Chapter 212: No Way Out
Chapter 212: No Way Out
Sun Yuan was taken aback, "Ah, this is... probably not married yet, right?"
Wang Weihan burst into laughter, hugging Sun Yuan's neck, his eyebrows dancing with joy. "Brother Sun, don't get the wrong idea. She's not a direct descendant, just a distant relative. Ahahaha..."
Sun Yuan forced a smile, "I understand, I understand..."
Wang Weihan said, "This third young miss of our Wang family, with her exquisite beauty and youthful charm, is only seventeen. And Night Demon... hehe, so I thought, let's make a marriage alliance. Naturally, you understand that she's just a pawn in our family's grand scheme."
Sun Yuan, of course, understood.
A pawn.
This was a common practice among the aristocratic families. Using a so-called family miss of insignificant status to attract a genius, and then turning that genius into an in-law.
If this genius were to rise and soar, then naturally, heavy resources would be invested in him.
If this genius were to remain ordinary, then it wouldn't matter.
It was like raising a useless son-in-law, but daughters had to be married off anyway.
Sun Yuan couldn't help but consider the situation.
The Wang family was not small at all.
If Fang Che could establish this relationship, the road ahead would become much smoother, and with Fang Che's genius, Sun Yuan had full confidence that the Wang family would heavily invest in him in the future.
But the current issue was, was this matter real or fake?
Furthermore, Wang Weihan was from the Wang family, why did he not mention having a niece but instead spoke of a third young miss?
As an old hand in the martial world, Sun Yuan had already sensed numerous discrepancies. His heart was pounding, and he just wanted to leave.
"This matter, I'm afraid I can't make the decision. The Sect Leader should be the one to decide."
Sun Yuan cautiously said.
"Ai, who's letting you make the decision, brother Sun? Just pass on a message. Our Wang family has our reasons for doing this. Moreover, for Night Demon, it's almost like sending charcoal in the snow."
Wang Weixue said, "Night Demon has killed many people from the headquarters during the Incubation to Deity Program. Now, those families want to take revenge on him. At this moment, you One Heart Sect can't protect him. So, our Wang family came up with this plan."
"On one hand, our Wang family doesn't want to see a genius fall, and on the other hand, we're also making a bold bet for the future of our family."
Wang Weixue said, "I know what you're worried about, brother Sun. But rest assured, brother Sun, our Wang family didn't lose anyone when we participated in the Incubation to Deity Program. So, there's no need to worry about revenge or anything like that."
"Moreover, even if Night Demon were to form a marriage alliance, it's still uncertain if he can seize the opportunity and break through the encirclement under our Wang family's protection in the future."
"But that third young miss, after hearing about Night Demon's deeds, has shown admiration and reverence several times, which made us come up with this sudden plan... Hehe, brother Sun, let's drink."
This drinking session made Sun Yuan's heart soar and sink.
The people of the Wang family were very enthusiastic.
However, Sun Yuan also sensed a certain distance in their enthusiasm.
During the banquet, Sun Yuan was also as discreet as possible, keeping his secrets to himself.
Moreover, out of the old hand's caution, he didn't dare to make any promises.
But, the secret about Night Demon still inevitably leaked out.
Because at that time, it was impossible to remain calm.
"Brother Sun, what exactly is this matter? You'll know once you go out and inquire. Our Wang family is betting big on Night Demon, hehe, but our Wang family isn't the kind to casually marry off our daughters."
"I hope you'll consider helping us with this matter. Naturally, if you're unwilling, brother Sun, we can directly ask the Seal God Palace Sect Leader."
"Matchmaking is always a pleasant task."
"Let's exchange communication jades and keep in touch. When you're in Xuanwu City in the future, be sure to inform us. Come visit us for sure."
The banquet ended on a happy note.
Sun Yuan returned to his residence, his mind still in a daze. He had drunk quite a bit but wasn't drunk; however, this matter had a significant impact on him.
Night Demon, that little guy... When he left, was he already a Martial Master?
How did he become a General Rank?
Moreover, he even participated in the Incubation to Deity Program?
This was too unexpected, right?
But Sun Yuan knew this matter wasn't false. Night Demon, who had offended the Night Demon Sect Leader, was only one person in the One Heart Sect, and that was his own disciple.
After thinking about it, Sun Yuan left his residence.
In the world of spiritual energy cultivation, it was impossible to receive any communications. He had to go out to make contact.
After leaving, he took out his communication jade.
First, he contacted Fang Che, "Did you participate in the Incubation to Deity Program?"
Fang Che immediately replied, "Yes, Master, you're back?"
Sun Yuan's heart stirred, and indeed, it was him. "Did you win the championship?"
"Yes."
"Did you offend many people?"
"Offending people is inevitable when killing."
"I understand. I'll look into it when I'm back in Xuanwu City and then inform you."
"Yes, Master, please come back early. I miss you."
Sun Yuan chuckled, his smile warm.
This little brat, he's improved so quickly.
Even with all the respect and affection shown towards me, I've done so much for him.
So, I replied, "Focus on your cultivation. You have many troubles and crises ahead, so you must quickly improve your strength."
"Yes, Master," he replied.
"When I return, I'll show you the knife manual I mentioned before."
"Yes, Master."
Sun Yuan immediately went to find Qian Sanjiang. Although Qian Sanjiang's cultivation was indeed higher than Sun Yuan's, he was the most approachable. As for Mu Lin Yuan and the Seal God Palace, their status was too high... Sun Yuan didn't dare disturb them casually.
"Sun Yuan, you're back?" Qian Sanjiang greeted him warmly, surprising Sun Yuan.
Sun Yuan only had to bring up the topic, and Qian Sanjiang eagerly explained the situation.
After listening, Sun Yuan felt the matter was even more significant.
Mustering his courage, he sent a message to the Seal God Palace, explaining the Wang family's purpose for seeking them out and repeating everything to the palace.
The Seal God Palace was also somewhat uncertain.
They immediately sent a message to their headquarters for further investigation.
To their surprise, they discovered that none of the Wang family members who entered the Incubation to Deity Program had died.
This was unbelievable.
The Seal God Palace was now in a dilemma.
What was the Wang family's true intention? Were they genuinely interested in Night Demon's potential, or did they have other motives? But this thought only flashed through their minds, and the Seal God Palace made a swift decision.
"Refused!"
The Seal God Palace was clear in their decision.
Night Demon's current identity was secretive, and this was their greatest life-saving barrier.
Even if the Wang family were to ally with Night Demon, their identity would undoubtedly be exposed.
That would be when the real danger began.
Sun Yuan received the message and understood.
"I understand," he replied.
"Then, you must immediately find a way to leave Xuanwu City, change your identity, and go to White Cloud Continent. Protect Night Demon personally."
The Seal God Palace instructed.
"Yes, Sect Master."
...
That night, the three Wang brothers and several others were also discussing the matter.
"Do you think it will work?" one of them asked.
"Absolutely not," another replied.
Wang Weihuan spoke calmly, "But we're just inquiring about the news. Now that we have the information, there's also an unexpected surprise."
"What's the surprise?"
"The surprise is that Sun Yuan knows about Night Demon and is well-acquainted with him. Although he tried to conceal it, when this topic suddenly came up, he couldn't hide his shock, and some traces were still revealed."
"Marvelous!"
"However, Sun Yuan is so cautious, which further proves that the Seal God Palace values this disciple highly. Therefore, the greatest obstacle this time lies with the Seal God Palace."
"Yes."
"But the One Heart Sect is already undergoing a closed-door rectification, and the Seal God Palace won't come in a short time."
"So, what you mean is..."
"My brother's grudge must be avenged!" a young woman said with a face full of hatred.
The others also looked grief-stricken and resentful.
"Then let's make it happen. Let's get Sun Yuan to return quickly. You can openly and secretly follow Sun Yuan. How about that?"
"Thank you, Brother Wang, for your help. Our three families will never forget this favor!"
"You're welcome."
The next day, Sun Yuan received the notification that he could leave his seclusion and return.
Sun Yuan knew this was probably the Wang family's doing.
Since there was no way to refuse, and the Seal God Palace had the same request, he went along with it and agreed, carrying his luggage as he walked out.
Then he froze.
He saw Wang Weihuan and a young woman smiling at him, with two people standing behind her, presumably her bodyguards.
"Brother Sun, are you leaving now?" Wang Weihuan asked.
Sun Yuan sighed and said, "Yes, yes, but about yesterday..."
"Don't worry about it," Wang Weihuan said with a smile. "This is my third niece, Wang Yun'er. She's very eager to meet Night Demon. Haha... Brother Sun, this little girl is too willful. She insisted on going to see Night Demon... I had no choice."
Sun Yuan was speechless.
Damn, you want me to take this girl to Night Demon for a blind date?
"Brother Sun, please take good care of her on the way."
Wang Weihuan made it clear that Sun Yuan had no choice but to comply.
Wang Yun'er blushed and shyly stepped forward, "Senior Sun, please consider this as a trip for her. As for whether she'll get to meet Night Demon... it's up to fate. Is that okay?"
When she mentioned "Night Demon," Wang Yun'er's eyes flashed with a mix of shyness and anticipation, like a young girl experiencing her first crush.
Sun Yuan was at a loss for words.
With the girl going to such lengths, he couldn't even refuse.
"It's just that the journey will be bumpy and long..."
"No problem."
Wang Weihuan clapped his hands, and four Unicorn Warhorses galloped over.
Sun Yuan carried the luggage, feeling chilled to the bone.
The other party had calculated every step, pushing him into a corner.
There was no chance of refusal.
He had no way out!
