Grandma Dongfang's question made everyone in the courtyard feel that something was wrong.
Dongfang Jing was Grandma Dongfang's most beloved granddaughter. Now that she had been invited here, it was very likely that she had come for Ling Xiao.
The expressions of Shangguan Yun and the two Mystic Emperors who came with him darkened.
If this marriage failed, it would cause the Shangguan Clan to lose all face.
They must have already announced the date of the wedding to all forces and were waiting for the various forces to come and congratulate them.
"This junior is Ling Xiao. Greetings, Senior!" Ling Xiao stood up and bowed to Grandma Dongfang.
Transcending the mortal realm and entering the divine realm was a great change for human warriors. Even though Ling Xiao's power shook the Central Region, he was still insignificant compared to Grandma Dongfang. It was difficult for him to put on the airs of a Palace Master.
Grandma Dongfang looked at Ling Xiao. Her eyes emitted a deep light. She revealed a moved expression. "You are Ling Xiao. You have actually established yourself as an Emperor!"
"What!"
As soon as Grandma Dongfang said this, everyone present immediately cried out in surprise. Everyone's eyes fell on Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao had been restraining his aura. Ordinary people could not see through his cultivation.
Unexpectedly, Granny Dongfang saw through him with a single glance. She was indeed worthy of being a Saint.
"I broke through by luck!" Ling Xiao said humbly.
His breakthrough was indeed a fluke. He did not expect that a large amount of dragon energy could also forcibly raise his strength by one level. This saved him a lot of time for cultivation.
Dongfang Jing, who was beside Grandma Dongfang, stared at Ling Xiao with her beautiful eyes without blinking. The deep affection in her eyes was self-evident.
"Only a man like this is worthy of me, Dongfang Jing!" At this moment, Dongfang Jing's heart was incomparably firm.
How old was Ling Xiao? He was only in his early thirties. This kind of Emperor Stage was simply rare even in ancient times.
However, Ling Xiao had achieved this step.
If he was not recognized as the only disciple of the Evil Emperor, many people would have thought that he might be the reincarnation of some Saint.
Otherwise, how could his advancement speed be so fast?
Shangguan Yun, who was also a genius, stared at Ling Xiao. Not long ago, he had finally broken through to the high-level Heavenly Venerable level. He had relied on many resources in his family to nurture him, as well as the Thousand Flower Realm that he had cultivated.
A few years ago, the battle between Ling Xiao and Wu Bufan had shocked the world!
Naturally, Shangguan Yun also wanted to have a chance to fight against the two of them. Their Shangguan family's' Thousand Flowers Realm 'also had the power to fight those of a higher level.
But now that he had met Ling Xiao, he had broken through to the Dongfang, he, Shangguan Yun, he had no confidence.
After all, he might have had the confidence to challenge Ling Xiao if they were at the same level, but now he didn't.
"Such a man is really strong!"
However, Shangguan Yun wasn't jealous at all. Instead, he was appreciative of Ling Xiao. He looked at Ling Xiao with a strange light in his eyes.
If Ling Xiao were to hear this, he would be disgusted to death.
"Good, very good. You are indeed the man that my Xiao Jing has taken a liking to. Are you willing to marry into our Dongfang family and become our subordinate? We will do our best to nurture you!" Grandma Dongfang said happily.
Shangguan Yun was better looking than Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao had the masculine and strong physique that a man should have. Furthermore, he was the Xuan Emperor at such a young age. This had aroused Grandma Dongfang's love for him.
She had been in seclusion all year round and rarely left this place. She did not pay much attention to the outside world. She did not know about Ling Xiao's various battles, nor did she know that the Smiling Palace had become as powerful as the Dongfang family. That was why she said this.
"Grandma, Palace Lord Ling is an ambitious and ruthless person. His Palace of the Proud Smiling Palace has the power to shake the Gu Clan, Sha Tian and the Black Demon Sect!" Dongfang Jun couldn't help but remind her.
Otherwise, they would be the ones to be scolded if they really made a fool of themselves.
"With this kind of ability, it seems that I, an old man, am really isolated from the outside world. No one actually told me about this!" Grandma Dongfang said unhappily.
She had a fiery temper, and few people in the Dongfang family could afford to provoke her. Who would dare to report these things and disturb her seclusion?
"Grandma, the Spring of Life that I brought back last time came from him!" Dongfang Jing whispered in Grandma Dongfang's ear.
"En, not a bad kid. Then, you and him are the best choice," Grandma Dongfang said softly. She then looked at the three people from the Shangguan family and said, "You guys go back. You sissy are not worthy of my Xiao Jing!"
Grandma Dongfang announced the dissolution of the marriage between the two families with an unquestionable tone.
Dongfang Jing's heart was relieved. She wanted to complain to this grandma on the day of the wedding and change everything. Fortunately, her cousin came back in time and saved her happiness!
"Grandma, this matter …" Dongfang Jun was in a difficult situation.
Their family and the Shangguan family's marriage had already been announced to the world. If they suddenly made a change, what would happen to the Shangguan family and the powers that had come to congratulate them?
"Just do as I say. As for the others, besides returning the betrothal gifts, we will add another gift as an apology from the Dongfang family," Grandma Dongfang said with a wave of her hand.
She was not an unreasonable person, and she still knew to compensate the Shangguan family.
"Grandma Dongfang, your actions will harm the alliance between the two families!" One of the Shangguan family's Mystic Thearchs stood up and shouted in dissatisfaction.
Another Mystic Thearch also said, "That's right. The wedding date has been set. How can it be canceled just like that? How are we going to explain this to the family?"
Shangguan Yun's expression was ugly. Although he did not speak, it showed that he was unwilling. Of course, only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.
"Then what do you think?" Granny Dongfang lightly shook her dragon staff and glared at them with sharp eyes.
They all took a few steps back at the same time, but they were not injured.
"Grandma, please calm down!"
Dongfang Jun exclaimed, then said, "Little Jing, let me ask you, are you only willing to marry Palace Master Ling? Do you know that he already has a few wives? If you marry him, who knows what number of concubines you will be? Why do you have to do this?"
Now that things had come to this, Dongfang Jun could only settle this matter with the person involved.
"So this brat is still so fickle. How about this, divorce all of your women and marry my Little Jing." Grandma Dongfang looked at Ling Xiao angrily.
Grandma Dongfang's words were undoubtedly very overbearing. In just a few words, she had annulled the marriage between the two families, and now she wanted Ling Xiao to divorce his wife. This was truly unreasonable.
The three people from the Shangguan family also looked at Ling Xiao with delight.
Dongfang Jing's beautiful eyes stared at Ling Xiao, looking forward to Ling Xiao's answer.
However, with her intelligence, she had already guessed the real answer. She just had to wait for the moment he said it.
"Senior, your words are making things difficult for me. Although I, Ling Xiao, am a playboy, I love all of them deeply, and I will not abandon any of them. Today, I came to the Dongfang family only to fulfill my promise. As for Miss Dongfang's decision, it will depend on her heart," Ling Xiao replied firmly.
Just as he had said, every one of his women was his greatest love. It was impossible for him to give up any one of them.
"Could it be that you think my Little Jing is not worthy of you?" Grandma Dongfang glared at Ling Xiao.
"No, Miss Dongfang is incomparably beautiful, a rare good woman in this world. It's just that I, Ling Xiao, already have a wife and a concubine, and it's hard for me to give up." Ling Xiao replied, then said to Dongfang Jing: "Miss Dongfang, back then in the Chaotic Battle Abyss, I made a vow with you on impulse, and also told you that I had another woman. Now, whether or not you are still willing to follow me, Ling Xiao, is up to you.
"Bastard, you don't want to abandon your woman, but you also want my Little Jing. How can there be such a fair thing in this world? Get out!" Grandma Dongfang was furious.
Listening to Ling Xiao's words, it seemed like he didn't care much about her granddaughter, which made her very angry.
She would never allow the little princess of the Dongfang family to become someone else's concubine.
"Sorry to disturb you, Mei Ying, let's go!" Ling Xiao left as soon as he said he would.
He had already come as promised, and the result was no longer important.
"Wait a minute!" Dongfang Jing called out, and floated in front of Ling Xiao.
"What else does Miss Dongfang want?" Ling Xiao looked at Dongfang Jing politely and said.
Looking at the beauty in front of him, he had to admit that Dongfang Jing's beauty was not inferior to any of the women by his side. Even amongst those women of his, she was one of the best.
If such a beauty were to be accepted into his backyard, he would naturally be very happy. However, he never wanted to make things difficult for others, so he could only wait for Dongfang Jing to make things difficult for him.
If she was a little more stubborn and insisted on being his concubine, then he would reluctantly accept her!
"You said you want me to choose, I'll tell you now, I'll choose to go with you right now!" Dongfang Jing stared at Ling Xiao without blinking, and said resolutely.
The expressions of the three people from the Shangguan family darkened, while the expressions of the people from the Dongfang family did not look any better.
"Little Jing, don't mess around!" Dongfang Jun said in a deep voice.
"No, Ling Xiao, he suppressed all the emperors on the Emperor Ascension List and took the first Emperor's seat. I knew that such a man was worthy of me. Originally, I had the confidence to become his only woman, but he built his own forces, fought against ten thousand people, defeated Wu Bufan of the Spiritual Martial Pavilion, killed all the enemies, killed many super experts of the Gu family and Sha Tian, and also shook the Black Demon Sect. Such a matchless man is a great hero in my heart, a great hero. Although I come from a famous family, I know that it is impossible for me to monopolize him, so … I will be his concubine for now. In the future, he will definitely know how good I am, and will only love me!" Dongfang Jing announced her thoughts in front of everyone.
This was also a naked confession to Ling Xiao!
Luo Meiying, who was beside Ling Xiao, could not help but praise in her heart, "This woman is so brave!"
Ling Xiao was moved. He thought shyly in his heart, "You can say these words to me alone. Why did you say it in the hall? It will make people very shy!"
If Ling Xiao's words were heard by those who were familiar with him, they would probably shout, "Let's strike this guy to death!"
"Since you have said so, how can I, Ling Xiao, disappoint you? Then come with me!" If Ling Xiao did not make a statement, then he would be a man in vain.
However, would it be easy for them to go out now?
