580: Chapter 140: Who Opposes_2 580: Chapter 140: Who Opposes_2 The silence within the clan hall did not last long.
A “ding-dang” sounded.
Soone had received a ssage.
Not just one person.
Many people had received the ssage.
It was news from Xu Yan.
In one hour and thirty minutes, he completed the comprehension of three Nightmare Sealing Items, becoming the new “S-class”!
The whole Snow Forbidden City was shaken by this.
Han Dang glanced at the ssage.
He calmly said, “Now…
Xu Yan has done it.”
The previously stalled negotiations subtly shifted at that mont.
“Han Dang, did you co to propose a marriage alliance?”
An elder spoke faintly, “These practices are outdated…
Children born to our Mu Family have their own freedom.”
“Such talk is barely enough to deceive children.”
Han Dang stated unequivocally, smiling as he spoke, “Everything in this world can be placed on scales and weighed, it all depends on whether the stakes are high enough…
How much is the freedom you just ntioned worth?”
The elder fell silent at once.
He had nothing to say.
Eventually, the Great Elder gently tapped the long table and asked, “How do you intend to form this marriage alliance?”
“Mu Ya.”
Han Dang nad a person, and seriously said, “I have no idea what my junior brother sees in this girl…
but he wishes to use his ‘S-class’ status and the standing of a Disciple of the Grand Judge to settle this marriage arrangent.”
As soon as the na Mu Ya was ntioned, everyone at the Elder Council’s faces imdiately changed.
“Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!”
An elder slamd the table and rose to his feet.
Veins popped on his forehead, as if he wanted to say sothing, but he ultimately swallowed his words.
These past few years.
The matter of Mu Ya and Gong Zi…
they had seen it with their own eyes and kept silent consent.
Although those two kept their involvent under wraps, this was after all Changye, and they were not blind.
It was about mutual affection.
These elders weren’t villainous, unable to help, nor could they personally tear it apart!
The Great Elder placed one palm on the tabletop.
He signaled for everyone else to calm down.
The Great Elder looked at Han Dang and calmly said, “This one won’t do, pick another…
”
“Another one?”
Han Dang laughed.
He helplessly said, “Please…
gentlen, do you think this is akin to selling vegetables?
Are such matters negotiable?
My junior has already invested his emotions.”
“Emotions?”
An elder also scoffed coldly.
“As far as I know…
Xu Yan and Mu Ya have never t, right?” he said sarcastically, “Is your esteed junior’s affection so frivolous that he has been in the Tundra for too long, only able to see the wild people in the snow mountains?”
Many in Changye did not like Xu Yan.
Anyone discerning could see that this guy…
was imitating Gu Shen.
Moreover, the relationship between the Mu Family and Gu Shen had been good.
This past year, Mu Nan and Mu Ya had both visited the Spring Rain Temple.
“Does that matter?”
Han Dang glanced at the ti again, removed his glasses, and slowly wiped them while posing the most crucial question.
“Whether Xu Yan likes Mu Ya…
Whether Mu Ya likes Xu Yan…”
“Does it really matter if they have feelings for each other?”
Han Dang put his glasses back on, and said word by word, “I’m here to request a marriage alliance…”
Such matters.
Where does mutual affection co into play?
This…
is like a transaction.
In a transaction, it doesn’t matter if the parties involved are happy or not; what’s important is whether the outco of the transaction is worthwhile.
Those angered elders, all of a sudden, beca silent…
They were sitting here, and the very thing they were engaged in didn’t deserve the false facade of “emotion,” because the so-called “marriage alliance” had never considered “feelings” first.
What was most terrifying was that the five great houses of Changye had been doing this for a long ti already.
“If my intelligence is not mistaken…
Your anger is due to the matter between Mu Ya and Gong Zi.” Han Dang calmly said, “But don’t forget, with Gong Zi’s identity, as the determined heir of the Gong Family, he is already bound by a marriage contract with Duke Duanyang of the North Continent…
You don’t really think that these two will end up together, do you?”
“Let’s back up ten thousand steps, does the Gong Family’s arranged marriage hold any true feelings?
They are willing to make sacrifices for the longevity of the clan, even if the one in question is the future Family Head.
And you cannot?”
Han Dang stood up, “The Bai Family has Bai Xiu.
The Li Family has Gu Shen.
The Mu Family has nothing…
but you could have Xu Yan.”
He smiled, gazing at the Mu Family elders seated in silent contemplation.
“I will step outside to clear my head.
Gentlen, please think it over carefully.
In half an hour, I will return here.”
After exiting through the door, he left behind the Mu Family’s elders in the clan hall.
They exchanged glances with one another.
The previous anger…
seed to have shifted sowhat.
And not long after, another ssage sounded.
“Ding-dang—”
It was news of Xu Yan breaking another record in his comprehension of the Jingzhe Scroll.
This erging genius had proven his potential to Changye in less than half a day’s ti.
At least for now…
he seed stronger than Gu Shen.
Perhaps, even stronger than Bai Xiu.
…
…
Half an hour later, Han Dang returned to the clan hall, and he was very satisfied with the expressions of the elders at that mont.
The eyes that were once brimming with anger.
Most of them had now turned to silence, to conflict, to confusion.
This short period was certainly not enough for them to discuss an outco…
“Three days.”
The voice of the Great Elder Mu Zhong resounded.
He looked at Han Dang and, this ti while speaking, he used a thread of spiritual power.
