Just as Ye Chen was puzzled, there was a commotion outside the hall.
Walking out of the door, Xiao Chen saw more than ten people standing quietly in the courtyard. These people were dressed elegantly and had good manners. Obviously, they were not ordinary people.
Ye Chen noticed that in the middle of these people, there was a middle-aged man in platinum armor. The two of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the courtyard was completely frozen.
"Mayor, why are you here?" Lin Chuxue covered her red lips, full of surprise.
The man in platinum armor was the mayor of Blackwater City, Ning Xiaoyao.
Other than Ning Xiaoyao, the people standing behind him were all famous nobles of Blackwater City. Their status was extraordinary, and there were even some hidden experts. They had all rushed over.
"Xiao Chen, my friend, I, Ning Xiaoyao, came uninvited. Please don't blame me."
Ning Xiaoyao came from the military camp, and there was a murderous aura around him. Seeing that Ye Chen was not moved at all, he was secretly impressed by this young man's determination.
"It is my honor to have the mayor and so many seniors to support me. I will remember what happened today and repay you generously in the future."
Ye Chen bowed his head and thanked him. At the same time, he glanced at Qin Yun. To be able to invite so many experts from Blackwater City, it must be this Old Urchin who was secretly behind the scenes.
Feeling Ye Chen's gaze, Qin Yun did not avoid it. Instead, he chuckled. Everything was understood without words.
Zhou Zhong looked at this huge team and was secretly speechless. He was extremely touched. He knew that Ye Chen was good to him, but he did not expect that Ye Chen would find so many important people to support him for his own marriage.
With such a team, even in the whole Ancient Yue Country, no one could beat them!
Bai Yuechang's father, Bai Zhenhua, the head of the Bai family, did not despise Zhou Zhong because he had no power and could not compete with the Chang family?
Now, with such a team, let's see what Bai Zhenhua has to say.
"Set off!"
With Ye Chen's order, a group of more than thirty people rushed towards the Bai Family. Along the way, some martial artists and commoners who did not know the situation were almost paralyzed on the spot when they saw such a group. They thought that Ye Chen was going to destroy the Bai and Chang Families.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Bai family.
For this marriage alliance, Chang Houde had gathered the most powerful members of the upper echelons of the Chang Clan. Apart from that, he had also invited some experts he was familiar with to boost his momentum.
It was obvious that Chang Houde was determined to win today's marriage.
Chang Kuan himself had also dressed up meticulously. He looked much more spirited, but there was still a trace of arrogance and disdain in the depths of his eyes.
"Chang Kuan greets the seniors of the Bai Clan."
Bai Zhenhua and his wife, Lin Nianci, were seated at the head of the table. They looked at Chang Kuan, Chang Houde, and the others, but there was not much joy on their faces.
"Blackwater City is in turmoil today, and the Chang Clan has some troubles to deal with. Clan Master Chang, don't you think that you are too hasty to propose marriage now?"
In the arena, Bai Zhenhua heard Ye Chen's words and felt that it was reasonable. His attitude toward the Chang Clan was obviously much colder.
"It is precisely because of the turmoil in Blackwater City that the marriage alliance is so urgent," Chang Houde said loudly.
"In Blackwater City, the Lin Clan is the most powerful clan. Now that Xiao Chen has suddenly appeared, it will undoubtedly strengthen the Lin Clan. If our clans continue to be independent, I'm afraid that in the near future, we will be swallowed up one by one, and not even dregs will be left."
Bai Zhenhua was stunned. This was a serious matter, and he had to think carefully.
"Father, I don't want to marry Chang Kuan!"
A beautiful figure walked out from the inner hall. She was a peerless beauty with a petite figure and a pretty face. Her facial features were as delicate as a porcelain doll's. Anyone who saw her would feel a sense of tenderness towards her.
This person was Bai Yuechang.
Bai Yuechang's beautiful brows knit together tightly as she shouted in a delicate voice, "Zhou Zhong and I have been engaged since long ago, so how can I be transferred to someone else? Not to mention, this Chang Kuan is rude and overbearing, and he idles about all day long. If you want me to marry him, it's equivalent to pushing me into a pit of fire. Could it be that you're so cruel?"
"Sister Yuechang, those are all rumors about me. You don't have to believe them. My sincerity toward you can be seen by the sun and the moon. I will definitely take good care of you, protect you, and not let others bully you. As for that Zhou Zhong, he is weak and has no power. He will only make you suffer." In front of so many people, Chang Kuan maintained a certain level of demeanor.
"In your dreams. In this life, I, Bai Yuechang, will not marry anyone other than Zhou Zhong. Even if I die, I will not marry anyone else." Bai Yuechang pointed at Chang Kuan and the others. There was a trace of determination in her voice.
"Yuechang, don't be agitated. We can discuss this matter properly."
Lin Nianci loved her daughter dearly. Naturally, she did not want to see her daughter unhappy. However, it was difficult to defy the clan's orders.
At this moment, a report came from outside.
"Reporting to the Patriarch, there seems to be a marriage proposal team outside."
Bai Yuechang's graceful body stood up abruptly. "Is Zhou Zhong here?
Let them in. "
Bai Zhenhua's face was gloomy. He shouted angrily, "Yuechang, sit down!
Zhou Zhong is a poor boy. Even if he brings people to propose marriage, it will be difficult for him to show his face. You are a girl. How can you be so frivolous? "
"Patriarch Bai is right. Zhou Zhong is not worthy of Sister Yuechang. Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words. This is in line with traditional ethics." Chang Kuan laughed sinisterly.
Bai Zhenhua waved his hand and raised his eyebrows. "Go, kick that team out. Tell him that our Bai Family does not welcome him. If he does not obey, beat him to death."
"Patriarch, I'm afraid this is not possible." The servant who reported the news was a little embarrassed.
"Why not?
Do you think our Bai Family is afraid of a powerless youth? "Bai Zhenhua was so angry that he slammed his palm on the table, spilling tea everywhere.
"There are quite a few important figures in Blackwater City in the group that came. Even the City Lord is among them."
"What?" Bai Zhenhua was surprised.
"I saw Zhou Zhong and Xiao Chen in this group. My guess is that they are here to propose marriage for Zhou Zhong," the servant said truthfully.
"That's impossible!"
Chang Kuan immediately shook his head. "Zhou Zhong is just an outsider. How could he find so many people to propose marriage for him? Although he is close to Xiao Chen, don't forget that when Xiao Chen was about to be beaten to death by my father in the arena, no one stepped in to stop him. They must be a fox pretending to be a tiger."
Then, Chang Houde nodded. "Xiao Chen only hangs around with Lin Changtian. He is not worthy of our attention. If Patriarch Bai does not believe me, you can let them in. Everything will be decided."
"Let them in."
Bai Zhenhua waved his hand. Before long, the entire team was outside the door.
The large group of familiar faces caused a stir in the Bai Family.
"City Lord, it is my honor to have all of you here today. However, I have some matters to attend to. Can you wait for a moment?"
"We are not here today to drink tea, nor are we here as guests. We are here to help little brother Zhou Zhong propose marriage. For that, we have even brought our betrothal gifts. Since we are here today, why don't we just get married right now?"
Everyone was shocked.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Zhou Zhong. There was a dead silence.
