Chapter 719: 721, Is this how you treat your benefactor? (First update)

Everyone knew that the ancient Konghou was extremely proud, and only those of the Bloodline of Fire Bathing could play it.

Yet Chu Jin, not only could she play the Konghou, but she also managed to summon the Dancing Dragon and Phoenix. Was this someone of mixed blood?

Chu Jin may have grown up in the secular world, but her strength was second to none; calling her someone of mixed blood was simply too far-fetched!

And who knew who started the rumor that Chu Jin was a person of mixed blood?

"I!" The Third Elder chocked, ’I’ for quite a while without managing to utter another word.

She was no reincarnation of the empress, how could she possibly play the Konghou?

Wasn’t Mo Zhixuan deliberately making things difficult for her in front of everyone?

The Third Elder felt humiliated and clenched her fists. She hadn’t expected that at her age, she would still be cornered by a junior!

Mo Zhixuan slowly looked up, "Third Elder has nothing to say now, does she? You keep claiming that Chu Jin is of mixed blood, yet even this half-blood who has lived among commoners all her life can play the Konghou, while you, with superior blood, cannot. Does this mean you are even inferior to a half-blood?"

By the end of his statement, Mo Zhixuan’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

The statement was artistically crafted, leaving the Third Elder with only two options.

One, to admit that her bloodline was inferior to Chu Jin’s.

Two, to retract her previous statements, admitting that Chu Jin was not some half-blood, but the true Bloodline of Fire Bathing, more noble than any other in the Superpower World.

The Third Elder was shaking with anger; she had never expected Mo Zhixuan to be so aggressive!

Indeed, Mo Zhixuan was too ungrateful! Was all she did not for his own good? Not only did he not appreciate it, but he also ridiculed his elder, her!

"Master." Xi He stood up, promptly supporting the Third Elder. Otherwise, this elder would have collapsed to the ground from anger.

Mo Zhixuan, however, did not pay attention to the Third Elder’s reaction. Since they had come to this point in the conversation, he decided to continue, "As everyone knows, only those with the Bloodline of Fire Bathing can play the Konghou. Therefore, Jin is not the half-blood as described by the Elders. I humbly ask the five Elders to grant us their blessing." With the last statement, Mo Zhixuan bowed to the crowd as a junior would.

The support and blessing of the five Elders weighed significantly in the Superpower World, especially regarding his marriage to Chu Jin.

With the wedding imminent, it couldn’t be postponed because of misunderstandings or trivial matters.

In time, they would surely witness Chu Jin’s abilities.

"Grant your request?" The Second Elder slammed the table and stood up, "Grant you and a commoner? Impossible! Not in this lifetime! Mo Zhixuan, you must realize, you’re not just anybody! You represent the entire Superpower World!"

To grant Chu Jin to Mo Zhixuan?

How could that be possible?

Could someone of Chu Jin’s background possibly be worthy of Mo Zhixuan?

After all, Mo Zhixuan had once turned his back on the secular world eighteen years ago; now that he was back, he certainly shouldn’t be allowed to leave again.

For the Elders, Xi He was nothing more than a tool to constrain Mo Zhixuan.

Once Xi He bore children for Mo Zhixuan, escaping the Superpower World would become much harder for him!

After all, Xi He was raised by the Elders like a puppet on strings, easy to control.

Having Xi He by Mo Zhixuan’s side, they could always keep tabs on his movements.

Any unusual preparation by Mo Zhixuan, and Xi He would report it to them.

This was the true intent of the Elders.

Anyway, they would not allow Mo Zhixuan to marry Chu Jin.

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhixuan slightly furrowed his brows and said coldly, "Jin is of the Bloodline of Fire Bathing! She is not the common half-blood you speak of!"

"Bloodline of Fire Bathing?" The Second Elder sneered, "Zhixuan, do you really think that just because she can play the Konghou, she’s of the Bloodline of Fire Bathing? It’s not as simple as you think! Chu Jin can play the Konghou simply because she is the reincarnation of the empress! If she were of the Bloodline of Fire Bathing, then everyone in the secular world would be too!"

The Second Elder certainly did not believe Chu Jin was of the Bloodline of Fire Bathing.

What if she was the reincarnation of the empress?

A thousand years ago, Jun Huang managed to unify the Nine States.

A thousand years later, Chu Jin was just a commoner from the secular world.

"I stand by what I say, the wedding in five days will proceed as planned, but the bride must be Xi He! Only Xi He is a match for you. This is not up for your agreement or disagreement!"

With that, the Second Elder’s tone was arrogantly certain, leaving no room for maneuver.

Xi He’s heart, riddled with anxiety, soared.

Oh, the irony.

It was her own life, yet these people decreed her fate with but a few words.

They didn’t even bother to ask for her opinion.

Tragic.

Before Mo Zhixuan could speak, the Fourth Elder stood up to mediate, "We all think this is a good arrangement. Zhixuan, you and Xi He have grown up together. You are childhood sweethearts, a match made in heaven..."

The Fifth Elder also stood up, "Zhixuan, I’ve always thought of Xi He as my daughter. I would be at peace entrusting her to you. Get over your displeasure; Xi He, of the Divine Race bloodline, is more than worthy of you. She is far nobler than Chu Jin!"

"Exactly, exactly," The Sixth Elder added, "Zhixuan, this is a wonderful opportunity! Stop making that face!"

The expression on Mo Zhixuan’s face grew colder, his features as if shrouded with an impenetrable layer of frost.

"Since everyone agrees, then it is so decided." The Second Elder tapped the table, summarizing the conclusion.

"I’m sorry," Mo Zhixuan said, looking at the five Elders with a chilly demeanor, "I disagree. I will not marry Xi He."

Mo Zhixuan had always been respectful to the Elders, so he had been suppressing his emotions.

But his stance was firm.

No matter what, he would not marry Xi He.

Did the Second Elder think he could be so easily manipulated? To think that prying in someone else would replace Chu Jin?

Hearing this, Xi He breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good enough to know Mo Zhixuan stood firm.

In this world, no one could compel Mo Zhixuan to do anything.

"We have already decided on this matter, you have no right to disagree!" The Second Elder’s tone was incredibly stern, brooking no argument, as if he were the one who truly ruled the Superpower World.

"What if I must marry Chu Jin?" Mo Zhixuan loosened his tie, his tone softening.

Despite the softened tone, the overwhelming pressure it carried was still palpable, sending a shudder through one’s spirit.

Mo Zhixuan was truly angry.

A chilling coldness could be felt from several meters away.

"We do not permit it!" The Second Elder was resolute as iron, and he continued, "To let a commoner become the Lady of the Superpower World, wouldn’t that be a joke to the other two realms?"

In the history of the Three Realms, there had never been a precedent for marrying a commoner.

If Mo Zhixuan, the leader of the Superpower World, were to marry Chu Jin, it would become a laughingstock for everyone.

Second Elder and the others were also using the pretense of considering the Superpower World’s best interests to satisfy their own desires.

If the Lady was Xi He, then after Mo Zhixuan unified the Three Realms, their status would also rise significantly.

At that time.

They would become famous throughout the Three Realms.

After all, they would have raised the Mother of the Three Realms.

But if Mo Zhixuan were to marry Chu Jin, what would they count for then?

After the unification of the Three Realms, who would remember them?

Thus, Mo Zhixuan must marry Xi He.

"Then I’ll tell you something as well. When I show you respect as my elders, you’d best act the part," Mo Zhixuan slightly lifted his eyes, the corners of his mouth carrying a barely perceptible curve, "Whether you agree or not, I have decided to marry Chu Jin! Do you understand?"

As Mo Zhixuan spoke these words, a powerful aura burst forth from him, chilling one to the core.

Such was the rumored majesty of a King.

Even the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Elders, with all their worldly experience, trembled within.

The Sixth Elder, in particular, was so frightened that his braided hair stood on end, but he quickly subdued it with a swift gesture.

He couldn’t lose face in front of the younger generation.

"What kind of attitude is this, Mo Zhixuan!" The Second Elder stood up abruptly, his face flushed with anger,

The Second Elder was very angry.

Was Mo Zhixuan, taking advantage of his position as the head of the Superpower World, showing no respect for his seniors now?

Moreover.

In the memory of the Elders, Mo Zhixuan had always been humble and courteous towards his elders. When had he ever been so unreasonable?

Therefore, the Second Elder and the others found it somewhat hard to accept.

They did all this for Mo Zhixuan! For the Superpower World! Yet, not only was Mo Zhixuan ungrateful, but he also had this attitude!

It was truly disheartening!

"This is my attitude," Mo Zhixuan’s thin lips parted slightly, "If you don’t wish to see it, the door is to your left. Feel free to leave; I won’t see you out."

How ridiculous!

Whom he chose to marry was his business. When did it become these people’s place to interfere?

If it wasn’t for the respect due to the Elders, who had once taught him ancient martial arts, Mo Zhixuan would’ve flipped the table in anger long ago!

And waited until now?

If they truly had his best interests at heart, then why did they merely watch indifferently during that incident eighteen years ago?

But the past was the past, and Mo Zhixuan preferred not to dredge up old affairs.

Upon these words, the Second Elder grew even more furious.

Not just the Second Elder, but the other four Elders were also enraged, huffing and glaring.

So in Mo Zhixuan’s eyes, they were meddling in his affairs?

How could Mo Zhixuan not understand that all they were doing was for his own good?

Only Xi He was so excited that she almost clapped for Mo Zhixuan!

Nine Ye was truly Nine Ye.

If it were someone else, who would dare to speak to the five Elders like this?

And to do so with such domineering presence!

"Zhixuan, what you’re saying isn’t right," the Sixth Elder pressed down on his little braid, stood up, and continued, "Why don’t you think about it? We’re doing all this for your benefit. Look at Xi He, with her nose and eyes all in the right places. What’s not good about her? Marrying her wouldn’t be beneath you, and Xi He isn’t objecting! You shouldn’t be so reluctant! If it were anyone else, they’d be overjoyed!"

The Fifth Elder also said, "Zhixuan, the Sixth is right, we’re all considering your best interest. And it’s not just us pressuring you to marry Xi He; it’s the will of the people. Xi He comes from the Divine Race, and you possess the body of an emperor. The fusion of your bloodlines will ensure that your offspring are extraordinarily talented and naturally powerful. The two of you are simply a match made in heaven!"

"..."

What followed were all words persuading Mo Zhixuan to marry Xi He.

They thought they were on the moral high ground, but were meddling with others’ happiness.

For the future of the Superpower World, what’s the big deal with a little sacrifice?

How can you not consider the bigger picture!

We’re all doing this for your good?

Mo Zhixuan swept a cold gaze over everyone and said slowly, "My mind is made up, Elders needn’t say more."

"You must marry Chu Jin?" The Third Elder raised his eyes to Mo Zhixuan, his gaze scrutinizing.

He felt Mo Zhixuan had changed.

The Mo Zhixuan of the past would have given everything for the Superpower World.

Even the incident that happened eighteen years ago didn’t seem to bother him, and he even agreed to return to the Superpower World.

So why wouldn’t he compromise now for the sake of the Superpower World?

Mo Zhixuan seemed to see right through the Second Elder’s thoughts, his tone icy, "I returned to the Superpower World because of Chu Jin. In a manner of speaking, she has been a benefactor to the Superpower World. Is this how you treat a benefactor?"
