"Of course I know how formidable your Divine Abilities are, Old Jin. This time, it was all thanks to your help. Otherwise, I really would have let Junior Brother Wang down." Ximen Mei'er nodded repeatedly.
"Little Mei, you haven't fallen for this boy, have you?
"Helping you this time was only a small matter. With me stepping in, securing Wang Yu a Registered Disciple's status was nothing. Master might grumble a little, but he won't truly blame anyone. But if you want to break off your engagement and ruin the marriage alliance between the two sects, Master will never agree. You might even drag this boy into it.
"You must understand that a mere Qi Refining disciple is no more than an ant before Master. Making him disappear from the sect forever would take no more effort than blowing away dust," Golden Toad suddenly said in earnest.
"Old Jin, what nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever fallen for Junior Brother Wang? I'm only repaying him for helping me twice. How could I take a fancy to a disciple with four spirit roots?" Ximen Mei's heart skipped a beat, and two patches of crimson flew onto her cheeks, but she denied it outright.
"Girl, as long as you understand what's at stake.
"If you want Master to change his mind, this boy must at least demonstrate greater value than Yuan Huatian. For instance, reaching Foundation Establishment within a few years and showing the potential to form a Golden Core," Golden Toad said gravely.
"Of course I know all that. Grandfather already settled things with the Yuan Household, didn't he? The day Yuan Huatian reaches Foundation Establishment is the day I marry him. But if I become a Formal Formation Master before then, surely Grandfather will waver a little?"
