Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 63 Is this fate inescapable?

Ji Haiyue was defeated by Wang Teng. She didn't even get to test any of Wang Teng's other methods before being severely injured by her own Void Handprint.

Moreover, it was Wang Teng who came to his rescue.

Using the ability to rewind time, the injuries inflicted on Ji Haiyue by the Void Handprint were reversed, allowing Ji Haiyue to return to her peak condition.

During this process, Wang Teng seemed to realize that time reversal could be more thorough, but with his current abilities, he was not yet able to fully activate it.

But at least there's something to look forward to.

After recovering from her injuries, Ji Haiyue left without saying a word.

Clearly, this battle dealt him a heavy blow.

Among the younger generation of the ancient Ji family, the geniuses who could rank among the top three were always overshadowed by the divine body Ji Haoyue from a young age.

Finally, a powerful guest came to the family. Originally, he wanted to prove himself, but he ended up becoming a negative example.

Ji Haoyue stood there with a solemn expression; thankfully, he had held back for the past few days.

Otherwise, he would be the one questioning the meaning of life now.

After seeing Ji Haiyue off, Ji Haoyue circled around Wang Teng for a long time.

After a long while, he finally couldn't help but ask, "You obtained the inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor?"

"Yes." Wang Teng nodded.

Like the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword, this thing cannot be hidden. When he travels through the Eastern Wilderness in the future, he will inevitably encounter some powerful opponents, not limited to the younger generation, so these things will be exposed sooner or later.

Rather than revealing it to others when danger arises, it's better to openly admit it to the Holy Land families and save a lot of trouble in the future.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the Ji family seems to be treating him quite well...

……

"What?!" Wang Teng stared in shock at the powerful ancestor before him, showing such obvious loss of composure for the first time.

"Hahaha, I know you're happy too, but don't be too happy yet. This matter can't be decided lightly. At the very least, we need to inform the family first, wait for them to be ready, and then set a date for them to come and propose marriage. Only then can this matter be considered settled."

Seeing Wang Teng so excited, the powerful patriarch of the Wang family chuckled and spoke.

After all these years, there's finally something that can excite Wang Teng like this. All the effort he's put in has been worthwhile!

Just kidding, how could Wang Teng not be excited?

He had barely managed to evade the gears of fate, but now, to his "surprise," he heard that the Ji and Wang families had decided to match him with the younger generation of the Ji family!
Does anyone even need to mention matchmaking anymore?

Who is the most outstanding young girl in the Ji family?
Isn't that Ji Ziyue?
Moreover, the head of the Ji family has already expressed this intention and directly named Ji Ziyue. How could Wang Teng not be excited?

A little while later, Ye Fan came looking for him carrying a coffin lid!
"No, no, no! What excites me is not the marriage alliance with the pearl of the Ji family, but that I am still young and have no such plans! Ancestor, please don't rush to agree!" Wang Teng quickly denied and explained.

Are you kidding me? How could he possibly agree?
Who knows if, after nodding and actually doing *that* kind of thing, three people from the future will appear and chat with me?

“But you’re already a teenager. Whether you’re in the Eastern Wilderness or the Northern Plains, you’re of marriageable age.” The powerful patriarch of the Wang family was puzzled, but still tried to persuade him.

Logically speaking, at this age, they should have been engaged long ago. Once the two young people have supported each other for a while and developed a certain emotional foundation, everything will fall into place naturally.

Moreover, the Ji family is an ancient and powerful clan, one of the most influential families even in the resource-rich Eastern Wilderness. There is no more suitable marriage partner than the Ji family. Unless… the Jiang family and the Yao Guang Holy Land speak up.

"No way, I haven't grown up yet, how can I get caught up in romance?" Wang Teng shook his head again, firmly refusing.

“However, the head of the Ji family has already spoken, wanting you young people to get to know each other better so that you can help each other in the future and further strengthen your relationship.” The powerful patriarch of the Wang family sighed.

That's why he came directly to find Wang Teng and ask for Wang Teng's opinion.

"I have no interest in romantic relationships. I appreciate the Ji family head's kindness! I know my own situation. I am focused on cultivation and fear I would disappoint the lady. Let's just leave this matter at that." Wang Teng said, forcing himself to speak.

"Since that's the case, then let's just forget about it." The powerful patriarch of the Wang family sighed.

He felt a little regretful that the marriage did not go through.

But since Wang Teng's attitude was so firm, he couldn't say anything and could only give up.

Afterwards, when he mentioned this matter to the head of the Ji family, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh at the same time.

One regret is missing out on having a powerful in-law family like the Ancient Aristocratic Family.

One regret is missing out on a potential Great Emperor successor who, compared to ancient aristocratic families with complete lineages, could be considered a wild genius.

Moreover, this wild successor of the Great Emperor possesses the extraordinary ability to rewind time and space, something unprecedented and unparalleled.

If Wang Teng and Ji Haoyue hadn't shown a decent relationship, and if the Ji family hadn't already done them a favor and the Wang family hadn't readily accepted it, even the head of the Ji family might have considered crushing the genius!

"It's alright. Even if the marriage doesn't work out, Haoyue and Wang Teng can still become close friends and look out for each other when they travel to the Eastern Wilderness in the future."

In the end, it was the head of the Ji family who spoke up and skipped the matter.

The powerful patriarch of the Wang family readily accepted. He had been worried that rejecting the marriage proposal from the Ji family would lead to a distant relationship with them, but it seemed that the head of the Ji family hadn't thought that far ahead.

On the other hand, after Wang Teng rejected the Ji family's marriage proposal, he was on tenterhooks for several days, fearing that a classic plot from a novel would happen, with a younger generation cultivator from the Ji family jumping out to say that he was ungrateful, followed by a series of classic arguments, starting with the younger generation and then the older ones, repeating themselves for several days.

But he later realized that he had been overthinking things.

Before the marriage was officially confirmed, it was only discussed among the highest levels of society. Even Ji Haoyue was unaware of it and continued to send people to search for Ji Ziyue's whereabouts every day.

Some time after Wang Teng arrived at the Ji family, Ji Haoyue finally found him with a smile on her face.

"So, have you found any news about Ziyue?" Wang Teng asked.

"Yes! Found her! Ziyue is most likely at the Tai Xuan Sect in the Southern Region right now." Ji Haoyue said with a genuine smile on her face.

This was the first time he had smiled so earnestly in a long time. Wang Teng almost wanted to add a comment from the side: "It's been a long time since I've seen a divine body smile like this..."

"I have to go to the Tai Xuan Sect, so I can't stay here to continue entertaining you, my brother. Please forgive me," Ji Haoyue said.

Having learned of Ji Ziyue's whereabouts, Ji Haoyue no longer intended to wait; he wanted to personally go and bring Ji Ziyue back.

"I'll go with Brother Ji. I also want to travel around the Eastern Wilderness and see the geniuses there," Wang Teng said, indicating his intention to go to the Tai Xuan Sect together.

At this moment, his Dao Palace deity had also entered the Tai Xuan Sect, even before Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue, and had become the senior disciple of Zhuo Peak.

In the void, upon hearing Wang Teng's words, the Ji family patriarch and the powerful ancestor of the Wang family exchanged a glance and smiled without saying a word.
