To his surprise, Yan Zaizen was placed in a chair. It was an odd sensation. It's not like he voluntarily gave up his free-will, but it was as if he just went with the flow of things. One second, he was curing a cousin for a skyship. The next second, he was engaged to a woman he never met.

However, the chair was pretty comfy.

He observed his surroundings, finding out he was in some lounge of some sorts, but it was very minimalistic like the grounds. Despite that, he could tell there was more than meets the eye. Everything, even this chair, was covered in formations of some sort. Perhaps that's why he felt so comfortable.

”Han Zaiji, correct?” An elegant middle-aged man slide into his vision, his eyes filled with an inquisitive gaze. It was Ying Fenmian. Yan Zaizen only nodded slightly, maintaining silence. It didn't take long before Ying Sumian walked in. Her expression when she looked at Yan Zaizen was incredibly guilty. She signaled with her eyes that she would explain everything later. However, Yan Zaizen didn't care about this.

”The skyship.” His eyes focused on her.

”Oh?” Ying Fenmian was surprised hearing his words. He turned to Ying Sumian, his glance filled with questioning. Ying Sumian immediately explained.

”I promised him that he would receive the skyship in exchange.” She said.

”I see.” Ying Fenmian said, his expression a little solemn at her words. A skyship wasn't cheap. However, if what Ying Sumian said earlier was the truth — that this boy had comprehended a world law — then giving it up for him to be a part of their family would be small in comparison.

”Which world law have you comprehended?” A question he truly wanted to ask from the moment he heard it was finally asked. Yan Zaizen finally calmed down during this exchange, organizing his thoughts and looking towards Ying Fenmian. He had a feeling this man knew all Ying Sumian said was absolute bullshit. However, he didn't seem to care. If anything, he looked a little relieved.

”Wait! Wait! Explain, now!” He wasn't going to be schemed against or pulled along any longer. He demanded answers. What the hell just happened, and why did it happen? Was it even necessary?!

Ying Fenmian frowned.

Ying Sumian cleared her throat at Yan Zaizen's reaction. She immediately started explaining, ”I apologize for this, Han Zaiji. The He Clan's designate — He Shijing — is trying to pressure our family to marry Ying Yimian to him by using the He Clan's forces. However, he already has three wives, and my cousin hates his guts. Thu-”

”Wait!” He sharply interrupted. ”Why not just directly decline the proposal?”

Ying Sumian heaved a sigh, which was filled with resignation. ”We couldn't. It's complex.” She didn't even know where to start, but Ying Fenmian continued.

”If we declined their proposal, our clan would no longer exist.” He said calmly, explaining it simply.

”What do you mean? I'm confused, why am I necessary? Why does it matter if I'm here, you're still under threat of clan annihilation if you decline, right?” To him, none of this made sense.

”Because if we have the backing of the Vanishing Fiend Sect, we couldn't be touched. So, you with your talent and background marrying into the family would remove all potential problems that may occur.” Ying Sumian clarified.

Yan Zaizen thought they were out of their damn minds. Why would he agree to any of this even if his background and talent were sufficient?! Why not just marry your daughter to the He Clan. Things like this happen all the time; you don't always get to marry who you want.

Ya Qinqan.
