Chapter 1920: She's Different

Hearing Wu Zhong's bewildering words and seeing his resolute expression, Ye Zhangqing's face turned strange, completely at a loss.

In just this short night, how could a person change so much?

The two locked eyes; facing Ye Zhangqing's doubtful yet scrutinizing gaze, Wu Zhong did not dodge at all, his eyes firm, his expression resolute.

Seeing that Wu Zhong was not joking or speaking nonsense, after a moment of silence, Ye Zhangqing said softly.

"Can you explain it in detail?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong hesitated not at all, immediately nodding in agreement.

Although he was extremely unwilling to tell others about this matter, since he had proactively sought out Ye Zhangqing, he was naturally prepared.

If you want someone to lend a hand, at the very least you should honestly tell them the full story in detail.

So Wu Zhong immediately recounted the entire matter to Ye Zhangqing from start to finish.

According to Wu Zhong, their Wu Family counts as a major clan in the Immortal Realm, though they still lag behind the top hegemonic powers.

And for development, the Wu Family has maintained friendly relations across generations with the Immortal Realm's hegemonic power, the Heavenly Family.

Basically, they have become a subsidiary family of the Heavenly Family.

When Wu Zhong first went to the Heavenly Family as a child, upon seeing the Heavenly Family Eldest Miss for the first time, he fell in love at first sight, and his feelings took deep root from then on.

It could be said to be love at first sight that lasts an eternity; from then on, Wu Zhong found it hard to let go of the Heavenly Family Miss, constantly thinking of her.

Needless to say what happened next, Wu Zhong launched a fervent pursuit of the Heavenly Family Miss.

Although the Wu Family is a subsidiary of the Heavenly Family, Wu Zhong is the Young Lord of the Wu Family, so his status is a match for the Heavenly Family Eldest Miss.

After all, there are several with her status; the Heavenly Family's main lineage has many descendants, so the Miss is naturally not the only one.

But the Wu Family has only one heir.

"That Heavenly Family Miss can truly be described as 'shaming the moon, making flowers blush; sinking fish, causing geese to fall.' When I first saw her, I felt my heart stop abruptly, as if a pair of big hands had fiercely gripped it."

"Back then I didn't know, but later I realized this is fate—fate that let us meet in the vast sea of people."

"Since fate let me meet her, at that moment I swore that in this life I would marry no one but her; my wife, Wu Zhong, can only be her, so.................."

"Get to the point."

When speaking of the Heavenly Family Miss, Wu Zhong's face beamed with a happy smile, his whole expression gradually turning into that of a lovestruck dog.

Watching him keep going on about how gorgeous and stunning the Heavenly Family Miss is, never getting to the point.

Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched uncontrollably; finally unable to hold back, he spoke up to interrupt.

Upon this, Wu Zhong startled, then came back to his senses; he was not displeased at all, even wearing an apologetic expression as he said.

"Shī xiōng, sorry, I couldn't help but say more, missing you so much."

"After that, I naturally launched a fervent pursuit of the Heavenly Family Miss; as long as I have it and she wants it, even if it's a star in the sky, I would unhesitatingly pluck it down for her."

"Huh???"

"Indeed, the mighty Young City Lord of the Cooking King Immortal City turns out to be a lovestruck dog."

Ye Zhangqing looked at Wu Zhong, who was vividly recounting his tale, with a somewhat complex expression; he was undoubtedly a lovestruck dog.

"However, after the earlier reminder, Wu Zhong did indeed get to the point."

"Originally everything was normal—he pursued, she fled, he fawned, she acted, and Wu Zhong enjoyed it."

"Each time it seemed only a hair's breadth off, yet ended up miles apart."

"The Heavenly Family Miss set up numerous trials for him, and Wu Zhong, like a fearless warrior, passed them one after another."

"He was about to win her beauty, yet each time he fell just short."

"Finally, even the Heavenly Family Young Lord stepped forward, frankly telling Wu Zhong that to marry her sister, he would have to defeat him."

"As long as Wu Zhong could overcome him, he would consent to give his sister's hand in marriage to Wu Zhong."

"To this, Wu Zhong felt both delighted and desperate."

"Who is the Heavenly Family Young Lord? He is a youthful monster standing at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm."

"Surveying the entire younger generation of the Immortal Realm, those who can be compared to him number no more than three."

"Therefore, facing the Heavenly Family Young Lord's demand, Wu Zhong was actually filled with despair."

"Nevertheless, for love, he unreservedly launched a challenge against him."

"As for the result, that was obvious—Wu Zhong was killed in a single move."

"After several more challenges, he also never survived a single move."

"How many times did you challenge?"

"Five hundred ninety-eight times."

"Huh???"

Ye Zhangqing asked curiously, but the answer left him stunned.

"What the hell kind of creature is this?"

"However, after enduring so many crushing defeats, Wu Zhong also knows he likely cannot defeat him in this lifetime."

"The gap in every aspect is utterly overwhelming."

"At that moment, after the final challenge, the Heavenly Family Young Lord spoke earnestly."

"Wu Zhong, give up; my sister is not suited for you."

"No, we are a perfect match."

"She truly is not your good match."

"Yes."

"You idiot, she's been after your resources all along; over these years you haven't noticed? She doesn't like you at all—she's just trying to get more Xiūliàn resources from you, you.................."

"Brother, stop saying that; she's different."

Huh???

Upon saying this, the Heavenly Family young master fell directly into deep thought; according to Wu Zhong, at that time the Heavenly Family young master, who always wore a calm look, stared at him with a shocked expression.

After a long silence, the Heavenly Family young master threw out a sentence.

"You can find someone else to represent you, as long as they are willing and can defeat me, I will still give that woman to you in marriage."

Having said that, he turned and left directly.

Upon hearing Wu Zhong's account, Ye Zhangqing also stood dumbfounded—what an extreme case!

The Heavenly Family young master has already spoken so clearly, and he is definitely a Hǎo rén.

Even his own brother couldn't stand it, stepped forward to stop him, yet Wu Zhong still shows no sign of repentance.

For a moment, Ye Zhangqing seemed to be able to feel the Heavenly Family young master's final helplessness.

As the saying goes, good words can't persuade a damned ghost; one sentence "she's not the same" killed all the kindness, pity, and justice in the Heavenly Family young master's heart.

However, Wu Zhong, who was getting carried away, paid no attention to these at all, staring fixedly at Ye Zhangqing as he spoke.

"Therefore, Ye Shī xiōng, with your talent, given time you will surely be able to battle the Heavenly Family young master."

"Of course, the junior brother won't let the senior brother help for nothing; from today on, whatever Xiūliàn resources the senior brother needs, aside from Cooking King Immortal City, as long as it's something my Wu family has, the senior brother may use it freely."

"The junior brother will certainly mobilize the entire clan's strength to aid the senior brother's cultivation; whatever orders the senior brother gives, the junior brother will not refuse, not sparing even mountains of knives or seas of fire, all to repay the senior brother's kindness."

"Please, Shī xiōng, assist me."
