Super War God in the City-Chapter 447 : 447

West Sacred Mountain, Murong Clan!

Venerable Elder Murong Zun sat at the head of the great hall, looking indifferently at his son Murong Bai, "What is the Gu Family's stance on the marriage alliance?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Bai inwardly sighed, immediately clasped his hands and replied, "Father, the Gu Family has agreed, but, they have a condition!"

"Oh? What condition, speak!" Murong Zun's brow slightly furrowed.

He had anticipated that the Gu Family would likely propose something, but the fact that they had agreed was already quite gratifying to him!

Murong Bai took a deep breath, finding it difficult to speak, and after hesitating for a moment under Murong Zun's piercing gaze, he said with some difficulty, "The Gu Family... wants to verify the body of my niece, to ensure she is still intact, only then will they agree!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Zun's face instantly darkened—wasn't this essentially a rejection?

According to the Murong Family's secret investigation, Murong Susu's daughter had already married in the Secular World, how could she possibly still be intact?

"Father, perhaps, let's forget it! After all, my niece has already settled down in the Secular World, let's let her go back!" Murong Bai hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

Upon hearing this, Murong Zun's eyes widened, and he coldly snorted, "What do you know? Your sister's selfishness has brought great loss to our Murong Family. Since the blood of our Murong Family flows in her veins, she must shoulder the mission of reviving our family!

Another marriage alliance with the Gu Family could at least extend the relationship between the two families for another twenty years, contributing strength to our family. This is something she should be proud of!

Since Susu failed to do something for the family, then let her daughter complete it. This would count as making amends to the family!"

Murong Bai sighed inwardly, somewhat helpless. Nowadays, martial artists were in decline, yet Murong Zun was set on reviving the family, not quite to the point of disowning his kin, but he was almost ruthless when it came to family interests.

This left Murong Bai somewhat helpless. No matter what, he still felt sympathy for his sister, as well as the daughter she left behind in the Secular World.

This intricate and cold Martial Cultivation World, originally unrelated to her, now innocently dragged her in, thus rewriting the fate of her life—a destiny not meant for happiness!

"Immediately arrange for someone to verify her body, and discuss further after it's done!" Murong Zun ordered in a deep voice.

Murong Bai acknowledged with a word, then added hesitantly, "Father, the Gu Family also said that if she is not intact, she can only be taken as a concubine, and this is considering the face of Gu Jie!"

His wife, Gu Jie, was indeed from the Gu Family, the only dependable connection the Murong Family still could rely on, maintained through Gu Jie.

After Murong Zun had people bring back Murong Susu's orphan left in the Secular World a few days ago, he pondered for a long time. He wanted to ally with other families too, to strengthen Murong Family's position.

But after much deliberation, he found that among these families, only the Gu Family, particularly the third son, Gu Sheng, would agree.

Because Murong Susu's daughter, in terms of social status, simply did not match up to any of the direct descendants of the Five Peaks Noble Houses!

First, her origins were lowly, holding some nobility only because her blood carried half of the Murong Family lineage. The other half was from that lowly Xiao Lou!

Moreover, her Cultivation was too weak, merely at the martial artist realm. Other than being somewhat good-looking, she truly had nothing outstanding, especially since she was already someone else's wife!

To put it bluntly, which noble house's direct descendant would accept such a woman? In Zhongnan Heavenly Vein, one could randomly pick a number of unwed young women, all far nobler and stronger than her by a hundred times, a thousand times!

In terms of cultivation, Murong Zun originally thought that he was a decidedly ordinary person, but this martial artist realm was already quite surprising to him. However, in the eyes of families like his, it was still utterly inadequate!

"Go ahead, I understand. Let's decide after the examination, even being a concubine is better than staying at home and idling away!" Murong Zun said in a deep voice.

Murong Bai wanted to say something, hesitated for a moment, then held it back, knowing that it was useless to say anything. Once father had decided on your matter, there was no room for negotiation!

Talking more was fruitless, he could only turn around and withdraw.

At this moment, in a pavilion not far from the main hall.

A woman, dressed in ancient attire, exquisitely beautiful, was quietly sitting by the window, gazing at the beautifully arranged pavilions and landscape outside the window.

But her pale complexion and the empty, wooden expression in her eyes betrayed not a hint of admiration but rather projected an inexplicable sadness and weariness!

This woman, as if she had walked out of a landscape painting, was none other than Xiao Chubing, who had been missing for several days. However, her name was no longer Xiao Chubing, but Murong Yan.

A few days ago, as she was heading to Central Sea to board a plane, she was suddenly attacked by someone, lost consciousness, and when she woke up, she found herself here!

During these days, she had learned much. She knew her true identity, understood her parents' imperfect love, and had even paid respects at her mother's spirit tablet and her father's lonely grave down the mountain.

At first, suddenly learning about her heritage gave her a sense of unreality, mixed with excitement and anticipation!

In countless dreams at night, she had longed to meet her biological parents!

But life is like a dream, and things are unpredictable; she had not expected that her biological parents had passed away just a few days earlier, leaving her heart unable to find peace for a long time!

Murong Bai was still decently conscientious in dealing with her family affairs and had not hidden anything from her!

However, the more Xiao Chubing learned, the colder her heart grew, for this was a place without warmth, devoid of the warmth of familial affection!

Moreover, she didn't even have a chance to resist. She had come to know that this place was one of the top existences in the Huaxia Martial Cultivation World, hidden among the Five Peaks.

The more she understood, the less she felt capable of resistance, and the Murong Family had even arranged a marriage for her. Facing these ruthless and unreasonable demands, she had no strength to resist!

Murong Zun had already warned her that if she did not cooperate, anyone in the Secular World associated with her would be harmed, especially her husband. The Murong Family had absolute power to make it happen!

Xiao Chubing felt desolate. She couldn't even commit suicide. While she might not care about others, Ling Fan was her vulnerability. The power of her mother's family left her unable to harbor any thoughts of resistance; she could only compromise!

At this moment, countless emotions pierced painfully through her heart, numbing her entire being!

Outside the pavilion, a beautiful woman in plain clothes, carrying a food basket, wore a complex expression. She had just returned from Shennong Peak a few days ago, only to find her family in the midst of a shocking change.

Her younger aunt had died, and her uncle, who hadn't been seen for over a decade, suddenly appeared and died too!

And she had suddenly gained a cousin. Towards this cousin, aside from sympathy, she could not do much to help.

With a heavy sigh in her heart, she carried the food basket to the door. "Cousin, it's me. Today, I brought osmanthus cake. Would you like to try it? It's a specialty of the Murong family, and I made it myself!"
