Chapter 221: Then, are you willing to marry the Princess of the Canghe Dynasty?

"I just feel that we both have secrets, and since you and Xingling know each other well, a marriage alliance now would be like adding flowers to a brocade."

Cang Xingyan said with a smile.

Don't let Cang Xingyan's smiling face fool you; Jiang Xun heard the threat in his words.

Secrets.

The meaning of these two words was essentially: if you don't agree, don't blame me when this secret comes to light.

"I still don't know what my status is over at the Tianyu Dynasty, so let me consider it. At the very least, let me finish communicating with the Tianyu Holy Emperor, right?"

"What if my position in the Tianyu Dynasty is very awkward? Wouldn't that harm your sister?"

Jiang Xun shook the Communication Jade Tube and said.

"Besides, does your sister even know about this?"

"I haven't had the chance to tell her yet. You think it over first; I'll go tell Xingling." Cang Xingyan said this and ran off in a hurry, not giving Jiang Xun any chance to speak again.

"Damn it..."

Jiang Xun cursed under his breath, his head aching.

"If you win the Top Ranking Challenge, you'll likely be summoned to the Tianyu Dynasty. What do you plan to do now?" Si Yuyan, who had been silent for a long time, sighed faintly.

"I don't even know how I'm going to propose saving the Lingerie-Sect if I win the Top Ranking Challenge, let alone what happens after that." Jiang Xun let out an even bigger sigh.

————

"I won't marry him!"

On Cang Xingling's side, when Cang Xingyan told her about the marriage alliance, she bristled with rage.

"Why? I thought you two had a pretty good relationship." Cang Xingyan asked, puzzled.

"Who has a good relationship with him? Brother, he killed an entire fly..."

Cang Xingling stopped halfway through her sentence.

Aside from herself and the Holy Emperor, no one else in the Canghe Dynasty knew about the flying ship, so she still couldn't speak of it.

"What?" Cang Xingyan was confused.

"Nothing. In any case, it is impossible for me to marry him, absolutely not!" Cang Xingling said decisively.

Back then, when she sought help from the Zanghe Holy Emperor regarding that flying ship incident, the Zanghe Holy Emperor thought it over and could only let Jiang Xun kill everyone on the entire ship.

But Cang Xingling was unwilling to let innocent people lose their lives. She had a huge argument with the Zanghe Holy Emperor over it, and in the end, the Zanghe Holy Emperor used moral blackmail on her, saying that the man was, after all, the savior of their dynasty.

If she wasn't willing to send the message, he would contact Jiang Xun himself.

Helpless, Cang Xingling had no choice but to tell Jiang Xun the original words, asking Jiang Xun to kill everyone on the ship. To her, that feeling was as if she had killed those people with her own hands.

She didn't say anything on the surface, but in her heart, she was extremely dissatisfied with the Zanghe Holy Emperor and Jiang Xun, who had carried out the killing.

Make her marry Jiang Xun, this guy who slaughtered the innocent? Absolutely not!

"It's not easy to find someone suitable, just consider it. Or I can go talk to Father." Cang Xingyan said.

"Then I might as well go die." Cang Xingling glared fiercely at Cang Xingyan upon hearing this.

"Xingling, it's not that I'm lecturing you, but Jiang Xun has a handle on us now. He is a Prince of the Tianyu Dynasty who is out in the open and can be controlled by us. This is a great opportunity for our Canghe Dynasty!"

Cang Xingyan looked at Cang Xingling with a serious face and continued: "Just treat it as being for the sake of the Canghe Dynasty, for the sake of the people of the Gufang Dynasty, okay?"

"What does this have to do with the people?" Cang Xingling asked upon hearing this.

"If he marries you and then takes Gufang Ninglin as a concubine, would there still be any problem with the Canghe Dynasty merging with the Gufang Dynasty?"

"He is now shining brightly on Tianwai Island, and the Tianyu Holy Emperor is currently in contact with him. They will surely have some dealings. When the time comes, as his wife and concubine, do you think he won't help you?"

"There are tens of millions of people; you should think it over carefully. Perhaps this is the only chance to save them." Cang Xingyan said.

"... You truly are Father's own son. Both of you only know how to use moral blackmail. Have you ever considered my feelings?"

Cang Xingling looked at Cang Xingyan with teary, red-rimmed eyes, her voice trembling. She held back her tears; as a Princess of the dynasty, she had long been prepared to be forced into marriage.

"Of course your brother considers your feelings. Having observed Jiang Xun for this period, he is actually quite decent, otherwise, I wouldn't entrust you to him." Cang Xingyan said.

"Do whatever you want. It's useless for me to refuse anyway."

Cang Xingling said this, pushed Cang Xingyan out, and slammed the door shut, locking it.

"Then I'm going to tell Father!" As Cang Xingling expected, Cang Xingyan didn't care what she said at all; he shouted with a smile at the door and then left.

On Jiang Xun's side, he had already established contact with the Tianyu Holy Emperor...

The other party had a voice that sounded like a middle-aged or elderly man, and he spoke with great majesty. This was the first time Jiang Xun had spoken to a Holy Emperor other than Tang Shanhe.

"I have conducted an investigation into your identity. You brat... where exactly were you cultivating before this?"

The Tianyu Holy Emperor was somewhat puzzled.

He had checked everywhere he could, and no one had ever seen this white-haired brat with the Rebound Spell.

There were some sects that claimed to have seen an old man in black robes from Shanhai Pavilion who was at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection and could use the Rebound Spell.

But clearly, that old man did not match this young man with blue and white hair.

Moreover, Shanhai Pavilion had also sent people, but they hadn't found that old man.

It was even more impossible to confirm the old man's identity.

"Just a lone cultivator." Jiang Xun smiled helplessly: "I just happened to obtain some fortuitous encounters, which is why I was fortunate enough to reach the Transformation God Realm. Being able to work for the Holy Emperor is truly my greatest honor."

"There is no need to be so reserved. From now on, you are my son. After the Top Ranking Challenge ends, come to Tianling City. As a Prince, there are some things you ought to learn." The Tianyu Holy Emperor said.

"Yes." Jiang Xun naturally could not show the slightest hesitation.

"I heard you performed well in the Top Ranking Challenge?"

"It was alright..." Jiang Xun nodded.

"Hahaha, defeating over a dozen people with higher cultivation realms than yours without a single scratch—that is not just 'alright,' that is quite excellent."

"Holy... Father, you are too kind." Jiang Xun could only accept this convenient new father for now.

"Regarding your performance yesterday, many dynasties have already proposed marriage alliances to our dynasty; do you have anyone you fancy?"

"This... to tell you the truth, just a moment ago, my master, Princess He Luyun of the He Yu Dynasty, and Cang Xingyan of the Canghe Dynasty also proposed marriage alliances to me. I am truly encountering these matters for the first time and cannot make up my mind..."

"Cang Xingyan?" Upon hearing this, the Tianyu Holy Emperor frowned tightly. He was far more sensitive in political matters than Jiang Xun and knew that Cang Xingyan would absolutely use Jiang Xun's identity as a threat.

As for Jiang Xun's current performance, the Tianyu Holy Emperor was very satisfied and had already made up his mind to let him continue being this Tenth Prince to serve the Tianyu Dynasty.

In that case...

"Then are you willing to marry the princess of the Canghe Dynasty?"
