Li Ke looked at Chen Yang awkwardly. ‘That is what I’m saying. Ancestor Xue won’t agree.’

Chen Yang gave Li Ke a look in return. ‘Don’t worry, leave it to me.’

“Ancestor Xue, do you know who we’re here for?”

“No matter who it is, my Li family will never agree!” Ancestor Xue frowned and did not back down.

When Chen Yang heard this, a playful smile appeared on his face. “Oh? Even my Patriarch can’t do it?”

“What did you say?” Ancestor Xue suddenly stood up, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped Chen Yang.

Ancestor Xue’s sudden outburst frightened Chen Xuan so much that he could not care less. He also used his Genesis Aura to help Chen Yang withstand the pressure.

Ancestor Xue glanced at Chen Xuan and said coldly, “I didn’t expect you to break through to the Genesis Realm one day. It seems that your Patriarch likes you.”

“Chen Xuan is being disrespectful, please punish me, Ancestor Xue.” Chen Xuan braced himself.

“It’s fine.” Ancestor Xue retracted her aura and said agitatedly, “Chen boy, what did you just say?”

“I said, I’m here to propose marriage to Ancestor Xue on behalf of my Patriarch,” Chen Yang said word by word.

“No, Family Head Chen, what do you mean?” Li Ke was stunned. He had thought that the Chen family had taken a fancy to one of their genius disciples.

Who would have thought that he would directly take drastic measures and covet their Ancestor?

“It has nothing to do with you!” Elder Xue scolded Li Ke before looking at Chen Yang with a smile. “Chen Yang, are you serious? Will your Patriarch agree?”

From his tone, Chen Yang could tell that Ancestor Xue was still thinking about his Patriarch.

Then, Chen Yang clapped his hands.

The clansmen on guard outside the reception hall heard this and wheeled a truck into the hall.

The truck was filled with all kinds of treasures. Clearly, Chen Xuan and Chen Meng had put in a lot of effort.

“These are the betrothal gifts from my Chen family. There’s also an eighth-grade martial technique. As long as Ancestor Xue agrees to the marriage, these things will belong to the Li family.”

Chen Yang took out a martial arts manual and placed it on the table. Then, he looked at Ancestor Xue.

In order to show the Chen family’s sincerity, Chen Yang even copied a copy of the eighth-grade martial arts that Chen Xuan had obtained and brought it here.

“The betrothal gift is not bad, but it’s still the same question. Did your Patriarch really agree?” What Ancestor Xue wanted to know the most now was what the Chen family’s Patriarch wanted.

When Chen Xuan heard this, he said with a serious expression, “Our Patriarch often talks about how the person he owes the most in his life is you, Ancestor Xue.”

“Furthermore, he told us more than once that if the Chen family did not rely on him one day,

He will definitely bring Ancestor Xue to find a small hut in the forest. He will accompany her every day and enjoy the carefree days of the world.”

“He really said that?” Ancestor Xue trembled with excitement.

However, noticing the looks of the others, she coughed and returned to her former state.

“Sigh, if I were still young, I would have promised you no matter what. But now, I’m also the Ancestor of the family and have experienced Brother Tao’s hardships.”

“If I abandon my family to follow Brother Tao, not only will Brother Tao be unwilling, but I will also feel ashamed to face my family,” Ancestor Xue said sadly.

“Ancestor, there’s also a solution to this matter.”

“There’s a solution?” Ancestor Xue looked at Chen Yang in shock. What else can you not do?

“To tell Ancestor Xue the truth. Our alliance with the Li family is to fight the Gongsun family to the death.”

“If we win this battle, the meat cut from the three families will be enough for the Li family to produce two Genesis Ancestors.”

“Then, when Ancestor Xue marries my Chen family, outsiders and the Li family won’t say anything.”

“If we lose, there will be no Chen family in the world. When our Patriarch returns, he can naturally marry into the Li family and resist the alliance of the three great families with the Li family,” Chen Yang said.

Ancestor Xue’s dim eyes lit up again. According to Chen Yang, regardless of whether the matter succeeded or not, she could marry Brother Tao.

It was done. The Li family had earned a lot. Even if she left again, she would not let the Li family down.

If they lost, the Li family would hide in Li City. When Brother Tao returned, they could only join forces with the Li family to take revenge.

“Okay, I agree.” Ancestor Xue’s face bloomed with a smile that made the flowers pale.

It turned out that there were two complete laws in this world.

Li Ke was stunned. His ancestor had sold herself out just like that?

However, on careful thought, it didn’t seem to be a loss. If he won, Li Ke would become a Genesis Patriarch himself.

When the time came, he would marry Ancestor Xue to the Chen family. Not only would he earn a good reputation, but he would also be tied to the Chen family.

If they lost, the Li family would also obtain the Chen family’s ancestor. It would not be a loss no matter what.

Li Ke could not help but look at Chen Yang. This young head of the Chen family was a good person.

Outside Li City.

After leaving the Li family, the three of them went straight to Mo City. Although Chen Yang had thought of the marriage alliance with Mo City by chance, it was indeed a good plan, so they naturally had to implement it.

On the way, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “Master, what is the Li family thinking? They even married their Ancestor to us. That Li Ke even thanked us.”

“Hehe, he might have treated the family head as a good person.” Chen Meng took over and smiled.

Chen Yang glanced at Chen Meng. “I’ve always been a good person. It’s just that they might make a profit, but I’ll never lose out.”

As Li City was adjacent to Mo City, Chen Yang and the others arrived at Mo City within two days.

In the Mo Family in Mo City.

When he heard that Chen Yang was visiting him, Family Head Mo hurriedly led a group of elders out to welcome him.

In Nanyang County, only the Mo family and the Chen family had the best relationship.

It was said that when the Mo family’s ancestor was young, he had received the favor of the Chen family’s ancestor. It was precisely because of the special relationship between the two families that Chen Xuan wanted to have the marriage alliance with the Mo family.

“I didn’t know that you were here, Family Head Chen. Please forgive me.” Seeing Chen Yang and the others arrive at the entrance of the Mo Family residence, Family Head Mo hurriedly went forward to welcome them.

We don’t dare to deserve this. We’ll have to disturb Family Head Mo for a while this time. Family Head Mo, please don’t find us annoying.”

“You flatter me.”

Accompanied by the head of the Mo family, the group entered the reception hall.

After everyone was seated, Family Head Mo asked, “May I ask why you’re here?”

The two families had a good relationship, so Family Head Mo did not stand on ceremony and directly asked Chen Yang the reason for his trip.

“Family Head Mo, we’re here to form an alliance with the Mo family to resist the alliance of the Gongsun family and the other two aristocratic families.” Chen Yang went straight to the point.

“Oh? Does Family Head Chen have any plans?”

Immediately, Chen Yang informed Family Head Mo of the plans with Family Head Li word for word.

After hearing this, Family Head Mo lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, “Alright, Family Head Chen is right. Our Mo family agrees to this alliance.”

Seeing that the Mo Family Head had agreed so readily, Chen Yang was still a little stunned. In fact, Chen Yang was already prepared to marry himself to the Mo Family.
