Chapter 89: Marriage?? (2/2)
The Undying Yushan and the rest also looked at the man—Rocky Auna, the Ninth Captain and Jenny’s uncle, “Jenny has a long-standing marriage contract with someone else.”
Yan Gang smiled, “Captain Rocky must be mistaken. I’ve just participated in Earth’s trial with Miss Jenny and can be considered acquainted. I also asked her, and she’s said she isn’t engaged yet.”
Rocky’s gaze frosted over, “That was before. My Auna Family has a marriage contract with the Zishan Family; everyone in the Great Yu Empire knows this, you can try asking around.”
Yan Gang could not help but look at The Undying Yushan, who glanced at Rocky and nodded, “That is correct.”
Yan Gang frowned, “Your Imperial Majesty, from what I know, Miss Jenny does not want to be married to the Zishan King as there is animosity between them.”
“As if she can make a decision on something as big as her marriage!” Rocky barked.
Yan Gang was furious, but his hands were tired, “Since that is so, I understand. I will report back to my superiors and Young Master. He has just caught wind that Princess Wendy Yushan has joined the Outerverse Youth Council, which he has always looked forward to. He will participate in the selections in a few days, and might have an opportunity to work with her. They can discuss matters again then.”
Everyone was startled as they heard this news. Was Yan Feng qualified to join the Outerverse Youth Council? They didn’t know, and if it was true, it would be troublesome. Hold on. They suddenly all realized what had happened here; the Fireforge Planet had been targeting Wendy all this while! Huo Xiaoling and Jenny Auna were just excuses, those refusals by the Great Yu Empire made it easier for them to chase after her. The Great Yu Empire had already rejected Huo Xiaoling and Jenny Auna to be wedded to the Fireforge Planet, but if Yan Feng successfully wooed Wendy Yushan, it would be difficult to reject them again.
It was more possible the more they thought about it. Many looked at The Undying Yushan, though he remained calm and showed no signs. Yan Gang still seemed to seethe with anger. Huo Qingshan and Rocky Auna looked at Yan Gang with icy gazes. They had been used as tools in this matter, and would not let it slide.
“Alright, I’m tired, you can leave,” the Emperor lethargically waved his hand, and the audience left the court. “Summon the Zishan King to the palace to meet me.”
Not long after, Lu Yin’s plane flew over to the palace. The Zishan Residence was far too close to the palace, so he had arrived before the courtiers were even out of the Grand Astral Gate. With Bronsen about ten meters away, he greeted several of them. Sicar even smiled and was extremely polite.
Quite a few officials were unhappy after being extorted by Lu Yin, and a few hid from him to prevent being targeted. Lu Yin waited until they’d all left before walking in without a hurry.
“Your Majesty,” a voice rang beside his ear.
Lu Yin turned and saw an indifferent Rocky Auna, “Captain Rocky, good day.”
“Be more earnest in handling things, and cautious in both word and action. Don’t trust others too readily; you can always look for my family if you need help,” he stated. He had personally mentioned the marriage contract in the royal court, so Lu Yin was now the Auna Family’s future son-in-law. He left a chill behind in the air as he turned to walk away.
Lu Yin was stunned. What was that supposed to mean?
“Your Majesty, His Imperial Majesty is awaiting you,” the palace maid reminded, and Lu Yin promptly followed her in.
A short while later, Lu Yin’s cry rang through the courtyard, “What? Engaged to the Auna Family?”
The Undying Yushan smiled and nodded, “Yes, this was the agreement between the Zishans and the Aunas. Rocky personally confirmed it in the royal court today; you should prepare for the marriage and look for a good day, you’re not that young anymore.”
“With whom?” Lu Yin asked.
“The direct heir, of course. Jenny.”
