However, before Ji Tianqi could speak again, a loud laugh suddenly came from the crowd, and then a burly heaven venerable stood up from the back: “Head of the Ji Family, since we are here, we naturally want to cooperate with the Ji Family. However, the Ji Family's martial arts contest for marriage only has the head of the Ji Family's youngest daughter. With so many of us here, isn't that a bit insufficient?”
“Hahaha.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue burst into laughter.
The forces that came were not few; indeed, with only Ji Xinyi, how could they share her among themselves? With the presence of forces like the Star God Palace, they were likely just here to spectate.
Ji Tianqi furrowed his brows slightly.
Then he heard the burly heaven venerable continue with a laugh: “I do not wish to sabotage the Ji Family's arrangements; rather, I hope the Ji Family can have even more joy today. I believe the Ji Family must have more than just Ji Xinyi as a talented woman. I have heard that Ji Ruyue from the Ji Family is also a talented individual.”
“Regarding the head of the Ji Family's daughter Ji Xinyi, my Thunder God Sect will not pursue her. However, we are willing to offer a heavenly venerable holy vein as well as a Thunderbolt True Elixir as a betrothal gift. We hope the Ji Family will consider this…”
Before the Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable could finish his words, people around began to discuss fervently. It was not about how the Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable was trying to recruit other women from the Ji Family instead of waiting for the martial arts contest for Ji Xinyi. Rather, they were astonished by the sheer generosity of the Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable.
To marry a woman from the Ji Family, he was willing to spend such a significant amount.
The Thunder God Sect was merely an ordinary heaven venerable force; a heavenly venerable holy vein was already extremely terrifying. Even among heaven venerable forces, there were not many who could directly produce one. Moreover, he was also willing to present a Thunderbolt True Elixir.
It was rumored that the Thunderbolt True Elixir could only be refined in the Thunder God Sect's secret realm, the Thunderfall Black Pool, where one could comprehend the thunder path and master thunder's divine might. A single Thunderbolt True Elixir could increase a heaven venerable expert's combat power by about twenty percent after consumption.
Such a treasure, and the Thunder God Sect was actually willing to offer it.
In an instant, the venue was in an uproar.
Who exactly was Ji Ruyue?
How did the Thunder God Sect know that the Ji Family had a Ji Ruyue?
How could they be willing to spend such a significant amount?
The Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable laughed heartily, his expression rugged, and cupped his hands: “Head of the Ji Family, I am also a straightforward man. However, I sincerely wish to propose marriage. Our Venerable Lei Ya of the Thunder God Sect is also a character of some renown. Now that he is already a venerable, he should not disgrace the disciples of the Ji Family.”
In the center of the hall, Ji Tianqi and Ji Tianyao's expressions froze.
What was going on?
Why was Ji Ruyue involved in everything?
Ji Ruyue was someone they had brought back after sensing the bloodline in their clan from the Palace of the Vast Cold, and she rarely went out. Logically speaking, not many from the human race's major forces should know about her. How did the Thunder God Sect come specifically to propose marriage?
What was happening?
At that moment, Ji Tianqi didn’t know what to say.
Beside him, Qin Chen felt a chill in his heart and looked over at the Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable. Why was this Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable specifically targeting Ruyue?
There had been no news of Ruyue having any connections with the Thunder God Sect.
Or perhaps, did they learn about Ruyue from the Myriad Races Battlefield's Myriad Divine Treasury Secret Realm?
While he was puzzled, Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable chuckled lightly: “The Thunder God Sect maintains a good relationship with the Star God Palace. It is said that the Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable once trained in numerous secret realms together with the Star God Palace Master; the two can be considered allies among the human race's forces.”
