"How is Grandpa? Can we deal with this brat now?" Chen Xian'er said repeatedly, harboring great anger towards Lu Fan.
"How can that be? This is my old Chen family's grandson-in-law, how can we do that!"
Old Man Chen quickly waved his hand, "Hurry back with me and prepare for the wedding. We can't be too hasty!"
"Grandpa, do you know what you're saying?"
Chen Xian'er looked helpless. She never expected her grandfather to acknowledge the marriage in front of so many people. This was a devastating blow to her.
"Grandpa knows what he's saying!"
Old Master Chen said decisively, "You don't need to ask about anything else. You just need to know that Grandpa won't harm you, and this is a marriage arranged by Grandpa and your Grandpa Han. No one can go against it!"
"I don't, I don't want to!" Chen Xian'er quickly said.
"There are some things you don't understand yet, but this matter is not up to you to decide!"
After Old Master Chen finished speaking, he pulled Mr. Chen away, appearing incredibly assertive, as if Lu Fan had already become his prospective grandson-in-law, and no one could stop him.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fan was completely dumbfounded. He clearly didn't know what Old Master Chen intended to do or what Old Man Han had said to make his attitude reverse so quickly.
At this moment, everyone present was also completely stunned, especially Xu Fei. He never expected the outcome to be like this. He had originally wanted to help Lu Fan out of a crisis, but now it seemed unnecessary.
"Brother, you truly impress me. I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect it to be serious. If you really marry Chen Xian'er, you'll be our role model!" Xu Fei gave a thumbs-up, "She is the most beautiful girl among the Eighteen Gates of Jiuzhou, and countless people have fallen for her."
Lu Fan remained silent, looking even more helpless. He never imagined things would turn out this way, making him unable to control himself.
"Why are you still lingering here? Hurry up and leave!" Old Man Han came out, "Believe it or not, I'll give you a good beating!"
The disciples of the Eighteen Gates of Jiuzhou quickly fled, not daring to linger. However, what happened today was like a thunderclap to them.
Something completely impossible was about to happen. Even if Chen Xian'er disagreed, she couldn't resist the wishes of the two old men. They were clear about this.
In the Eighteen Gates of Jiuzhou, the marriages of many younger generations were decided by the older generation, and without exception, no one could break this rule.
"Grandpa Han, can this marriage really happen?" Sister Zhao asked, "What exactly did you say to Old Master Chen?"
"Young people shouldn't ask too many questions. Since your Grandpa Chen agreed, this kid's life is saved," Old Man Han said directly, "To save this kid, I've gone to great lengths. You can't let me down!"
Sister Zhao nodded slightly, not saying much more, but she was quite puzzled about this matter. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be like this.
"Old man, does the wedding have to happen?" Lu Fan asked with a frown.
"It must happen. If you are unwilling, you will likely face a dead end. Moreover, as long as you become part of the Eighteen Gates of Jiuzhou, you won't have to worry about anything in the future, and your spiritual power will be returned!" Old Man Han said directly.
"But I have no feelings for Chen Xian'er."
Lu Fan said directly, "You must know why you are pushing for this matter, right?" Su Dan Novel Network
"What can I say to you, kid!"
Old Man Han shook his head, "You have ruined the reputation of that girl, are you going to be irresponsible like this? Besides, this is the Eighteen Gates of Jiuzhou. Without my guarantee, Old Man Chen wouldn't let it go!"
Faced with these words, Lu Fan, though helpless, didn't know how to refute. It was true that Old Master Han was protecting him, but he was ultimately unwilling to do something he disliked.
"Marriage is a good thing, and Chen Xian'er is so beautiful. It's also great happiness for you!" Sister Zhao smiled, "No matter what, you have to thank Old Man Han!"
"I really do have to thank him. If it weren't for him, I might have lost my life!" Lu Fan nodded slightly, feeling a bit helpless inside.
He wanted to escape the Eighteen Gates of Jiuzhou, but unfortunately, there were no clues at all. After all, there was no human rights here, and everything was at the mercy of others, even his own marriage.
Upon returning home, Chen Xian'er still had a stern face, "I will not agree to this marriage, Grandpa."
"You silly girl, Grandpa wouldn't trick you!"
Old Master Chen smiled, "Do you know who he is? He is the Ancient Divine Body of the Eastern Region. When he reaches great accomplishment, he might guard a region and become an unparalleled overlord. In the future, if you follow him, you will have infinite glory."
"What if he's the Ancient Divine Body? I don't care about these things."
Chen Xian'er pouted, "Moreover, he is just a slave now. In front of the Eighteen Gates of Jiuzhou, he is not presentable. How can I marry him!"
"Foolish, short-sighted!"
Old Master Chen scolded, "Whether you agree or not, I will decide this matter myself, so you don't need to object!"
"Grandpa!"
Chen Xian'er was very angry and wanted to say something more, but was cut off by Old Master Chen, "I've already made it very clear, no one can defy my will!"
Chen Xian'er stomped her feet in anger but couldn't say anything more.
At the same time, the news spread instantly throughout the Eighteen Gates of Jiuzhou. The various gates were quite excited to learn of the happy occasion within the Eighteen Gates of Jiuzhou, as it had been a long time since such a joyous event.
And in the spirit mine, there was also a half-day holiday today, precisely because of the happy occasion, which led to such a grand display.
"Have you heard? The person who was captured with us last time is going to become a son-in-law of the Eighteen Gates of Jiuzhou. He's amazing now!"
"Who isn't saying that! Not only does he not have to work as a miner here, but he also gets to marry a beautiful woman. It's truly enviable. It's a pity that we can only be mediocre here for a lifetime!"
Conversations were endless. Shen Beitong sat aside, looking quite disheveled. His spiritual power had been withdrawn, and he had been working in the spirit mine. He had lost weight and looked like a monkey, and no one knew how long he could last.
As for the two saints he brought, they looked weathered and seemed on the verge of death, which was even more heartbreaking.
"This kid is indeed powerful! He actually managed to become a son-in-law of the Eighteen Gates of Jiuzhou. It's a pity we didn't kill him back then!" an elder said.
"He's lucky wherever he goes!" Shen Beitong said furiously.
