The Qi House in the capital.

Today was the day of the engagement ceremony between Zhao Hongkun and Qi Waner, the daughter of the Qi family. According to the customs in the capital, they should first hold an engagement party in the bride’s house and then they would get married in the groom’s house.

Qi Waner had been extremely angry these days. Her initial plan was that she would visit her mother and then stay with Qin Haodong, after a few days.

But she did not expect that Yuan Tianren, a so-called master, suddenly appeared and said that she would bring luck to her husband. Then they arranged a marriage for her with Zhao Hongkun.

She wanted to escape secretly, but her cultivation was sealed by Qi Yulong, who had been prepared for it. Now she was no different from ordinary people. She was monitored by two bodyguards at the door and had no chance to escape.

She wanted to call Qin Haodong, but she did not have a single reliable person around her. She did not even have a mobile phone to send him a message.

While she was annoyed, the people from the Qi family were filled with joy.

Zhao Hongkun was the leading figure in the third generation of the Zhao family and he was also the most supportive heir to the family head. After the marriage alliance between the Qi family and the Zhao family, they would become strong allies, which were beneficial to the development of the Qi family in the capital.

The Zhao family was also very enthusiastic about this marriage. The two families got along quite well with each other and their alliance would be more stable after the marriage.

Besides, Master Yuan has declared that Qin Waner, who was a great beauty, would also bring great fortune to her husband. The Zhao family would definitely become prosperous after getting her and they could even become the head of the Seven Great Families.

They paid great attention to the engagement party, so it was an extremely lively. They invited many guests and friends and all the well-known families in the capital received their invites.

Qi Yulong, dressed in a suit, stood in front of the gate of the Qi family and welcomed the guests with great joy. Qi Guofan, the old master, was sitting in the hall, dressed in a festive Tang costume.

Although some aristocratic families did not like the idea of the marriage between the Qi Family and the Zhao Family, they still had to show up and send their blessings. Therefore, all the leaders from the other five families were present.

In addition, after the recent news that Qin Zongheng had become a saint, Chu Xuanyue’s position had also risen. She was specially invited and her status was the same as that of the other masters from the other aristocratic families.

She did not want to attend after receiving the invite because she did not want to meet Chu Shanhe, the master of the Chu family. However, Ye Qing persuaded her to attend in order to build a social network for her son upon his return to the capital.

However, when she arrived at the Qi’s house, she stayed far away from Chu Shanhe and sat on the other side.

Chu Shanhe also saw his daughter. He sighed with a complicated expression without saying anything.

Shi Zhixuan spoke to Qi Waner in the dressing room, “Girl, put your make up on quickly. It’s almost time.”

Today, Qi Waner was wearing a gorgeous cheongsam, but she looked quite cold and depressed. She was just sitting quietly on the chair without saying a word.

“Mom, I’ve told you and Dad that I already have a boyfriend. Why should I get engaged to another man? The old man was just talking nonsense!”

Shi Zhixuan sighed and said, “Girl, it’s my fault. I should not have asked him to tell your fortune. But this cannot be changed and we can only accept our fate. The marriage of a girl from a big family has never been decided by themselves.”

Qi Waner said angrily, “I don’t believe in fate. I would have died a long time ago if I followed my destiny. Haodong saved my life and he’s the only man I want to marry. I will not get married to Zhao Hongkun.”

Shi Zhixuan said, “Daughter, I know that you have suffered a lot, but it was your grandfather who made this decision. We can’t change it. Besides, I think Zhao Hongkun is quite good and you’ll be a perfect match.”

“No, I do not want to be under the control of the big family. My marriage is up to me. Since the entire Qi family is forcing me, I have to do something to fight back.”

A trace of determination flashed across her face and she said to the makeup artist next to her, “Come on, do my make up for me.”

Shi Zhixuan said worriedly, “Kid, don’t do anything silly…”

Qi Waner said, “Mom, I’ll make the decision myself. You don’t have to worry about it.”

At this moment, countless guests had already gathered in the banquet hall of the Qi family.

Zhao Hongkun, who was in the spotlight, was wearing a black suit today. He stood straight and had an air of great confidence.

As the core figure of the third generation of the Zhao Family, he was a promising young man. He had performed very well since he was a child. He had reached the fifth level of the supreme power realm before 30 years old.

This was enough to make him stand out among his peers from the other aristocratic families. He was clearly the leader of the younger generation in the capital.

Zhao Hongkun was also highly valued by the Master of the Zhao family. He had already obtained a final say on some family affairs. He could make a decision unless it was a matter of life and death.

He was an outstanding young man and countless matchmakers had come to his house to propose marriages with him. There were also many noble Young Ladies who wanted to be his wife.

However, Zhao Hongkun refused them all. He was just playing with them because he believed that none of them deserved to be his wife. But Qi Waner changed everything.

He thought that with his ability and talent, he would be an excellent husband for Qi Waner, who would bring him good luck. They would be a perfect match together.

He was now stronger than the younger generation in the Capital. If he could get Qi Waner’s help, his prospects would be beyond measure.

He originally proposed to the Qi family after hearing what Yuan Tianren said, but when he saw Qi Waner’s appearance, he was stunned. After the engagement was settled by the two families, he was excited and ecstatic.

If a man wanted to succeed, the woman standing behind him was very important. Therefore, a woman who could bring luck to her husband was rare and attractive. There were countless people who came to the Qi family to propose marriage, but only Zhao Hongkun succeeded.

He felt even more proud of himself now and an old Taoist came in from outside. He was Yuan Tianren, the most famous master in capital.

He was about 60 or 70 years old. He had long hair and a white beard. This old man was wearing a cyan Taoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk in his hand. He looked like an immortal and had a detached air about him.

Yuan Tianren was popular in the capital and no matter where he was, he would immediately be surrounded by people. Many people even stood up to greet him.

Zhao Hongkun immediately went up to him and said, “Master Yuan, we’re happy to see you here. I’d like to thank you for your advice.”

Yuan Tianren stroked his beard and said in an imposing manner, “You deserve this. This is your fortune to marry such a girl, who is such a rarity for the past thousand years.”

Zhao Hongkun said respectfully, “Master, I still have to thank you for your guidance. I will never forget your great kindness. When you’re free, please let me express my gratitude alone.”

“You’re worth teaching. Your prospects are beyond measure.”

Yuan Tianren nodded in satisfaction and walked inside after speaking.

Zhao Hongkun turned around and saw Qi Waner who had finished her makeup, walking slowly into the hall.

She was wearing a bright red cheongsam, which enhanced her beautiful figure. Her long hair was coiled up high to reveal her white neck and shoulders. She was just like a peacock and the entire hall was lit up by her beauty.

Since Zhao Hongkun met Qi Waner the first time, he felt amazed every time he saw her again. He smiled, cheered up and walked toward his future wife.

“Wan’er, you’re so beautiful today.”

Zhao Hongkun walked to Qi Waner and was about to hold her hand.

After today’s engagement, they would become a couple-to-be. In the views of such aristocratic families, the engagement ceremony was much more effective than the marriage certificate.

Qi Waner would be his wife after today’s ceremony.

But Qi Waner obviously did not think so. She took a small step back and Zhao Hongkun caught nothing.

She said coldly, “Don’t touch me.”

Zhao Hongkun smiled and said, “Wan’er, we are going to be family soon, why are you so shy?”

Qi Waner said, “Zhao Hongkun, I’m not willing to go through with the engagement ceremony and I already have someone I like. Even if you can get me as your wife, I’ll never fall in love with you.”

After a pause, she continued, “Besides, you may not even get me as your wife.” Zhao Hongkun was stunned.

Zhao Hongkun calmed down and was not too bothered about Qi Waner’s refusal. He smiled and said, “Waner, I know that you’re quite angry with me and I can understand that. But I believe that I will definitely let you see my merits and make you fall in love with me once we get married.”

Qi Waner shook her head and said mercilessly, “It’s useless. No matter how hard you try, you are no match for him.”

Zhao Hongkun said proudly, “Wan’er, I don’t know who he is, but he just met you a few days earlier than me. I don’t think he can be compared with me in terms of talent and capability.”

Qi Waner sneered and said, “What are you talking about? He is ten thousand times stronger than you in every aspect.”

Zhao Hongkun smiled indifferently. He did not take Qi Waner’s words seriously at all. He believed that as the direct descendant of the Zhao Family, he was the most outstanding young man in the capital. There was no one who could be better than him.

“Wan’er, today is our engagement day and I don’t want to argue with you. Please believe me, I will definitely touch your heart.”

“That’s impossible. He’s the only person that I love.”

Qi Waner turned around and was about to leave. But suddenly, she thought of something else and turned around and said, “By the way, I forgot to tell you that I’m already his woman.”

Zhao Hongkun did not care about what she had said before, but he could not accept this fact. He was an extremely arrogant man and it was a great humiliation for him if his fiancée had already had sex with someone else!

He clenched his fists tightly and the blue veins on his forehead emerged.

Qi Waner saw his expression clearly and a smile appeared on her face. If he wanted to take her as his wife, she would definitely make him unhappy!
