"The reason that the Wei Family has spread out so far is simply to send a message to everyone. With the support of the Gu family behind them, their strength has increased by a large amount."

"However, the Gu family cannot be looked down upon. None of the clans that used to have supreme Martial Emperors were simple."

Loong Yu drank his wine as he watched coldly from the sidelines. The three of them arrived at this large city a few days ago and used a few tricks to smoothly participate in this bustling city.

The current head of the Gu family, Gu Qiushuang, was seated in the main seat. To her left and right were the Gu family's higher ups and outstanding juniors, Gu Yiyi and Gu Kuang amongst them.

Gu Yiyi was wearing a white dress and stood there like a fairy. She had almost become the center of attention. However, she was still expressionless in the face of such a lively scene. Her brows were filled with a cold expression.

"The Wei family has arrived."

Just at that moment, along with Housekeeper Li's loud warning, a group of people walked in from outside. The person in the lead was a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe, and behind him was a handsome young man.

"Patriarch Gu."

The Gold Robe man greeted Gu Qiushuang with a smile.

"Wei of the Wei family, you finally came." Gu Qiushuang nodded and gestured for the Wei family to take a seat.

"On the way, I met a few small fries that delayed me for a while. I've made you all wait for a long time." Second Master Wei smiled, and then he looked up and down, and his gaze finally landed on Gu Yiyi. After a long while, he finally said, "As expected of the Gu family's eldest daughter, her looks and cultivation level are outstanding. My family's Kirin being able to marry you is her fortune.

"Shan'er, quickly come and greet the Gu family's eldest daughter."

"Greetings, Miss Gu." Hearing this, the young man took two steps forward and cupped his hands towards Gu Yiyi as he spoke.

He stood tall and straight, with distinct facial features. He looked extremely handsome, and his presence immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

"Yiyi …"

Seeing that Gu Yiyi didn't intend to greet him, Gu Kuang couldn't help but remind her. However, the former remained unmoved, causing the atmosphere to become awkward.

"My niece is a little shy, I hope that Young Master Wei Shan will not take offense to it." Gu Qiushuang glared at Gu Yiyi as she tried to smooth things over with a smile.

Hearing that, Wei Shan's eyes flashed and he smiled without saying anything.

Second Master Wei laughed and said, "No worries, no worries. It's normal for a little girl to be shy. When she marries into the Wei family, she won't act this way."

As he said that, he slowly walked forward and swept his eyes across everyone in the hall, and said in a clear voice: "I thank all of you here for coming to witness my Wei Family and the Gu Family's engagement ceremony.

"How could I dare …"

"It's our honor to be able to witness the engagement of the two families …."

… ….

Everyone smiled apologetically. The Wei Family, Second Master, had already given them enough face to greet him. Each of them had a higher impression of him in their hearts.

"Patriarch Gu, let's not delay the engagement ceremony. Shall we begin?"

"Alright."

"Lord County Governor, please host." Gu Qiushuang smiled and nodded at the county governor.

"Alright, this old man will set the engagement for the two families right now." The county governor, Gu Yan, strode to the front of the stage and said in a clear voice, "The Dazhou governs a nation with etiquette. After three courtesies, an exchange of the betrothal gifts will be completed."

"First of all, this old man will ask the elders of the Gu family. Do you have any objections to marrying the Gu family's eldest daughter, Gu Yiyi, into the Wei family?"

"No objections."

"We agree very much."

… ….

Gu Yiyi marrying into the Wei Family would be a huge help to the entire Gu family, so why would they object? Even the elders of the Gu family who objected were restricted by the family head to enter the main hall.

"This old man's second question, is Wei Family elders willing to marry Gu Yiyi to Wei Shan?"

"Everyone in my Wei Family approves, so why would they oppose it?"

"Wei Shan and the Gu family's young miss are golden and beautiful. Being able to get married is naturally an excellent match."

… ….

The elders of the Wei family laughed as they spoke.

"This old man asks a third time. Does all the guests present approve of the matter regarding the young miss of the Gu family and Young Master Wei Family?" Gu Yan stroked his beard and asked in a clear voice.

The third question was actually superfluous. Forget about Wei Family, even the Gu family did not have many people who were willing to offend them. Almost everyone spoke up at the same time: "I agree."

"I agree."

"That's right, I wish Young Master Wei and Miss Gu …"

… ….

Everyone spoke out at once, some of them having the ability to talk, and some of the weaker ones raised their voices, hoping to attract the attention of the people from Wei Family, making a good impression.

"Hehe …"

In the corner, Loong Yu sneered. He was about to slowly get up under the gaze of the two maids. But at that moment, a calm voice sounded, "I don't agree."

"I don't agree."

Although the sound wasn't loud, it overshadowed all the noise and the entire hall instantly became deathly silent.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically. Looking in the direction of the voice, they discovered that the person who spoke was a young man who seemed unremarkable while sitting in the corner.

"It's him?"

"Interesting."

Loong Yu saw the appearance of the young man clearly and immediately revealed a smile. His eyes flickered and he muttered: "Lu Chen."

"Cough cough …"

"Young people, pay attention to the occasion and speak." The county governor was stunned for a moment before immediately recovering. He could not help but remind him in a solemn voice.

"I just paid attention to the occasion." Facing everyone's gaze, and under Zhang's admiring gaze, Lu Chen slowly stood up. His originally upright figure seemed to have become a bit more imposing at this moment.

His bright, clear eyes fell on Gu Yiyi as he smiled and said, "I don't agree, because she can only be my woman."

"What?"

"Is this person crazy?"

… ….

The entire arena was in an uproar. Everyone stared at Lu Chen in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

"This person looks familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere before..." The messenger sent by the Han family was a middle-aged man. He was sizing up Lu Chen with a frown.2

"This …"

Gu Yan swallowed his saliva. He noticed that Gu Qiushuang and Second Master Wei's expressions had turned extremely ugly and he did not even dare to continue speaking. Although he was the county governor, he was inferior to the Gu family, much less offend the Wei Family.

"Hur hur."

Second Master Wei let out a cold laugh. He glanced at Gu Qiushuang and said with a profound look, "Patriarch Gu, is this the guest you invited?"

At this moment, Gu Qiushuang was also extremely depressed. However, she could hear the meaning behind Second Master Wei's words. She shook her head and said, "This person was not invited by my Gu family."

"Since he isn't someone the Gu family has invited, then what are you waiting for?"

"Throw him out."

As Second Master Wei's voice fell, without waiting for the Wei Family members to make a move, the Gu family's guards rushed in and surrounded Lu Chen and Zhang.
