Chapter 26 Strengthening Relationships Through Marriage

Seeking a Bride? Wu Wudi's expression changed, but he smiled and said, "He's still young, not yet an adult. No rush to find him a bride

! No rush! Wait a few more years until he's older, then we can find him a bride!"

Baili Changkong laughed, "Your Highness, time flies! Don't underestimate the Third Young Master just because he's young now; he'll be an adult in the blink of an eye

! Haha! My dear in-law, since our elders and children are here, if Your Highness thinks my daughter is suitable

, why don't we arrange this marriage, strengthening our family ties? What do you think?"

Baili Changkong's words shocked everyone present. In an instant, the entire hall fell silent, and

all eyes were on Wu Tianjiao and Baili Feixue. Apart from the Baili family,

no one expected Baili Changkong to say such a thing. His words were tantamount to proposing marriage to Wu Wudi.

At the banquet, the most surprised were naturally Wu Saiying and her daughter. Wu Saiying's brows furrowed,

a cloud of gloom settling over her face. Ling Xiaofeng, who knew her mother well, held her hand under the table to comfort her.

Wu Tianjiao, of course, was completely taken aback and stood there dumbfounded, not understanding why the Baili family had chosen him as their

son-in-law . Didn't they know he was born out of wedlock and had no status or position in the Wu family? Why hadn't Wu Hongshuang told him beforehand? Thinking of this, he looked at Wu Hongshuang, but Baili Guxing and his two siblings blocked his view. Wu Wudi was startled by Baili Changkong's words, looking at him suspiciously, his expression

shifting between light and shadow 　　, remaining silent for a long time . 　　Upon seeing this, Baili Changkong's heart tightened, and he blurted out, "Does Your Highness think my daughter is unsuitable?" 　　Madam Xuanhua hurriedly replied, "What are you saying, my dear in-law? Feixue is as beautiful as a fairy, a beauty that could topple kingdoms. Every family would eager to have her. How could she be unsuitable? It's just that she and Tianjiao are too old..." She stopped speaking, her meaning clear. 　　Upon hearing this, Baili Changkong understood and laughed heartily, saying, "Your Highness! Your Highness! We are both martial artists, so we should know that age is not that important to martial artists. My daughter is only seventeen this year, and your son only four years old. It's not a big deal, is it? When Your Highness and Your Highness sit together, who can tell your ages?" 　　"But..." Madam Xuanhua hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "Tianjiao is not a martial artist?" 　　Baili Changkong smiled and said, "What does that matter? When he grows up and gets old, his age will be even ." 　　The entire Wu family was dumbfounded. The intelligent ones could tell that Madam Xuanhua was subtly refusing the marriage proposal , but Baili Changkong seemed not to understand and continued to do so with great enthusiasm. It wasn't like he was proposing marriage; it was more like he was trying to force his daughter, who couldn't find a husband , onto the Wu family and wouldn't let them refuse. 　　The Wu couple, seasoned by time and worldly experience, understood everything. Seeing this, they were both alarmed. Wu Wudi knew he couldn't refuse ; to do so would be to disgrace the Baili family. He immediately nodded and said, "Very well! I accept this marriage . Tianjiao, quickly pay your respects to your father-in-law!" 　　Wu Tianjiao was stunned. After a long while, he came to his senses, rose from his seat, and went to Baili Changkong's seat, bowing deeply and calling out, "This son-in-law...pays respects to my father-in-law!" 　　Baili Changkong chuckled and personally helped him up, saying, "No need for formalities! No need for formalities!" 　　At the same time, Baili Feixue also rose from her seat and went to the Wu couple's seat, kneeling and kowtowing in a deep bow. 　　Wu Tianjiao and Baili Feixue had met their respective elders and were now considered engaged. Their transformation was truly swift; they had barely exchanged a few words upon meeting, and there was no real affection between them, yet in the blink of an eye, they were engaged. 　　At this moment, Baili Guyun picked up a long box from his seat, placed it on the table, opened the lid, and took out . The scabbard was ancient and mottled, with a unique and antique design. Baili Guyun handed it to Baili Feixue . Baili Feixue took it and then presented it to Wu Tianjiao. 　　The Baili family was exchanging engagement tokens, and Wu Tianjiao understood, so he took it with both hands. Baili Feixue placed in his hands and said with a gentle expression, "Hold it firmly!" 　　After saying that, she released it with both hands, and Wu Tianjiao felt a sudden weight in his hands, almost dropping the sword. He was startled and blurted out, "So heavy!" 　　He hugged it to his chest, but in that instant, a thought struck him, and he staggered back two steps, his face flushed red, feeling extremely uncomfortable. 　　Baili Guyun strode forward, and Ti Tianjiao took the heavy sword, laughing, "Brother-in-law! Let me hold it for you for now !" 　　Wu Tianjiao nodded, panting, and asked, "What kind of knife is this? It's so heavy!" 　　This remark drew laughter from many in the hall. Wu Wudi, however, was furious, almost cursing. Wu Qingshuang giggled, "Little brother! That's not a knife, it's a sword! Don't get it wrong, calling a sword a knife will make people laugh!" 　　The Baili family members also chuckled. Judging from Wu Tianjiao's behavior, they were certain he didn't know martial arts. Baili Guyun laughed, "Brother-in-law! My sister gave you our Baili family's heavy sword, what will you give her in return? " 　　Wu Tianjiao said "Oh," hesitated for a moment, then took out a jade pendant from his person and handed it to Baili Feixue . The jade pendant was a gift from Wu Hongshuang, and he hadn't expected it to come in handy now. 　　Upon seeing that the Baili family had used a heavy sword as an engagement token, Wu Wudi's expression changed, and he blurted out, "Brother Changkong ! This sword is..." Baili Changkong smiled and said, "Your Highness! You guessed right, this is indeed my Baili family's prized weapon , 'Chongqing' (meaning 'Abundant Affection'). It is most fitting as my daughter's engagement token!" Wu Wudi was taken aback, and after a long pause, he said , "Brother Changkong! Let's talk in the inner room!" 　　Baili Changkong nodded slightly, and immediately rose from his seat with Wu Wudi and his wife, entering a small living room on the side of the hall and closing the door. 　　The hall was bustling with activity as the Wu sisters came forward to congratulate Wu Tianjiao and Baili Feixue, offering them toasts. Wu Tianjiao accepted all the toasts, but inadvertently, he saw Wu Saiying suddenly cry out "Wah!" and run out of the hall, covering her mouth, seemingly in great distress. Ling Xiaofeng hurriedly followed her out. 　　"Huh! What's wrong with Aunt?" 　　Wu Liushuang asked in surprise. 　　Wu Jinshuang said, "It seems like she's not feeling well, maybe she has an upset stomach!" 　　"It's not an upset stomach, look at Aunt's reaction, it's like a woman's pregnancy symptoms? Could Aunt be pregnant ?" 　　Wu Yushuang, who had some medical knowledge, said sarcastically.

However, Wu Yushuang's words immediately drew a barrage of insults: "You're the one who's pregnant! Nonsense!

How could Auntie be pregnant alone..." Everyone chimed in, saying all sorts of things. While some spoke without thinking, others

took it to heart. Wu Tianjiao didn't hear Wu Yushuang's words, but Wu Hongshuang's heart skipped a beat.

She glanced thoughtfully at Wu Tianjiao, then looked towards the door, thinking, "Could it be that Auntie and Tianjiao..." With that thought,

she quietly left the hall and followed Wu Saiying and her daughter to Qifeng Tower.

In the exquisite little living room, Wu Wudi sat in the center, with Madam Xuanhua and Baili Changkong on either side. Two

maids served tea and snacks and then discreetly withdrew.

"Brother Changkong! What is the reason you're in such a hurry to betroth your daughter to my son?"

Wu Wudi asked bluntly.

Sigh! Baili Changkong sighed deeply and said with a bitter smile, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Your Highness! To tell you the truth,

my Baili family has run into trouble. A month ago, the young master of the Heavenly God Palace passed through Lingnan, saw

my daughter liking to her. He came to Baili Fort to propose marriage, wanting to take my daughter as a concubine. Of course, my Baili family refused, but

that young master was arrogant and domineering. Before leaving, he made a threatening statement, saying that he gave my Baili family a

month to send Xiaoxue to the Heavenly God Palace, or else he would exterminate my entire Baili family, leaving no one alive!"

Oh—the Wu Wudi couple suddenly understood. Madam Xuanhua said, "Is that why you were so eager to send

your daughter to my family and arrange a marriage between her and my son?"

Baili Changkong nodded and said, "In the world, only your Wu

family With your protection, I can rest assured!"

Madam Xuanhua said... Ge smiled and said, "My dear in-law, I think you're overthinking it. The Heavenly Emperor Shen Aotian is a grandmaster

, after all. He won't let his son act recklessly. If he really destroys your Baili family because of this, the Heavenly God

Palace will be cursed by the world and lose all its prestige!"

Baili Changkong smiled bitterly and said, "I think so too, but the Heavenly God Palace is no small force. Even if Shen Aotian

doesn't take action, he can still wipe out my Baili family. Therefore, I have to be careful. I only have this

one precious daughter, and I don't want her to die at the hands of that thief Shen Junying."

Wu Wudi nodded slightly, deeply agreeing, and said, "Brother Changkong's concerns are not unreasonable. However, your daughter is a celestial

being in human form, with unparalleled beauty. Wouldn't it be unfair to her to be with my son?"

Baili Changkong said, "Your Highness, what are you saying? Your son is handsome and refined. How could it be unfair to

my daughter? It is my daughter who is marrying above her station!"

Wu Wudi was speechless.

Madam Xuanhua frowned and asked, "Does our in-laws intend for Feixue to stay at our Wu family's residence for a long time?"

Baili Changkong did not deny it, saying, "If possible, we can choose an auspicious day immediately for their wedding

!"
