Chapter 408: Another Marriage Proposal – Is Jia Nan Academy a Matchmaking Agency?!
Xiao Yi Xian smiled gently, her beautiful eyes locked onto Wu Tian. At that moment, under the soft glow of light, her watery eyes were filled with boundless tenderness.
"This time… thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have…"
Before she could finish speaking, Wu Tian pressed a finger to her lips and chuckled.
"There's no need for such words between family! With this seal, we have two or three years finding a Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast won't be difficult."
Xiao Yi Xian nodded softly.
"But before that… I still need to teach you two a proper lesson…"
"Wait, what are you two doing? Murdering your own husband?!"
"Arghhh !!!"
"Cai Lin, remember that right now, you"
"?!!"
From within the room came a series of miserable cries from the Guardian Spirit…
No one knew how long had passed…
Wu Tian finally emerged from the room, leading Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian, as if nothing had happened.
But deep down, he looked absolutely miserable.
At that moment
"Huh?"
Just as they walked out, Wu Tian "coincidentally" saw Su Qian rushing over with an anxious expression.
"My dear Lord Pavilion Master! Finally, you've come out!"
Su Qian looked relieved upon seeing Wu Tian.
Wu Tian raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Su Qian had barely opened his mouth before he suddenly noticed Xiao Yi Xian's aura. His eyes widened in shock, and he blurted out,
"You broke through?!"
Seeing his stunned reaction, Xiao Yi Xian gently nodded.
She understood why Su Qian was so surprised for a Dou Ancestor, even advancing one star was a huge challenge, often taking years or even decades.
And yet
"Mm! Just two stars, that's all."
"…"
Su Qian's mouth twitched uncontrollably. After a long silence, he sighed deeply and muttered,
"I'm getting old… At this rate, I'll be the weakest person in Cai Lin Pavilion…"
Wu Tian immediately understood. Since Su Qian still had time to complain, it meant that there wasn't actually an emergency.
He turned to the old man and asked, "So, Great Elder Su Qian, why exactly are you here?"
Su Qian felt Wu Tian's impatience, so he quickly smiled and said,
"It's nothing major. It's just that the four Elders of the Snake People Tribe came looking for me, asking me to check with you when will the wedding be held?"
Wu Tian's eyes narrowed slightly.
One glance at Su Qian and he immediately understood
Those nosy old Elders must have tried to approach them earlier, but when they sensed the terrifying poisonous aura leaking from the room, they didn't dare get close.
So, instead of disturbing them directly, they had sent Su Qian as their messenger.
And since Han Feng, as Vice Pavilion Master, was always busy, it wasn't realistic to bother him with something like this.
As for Su Qian, the Great Elder of Jia Nan Academy, he was now basically retired.
After all, with Cai Lin Pavilion in control of the Inner Academy, there was no more work left for him.
Even the Little Falling Heart Flame in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower was still in its growth phase, meaning there was no need for his supervision.
He had zero responsibilities, and even the other Tower Elders had been relegated to reception desk workers…
As for handling students' petty fights? That was beneath him.
The entire Inner Academy practically ran itself now.
If Xiao Tian Chi, the Headmaster of Jia Nan Academy, saw what Su Qian was doing now, he'd probably die from anger.
So, with nothing better to do, Su Qian had reluctantly agreed to act as a matchmaker and come ask about the wedding.
Wu Tian was speechless.
"…Su Qian, when did Jia Nan Academy become a matchmaking agency?"
Su Qian shrugged, giving Wu Tian a knowing look as if to say, 'Don't play dumb. You know exactly why.'
Seeing Su Qian's expression, both Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian covered their mouths, quietly giggling.
Wu Tian paused.
Thinking carefully…
Jia Nan Academy really DID feel like a matchmaking agency
Xun'er went without saying. Their bond had existed long before Jia Nan Academy. If Wu Tian hadn't gone there, she probably wouldn't have even attended, instead returning straight to the Gu Clan.
But at Jia Nan Academy, their relationship had only grown closer.
Then there was Xiao Yu a senior sister who fell in love with him.
Then Hu Jia, the fiery tempered girl, who gradually warmed up after he repeatedly beat her in fights…
Then Han Yue, the cold beauty who eventually became a devoted companion.
And of course
There was also Zi Yan, the mysterious Ancient Dragon girl who despite her childlike form clearly had her own plans…
Wu Tian's face twitched slightly.
Indeed, Jia Nan Academy really did feel like a matchmaking agency…
Feeling slightly awkward, he coughed and quickly changed the subject.
"Ahem… Well, since they're insisting, we shouldn't delay it any longer. Let's go meet the Elders."
Hearing this, Wu Tian turned to look at Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, smiling gently.
The two women visibly shuddered.
Marriage?!
Although they had always known it would happen someday, actually hearing it confirmed still made them nervous.
Even Medusa, the cold and elegant queen, was blushing slightly, looking both alluring and embarrassed.
As for Xiao Yi Xian, she was even more nervous.
She had once been the ruthless and decisive Poison Queen, feared across the empire
But now, after confirming her relationship with Wu Tian, she was already getting married?!
This guy must have planned this all along!
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
First, he conveniently found a way to seal her Woeful Poison Body.
Then, right after the sealing was complete, Su Qian suddenly appeared to arrange the wedding.
This…
Wasn't this too perfectly timed?!
Still even if this was all a scheme, Xiao Yi Xian didn't mind at all.
Rather than feeling trapped, she felt warm and cherished because it meant Wu Tian truly valued and respected her.
After all, her poisonous body was dangerous, and she had worried that it would forever isolate her from others.
Now, however, she finally felt like she belonged.
Her cheeks flushed an even deeper red, and she bit her lip shyly.
Su Qian, watching from the side: "Young people really are something else…"
"…Ahem. Well then, I'll just… leave you all to it."
Seeing this unexpectedly romantic moment, Su Qian wisely decided to retreat.
"Enjoy yourselves, I'm off to use the restroom."
Wu Tian ignored him completely, his attention focused elsewhere.
With a mischievous grin, he wrapped an arm around Xiao Yi Xian's delicate waist, his eyes gleaming playfully…
The room's door, which had just opened, slowly closed once more.
Inside, a soft, golden glow filled the space, as warm flames flickered gently…
Later that day, when Wu Tian finally went to meet the Elders, he was shocked to find something unexpected
Every woman he was connected to was already gathered inside the Elders' chamber!
Besides Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, there was also Qing Lin, Han Yue, Hu Jia, Xiao Yu, Man'er, and Qing'er.
And the biggest surprise of all
Zi Yan was there too!
She was hopping around excitedly, helping the others take measurements…
Wu Tian: "Wait… are they making… wedding dresses?!"
