Chapter 1376 - 1373: Enjoying Blessings, Challenge!

Bestowing Chi Wei in marriage to Luo Feng!

The sudden announcement from Chixiao plunged the entire square into a brief silence. All the young elites were shocked and speechless by this news, even more so than during the Holy Land selection.

This unexpected turn of events made Luo Feng slightly stunned as well.

After a moment of silence, murmurs began to fill the square.

"What on earth is happening? The Crown Prince actually betrothed the Third Princess to that kid Luo Feng."

"Indeed, although Luo Feng is the top figure of the young generation in the Canglang Dynasty, it’s like the mountain with no tiger, where the monkey claims king. In our Dali Dynasty, he means nothing. Not to mention others, even ten of him can’t match up to Prince Jia."

"Comparing him to Prince Jia is too much credit, I’m stronger than he is."

"Why is it him, of all people!"

The crowd gazed at Luo Feng with various emotions, but mostly with envy and jealousy.

On the stone platform, Su Zhuyun only showed a fleeting surprise, quickly regaining her composure.

As a woman with a perceptive mind, she understood why Chixiao made this decision.

Luo Feng and Chi Wei were of similar age, both possessing exceptional temperament and appearance. At just seventeen, he was already at the mid-stage of the True Yuan Realm, having also grasped the Grand Momentum. He was the top young talent of the Canglang Dynasty. Besides having a modest background, he was an ideal match for most young women in every other aspect.

However, Su Zhuyun did not believe this matter would progress smoothly.

Along the way, she discovered that Luo Feng was polite to everyone but maintained a certain distance with Chi Wei; Chi Wei also seemed unnatural around Luo Feng. There appeared to be an invisible barrier between them, which definitely wasn’t romantic in nature.

"Chi Wei, this matter was decided by your brother and me, and we didn’t tell you beforehand as we wanted to surprise you."

Chi Yourong looked at the dazed Chi Wei, gently patted her hand, and smiled slightly, "Are you satisfied with the groom your brother and I have chosen for you?"

"I..."

Chi Wei came to her senses, sneaking a glance at Luo Feng, her cheeks flushed red, eyes shimmering.

Every girl wants to find a genius as a lifelong companion, and she is no exception.

The moment Luo Feng killed the Corpse Ghost Taoist, he left a very deep impression on her heart. However, due to the previous incident with Qing Ling, she only felt afraid of Luo Feng and dared not think in that direction.

At this moment, prompted by Chi Yourong’s words, Chi Wei realized Luo Feng’s grace and style, sitting there with eyes as bright as celestial stars, surpassing any young talent she had ever seen, dazzling her, leaving her heart pounding, unsure of how to respond.

Seeing Chi Wei’s expression, Chi Yourong had an answer in her heart, smiling and nodding at Chixiao.

Chixiao smiled slightly and said to Luo Feng, "Luo Feng, what do you think?"

From the moment Chi Wei spoke for Luo Feng, discovering that he had saved her from the Corpse Ghost Taoist, Chixiao had this idea and discussed it with Chi Yourong upon returning to Melt Fire City.

Chi Yourong insisted on personally examining Luo Feng first. Now, it seemed he had clearly passed the test; only Luo Feng’s consent remained.

Luo Feng maintained a calm expression, but his heart was in turmoil.

He hadn’t anticipated things escalating to this point. Now it seemed the earlier extraordinary cordiality from Chixiao and Chi Yourong might have been a sign.

Over this time, although his attitude towards Chi Wei had changed somewhat, it was still at most a nodding acquaintance, making it impossible for him to agree to the marriage.

However, Chixiao, though a good person, was extremely fond of Chi Wei. Refusing publicly now might lead to unforeseen consequences...

For a moment, Luo Feng was caught in a dilemma.

Bam! At that moment, a sound of slamming the table suddenly erupted, the entire stone platform shook slightly as Yue Haitang slammed the table, glaring at Chixiao, adamantly stating:

"I do not agree with this matter."

This sudden change surprised everyone.

Luo Feng looked slightly surprised at Yue Haitang, wondering why the other suddenly got angry.

"You do not agree?"

Chixiao was not angry either, looking at Yue Haitang and asking, "Why? Do you perhaps fancy my younger sister?"

"I..."

Yue Haitang sobered up slightly, feeling embarrassed being the focus of attention, and had not considered the reason for the refusal in his momentary urgency.

"Of course not."

Yue Haitang flushed, glancing at Luo Feng, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "Forgive my directness, but Luo Feng is already betrothed to Yang Wanyi, the daughter of the City Lord of Dayang City from our Canglang Dynasty."

"Is that so?"

Chixiao showed a hint of surprise, looking at Luo Feng.

"Indeed."

Luo Feng nodded, secretly praising Yue Haitang’s quick thinking, as he almost forgot about this point just now, leaving the betrothal matter to be put to rest.

Who knew.

"That doesn’t matter either."

Chixiao smiled faintly, looking at Luo Feng, saying, "Since you and Chi Wei are in love with each other, even if there is a prior betrothal, it’s not a big issue. It’s normal for strong men to have several confidantes. Luo Feng, as long as you don’t neglect my young sister, I won’t interfere with your affairs with other women."

Having been born in royalty, Chixiao had long seen through matters between men and women, knowing a strong man won’t have just one woman, much like his father, the King of the Dali Dynasty.

He, Chi Wei, and Chi Yourong were all born of different mothers but shared the same father.

Luo Feng was speechless; Chixiao’s response was completely unexpected. Moreover, where did he see that he and Chi Wei were in love with each other?

Yue Haitang was similarly bewildered, his eyes wide open, face flushed, and fists clenched, as if wanting to argue but unable to find the words.

For a time, the atmosphere turned delicate, and the young talents present all looked enviously at Luo Feng.

The Shuang Jiaoyang of the Dali Dynasty, Yang Wanyi, was somewhat familiar to them. Yang Wanyi was renowned for her unparalleled beauty and excellent Martial Arts talent, ranking third among the top ten new dragons in the Six Southern Domains, a first-class beauty. Now Luo Feng earned the favor of the third princess Chi Wei, making them jealous to the point of frenzy over such a fortuitous dream.

"Your Highness, please reconsider this matter!"

Just as Luo Feng was contemplating how to refuse Chixiao, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned towards the sound, their expressions becoming serious upon seeing the speaker.

"The show is starting!"

Many young talents had a schadenfreude expression on their faces.

The speaker was none other than Jia Kun.

Jia Kun looked at Chi Wei, gritted his teeth, and said:

"Your Highness, I think Luo Feng is unworthy of the Third Princess!"

Saying this, Jia Kun turned to Luo Feng, almost spitting fire from his eyes, "Luo Feng, our fight earlier remains unfinished. You are known as the foremost of the young generation in the Canglang Dynasty. It seems you have decent strength. Do you dare accept my challenge? You can refuse, of course, since the Canglang Dynasty is just bottom of the barrel among our northern countries; naturally, you’d be afraid."

Jia Kun gently flicked his folding fan, openly provoking.

Originally, he intended to challenge Luo Feng during the sparring matches, but upon hearing that Chi Wei was betrothed to Luo Feng, he couldn’t wait any longer.

Now, as long as he defeated Luo Feng publicly and humiliated him, there would be no face or more reasons for Luo Feng to marry the Third Princess.
