Marriage Alliance?

Marriage Alliance?

"Apply to Canaan Academy? Old Fa, you aren't seriously planning to send him to Canaan Academy for further study, are you? Does Canaan Academy have anything you don't? Is it really necessary to go through all that trouble and travel thousands of miles away just to compete with others for cultivation resources?"

Jia Xing Tian was deeply puzzled when he heard that Fa Wutian had applied to Canaan Academy.

Logically speaking, Fa Wutian did not lack cultivation resources, so why was he going to Canaan Academy like everyone else to fight over resources?

Could there be some unknown secret behind this?

Hearing Jia Xing Tian's question, Fama explained, "I don't know either! But since he wants to go, let him go! Young people need to venture out before they can understand how vast the outside world is!"

"Mm, that's true!"

He knew that even with his Peak Dou Emperor strength, he could only throw his weight around in the Northwest Continent.

Reading novels every day was incredibly convenient; enjoy them anytime.

Once he went to the Central Plains, he might not even be able to guarantee his own safety!

After all, in the Central Plains, where experts were as numerous as clouds, even Battle Ancestor experts were merely the heads of small clans.

Not to mention those powerful factions with the foundations of Dou Venerables!

At this moment, Fama saw that Jia Xing Tian had asked about his grandson the moment he entered, then glanced at Yao Ye beside him and instantly understood the purpose of their visit.

"Old Jia, you didn't come just to see me, did you?"

Hearing Fama's words, Jia Xing Tian said with a smile, "That's right! This time, I've come to arrange a marriage!"

"Arrange a marriage?"

Hearing this, Yao Ye immediately understood why Jia Xing Tian had asked what she thought of Fa Wutian earlier.

So he was planning to use her as a bargaining chip for a marriage alliance!

Thinking of this, she felt a little sorrowful.

However, she knew this was not something she could decide.

Although it was not her own choice, marrying an unparalleled genius did not seem so bad either!

After all, what woman did not dream that her future partner would be an unparalleled expert?

Moreover, once they formed a marriage alliance, not only could they resolve the threat posed by Fa Wutian, they could even remove the Yunlan Sect, that massive boulder weighing on the imperial family's heads!

After all, once they were joined by marriage, she did not believe Fa Wutian would refuse to help them deal with the Yunlan Sect in the future!

With Fa Wutian's talent, he would probably become a Dou Emperor before long!

When that time came, the Yunlan Sect would naturally become nothing but dust of the past!

Thinking of this, she no longer felt quite so resistant to the marriage.

However, while her concerns had been resolved, Fama did not immediately agree.

"You want her to marry Wutian?"

"Mm. Is there a problem?"

What problem? The problem was enormous! Have you even considered whether your granddaughter was worthy of my grandson? A toad lusting after swan meat!

Fama secretly looked down on Jia Xing Tian, but outwardly put on a troubled expression.

"Well..."

"What? Do you think my granddaughter isn't good enough for your boy?"

Seeing Fama's reluctant expression, Jia Xing Tian immediately became displeased.

Although his granddaughter was young, her assets were clearly there!

On top of that, Yao Ye had spent years leading troops and honing herself, giving her a naturally heroic bearing.

A beauty as valiant and dashing as her might not be unparalleled in the Gama Empire, but she was certainly among the finest!

Yet this old fellow actually thought she was not worthy of his grandson?

That truly angered him!

"No! No! It's not that I think your granddaughter isn't worthy of Wutian. I just think Wutian is still too young. This isn't the time to discuss marriage!"

Fama hurriedly waved his hands and explained.

"Ah, what's the problem with that? They can get engaged first! Once they reach the proper age, it won't be too late to marry!"

Seeing Jia Xing Tian seize the opening and press forward, Fama was dumbfounded.

What did this mean? I turned you down so clearly, and you still can't tell? Do you really need me to spell it out?

Seeing Fama look as miserable as if he had eaten something revolting, Jia Xing Tian was immediately delighted.

Old fellow, do you think I can't hear what you're implying?

You just want to use Fa Wutian's youth as an excuse! You want to use it to shirk this marriage? No chance!

Having no better option, Fama decided to leave the choice to Fa Wutian himself.

"There's no rush regarding the marriage alliance! Wutian has always had his own mind. If I arranged a marriage for him behind his back, he would probably blame me. So wait until he returns and ask him yourself!"

"That works too!"

He did not believe Fa Wutian could be harder to deal with than Fama, who had become shrewd with age.

Meanwhile, after learning about the relationships he would have to deal with in the future, Fa Wutian slowly made his way back to the Alchemist Association.

"Young Master Wutian, you've finally returned!"

Seeing Fa Wutian come back, the gatekeeper hurriedly greeted him.

"Hm? Did something happen?"

Seeing the anxious look on the man's face, Fa Wutian asked in confusion.

"Not exactly! The president said that once you returned, you were to see him immediately!"

"Grandfather is looking for me?"

Hearing that Fama wanted to see him, Fa Wutian immediately frowned.

Could it be because of his application to Canaan Academy? No, that couldn't be it! He knew about it and had even agreed!

Could he have changed his mind at the last minute?

With all sorts of questions in mind, Fa Wutian headed toward Fama's lounge.

Bang, bang, bang!!!

"Come in!"

"Grandfather, what did you need me for?"

Fa Wutian asked as he pushed open the door and walked inside.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that Fama was not the only person in the room!

"I did not know Elder Jia was here. Please forgive my discourtesy!"

After recognizing the person in the room, Fa Wutian hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed in apology.

After all, Jia Xing Tian was a Peak Dou Emperor—someone Fa Wutian could not afford to offend.

"Hehe, Wutian, you're back! Come, sit! Let's sit and talk!"

Jia Xing Tian hurriedly stood and invited Fa Wutian to sit.

"Grandfather, Elder Jia, did you need something from me?"

After sitting down, Fa Wutian looked at the two of them and asked.

He was quite curious about what could have happened that made Fama and Jia Xing Tian seek him out personally.

Before Fama could respond, Jia Xing Tian spoke first. "Wutian, what do you think of her?"

Following Jia Xing Tian's pointing finger, Fa Wutian saw Yao Ye sitting opposite him, dressed in black armor and possessing stunning beauty.

"Very beautiful!"

Fa Wutian offered the praise sincerely.

At those words, Jia Xing Tian's face revealed a smug expression.

It seemed this boy had not been able to resist his granddaughter's beauty either!

So he immediately pressed his advantage. "How about I let her become your wife?"

"What?!!"

Hearing those outrageous words, Fa Wutian hurriedly waved his hands in refusal.

"No, no!"

"Why not? Didn't you just praise her for being beautiful?"

"Praising her beauty and marrying her are two entirely different matters. Besides, my ambition is to become a top expert and stand at the pinnacle of the world! Getting married now? Wouldn't that only hold back my progress?"
