Chapter 152: The marriage is really happening
! Wow!
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience. All the disciples of the sect were whispering to each other, their faces filled with shock and joy.
"How could it be that our sect has formed an alliance with the Star Luo Empire?"
"What's so strange about this? Don't forget, before we closed our sect, we supported the Star Luo Empire."
"That's different. Before, we secretly supported the Star Luo Empire. If the Star Luo Empire grew bigger, we would benefit as well. But if the Star Luo Empire declined and was attacked by the Heaven Dou Empire or the Spirit Hall, we could distance ourselves from the Star Luo Empire and not suffer any loss.
But now, we have formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Star Luo Empire. We are really grasshoppers tied to the same rope. If the Star Luo Empire is invaded, we, the Clear Sky Sect, cannot sit idly by."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Our sect is still too weak. In the past, we had four major clans with single attributes, but now we are the only ones left. The royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire is weak, so we can only choose to ally with the Star Luo Empire.
We need the Star Luo Empire to provide us with supplies and logistical support, and the Star Luo Empire needs our high-end combat power. This is a win-win deal!"
"And you heard it, right? That old man and the old woman are both Titled Douluo, equally powerful as the elders. Together with our Clear Sky Sect, we have eight Titled Douluo, a strength second only to the Spirit Hall."
"..."
The audience was filled with a constant chatter, and Tang Xiao took in every murmur of the sect disciples' conversations. Hearing the vibrant expressions and passionate eyes of each member, Tang Xiao's lips curled slightly, his pride unwavering. This was his ideal of the Clear Sky Sect!
Watching this scene, Tang Xiao slowly walked off the stage. He couldn't bring himself to say the words, "To betroth his sister to another man..."
Fortunately, the five elders understood and didn't force him to publicly announce the matter. After Tang Xiao and Dai Tianxing left the stage, the Second Elder slowly stepped onto the stage and spoke solemnly.
"Besides that, I have one more announcement to make. To deepen our cooperation with the Star Luo Empire, after consultation among our elders, the Sect Master, and the White Tiger Douluo couple,
we have decided to betroth Miss Tang Yuehua, the eldest daughter of the Clear Sky Sect, to Dai Weis, the Crown Prince of Star Luo. When the time is right, they will officially marry!"
The so-called right time means when Zhu Zhuqing turns eighteen. At that time, Tang Yuehua will marry Dai Weis, along with her sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing.
After all, Tang Yuehua is a latecomer and cannot upstage the two Crown Princesses.
Wow!
The disciples erupted in shock as soon as these words were spoken.
They looked at each other in bewilderment. Miss Tang Yuehua was getting married. Just as shocked was the groom, Dai Weis himself. His eyes widened, filled with confusion and bewilderment.
"No, why didn't anyone discuss this with me in advance?"
"Ugh..."
Suddenly, Dai Weis felt a sharp pain in his lower back. He turned his head and saw Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing with murderous expressions. Zhu Zhuyun rolled her eyes and secretly used her spirit power to transmit a message.
"Look, look, what did I say? Sister Yuehua is interested in you!"
"Well, Zhuyun, Zhuqing, if I say I just found out about this... do you believe me?"
"Guess?" The two sisters rolled their eyes at the same time.
"I'm just a kid, and I'm guessing?"
Ignoring the two women, Dai Weis turned his gaze to Tang Yuehua. As expected, Tang Yuehua blushed, and upon seeing Dai Weis' gaze, she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
An old man taking advantage of a young woman, and having it publicly called out, was truly humiliating.
"Sister Yuehua, what's going on?" Dai Weis asked using his Spirit power. Tang Yuehua, however, bowed her head shyly like a little girl, saying nothing.
Dai Weis was helpless, and just as he was about to stand up, he was about to question the Second Elder about such a haphazard matchmaking. Why hadn't anyone consulted him about such a big deal?
But just as he was about to move, his grandfather, Dai Tianxing's voice, suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Weis, sit down! Last night, the five elders of the Clear Sky Sect discussed this matter with us. They said that girl had a crush on you, so we agreed to the marriage!"
"But Grandpa, I already have..." Dai Weis was about to object, but Dai Tianxing ruthlessly interrupted him.
"I know you already have Zhuyun and Zhuqing, but you are the Crown Prince of Star Luo, and you have to act in the interests of the Star Luo Empire.
Marrying into the Clear Sky Sect is in the interests of the Star Luo Empire. As long as the offspring you give birth to can awaken the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit, we will have the opportunity to take over the Clear Sky Sect in the future.
Even if the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit is not awakened, marrying into the Clear Sky Sect can deepen our cooperation with the Clear Sky Sect. Besides, I see that the girl is also graceful and beautiful. She is the jewel in the crown of the old leader of the Clear Sky Sect and has a good impression of you. You are considered a good match. What else are you dissatisfied with?
As for age, is that a problem? If the girl is three years older than you, she will hold gold bricks. If the girl is fifteen years older than you, she will hold five gold bricks. As long as the girl doesn't say it, who will know that she is already in her thirties?"
"..."
Dai Weis was speechless. What else could he do? He just took over this overwhelming wealth.
"Marrying Sister Yuehua would make me Tang San's uncle, wouldn't that be a good idea? From now on, even that little jerk would have to call me uncle! Even if I slap him, he'd have to take it."
Dai Weis wasn't opposed to marrying Tang Yuehua. After all, who could resist a fair-skinned, beautiful, and wealthy woman? Besides, Tang Yuehua wasn't even forty, not old. He just felt a little sorry for Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing.
Thinking of them, Dai Weis held their soft hands tightly, assuring them, "I won't leave you."
Zhu Zhuqing wasn't particularly opposed, as she was a newcomer and could empathize with Tang Yuehua's feelings. It was just that it was hard on Zhu Zhuyun, the first wife.
However, as the future Empress of Star Luo, Zhu Zhuyun was open-minded. As long as it benefited Dai Weis and the Star Luo Empire, she wouldn't refuse.
Besides, with Tang Yuehua sharing Dai Weis's energy, she could sleep soundly at night.
...
Amidst roaring cheers, the blood oath ceremony concluded successfully, and Tang Xiao began preparing to unseal the Clear Sky Sect.
The first step was to strengthen the Clear Sky Sect's defenses. Otherwise, if the Spirit Hall attacked and caught the Clear Sky Sect off guard, that would be disastrous.
On the way back, Dai Weis, Tang Yuehua, and the sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing were all visibly embarrassed. Tang Yuehua, in particular, was so humiliated and angry that she wished she could crawl into a hole.
Finally, it was Dai Weis, her husband, who took the initiative and opened the conversation. He took Tang Yuehua's hand and asked with concern, "Sister Yuehua, today... you were also scared, weren't you?"
He had originally wanted to call her "wife," but considering Tang Yuehua's shyness, calling her "wife" would only embarrass her to death, so he simply continued to call her "Sister Yuehua."
