I'm Stunned: Xue Ke Brought an Imperial Decree to Force Me into Marriage

"Is this Skywater Academy? It doesn't look very big."

"Why did Lin Tian choose to appear here?"

Xue Ke gazed at the gates of Skywater Academy, her face full of confusion.

If only Lin Tian had appeared at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Everything would have been easier.

Hearing Xue Ke's question, Ning Fengzhi replied, "Your Highness, perhaps the Lord of the Heavenly Dao's reincarnation was randomly transported here."

"You may be right, Sect Master Ning. It's a shame Aunt Yuehua didn't come with us. It would have been good to have her here."

"Sect Master Ning, please notify the dean of Skywater Academy. Sorry for the trouble."

Xue Ke sighed and made the request of Ning Fengzhi.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Ning Fengzhi responded and glanced back at Sword Douluo.

Sword Douluo understood at once. He walked to the guard post at Skywater Academy's gates, presented the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's token, and told the guards why they had come.

When the guards heard that the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Princess Xue Ke of the Heaven Dou Empire had come to visit, they did not dare be negligent and hurried off to notify the academy.

Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, who had been keeping a close watch on Skywater Academy, spotted Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ke.

"Teacher, who are they? They look like important people," Tang San asked curiously.

"Xiao San, that is Ning Fengzhi, the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The one who just went to pass on the message should be Sword Douluo. As for that young lady, I don't know."

"But judging by Ning Fengzhi's respectful attitude toward her, she should be a member of the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family."

"In the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Ye seems to have only one daughter. The young lady before us should be Princess Xue Ke."

Yu Xiaogang explained the identities of the three to Tang San and Xiao Wu.

When Xiao Wu saw that one of the three was a Titled Douluo, her little face turned pale with fright, and she hid behind Tang San, somewhat afraid.

She was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had taken human form. Before she reached maturity, a Titled Douluo could easily discover her true identity.

If she were discovered, her life would be in danger.

But Tang San, whose thoughts were entirely occupied with whether he could join Skywater Academy, did not notice the change in her expression.

"Teacher, has our chance to join Skywater Academy come?" Tang San asked hopefully.

"There should be a chance. We'll watch for an opportunity to act."

Yu Xiaogang replied, planning to approach Ning Fengzhi and strike up a conversation to see if they could go in with him.

But just then, Spirit Luan Douluo arrived at the gates of Skywater Academy with Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.

The moment Spirit Luan Douluo saw Sword Douluo, her pupils contracted slightly.

She could sense a sharp sword intent coming from him. He was a powerful Titled Douluo.

On the Douluo Continent, only Sword Douluo could exude such sword intent.

Sword Douluo also saw Spirit Luan Douluo and perceived her cultivation through his Soul Power.

"Fengzhi, someone else has arrived. One of them is a Titled Douluo. She should be from Spirit Hall," Sword Douluo reported quietly to Ning Fengzhi.

"Oh? Spirit Hall?"

"I didn't expect Spirit Hall to come and stick its nose in too."

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly and turned to look at the approaching Spirit Luan Douluo and the three with her, including Hu Liena.

"You must be Sect Master Ning and Senior Sword Douluo. I am Shu Ya, ninth elder of Spirit Hall. Greetings to you both."

Spirit Luan Douluo stepped forward and cupped her fists slightly in greeting to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.

"I didn't expect Spirit Hall to have such a stunning Titled Douluo."

"Your Excellency Shu Ya, this is Her Highness Princess Xue Ke of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Ning Fengzhi cupped his fists slightly in return and introduced Xue Ke to Spirit Luan Douluo.

"So you're Xue Ye's most beloved daughter. Now that I've met you, you truly live up to your reputation."

"It seems you are all here for Lin Tian as well. Since we have the same goal, let's enter Skywater Academy together."

Spirit Luan Douluo smiled at Xue Ke by way of greeting.

Ning Fengzhi nodded and replied, "Very well!"

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire were hostile to Spirit Hall, everyone was here to curry favor with Lin Tian, and their aims did not conflict. There was no need to make things turn sour.

"Xiao San, I'll go negotiate first. You two come over in a little while."

Seeing that the people from Spirit Hall had arrived too, Yu Xiaogang knew the time was right. After a few words to Tang San, he hurried over.

"Sect Master Ning, do you still remember me? I'm Yu Xiaogang."

Yu Xiaogang's voice reached them before he did.

"Ah, Grandmaster. Can I help you?"

Ning Fengzhi recognized Yu Xiaogang the moment he saw him.

He had visited the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect years ago and still had a strong impression of Yu Xiaogang's reputation as a good-for-nothing.

"Sect Master Ning, my students and I would also like to enter Skywater Academy with you. Could we come along?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

"The Upper Three Sects stand as one. Of course you can," Ning Fengzhi replied.

"Many thanks, then!"

"Xiao San, come over."

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi had no objection, Yu Xiaogang happily waved to Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were hiding nearby.

"Xiao San, go on ahead. I'm not feeling very well, so I'll go back first. Once you've finished talking things over, I'll come back."

Xiao Wu saw the gazes of Sword Douluo and Spirit Luan Douluo, made an excuse, and slipped away into an alley.

Tang San stood there stunned for a moment, then had no choice but to walk over alone.

Yu Xiaogang proudly introduced Tang San to Ning Fengzhi and the others.

Everyone looked surprised when they learned he was Tang San.

They had not expected him to be Tang Hao's son, who had been exposed as the possessor of Twin Martial Souls. He really was a fine-looking young man.

Yu Xiaogang did not like Xiao Wu, so he paid no attention to her absence.

Before long, Shui Yun'er arrived to welcome them, bringing all of Skywater Academy's senior staff and instructors.

Skywater City, where Skywater Academy was located, was one of the Heaven Dou Empire's major cities.

With a princess of the Heaven Dou Empire visiting, Skywater Academy naturally had to welcome her with the highest honors.

Of course, Bibi Dong and Bo Saixi did not come, and Shui Yun'er had not notified them.

She knew they would not come even if she told them, so she did not ask for trouble.

Shui Yun'er then led everyone into the conference room and formally asked why they had come.

"Dean Shui, this is an imperial decree from my father. It says he wants to betroth me to Lin Tian and make him his son-in-law. Please notify him."

Xue Ke was accustomed to freedom in the Heaven Dou Empire and disliked such formal occasions. She took out the imperial decree and handed it over directly.

"Your Highness, Lin Tian's status is unusual. I'm afraid His Majesty's decree will have no effect on him."

"How about this? I'll summon Lin Tian, and you can tell him the happy news yourself."

Shui Yun'er glanced at the decree and returned it with great respect, then sent Leng Xi to summon Lin Tian.

When Lin Tian heard that Shui Yun'er was looking for him, he did not ask why. He put down the teaching outline he was writing and rushed to the conference room at great speed.

Gu Yuena, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er followed him, not knowing what important matter had come up.

When Lin Tian entered the conference room, he froze.

Why are there so many people here? Even Yu Xiaogang and Tang San are here.

"Lin Tian, this is Princess Xue Ke of the Heaven Dou Empire. These two are Ning Fengzhi, master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and its elder, Sword Douluo. Those two are Spirit Hall's ninth elder, Spirit Luan Douluo, and its saintess, Hu Liena."

Seeing that Lin Tian had arrived, Shui Yun'er introduced everyone to him.

Lin Tian frowned slightly as he listened to their backgrounds.

What's going on? Why have the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Spirit Hall all come?

"Hello, Lin Tian. From now on, you're my fiancé."

"This is my father's imperial decree. He wants you to become his son-in-law."

"In a few years, we can walk down the aisle, get married, and have children."

When Xue Ke saw Lin Tian, she handed him the imperial decree, her eyes full of longing.

As long as she married Lin Tian, she could reach level one hundred and become a god.

She was determined to have Lin Tian. No one could stop her.

"What? Did you bring an imperial decree to force me into marriage?"

P.S. Friends, if you have any ideas, feel free to share them. I'll try my best to accommodate you. There's only so much brainstorming the author can do, so I hope you'll offer some ideas. The Heaven Dou Empire will be revealed soon too.
