Chapter 69 Arranged Marriage? (Please Read Further)

"You make the first move, otherwise I'm afraid you won't even be able to withstand three of my moves."

Yang Shidao's words were sharp, but in reality, his eyes were fixed on the other party, not daring to underestimate him in the slightest.

"That's hard to say, but since you're so kind, I'll gladly accept your offer."

Xu Mingwei is currently at the peak of the late stage of the Innate Realm, and he can defeat even a martial arts expert at the peak of the Innate Realm.

Suddenly.

His feet stomped on the ground like an elephant's feet shaking a mountain, and his innate true energy surged around him like a dragon soaring into the abyss. His left palm formed a dragon claw and gripped the Tian Tu acupoint, while his right fist transformed into an elephant trunk hammer and struck Yang Shidao's abdomen.

Upon seeing this, Yang Shidao did not dodge but instead advanced, his palms turning as red as branding irons as he met the force of the dragon and elephant head-on.

Peng~
The bluestone slabs at the point of impact cracked.

"Late stage of the Innate Realm!"

The two stepped back a few paces and stood still. Yang Shidao looked at Xu Mingwei in surprise and said, "Late stage of the Innate Realm."

Not only him, but also the Yang family patriarch, the elders, and Yang Zhao and others present all showed expressions of surprise.

Xu Dezhao watched excitedly and shouted, "Go, Father!"

Yang Shichang turned to look at his younger sister in a daze, "Sister, when did Mingwei reach the late stage of the Innate Realm?"

Yang Ronghua smiled and shook her head, "I have never interfered in my husband's martial arts matters; A Yuan probably knows more about them."

Xu Mingyuan spread his hands, "I'm busy with the family business all day long and traveling around, so I don't know much about it."

the other side.

The elder whispered to the head of the Yang family, "This child is extraordinary. He is indeed exceptionally talented. The fact that Ronghua has two children, both of whom have pure bloodlines, may be due to him."

"Elder, are you saying that the Xu family also has a special bloodline?"

"Perhaps you could marry a woman from the Xu family and observe her descendants, then everything will become clear."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Yang family pondered for a moment, then said again, "I heard Yang Zhao mention that the former head of the Xu family had five children, one of whom was a woman."

The Grand Elder said nothing more, his gaze returning to the two people on the field.

Before long, Xu Mingwei and Yang Shidao had exchanged twenty or thirty blows, and neither was able to gain the upper hand.

The scorching true energy formed a heat wave, forcing Yang Zhao and the others back three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

In an instant, a huge crimson palm print was formed.

Xu Mingwei responded with the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fist recorded in the "Innate Dragon Elephant Skill," and his entire arm seemed to be coated with a layer of gold lacquer.

Innate true energy surged out from the meridians of the arm, enveloping the fist and forming a golden fist imprint.

The clash of fists and palms once again unleashed a violent gust of wind, blowing the pebbles beneath their feet into the surrounding corners.

That would save the person cleaning up afterwards some trouble.

"Break it for me!"

Suddenly.

The golden fist imprint shattered the crimson palm imprint, and the violent true energy sent Yang Shidao flying.

A streak of green light swept in.

Xu Mingwei gripped Yang Shidao's wrist like a Vajra lock, and with a sudden force, bound him behind his back, saying, "If I use a little more force, your arm will break."

"Even if it can be cured, it will probably take one or two months."

"you!"

Yang Shidao's eyes were filled with rage, and he was about to reach out with his other hand, but was stopped by the head of the Yang family, who said, "Enough."

"You've already lost the battle; there's no need to fight anymore."

"Patriarch, I haven't lost yet," Yang Shidao said, unconvinced.

"His innate true energy is more refined than yours, and he has obviously entered the late stage of the innate realm earlier than you. If you want to turn the tide, you should train hard from now on and fight again in the future."

Yang Shidao looked up and saw the face of the Yang family head, then immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes, family head."

Xu Mingwei then released his hand.

"Impressive, my brother-in-law," Yang Shichang praised with a smile.

Xu Mingwei smiled faintly and walked to Yang Ronghua's side. "Father, you're amazing!" Xu Dezhao looked up at Xu Mingwei, his eyes full of admiration.

At this moment, Yang Zhao came to the head of the Yang family, clasped his hands and said, "Head of the family, Ming Wei is slightly better. Then let's stick to what we agreed on before and talk again in six years?"

The head of the Yang family looked at Yang Zhao with slight dissatisfaction.

His cousin was biased towards outsiders; he saw through the family's scheme but still helped the Xu family, which disappointed him.

However, he also knew that Yang Zhao might not agree to the Yang family's actions today, which was why he did not notify them in advance.

Who would have thought that it would be ruined by a young man from the Xu family.

As a prominent family in the city, they should naturally possess the demeanor of a great clan.

His gaze swept over the Xu brothers, Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingyuan, and he thought to himself, "The Xu family is indeed full of talented people, and my cousin's judgment is indeed excellent."

"Give the Xu family a hundred years, and perhaps there's a one or two chance they could catch up with my Yang family."

After a moment's thought, he turned his gaze back to Yang Zhao and said calmly, "Since my cousin has spoken on his behalf, then so be it."

Yang Zhao's face lit up with joy, and he cupped his hands again, saying, "Thank you, Patriarch. I will take Mingwei and the others back now."

"Wait a minute."

Yang Zhao had just turned around when he heard this, so he turned back again and looked over in surprise, "Is there anything else the patriarch needs to instruct?"

“Previously, I underestimated the Xu family, but what you said is true. The Xu family does indeed have extraordinary potential and can be a future ally for my Yang family. Since the head of the Xu family is here, how about the Yang and Xu families form another marriage alliance?”

"Another marriage alliance?" Yang Zhao was slightly taken aback.

Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingyuan exchanged glances, sensing something was amiss.

This is a case of one plan failing, so another is devised.

Apart from Yang Zhao's family, they really didn't want to have any further connection with the Yang family.

As for the so-called six-year agreement, it's nothing more than a delaying tactic.

After returning, even though the two of them were helpless, they firmly believed that Xu Chuan would find a way to stop it.

"What do you think of the state of the world?" the head of the Yang family asked.

“My nephew Shidao is the most outstanding of his generation. He is also the most diligent in martial arts training. He trains in the coldest winter and hottest summer without interruption. Few people in the county can match him.”

"Yes, he is devoted to martial arts, which is why he is still unmarried."

Yang Zhao immediately understood and blurted out, "Does the patriarch want Shidao to marry a woman from the Xu family?"

“It is normal for prominent families to form a marriage alliance. If the relationship between the two families becomes even closer, my Yang family will definitely do our best to help the Xu family develop in the county town.”

Yang Zhao remained silent.

However, Xu Mingwei said, "Patriarch Yang, it's not that I'm unwilling, but my younger sister is still young. Although I have become the head of the Xu family, my father is still alive, and it is not up to me, the elder brother, to decide Xueji's marriage."

"Too young?" The head of the Yang family looked at Yang Zhao.

"Not quite fifteen yet," Yang Zhao said.

"She's not young anymore, she's old enough to get married."

Xu Mingyuan also cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch Yang, my elder brother is not making excuses. Based on Brother Shidao's performance just now, even in the county town, there would probably be countless noble ladies willing to marry him."

However, my father arranged the marriages of all my siblings; my eldest brother had no such authority.

"Sure?"

“Patriarch, I am willing to testify to this matter. My brother Chuan is indeed a man of great influence in the Xu family. Moreover, marriage is arranged by parents and matchmakers, which is a matter of basic ethics. If the parents are deceased, then the eldest brother should make the decision.”

Seeing their hesitation, the head of the Yang family became dissatisfied. "Then let it be a year from now, when she turns sixteen. Most daughters of noble families get married at this age."

Xu Mingyuan added, "My younger sister comes from the countryside and has been mischievous since childhood. It will probably take her six years to mature and become worthy of being compared to Brother Shidao. I hope Patriarch Yang will forgive her."

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhao looked at Xu Mingyuan with a surprised and puzzled expression.

Good grief, another six-year agreement?
Aren't you afraid of angering my cousin?!
At this moment, he dared not look at his cousin's face, assuming that his face must have turned as black as charcoal.
