Naruto finally understood where the ominous feeling in his heart had come from.
Daoist Qingyan must have learned the results of Naruto and the two women's Spirit Root Tests from Wan Xiaoshan after they entered the valley that day.
He had seen that Hinata and Karin possessed the promising talent of dual spiritual roots, and now he wanted them for himself.
But...
"If you'd just tried to recruit us normally, I might've thought well of you and built a friendly relationship. But you want to steal my women? How the fuck am I supposed to put up with that?"
With a dark expression, Naruto glanced at Wan Xiaoshan beside him, then at the Golden-Robed Youth nearby. It was obvious now—they had even fucking picked out the husbands for this marriage alliance!
No wonder that pretty boy, the Golden-Robed Youth, had looked at Hinata and Karin as though he were picking out merchandise!
Only Hinata and Karin remained somewhat bewildered, since they could not understand this world's language.
But clever as they were, they noticed the tension and the change in Naruto's mood. They drew closer to him, quietly forming a battle formation.
Daoist Qingyan continued where he had left off:
"My young friend Feng Ming, I hear that young Xiang Chu and Karin are merely your confidantes? You have no marriage contract with them, do you?"
"As it happens, my unworthy son and my nephew Xiaoshan of the Wan Family fell in love with Xiang Chu and Karin at first sight. They are quite taken with them, so we elders can only shamelessly step forward to help arrange their matches."
"Although both our families are long-established cultivation families with considerable influence and connections in all of the Seven Great Sects, we have no intention of threatening you. Please don't misunderstand!"
