Chapter 742: Openly Asking for the Woman

Chapter 742: Openly Asking for the Woman

Jiang Yi’s expression remained unchanged as he gestured with his hand for everyone to stay calm. He then smiled and nodded towards Lu Lin and replied, “Many thanks for Young Master Lin’s blessings.”

Young Master Lin no longer paid any attention to this side, not even taking a single look at Jiang Yi. He then mingled cheerfully with Lu Ping and the other commanders. The Lu Clan’s young master was rather good at holding his composure and was able to deal with such banquet with skill and ease.

Jiang Yi sat silently at the side and had this smile on his face that didn’t look like a smile. He had already clearly expressed his opinion earlier, and there wasn’t a need to offend this Young Master Lin in any other way. Trying to strive for dominance would only bring in more trouble. This Young Master Lin was a true noble, and as long as he didn’t overstep his boundaries, Jiang Yi would certainly give way.

After two hours since the banquet started, Young Master Lin and Young Lady Yu had stood up and dismissed themselves. Jiang Yi took the opportunity to leave as well while the four of them walked out of the city lord residence. Qian Wanguan and the others were already waiting outside for them while looking at Jiang Yi with grave expressions.

“Let’s return.”

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Yi led the others back to the courtyard. He got everyone else to return and wait for orders while he brought Qian Wanguan, Feng Luan, and others into the courtyard.

“We might have encountered huge trouble!”

Activating the barrier as soon as they entered the room, Jiang Yi spoke with a grave tone, “This Young Master Lin might make a move at any moment. Thus, we have to make all the preparations and be ready to leave at any moment. Afterward, apart from Qian Wanguan, Feng’er, Qing Yu, Xiaonu, and the Golden Flood Dragon will all enter the Thearch Palace. As soon as something is amiss, we will leave immediately and head for the Gods Bestow City.”

“But we do not have enough celestial stones!” Qian Wanguan spoke hesitantly.

“We have to leave even if we do not have enough!”

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and said, “We cannot start a battle with Young Master Lin and his people. Putting aside the peak-stage Heaven Monarch beside him, there are a few high-stage Heaven Monarchs as well. Even if we are able to kill him, we will suffer an all-out pursuit from the Lu Clan, and we will no longer be able to stay in Sin Island. If we are able to depart for Gods Bestow City without having a conflict with them, we might be able to avoid having a feud with them.”

“En!”

Feng Luan nodded and said, “If it is truly not possible. We will leave immediately and not ride the Heaven Fate Ship. We will think of a way to intercept and kill two smaller mountain bandit groups, and that should give us enough celestial stones. However, it would be a little riskier this way.

“We will settle on this place. All of you, enter the Thearch Palace. Wanguan, you are to follow me at all times and don’t bother about the matters in the city. Hand them over to Yang Dong.

“Wanguan, write a letter and said that if we are to leave, everyone will listen to Yang Dong’s command. As long as we leave, Lu Lin will not make things difficult for Yang Dong and the others. We will meet again if fate allows it.”

Jiang Yi took out the Thearch Palace and put Feng Luan, Qing Yu, Jiang Xiaonu, and the Golden Flood Dragon in. Just as he was preparing to have a discussion with Qian Wanguan, the barrier outside shook a little. His eyes turned cold as he immediately deactivated the barrier and extended his divine senses. When he saw that it was Commander Lu Feng, he quickly led Qian Wanguan out to welcome him inside.

“Commander Feng, quickly take a seat inside!”

Jiang Yi politely welcomed Lu Feng inside, but Lu Feng didn’t have a pleasant expression. He didn’t even sit after coming in and looked around instead. He then sighed lightly and whispered, “Chief Jiang, Lordess asked me to relay a message. Young Master Lin is willing to offer 100 million merits as the betrothal gift and wants to marry Young Lady Xiaonu as his concubine. Furthermore, he promised that you will be able to walk openly in the White Dragon Archipelago in the future. As long as you don’t create any huge trouble, he guarantees your safety! In addition… Lordess’ opinion is for you to consider carefully.”

“Here it is!”

Jiang Yi and Qian Wanguan looked at each other with an immense expression. If Lu Lin was just subtly hinting his intention, then right now, he was openly asking for the woman. Lu Ping obviously couldn’t withstand this pressure; otherwise, she wouldn’t have given her opinion.

If Jiang Yi wasn’t going to comply—even if Lu Ping didn’t stand on Lu Lin’s side, she definitely wouldn’t be able to watch on the sidelines. Furthermore, if a true young master of the Lu Clan wanted to play Jiang Yi, it would be an effortless task.

Jiang Yi fell silent and only responded after more than five minutes. “Commander Feng. Xiaonu is my little sister. Although Young Master Lin might be a mighty individual, you also saw that she isn’t going to be pleased with this marriage. So could you give me some time? I would like to consider carefully and also asked my little sister’s opinion… how about one month?”

“A month?”

Lu Feng shook his head and said, “One month will definitely be out of the question. At most, half a month. I will go and relay your information.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi nodded and said, “I will have to trouble Commander Feng. I will pay a visit to City Lordess later on.”

Lu Feng forced a smile and walked out. He then transmitted a message at the doors: “Chief Jiang, you should look on the bright side for this matter. Young Master Lin has overwhelming talent has been internally determined as one of the five candidates for the Young Clan Head position. His future is limitless, and if you can create some ties with this matrimony, it will definitely be greatly beneficial for Chief Jiang’s future development. Young Lady Xiaonu would have to marry eventually, and who else is there better to marry? There are plenty of Young Ladies that don’t even have the qualification to marry Young Master Lin, right?”

Lu Feng didn’t know if Jiang Xiaonu was Jiang Yi’s little sister or woman, but if it was someone else, he would already be congratulating once he entered the doors. However, he had a little understanding of Jiang Yi and clearly knew that he was a person that values the relationship and disliked such transactions for power and authority. Hence, the reason why he advised Jiang Yi like this.

Bang!

After Lu Feng went out, Jiang Yi activated the barrier in the courtyard and slammed the table in the room with a single hand. There was a muffled sound as the green wooden table was instantly turned into dust, scattering the ground with wood shavings.

“Boss, what should we do?”

Qian Wanguan had an extremely awful expression while Jiang Yi muttered for a moment before speaking, “I will go look for Lu Ping later on and hear what she has to say before making a decision.”

The two of them had a prudent discussion in the courtyard for four hours. When it was deep into the silent night, Jiang Yi then put Qian Wanguan into the Thearch Palace and went out. He then headed straight for the second floor of the city lord residence.

“Lordess, Lone Wolf seeks a meeting.”

Outside of Lu Ping’s room, Jiang Yi opened the doors once he finished announcing his intention. Lu Ping knew that Jiang Yi was going to come and had been waiting in the room for him.

Buzz!

After the doors closed, the restriction activated. Lu Ping beckoned for Jiang Yi to sit down and spoke before Jiang Yi could, “Chief Jiang, I am truly helpless this time. Young Master Lin has made a beeline straight for your younger sister. Perhaps… someone is instigating it from behind.

“Young Master Lin’s character is fine apart from the fact that he loves beauties of the special races. His indulgence has created many commotions in the past, but his grandfather is the clan’s Grand Elder. Hence… I am truly helpless about this matter. If you aren’t going to hand her over, even I cannot protect you.”

“Uh…”

Jiang Yi’s eyes turned dim as though he had accepted his fate. He muttered and sighed before replying, “I am fine on my side, but my little sister isn’t willing so I will need some time to convince her. Also, Lordess… will she only be a concubine? Can’t she be a First Wife or even a Common Wife?”

“Impossible!”

Seeing Jiang Yi relenting, Lu Ping revealed a trace of a smile and explained, “Chief Jiang, the Lu Clan is one of the 13 Clans, and Young Master Lin is one of the top Young Masters of the youth generation. His First Wife will definitely need an equal background to him. Young Lady Xiaonu has no choice but to be a concubine.”

“So it is like this…”

Jiang Yi looked rather disappointed and continued asking, “Then, can’t she be honorably married? If she isn’t officially wedded and has to leave with Young Master Lin just like that, Xiaonu would rather die than get married.”

“This…”

Lu Ping was in a difficult situation. In fact, Lu Lin was just giving Jiang Yi some face in saying that he wanted to marry Jiang Xiaonu. In the end, Lu Lin was just using 100 million merits to exchange for a toy. Why would he even trouble himself to officially marry Jiang Xiaonu?

She waved her hand and said, “You should go back and convince your little sister first. I will discuss with Young Master Lin on this matter tomorrow.”

Jiang Yi bowed with cupped hands and dismissed himself. When back at his courtyard, he teleported Qian Wanguan out of the Thearch Palace and spoke in a cold expression, “We will act according to our earlier plan. Since Lu Ping is so heartless, then don’t blame us for being faithless!”
