“Impudence!”

Hua Jingshan snarled, a chill in his eyes, and an intimidating aura surged toward Yang Zhen.

“Yang Zhen, what do you think you're doing? This is not a place for you to cause a ruckus!”

Hua Jingshan was in charge of the Hua Family, and his majestic aura was indisputable. Now that he was angry, the atmosphere around him instantly became tense.

Yang Zhen glanced at Hua Jingshan and said casually, “I don't want to do anything, I just want to disrupt this marriage.”

“Scoundrel!”

Before Hua Jingshan could speak, the Third Elder slapped the table dramatically, creating a thunderous noise, and pointed at Yang Zhen, saying:

“Yang Zhen, out of consideration for your talent, and the fact that Miss Youyue seems to think highly of you, I don't wish to make things too hard for you. This matter is not up to you, leave the Hua Family immediately, or don't blame me for being harsh.”

Hua Jingshan glanced at the silent Hua Youyue, he said solemnly, “Yang Zhen, don't make a fuss. This matter is of great importance, the Three Clan Elders have spoken, it's not your place.”

Xiao Ji was not angry anymore, instead, watching Yang Zhen being reprimanded by the elders of the Hua Family gave him great amusement.

As Hua Jingshan and the Three Clan Elders said, this matter was not something a small pawn like Yang Zhen could decide.

But why would the highly respected national teacher of Dajiang Country come so publicly to propose marriage, and be so sure the Hua Family would agree? Wouldn't this be a loss of face for Dajiang Country if the Hua Family refused the proposal?

The Hua Family desperately needed these resources. It could be said to be related to the development of the Hua Family in the next three years, or even the survival of the Hua Family after two years. So even if Hua Youyue was somewhat unwilling, it was not something she could reject.

Unless the Hua Family could come up with enough sincerity!

Now Yang Zhen was just a lucky youngster, daring to oppose this marriage proposal, simply courting death. The elders of the Hua Family alone were enough to make Yang Zhen lose face and unable to maintain his dignity.

However, Xiao Ji did not want to gamble, unwilling to bet whether the Hua Family would overreact to such a favored youngster. He wanted to use his own methods to shatter Yang Zhen's reputation, leaving him unable to step into the Hua Family ever again.

A playful expression flashed across Xiao Ji's face, he stepped forward and said, “Uncle Hua, Three Clan Elders, calm your anger. The reason why Yang Zhen rejects this engagement is due to his deep affection for Youyue. There's nothing wrong with that, so why not give him a chance to prove his sincerity and ability to protect Youyue?”

Upon hearing this, the crowd was taken aback, surprise painted on their faces.

“I did not expect that Xiao Ji would have such a broad mind, truly a role model.”

“Compared to Xiao Ji, Yang Zhen appears dim. No matter from which aspect, Yang Zhen is far behind Xiao Ji. How can he compete with Xiao Ji?”

A group of people discussed and praised Xiao Ji. Compared to him, nobody looked favorably upon Yang Zhen.

With his calm demeanor, the National Teacher of Dajiang Country was sitting at the main seat, watching Yang Zhen curiously. After hearing Xiao Ji's words, he nodded continuously, showing a smile on his face, obviously very pleased with Xiao Ji's performance.

In the crowd, Hua Youyue, the person directly involved, was virtually invisible, as if this matter had nothing to do with her. Even though she was the owner of Changyue Tower, she was just a daughter in the Council Hall of the Hua Family.

Hua Youyue frowned, looking anxiously at Yang Zhen. Now, Xiao Ji had pushed Yang Zhen to a very high position, not understating Yang Zhen, but boosting him to the same height as himself.

Yet how could Yang Zhen compare with Xiao Ji now?

This was undoubtedly elevating Yang Zhen just to drop him harder, and what's worse was that Yang Zhen, looked unperturbed, even winking at her secretly.

Xiao Ji, basked in the approval and adulation around him, looking triumphant. Yang Zhen found it extraordinary; Xiao Ji was no ordinary youngster. Firstly, he set up the atmosphere, raised the stakes, and then used an unbeatable measure to defeat Yang Zhen completely. Quite an impressive act.

Facing such a Xiao Ji, Yang Zhen felt interested and squinted at him.

Xiao Ji burst into hearty laughter, stood up tall and arrived at the center of the hall. He struck some boxes that had been placed there and said, “Don't say I didn't give Brother Yang a chance. Since Brother Yang wishes to thwart my marriage proposal, he surely must have brought a lot of dowry gifts. Let's compare whose gifts are more cherished, how about that?”

What?

Everyone inside the Council Hall shuddered, looking at Xiao Ji with a strange face. They finally realized what a huge trap Xiao Ji had laid for Yang Zhen.

Comparing dowry gifts?

The National Teacher of Dajiang Country's dowry gifts had even alarmed entire Flame City, even causing Princess Changfeng to be taken aback.

What could Yang Zhen offer to compete with Xiao Ji's dowry?

Hua Youyue's face turned pale, her greatest fear was realized. If they were to compare talents, Yang Zhen might not lose to Xiao Ji by much. Even compared to strength, Xiao Ji suppressed his strength to the ninth level of the Minor Mahayana Phase, he might not necessarily win against Yang Zhen easily.

But Xiao Ji didn't compare any of these, he directly compared the dowry gifts with Yang Zhen.

What could Yang Zhen use to compete with him?

This was like throwing an egg against a rock, Yang Zhen's egg hitting Xiao Ji's rock.

Standing beside Hua Youyue, Medicine Elder grimaced and grumbled, “Xiao Ji is utterly despicable, cunning and treacherous.”

Hearing this, Hua Youyue shivered. A strange look appeared on her face.

The comparison of cunning and treacherous behavior could only be competed by Yang Zhen, she quickly glanced at Yang Zhen.

Everyone was looking at Yang Zhen, waiting for his reaction.

Under everyone's gaze, Yang Zhen seemed to be paralyzed, his eyes unfocused, his face expressing despair, disappointment, helplessness, and loneliness.

It's over!

A sinking feeling came over Hua Youyue and others. In terms of momentum, Yang Zhen had already lost.

A slight smirk appeared on Xiao Ji's face, so subtle that it would go unnoticed if not observed closely.

Everyone understood, Yang Zhen had lost!

What no one knew was that Yang Zhen was angry, trembling with rage. He pointed at Xiao Ji and shouted, “Have you no shame?”

Xiao Ji was taken aback, completely bewildered as he looked at Yang Zhen.

The crowd, too, was equally puzzled, unsure what Yang Zhen was about to do.

“Out of all the things to compare, why dowries? Can you justify all my hard work preparing for this?”

Yang Zhen became even more furious. He walked up to Xiao Ji, pointed his finger at Xiao Ji's nose and cursed, “Bastard, you've been trying to anger me so you can inherit my Ant Credit, haven't you? Aren't you a genius? Let's see who has a better talent, a better spiritual root, a faster cultivation speed, a greater understanding!”

Xiao Ji's mouth twitched.

Everyone's mouth twitched.

Think you can win this?

Yang Zhen was truly angry. His efforts over the past few days were in vain, and he was not trembling, “Aren't you going to be the next National Master, well-versed in everything in the world? Then, let's compete in knowledge of the mysteries of the universe, face reading, stargazing!”

Xiao Ji:”???”

Everyone:”???”

Can't win this one either, huh?

“Eve wasted so many days. I'm not going to compete with you anymore. I had thought you were a king, but you turned out to be a bronze. Comparing dowries? Who would have thought that you'd come up with such a thing? Can a dowry determine the happiness of a marriage? If so, should poor people not get married? Huh?”

Yang Zhen's finger was practically poking Xiao Ji's nose. Then, with a sigh, he turned and walked towards the door. His departure was full of heartache and disappointment, giving everyone the illusion of a hero at dusk, seemingly disappointed with Xiao Ji.

This…

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why Yang Zhen was so agitated.

Xiao Ji's face was pale, as he gaped at Yang Zhen. After a while, a sudden realization lit up his eyes, and he exclaimed, “What a great escape act!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Then, realization struck them – Yang Zhen knew he was unable to compete and was creating a scene to slip away?

Seeing him walking out like that, as if he had no intention of competing, plus with what Xiao Ji said, everyone suddenly felt that this was indeed the case and began to despise Yang Zhen.

“What, you're not going to compete, or…you simply don't dare to compete?” Xiao Ji taunted Yang Zhen with a look that said he saw through everything.

Yang Zhen turned his head in a strange manner, looking at Xiao Ji like he was a fool. As he walked back, he rolled up his sleeves, “Fine, let's compete. Whoever loses will leave everything behind and call the winner 'master'. How about it?”

A certain smirk of victory was on Xiao Ji's face.

The smile on Yang Zhen's face was even deeper. He was secretly overjoyed.

The pitfall you're falling into is even deeper than you could ever imagine. It's a sequence of traps – a big trap ensnaring a small one, a small one entrapping an old one. There's water in the pit, and nails in the water. Once you fall in, you're gone.

However, there was one thing Yang Zhen didn't lie about; He had indeed prepared for days, considered all situations. Only, he could never have imagined that Xiao Ji wanted to compete in terms of dowries.

Lose in terms of dowries?

Yang Zhen disagreed. The heavenly treasures within his numerous rings also disagreed..
