Ultimate Martial Divine King

Chu Hen's heart tightened as he saw more than a dozen figures walk out from the dense forest in front of him. He subconsciously protected Luo Mengchang behind him with a cautious expression on his face.    

"Father!"    

But soon after, Luo Mengchang shouted in surprise.    

Father?    

The master of the Luo Family, one of the eight great clans of Yueyong City, Luo Qiong?    

Chu Hen was stunned, he saw that the person didn't have any dangerous aura, and the person leading was a middle-aged man in his forties.    

The man wore a brocade robe and had an extraordinary bearing. His face was like a crown jade and he had a very handsome appearance.    

However, if one observed carefully, they would discover that there were quite a few white strands between his temples and that there were shallow grooves on his forehead …    

This was clearly the mark left by a person who had worked hard all year round, having gone through many hardships and hardships in order to leave behind a mark after being beaten up by the wind, frost, snow, and other snow.    

Even so, the middle-aged man in front of him still had a unique aura.    

"Eldest Miss!"    

The crowd behind Luo Qiong saluted respectfully in unison.    

"Dad, why are you here?"    

Luo Mengchang walked in front of Chu Hen. However, she did not immediately return to Luo Qiong's side. Instead, she looked at him with surprise.    

Luo Qiong didn't answer, but sized Chu Hen up with his slightly aged eyes and asked, "Can I talk to my daughter alone for a while?"    

Chu Hen was stunned for a moment and answered a bit unprepared, "Of course." He then cupped his hands and bowed politely, "Chu Hen greets Patriarch Luo."    

Luo Qiong nodded with a smile, but the emotions behind the smile were a bit complicated.    

Luo Mengchang was a little confused, she always felt that Luo Qiong was a little strange.    

"Chang'er, come with me." Luo Qiong said and took the lead as they walked towards a small path in the forest.    

"Go! I'll wait for you here. "    

Chu Hen said softly.    

"En!" Luo Mengchang agreed softly and left with Luo Qiong.    

Not long after the two of them left, another group appeared.    

This passerby was none other than a member of the other Yueyong City's other clans, Fist Extinguisher Cang Yuanzhe.    

"Hehe, what a coincidence, I bumped into you here."    

Cang Yuanzhe looked at Chu Hen teasingly and said.    

Chu Hen frowned and ignored the other party.    

However, to Chu Hen's surprise, the Luo Family didn't greet Cang Yuanzhe's group.    

Obviously, they had met before.    

Cang Yuanzhe sneered when he saw Chu Hen ignore him. "What are you still doing here?"    

"What has it got to do with you?" Chu Hen retorted in annoyance.    

"Heh, this place is filled with people from my Yueyong City, so wouldn't it be a bit of an eyesore for you to stand here as an outsider?"    

"If it gets in your way, you can walk away. No one wants you to stand here."    

"You!"    

Cang Yuanzhe's face slightly sunk. A few words were retorted back by Chu Hen, which was more or less a bit embarrassing. However, he couldn't beat Chu Hen, so he didn't dare to make a move.    

Then, he took a deep breath and laughed coldly, "Hmph, to be honest, the only reason you can defeat Young Master Blood is all because of 'Spiritual Heaven Sigil'. There's nothing good to be afraid of, if my big brother Cang Yuzhe was here, the champion of Grand Meeting of Sword Ceremony, it wouldn't even be your turn!"    

Cang Yuzhe.    

Young Master Yu, who was the leader of the Four Young Masters.    

When they heard this name, many of the people present more or less expressed their admiration.    

"Are you done?" Chu Hen replied plainly.    

"Hmph, with your background, how could you be worthy of Luo Mengchang? I advise you to quickly die. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, she will soon be a member of our Cang Family."    

"What did you say?" Chu Hen's pupils contracted as frost appeared on his face.    

The quiet forest was filled with fresh soil.    

A few rays of sunlight shone through the treetops, appearing especially gentle.    

Luo Qiong, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. After a moment of hesitation, he slowly turned around. His gentle eyes were filled with the tender affection of a father.    

"It seems that you like that young man a lot!"    

Luo Mengchang chuckled softly as her beautiful eyes darted around. "Yes, he is indeed very attractive and especially kind to me."    

Luo Qiong hesitated for a moment and said with difficulty, "If you chose between him and Cang Yuzhe, who would you choose?"    

Who would you choose?    

Luo Mengchang's sudden words froze the smile on her face.    

She stared blankly at the gentle middle-aged man in front of her. He was the one who understood her the best!    

Who would she choose?    

There was no need to ask.    

"Dad, you?"    

Luo Qiong did not avoid Luo Mengchang's gaze, but the guilt between his brows was getting thicker. "Sorry, Chang'er."    

"Is this a requirement from the Cang Family?" Luo Mengchang asked in a low voice.    

Luo Qiong nodded, his heart was full of complex feelings.    

More than ten years ago, when the matter of the Taixiao City changed, the Luo Family was chased out of the city by the Mu Family, escaping all the way to the Yueyong City in order to revive the family. The Luo Family was like a servant under someone else's roof.    

No one was in a position to blame Luo Qiong, not even Luo Mengchang, because she knew that Luo Qiong hadn't caused her any harm over the years.    

Back then, Luo Qiong chose to let go of his dignity to protect the family.    

Now, between happiness and family, how would Luo Mengchang choose?    

"Father, give me time, I will definitely personally seize back the Taixiao City." Luo Mengchang looked at him firmly and said.    

Luo Qiong clenched his hands into fists.    

How could he not know how talented his daughter was? He also knew that as long as he gave her time, the Luo family would not be worried.    

But at the same time, Cang Family also knew this.    

That was why the Cang Family had restricted her so quickly.    

After letting out a long sigh, Luo Qiong helplessly shook his head, "If you marry Cang Yuzhe, Cang Family will immediately help us restore our Taixiao City, seize back our Taixiao Sword, and fulfill your grandfather's lifelong wish."    

The Cang Family of the head of the eight great families was First-Class Force.    

With their strength, taking down Taixiao City wasn't difficult at all.    

"And if I don't?" Luo Mengchang frowned slightly as she asked softly.    

"If you are unwilling, the Cang Family will reclaim all of the Luo Family's property and expel us from the Yueyong City."    

"What?"    

Luo Mengchang's expression changed. She clenched her jade-like hands so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She never thought that Cang Family would actually use such a condition as a threat.    

Confiscating all of the Luo Family's wealth meant that there would be nothing left in the entire family.    

Moreover, it was even more difficult than when he was escaping from the Taixiao City.    

There were close to a thousand people in the Luo Family. If they were displaced, what would they rely on to maintain their basic survival?    

Especially once she found out that the Luo Family had lost their Cang Family, which was a protective umbrella, there was a high chance that they would come to add insult to injury.    

In between, the gigantic Hundred Nation Prefecture didn't even have a place to shelter the Luo Family.    

This also meant that the hardships of the past ten years would all go down the drain.    

Most importantly, with the way Cang Family did not achieve their goals without stopping, it was hard to imagine what kind of method would be used to restrict Luo Mengchang's growth in the future.    

Fate's wheel seemed to be spinning rapidly.    

Luo Mengchang was at a loss.    

She wasn't a selfish person, from the fact that she treated Chu Hen well, Luo Mengchang could tell. Even though Chu Hen had already obtained a Spiritual Heaven Sigil, Luo Mengchang still gave it to him willingly.    

However, this was often the most difficult choice to make.    

After a long period of silence, Luo Mengchang slowly raised her head. Her long eyelashes gently fluttered.    

"I want to say goodbye to him."    

Luo Qiong's calm voice was a bit pale, and he felt a pain in his heart. Then, he nodded slightly.    

The sound of light footsteps lit up Chu Hen's eyes, who was waiting anxiously.    

Everyone's eyes turned towards the source of the voice. They saw Luo Mengchang and Luo Qiong, father and daughter, walking over one after the other.    

"Mengchang." Chu Hen immediately went up to welcome him.    

Luo Mengchang smiled gently and said, "What's the matter? You've missed me so much after not seeing me for so long!"    

Seeing her expression, the depression in Chu Hen's heart immediately dissipated.    

On the other side, Cang Yuanzhe sneered and looked at Luo Qiong with interest, "Patriarch Luo, how is the conversation going?"    

There wasn't the slightest bit of respect in those frivolous words.    

Even though the Luo Family was one of the eight great families in the Yueyong City, in the eyes of those in the Cang Family, the Luo Family was nothing more than a servant with no standing whatsoever.    

Luo Qiong didn't say anything. He just looked at Luo Mengchang and Chu Hen with a complicated expression.    

"Dad, wait here for a moment."    

"Alright." Luo Qiong answered.    

With that, Luo Mengchang pulled Chu Hen's hand and walked away.    

The stream gurgled, and the river flowed.    

A lively stream flowed through the valley, with flowers and grass blooming beside it. A single butterfly hopped through the bushes, as if searching for its lost companion.    

On a long stone slab on the shore, the two of them sat next to each other.    

Luo Mengchang leaned her head on Chu Hen's shoulder. Her right hand was interlocked with Chu Hen's palm, while her left hand was facing the sky. Under the sunlight, her long white fingers were as beautiful as jade.    

Luo Mengchang just quietly waved her small hand, like a naughty girl next door.    

"Didn't you have something to say to me? Why are you only interested in playing by yourself? " Chu Hen smiled gently.    

Luo Mengchang put down her left hand and moved her head away from Chu Hen's shoulder.    

Chu Hen turned his head to look at the other party, and in his dark eyes, he could see the other party's beautiful face.    

"Then, about that …" Luo Mengchang bit her red lips and said softly, "I think I won't be able to go sightseeing with you. I need to regain my Yueyong City."    

"What are you doing back home? Is there something at home?"    

"En!"    

"Then I'll go back with you."    

"No need," Luo Mengchang shook her head. "You go first, I'll go first."    

Chu Hen didn't understand what she meant at all. At the same time, he felt a little uneasy. He stared at Luo Mengchang's averted eyes.    

"What happened?"    

Chu Hen frowned slightly as his eyes lit up.    

Luo Mengchang's gaze couldn't bear to take another glance. Her red lips parted slightly as she said, "I'm going to get married!"
