nChapter 26

nTake martial arts for example. The other ninth-grade families had many martial arts collections.

nEven the Beast Taming Aristocratic Families were no exception, but the Chen family did not have any martial arts that could be shown.

nAs for the martial arts that the Chen family’s Patriarch was using, although they were powerful, they were learned from the Beastmaster Sect after all and could not be passed down at all.

nBack to business.

nAfter Chen Xuan’s consolation, Chen Yang’s fighting spirit reignited. “No matter what, we have to give it a try. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll marry into the Li family.”

n“Marriage? Family Head, it’s fine if it’s something else, but I’m afraid marriage won’t work. After what happened to Ancestor Xue, she is not going to allow her family to marry us.”

n“Ancestor Xue said that the Chen family is heartless. Why should we marry them?” Chen Xuan smiled bitterly.

nHearing the First Elder’s words, Chen Yang revealed a playful smile. “Who said that the marriage alliance is for the younger generation?”

nChen Xuan retracted the smile on his face and said in disbelief, “Family Head, you can’t be thinking of…”

n“That’s right. I plan to sell off our Patriarch and let our Patriarch and Ancestor Xue marry. I heard that the two ancestors are less than a hundred years old. It’s not too late to continue the previous relationship.”

nChen Xuan was stunned. He really did not expect Chen Yang to really plan to marry off the Patriarch.

n“Family Head, isn’t this a little too much? If the Patriarch comes back, how are we going to explain?”

nChen Xuan was really a little afraid now. He was afraid that the Patriarch would tear his favorite descendant apart when he returned.

n“What’s there to be afraid of? In any case, the Patriarch has never married in his life. If we give him a chance, he might even be grateful to us.”

n“If the Patriarch really blames us, then drag my grandfather, your father, to my great-grandfather’s grave and cry together.”

n“Didn’t the Patriarch often say that he had let Big Brother and Fourth Brother down? When the time comes, he might forgive us.”

n“Then, we take the opportunity to say that the Chen family relied on the Patriarch in the past, causing his marriage matters to be delayed.”

n“Now that the Chen family has become powerful, it’s time for the Patriarch to pursue his own happiness. Don’t wait until the person is gone. It would be too late to regret it.”

n“With this combination of punches, I don’t believe the Patriarch won’t forgive us.”

nChen Xuan could not help but sigh. The head of the family really had a good brain.

nThis was obviously a trap for the Patriarch, but after hearing what the Family Head said, it seemed like it was for the sake of the Patriarch.

n“There’s no problem with the plan, but I have some other thoughts. My father is already in his eighties, so let’s not torture him,” Chen Xuan said weakly.

n“There’s no hurry. The Patriarch won’t be back so soon. Perhaps my grandfather will have broken through to the Genesis Realm by then.”

n“If there is no break through, then no torture. If there is a break through…”

n“Family Head, don’t worry. If my father breaks through to the Genesis Realm, even if I have to kneel, I will kneel before my grandfather’s grave.” Chen Xuan patted his chest.

nIn Chen Xuan’s opinion, Chen Yang meant that he had not given up on his father.

nIt had to be known that in other ninth-grade and even eighth-grade families, those who had yet to break through to the Genesis Realm in their eighties had long given up.

nAccording to Chen Yang, if there were resources, he would probably push Chen Xuan’s father to the Genesis Realm.

nAt the thought of this, Chen Xuan felt a lump in his throat. If possible, who wouldn’t want their father to live a little longer?

n“In that case, First Elder and Second Elder, prepare some things. We’ll send the betrothal gifts on behalf of the Patriarch.”

n“Alright!” Chen Xuan and Chen Meng agreed together. Then, they looked at each other and saw a trace of excitement in each other’s eyes.

nHehe, it was exciting to be the matchmaker for the patriarch.

nWhile Chen Xuan and Chen Meng were preparing the betrothal gifts, Chen Yang did not stay idle. Instead, he went straight to the Chen family’s incubation room.

nCounting the days, it was time for the Blazing Eagle to hatch.

nThis was a demon beast with the bloodline of a Demon Venerable, let alone a flying demon beast. It was only right that Chen Yang valued it.

nMoreover, unlike the Mystic Wind Wolf, Chen Yang did not intend to expose this Blazing Eagle. Instead, he will secretly nurture it and would use it as a trump card when the Chen family officially took action.

n“Family Head!”

nOutside the Chen family’s incubation room, the guards hurriedly bowed when they saw Chen Yang coming over.

n“There’s no need to be so polite. How’s the demon beast egg?” Through the window, Chen Yang glanced inside.

n“Just hatched, Family Head.”

n“Really? Then I want to go in and take a look.” When Chen Yang heard that it had hatched, he hurriedly pushed open the door of the incubation room.

nIn the entire incubation chamber, there was only one Blazing Eagle cub looking around.

nThe reason was that the demon beasts in the Chen family were all born in the womb, and there were almost no eggs. According to Chen Xuan, the reason why this incubation room was built was that it didn’t matter if he used it or not, but he had to have it.

nWalking up to the Blazing Eagle, Chen Yang reached out and stroked its feathers.

nAs expected of a demon beast that could grow to the level of a Demon Venerable. As soon as it was born, it already displayed a considerable aura.

nShe had golden wings, a pale blue eagle body, and colorful feathers on her head. It had to be said that the Blazing Eagle was quite beautiful.

nFaced with Chen Yang’s touch, the Blazing Eagle cub also echoed intimately.

nBeasts would treat the first creature they saw as their mother, and demon beasts were no exception.

nThis was also the reason why the guards did not come in to check after the Blazing Eagle hatched.

nThen, Chen Yang took a plate of demon beast meat and fed it to the Blazing Eagle bit by bit. He then contracted the Blazing Eagle.

nAs for his natal beast, he could only upgrade it after Chen Yang has broken through to the Genesis Realm.

nIn the following days, the Chen family had been preparing the betrothal gifts. After the preparations were complete, Chen Yang brought a few people and secretly headed to Li City.

nIn the Great Qian Dynasty, there was not just one city next to another.

nBetween each city were villages, towns, and even cities. These places all belonged to the eighth-grade aristocratic families of the county.

nTake Nanyang County for example. In the entire Nanyang County, half of the territory belonged to the Song family, and the other half was divided by the various ninth-grade families.

nThe reason for this situation was that the royal family of Great Qian was at the peak of their strength. The various large families would pay taxes on time.

nIf the royal family could not make it, then the cities in Nanyang County would be next to each other and pay taxes to the Song family at the same time.

n‘State and state alike.’

nAfter passing through the towns and villages controlled by the Song family, Chen Yang and the others finally arrived at Li City within three days.

nAfter entering Li City, Chen Yang and the others did not waste any time and headed straight for the Li family.

nThe Li residence.

n“What did you say? Chen Yang brought Chen Xuan and Chen Meng to see me?” The current head of the Li family, Li Ke, looked at the general in front of him in confusion.

nWhy did the Chen family visit him for no reason?

nWas it because of the marriage between the three families?

nFor a moment, many thoughts flashed through Li Ke’s mind, but no matter why the Chen family came here, he still had to invite them in first.

n“Please.”

nAfter giving the order, Li Ke straightened his clothes and led the elders to the reception hall.
