Qiong Shan Hai glanced at him. "You're the only successor of the Zhu Clan. Can you marry into their family?
Alright, stop messing around. "
Zhu San anxiously said, "Uncle Qiong, I'm not messing around. Xi 'er is mine and will always be mine. I want to marry into the family and become their son-in-law."
Jade Mountain Sea ignored him completely.
Many people looked at Qiongxi 'er, wanting to see her reaction. Then, they saw a scene that made them speechless. Qiongxi' er was hugging Lil 'Nan and flirting with her. Her smile made her look like a playboy.
Everyone was speechless.
"Uncle Qiong, give me a chance. I must marry Xi 'er!" Zhu San shouted.
Qiongshan Hai frowned. "Impossible."
Zhu San looked dispirited, and she helplessly looked at Qiong Xi 'er as she yelled, "Xi' er, I can't take care of you anymore. You have to take care of our 12 children."
Everyone was shocked. Twelve children?
Qiong Xi 'er raised her head and said angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Zhu San's expression was innocent. "I can't hide it. You're not her anyway." He paused and smiled.
Jasper Mountain Sea was furious. "Get the hell out of here!"
Zhu San was thrown out of the Qionglin Banquet.
Qiong Shanhai hurriedly explained, but everyone looked at him strangely. Looking at Qiong Xi 'er's manly posture, it was not impossible. Moreover, Zhu San might be the victim. This tomboy seemed to be very casual about the matters between men and women. She even had her arm around someone's shoulder just now.
Qiongxi 'er was no longer in the mood to tease Xiao Nan. She was angered to death by Zhu San.
That guy was willing to do anything to marry Qiong Xi'er, and he really wasn't afraid of death.
Not long after, the Qionglin Banquet ended in a strange atmosphere.
Qiong Shan Hai's good mood from the beginning had completely disappeared. If not for the Zhu Clan, he would have strangled Zhu San to death.
Qiong Xi 'er's expression did not look good. She was disgusted. She had always been the one scheming against others. Today, she was actually tricked by Zhu San. Shameless people were indeed invincible.
"Just you wait, we'll settle today's score in the future," Tyler Phineas threatened before leaving.
Xio's gaze was cold. Although she didn't say a word, the warning was obvious.
Lu Yin didn't care, as the Dark Phoenix Tribe was already on his blacklist. Although this tribe was very strong, he wasn't weak either. The Hall of Honor was definitely on his side.
Taylor felt that it was a pity that the Dark Phoenix Race was too far away from the Great Eastern Alliance.
Wei Rong walked over with An Qi in tow. "Brother Lu, that was brilliant."
Lu Yin calmly replied, "You've gained another enemy for no reason. Brother Wei should be happy."
Wei Rong shook his head. "I'm not too happy. Their attitude towards Brother Lu is equivalent to their attitude towards me. In fact, they aren't even as serious as they are towards Brother Lu. Look, no one spoke to me during the entire Jasper Forest Banquet."
Lu Yin gestured for Wei Rong to look at Qiong Xi'er. "She hasn't let you off, and her gaze is constantly on you."
"Brother Lu, don't you think that the Outerverse isn't that transparent?
Were these people really the only remaining Enlighters from the various great powers?
I don't think that's possible. And that's only what's on the surface. There's also the Hall of Honor and the dark forces. Brother Lu, we still have a long way to go, "Wei Rong sighed.
Lu Yin glanced at Angie. "It looks like you've already obtained the Umbral Butterfly Tribe."
Angie raised an eyebrow when she heard his words; they weren't very friendly.
Wei Rong patted Angie's shoulder. "The Hall of Tai Mo should also be in Brother Lu's bag. We're just working together."
The two slowly walked out of the Jasper Forest, where Yan Yan and the rest were waiting for them. Lu Yin saw a familiar face: Ah Mu.
During the battle on Sourcepeak Planet, Angie had brought Ah Mu along. Now that she had come to Myriad City, she had brought Ah Mu along as well. It seemed like Ah Mu was doing better and better in the Umbral Butterfly Tribe.
The two pretended not to know each other, and they merely exchanged a glance before looking in another direction.
"Brother Lu, have you ever thought about becoming a live-in son-in-law of the Qiong family?" Wei Rong asked as he looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin glanced at Angie. "What if I say that I have?"
Wei Rong thought about it and then answered seriously, "I'll be very happy."
Lu Yin laughed. "Sorry to disappoint you. I also believe that you definitely have no intentions of marrying into the Qiong family. Otherwise, you wouldn't be the Wei Rong that I know."
"There's someone who's very suitable to become a live-in son-in-law. With Qiong Xi'er's personality, she should be able to control him," Wei Rong said with a smile as he looked at Lu Yin. "Wang Wen."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, as Wei Rong knew everything. But then again, Lu Yin's own experiences had not been a secret, so it was normal for him to know Wang Wen. Wei Rong had known about this for a long time.
Not long after, the two parted ways. The monkey said, "Seventh Bro, I'll deal with this Wei Rong right now. I keep having the feeling that this guy is either scheming or preparing to scheme against someone."
"The Jasper Forest Banquet will temporarily resolve the grudges between the various parties. The Qiong family will try peaceful means before resorting to force, and we can't be the first to do so. Wan Qiancheng has remained unharmed for so many years, and he's even been able to resist the schemes of the Innerverse's great powers. His background is no less than the Taimo Temple's," Lu Yin said.
"What background? If we don't reveal it, no one will know." The monkey rolled his eyes.
You don't know?
Lu Yin's gaze deepened, as he knew that the rune lines could not be faked. Wan Qiancheng's rune lines were rather terrifying.
News of what had happened at the Jasper Forest Banquet quickly spread throughout Myriad City. Countless people were astonished by the Qiong family's extravagance and Lu Yin's strength. The most shocking news was the Qiong family's son-in-law selection.
For a time, countless people racked their brains and offered their qualifications to Qiong Shanhai through connections in hopes of marrying into the Qiong family.
Although marrying into the Qiong family had a bad reputation, it also depended on the person. Wan Qiancheng's Qiong family was one of the few powerful families in the Outerverse, and even the disciples of the Innerverse's great powers would feel proud if they could marry into the Qiong family. The Qiong family only had Qiong Xi 'er, and once she married into the Qiong family, even if she could not control the family's enormous business, her son would be able to.
To many people, this was a great opportunity to reach the heavens in a single bound.
At the city lord's mansion, Qiong Xi 'er flipped through some photos out of boredom. Next to the photos were resumes, and after looking through them for a while, she tossed them aside. "A bunch of trash. They can't even compare to Little Nan, and they want to marry into the Qiong family?
No way. "
Qiong Shanhai said, "Xi 'er, there aren't many youths in the Outerverse who can catch your eye. Is there anyone you like?"
Qiong Xi 'er thought about it. "No."
"What about Lu Yin?
He seems very pleasing to the eye, "Qiong Shanhai asked.
Qiong Xi 'er was amused. "Do you think that with his personality, he'll marry into the Qiong family?"
"As long as you want to," Qiong Shanhai replied confidently.
Qiong Xi 'er shook her head. "Lu Yin isn't as simple as he seems. He has the Hall of Honor behind him, and …" At this point, Qiong Xi' er grew serious. "I'm not confident that I can suppress him. This person's ambition is too great, and he has the innate talent to match it."
Qiong Shanhai was shocked. His daughter had never had such a high evaluation of anyone since she was young. Even Wei Rong and Wang Wen, who had been on the same level as her, had only been seen as rivals. However, her evaluation of Lu Yin was actually higher than those two.
Qiong Xi 'er looked at Qiong Shanhai. "If Lu Yin agrees to marry into the Qiong family, who do you think will be in charge of Myriad City in the future?"
Qiong Shanhai's eyes flashed. "Then forget it."
At that moment, a servant came to report that the head of the Zhu family, Zhu Jie, had come to visit.
Qiong Shanhai was puzzled. "Is it because of Zhu San being kicked out of the Qiong Lin Banquet?"
Qiong Xi 'er shook her head. "That's impossible. I'll take my leave."
Qiong Shanhai nodded.
Soon after, Zhu Jie entered the guest hall of the city lord's mansion and met with Qiong Shanhai.
As soon as they met, Zhu Jie immediately apologized. "City Lord, my son has troubled you at the Qiong Lin Banquet."
Qiong Shanhai smiled. "It's fine. I watched Little San grow up, and he's not a bad person. He's just a little playful. Brother Zhu, why have you come here today?"
Zhu Jie took out a box from his cosmic ring and pushed it towards Qiong Shanhai. "Brother Qiong, please open it and take a look."
Qiong Shanhai was curious, and he opened the box. A golden light illuminated the box, and he reflexively closed it before blurting out, "True Insight."
Zhu Jie smiled. "Brother Qiong has good eyes. That's right, this is True Insight."
"Deng Pu was found by your Zhu family?" Qiong Shanhai was astonished.
"He was the one who found us, and he sold True Insight to me. How about it? Brother Qiong, do you want it? I'll give it to you." Zhu Jie smiled.
Qiong Shanhai's eyes flashed. So many experts from Myriad City had come here for True Insight. If he publicly auctioned off True Insight, not only would he be able to make a huge profit, but he would also be able to resolve this matter and prevent these people from causing trouble in Myriad City. This was killing two birds with one stone.
"What are your conditions?
Please speak, Brother Zhu, "Qiong Shanhai asked.
Zhu Jie's tone was solemn as he earnestly said, "True Insight is a betrothal gift from the Zhu family to the Qiong family. My son, Zhu San, wishes to marry Xi 'er."
Qiong Shanhai and Zhu Jie looked at each other for a moment, and then he directly pushed the box towards Zhu Jie. "My Qiong family cannot accept this betrothal gift."
"Brother Qiong, I only have one son, and he's like a treasure to me. He won't marry anyone other than Xi 'er, and he wants to die. I hope that Brother Qiong can give me some face. True Insight is just one of the betrothal gifts, and if Brother Qiong is willing, the Zhu family is willing to offer half of our assets as the betrothal gift," Zhu Jie earnestly said.
Qiong Shanhai sighed. "Brother Zhu, my Qiong family only has one heir, and that's Xi 'er. If we give it to you, what do you want the Qiong family to do?"
Zhu Jie hurriedly said, "Brother Qiong is still young, so you can definitely have a son."
Qiong Shanhai shook his head. "There's no need to say more. If Brother Zhu is willing, then my Qiong family is willing to pay several times the price for True Insight. If you're not willing, then forget it."
When Zhu Jie saw that Qiong Shanhai's attitude was firm, he could only bid farewell and leave.
Qiong Shanhai watched Zhu Jie leave, and his expression sank. Did Zhu Jie really believe that Zhu San liked Xi 'er? Once the two families were connected by marriage, it would be hard to say who would have the final say in Myriad City. Even if Qiong Shanhai married Xi' er off to the far east, it would still be impossible for her to marry into the Zhu family.
The next day, news of the Zhu family using True Insight as a betrothal gift spread. At first, no one believed it, but after Zhu San spread the news to show his sincerity towards Xi 'er, countless people confirmed that True Insight was actually in the Zhu family's possession.
Saul was the first to ask for it, but he was rejected by the Zhu family. The Zhu family also had an Enlighter ancestor, and since they were in Myriad City, they did not fear Saul.
After Saul, Auffman, the flame engineer, Manor Lord Lian, and other powerhouses also visited the Zhu family. Cai Jianqiang and Wei Rong also went, but they were all rejected by the Zhu family.
The Zhu family did not lack money, and they were not afraid of being threatened.
For a moment, the Zhu family's residence became the place that attracted the most attention in Myriad City, and countless people crowded around the entrance.
