Chapter 25 Do You Want to Get Married Now?

"Then you should fight! Can you determine a victor just by sitting here? Hundreds of thousands of people are watching you outside," said the Fang clan leader leisurely.

"That... that..."

Wan Lei, the middle school boy caught "cheating" by the girl's parents, quickly calmed down after a brief moment of panic.

"It's like this, esteemed seniors. This junior first fought Liu Ao, then a member of the Fang family, and then spent half a day fighting Wan Liuchuan. My injuries are simply too severe. I had no choice but to heal here. I'll fight again when I'm better."

After speaking, young Master Lei clutched his chest, exaggerating his pain.

"Ouch, it hurts so much! My injuries are too severe, I can't fight. If you seniors could bestow some healing pills, this junior would be extremely grateful."

The nine leaders twitched their lips in unison.

He claimed to be seriously injured and unable to fight, but they didn't see a single sign of injury when his hands were being restless earlier.

How could there be such a shameless person? He was caught harassing someone's daughter and still wanted to freeload pills from them.

Is this guy really a descendant of the Thunder Emperor?

How could the wise and mighty Thunder Emperor have such a...

Thinking of this, they suddenly recalled secret records within their families and sects.

Back then, the Thunder Emperor seemed to have a similar personality – liking to freeload, always trying to get a bargain, and considering it a loss if he didn't pick up something while out and about.

The eight leaders all looked at the Fang clan leader.

Look, is this your future son-in-law?

The Fang clan leader's lips twitched again. He forcefully suppressed the urge to kill this pig who was defiling his cabbage in front of hundreds of thousands of people and said, "Enough nonsense, when exactly are you two going to fight?"

Young Master Lei looked at Fang Xiaoyu, whose expression remained calm as still water, not even batting an eyelid.

It seemed that those in front of her were not nine leaders, but nine clay chickens and pottery dogs.

Indeed, apart from young Master Lei, it was too difficult for anyone to get Fang Xiaoyu's attention.

So what if you were a Grand Ascension stage expert?

Seeing that Fang Xiaoyu had no intention of speaking, young Master Lei had no choice but to speak himself.

"Tomorrow morning."

"Oh, is that so? In that case, since there's nothing to do now, let's go through the processes that need to be done in advance," said the Fang clan leader, nodding.

"Processes? Are we going to have the wedding ceremony already?" Young Master Lei was surprised. Wasn't this a bit too fast?

"..."

"Nobody stop me, I'm going to kill him today."

"Old Fang, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."

"The Grand Competition hasn't ended yet."

"A son-in-law is like half a son; you'll have to rely on him in the future..."

The Fang clan leader really wanted to kill this cheap son-in-law with his strange thought process with one palm strike, but seeing the blooming smile on his daughter's face, he reluctantly stopped.

"Hmph, stop with the frivolous jokes and banter. The process I'm talking about is the recruitment process.

In every Wan Pride Ranking Grand Competition, the various families and sects will observe the participants who perform well and rank high. If they find someone they like, they will recruit them after they are eliminated. This is also why the nine major powers have continued for fifty thousand years.

Right now, all the participants have already been recruited, and those who haven't been recruited will return to their own homes.

Only you two are left. Your aptitudes and combat power are worth us nine leaders coming here personally to recruit you.

That's the process. Do you think we wanted to come?

Tch, I get angry just looking at you." The Fang clan leader glared fiercely at Wan Lei.

"Alright, everyone, you can start recruiting now. Talk about what conditions and resources you can give the participants, and try to make them tempted as much as possible."

"Old Fang, don't snatch him. Anyway, he'll be part of your family sooner or later. Even if Wan Lei joins another power, it won't stop you from giving Wan Lei resources," said the Yin Yang Sect Master with a smile.

"Bah! It's not even a sure thing yet. Has my daughter admitted it? Even if she has, I haven't agreed! Hurry up, all of you, stop interrupting."

Cut the crap; your daughter has almost been eaten clean.

Several sect masters and clan leaders were eager to try, but a word from the Liu clan leader poured cold water on them.

"Everyone, don't forget, Wan Lei is a member of the Wan family.

Alas, a descendant of the Thunder Emperor. Are we small powers worthy of recruiting him? This vast world is the stage for geniuses like Wan Lei to gallop freely. How can we be confined by our small families and sects?

Anyway, my Liu family is a descendant of the Thunder Emperor's disciple and feels unworthy to recruit a direct descendant of the Thunder Emperor. I withdraw from the recruitment."

The Liu clan leader's sarcastic words silenced the other clan leaders.

Yes, their ancestors were all disciples of the Thunder Emperor. Now that a descendant of the Thunder Emperor has appeared, how should they arrange his status and position?

Furthermore, even if they poured all their resources into nurturing him, could they guarantee that he wouldn't seek revenge for the Wan family when he became a great power?

Don't forget, all six families are to blame for what happened to the Wan family.

Was this recruiting talent? This was inviting a wolf into the house!

The Liu clan leader's words completely cut off Wan Lei's hope of joining the six families.

"Hehe, old Liu is right. My Open Heaven Sword Sect also feels unworthy to recruit a descendant of the Thunder Emperor. I hereby withdraw," said the Open Heaven Sword Sect Master with a sneer.

He still resented Wan Lei for humiliating Jian Xunhuan.

Now that's settled, the only powers Wan Lei could join were the Yin Yang Sect and the Kui Lotus Sect.

"I'll join the Kui Lotus Sect."

Silence...

The expressions of the nine leaders immediately became interesting.

As everyone knows, the Kui Lotus Sect only accepts female disciples.

So, Wan Lei definitely didn't say that sentence.

"Xiaoyu, don't be ridiculous," scolded the Fang clan leader.

How embarrassing. His own daughter actually wanted to join another power.

He was going to be laughed at by those old guys again.

"Old Fang, don't make trouble." The beautiful woman from the Kui Lotus Sect glared at the Fang clan leader, then looked at Fang Xiaoyu with a smile and said, "Xiaoyu, can you tell me why you want to join the Kui Lotus Sect?"

"There's nothing left to learn in the Fang family. I want to cultivate the Kui Lotus Sect's Orthodox Lotus Heart Sutra."

"Good, good. You can go to the Kui Lotus Sect at any time after the Grand Competition. I now announce that you are my successor as the Kui Lotus Sect Master." The Kui Lotus Sect Master looked at old Fang triumphantly.

Now, only Wan Lei was left.

It seemed he only had one choice.

If the Yin Yang Sect didn't want him either, he would really have to find a second-rate power to join.

It was embarrassing to say, in every Wan Pride Ranking Grand Competition, the first and second place winners were snatched up by the various families, but this time, no one wanted them.

Wan Lei looked left and right, feeling a little awkward. Finally, he turned his gaze to the Yin Yang Sect Master.

Old sir, please say something! As long as you open your mouth, I'll nod in agreement immediately.

Fortunately, the Yin Yang Sect Master spoke.

"You are worried about the identity of the Thunder Emperor's descendant, but my Yin Yang Sect is not afraid. Back then, even the Thunder Emperor was a disciple of my Yin Yang Sect.

Now that such an outstanding descendant of the Thunder Emperor has been born, my Yin Yang Sect will not shirk its responsibility.

Could it be that my Yin Yang Sect could accommodate the Thunder Emperor back then, but now it can't accommodate a descendant of the Thunder Emperor?"

"Old Ji, have you thought this through?" The Liu clan leader's eyes narrowed into a line, and the threat was self-evident.
