C2 Qin Family's Marriage Proposal!

In the evening, at the training grounds.

"Look, isn't that the infamous trash Ye Lan from our Ye Family?"

There were currently quite a few Ye Family disciples on the training grounds.

Among the Ye Family disciples training there, one of them noticed Ye Lan and could not help but taunt hi.

"From the looks of it, Ye Ran seems to have beaten him up again!"

Seeing the bruises all voer Ye Lan's body, one of the disciples scoffed as he was sure that Ye Lan was beaten up by Ye Ran in the mountains again.

"Humph! To think that such a worthless trash would appear in my Ye Family! We're practically losing face with him here!"

"But what can we do? After all, the father of that trash is the patriarch of the family..."

"Otherwise, he would have long since been chased out of the clan and left to fend for himself in the wilderness."

"That's right! That useless trash isn't capable of doing anything anyways. Over the past decade, he could only rely on his father to protect him. Furthermore, Ye Yu remained completely loyal to him until the end. I really wonder how a proud girl like Ye Yu ended up falling for Ye Lan?"

The Ye Family disciples standing around the training grounds whispered to one another, mocking and ridiculing him.

At the same time, they sent disdainful gazes in his direction.

On the way to the Ye Family Medicine Pavilion, Ye Lan ignored and paid no attention to the other disciples' ridicules and disdainful gazes.

At this moment, he was set on going to the Medicine Pavilion to find some medicinal pills and a way to open up all of the meridians in his body. By doing so, he would also be able to finally awaken his Fighting Soul.

"Oh right, speaking of Ye Yu, it seems that the Qin Family has come to propose to her again!"

At that instant, one of the disciples uttered aloud.

"I heard about that too. It seems like the patriarch of the Qin Family brought his son, Qin Yijun, and personally led his men to the front gate of the Ye Family. From the looks of it, he's going to propose the marriage with Ye Yu to our patriarch this time."

The others nodded, obviously having heard of this as well.

"Hmm?"

Hearing the particular discussions of the Ye Family disciples, Ye Lan suddenly stopped in his tracks and revealed a waning frown.

The Qin Family!

According to his past memories, the Qin Family was equal to his Ye Family in terms of both strength and influence as they stood as large martial families in Lucid Aqua Town.

In Lucid Aqua Town, the large familes would have the tendency to compete and see who stands as the number one family. From the Ye Family's perspective, the Qin Family stood as one of its greatest obstacles.

It was especially apparent in recent days as the Qing Family had somehow recruited an alchemist into their family. Consequently, their influence and power in the town had risen drastically as well.

One had to understand that alchemists were extremely difficult to come by in the Martial God Continent.

If a cultivator wanted to raise their cultivation level, they would require all sorts of pills to help do so at a faster speed.

Thus, alchemists who could concoct such pulls were naturally sought after and revered by all cultivators in this world.

The more efficient the alchemist was in refining pills, the more popular and the higher their status they would be in the continent.

In his previous life, Ye Lan stood as the number one alchemist in the Martial God Continent and was even honored as the Alchemy Saint.

As such, he naturally understood the significance of the Qin Family successfully recruiting an alchemist into their family, especially in a place like Lucid Aqua Town.

"The Qin Family... came over to propose marriage again?"

A cold glint flahsed in Ye Lan's eyes.

In his previous life, the Qin Family came over to propose marriage with his adopted sister, Ye Yu. However, they would always be rejected by Ye Lan's father."

Having failed countless times in doing so, the Qin Family was enraged by the constant embarrassment. Thus, they relied on the existence of their family's alchemist and pressured the Ye Family by stealing a large portion of the business in town and gradually forcing them into a dangerous situation."

Furthermore, their actions caused his Ye Family to collapsed entirely, his father to be dealt a fatal blow, and his adopted sister, Ye Yu, to be forced into committing suicide. Only Ye Lan was lucky enough to survive through those hardships.

It was also around that time when Ye Lan sought vengeance and stumbled upon a great opportunity. Having awakened his Fighting Soul, he embarked on the path of martial arts and destroyed the Qin Family as soon as he had the strength to do so.

After that, he continued walking step by step towards the peak of martial arts and even become the number-one alchemist in the entire continent.

Recalling the scenes from his past life, the hatred lingering around Ye Lan's heart ignited once again as his eyes turned ice-cold.

A terrifying killing intent was faintly emitting from his body.

"Qin Family, having once suffered under your hands, I, Ye Lan, will not tolerate you destroying my family and causing the death of everyone close to me."

Ye Lan said gloomily.

With that, he turned around and headed straight to the Ye Family Hall.

The Ye Family Hall.

The Patriarch of Ye Family, Ye Zhenqun, sat upright on the throne with a calm expression.

Beside him stood a young girl.

The girl wore a delicate face had possessed beautiful features. Her skin was snow-white while she had a rather elegant temperament.

Wearing a long azure dress, her slender and graceful figure was vividly outlined.

Although she was still young, she had already grown into a fine young lady. If she was given more time to mature, she would definitely grow into a peerless beauty.

Surnamed Ye, the girl was once an abandoned infant that the Ye Family Patriarch, Ye Zhenqun, ended up adopting outside of Lucid Aqua Town. Since it was raining at that time, she was given the name Ye Yu.

Ever since a young age, Ye Yu's talent in martial arts had always been extraordinary. At the age of fifteen, she had already broken through to the first stage of the Qi Gathering Realm. It was only a matter of time before she arrived at the peak of the first stage. Thus, she became a well-known figure throughout the younger generation of the Ye Family. At one point, her admirers in the family even started their own cult revolved around her as their goddess.

Furthermore, as a result of her great achievements and extraordinary talent, Ye Yu's name spread throughout the entire Lucid Aqua Town, causing many young elites from various martial families to admire her greatly.

Among those who admired her was the young master of the Qin Family, Qin Yijun, who was the number-one genius in Lucid Aqua Town. Despite only being at the age of seventeen, he had already entered the second stage of the Qi Gathering Realm.

Consequenly, Qin Yijun managed to amass a large following in the town and built up an extremely high reputation, at least among the young generation.

As for the patriarch of the Qin Family, Qin Zhan, in order to fulfill his son's wishes, he had come over to the Ye Family twice at this point to propose marriage between Qin Yijun and Ye Yu. Unfortunately, both of his proposals were rejected firmly by Ye Zhenqun.

Today, Qin Zhan had, for the the third time, led him men to the gate of the Ye Family with betrothal gifts to propose marriage yet again.

Hearing about Ye Yu's talent from various sources had also ignited an ambition in his heart. If his son were to get married to Ye Yu, then the children they gave birth to would definitely have talent that far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators.

"Patriarch Ye, what are your thoughts on this marriage?"

At the bottom of the great hall, a middle-aged man clad in a purple robe asked with a smile plastered on his face as he swept his gaze towards Ye Zhenqun.

This middle-aged man was the Patriarch of the Qin Family, Qin Zhan. He is currently a cultivator at the Ninth Stage of Qi Gathering Realm and one of the few stronger individuals in town.

"My dear daughter's talent is only mediocre and cannot live up to the kindness of the Qin Family's patriarch. I, the patriarch of the Ye Family, do not dare to accept this betrothal gift."

Ye Zhenqun replied in a polite manner.

As the patriarch of the Ye Family, Ye Zhenqun had to choose his words carefully and take into account the interest of the entire family as a whole. In order to avoid offending the Qin Family, he did not dare to charge recklessly into Qin Zhan.

"Patriarch Ye, why do you say that? I've long heard of her extraordinary talent befitting that of a genius. Despite only being at the age of fifteen, your daughter's talent is nevertheless comparable... or even superior to that of my son's talent."

"What is this mediocre talent that you speak of? Patriarch Ye, you're being far too modest."

Qin Zhan laughed.

"Big Brother, since the Patriarch Qin is so interested in this marraige, why don't you just agree to his proposal?"

"If Ye Yu marries into the Qin Family, our family will definitely be able to shine brighter in Lucid Aqua Town."

At this time, in the midst of the great hall, a middle-aged man who looked similar to Ye Zhenqun advised.

That man was Ye Zhenqun's younger brother, Ye Zhenfeng. Currently in the Sixth Stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, he stood as one of the few experts in Lucid Aqua Town.

Upon hearing his younger brother's words, Ye Zhenqun's eyes narrowed as a trace of irritation flashed across them.

"Big Brother, don't be so angry. What I said was merely the truth. Not only is Nephew Qin extremely handsome, but he even possess outstanding talent and an extraordinary family background."

"If Yu'er could get married with him, it would certainly be a match made in heaven."

"This marriage will definitely work out!"

Ye Zhenfeng ignored Ye Zhenqun's feelings and blabbed on as he pleased.

Upon hearing Ye Zhenfeng's words, Qin Zhan, Qin Yijun, and the other members of the Qin Family revealed nothing but smiles on their faces.

"That's right! Patriarch Ye, you should reconsider. If Ye Yu marries into the Qin Family, we will definitely have more influence in town. Why would you reject such a beneficial marriage proposal?"

At this moment, in the great hall, another high ranking figure of the Ye Family advised him.

Many of the other higher ups of the Ye Family also nodded in agreement.

They all knew that the current Qin Family was already incomparable to the past. With a strong foundation and tremendous influence, they had somehow become the number one martial arts family in Lucid Aqua Town. Furthermore, they even managed to recruit an alchemist.

Compared to the Ye Family, the Qin Family was countless times stronger at the moment.

As such, the Qin Family's marriage proposal would only benefit the Ye Family.

Under the pressure of the other higher-ups, Ye Zhenqun's expression twisted with frustration as his heart fumed with rage.

Having been the patriarch of the Ye Family for such a long time, he clearly knew that the Qin Family had always been looking for opportunities to get rid of his Ye Family and become the unparalleled number one family of Lucid Aqua Town.

Under such circumstances, how could he possibly allow his daughter to marry into the Qin Family?

However, the other members of his family were all completely ignorant to that fact and only cared about their own short-term interests and gains, not caring one bit about what might happen to them in the future!

How could this not make him angry?

"But is your Qin Family worthy to marry Yu'er?"
