Chapter 108: How Do I Tell Jiang Lan He Has A Fiancée?
Mo Zhengdong sighed when faced with the question.
This matter was very troublesome and huge.
If there was no need, he did not intend to involve his disciple.
This would result in quite a bit of pressure for Jiang Lan.
“I have indeed nurtured Jiang Lan as the successor of the Ninth Summit, or rather, he is the most suitable person I have met. In all these years, there has been no one like him.”
Mo Zhengdong looked at the others and continued,
“However, without him having sufficient strength, it’s very difficult for the Dragon Race to agree to this marriage. Especially when the Goddess is still young. ”
“Yes, Longyu is still too young. Don’t be fooled by her appearance. According to the Dragon Race’s age, she is still some time away from adulthood.” Zhu Qing said.
No one present knew Ao Longyu better than she did.
After all, she had watched her grow up.
“A marriage alliance doesn’t actually mean marriage.” Feng Yixiao said.
“What we need is a good reason to interfere with the whereabouts of the Goddess. However, if they are not married, it will not have as good an effect.” Second Summit’s Liu Jing said.
“The binding effect will certainly not be as high as we want, but it is still better than not having any.” Fifth Summit’s Miao Yue said.
“Let’s set the engagement first. We shall let them become fiancés for now. The Goddess is still young. We shall set the date of marriage when she becomes an adult. As for the successor of the Ninth Summit, there is not much pressure on him to become an immortal for now.
No matter how talented a person is, it is impossible for him to advance faster than the Jade Pool’s Goddess. Therefore, it is not a problem for him to be weaker than the Jade Pool Goddess. If the Dragon Race insists on waiting for the successor of the Ninth Summit to become an immortal before they get married, then we shall wait till he becomes one. There will be plenty of opportunities for him to do so in the next few centuries. ”
“There’s one thing that needs to be confirmed and that its the identity of Jiang Lan in this engagement. Is he the successor of the Ninth Summit or just the Ninth Summit’s Jiang Lan?” Jiu Zhongtian asked.
Yes, this was a very serious problem.
“The Dragon Race is not stupid. They definitely want to tie Ao Longyu to him only and not together with the Ninth Summit,” said Zhu Qing.
They could not fight for this.
But it was already enough for them.
“Then shall we confirm this matter for now?” Feng Yixiao looked at everyone.
“Ninth Summit’s Jiang Lan, the future Summit Leader of the Ninth Summit, shall be engaged to the Jade Pool Goddess, Dragon Princess Ao Longyu. Does anyone object to this?” Second Summit’s Liu Jing looked at the others.
At this moment, no one spoke.
Zhu Qing could not say anything either.
Neither could the people involved in this decision say anything about it either. After all, this concerned the future of Kunlun.
As Kunlun disciples, they had no choice and no right to choose.
“Then it’s settled. I’ll go negotiate with Junior Sister Miao Yue.” Feng Yixiao said.
“Let Jiu Zhongtian follow you two too,” Second Summit’s Liu Jing said.
Jiu Zhongtian naturally had no problems. He also knew what he was supposed to do there.
No one else said anything.
This matter was very serious. It concerned the future relationship between Kunlun and the Dragon race.
If they couldn’t come to an agreement, they would definitely fight and even if they managed to come to an agreement, there will definitely still be disputes before an outcome is settled.
All in all, this matter was very important yet complicated.
Before the discussion ended, Fifth Summit’s Miao Yue looked at Mo Zhengdong and asked.
“Will there be any problem on your side, Senior Brother?”
She was referring to Jiang Lan.
“There should be no problems,” Mo Zhengdong replied.
He knew Jiang Lan very well.
Even if Jiang Lan didn’t want to agree in his heart, he would still agree.
But the pressure on him with this engagement was definitely not small.
What he was worried about was whether Jiang Lan would become even more unsociable and eccentric after he knew of this matter.
However, he still had no clue on how to inform Jiang Lan of this matter yet. He could only wait and see how the situation unfolds before telling him when the opportunity is right.
“What about Junior Sister?” Miao Yue looked at Zhu Qing.
“I will tell Longyu when the opportunity is right. She is very strong-minded, but she is very obedient,” Zhu Qing said.
Longyu was indeed very obedient, but it was just that her personality was not very likable.
She was like an ice princess, who distanced herself from others.
The engagement should make her sad, but she would bear it silently.
“Then we will be responsible for discussing this matter.” Fifth Summit’s Miao Yue said.
…
…
On a path in Kunlun, a young girl looked at the Ninth Summit in disbelief.
Thirty years.
It had been thirty years since she last saw the person in the Ninth Summit coming down.
“Can a person really live on a mountain alone for thirty years? There are so many people at the foot of the mountain. Why doesn’t he come down and have a look or have a chat with them? ”
Xiao Yu was in disbelief.
She had waited for Jiang Lan for thirty years.
She had always wanted to return what she owed the other party.
However, she had never seen Jiang Lan leave the Ninth Summit in the past thirty years.
It was not suitable for her to go up the summit and visit him either.
Hence, she would often wait for him at the foot of the summit. This wait lasted for thirty years.
She had originally planned to give him a recording Dharma treasure, a cultivation technique, and a spell.
Unfortunately, she never had the chance to pass it to him.
“I heard that the inn outside Kunlun is currently short-handed.” Suddenly, a voice reached Xiao Yu’s ears.
She was not in the mood to listen.
However, she couldn’t help it as it was not far away.
It was two people, a man and a woman, talking as they walked.
“Yes, the inn is quite impressive. It’s said that the lack of manpower in the inn this time has alarmed the nine summits of Kunlun. Every summit has sent out their worst disciples to let the innkeeper choose.”
“The worst? That’s pretty unlucky of them. My cultivation level is already low. If I were to go, I will waste even more of my cultivation time.”
“I mean, they obviously can’t let the best go, right?”
The two of them chatted and laughed as they left this path.
Xiao Yu looked in the direction where the two of them left.
Then, she walked out of Kunlun.
All the nine summits had sent at least a disciple to the inn, which meant that there was a high chance the Ninth Summit had sent a disciple there too.
There was only one disciple in the Ninth Summit, who was also the person she had been waiting for.
Without further thought, Xiao Yu walked out of Kunlun.
…
…
Jiang Lan was still watching the others drink tea.
Or rather, watching the others get interviewed.
Currently, it was the eighth person’s turn.
The first seven had all failed. At first, they thought that they would encounter something terrifying.
After all, Zheng Xi of the Fifth Summit had been panicking after he picked up the cup of tea.
Therefore, they expected that they would encounter something terrifying.
But soon, they realized that that wasn’t the case.
This was because the second one had cried after picking up the teacup.
The third one had laughed.
The fourth one had fainted.
The fifth one had slammed the table in anger.
In short, everyone experienced different things.
However, none of them mentioned what they had encountered after the experience.
They merely lowered their heads and apologized for not divulging the information. Then, they quietly waited by the side for the people behind them to try.
They had all failed, so they were very curious about who could succeed.
The first seven had all not succeeded and it was not the eighth person’s turn.
If the eighth person did not succeed, then the innkeeper would be unable to hire the two people it had set out to do at the start.
After all, there would only be one left.
Jiang Lan was actually very surprised. This test didn’t seem to be a test of one’s temperament.
All of these people had made certain actions.
They were very embarrassed, but they did not find it abnormal.
This was a little strange. If it was an illusion, they shouldn’t have reacted in such a way.
They had no doubts about what they had seen.
For example, the person who smiled felt awkward.
However, his smile did not disappear completely even after he had sat down.
He had definitely encountered something funny.
At this time, the disciple who was holding the teacup suddenly stood up.
Everyone was confused. Then, they saw the eighth person pour the tea on the ground slowly and say.
“This wine is to pay respects to Senior.”
Jiang Lan was silent.
Everyone was in an uproar. This sudden action was somewhat shocking.
Even the innkeeper himself was stunned.
