Chapter 109 Sun Baifa's Conditions for Marrying Off His Granddaughter

Sun Baifa slammed his fist on the table, his tone tinged with annoyance. "You brat, don't think that just because you're the young master of the Huashan Sect and the master of the Hengshan Sect you can covet my granddaughter. You're a womanizer, and I won't let my granddaughter be with someone like you!"

"Grandpa! Brother Lu is different; he's very kind to everyone. Last time, Sister Lingshan even told me that if I'm willing to marry into his family, she'll personally come to propose marriage!"

Sun Xiaohong got anxious and couldn't even tell that this was just an angry outburst; she blurted out everything that was on her mind.

For a moment, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Sun Baifa was fuming, his movements so abrupt and erratic that it was a close call for him. Lu Ming, on the other hand, had a playful expression. He didn't mind, but he felt sorry for his brother Li Xunhuan.

Sun Xiaohong was incredibly shy, yet she still firmly grasped Lu Ming's hand, her eyes filled with a long-suppressed rebelliousness as she looked at her grandfather. She knew her grandfather meant well, but now that she had met the man she admired, she really didn't want to miss out—he was handsome, capable, and so gentle with her!

Lu Ming also held her small hand appropriately, their fingers intertwined, their palms conveying warmth and giving her confidence.

Sun Baifa nearly fainted from shock, his face turning ashen. He had intended to see what made the rising star of the Hengshan Sect different, perhaps even hoping to forge a deeper connection, but he never imagined that while he was there to make friends, the other party was eyeing his granddaughter!

This is outrageous! You scoundrels!

If they didn't speak up now, the pressure would fall on the woman. Lu Ming smiled and said, "Senior also wants Xiao Hong to find a good family to entrust her life to, preferably one that can stay away from the troubles of the martial world, or at the very least someone who can protect her, right?"

"As the number one on the weapons ranking list, you are always on the run, either living a carefree life or worrying about your enemies. Moreover, you are now injured, so you are even more worried about the safety of Miss Xiao Hong. Please rest assured, Elder Sun, if you trust me, let me take your pulse."

Sun Xiaohong looked at her grandfather in surprise: "Grandpa, are you injured?"

Sun Baifa took a deep breath, a hint of shock in his eyes: "How did you know?"

He shut up as soon as he finished speaking. Could there be any doubt about his ability to cure Hua Manlou's eye ailment and the paralysis of Yu Daiyan, one of the two heroes of Wudang?

He decisively reached out, not caring about saving face. With a readily available miracle doctor, why not take advantage of it?

Lu Ming chuckled and reached out, closing his eyes and occasionally frowning: "It seems you're somewhat listless, and you also have years of internal injuries that have invaded your lungs and internal organs. The blood stasis has been accumulating in your body for years and has now begun to cause disease. If it weren't for your profound internal strength to suppress it, an ordinary person would already be dead."

Sun Xiaohong exclaimed in surprise, her voice filled with worry, "Brother Lu, is there any hope for my grandfather?"

These words made Sun Baifa roll his eyes. Although it was out of concern that he was confused, it sounded like he was about to die: "Kid, this is a hidden injury I got from fighting someone in the past. I was trying to break through to a higher realm in recent years and I was injured by accident. This is not easy to treat. It involves the Three Flowers. Although your medical skills are superb, this kind of injury is not something that ordinary doctors can understand. They can't even reach the threshold, let alone treat it."

Lu Ming shook his head, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and gave a slight nod. Sun Xiaohong obediently refilled his glass and even fed him a bite of food, just like a virtuous wife serving her husband.

"I thought your intelligence network had heard about my exploits. I told you, as long as you're not dead, I can save you. If the Three Flowers Unity technique of a Grandmaster or higher is damaged, it might be a bit of a headache. But please forgive my bluntness, your current condition is a big problem for others, but it's nothing to worry about for me."

"It's fortunate that you met me, senior. If it had been delayed for another year or two, your bodily functions would have failed, and you wouldn't have been able to suppress the internal injuries and lesions. Even a god would have to shake his head in despair. Now that you've been cured, with your talent and experience, you might be able to try to reach a higher realm. At that time, any concerns will be insignificant in the face of absolute strength."

What a boastful tone!

If anyone else had said that, Sun Baifa would have definitely used the Heavenly Secret Staff Technique to teach them a lesson: young man, don't brag!

But if it was Lu Ming who said this, the universally acknowledged miracle doctor, then that's a different story.

Is there hope for further advancement in martial arts?

This temptation was far more real than any gold or silver. Sun Baifa was not alone, nor did he only have one granddaughter. He had the Sun family behind him. If it weren't for the bloodshed that ensued when the Weapon Rankings were published, forcing him to go into hiding to preserve the Sun family, those ambitious martial artists would probably have already razed the Sun family to the ground.

Compared to the Jin family, the Sun family is far inferior, lacking in foundation and resources. If he could advance further, he could protect his family. This is something no amount of gold and silver could buy. The Fuwei Escort Agency is a prime example; when strength is insufficient, possessing excessive wealth is a path to disaster.

Taking a deep drag on his pipe, Sun Baifa's cloudy eyes flashed with a sharp light: "If you can heal my injuries, I won't stand in the way of Xiao Hong's marriage. But if you want to marry Xiao Hong, you'll need to prove yourself. Here's what we'll do: recently, many martial arts practitioners have come to the capital and set up arenas in the city for those with excess energy to spar and compete."

"That was set up by the Dragon Guard Manor. They say it's for exchanging martial arts skills and improving together, but really it's just a way to select the strongest martial artists. Your master, Sect Leader Yue, has already joined the Dragon Guard Manor, so you won't have too many troubles fighting in the arena. As long as you can defend your position for twenty rounds, proving you have the ability, I'll arrange for Xiao Hong to marry you. Kid, do you dare?"

This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment act of trying to cheat people. While gaining fame would bring resentment from the defeated, the strong have always been respected. As long as one's strength is sufficient, one can deter the wicked and make them think twice before acting. Furthermore, the Huashan Sword Demon's reputation is well-known; he's known for dismembering people at the drop of a hat. Despite this fearsome reputation, he's from a reputable sect and hasn't indiscriminately killed innocent people. Those who die are the ones who deserve to die, leaving no room for criticism.

While gaining fame, one can also further prove their strength. Superior medical skills can earn respect, but without real ability, one can still be targeted. Like Hu Qingniu of the Ming Cult, who was assassinated. Once dead, all previous favors are gone, and without offspring, there's even less chance of revenge.

Sun Xiaohong grew anxious and couldn't help but complain, "Grandpa, aren't you making things difficult for Brother Lu?"

She was of marriageable age and knew how hard her grandfather had worked all these years. She never threw a tantrum. She should have been a pampered young lady, enjoying a life of luxury. But instead, she chose to venture out into the world, walking among the common people. It was clear that she was kind-hearted, a hardworking and reliable young woman.

Sun Baifa shook his head and sighed, "The martial world is dangerous, and it looks like it'll get even more chaotic in the future. If he can't protect you, I'd rather you not marry him. At least I, this old man, can't watch you in danger; otherwise, I'd be letting your parents down. But if he really has the ability, what's wrong with me helping you find happiness?"

Parents always have the same heart. How could a grandfather possibly harm his granddaughter?
