Chapter 161 - The Rumors are Incorrect! (1/2)

The Wang Clan has a tradition that has lasted from the times where they weren't even part of the Big Four. Every single girl and boy who is born into the clan is given a seal called Wang's Mark. That mark itself doesn't have any power, can't help with cultivation, nor be sold since it only has value for the Wang Clan.

Once a woman or man is going to marry, they give their mark to the one they love. Once it is done, it is determined that they will stay together until the day of their deaths. But that only happens after the marriage is concluded. Before that, the mark only represents the girl's or boy's intention of marriage and can be retrieved before it happens. One case would be the partner's betrayal or death, for example.

Back then, it was exactly this mark that Feifei gave to Krune. Feifei was totally serious when she said that she wanted him to marry her. Different from Krune's belief, Feifei had never thought of it as a kid's harshness or anything. She was really looking forward to the day it happens and had been even secretly observing Krune's path so far.

The problem is that Feifei is way too important to the Wang Clan at the moment, so they couldn't allow her to be married outside. In fact, the elders of the clan had even discussed if they should not let Feifei marry at all! But in the end, the tradition was still more important for the clan than Feifei's power. Even if she was a boy, it would still be the same. The Wang Clan is a Clan where both men and women have the same status. It is so true that the Wang Clan's strongest ancestor just so happens to be a woman.

While Feifei was running in the direction of her father's room, Uncle Feng appeared in front of her.

”Wait, wait, wait! If you tell that you left your mark with him, your father will do everything he can to get him killed. He is still a Foundation Establishment cultivator, there is no way he can survive such a pursuit.”

There is no way that Feifei could be faster than Old Feng, so he was able to stop her just a second after she left. Feifei looked at Uncle Feng with an angry face.

”But...”

Uncle Feng didn't give any chances.

”It doesn't matter if he is now the Sect Master's disciple or not, he will, sooner or later, leave the sect for missions. At that time, if your father sends a Soul Forging Realm or above to take care of him, Krune will probably not survive at all. Is it what you want? Also, he is a wisp, it will be even more of a reason for your father to get rid of him.”

Feifei dropped her head and nodded.

”But it won't take long for him to notice that I gave it away.”

Uncle Feng just shook his head.

”Just keep refusing everyone, if he tries to force the issue, just pretend something like you prefer to kill yourself or whatever. As long as you don't accept any suitor, no one will ask you to give your mark to them.”

But there was still one problem.

”Then what about that Lofa? What if she takes my Krune away?”

Uncle Feng felt a headache. If he could, he would just send someone to take care of her and get done with it. But Feifei will never accept such an outcome, and there is no way he can do it on the shadows either. Feifei will find out the moment he decides to go ahead with this plan, after all.

As Uncle Feng can see it, there are two big issues about Krune.

First, Krune is the Divine Path Sect's Sect Master's disciple. So there is no way that that old foggy will allow Krune to be married into the Wang Clan. Not to mention that Krune is his very first disciple. Now that Uncle Feng thinks about it, he couldn't help but wonder why Feifei decided to meet the Sect Master 6 years ago. Things got more complicated now because of that.

Second, Krune is a wisp! It doesn't matter how talented, powerful, intelligent, or whatever he is. As long as he doesn't achieve the Divine Path Realm, his life span will always be an issue. No one in the clan would ever accept him even if Lucio agrees with letting him marry into the Wang Clan.

After pondering for a moment, Uncle Feng remembered something.

”Oh, that's right! The exchange program.”

Feifei looked puzzled at Uncle Feng.

”What is that?”

Uncle Feng then explained.

”This is a program where the big four send 3 geniuses to train with the other powers. Three genius for each power. It extends for one year, and during this time, the geniuses would go through the missions, training, study, and all the things that a real member of that power should have.”

Feifei's eyes immediately lit up! She had never cared much about the big four relationships, so she didn't know about that before. But now, she couldn't be more interested!

”When will it happen?”

Uncle Feng checked his communicator and then answered.

”Three months from now. You should use this time to convince your father that you want to go, though.”

Feifei then showed a playful smile and said.
