Chapter 979: Why the Change of Heart?

Feng Wuji is excellent, and Feng Yi's natural talent is also not bad.

The father and son can be called the most outstanding people of these two generations in the Feng Family.

But so-called excellence must be compared to whom one is being measured against.

As the helmsman of the Feng Family, a Void Refinement Perfection Stage Cultivator.

He still has some friends within the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace and even the Dark Pavilion.

His understanding of Wang Jianqiang is clearer than that of others.

Wang Jianqiang not only holds a special status within the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, but is also a key person of interest designated by the Dark Pavilion Master.

He is the top-tier Monster prodigy in this world.

Although Feng Wuji and Feng Yi can be considered to have decent talent, compared to him, they are completely unworthy of notice.

Standing from Gu Tianhai's perspective.

Choosing who to be Gu Xinran's Dao Companion hardly requires consideration.

Moreover.

Even if Gu Tianhai were willing to let Feng Wuji and Gu Xinran become Dao Companions, he would no longer support it.

Gu Xinran is someone Wang Jianqiang has taken a fancy to.

Wang Jianqiang has infinite potential.

He would absolutely not offend a prodigy of this level for the sake of a marriage contract, causing the Feng Family to create an irresistible, powerful enemy in the future.

Thinking of this, Feng Lingtian could not help but think of Feng Yichen, and a burst of anger churned in his heart.

This little brat clearly knew the relationship between Wang Jianqiang and Gu Xinran, yet he did not stop him when he came to the Gu Family to propose marriage earlier.

And furthermore.

After Wang Jianqiang returned, he did not give him the slightest warning, only coming to the Gu Family to alert Gu Tianhai.

He is simply sabotaging his own grandfather!

With a somewhat darkened complexion, he said to Gu Tianhai, "Where is that little brat Feng Yichen? He is still at the Gu Family, right?"

Seeing this posture, Gu Tianhai secretly grimaced.

He and Feng Lingtian were close friends when they were young, and he knows Feng Lingtian's temperament very well.

Feng Lingtian's reaction is clearly that he is furious.

If Feng Yichen is called over now, it will likely be miserable.

After all, he is his own grandson, so Gu Tianhai naturally feels some reluctance, and he coughs dryly, "Brother Feng, Yichen is indeed still at the Gu Family, but..."

"This kid Yichen has been unreliable since he was young, and you are used to it; the reason he didn't tell you about the relationship between Wang Jianqiang and Xinran was probably because he forgot."

Feng Lingtian shakes his head and smiles, "What is Brother Gu saying? Feng just hasn't seen my good grandson in these years, so I want to see him and see if he has made any progress."

"Really?" Gu Tianhai is somewhat suspicious.

"Really."

Feng Lingtian nods with a pleasant expression.

Hearing this, Gu Tianhai finds it difficult to stop him further, so he beckons a servant over, "Go and call Young Master Yichen here."

"Yes."

The servant leaves quickly.

Not long after.

Feng Yichen rushes over.

From afar, upon seeing Feng Lingtian, his expression stiffens imperceptibly, but then he acts as if nothing is wrong and continues to approach Gu Tianhai and Feng Lingtian.

Arriving before the two, a brilliant smile immediately blooms on his face, and he bows to Gu Tianhai, "Greetings, Grandfather."

Afterward, he bows deeply to Feng Lingtian, "Greetings to my most beloved grandfather."

Feng Lingtian nods with a chuckle, "My good grandson is becoming more and more polite, good, good, good."

"I heard from your grandfather that you brought back news saying Wang Jianqiang is coming to visit the Gu Family soon?"

Feng Yichen's expression stiffens, and he bites the bullet and nods.

"Such big news, why didn't you tell your grandfather?" Feng Lingtian's smile remains, pleasant and amiable.

Of course, it was because I wanted to sabotage you, you old man.

Feng Yichen thinks with a mischievous sense of humor, not daring to show the slightest change in expression on his face, "Grandfather, your grandson was just thinking that you would know once you arrived at the Gu Family, saving me from running back and forth such a long distance."

"So that's how it is."

Feng Lingtian nods with a smile, "Fine, I understand."

"After the Gu Family Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony ends, remember to return to the Feng Family; Grandfather misses you, go back and spend some time with Grandfather."

Feng Yichen's expression stiffens, "Is that necessary, Grandfather? My studies are very heavy, and I am in a hurry to return to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace."

Feng Lingtian shakes his head with a smile, "It is necessary; it is no problem to put your studies aside for a while, don't worry, good grandson."

Feng Yichen nods with a mournful face.

Just at this moment.

A servant rushes in from outside, and after arriving before Gu Tianhai, he bows to Gu Tianhai, "Clan Head, someone has come to visit."

Gu Tianhai lifts his eyelids slightly, "Who?"

The Gu Family clan is not a place just anyone can come to visit.

At the very least, one must have a name in the Central Continent to have this qualification.

"This subordinate has not seen the person before; he claims his name is Wang Jianqiang."

Hearing the servant's response, Gu Tianhai is startled, exchanges a glance with the equally startled Feng Lingtian, and smiles, "Isn't this~ we were just talking about him, I didn't expect him to arrive; it really is a coincidence."

Feng Lingtian follows with a smile, "Brother Gu, why not hurry and have the honored guest brought in? Don't keep him waiting."

Hearing Feng Lingtian's words, Gu Tianhai immediately snapped back to his senses and looked at the servant, "Go and bring the honored guest in; remember, you must not be negligent."

Hearing Gu Tianhai's words, the servant nodded and left with quick steps.

Boom~

Not long after the servant left.

On a competition stage.

The battle within the Battle Space ended.

Feng Yi had achieved another victory.

He looked at a handsome middle-aged man in the crowd; the handsome middle-aged man nodded, then looked at Feng Lingtian and Gu Tianhai at the very front of the crowd.

After a moment of contemplation.

He walked quickly to the front of Feng Lingtian and Gu Tianhai.

"Wuji greets the Clan Head and greets Senior Gu."

He bowed to Feng Lingtian and Gu Tianhai respectively.

"It has been a few years, and Wuji's cultivation has improved again; not bad."

Gu Tianhai looked at Feng Wuji and nodded with a smile.

"Many thanks for the praise, Senior Gu."

Feng Wuji respectfully cupped his fists, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Senior Gu, why has Xinran not appeared?"

"This junior wishes to see Xinran."

"This..."

Hearing Feng Wuji's request, a look of difficulty appeared on Gu Tianhai's face.

Seeing this, Feng Wuji was stunned, "Senior Gu, is there something inconvenient?"

Gu Tianhai sighed, did not explain, and turned to look at Feng Lingtian.

Feng Lingtian understood and sighed, "Wuji, the marriage between you and Xinran may have to be called off."

Hearing Feng Lingtian's words, Feng Wuji was dumbfounded, "Why?"

"Didn't Senior Gu already agree before to betroth Xinran to me?"

He found it somewhat hard to accept.

Although he and Gu Xinran had only met a few times.

He had been attracted to Gu Xinran the very first time he saw her and had fallen deeply in love with Gu Xinran.

He had already convinced the Clan Head to come to the Gu Family to propose marriage, and the Gu Family had also agreed.

Apart from Xinran herself, who had not yet come to terms with it because the matter happened so suddenly, everything else had proceeded very smoothly.

Moreover, before coming to the Gu Family this time, the Clan Head had repeatedly guaranteed that he would definitely persuade Gu Xinran and completely finalize the marriage contract between him and Gu Xinran.

How could the Clan Head and Senior Gu have suddenly changed their minds now?
