Chapter 482

Everyone boarded the Tianfeng Demon Phoenix-class battleship and set off to return to Longjing.

The tournament starts tomorrow, so it doesn't matter where they stay tonight, but returning to Longjing early will make tomorrow more convenient.

However, there was one extra person on this trip—Zhao Yunqin.

Zhao Yunqin was also one of the high school group contestants for the God of War Fist League.

Thus, just now, the Zhao family head personally saw them off and sent this "quasi-fiancée" of Seeing Yun Shen onto the "pirate ship."

The way he looked, it was as if he couldn't wait for the two to consummate the marriage tonight.

Of course, Seeing Yun Shen wasn't thinking about consummating the marriage tonight with a woman he had just met.

Unlike the Profound Heaven Iron Maidens, whose favorability was full, Zhao Yunqin was different; it was obvious she only agreed to this marriage out of desperation.

Seeing Yun Shen's plan was to maintain this relationship for now; he didn't intend to get married so quickly anyway. He would deal with future matters in the future, and at worst, he could just say they were breaking up peacefully.

In fact, if not for considering that Zhao Yunqin was the daughter of the Zhao family head, Seeing Yun Shen would have turned it down on the spot.

Although Zhao Ji's status was more powerful, the Zhao family head was not a useless person either, and he would definitely be able to help Seeing Yun Shen in the future.

It was somewhat similar to the situation of an ancient emperor taking concubines; the three palaces and six courtyards and seventy-two concubines around the emperor couldn't all be ones he fancied; more were various well-connected people, tools for political marriage.

Of course, Seeing Yun Shen couldn't be an exception; if you don't maintain this relationship, how can people wholeheartedly help you?

In addition, the age requirement for marriage in this world is not that high; even at Seeing Yun Shen's current age, he could take a girl to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register.

With an extra quasi-fiancée along the way, Seeing Yun Shen felt it was still somewhat awkward.

Zhao Shuiyun was very sensible and took the initiative to chat with Zhao Yunqin, so it wasn't exactly silent between them.

Old Cun Tou, on the other hand, kept sending voice transmissions to Zhu Ying.

Old Cun Tou: "Young Lady, you can't take shortcuts. The Old Zhu family doesn't have this thing called political marriage; you can only rely on your own free love."

Zhu Ying: "..."

Old Cun Tou: "Look, the two girls are trying to get along as sisters, aren't you going to get involved?"

Zhu Ying: "..."

Old Cun Tou: "Senior Zhao Ji is already discussing the marriage with your sweetheart, aren't you anxious?"

Zhu Ying: "..."

Family, who understands this? This old thing is actually urging me to get married.

And how does he know I have a crush on Seeing Yun Shen? Have I been that obvious?

Zhu Ying also sent a voice transmission to Old Cun Tou: "Stop, stop, stop. Old Cun Tou, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly worrying about my affairs?"

"Young Lady... haven't you seen that something is wrong?"

Old Cun Tou smiled bitterly: "Why would Senior Zhao Ji accept your classmate as his foster daughter, and why would he be so eager to give away a World Rare Object?"

Zhu Ying was stunned upon hearing this. If it were the Zhu family, her dowry would definitely not be small, but Zhao Ji used the 【Seven Books of Martial Classics】 as a return gift, and even said the betrothal gift could be whatever.

Dowry and return gifts, although both come from the woman's family, have fundamental differences.

Dowry is pre-marital property kept by the woman herself after marriage; a return gift is given directly to the man, which counts as a donation.

Even if they divorce later, return gifts, like betrothal gifts, cannot be taken back from each other.

Zhao Ji definitely received the consent of the Zhao family's ancestors before doing this, otherwise, when he said that, someone would have definitely jumped out on the spot to drag Zhao Ji away and beat him up.

So what is the reason that could make the Zhao family play such a big game with a teenager?

As a powerhouse who has had some contact with Seeing Yun Shen, Old Cun Tou had some very immature thoughts.

It must be that when Seeing Yun Shen was observing the 【Seven Books of Martial Classics】, he displayed something strange and was discovered by this group of Zhao family ancestors.

Just like that night, when he and the acting family head saw the strange phenomenon when Seeing Yun Shen was cultivating, they knew this child was definitely not a creature of the pond.

Old Cun Tou reminded again: "In short, Young Lady, you must remember that this sweetheart of yours is definitely not a creature of the pond. If you don't seize the opportunity when you are young, it might be too late later."

Zhu Ying's eyes drifted; even though she was usually carefree, she appeared quite lost at a time like this.

The sweetheart is getting married, and the bride is not me.

Young boys and girls with budding feelings can always see clearly at such times whether there is someone living in their hearts.

Having said this, Old Cun Tou didn't say anything more; as an old man, it wasn't easy for him to interfere in the emotional affairs of the younger generation.

On the other side, Seeing Yun Shen was chatting privately with Zhao Ji on WeChat.

The content of the chat was naturally about when to get married.

Seeing Yun Shen felt it was still too early, so Zhao Ji suggested writing a marriage contract first, and discussing the specific wedding date later.

In this way, Seeing Yun Shen had no chance to shirk, so he had to agree.

Writing a marriage contract is actually equivalent to being engaged.

For young people who have already become lords, if it is not necessary, they are generally too lazy to hold an engagement banquet; it is too time-consuming and laborious.

Usually, they just write a marriage contract, sign and stamp it, and then publicize it.

For the young lords of the current era, they are increasingly disliking these old-society red tapes; at most, they hold a banquet when they get married, and some even just get a certificate and don't hold anything else.

At this time, Fan Qiuyan's voice came over, and she pointed her phone screen toward him: "Boss, the Zhao family is already publicizing it, and you have appeared on the hot searches of many online channels."

"Hmm? So fast?"

Seeing Yun Shen took a look and found that there were indeed several familiar hot search titles on Weibo.
