Chapter 330: Competition?
Then several plans began to form in his mind, the best one was to use the two cultivators of the peak stage to deal with him, but then Jayden cut his line of thought, as he said:
” Tell me about your proposal. ” Xiao Rong had a big smile on her face since the moment she saw him enter, she had been in a bad mood earlier since her awaited date had been ruined by this fish faced man, who seemed to look down on everyone.
Dong seemed irritated by Jayden’s tone, but since he needed to be polite he still gave him an answer.
” I’m here to propose a marriage between the king and Xiao Rong, if Lao Rong wants she can come with her daughter she came even chose to become the concubine of the king, if you accept now then we will give the things we have brought as a gift by the king. Also, we are ready to fulfil if you have any wishes. ”
Dong said he believed that just the aspect of obtaining these gifts is attractive enough not to mention the position of queen and the concubine.
“…”
Jayden stayed silent for a few seconds, then he asked: ” And what if we want to refuse? ”
Dong immediately furrowed his brows as he heard Jayden’s words, controlling his anger he replied through gritted teeth: ” This is a matter of grave importance for not only the king but for this entire Kingdom itself, so I would like to advise you to give more thought to this, since the king don’t like refusals. Also, this matter isn’t related to you, let ms Lao Rong make the decision. ”
It was obvious that he wanted to force this marriage on them, especially now that he believed these two women to be alone, he was sure they would sooner or later give up and accept their proposal either by the rewards or by force.
” Hmmm, since that’s the case then you can go back for now, we need some time to think about this matter. ”
Jayden said painfully plainly, but it sounded quite rude to Dong.
He was now sitting at the corner of his seat ready to thrash out at Jayden at any moment, but his task was stopping him from killing Jayden, forcing a smile he said: ” It would be better if you give me an answer right now, since it is very urgent and concerns the entire Kingdom. ” As he spoke the two men standing behind him released their pressure on Jayden, trying to intimidate him.
“…”
Jayden didn’t even flinch as he just stared at Dong while deep in thought, which the two peak stage guards took as his fear and called back their auras.
‘ Fighting the king’s army right now isn’t worth it, he must have more than just two peak rank cultivators if he can send these two here, I need more time to prepare. ‘
Jayden thought and pondered in his mind to find ways to send the three men back, for now, all the eyes were on him currently.
Then he stood up and gestured for both of the women to follow him out of the room, all three of them walked out, leaving the three men inside.
” What should we do? ”
Xiao Rong asked anxiously, as soon as they went outside Jayden first covered themselves with a sound concealment array then he began to speak:
” I have an idea to send these men back for now, but it would be just postponing this problem, though it would be easier to deal with it all later. ”
They listened attentively, and then Lao Rong asked: ” By any chance do you want us to agree to their proposal for now? ” She came to that conclusion after listening to Jayden’s words.
Shaking his head, he spoke: ” Order your servant to announce something for me. ” Heaving a sigh of relief, Lao Rong asks:
” Okay, just tell me what do we have to do? ”
” Tell them to immediately announce everywhere inside and outside this sect that two months later from now we are going to hold a competition here and the winner of it will become the husband of the number one disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, Xiao Rong. Also, you can set up a suitable age limit for that. ”
Both the women were stunned by these words, they looked at Jayden with questioning gazes.
” Do it now, what’s so confusing about it? ” He asked when Lao Rong didn’t move, she looked at her daughter with the same questioning eyes.
Xiao composed herself, she believed in Jayden to the point that she was sure that no one would be able to defeat him, she nodded towards her mother and spoke:
” I think this is the only solution for now. ”
Lao Rong nodded, although she wasn’t sure about the extent of Jayden’s strength but she believed in her daughter, so she immediately began to order her servants to announce this news in the sect, everyone knew about Xiao Rong so there was no need to tell anyone about her beauty. When Lao Rong went away, Jayden took Xiao’s hand and spoke gently:
” Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone near you. ” Xiao smiled, and after glancing around she gave him a tight hug.
” Thank you, husband. ” She said with a giggle, though her tone was low.
After a few minutes, Lao Rong returned after finishing her task, with a smile she spoke: ” I have told all of the servants in the house to announce about the marriage competition everywhere. We will even use the Voice Tower to announce it in a short while. ”
Voice Towers are used to make announcements inside the sect after obtaining permission from any of the elders, using them will make it very easy to spread the news faster.
” Good, now let’s send these old men back, I’m sure their faces will turn ugly after hearing about it. ” Jayden said with a laugh, both the women also relaxed, just before his appearance the envoy of the king was pressuring them to accept the proposal to no end, but everything seemed fine now.
When they walked inside, Dong was sipping tea while waiting for them, placing the cup down he asked: ” So what is your decision? Just be aware that the right choices are awarded in life while if you make the wrong choice life becomes difficult. ”
His meaning was clear, it was not a proposal it was just an order from the king to send Xiao Rong to marry him.
” No one knows what the future holds for any of us, so why don’t we just let the time make the decision? ” Jayden said with an emotion less face after sitting down.
Dong tilted his face, he glanced between Jayden and Lao Rong wondering why Jayden is the one making the decision for her, then he asks: ” What do you mean by that? ”
” Xiao is so beautiful, talented, kind hearted, young, etc etc, she has so many qualities so I don’t think any average guy deserves her. ”
Jayden said while pointing at the breathtakingly beautiful girl sitting beside him. Dong frowned, since by that sentence Jayden was indirectly insulting the king.
