Chapter 1370: Who Is Discussing Me?

"Hiss!"

"These... are all betrothal gifts?"

"Truly worthy of being the Saint Sect, such a grand betrothal gift is truly astonishing!"

"Among these, there is actually a middle-grade Immortal Artifact, and over ten low-grade Immortal Artifacts!"

"Look quickly, beneath those Immortal Artifacts are all Heavenly Fire Maple Leaves. Such precious medicinal materials are actually just placed beneath the Immortal Artifacts as a decorative embellishment."

"This is too extravagant!"

"That's nothing, haven't you seen those things placed next to the Immortal Artifacts?"

"Nine Profound Ice Wood, Earth-Departing Flame Gold, Tai Xuan True Iron... all top-tier artifact refining materials!"

"And various precious spirit grasses and pills... wait, hold on, is that gray spirit grass... Starlight Spark?"

"What? Is it really Starlight Spark?"

"My Heavens, that is something that evolves from Starlight Grass and takes a hundred thousand years to condense into Starlight Spark!"

"Looking at the entire Heavenly Continent, I am afraid that there are no more than a hundred such Starlight Sparks in existence. The Saint Sect actually took one out as a betrothal gift!"

"As expected! Only the Saint Sect can have such a grand handwriting!"

Outside the cave dwelling, many disciples exclaimed in wonder.

Most of these people came from factions large or small, and their horizons were already very high, but they were still shocked by these betrothal gifts, which was enough to show that the betrothal gifts brought out by the Saint Sect were indeed very precious!

Jiang Hongyan, however, was very calm, her gaze empty of everything, ignoring those betrothal gifts.

But when she heard the discussions of the crowd, her beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and she looked at the pile of betrothal gifts, her gaze falling on that gray spirit grass—it was exactly the Starlight Spark everyone was talking about!

Starlight Spark that evolved from Starlight Grass over a hundred thousand years!

The corners of Jiang Hongyan's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. What she cared about wasn't how precious this spirit grass was, but the Starlight Grass before it evolved, which reminded her of Xu Que.

That guy who burned hundreds of Starlight Grasses during the Heavenly Fragrance Valley trial assessment back then!

"Hongyan, are you satisfied with this betrothal gift? It is just a small token of my heart; in the future, I will definitely be able to give you things even more precious than this." Ming Yixuan caught Jiang Hongyan's gaze and expression, and was immediately overjoyed, thinking that Jiang Hongyan was very satisfied with this betrothal gift.

And in fact, before taking out these betrothal gifts, he had this confidence.

After all, these betrothal gifts were so precious; he really couldn't think of anyone who wouldn't be moved!

However, after looking at that Starlight Spark for a few seconds, Jiang Hongyan moved her gaze away, and for the other things in the betrothal gifts, she didn't even look at them again.

Ming Yixuan's words were also ignored by her.

From the time she came out of seclusion until now, she hadn't even said a single word or half a sentence to Ming Yixuan.

"Ahem, Hongyan, this is the intention of Young Master Ming and the Saint Sect, you can accept it!" At this moment, Dean Li seemed to notice that the atmosphere was not quite right, coughed dryly, and reminded her.

"No need!" Jiang Hongyan shook her head faintly, her tone also becoming much more indifferent.

She looked up at the firmament, seemingly thinking about something, and continued: "I should go!"

Should go?

Everyone present was stunned.

Ming Yixuan's expression also sank suddenly, looking very ugly.

Principal Li and the others seemed to have expected this, and looked at each other.

Following that, Dean Li spoke again, smiling bitterly: "Hongyan, this marriage matter was decided by the ancestors of both our Heavenly Palace Academy and the Saint Sect. There are many things you don't know yet, but you still have to accept these betrothal gifts first. We will tell you the rest slowly!"

"I have already said, my Dao companion is named Xu Que!" Jiang Hongyan frowned slightly.

"We naturally know this, but unfortunately, your Dao companion has probably already passed away. Now that you are free, it is rare that the Saint Sect is reasonable and doesn't mind your past, so you should be even more grateful!" Principal Li said.

Jiang Hongyan's expression changed suddenly: "What did you say?"

Principal Li shook his head: "You have been in seclusion for these past few years, but many things have happened in the outside world. That Dao companion of yours, Xu Que, has already appeared in the Heavenly Continent."

"He came?" Jiang Hongyan was somewhat astonished.

Originally, she had planned to find a way to return to the Four Great Continents after coming out of seclusion to rescue Xu Que from the Buried Immortal Valley, but she didn't expect Xu Que to have already come!

And from Principal Li's tone, it wasn't hard to hear that that guy had caused a huge mess again!

"Hongyan, you don't know this, but this Xu Que and his father are both people of corrupt character, cheating and swindling everywhere. Especially Xu Que's father, who once even cheated our Heavenly Palace Academy, and then killed more than half of the Saint Sect's disciples. He even forged a deadly feud with the Shennong Clan. Now Xu Que's father has disappeared, but Xu Que has appeared in Tian Sha City. As far as we know, several Immortal King ancestors of the Shennong Clan, as well as Immortal Kings from other forces, have already arrived in Tian Sha City several days ago!" Dean Li said.

Jiang Hongyan's brows couldn't help but furrow tightly.

Immortal King ancestors?

When did Immortal Kings appear in this Heavenly Continent, and so many Immortal Kings, all going to deal with Xu Que?

Thinking of this, she couldn't maintain her indifference.

"I want to go to Heavenly Fiend City!" Jiang Hongyan said immediately, and at the same time stepped toward the bottom, boarding the teleportation array!

But several figures suddenly appeared, blocking her way; it was Principal Li and his group.

"No need, it's too late for you to rush over now. In fact, the Immortal King ancestors of our academy and the Saint Sect have all set off a few days ago. If they are in time, they will naturally save Xu Que for your sake!"

Speaking of this, Principal Li paused slightly and continued: "Of course, this also depends on your choice. After all, Xu Que's dad once caused a huge disaster. If you can marry Young Master Ming, your status will naturally be different, and the ancestors will all take action for you. But if you refuse to marry, once the news is spread, they will probably sit by and watch!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Hongyan's gaze instantly turned icy.

Even many people present heard it; this sentence was clearly threatening Jiang Hongyan.

Originally, everyone was suspicious: was it necessary to mobilize the ancestors of so many factions to go to Heavenly Fiend City just to kill one Xu Que?

Now they all understood: the ancestors of the Heavenly Palace Academy and the Saint Sect wanted to snatch Xu Que and capture him alive.

The purpose was only one: to control Xu Que's life and death, and use it to threaten Jiang Hongyan to marry Ming Yixuan. If she didn't agree, Xu Que would definitely die.

"Hongyan, you can rest assured. As long as you and I become Dao companions, I believe the ancestors will do their best to protect Xu Que's safety." At this moment, Ming Yixuan also spoke, pretending to be sincere.

But in fact, this was an agreement negotiated by the ancestors of the Saint Sect and the Heavenly Palace Academy to force Jiang Hongyan to cooperate. But if Jiang Hongyan still refused to agree in the end, they would take tougher measures to control Jiang Hongyan besides killing Xu Que.

No matter what, Jiang Hongyan couldn't escape the outcome of the marriage. Of course, to ensure the smooth birth of the Heavenly Luck Dao Fetus Divine Body, they still hoped Jiang Hongyan would cooperate, otherwise they wouldn't have done these things to threaten her!

Whoosh!

At this moment, a majestic murderous aura already permeated from Jiang Hongyan's body.

Cold light flashed in her eyes, and her cold, indifferent expression was enough to explain her answer.

She could not possibly agree!

She also believed that Xu Que could not possibly let her agree!

"Hongyan, listen to this Dean's advice. Agreeing to this matter will be the best result for you, and Xu Que will also be safe and sound. At the very least, it can ensure that he can survive!" Dean Li spoke again to persuade her. He knew that even if Jiang Hongyan did not agree, it would be difficult for her to escape this fate.

"Yo! Who is discussing me? Do I need others to ensure whether I can live or not?"

Just then, a very frivolous voice came from behind the crowd.

Everyone present turned their heads to look.

They saw a young man in a black robe with a ruffian smile on his face, a cigarette in his mouth, a large dog by his side, and a sloppy old man, walking over!
