It was only a short period of time before the elder came out of the inner palace. He went to Gu Mu and said, “Gu Mu, go and bring the kid here, the patriarch wants to see him.”

“Alright, I will go now.”

Gu Mu was delighted. He knew that Gu Xuantian would surely meet Jiang Chen, the betrothal gifts that he offered were just to generous after all. No ordinary person would be willing to fork out such gifts. Even if Gu Xuantian refused to betroth Wu Ningzhu to Jiang Chen, he would be pleased to meet such a young genius who had caused a stir across the Pure Land. As a matter of fact, the Gu Family was one of the families who wished to see such a chaotic situation in the Pure Land.

Gu Mu quickly returned to his residence and brought Jiang Chen to the inner palace. On the way, they met Wu Ningzhu who was also heading to Gu Mu’s residence. Her facial expression revealed delightfulness when she saw Jiang Chen.

“I knew that you would eventually come. I knew that you wouldn’t let me marry another man.”

Wu Ningzhu gave a smile. The beauty of her smile could put the entire world in a trance.

“Even if I didn’t come, I’m sure that sister Ning wouldn’t marry another man.”

Jiang Chen shrugged. He knew that Wu Ningzhu’s heart belonged to him. She believed that Jiang Chen was her only knight in shining armor the moment he unmasked her veil. Besides, in her heart, there was no one that could be more excellent than Jiang Chen.

“Humph! Are you sure about that?”

Wu Ningzhu let out a cold humph.

“When did your husband ever lose his confidence?”

Jiang Chen didn’t care much about what Gu Mu thought. He tugged Wu Ningzhu into his embrace. She laughed with delight as she was embraced by her man. There was nothing to be shy about. This was in fact, a kind of bliss. She was the one who sent Gu Mu to look for Jiang Chen. She knew that he would come after knowing that Gu Xuantian would betroth her to another man three days later.

*cough* *cough*

Gu Mu let out two coughs, this couple just treated him like air.

Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu laughed. Then, Jiang Chen released his arms from Wu Ningzhu. They needed to consider this old man’s feelings anyhow.

“Prince, miss Ningzhu, I think we should continue our way to the inner palace now.”

Sighed Gu Mu.

“Little Chen, I have no idea how the patriarch will react to your arrival. He has already promised to marry me to Gu Liufeng and released my mother when this condition is fulfilled. I’m afraid that your emergence will…”

Wu Ningzhu didn’t finished her words but it was enough to express what she wanted to say. She knew Jiang Chen’s capabilities but this was still the Gu Family after all. There are experts here that had a cultivation level that was as high as the clouds. Jiang Chen would not be able to start a commotion here. If it was only for her sake, Jiang Chen could just simply take her away from the Gu Family, but her mother, Gu Lan was still in their custody. Her mother was the main reason why she came to the Divine Continent.

“Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Jiang Chen held Wu Ningzhu’s hands. Her worries were somewhat alleviated when she felt his sturdy and firm hands.

In a woman’s perspective, regardless of how powerful or independent the woman is, she would need someone to rely on, and that someone would often be a man. Jiang Chen was the man that Wu Ningzhu had relied on. This was a man who would never let anyone harm her.

Inside the inner palace of the Gu Family,seven to eight people were seated. They were all Great Saints of the Gu Family with lofty status and power. The one who sat on the most important seat was a seemingly forty-year-old man with a medium body size. He was wearing a blue robe that projected the feeling of cleanliness. Although he was just sitting there, it gave people the feeling that he was a big mountain. The imposing expression on his face exuded a domineering aura.

This man was the patriarch of the Gu Family, Gu Xuantian. He was the leader of the Gu Family in the Pure Land. While Gu Mu was leading Jiang Chen to them, all of their eyes were fixed on Jiang Chen. They were astounded by his looks, because no one had thought that Jiang Chen would be so young.

“You are Jiang Chen?”

An elder asked.

“That’s right. I’m Jiang Chen. I have come here to propose a marriage to Wu Ningzhu. I suppose patriarch has already known about my marriage with Wu Ningzhu before. If Gu Mu hadn’t went to Dan Yuan City and interrupted our wedding ceremony, we would’ve been a married couple by now. So, it only makes sense that would I come here and propose a marriage.”

Jiang Chen said straightforwardly.
