expressions.

The Gu Family Stronghold and the Luo Family Fort had always been in opposition, so why were people coming at this time?

“Let’s go out and see!”

Luo Bingyan stood up and led everyone outside. At the entrance of the Luo Family manor, two people stood.

To the left was a tall middle-aged man in a black robe, who was none other than the Grand Elder of the Gu Family Stronghold, Gu Qianzhou.

To the right was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, dressed in splendid robes, the son of the Gu Family Stronghold Master, Young Master Gu Jinnian.

The two stood side by side, their chins slightly raised, nostrils flared, both with expressions of arrogance.

Luo Bingyan did not speak. Luo Wushan stepped forward and said, “Grand Elder, Young Master, what brings you to my Luo Family?”

“Nothing important, just here to watch the show.”

A mocking smile played on Gu Qianzhou’s lips, “I heard your Luo Family has been quite lively recently. First, a Family Master died, and now a Grand Elder.

I also heard there was something不清不白 with the Family Master’s wife, and a Young Master was born, but it’s still unknown whose son he is. Hahaha, how interesting…”

As he finished speaking, the two burst into laughter, their mockery evident.

After these words, the Luo Family members’ expressions instantly turned grim. As the saying goes, Family shame should not be aired.

Although the Three Families all had spies and knowing this news was not strange, bringing it up now was a bit too much.

Luo Bingyan’s expression was grim: “Gu Qianzhou, my Luo Family’s affairs are none of your business. Get out of here.”

“Isn’t this Young Miss Luo of the Luo Family? I heard you’ve taken over the position of Family Master.”

Gu Qianzhou was completely unfazed, a cunning smile still on his face.

“Young Miss, I was just making a joke. Since you don’t want to hear it, let’s talk about serious matters.”

Luo Wushan said, “If you have something to say, say it quickly and then leave!”

“For your Luo Family, this is actually a great thing,” Gu Qianzhou said with a smile, “My nephew, Jinnian, is also the future Family Master of our Gu Family.

He has taken a liking to Young Miss Luo, so my nephew and I are here today to propose marriage.”

Hearing his words, the Luo Family members all showed astonished expressions. No one expected them to make such a request.

However, some people then understood that this was not a marriage proposal at all; it was an attempt to take advantage of the situation and annex the Luo Family.

After Luo Wusheng’s death, the Luo Family’s strength greatly diminished. Now, with the death of Luo Wuqian, their strength had declined further.

The Gu Family had clearly seen this point, so they harbored ill intentions, wanting to take the opportunity to annex the Luo Family.

However, this matter was of great importance. None of them had the right to speak on it, including the Four Great Elders. Only Luo Bingyan herself had the right to decide.

At this moment, Gu Jinnian, who had been standing by, took a step forward, smiling: “Bingyan, to be honest, I, Young Master, had a soft spot for you back then and wanted my father to propose marriage.

It’s just that you suddenly disappeared later, and the matter was left unresolved.

Now that you’ve returned, you and I are a match made in heaven.

As long as you become my Dual Cultivation Dao Companion, our two families will become one, which will be good for the Gu Family and good for the Luo Family.

We will become the number one Family here, even Dragon Head Mountain cannot compare.

Such a great opportunity, I believe you won’t refuse, will you?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the air temperature around them instantly dropped, and an extremely cold aura permeated the entire scene.

Luo Bingyan’s expression was incredibly grim, even revealing a hint of killing intent: “How dare you propose marriage to me? Get out of here!”

Gu Jinnian and the other man were both stunned for a moment. They had guessed that the Luo Family might refuse, but they didn’t expect such a firm attitude.

Gu Qianzhou’s expression instantly changed: “You don’t know what’s good for you, Luo Bingyan. Don’t you see what kind of situation the Luo Family is in now? Do you have a reason to refuse? Do you have the right to refuse?”

Luo Bingyan became even colder, her entire being like an ice sculpture.

“How my Luo Family fares in the future is none of your business. Get out of here!”

“Luo Bingyan, have you thought it through? You are not representing yourself now, but the entire Luo Family.”

Gu Jinnian’s tone was full of threat, “Currently, my Gu Family is powerful, and we even have an Eighth-Rank Immortal Pill Master overseeing us.

If you obediently become my Dao Companion, you will have endless Cultivation resources in the future.

If our two families combine, our strength will greatly increase, and we can even suppress Dragon Head Mountain. At that time, your Luo Family will not lack benefits.

But if you don’t know what’s good for you, then I’ll tell you, at the Three Families Alliance two days later, I guarantee you won’t even get a tenth of the share. At that time, the Luo Family is destined to decline.”

The Luo Family members stood by, their expressions extremely complex.

On one hand, they were indignant at the other party’s arrogance and domineering nature, while on the other hand, they were worried about the Luo Family’s situation.

Although the Gu Family was a bit arrogant, what they said was true. In comparison, the Luo Family’s strength was too weak.

If they couldn’t invite a master to help and went to the Three Families Alliance two days later like this, the outcome would be disastrously imaginable.

Without the support of Immortal Herb Valley’s resources, the Luo Family might not even last another hundred years.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Gu Jinnian’s face showed a triumphant expression. In his opinion, he had completely got them under control.

After all, Luo Bingyan was now the Luo Family Master. As Family Master, she had to consider the Family and make sacrifices for the Family’s interests, ultimately only able to yield to him.

But what he didn’t expect was that Luo Bingyan just gave him a cold glance.

“Are you done talking? If you’re done, then get out. Don’t make me say it a third time!”

“You!”

Gu Jinnian was somewhat surprised, and then the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

Gu Qianzhou roared in anger: “You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! With the current Luo Family, do you have the right to refuse?!”

He came this time on behalf of the Gu Family, and his goal was to annex the Luo Family.

If a smooth marriage alliance was possible, that would be best, but if not, he would not abandon this goal.

After speaking, he directly transformed a large Immortal Essence hand and grabbed towards Luo Bingyan.

“You’re courting death!”

The several Elders of the Luo Family were furious. This was simply too much bullying; to abduct their Family Master right in front of them, this was simply not putting the Luo Family in their eyes.

Luo Wushan roared and raised his hand to meet the attack with a punch.

The fist and palm collided, and with a loud bang, a violent Qi current swept through the surroundings.

Then a figure flew backward, it was Luo Wushan, spitting out blood.

The two had only exchanged one blow, and he was sent flying dozens of feet away, blood staining the corner of his mouth, his face full of shock.

“Great Supreme Immortal Peak!”

The Luo Family Fort, Gu Family Stronghold, and Dragon Head Mountain, these three families had been fighting for tens of thousands of years, and they knew each other extremely well.

In the past, the Gu Family Stronghold’s strength was slightly stronger than the Luo Family’s, but only their Family Master, Gu Qingya, had reached Great Supreme Immortal Peak.

The remaining seven Elders were all at the Great Supreme Immortal Late Stage, including Grand Elder Gu Qianzhou.

During the last Three Families Alliance, the two had fought, and their strengths were equal, neither gaining an advantage.

But now there was a world of difference, a whole Rank apart.

Gu Qianzhou let out a triumphant laugh: “How about it? Now you know how powerful I am, right? Anyone who dares to challenge me, come forward!”
