If you want to compete for this, the Shangguan Clan must first possess the power of the ten major Immortal Sects.

"As long as Brother Chen doesn't mistreat my sister in the future."

"Brother Shangguan, rest assured, I won't mistreat Ah Hong in the future." She will soon be his woman, and Chen Yuan is not the type to be cold-hearted or unfaithful.

"Your words put my mind at ease."

Simplifying the matters of forming an alliance with the Shangguan Clan, both Chen Yuan and Shangguan Yu were actually very happy in their hearts, having known each other since humble beginnings, their friendship was not shallow.

No one wishes to see their friendship turn to enmity because of some interests.

After hosting Shangguan Yu for a few hours and sharing a meal, Shangguan Yu stood up to say goodbye. Chen Yuan walked him to the gate before returning to continue his practice, preparing for the trip to the South State.

On the other hand, ever since returning from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, Shangguan Hong had been impatient, pacing back and forth in the inn, wondering why Shangguan Yu hadn't returned yet.

What was the outcome of the affair?

No one even sent a message or anything.

It wasn't until the night grew dark that Shangguan Yu finally hurriedly arrived at the inn where he resided. As soon as he pushed open the door, Shangguan Hong's face lit up with a smile, she quickly offered a cup of warm tea and gently asked:

"Brother, you're back."

"Were you anxious waiting?" Shangguan Yu teased, expecting Shangguan Hong to shyly avoid the question, but instead she nodded seriously:

"I was anxious, quickly tell me, what's Brother Chen's intention?"

Shangguan Yu gazed at her for a moment, lightly sighed, and sat down slowly.

Shangguan Hong's heart skipped a beat, a wrenching pain surged within her chest, she gritted her teeth, turned away, blinked her eyes, then turned back and said with a smile:

"It's alright, Brother Chen is now famous worldwide, with overflowing power, it's normal for him not to notice me. Don't let it damage the bond between you two brothers over me.

I, Shangguan Hong, actually... actually don't like getting married, I'm wholly dedicated to Martial Arts. Who knows, one day I might become the first female in our Shangguan Family to achieve Yang Transformation."

She indeed liked Chen Yuan greatly, especially when he saved her out of despair, and her feelings reached their peak then.

Later, the matter of Liangzhou City spread to Shuzhou. If not for Shangguan Tiehong and Shangguan Yu working together to confine her at home, she would have really gone to Liangzhou City alone with her sword.

Everyone needs to have a hope.

But that doesn't mean she has no dignity. Liking someone is one thing, but she doesn't want to be so humble. If they are emotionally connected, it's ideal, but if forced, she would rather remain alone.

Her personality is somewhat similar to Shen Yanshu's, both having a heroic spirit.

"It's late, brother, you should rest early. I... I need some fresh air; recently, having father around has suffocated me."

Shangguan Hong smiled and turned to leave.

Just as she pushed open the door, Shangguan Yu's voice quietly reached her ears:

"Really willing to give up?"

"Daughters of Jianghu, never care about trivial romance, he has great aspirations, and so do I."

Shangguan Hong took a step out of the room.

"If that's the case, forget it. I was about to say that this marriage was settled. Since you don't want it, then forget it. Go, go, get some fresh air as…"

Before Shangguan Yu could finish his words, Shangguan Hong, who had stepped outside, retracted her foot and slammed the door closed, drawing her sword from her waist and glaring at Shangguan Yu:

"Shangguan Yu, how dare you mock me?!"

"I'm not mocking you, merely lamenting that girls grow up and can't be kept. Didn't expect you to have such aspirations, as your brother, I'll support you. Being a heroine is better than being someone's little wife, right?"

Shangguan Yu chuckled.

While this was said, Shangguan Hong's sword shimmered with cold light, impulsively stabbing out a sword. Her embarrassment just now was exposed entirely, it was definitely Shangguan Yu's deliberate tease!

"Little sister, don't be impulsive, do you still want to marry Chen Yuan?"

With the sword tip just a foot from his eyes, Shangguan Yu quickly responded.

Swish—

The sword returned to its sheath.

Shangguan Hong stared at him, speaking solemnly:

"What's the matter?"

"The matter is settled, I'll talk it over with father and draft a marriage contract. However, the exact timing for the marriage hasn't been set. Probably not in the next year or two.

Brother Chen has too many affairs to handle, and no leisure time for such matters."

"Really?"

"Really."

"So, am I already his fiancée now?"

Shangguan Hong struggled to contain her joy, trying her best to maintain a cheerful expression.

"Wait a few more days."

"Phew…"

Shangguan Hong let out a breath and suddenly sat down, covering her face:

"Thank you, brother."

"Though this matter is settled, there's another matter that requires your opinion." Shangguan Yu sat opposite her, tapping the table.

"What matter?"

"Brother Chen told me, about being his legitimate wife you might…"

Shangguan Hong raised her head:

"I'm not suited for that, as long as I can be by his side."

"You are, after all, the Shangguan Family's legitimate daughter, can't you have a little ambition?" Shangguan Yu saw her immediately agree, without any reserve or hesitation, and felt a bit of disappointment.

"So, brother, can you make me Chen Family's legitimate wife?" Shangguan Hong asked suspiciously.

"No."

"Then why are you saying this?"

Shangguan Yu: "....."

"You haven't married out yet, but are already favoring him, what will happen once you do marry?" Shangguan Yu coughed twice, feeling his sister was a bit ungrateful.
