1241 One Shock After Another (5)
The situation took a turn for the worse.
Situ Ye had previously looked down on Chu Yunfan and thought he was unworthy of his daughter. He never expected Chu Yunfan to have such a trick up his sleeve.
The most inconspicuous candidate was the most attention-grabbing one. Whether it was a senior alchemist or a half-step Core, any of them was enough to shake the Great Wei Kingdom. Chu Yunfan was even worthy of the princess, let alone his daughter.
With both, his future was limitless, and he would become an overlord. One would say he was already an overlord.
!!With Chu Yunfan’s strength and talent, it would not be difficult for him to become influential in the Great Wei Kingdom. Otherwise, the president of the Situ Merchant Guild would not have to curry favor with him.
Of course, the most important thing was to make up for neglecting Chu Yunfan.
More importantly, Chu Yunfan could not have jumped out of a rock. How amazing must the sect behind him be to have produced such a genius?
Today, Situ Ye was offering up Scholar Shenkong’s Dao Entering-level painting. One-third was to congratulate the martriach on her birthday, one-third was to apologize to Chu Yunfan, and the last one-third was to curry favor with the powerful sect he suspected was behind Chu Yunfan/
Even if their relationship didn’t get closer, he could not let their relationship worsen. Of course, he did not know the powerful sect he suspected did not exist. In a sense, it was not wrong to say Chu Yunfan had jumped out of a rock.
Besides apologizing, he also had another thought he had never told anyone. That was to matchmake Chu Yunfan and his youngest daughter, Situ Miaoyi, if possible.
He initially thought Chu Yunfan was unworthy of her, but things had changed. It was not a matter of whether or not he liked Chu Yunfan but whether Chu Yunfan liked his family.
However, he felt there was nothing wrong with it. His daughter was as beautiful as a flower and had long been famous throughout Conglong. Otherwise, the matriarch could not have proposed this marriage to Chu Yunfan.
As the saying went, man and woman were a match made in Heaven. He could say anything when Chu Yunfan became his son-in-law.
“President Situ, you’re too polite. It was just a piece of cake for me,” Chu Yunfan said lightly.
“Chu Yunfan, thank you for your Divinity Nourishment Pill and for what happened last time.” Situ Miaoyi looked at Chu Yunfan with glistening eyes as if she wanted to see through him.
From their first meeting, she felt Chu Yunfan was different from the rumors. Later, she heard many incredible things about him from An Xiuxiu and seemed to have gotten used to it. Even Chu Yunfan’s battle against Wan Huang did not seem too far-fetched. She thought he could do anything.
“It’s nothing. It was just a birthday present,” Chu Yunfan replied.
Situ Miaoyi had just come out of seclusion because she was still digesting the Divinity Nourishment Pill he had given her as a birthday gift. Now, she was almost in the Divine Abilities Stage.
Situ Ye’s generosity was primarily due to Chu Yunfan giving Situ Miaoyi a bright future. Although it was only a matter of time before she reached the Divine Abilities Stage with her talent and the Situ clan’s assets, the earlier she reached the Divine Abilities Stage, the greater the advantage she would have.
Furthermore, she had attained the Divine Abilities Stage so early. There was an excellent chance for her to break through to the seventh or eighth tier of the Divine Abilities Stage in the future. She might even have a chance to reach the peak.
Chu Yunfan was the one who had brought her all this, so Situ Miaoyi was very grateful. A different feeling emerged in her heart. None of those young masters who usually fawned over her could compare to him.
‘Chu Yunfan Chu Yunfan again! What’s wrong with everyone today?! Why is everyone looking at him?!’
Chang Shenghong wanted to slap Chu Yunfan in the face. A gift of three million low-grade spirit stones was not something a poor man like Chu Yunfan could afford. However, no one expected these high and mighty big shots to appear one after another before Chang Shenghong had time to show off.
It would be okay if they were here, but they were all here for Chu Yunfan. Chang Shenghong was even angrier when he saw a beauty like Situ Miaoyi looking at Chu Yunfan affectionately.
‘What’s so great about him? Regarding family background, I’m the junior duke of the state, while he’s just an heir candidate who isn’t favored. I believe I far surpass him in terms of appearance and demeanor!
‘These people are blind. They only have eyes for Chu Yunfan, Chu Yunfan, Chu Yunfan!’
This made Chang Shenghong even more jealous. His entire body seemed to burn with the flames of jealousy.
“Miss Situ Miaoyi, right? I’m Chang Shenghong, the heir of Duke Ning. I’ve always been in the Imperial Capital. I never expected to meet a woman as beautiful as you in Conglong.” Chang Shenghong quickly restrained his anger and put on a self-righteous expression.
Situ Miaoyi’s beautiful eyes flashed with disgust. She had seen too many wealthy playboys. Since a long time ago, these self-righteous playboys had been like flies.
The more Chang Shenghong tried to show off, the more she thought Chu Yunfan was extraordinary. At least Chu Yunfan did not show such an expression when he looked at her. On the contrary, she could feel a faint sense of alienation from Chu Yunfan.
Albeit, it was a polite sense of alienation. This made her feel defeated, but now she felt this alienation was what made Chu Yunfan so different.
At this moment, she only felt a faint curiosity in her heart. However, he did not know that when a woman became interested in a man, it meant the most dangerous time had already arrived.
“Thank you.”
Situ Miaoyi did not want to talk to Chang Shenghong and just nodded lightly in response. Her aloof expression contrasted with her enthusiasm when speaking to Chu Yunfan. It made Chang Shenghong feel like he had gotten slapped in the face. It made him mad with anger and gnashed his teeth in hatred.
As the heir of Duke Ning, no one had ever ignored him like this. It was a great humiliation. He was about to flare up when an announcement sounded outside, “Marquis Anguo has arrived with his children!”
