"Huh? Cancel the marriage!?""Yes, that was the order from the Clan Lord and Second Young Master."
"What the h.e.l.l are they thinking?"
Yang Wen Jia and the First Elder sighed at the message brought by the servant. For both of them, nothing would make them happier than the marriage between Feng Ao Xiu and Yang Xue Yi.
If the Yang Clan could get the support of an Ancient Earth Realm Expert permanently, then they will definitely rise as the top. The number one spot of the three powerhouses in the Xiang Lan Nation will be them for sure. For many generations to come, n.o.body would ever dare to mess with the Yang Clan, not even the Royal Family.
With Feng Ao Xiu as their future leader, the Feng Clan could not ask for anyone better. However, Feng Ao Xiu is still only one person, what they needed most is resources to strengthen the clan. As a lower-middle tier clan, their resources were limited. The fastest way to resolve the problem is through the marriage, everyone knows that. It"s why the First Elder as the second-in-command could make the decision.
However, they have planned this carefully and even make it a surprise event entirely. Yet, Feng Ao Xiu who was madly in love with Yang Xue Yi and Feng Zhong Tian who did not get any loss dared to reject it immediately.
Yang Wen Jia was especially frustrated. He has taken the roundabout way by using the First Elder to get Feng Zhong Tian off guard. But, how could it just be rejected on the spot despite all the other elders have agreed upon it? It"s such a not like Clan Lord att.i.tude.
"And, they did not even give the reason for it...", The First Elder frowned. He did not get why, since there"s no reason or disadvantage behind it.
The First Elder bit his lower lip as he shook his head, "There"s no choice... I guess we have to cancel..."
"Elder... Could you not persuade them?" Yang Wen Jia pleads with his eyes.
Sorry..." The First Elder said. No matter what, the First Elder will listen to the future Clan Lord, Feng Ao Xiu. If Feng Ao Xiu does not want to marry, then it shall be so.
"Wait! Don"t cancel the marriage!!!"
Suddenly, Feng Zhong Tian hurriedly came over with a shout.
"But, Clan Lord... Didn"t you just said to cancel it immediately?" The servant asked in a surprise.
"Huh!? When did I say that? Don"t spout such nonsense!!"
"What!? So you"re creating false news, then brought disarray and distrust to the whole clan!" The First Elder scolded the servant with angry eyes.
"What are you planning? Tell me, or else!" Yang Wen Jia threatened the servant. How could he forgive this person who tried to sabotage the alliance between the Yang Clan and Feng Clan?
"Eeeh!!!"
The servant shrieked. He definitely remembered it, as it was not too long ago. Now the Clan Lord just pretended that the previous conversations never happened. How could this all go wrong?
"No... No... This is not what happened?" the servant quickly denied everything. "It"s the Clan Lord who changed his mind so quickly..."
"You"re still spouting nonsense!!" Feng Zhong Tian acted angrily.
[I"m sorry... I definitely won"t give you a harsh punishment...] For Feng Zhong Tian his image was important. So that he would not look like a fickle Clan Lord if he can blame someone else for it, why not?
"Don"t trust this guy! I bet he"s not even a real servant!!" Feng Zhong Tian continued.
"Uggghhh... So, I was discovered..." The servant frowned. "How did you know?"
"Eh..."
Obviously, Feng Zhong Tian could not comprehend the servant"s reaction.
"I can"t believe this! You saw through my disguise!" said the servant. "I haven"t even gotten to do anything yet."
The servant tore open his mask, revealing a face that none of them ever saw before. Then, he raised his hands up in the air as a sign of surrender.
"I give up! Do whatever you want with me!"
This person was actually Liu Di, one of the spies from Silver Hands Owl. He disguised himself as one of the Feng Clan servants, to earn the trust of Feng Zhong Tian. But, he was caught even after he was being extra careful and got no chance to do any misdeeds. (*refer to chapter 99)
Obviously, it was Feng Zhong Tian"s plan to put Liu Di in a predicament position and played him all along. However, because Feng Zhong Tian already knows he"s not the real servant, it"s only a matter of time before he got caught. Might as well just surrender now, rather than being played.
"Good job, Zhong Tian. That"s why you"re the Clan Lord. I know you"re the right person for the job!" the First Elder said.
"Hahaa... So, it was a spy all along. That"s my brother-in-law!" Yang Wen Jia laughed happily.
"Ehh... Ah! Yes, a cheap disguise like this cannot fool my eyes... Hahaaa!" Feng Zhong Tian laughed loudly.
[F*ck! I don"t know anything about this! I can"t believe it, a spy was under our noses all along. Good thing he"s discovered!]
As Liu Di was being escorted by the guards, he glanced up to Feng Zhong Tian. His eyes wavered and could not keep still.
[Feng Zhong Tian, the Clan Lord of the Feng Clan, how scary... I really wish it was Feng Ao Xiu who discovered me, but it was he who lead the conversation to this moment. He pushed me around to see my reaction and knowing I can"t handle it, he pushed me further. How could an Iron Mortal Realm saw through my disguise when no one else ever did it. I guess I just picked the wrong opponent...]
[If his father was this scary, how would the son, Feng Ao Xiu be? Not only he was more powerful but also smarter. Feng Ao Xiu is a person you don"t want to mess with.]
After Liu Di left to head for the jail, finally Feng Ao Xiu who was slower arrive.
"Wait! Don"t cancel the marriage! After we think about it, Father and I changed our mind!"
"Huh? Changed your mind?" First Elder asked in confusion.
"Isn"t this only a plan to capture the spy?" asked Yang Wen Jia.
"Ehh... What spy?"
"Ehh..."
"Ehh..."
Feng Ao Xu, the First Elder, and Yang Wen Jia looked at each other in confusion.
