rful and heavy, tore open his opponent's palm before smashing into his chest with a resounding impact."Click!"A sickening crunch echoed through the air as the blow landed. Though it didn't completely...Though the entire Zhao family was originally bustling, it was well-organized. With this shout, the whole family instantly exploded.

Now, the name of the Immortal Ancestor Ye Bufan has echoed throughout the entire Kunlun Continent. Any sizable force or influential family knows his name well.

Upon learning of his personal visit, the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Yuan, immediately organized the core members of the entire family to line up and welcome him. Behind him followed his eldest son, Zhao Kaijiang, and his daughter-in-law, Zhang Xiuxiu.

Adding other core members of the family, with colorful decorations, a red carpet laid out, nearly a thousand people came to greet them in full force.

Ye Bufan glanced around, but he didn't see Chu Lingxi in the crowd. Ye Dianhui also didn't see Zhao Muyue.

"Greetings, Holy Ancestor! I am Zhao Yuan, at your service!"

Although Ye Bufan appears to be young, the head of the family, Zhao Yuan, does not dare to relax in the slightest. He bows his head and acts respectfully to the extreme.

After all, in the cultivation world, strength is paramount. The strength of those people could easily destroy the entire Kunlun continent, let alone a small family like the Zhao family.

Ye Bufan nodded, and the family of three followed the crowd into the main hall.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Si Tu Dian Mo asked, "Where is Ling Xi"

Zhao Yuan quickly replied, "She went to her father-in-law's house with our son. Don't worry, I've already sent someone to inform them, and they will be back soon."

Ye Bufan nodded. "No rush."

Zhao Yuan smiled broadly: "Holy Lord, your presence brightens my humble abode. I wonder what brings you here"

His heart was still pounding with anxiety, after all, the other party's background was too powerful, their family couldn't afford to provoke them even slightly.

Ye Bufan originally wanted to wait for Chu Lingxi to come back before saying anything, but it was difficult to keep it a secret when asked directly. So he said, "I came here today to propose marriage for my son."

Upon hearing this, all members of the Zhao family beamed with joy.

Zhao Kaijiang beamed with joy: "Your Holiness, I wonder which daughter of the Zhao family has been so fortunate"

In fact, he had never met Ye Dianhui before Zhao Yuan, and he was unaware of anything about Zhao Muyue.

Ye Bufan immediately realized that no one present was aware of the situation. He directly stated: "My son fell in love with Zhao Muyue at first sight. As his father, I am here today to formally propose marriage and hope that the head of the Zhao family will agree."

As he finished speaking, his wrist flipped, and a jade bottle of nephrite appeared in his palm. Although it was capped, an aura of immense power emanated from it the moment it appeared.

"This is the dowry, ten drops of dragon blood, please accept it with a smile."

His words were simple, yet each one resonated like thunder in the ears of every member of the Zhao family.

Dragon blood! This is dragon blood!

Even in the fairy world, this is an extremely rare treasure. Moreover, on the Kunlun Continent, even finding a single drop would cause a bloody storm throughout the martial arts world. Let alone ten drops being offered at once.

Originally, Ye Bufan had taken out a small bottle. They hadn't paid much attention to it at the time, but now they realized how valuable this dowry was.

Simply put, it's straightforward and to the point.

This dowry, it's not an exaggeration to say that it can marry any noblewoman from the entire Kunlun Continent, or casually buy a nine-star sect.

Zhaoyuan was so startled that he was dumbfounded. When he came to his senses, his eyebrows and whiskers twitched with excitement, and his whole body trembled.

Zhao Kaijang was the same, though the dowry wasn't for his daughter, it was still a marriage alliance with the Zhao family, and as the heir apparent, he was also overjoyed.

After a brief silence, Zhao Yuan extended his trembling hands and held the jade bottle in his palm.

"My Zhao family is honored to have the grace of the Holy Lord. It is truly an honor!"

"So, the Zhao family has agreed to this marriage" asked Si Tu Dian Mo.

"Yes! Of course!"

Zhao Yuan nodded repeatedly, what a joke, such a good thing came to the door, not agreeing is crazy, right

Though ten drops of dragon blood are precious, they pale in comparison to the prestige of an alliance with the Saint Ancestor. Without Ye Bufan, this divine being, to protect him, he wouldn't dare accept the dragon blood. Otherwise, even with Zhao family's strength, they couldn't keep it safe.

Now it is quite different, as the Zhao family's daughter is the granddaughter-in-law of Saint Ancestor. No one in the entire Kunlun Continent would dare covet even the most precious dragon blood.

He agreed to the marriage, and smiles appeared on both Si Tu Dian Mo's and Ye Dian Hui's faces.

Just then, a voice came from the doorway: "No, I disagree with this marriage!"

Everyone immediately turned their heads to look. Several people rushed in from outside, the couple at the front were Chu Lingxi and Zhao Tuo, the second son of the Zhao family.

Although it's been over two decades, Chu Lingxi is still as stunning as ever, with little change from her younger days.

Zhao Tuo is also handsome and imposing.

Behind them followed a middle-aged man, the head of the Chu family and father of Chu Lingxi, Chu Fangkui.

At the very end walked a girl, tall and beautiful. Every gesture she made spoke of grace and refinement, just like the lady that Ye Dianhui had fallen for at first sight - Zhao Muyue.

Chu Lingxi strode before the crowd and stated directly, "This marriage our Zhao family cannot agree to."

"Brother/Sister, do you know what you're talking about"

Seeing that the good fortune of Zhao's family was about to be ruined, Zhao Kaijiang was so anxious that he paced back and forth and pounded his chest.

Zhang Xiuxiu also chimed in, "That's right, Lingxi. To be favored by the Saint Ancestor is a blessing for our Mu Yue. How could we refuse"

Ye Bufan waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. Then he looked at Chu Lingxi with a slight smile, "Junior sister, it's been a long time. In the blink of an eye, we are both parents now."

After sighing and expressing his emotions, he continued, "Dian Hui is my son. Is there something about him that displeases you Why don't you agree to the marriage of these two children Or are there other factors at play"

It's clear that Ye Dianhui's last rejection was entirely due to Chu Lingxi's personal actions, and the Zhao family wasn't even aware of it.

This made him even more puzzled, what was the reason

Could it be that Chu Lingxi still harbors feelings for me from back then But she's already married with children now, shouldn't that be impossible

Chu Lingxi's expression was also quite complex, she sighed: "Senior Brother Ye, it's not that I don't want to, but it's really impossible."

Ye Bufan raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean Was someone forcing you"

With his current power, it's not an exaggeration to say he is absolutely unrivaled in the world. How could anyone possibly threaten him

"That's not necessarily so."

Chu Lingxi glanced at Situ Dianmo: "Brother Ye, have you ever thought about why we are so similar"

"Why"

Ye Bufan grew more and more confused. Back then, he had mistaken Chu Lingxi for Situ Dianmo. After questioning both of them, he found no clues and could only attribute it to coincidence in the end.

"Father, why don't you tell us instead."

Chu Lingxi pulled her father back. Chu Fangkuei looked at Situ Dianmo with a complex expression, "This all goes back to a hundred years ago..."

(Leave a suspense, let everyone guess slowly.)d, it was because of them that I survived.Hua Zi Yue looked deeply into Ye Bu Fan's eyes, then solemnly said: "Today, I owe you my life!"Nos. 3 and 4 looked at each other, then stepped forward and sai...
