Arrival at Peace Town

Arrival at Peace Town

"What's so difficult about that? You can get engaged first!"

Fa Wutian was dumbfounded on the spot when he heard this.

Was his granddaughter impossible to marry off? Why was she still so relentless?

Seeing this, Jia Xing Tian added with a smile.

"As long as you and Yaoye get engaged, you can use the imperial family's resources however you wish! By then, with the foundations of our two families, we will definitely help you advance quickly!"

"Uh!"

Fa Wutian felt even more depressed upon hearing that.

This was troublesome. If he refused, he would probably offend Jia Xing Tian.

Perhaps even Fama would be implicated!

But if he agreed, wouldn't he suddenly have a fiancée he had never even met?

Although he was very fond of beautiful women, he did not want a relationship built solely on benefits, without any feelings involved!

That would be unfair to everyone!

Just as he hesitated, unsure how to handle the matter, Yao Ye spoke up from the side.

"Imperial Grandfather, I think he has a point. At our age, we should focus on improving our strength! As for a marriage alliance, we can discuss it later!"

Fa Wutian was immediately delighted when he heard this.

He had been worrying about how to escape the devil's clutches, yet Yao Ye had unexpectedly spoken up for him. He immediately shot Yaoye a grateful look!

Jia Xing Tian's expression did not look very good after hearing his granddaughter's words.

Only after a long while did he finally say something.

"Since neither of them is willing, then let this matter drop!"

After that, Jia Xing Tian took Yao Ye and left.

Only after the two had departed did Fa Wutian let out a long breath.

He knew that the matter was over for now. He had temporarily escaped Jia Xing Tian, that great Buddha.

Still, he was not entirely at ease, so he turned his gaze toward Fama.

"Grandfather, don't tell me you were thinking the same thing!"

"How could that be? Do you think your grandfather is that kind of person? I already tried to refuse on your behalf earlier. But that old bastard Jia insisted on a marriage alliance! I had no choice, so I left the decision to you."

Fa Wutian deeply resented how he had passed the buck.

Is it really okay for you to keep screwing over your own grandson like this?

Feeling Fa Wutian's resentful gaze, Fama became uncomfortable all over and hurriedly changed the subject. "By the way, you passed Canaan Academy's assessment already, right?"

Fa Wutian nodded.

If even he could not pass, then he truly did not know who could pass Canaan Academy's assessment.

After all, he was a Dou Master at only twelve years old!

"Canaan Academy is different from other factions! You must fight for every cultivation resource yourself. Although I do not know why you insist on going, I hope that after you get there, you will put your own safety first in everything. Never put yourself in danger! After all, you are the Fa Family's only remaining heir!"

"I understand, Grandfather!"

Seeing Fa Wutian nod in agreement, Fama finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, go back and make your preparations!"

Fa Wutian nodded with a smile, then turned and left.

Jia Ma Imperial Palace.

After returning, Jia Xing Tian flew into a rage.

"Ye'er, do you know what you missed out on today?!!"

"Imperial Grandfather, Ye'er knows!"

"You know?"

Jia Xing Tian was dumbfounded when he heard that.

"Since you know, why did you refuse this marriage? Or do you not wish to contribute to the family?"

"That's not it, Imperial Grandfather! You also know what Fa Wutian represents. If we use force to make him submit now, once he grows stronger, he may use today's matter against us."

Jia Xing Tian fell silent after hearing Yao Ye's words.

Indeed, with Fa Wutian's potential, combined with the protection of the imperial family and the Fa Family, his rise to prominence was practically only a matter of time.

But if he used force now to make Fa Wutian stand on their side, then with Fa Wutian's personality, he likely would not let the matter rest.

Moreover, he was not confident that he could make Fa Wutian obey the imperial family!

At that thought, Jia Xing Tian's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Ye'er, then what do you suggest?"

Hearing Jia Xing Tian's question, Yao Ye slowly said, "From our interaction just now, I found that Fa Wutian is extremely devoted to cultivation. As long as we do not provoke someone like him, he will not take action against us first. After all, the Fa Family's foundation is not much weaker than our imperial family's! Therefore, my suggestion is simply to befriend him as much as possible!"

"At this point, that is the only way!"

Jia Xing Tian sighed and spoke slowly.

He understood that if he continued pressuring Fa Wutian, he would definitely offend him. But what he had not expected was that Fa Wutian was not interested in Yao Ye at all!

Why wasn't a genius with such a firm will born into my imperial family?

A few days later, at the Canaan Academy airship station.

"Grandfather, you should go back!"

Looking at Fama, who had come to see him off, Fa Wutian urged softly.

"Alright. Once you reach Canaan Academy, be sure to stay safe! If anyone bullies you, remember to write and tell me."

"Mm!"

Fa Wutian nodded, then turned and boarded the airship.

Watching the airship gradually disappear into the distance, Fama muttered, "Wutian, from now on, you will have to walk your own path."

Seeing Fa Wutian staring blankly in the direction of the imperial capital, Wang Hao came over and asked softly, "Kid, is this your first time traveling far from home?"

"Mm!"

Fa Wutian nodded at his words.

"That's no surprise! Back when I first traveled far from home alone, I was just like you, deeply reluctant to part with my family. But shallow waters cannot raise dragons! Only by going out into the world can you encounter better things! Don't blame me for talking too much, but in my opinion, with your talent, the Central Plains is where your future lies!"

"The Central Plains?"

No! Even the Central Plains cannot make me stop moving forward!

"I understand. Thank you for your advice!"

Fa Wutian cupped his fists as he spoke.

Wang Hao nodded, then patted him on the shoulder. "Kid, work hard! One day, Canaan Academy may become famous throughout the world because of you!"

Fa Wutian nodded solemnly.

It definitely will!

Peace Town.

After traveling day and night for several days, the airship finally arrived at Peace Town.

"Old Wang, these are the students you recruited this time? They don't look like much~"

The moment they stepped off the airship, a group carrying long spears surrounded them. Every one of them radiated an aura of slaughter!

"They are Canaan Academy's Enforcement Squad, responsible for patrolling Peace Town!"

Seeing Fa Wutian's puzzled expression, Wang Hao patiently explained.

Only then did he leisurely reply to the Enforcement Squad's leader.

"Old Li, you've misjudged them this time. Among the students I brought back is an unparalleled super S-rank genius!"

"Oh? You really stepped in dog shit this time! You actually found a super S-rank genius! It looks like the academy will reward you handsomely this time! Don't forget to treat us when the time comes!"

"Certainly, certainly!"

With such happy news, Wang Hao naturally would not be stingy about treating them.
