Arriving at Medicine God Valley
After a long silence, Hua Gu spoke:
"Yao'er."
Do you still have hope for Chen Changqing?
"Did you send Yao Feng out?"
After the Marriage Recruitment Assembly was put forward, Hua Gu naturally paid even more attention to his daughter Hua Yao.
They were also worried that Hua Yao might run away from Li Household in a fit of anger.
If that's the case, then Medicine God Valley won't know how to explain itself to those forces.
Fortunately, Hua Yao did not Qi Ingestion and leave; she simply sent Yao Feng out of the valley.
Hua Gu was aware of this as well.
The Yao Feng out of the valley must be heading towards the Shu Mountain Sacred Land.
Upon hearing this, Hua Yao nodded and softly hummed in agreement.
"That's right."
"It was I who sent Senior Brother Yao Feng to Mount Shu."
"Brother Changqing should know about this matter."
Hua Gu was taken aback for a moment, but didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, with so many forces already present, one more Chen Changqing wouldn't make a difference.
Not to mention, he also had a three-year agreement with Chen Changqing.
Chen Changqing should indeed know about this matter.
However, in Hua Gu's opinion, even if Chen Changqing really came, he might not be able to compete with those people.
Putting aside the betrothal gifts, Chen Changqing will likely be at a significant disadvantage in the subsequent arena battles.
Although Chen Changqing is the number one genius on the Azure Dragon Ranking, his cultivation level is only at the Purple Mansion Realm.
Those who came to propose marriage were all outstanding figures from their respective factions.
His cultivation level far surpasses that of the Purple Mansion!
Even if Chen Changqing receives the news and arrives in time, he probably wouldn't be a match for those people in the arena.
"Father."
"What do you mean?"
"Could it be... that you don't think highly of Brother Changqing?"
Hua Yao slowly raised her eyes and looked straight at Hua Gu.
She got the feeling that her father, Hua Gu, seemed to lack confidence in Chen Changqing.
Hua Gu didn't answer Hua Yao, only looking helpless.
After a long silence, he finally spoke:
"Whether I think he's a good candidate or not, first of all, he needs to get to Medicine God Valley, right?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Yao froze, her mind immediately in turmoil.
After all, today is the day of the Marriage Recruitment Assembly.
But right now, Chen Changqing and Yao Feng have not returned at all.
If you miss this opportunity, it will be too late.
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded.
Following the sound, Hua Lixuan quickly stepped forward.
"Big brother."
"All the guests have arrived."
"We're all waiting for you to take charge."
As they approached, Hua Lixuan spoke, glancing at Hua Yao in the process.
At this moment, Hua Yao's face was full of sorrow, and her eyes were filled with tears of grievance.
Seeing this, Hua Lixuan felt helpless.
Although he felt sorry for his niece, the situation facing Medicine God Valley was extremely dire.
After all, the forces that came to Medicine God Valley to propose marriage were all very powerful and not people that Medicine God Valley could afford to offend.
That's why the Marriage Recruitment Assembly.
Faced with these two major challenges, no one can blame Medicine God Valley for losing.
If there's anyone to blame, it's their own lack of strength.
In this way, Medicine God Valley can also stay out of it and offend no one.
Of course, the only thing that has to be sacrificed is Hua Yao's happiness.
"I wonder if that kid Chen Changqing will come?"
"It's already this late."
"If he doesn't come, Yao'er will become someone else's dao companion."
Hua Lixuan sighed inwardly.
They also knew that Hua Yao had sent Yao Feng to Mount Shu to find Chen Changqing.
Hearing what Hua Lixuan said, Hua Gu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Hua Yao, saying:
"Yao'er, let's go!"
"Regardless, we have to face this hurdle eventually."
Without waiting for Hua Yao's reply, Hua Gu took the lead and walked out.
Seeing this, Hua Yao was filled with disappointment. After a brief pause, she stood up and left with Hua Lixuan.
Not long after, Hua Gu, along with Hua Lixuan and Hua Yao, arrived at the Council Hall of Medicine God Valley.
At this moment, the seats in the hall were already full, with only one empty seat remaining.
With the arrival of the three from Hua Gu, the once noisy hall immediately became quiet.
Immediately afterwards, a dozen pairs of eyes turned to them.
These gazes first swept over Hua Gu, and then unanimously fell upon Hua Yao.
When they looked at Hua Yao, their eyes suddenly turned greedy.
"Is she the daughter of the Valley Master of Hua Gu? She is quite pretty!"
"The Nine-Turn Exquisite Body!"
"Such a rare and special physique, I must obtain it this time."
"If I could cultivate with her, my physique might evolve, and I might even be able to break through to a higher level."
"..."
Everyone stared intently at Hua Yao, each with their own thoughts.
Feeling uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, Hua Yao tensed up.
In particular, she felt disgusted when she saw the possessiveness in those people's expressions.
Soon, Hua Gu took his seat at the head of the table, while Hua Lixuan and Hua Yao sat down to the side.
"Greetings, Hua Gu!!"
Everyone stood up and bowed in unison.
After all, they are outsiders, and in Medicine God Valley, they should still be given the respect they deserve.
Not to mention, they were also thinking of marrying Hua Yao.
Hua Gu nodded and said with a smile:
"Please, everyone, make yourselves at home and take your seats!"
Upon hearing this, everyone returned to their seats.
At this moment, Hua Yao glanced around and saw an empty seat in the hall.
They knew that spot was reserved for Chen Changqing.
"Is Brother Changqing not going to make it in time?"
Hua Yao muttered to herself, feeling utterly disappointed.
After all, if Chen Changqing hadn't come, she would probably have become someone else's dao companion today.
The thought of being with someone she didn't like made Hua Yao feel very uncomfortable.
Overwhelmed with sorrow.
He looked utterly dejected.
Hua Gu, standing nearby, took in her daughter's expression and felt a mix of emotions.
To be fair, he quite admired Chen Changqing, but unfortunately, the situation was beyond his control.
"It seems Chen Changqing won't be able to come!"
"Yao'er."
"I have failed you as your father!"
Hua Gu sighed softly, but on the surface she appeared calm and composed.
Then, he looked at everyone in the hall and said with a smile:
Thank you all for your kindness to my daughter.
"Now that everyone... is here."
"Then let's begin this Marriage Recruitment Assembly!"
"According to the rules, the betrothal gifts will be compared first, followed by the martial arts contest."
"Does anyone have any further objections?"
As soon as Hua Gu finished speaking, a cold voice rang out:
"Hua Gu, there's no need for further words. Let's begin."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was an effeminate man wearing a blood-red robe, leaning lazily against the back of a chair.
The man was none other than one of the divine sons of the Blood God Sect.
There are a total of thirteen Blood God Sons in the Blood God Sect.
However, there are only twelve left now.
One of the divine sons, named Xue Tian, was killed long ago.
Even now, the Blood God Sect has still not been able to find out who was responsible.
