What I teach you is real stuff.

Lu Yuan didn't take the fact that the Old Ancestor Wujia had taken advantage of him to gain this small benefit to him to heart.

Strictly speaking, this marriage was actually arranged by Saintess Yunluo herself. Whether Lu Yuan acknowledged it or not was up to him to decide, so there was no need to fuss over such details.

However, although Lu Yuan didn't care, there were still some people among the Tianmo Luo Clan present who cared a lot.

These people are from the Yunluo branch of the Holy Maiden Yunluo.

Because of Saintess Yunluo, the Yunluo branch was exceptionally allowed to sit at the front of the banquet during this ceremony within the Tianmo Luo clan.

The Yunluo branch naturally overheard the conversation between these important figures.

Originally, Yunluo, as a member of their Yunluo branch, was already considered an extremely auspicious event, as they believed it was a stroke of good fortune for the branch to be able to establish a relationship with a quasi-saint through marriage on behalf of the tribe.

Unexpectedly, he had such a fortuitous opportunity to recognize the Uga Ancestor as his godfather. Does this mean that in the future, the Yunluo branch will not only have Lu Yuan as a quasi-saint behind it, but that the Uga Ancestor of the Uga branch will also have intricate connections with their Yunluo branch?

The Yunluo branch of the clan was overjoyed, after all, who would complain about having a quasi-saint background?
Although the strength and status of Ancestor Wujia in the Tianmo Luo Clan are far inferior to those of Ancestor Feng Wu and other veteran Quasi-Saint Ancestors, he is still a Quasi-Saint and is by no means weak.

Normally, the Yunluo branch of the family would never have dared to dream of reaching such a level of relationship, but unexpectedly, through a marriage alliance, something they never dared to imagine before has come true.

In this light, Yunluo truly is the woman who will revive the Yunluo branch of the family.

Just as everyone was joyfully congratulating and celebrating, a discordant voice suddenly rang out from within the Tianmo Luo tribe.

"I don't agree to this marriage!"

The moment the voice rang out, it immediately attracted countless eyes, drawing all the guests' gazes toward the direction from which it came, eager to see who dared to cause trouble at such a grand wedding banquet of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan.

Many guests from various tribes in the outer seas who came to the banquet also watched the excitement, but many of them were even more shocked, because no one expected such a thing to happen at this time.

After all, this is not an ordinary wedding banquet, but the wedding banquet of a quasi-saint and powerful being.

This concerns a quasi-saint; who would dare to cause trouble?
Quasi-Saint level experts are incredibly powerful and extremely rare, even in the outer realms. It's incredibly difficult to even meet a Quasi-Saint on a normal day, let alone obstruct their path. This guy must have eaten too many red beans and is now suicidal.

Everyone looked over, including Lu Yuan, and all the quasi-saint ancestors and elders of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan also turned their gazes over.

Feng Wu, the patriarch, was the first to realize something was wrong. His face immediately darkened, and he asked, "Today is a momentous occasion for my Heavenly Demon Luo Clan. Who dares to cause trouble here? Do they have a death wish?"

At the end of Feng Wu's line of sight, there stood a young man dressed in black. He dared to meet Feng Wu's gaze.

However, he only made eye contact with this Old Ancestor Feng Wu for one second before he looked past him and went straight to the Holy Maiden Yun Luo beside Lu Yuan.

Even Feng Wu, the old ancestor, never expected that this young man would be so arrogant. He even dared to stare at the holy maiden chosen by their Tianmo Luo clan for a marriage alliance right in front of him. Was he really not afraid of death?

Feng Wu, the old ancestor, immediately roared, "Boy, what is your background? No matter what your background is, you dare to disrupt the important affairs of my Heavenly Demon Luo Clan here today, and you will pay a heavy price for it."

The young man said, "Ancestor, please calm down. I am not here to cause trouble. In fact, I am also a member of the Tianmo Luo clan. My name is Tianmo Luo-Lin Yan, and I am from the Shenyan branch of the Tianmo Luo clan."

The young man introduced himself as Lin Yan, claiming to be from the Shenyan branch.

Upon hearing the young man introduce himself, Old Ancestor Feng Wu was taken aback.

To be honest, at first he really thought this young man was from outside the Tianmolu clan, but he never expected that this person was also from their Tianmolu clan.

However, today is a major event for their Tianmolu clan. This young man is also a member of the Tianmolu clan. Why would he jump out and cause trouble at this time?
He also had some understanding of this branch of the Divine Rock lineage. This branch held a higher status within the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan than the Yunluo branch where Yunluo belonged, but the difference was still limited.

In the end, it is just a mid-to-upper-level branch of the Tianmo Luo Clan. However, over the years, Shenyan has been loyal to the tribe. But what is the situation with this boy?
Feng Wu Patriarch asked, "Then what brings you here to cause trouble today?"

Lin Yan said, "I came for the Holy Maiden Yunluo. Ancestor, the Holy Maiden Yunluo and I grew up together since childhood. We were childhood sweethearts and were betrothed when we were very young."

Yunluo and I are engaged, so she absolutely cannot be used as a tool for political marriage to marry Lu Yuan; that would be too unfair to him.

Hearing Lin Yan's words, not only Feng Wu Ancestor, but also the other Quasi-Saints of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan were stunned.

A marriage agreement? What kind of marriage agreement?
How come they've never heard of any marriage agreement before?

And this Saintess Yunluo is actually engaged to Lin Yan? How is that possible? When did this happen? After all, it's impossible for something like this to happen without any clues.

But they had already investigated the background of this Saintess Yunluo, and there should be no blemishes on her record.

Where did Lin Yan, who suddenly appeared and claimed to be her fiancé, come from?

Even Feng Wu, the old ancestor, couldn't help but turn around and glance at Saintess Yun Luo.

what happened?

A complex expression appeared on Saintess Yunluo's face, but she also understood that today's matter was extremely important and of great significance. If it was not explained properly, it would not only affect her personally, but also the entire Yunluo branch behind her.

At that time, the entire Yunluo branch would probably suffer the same fate as her. After all, everyone here is a Quasi-Saint. If such a blunder were to occur, causing such a disgrace to the Quasi-Saints and the Tianmo Luo tribe, she and the Yunluo branch would die a terrible death.

Saintess Yunluo was a sensible person, and she quickly clarified: "Ancestor, Lin Yan did grow up with me since childhood. The Yunluo branch I belong to and the Shenyan branch he belongs to have always had a good relationship, so it is normal for people from the two branches to be close."

He and I are the same age, so we often practiced and played together when we were young. As for the marriage agreement, that was definitely not true.

Both the Yunluo and Shenyan branches knew this; a simple investigation would reveal that his so-called marriage agreement was merely a childhood joke and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Saintess Yunluo told the truth. With many Quasi-Saints observing her in person, and possibly even behind her back, she naturally dared not lie.

Because for the tribe, investigating her is just a matter of a thought, and they don't even need to lift a finger to verify the truth. The Quasi-Saint can tell at a glance whether what he said is true or false.

Saintess Yunlu clarified that she and Lin Yan were indeed childhood sweethearts, friends who grew up together. As for a marriage agreement, there was none; it was merely a verbal promise they made when they were young and their feelings for each other were just beginning to blossom.

There was no matchmaker, no parents or family witnesses, and no written contract. It was completely invalid, and we can't force Yunluo Saintess onto this trivial matter.

The powerful figures present, including Ancestor Feng Wu and the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, all nodded in agreement, realizing that's how it was.

They were startled; they had just thought there was some inexplicable stain on his record, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

How can you take a joke you made with a friend when you were a child seriously?

In fact, they could roughly understand that this young man named Lin Yan was probably genuinely in love with the Holy Maiden Yunluo. Knowing that the Holy Maiden Yunluo was marrying Lu Yuan today, he was unwilling and came to stop her, or rather, to steal her away.

But such thinking is too naive in the face of these quasi-saints.

Putting aside the fact that personal desires are no match for family interests, what does a childhood sweetheart even matter? People change, and there are things that shouldn't be controlled, so don't overthink them.

However, after hearing Yun Luo's words, Lin Yan's face showed a pained expression, clearly indicating his dissatisfaction.

He completely ignored the many powerful figures of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan present and directly questioned the Holy Maiden Yunluo from afar.

"Yunluo, we grew up together since childhood and made a vow to marry each other. You said that if you were to get married in the future, you would definitely marry me. Are those words meaningless?"

"Furthermore, you've never bowed to the powerful and wealthy since you were a child, so what's wrong with you now? Why would you agree to this kind of marriage? Is it because you look down on my humble origins and that I'm not from the main lineage? When did you become so shallow?"

"I'm here today because I'm afraid you'll take a wrong step and fall into an abyss from which you can't escape. If you regret it now, you can come with me now."

Every word Lin Yan spoke was filled with emotion; it could be said that he used no skill, only pure feeling.

However, these words immediately aroused the disgust of the Yunluo branch's experts.

Before Saintess Yunlu could speak, the people from the Yunluo branch spoke first.

"Lin Yan, don't spread rumors here. How could Yun Luo, the Holy Maiden of the Yun Luo branch, mess around with someone like you? Don't be a toad trying to eat swan meat."

"This is a momentous occasion for the tribe. Men, throw this troublemaker out! And where are the people from the Divine Flame branch? Why haven't you taken away the lunatic from your branch yet?"

The people of the Yunluo branch were already cursing Lin Yan to the core.

We finally have a chance to change our fate and have our whole family benefit from it, so why are you causing trouble?

Admittedly, Yun Luo did have a good relationship with Lin Yan when they were young, and the two did have some entanglements and budding feelings for each other later on.

If it weren't for Lu Yuan's incident, Yun Luo might have ended up with Lin Yan, since Lin Yan's strength and talent were actually worthy of Yun Luo.

The two are a perfect match, and their union can also promote the alliance between the Yunluo and Shenyan branches. The closer the two branches are, the stronger they will become.

But isn't the situation different now? With a chance to achieve instant success, who would consider a low-end option?
Yun Luo has now been chosen by the Tianmo Luo Clan as their tribal saintess and is to be married to a quasi-saint.

Moreover, their Yunluo branch also had a chance to turn things around. The Quasi-Saint Ancestor promised that as long as Yunluo completed the tribe's mission well, their Yunluo branch could rise to the top and directly become the seventh main branch, enjoying the treatment and resources of the main branch.

The people of the Yunluo branch are all waiting to soar to great heights with Yunluo. As for Lin Yan, just stop messing around. Go as far away as possible and don't delay your own rise to prominence. Just stop messing around.

Hearing the words of the patriarch of the Yunluo branch, Lin Yan also showed surprise.

In his memory, these ancestors and elders of the Yunluo branch were not like this before. They were once fearless of power and did not bow to wealth. How could they change so suddenly?
Several patriarchs and elders of the Yunluo branch expressed their opinions.

The past is the past, and the present is the present. In the past, we were indeed fearless of power and refused to bow to wealth, but things are different now. In the past, it was because we didn't have enough wealth. Now, the tribe is giving us so much that we have no choice but to bow down.

The elders of the Yunluo branch quickly advised Lin Yan to go somewhere cool and stay there, and not to cause trouble.

Considering his youth and ignorance, and that he was one of the tribe's own people, the quasi-saints and powerful figures in the tribe wouldn't hold it against him. They just needed to be more careful in the future.

If you encounter Yun Luo again, you must address her as Your Highness, and be mindful of the difference in status.

However, Lin Yan refused to leave and continued to look at Yun Luo.

Yun Luo looked at Lin Yan, then at the several Quasi-Saints standing beside him and at the Quasi-Saint Lu Yuan.

For a fleeting moment, a look of struggle crossed her face, but it vanished without even lasting a second.

Because Yunluo understood almost instantly.

If I had to cultivate step by step on my own, relying on the resources of the Yunluo branch, I probably would never have been able to reach the easily attainable position I have today.

Although I have good talent and pure bloodline, without resources and background support, how many years would it take me to climb to my current position, and how many more years would it take me to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the most outstanding quasi-saint ancestors of the tribes, chatting and laughing like today?

Looking across the entire outer world, only those of the same realm can stand together and chat, but how many Quasi-Saints can emerge from the entire outer world?
Putting aside the fact that she has no background or resources, even if she did, she might not be able to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal level in her lifetime, let alone the Quasi-Saint level.

What the elders and patriarch of the Yunluo branch said is indeed correct. Although Lin Yan is also good, it depends on who he is compared to. Compared to Lu Yuan, he is nothing.

Moreover, she could gain so much by marrying Lu Yuan today.

The status and treatment of the tribal saintess, the future comprehensive resource support of the tribe, the wife of a quasi-saint, and even the Yunluo branch behind her will rise again because of her.

But if I lose my mind today and choose to go with Lin Yan, all of these things will vanish in an instant, and even I, and the entire Yunluo branch behind me, may be wiped out.

You don't need to think about which one to choose, right?
As long as you're not mentally unstable, this multiple-choice question is too easy. (End of Chapter)
