"By the way, young friend, have you truly given no thought to my daughter?" Huangfu Yu suddenly asked Cao Bing with a smile. "My daughter has admired you for a long time. As her father, I naturally hope that my only daughter can marry a fine husband."

The moment Huangfu Yu finished speaking, Cao Bing hurriedly cut him off.
The daughter Huangfu Yu spoke of was the eldest princess of Eastern Pole Xuanjin Mountain—Huangfu Jing.
In terms of appearance alone, Huangfu Jing was stunning enough to topple cities and kingdoms, no less beautiful than Jiang Li of the Jiang Family. Her temperament was gentle and quiet as well; she truly would make an excellent wife.
