Long Wu also fell silent. Although he didn't interact much with Chen Ping, he still understood his character somewhat. If they truly encountered danger, Chen Ping would never put his girlfriend's life at risk to save himself.
“One step at a time. The young master started too late, he can only have the capital to compete with the Dragon Family by obtaining the Ice Dragon and Flame Dragon's dragon crystals...”
Long Wu spoke heavily.
The old man slowly turned his gaze to the giggling girls, sighing helplessly.
………………
The village is celebrating today as Xia Chao from Tian Wu Gate comes to marry Xiao Lan. Many wedding processions from Tian Wu Gate have already arrived at the entrance of the village.
At this moment, Xiaolan was meticulously dressing herself in her room, her eyes harboring a hint of resentment as she looked at Chen Ping beside her.
"Chen Ping, what do you mean? Are you really going to marry me off to Xia Chao?"
Although today is her wedding day, there is not a hint of happiness on Xiaolan's face.
Over the past few days, Xiaolan has developed true feelings for Chen Ping. Although she knows Chen Ping already has a girlfriend, Xiaolan doesn't mind at all.
"I didn't say it before, I just went through the motions. Once we get into Tianwu Gate, I won't really let Xia Chao hurt you..."
Chen Ping explained.
"Remember this, I'm doing this to help you. If Xia Chao attacks me and you don't stop him, I will commit suicide. Even as a ghost, I won't let you off the hook..."
Xiaolan said reluctantly.
"Rest assured, if my guess is right, that Xia Chao probably doesn't even have the capabilities of a man. The reason he wants to marry you is because he has other plans..."
Chen Ping smiled calmly.
At first glance, Chen Ping noticed something amiss in Xia Chao's aura. Although Xia Chao possessed the strength of a Grandmaster, his aura carried an effeminate quality, lacking the masculine vigor one would expect. This led Chen Ping to suspect that Xia Chao practiced dark arts, potentially diminishing his male capabilities.

The reason he wanted to marry Xiaolan was because he had coveted Xiaolan's naturally alluring body. He planned to use dark magic to absorb the essence from her body, helping him in his cultivation.
This summer, Chao must have absorbed a lot of women's energy, which has greatly increased his strength. However, it has also made the aura around him more feminine and subtle.

"Miss Xiaolan, Xia Chao of the Tianwu Sect is already waiting at the gate..."
Dali tou said.
"Well, I'll be out in a moment..."
Xiaolan nodded, glanced at Chen Ping once more, and placed the red veil over her head. Led by Dali Tou, she walked out of the room.
Five guardians escorted Xiaolan, and dozens of Miao village members followed behind them.
Chen Ping mingled among the members of these Miao villages.
By the time they reached the village gate, Xia Chao was already waiting there, clad in red robes and astride a fine steed.
Seeing Xiaolan appear in a red dress and covered by a red veil, Xia Chao's lips curled into a smile, secretly pleased.
But after looking around, Xia Chao didn't see Miao Wang's figure, so he frowned and said to Dali Tou: "Where is your Miao Wang?"
"Young Master Xia, King Miao hasn't come out yet. As you know, he has spent twenty years raising Miss Xiaolan. Now that Miss Xiaolan is getting married, King Miao is heartbroken and crying in his room..."
Dali said calmly.
"I can't tell that Wang is so temperamental..." Xia Chao smiled, "Our two families are so close, we can just let Xiao Lan come back often to visit."
After Xia Chao finished speaking, he waved his hand. Immediately, a Tianwu Sect member brought over a sedan chair and helped Xiao Lan into it.
Soon, the welcoming procession set off for Tianwumen, with five tribal elders and dozens of members of the Miao village as relatives.
