Chen Feng had no intention of showing off or asserting dominance.

He never interfered in his children's marriage matters, as long as they truly loved each other.

In the world of cultivation, there shouldn't be so many rules.

Although there was a feeling of being a cabbage that he had raised for many years, only to be offered to a pig.

But, respect, understanding, and support.

These were the principles of a father. Even if his heart was free from any worries, he could still intervene if necessary.

When Chen Feng heard that he agreed, Wan Wuzai's expression brightened, and he hurriedly ran off to share the good news.

Afterwards, under Chen Feng's guidance, the two of them set a date, and Wan Wuzai officially married into the Chen family.

After a pleasant period of time, the agreed-upon time with the Xia family arrived.

The meeting place agreed upon by Chen Feng and the Xia family was located at the center of the straight line between the two families.

There, was a mortal town, which the Chen family had acquired early on and quickly built a restaurant at the meeting point.

The chef there was also brought in from Origin Spirit County.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xia Jiao."

"And the two young ladies."

A streak of light flashed across the sky and landed in front of Chen Feng and the others.

Seeing the arrival, it was indeed the three members of the Xia family.

"Chen Feng Fellow Daoist is indeed as talented as the rumors say."

Xia Jiao landed and immediately began to size up Chen Feng.

Her gaze first fell on Chen Feng's appearance, and there was indeed nothing to criticize about his appearance.

Among the men Xia Jiao had seen, there were hardly any who could compare to Chen Feng.

"Solid aura, strong physique, not bad." Xia Jiao nodded.

Behind her, Xia Xue'er and Xia Qiu'er were also curiously sizing up Chen Feng.

Looking at his gentle smile and unparalleled demeanor, Xia Xue'er exclaimed,

"This is different from what the rumors say, not as fierce..."

Seeing this, Xia Jiao signaled her daughter not to speak.

Chen Feng also looked at the two women and assessed their appearances, which were indeed impeccable.

One had a stable temperament, while the other was lively and vibrant.

Chen Feng smiled faintly, his face full of warmth. "Master Xia, and the two young ladies, please come this way."

"I have prepared the best dishes for you to taste, which are unique to my Chen's Restaurant and cannot be found elsewhere."

As Chen Feng led the group into the restaurant, he introduced,

"I have long heard of the delicious and exquisite signature dishes of Chen's Restaurant in Origin Spirit County, and now is the perfect opportunity to try them."

Xia Jiao nodded and followed Chen Feng to their seats.

They first chatted about trivial matters for a while.

Then, they got to the main topic.

"What do you think of the contents of that letter, Fellow Daoist Xia Jiao?"

Chen Feng looked at Xia Jiao with a serious expression, his eyes meeting hers.

Xia Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly in response to Chen Feng's unreserved gaze.

"What the letter says is indeed true, but how can I trust you? Others may be like raging beasts, but aren't you the same?"

"I am the same, but I am a person with principles. But Fellow Daoist Xia Jiao, if you don't choose this path, what will you do?"

The two of them exchanged words, their conversation intense and impassioned.

The mention of the letter puzzled the Xia sisters, leaving them as confused as two monks unable to comprehend.

"What letter?" Xia Qiu'er looked at her sister, realizing that their discussion revolved around a letter.

From the sound of it, it was related to cooperation and the matter of finding a son-in-law.

Xia Xue'er thought for a moment and shook her head. "It should be the one Chen family sent half a month ago. As for its contents, I don't know."

Xia Qiu'er remained silent, listening quietly to their discussion.

"The matter is settled. Our two families will form a life-and-death alliance. As for Qiu'er's situation, it depends on whether he is willing or not." Xia Jiao looked at Xia Qiu'er, and Chen Feng followed her gaze.

"Mother, what do you mean by 'willing or not'?" Xia Qiu'er was a bit confused, but she understood clearly the matter of the Chen and Xia families forming a life-and-death alliance.

Xia Jiao looked at her daughter, opened her mouth, but didn't know how to speak.

At this moment, Chen Feng noticed Xia's hesitation and spoke leisurely, "I have reached an agreement with your Xia family to form a life-and-death alliance, swearing not to betray each other. As a mediator, I need you or Miss Xue'er to marry me. Of course, I won't force you, nor do I have the courage to do so. If you are not satisfied after spending some time together, we can cancel this agreement."

Chen Feng's gentle gaze fell on Xia Qiu'er, who raised her head and asked, "How can I trust the reliability of this alliance?"

Chen Feng didn't expect Xia Qiu'er to ask this question.

He looked at Xia Qiu'er with some appreciation and said, "You have no other choice. You need a powerful ally without a deadly threat, and I am the same. We both seek what we need from each other."

"You, or Miss Xue'er, coming back to the Chen family with me is also to let you assess my reliability."

After hearing this, Xia Qiu'er frowned and looked at her mother, who nodded slightly.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go. Xue'er is still too young and easily deceived."

"Sister..." Xia Xue'er looked at her sister with a reluctant expression.

"Xue'er, didn't you hear what the head of the Chen family said? I'm only going for a while, and we won't be separated..." Xia Qiu'er comforted her sister.

Xia Jiao stared at Chen Feng and said in a deep voice, "I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise..."

Xia Jiao released her aura, a powerful aura of the later stage of Foundation Building, enveloping Chen Feng.

This was her way of showing dominance and warning Chen Feng not to have any ulterior motives. The consequences of not keeping his promise would be dire.

However, Chen Feng remained unfazed and smiled calmly, "Fellow Daoist Xia Jiao, rest assured. My motto is to treat the world with credibility. Without trust, one cannot survive. I won't let my beloved suffer the slightest grievance."

Seeing that Chen Feng was unaffected and could calmly respond under her pressure, Xia Jiao nodded inwardly.

However, she also felt a sense of crisis. Chen Feng, who was only in the early stage of Foundation Building, had such courage. What would happen when he grew stronger? Would the Xia family be led by the nose?

After her worries, she also had concerns as she lovingly looked at her two daughters.

If she could advance to the Gold Core stage, then all problems would be solved.

If not, Chen Feng might be the last guarantee for her two children.

She had always believed in her own judgment, and Chen Feng's character was at least not too bad.

Moreover, his abilities were not weak. He had established a family in a much shorter time than her Xia family.

And the starting point was different. Her family started from the Foundation Building stage, while Chen Feng started as an ordinary person.

In just a few decades, he had already built a considerable family and was still rapidly growing.

His potential was undoubtedly significant. As long as Chen Feng didn't die, it was only a matter of time before he dominated Origin Spirit County.

This was also one of the reasons why Xia Jiao agreed to the Chen family.
