After the extermination of the Taiyin Demon Palace and the Asura Demon Sect, this matter was soon discovered by the intelligence of various Immortal Sect Dao Lineages in the Cultivation Realm, thanks to the special operation by the elder from the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
This is what True Monarch Zhanmo referred to as a ’high-profile’.
In Ancient Yizhou, within the Great Yu Dynasty, at the Si Family ancient site.
Ever since the news broke that the Si Family’s proud daughter was to be married to the East Continent Zhang Family, the frequency of visits by many talented youths to this place had significantly increased.
Si Li’Er not only enjoyed great fame outside of the Si Family but also was admired by many talented young men within the family.
Upon hearing that Si Li’Er was to be married, how could these young disciples sit idly by? They began to make a ruckus and went daily to the Si Family ancient site to petition the elders to withdraw the marriage arrangement.
And those talented men of the Si Family with malicious intent toward the East Continent Zhang Family were numerous.
The softer the fruit, the easier to squeeze.
The elders of the Si Family could not be shaken, so they could only vent their anger on the East Continent Zhang Family.
But when Zhang Jian single-handedly annihilated the Taiyin Demon Palace, captured Yue Qingcheng, the Cold Moon Hall Master of the Asura Demon Palace, and Blood-Exhausted Demon God Xue Wuya, the provocative voices soon vanished.
At Baixi Residence, Zhi Xin Small Hut
Si Li’Er’s delicate features were calm amidst the idle chatter from a few sisters around her.
Beside her, a beautiful, graceful woman in yellow with warm features held an ancient sword, glanced over, and gracefully said.
"Little sister, the East Continent Zhang Family doesn’t seem weak at all. The Taiyin Demon Palace and Asura Demon Sect are quite renowned in the southeast region, with figures like Blood-Exhausted Demon God Xue Wuya and Taiyin Demon Palace’s master Yue Qingcheng being notorious demons. Many strong players have perished at their hands. That Eastern Continent Emperor, able to single-handedly defeat two major demon sects, likely possesses remarkable Dao Practice and Magical Power, standing out even among True Immortal level experts!"
Si Li’Er’s expression was unchanged, yet she nodded inwardly.
This provided her some comfort.
The marriage arrangement was settled, a process she couldn’t alter anymore, and naturally, she too hoped the East Continent Zhang Family would be stronger.
"Sister Yu’Er, you might be too optimistic!"
Beside her, a petite, doll-like girl was munching on pastries, noticing the gaze of her sisters turning to her.
She spoke.
"Indeed, both Xue Wuya and Yue Qingcheng have powerful Dao Practice, but fear not, they’ve merely surpassed the first Immortal Tribulation. Despite being stronger than other True Immortals, they aren’t necessarily immensely strong!"
The blue-clad girl next to Si Yu’Er scoffed.
"Si Doudou, without seeing it yourself, how can you make such sweeping assertions?"
Si Doudou glanced at the blue-clad girl and chuckled, "I know, believe it or not, it’s up to you!"
Si Li’Er, seeing her sisters nearly break into an argument, quickly signaled for them to stop bickering.
Most present were Si Family sisters, or cousins cultivating at the Si Family ancient site, gathered by her, not ordinary at all.
Many had outstanding Spirit Roots.
Some even possessed rare Postnatal Dao Bodies.
Such as Si Yu’Er and Si Doudou; one having the Postnatal Earth Dao Body, excelling in Earth Attribute Secret Technique cultivation, with outstanding talent.
The other possessed a rare Dao Body, the Innate Extreme Fortune Dao Body.
Born with great luck.
Even Emperor Yu held Si Doudou in high regard.
Si Doudou’s fame, as a True Seed of the Si Family, was no less than hers.
Si Li’Er now mediated.
"Alright, no need for disputes among sisters; we’ll just ask the elders to find out what’s true or not!"
Si Doudou, puffing her cheeks, spoke again.
"That’s right, little sister might not even join the Zhang Family; she could become someone else’s wife!"
At this remark, the ladies were stunned, the blue-clad girl assessed Si Doudou up and down.
"Si Doudou, what do you mean by that?"
The yellow-clad Si Yu’Er, using her expressive eyes, also asked Si Doudou.
"Doudou, have you heard some news?"
"I certainly heard, but it doesn’t relate to anything!"
Si Doudou replied coldly, and the others, realizing, didn’t bother arguing with Si Doudou.
Si Doudou’s attitude had always been problematic.
Only Si Li’Er could tolerate her, which the others couldn’t stand!
The sisters soon dispersed.
Si Li’Er kept Si Doudou behind, asking.
"Sister Shijiu, have you heard some news?"
Si Li’Er appeared earnest.
The Si Family descendants were numerous; alone her father, the Ninth Crown Prince Si Zhengqing, had dozens of children.
Si Doudou ranked nineteenth, though not of the same mother, the two maintained close ties.
Si Doudou put down her pastry, clapped her hands, and laughed.
"Little sister, do you know, you’re now quite desirable? News from those silly Ji Family folks say someone is gearing up for a wedding snatch!"
"Why would the Ji Family consider snatching a bride?"
Si Li’Er was taken aback.
Si Doudou laughed.
"Naturally, your charm captured the heart of that Ji Family True Seed!"
Smiling, she thought again, saying.
"Yet there’s probably another reason, a Ji Family member might want revenge. I heard recently during the Qingping Sea’s Sea King Festival, a True Immortal level ancestor of the Ji Family vanished, possibly linked to that Eastern Continent Emperor; they suspect a connection with him!"
