Li Yitong could hardly believe it.

Especially after hearing what her father and second uncle said, her brain felt like it was about to shut down.

What is going on?! Am I supposed to just throw myself at him?!

Yet, the bizarre events continued to unfold.

Li Yifeng looked at Li Cangyun and Li Cangmu with a face full of sorrow and anger.

"Dad! Second Uncle! What are you talking about!"

"My sister might have a bit of a temper, but she's beautiful! It's Grandmaster Chen's good fortune to be with her. My sister is more than worthy of him!"

Li Cangyun shot his son an annoyed look. "You brat, talking out of turn. Is this any place for a child to interrupt when adults are speaking?!"

With that, he kicked out.

Li Yifeng was sent flying from the front hall with a single kick.

"Sigh, Big Brother, don't be so angry. Our main priority is to talk with Yi Tong!"

Li Cangmu had now become a peacemaker, his previously aggressive demeanor completely gone.

Li Cangyun let out a breath, then turned to his daughter with a gentle smile. His expression changed faster than one could flip through a book.

"Yi Tong, what do you think? This is your opportunity, and it's an opportunity for our Li Family!"

Li Cangyun said tenderly, "Besides, you've said before that you want to marry a powerful man. Doesn't Grandmaster Chen fit your criteria perfectly?"

Li Yitong's eye twitched.

She had only said that to fend off suitors who were only interested in the Li Family's influence and wanted to form a marriage alliance. She never expected her father to remember it so clearly!

She let out a helpless sigh. "Dad! Chen Zheng is already legally married. Even if they haven't held the ceremony, he's a married man!"

For some reason, as she said this, a wave of sadness washed over her.

"My dear niece, you're a girl from a traditional martial arts family. Why are you so concerned with such conventional notions?"

"In our martial arts community, we never care about such things. If your father wasn't... unable... he'd surely have taken multiple wives by now!" Li Cangmu stated with great seriousness.

However, the words had barely left his mouth before Li Cangyun slapped him. "What do you mean I'm unable?! Are you asking for another beating?!"

"You are! Otherwise, why would you only have one wife!" Li Cangmu retorted angrily, covering his mouth.

Ignoring the two clownish middle-aged men, Li Yitong felt her spirits lift considerably after hearing her second uncle's words. Still, she shot her father and second uncle an irritated glance.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll make my own decisions about my life. I won't follow your arrangements!"

With that, Li Yitong stormed out of the front hall.

Li Cangmu rubbed his temples in resignation. "Big Brother, I think we need to take this slowly. You're being too hasty!"

But Li Cangyun waved his hand dismissively. "No need, no need! I don't think Yi Tong is opposed to the idea at all!"

He knew his own daughter best; he had seen right through her thoughts just moments ago.

"What? Big Brother, did you figure something out?" Li Cangmu asked excitedly.

Li Cangyun smiled slightly and nodded with confidence.

At that moment, the two great figures of the traditional martial arts families looked like a pair of pimps, their demeanor suddenly turning sleazy.

...

In the afternoon, the Liu Family arrived at the Li residence with gifts, but Chen Zheng had already left.

The Head of the Liu Family looked like a man who'd won the jackpot only to lose the lottery ticket; he was on the verge of tears.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that people from the Su Family had also arrived!

"Su Yunduan, what are you doing here?" Li Cangmu asked, his brow furrowed.

He immediately grew wary. The Liu Family and the Li Family are old acquaintances, so I can't show my annoyance. But seeing the Su Family too, I can't hold it in! Damn it! There are too many competitors! These bastards must also be trying to get close to Grandmaster Chen!

Su Yunduan was the cousin of the Su Family Head. Now that the head's cultivation had been crippled, reducing him to an ordinary person, the position naturally fell to Su Yunduan.

Su Yunduan, however, ignored Li Cangmu and addressed Li Cangyun directly, saying, "Family Head Li, I am here today representing the Su Family!"

"I have arranged a banquet at a hotel in Magic Capital, specifically to apologize to him!"

Before Li Cangyun could speak, Li Cangmu cut in with a sneer. "Here to invite Grandmaster Chen, are you? My apologies, but Grandmaster Chen is no longer at our Li Family estate. You should be on your way!"

Su Yunduan was taken aback for a moment. He then let out a breath and produced an invitation card, handing it over. "Brother Li, would it be possible to ask Miss Li Yitong to inform Grandmaster Chen? My deepest thanks in advance!"

His attitude was incredibly deferential, stopping just short of kowtowing to Li Cangyun and Li Cangmu.

But he had no choice. In the world of traditional martial arts, strength is respected above all else.

Seeing him act this way, Li Cangmu fell silent and looked toward his older brother.

Li Cangyun sighed. "Very well, I will have Yi Tong speak with Grandmaster Chen."

Hearing this, Su Yunduan immediately brightened. "Then I am greatly indebted to you, Family Head Li!"

"If Grandmaster Chen graces us with his presence, I would also like to invite both of you Family Heads to join us. Our Su Family wishes to apologize to you both as well and resolve the conflict from the arena!"

Li Cangyun nodded. "Good."

The Liu Family Head also nodded. "Of course. The relationship between our three families goes back more than a hundred years!"

Su Yunduan bowed with clasped hands toward the two men. "Then, I shall take my leave!"

After he had departed, Li Cangmu asked, "Big Brother, should we have Yi Tong contact Grandmaster Chen now?"

Li Cangyun waved his hand. "Grandmaster Chen just left; he must have his own business to attend to. Let's wait until tomorrow. Besides, Grandmaster Chen came all the way from Yunzhou, so he'll have trouble getting around. Have Yi Tong take a car over to him tomorrow."

...

「The next morning.」

After washing up, Chen Zheng was preparing to go out for a walk.

The moment he opened the door, he saw Li Yitong and Li Yifeng standing outside, looking as if they had been waiting for some time.

"When did you two get here? Why didn't you knock?" Chen Zheng asked, a little puzzled.

Li Yifeng just huffed coldly at Chen Zheng and turned his head away.

Chen Zheng: "???"

What's gotten into him?

Li Yitong spoke up, "My father told us not to disturb your rest, so we waited at the door."

Chen Zheng scratched his head. These people from the traditional martial arts world are really something else...

Li Yitong suddenly grew a little bashful and said, "My father asked me to bring you a car. He knows you aren't familiar with Magic Capital, and he also wants me to be your driver!"

Before she left, Li Cangyun and Li Cangmu had drilled it into her head that she must stick close to Grandmaster Chen. It would be best, they said, if she had a couple of children with him.

This made Li Yitong feel incredibly awkward whenever she looked at Chen Zheng.
