"How is Grandpa? Can we do something about this kid now?" Chen Xian'er said repeatedly, harboring great anger towards Lu Fan.
"How can that be? He is the grandson-in-law of my old Chen family, how could we do that!"
Old Man Chen waved his hands quickly. "Hurry up and go back with me to prepare for the wedding. We can't be too hasty!"
"Grandpa, do you know what you are saying?"
Chen Xian'er looked helpless. She never expected her grandfather to admit the marriage in front of so many people. This was a devastating blow to her.
"Grandpa certainly knows what he is saying!"
Old Master Chen said resolutely, "You don't need to ask about anything else. You just need to know that Grandpa won't harm you, and this is the marriage Grandpa settled with your Grandpa Han. No one can go against it!"
"No, I don't want to!" Chen Xian'er said quickly.
"There are some things you don't understand yet, but this is not something you can decide!"
After Old Man Chen finished speaking, he pulled Mr. Chen away, appearing incredibly forceful. It seemed that Lu Fan had already become a prospective grandson-in-law in his heart, and no one could stop him.
Lu Fan was completely stunned by what he saw. He clearly didn't know what Old Master Chen intended or what Old Man Han had said to cause such a sudden reversal in his attitude.
At this moment, everyone present was also completely dumbfounded, especially Xu Fei. He never expected the outcome to be like this. He had initially intended to help Lu Fan out of his crisis, but it seemed it wasn't needed at all.
"Brother, you truly impress me. I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect you to be serious. If you really marry Chen Xian'er, you'll be our role model!" Xu Fei gave a thumbs-up. "She's the most beautiful girl among the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu, and countless people admire her."
Lu Fan remained silent, looking even more helpless. He never imagined things would turn out this way, leaving him with no control.
"Why are you still gathered 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 Sects of Kyushu fled one after another, not daring to linger. However, what happened today was like a thunderclap to them.
Something that was 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 Sects of Kyushu, the marriages of the younger generation were decided by the older generation, 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 went through a lot of trouble. You all better not disappoint me!"
Sister Zhao nodded slightly, not daring to say more. However, she was quite puzzled by this matter. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't have turned out this way.
"Old man, is the marriage absolutely necessary?" Lu Fan asked with a frown.
"It is absolutely necessary. If you are unwilling, you'll likely face death. Moreover, as long as you become one of the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu, you won't have to worry about anything anymore, and your spiritual power will be returned!" Old Man Han said frankly.
"But I have no feelings for Chen Xian'er at all."
Lu Fan stated 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've ruined a young lady's reputation, are you just going to be irresponsible? Besides, this is the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu. If I hadn't vouched for you, Old Man Chen wouldn't have let this go easily!"
Faced with these words, Lu Fan, though helpless, couldn't refute them. It was true that Grandpa 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 great happiness for you!" Sister Zhao smiled. "Regardless, you must thank Old Man Han!"
"I really do need to thank him. If it weren't for him, I might have lost my life!" Lu Fan nodded slightly, feeling helpless within.
He wanted to escape the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu, but unfortunately, there were no clues. After all, there was no human rights here; everything was subject to manipulation, even his own marriage.
After returning home, Chen Xian'er still had a stern expression. "I will not agree to this marriage, Grandpa."
"You foolish 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 one region and become a peerless overlord. Following him in the future will bring you boundless glory."
"So what if he's an 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 Sects of Kyushu, he's nothing. How can I marry him!"
"Foolish, short-sighted!"
Old Master Chen scolded. "Whether you agree or not, I will make the decision. So, you don't need to object!"
"Grandpa!"
Chen Xian'er was furious and wanted to say more, but Old Master Chen cut her off. "I have already made myself clear. No one can defy my wishes!"
Chen Xian'er stomped her feet in anger but couldn't say anything more.
Meanwhile, the news instantly spread throughout the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu. Learning of a joyous occasion within the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu, the various sects were quite excited, as it had been a long time since such a happy event.
In the spiritual mine, there was a half-day holiday today, precisely because of the joyous occasion, hence the grand fanfare.
"Did you hear? That guy who was captured with us last time is about to become a son-in-law of the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu. He's really 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 beauty. It's truly enviable. It's a shame we can only be mediocre here for our entire lives!"
Conversations could be heard everywhere. Shen Beibitong sat to the side, looking quite disheveled. His spiritual power had been confiscated, and he had been working in the spiritual mine, losing weight and looking like a monkey. It was unknown how long he could last.
As for the two saints he brought, they looked weathered, as if they were on their last breath, which was heartbreaking.
"This kid is indeed formidable! He actually managed to become a son-in-law of the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu. It's a shame we didn't kill him back then!" an elder said.
"Good things happen wherever he goes!" Shen Beibitong said furiously.
