Originally, Li family hadn't been a large family. Li Tiangang, its current patriarch, had once served in the army, and did not really excel at geomancy. Li family didn't have many descendants. They had a couple of distant relatives, but none of them had any achievements, and neither did any of them have any fame.

However, Li family owed its current status solely to the only member of its younger generation – Li Zong.

Uncommonly gifted, Li Zong was a rare talent of Li family, who had been promoted to the leader of the first action group of Supernaturalism Management Bureau (SMB) as well as the deputy head of the organization at a very young age. Wherever he went, people would respectively call him ”Supt. Li”, which was a clear indication of his formidable strength.

Because of this, everybody was shocked by the news that Li Zong, whose achievements seemed to be beyond human capabilities, was going to marry that good-for-nothing of He family.

In fact, there were many precedents for a marriage between two families of cultivators like this in the realm of cultivation in this country, among which gay marriages were not rare. But the strength gap between Li Zong and He Zheng was too wide for people to believe this news to be true.

Even Li Zong's superiors in SMB called him to ask about this matter.

But these two interested families seemed to be unaffected.

At three o'clock in the after noon on this day, Li Zong's car drove into the messuage of He family on time.

The phantom-face sores on He Changchun's body deteriorated somewhat. On hearing the news of Li Zong's arrival, he struggled out of bed and went to the gateway to welcome Li Zong.

His other two sons and He Yu, his daughter, had already arrived.

Qiao Peiyu and her two sons were masters of pretence, but her daughter, who was her youngest offspring, was pampered and rather bad-tempered. Displeased, she observed, ”Father, you're ill. Why did you come here? He's not really some important person...”

”Shut up.” Qiao Peiyu darted a dark glance at her daughter, but there was no trace of anger on her face.

He Changchun didn't look very well.
