Martial Master

Even though he silently complained in his heart, he had no choice but to say this. “Then what do you mean, Ancestor Ji Tianyao? Today, I will have a good talk about it.”

Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable snorted coldly, “It’s not that I, Divine Artisan, am being unreasonable here. Your Ji Family’s Ji Xinyi can freely choose a husband through martial arts competition, yet my Tian Gong’s Ji Ruyue does not have this treatment. Does this not imply that my disciples from Tian Gong have no status?”

“I hope Ancestor Ji Tianyao can give me an explanation today.”

Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable spoke lightly. At this moment, his tone was not particularly harsh, but the dissatisfaction in his voice was very apparent.

“Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable Hall Master, it’s like this…” Ji Tianyao quickly explained, “The reason Xinyi is holding a martial arts competition to choose a husband is due to her own request. She said she admires the talented youths from various major forces of the human race, so she wants to take this opportunity to find a suitable husband for herself. However, Ruyue has never mentioned such a thing…”

“Oh? Was I overthinking it then?” Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable said lightly.

“Exactly.” Ji Tianyao responded, “How could we possibly look down on Tian Gong?”

“Then that’s good.” Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable nodded, “However, you all previously mentioned that as a disciple of the Ji Family, Ruyue is also an Elder of Tian Gong… she should naturally listen to the arrangements of the Ji Family and Tian Gong. Since that’s the case, I propose that Ruyue also participate in a martial arts competition to choose a husband today. An Elder of Tian Gong should naturally marry the strongest talents among various major forces. I believe Ancestor Ji Tianyao wouldn’t refuse, right?”

“This…” Ji Tianyao hesitated, feeling helpless in his heart.

He had initially set a trap, but he had fallen into it himself.

“Ji Ruyue is your Tian Gong’s Elder? How come we haven’t heard of this?” Ji Tianqi frowned and said solemnly from the side.

Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable glanced at Ji Tianqi and said lightly, “What? Do I need your approval, Ji Tianqi, to confer the title of Elder in Tian Gong?”

“I didn’t mean that.” Ji Tianqi frowned and replied, “As far as I know, an Elder of Tian Gong must be an earth venerable expert, while Ruyue is only at the venerable realm…”

“What of being an earth venerable? Am I not willing to do so? Not only Ji Ruyue but Ji Wuxue is also an Elder of Tian Gong. Furthermore, this Qin Chen is not a heavenly venerable either. According to the rules, our vice hall master must be at the heavenly venerable level. Yet he was still conferred the title of vice hall master. What’s the difference?” Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable replied blandly.

Ji Tianqi was immediately left speechless.

At this moment, everyone understood that Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable was clearly defending his subordinate, Qin Chen.

If Ji Ruyue was truly an Elder of Tian Gong, then it was not unreasonable for Tian Gong to have some say in her marriage.

“Ancestor Ji Tianyao, how about my earlier proposal? Let Ji Ruyue also participate in the martial arts competition to choose a husband. The final selection can naturally be decided by you and me, how about that?” Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable looked at Ji Tianyao indifferently, “Or is it that our Tian Gong’s Elder is not qualified to participate in the competition for a husband and must simply accept your Ji Family’s assignments? If that’s the case, then I’ll have to have a good debate with Ancestor Ji Tianyao.”

At this point, Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable was already emanating a cold aura.

His stance showed that he was ready to act violently if things did not go his way.

At this moment, Ji Tianyao found himself in a difficult position, unable to move forward or retreat.

The reason the Ji Family was holding a martial arts competition to choose a husband was to unite with the top forces of the human race to combat the Xiao Clan.
