"Chapter 248: A martial arts competition for marriage? What an archaic term."

"Senior has misunderstood. Jiang Huihui and I have never even met, so how could I be dissatisfied with her? I just feel that this marriage is too absurd."

Chen Xuan gently shook his head. "Besides, I already have someone I like."

"This was decided between your Shifu and me!"

Jiang Sheng let out a cold snort. "Your Shifu is gone, so I am your Elder!"

Xu Mu was secretly startled on the side, wondering if Jiang Sheng was just putting on an act.

If it was true, then this time, it really wouldn't be easy for Chen Xuan to call off this engagement.

"Senior, I think we should call Huihui out. It would be better for the people involved to talk it over."

Xu Mu said with a smile from the side.

"Dad! What he said is right. Let Huihui out."

Zhou Shui also nodded along.

Hearing this, Jiang Sheng turned around and waved at the distant building.

Bang!

The building at the height suddenly erupted with a colorful glow.

Xu Mu looked up into the distance. Barring any accidents, it should be a Formation.

This Jiang Sheng was indeed not a simple figure.

The door of the distant building was pushed open. After Jiang Huihui walked out, she saw Xu Mu over here.

She immediately leaped over here, and after a few consecutive bounds, she landed beside Xu Mu.

She didn't expect Xu Mu to arrive so quickly.

【Favorability + 20】

"Huihui, this Chen Xuan is your fiancé, but he came today to call off the engagement."

Jiang Sheng stood with his hands behind his back and asked with a calm expression, "What are your thoughts?"

"Call off the engagement? Of course I agree!"

Jiang Huihui looked at Chen Xuan on the side.

She hadn't expected Xu Mu to find her fiancé whom she had never met before. Previously, she had thought that Xu Mu himself was coming to propose.

【Favorability + 10】

"Senior, since she shares the same thought, you shouldn't insist anymore."

Chen Xuan said to Jiang Sheng, "If we are truly forced together, we won't be happy."

At this time, Jiang Sheng glanced at Jiang Xingjun. "What is your view on this?"

"I've said it so many times before. I listen to Huihui."

Even facing his father, Jiang Xingjun still didn't show the slightest expression.

"Sigh, in the end, I've turned out to be the bad guy."

Jiang Sheng sat on a small stool in the distance and took out the tobacco pouch tucked behind his large shorts.

He took out cut tobacco from the round box in his pocket and let out a deep sigh.

"Dad! What is wrong with you? Why do you keep insisting? The other party isn't willing either; is there any meaning in you persisting?"

Zhou Shui asked the doubt in her heart.

In the past, she didn't know Chen Xuan's intentions, but now that people had come to their home to call off the engagement, she still wanted to marry him.

Did he really have to marry off his own daughter?

"The events that happened back then led to a decline in talent within the Jiang Family, and Huihui is being coveted by many people."

Jiang Sheng took a few deep puffs from his tobacco pouch and knocked out the ash. "Previously, when facing marriage proposals from those people, I always had an excuse—that Huihui was already betrothed. Chen Xuan's Shifu is also quite renowned, so everyone would give some face."

Hearing this, Xu Mu and the others roughly guessed the reason behind it.

"Now that Chen Xuan is calling off the engagement and Huihui is single again, they will definitely swarm over."

Jiang Sheng continued, "There is one thing I am certain of: compared to the sons of those people, Chen Xuan is much better."

Of course, that wasn't the only reason.

Chen Xuan's Shifu was already dead, so marrying these two would be no different from joining the family as a resident son-in-law.

The Jiang Family would also gain another young Genius.

"Old man! I just don't understand, what does my being single have to do with them?"

Jiang Huihui stuffed her hands into her trouser pockets and looked coldly at Jiang Sheng.

"Sigh, what a sin."

Jiang Sheng sighed, pinched a bit more cut tobacco with his hand, and stuffed it into the tobacco pouch. "Xingjun, you tell them."

At this moment, several people turned their heads to look at Jiang Xingjun, who was standing straight aside.

Jiang Xingjun's eyes gazed into the distance, his tone calm. "I have an elder brother above me who did many wrong things back then and offended many people. In the end, the country and several Sects stepped forward to quell the matter."

Zhou Shui looked at Jiang Xingjun. She also knew that her husband had an elder brother.

Back when she and Jiang Xingjun got married, that person had even come to congratulate them.

Later, she also asked why his elder brother never came home, and Jiang Xingjun only said that his elder brother was dead.

"Sigh, this is human favor!"

Jiang Sheng stood up from the small stool. "If they hadn't stepped forward, our family would have been targeted by who knows how many experts, and we definitely wouldn't have had a moment of peace. Now that they've come to propose marriage, how do you expect me to refuse?"

Xu Mu stuffed his hands into his trouser pockets and listened quietly from the side.

He had guessed that Chen Xuan's engagement wouldn't be so easy to call off.

If he wasn't here and it was just Chen Xuan alone, perhaps this matter would have been laid to rest.

Jiang Huihui was also somewhat surprised, not expecting her family to have such a past.

Zhou Shui finally understood why her old man was so insistent.

Right at this moment, Chen Xuan spoke up. "Senior, you mean as long as there is an engagement, then let Brother Mu do it!"

"Ah?"

Xu Mu was somewhat surprised, not expecting Chen Xuan to be so direct.

"Brother Mu's medical skills are above mine, and he is also more handsome than me. Why don't you consider him."

Chen Xuan looked at Jiang Sheng and said.

Jiang Huihui immediately lowered her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Previously, she had a poised and unyielding expression, but this sudden change made several people in the Jiang Family notice.

"No."

Jiang Sheng gently shook his head. "I am very interested in Xu Mu, but unfortunately, his strength is not enough, and he will be targeted."

"Mainly because I already have a wife."

Xu Mu said with a calm expression.

He didn't even want to manage this matter anymore. He originally thought it would be very simple, but he didn't expect it to drag in the older generation.

"That's not the main point."

Jiang Sheng glanced at Xu Mu and said.

You must know that most of those interested in Jiang Huihui were disciples from various Sects.

People always judge others by their status. Knowing that the Jiang Family owed them favors, most of them wouldn't let a Genius marry Jiang Huihui.

Instead, they would let someone relatively mediocre marry her.

Of course, there were certainly Geniuses too, but most of those people already had wives.

Xu Mu was somewhat speechless; having a wife wasn't even the main point.

"Huihui! Don't blame Grandpa; I must make the decision for you regarding your affairs."

At this time, Jiang Sheng looked at Jiang Huihui. "I give you two choices. First, marry Chen Xuan. Second, if you don't want to be with Chen Xuan, then I have no choice but to hold a martial arts competition for marriage!"

Hearing this, Xu Mu couldn't help but sigh at how archaic the term was.

"What? A martial arts competition for marriage? I am not willing!"

Jiang Huihui rebuked angrily, "Old man! According to what you mean, if the winner is an old man, do I have to marry an old man?"

"That definitely won't happen. I will set an age bracket so you won't encounter an old man, but you might encounter an ugly one."

Jiang Sheng said somewhat awkwardly.

"Brother Mu, can we withdraw now?"

Chen Xuan wasn't close with Jiang Huihui anyway, and his purpose was to call off the engagement, which was now completed.

As for how the Jiang Family would choose afterwards, it had nothing to do with him either.

Xu Mu shook his head at Chen Xuan, then looked at Jiang Sheng. "I have something to say; please listen quietly, Senior."

At this time, Jiang Sheng glanced at Xu Mu. "What profound insights do you have?"

"A purely martial arts competition for marriage is not suitable for modern society. I hope Senior will conduct it from multiple aspects."

Xu Mu said with a smile, "Combat can take up the majority, but one's self-cultivation and other skills must also pass the test."

"I understand what you mean. Are you trying to say that besides combat, we should add some tests for self-cultivation like painting?"

Jiang Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Could this Xu Mu have taken a fancy to his granddaughter?
