Chapter 1796: Going Up Godwatching Peak (1/2)
The truth was that Shen Jinlong himself wished for this since his heart was no longer his the moment he laid eyes on Jilin Princess.
Since she was about to inherit the dao legacy of the Jilin Clan, she couldn’t marry an outsider. It was definitely an amazing news for Shen Jinlong.
Even before any of the rumors, his ancestors have already wanted a marriage between the two of them and even came to talk to the Jilin ancestors about it.
The Jilin ancestors didn’t directly reject it because Shrouding Sun was a good choice while Jinlong himself was a decent seed.
However, the princess refused right away. Her mind was set on the Heaven’s Will and didn’t have time to worry about romance.
Jinlong didn’t give up after this and simply felt that the time wasn’t ripe. As long as he kept on showing his best side, he would be able to earn her favor one day because he was the most excellent in this region, the most suitable for her.
This was the reason why he tried so hard for her arrival this time in order to satisfy her and leave a good impression.
“May I ask when you will go to the imperial clan for a marriage proposal?” Li Tianhao half-jokingly asked.
Jinlong naturally wouldn’t bring up the refusal and proudly declared: “I’ll let you know when I’m successful, Brother Li.”
“The marriage alliance between the two houses will be a joyous event and a blessing for the people of Jilin.” The cultivators quickly fawned over Jinlong.
Of course, some people weren’t happy but after truly thinking about it, only Jinlong had a good chance of earning the princess’ love.
Being the center of attention did satisfy Jinlong a bit. Nevertheless, he was determined to follow the princess and show her his best side this time around in order to win her heart.
G.o.dwatching Peak was beautified in a short time. Everyone here was waiting for the princess’ arrival.
Tieshu Weng knew that w.a.n.g Xiaotian wanted to cause trouble but they didn’t dare to leave because they were waiting to meet up with Li Qiye. Thus, he brought his disciples away from w.a.n.g Xiaotian - out of sight, out of mind.
Of course, He Chen’s group still wanted to stay at the peak as well in order to see the princess.
Li Qiye finally came over during their wait so they could finally breathe easy, almost like seeing the sun after a cloudy day. Without him by their side, they felt lost. When he was around, they felt quite safe even with just him standing there, not lifting a single finger.
They quickly rushed over to greet him.
“Am I in the wrong place?” Li Qiye pretended to be surprised at the dazzling mountain. It looked just like the main mountain of a sect now.
“No, this is indeed G.o.dwatching Peak but since Jilin Princess is coming, the people of Jilin decorated it a bit.” Weng explained.
“Good, let’s go up then.” Li Qiye nodded. He didn’t care about the princess’ arrival at all. His focus was to observe the star in order to find the position of Mad G.o.d’s corpse.
“I’m afraid Southern Sun Young Lord and Jinlong won’t let us up there.” Shen Xiaoshan was worried: “Earlier, I heard these big shots talking about not letting minor cultivators get up there.”
It made sense for that group to want such an atmosphere. They were going to welcome the princess and didn’t want randoms to be present. Moreover, this would lessen the compet.i.tion so even if Li Tianhao and Jinlong didn’t want to do it, the other great powers would chase the weak cultivators off the peak anyway.
Li Qiye smiled in response: “No one can stop me from going where I want.”
Weng was startled due to his negative premonition earlier.
