Chapter 729 - 505: The Great Elder’s Daughter, Wang Manman! (Part 2)

In that case, Elder Wang’s actions seem rather peculiar.

"You, kid, are really lucky."

Elder Wang said, "The Great Elder intends to betroth his daughter to you.

Although it’s nominally to let you meet first, if both parties agree, preparations for the wedding can begin.

However, in reality, while the Great Elder appears gentle and courteous, he has always been definitive in the family. Moreover, this is his own daughter."

Zheng Yi followed Elder Wang step by step.

Soon they arrived at the Skill Transmission Hall.

Along the way, Elder Wang introduced the background of the Miss Wang from the Great Elder’s branch: "Wang Manman, the most talented among the Great Elder’s lineage.

She has a Mid-grade Spirit Root, which should be about the same as your current Spirit Root.

However, unfortunately, yours was repaired, while this Miss is genuine.

Besides that.

She usually focuses her cultivation on the Path of Fortune and Blessing, contributing greatly to the Great Elder’s line, and is also extremely proficient in Combat Magic, often performing tasks outside with the Young Clan Leader.

Originally, everyone in the family thought she would end up with the Young Clan Leader, but it turns out you got lucky."

Hearing Elder Wang say this, Zheng Yi sheepishly touched his nose.

Why did he feel that someone else was the lucky one?

It must be that the Great Elder wanted to win him over, so he betrothed his daughter, that is the truth.

However, Zheng Yi was a low-key person and didn’t want to say much, and naturally, Elder Wang wouldn’t believe it.

"When? Where?"

Zheng Yi asked softly.

The opportunity coming on its own.

He didn’t want to miss it easily, but he also wanted to see the person first.

If the woman was unwilling.

Zheng Yi wouldn’t force himself for a Mid-grade Spirit Root, as he now has a Top-grade Spirit Root. Although a Mid-grade Spirit Root would be somewhat beneficial.

It was not indispensable.

"Tomorrow, at the Clear Spring in the back mountain of the family, you two meet there, and several elders will also be present."

After saying the last sentence to Zheng Yi, Wang Lei returned to the Skill Transmission Hall, and Zheng Yi also returned to the Alchemy Pavilion.

As soon as he arrived, Master Zhang was staring at him from afar.

Zheng Yi, being looked at like this by Master Zhang, felt his face flush, inexplicably feeling as if he had been caught by a father-in-law.

However, Master Zhang just stared at him.

Eventually, he said nothing and turned back to the private room.

Zheng Yi touched his face, took out a mirror to check if he revealed any flaws, then sighed with relief and returned to the private room to continue refining the Yellow Dragon Pill, enhancing his alchemy skill.

However, the matter quickly spread like rumors among the younger generation of the Wang family.

"What?

The Third-grade Alchemist Zheng Yi is going to marry the Great Elder’s daughter, the eighth-layer Qi Refining Wang Manman sister?"

How could it be!"

"Zheng Yi, being so young, is already a Third-grade Alchemist. Even if he does not advance to a Second-grade Alchemist in the future, it’s still significant for the family."

"The Young Clan Leader failed to break through to Foundation Establishment before and now often performs tasks outside.

Moreover, Wang Manman sister’s age is a whole cycle older than the Young Clan Leader, her Spirit Root is only Mid-grade, while even the Top-grade spirit root Young Clan Leader didn’t end up with her."

Once the key information was revealed,

many family members suddenly realized and understood that although Wang Manman and the Young Clan Leader Wang Xingyin were close before, it was unlikely from the start that there could be anything else.

They were merely ordinary partners carrying out tasks together.

Soon, the news reached the Alchemy Pavilion.

During Zheng Yi’s break,

Wang Miaomiao stormed up to him: "Are you going to marry Wang Manman sister?

Don’t you already have four wives?

How many more do you want to marry?

Greed can lead to being overwhelmed, impeding your cultivation.

Even though you’ve become the family’s Third-grade Alchemist, and have family resources supporting you, you can’t act recklessly and waste resources."

Listening to Wang Miaomiao’s scolding,

Zheng Yi didn’t want to argue with this young girl, he just smiled faintly and prepared to return to the private room.

But the young girl was relentless, appearing in front of him again using Light Body Technique, blocking his way: "No, you can’t be with Wang Manman sister.

You’re not from the same world at all."

Wang Miaomiao said through gritted teeth.

Zheng Yi chuckled: "Miss Wang, aren’t you meddling a bit too much?

It’s still only the Great Elder’s intention to pair us together.

We haven’t even met yet, whether to marry is still uncertain."

After saying this, Zheng Yi paused his steps, turned back to look at Wang Miaomiao, exhibiting his sharpness.

Among the younger generation of the Wang family,

he believed he had the capability to become a leading figure and intended to demonstrate this stature: "Are you saying that the Miss in the Second Elder’s Mansion can flagrantly, break others’ marriages?

If so, at the next family meeting held in the ancestral hall, as the family’s Third-grade Alchemist, I shall ask the Second Elder face to face how he disciplines his juniors."

Zheng Yi’s gaze focused, his demeanor turning cold, the usual peaceful and gentle air had vanished, this immediately intimidated Wang Miaomiao.

The status of a Third-grade Alchemist in the family.

Is already comparable to that of a Ninth-layer Qi Refining Elder.

Even if he hadn’t reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, people in the family wouldn’t easily offend him.

While Wang Miaomiao had just broken through to the late-stage Qi Refining Seventh-layer, she truly was unmatched against Zheng Yi.

When she eventually becomes an Elder of the Wang family, only then would they barely stand on equal footing, as rarity holds value at any time.

By the time Wang Miaomiao came to her senses, Zheng Yi had already entered the private room.

"I didn’t expect you, Zheng Yi, to be a hungry wolf, you disguised it well before."

Wang Miaomiao, furious, gnashed her teeth, a pair of silver teeth clattering, feeling extremely displeased.

She stood there for a moment.

Her eyes rolled, she quickly came up with an idea.

Turning away shortly after,

she went to see Wang Manman.

Exaggeratingly speaking ill of Zheng Yi: "Wang Manman sister, you must not marry Zheng Yi.

He’s a perverse Evil Ghost, committing every evil deed, oppressing the weak while deceiving the strong, essentially not a good person.

The reason he’s a Third-grade Alchemist is thanks to Master Zhang’s legacy, along with most of Master Zhang’s resources aiding him.

If not for Master Zhang’s help

with his aptitude, a hundred years later, he’d only be a low-grade spirit root, how could he have his current cultivation realm, it surely is Master Zhang’s merit.

Furthermore.

He already has several wives yet now also wants to marry you, who knows what insidious methods he used, even making the Great Elder agree.

If you truly marry him, your future will be ruined."

"Is that true?"

Wang Manman felt increasingly uneasy as she listened.

Though she’s willing to accept the family arrangement, she can’t be paired with such an unworthy person, especially since she’s the eldest daughter of the Great Elder’s line.

"Wang Manman sister, we grew up together, how could I deceive you?"

Wang Miaomiao added fuel to the fire.

Wang Manman nodded: "I will discuss this with Father, thank you this time, Miaomiao."

Seeing her plan succeed, Wang Miaomiao was ecstatic, nodding incessantly like a chicken pecking rice, and soon hopped away.

At noon, Wang Manman only found the opportunity to see her father, going before him.

At this time.

They were located in a teahouse.

In front was a clear spring, within it, golden-scaled fish swam.

The Great Elder mainly cultivated Gold Spirit Root cultivation techniques; keeping these fish can enhance affinity with Gold Spirit Root and invigorate the mind and body.

Wang Manman went before the Great Elder without any concealment, directly recounting everything she had learned earlier, also informing him of Wang Miaomiao’s role.

"Hehe."

The Great Elder chuckled lightly, putting down the fishing rod in hand, which was merely for show.

Upon hearing his daughter’s words.

He faintly smiled, an unprecedented mocking smile appearing on his face: "Do you think Father is harming you?

Just to win over a Third-grade Alchemist?"

The Great Elder softly retorted.

This one sentence instantly overturned all of Wang Manman’s prior impressions of Zheng Yi.

Wang Manman understood her father, the Great Elder of the Wang family, deeply grasping his adept balance of advantages and exploration of the human heart.

At this moment.

She felt ashamed, lowering her head.
