"What, what?" Gu Changsheng was stunned when he heard this.

He even felt like he was hallucinating!

"I said, I will betroth Qinghan to you," Huo Qianzhong said.

Looking at his expression, Huo Qianzhong appeared serious, without any signs of joking.

"Father-in-law, are you serious?" Gu Changsheng asked cautiously.

Huo Qianzhong nodded, "Of course I am serious."

"Changsheng, let me ask you, how do you think the final outcome of the battle between us and the Bai family will be?"

Gu Changsheng shook his head, "I don't know the situation either."

Huo Qianzhong sighed softly, "We are destined to lose."

"What?" Gu Changsheng frowned, "Why would you say that, Father-in-law? The power gap between the Bai family and the Huo family is not that big. Why would you say such things? Is it because of the Huo family's ancestor..."

"No," Huo Qianzhong shook his head, "The ancestor is just one aspect. Even if the ancestor falls, the Bai family cannot really do anything to us, at most they can occupy some of our territory. If it's just some territory, if they want it, they can have it. I don't want our family to be dragged into a life-and-death battle. It's just a pity that the Bai family wants our entire Huo family!"

"And do you know why the Bai family dares to do this? Because they have a formidable force behind them!"

Gu Changsheng furrowed his brows, "Is it... the Wu Kingdom behind the Bai family?"

"The Wu Kingdom? The entire Wu Kingdom is nothing in their eyes!"

"The Wu Kingdom, nothing?" Gu Changsheng was slightly shocked, "Could it be... the Da Ji Dynasty?"

Huo Qianzhong glanced at Gu Changsheng, "You actually know about the Da Ji Dynasty? You guessed it right, yes, it's the Da Ji Dynasty! The people behind the Bai family are from the Da Ji Dynasty!"

"The Da Ji Dynasty's Bai family?" Ji Wenxiang's voice appeared in Gu Changsheng's mind, "I don't know which Bai family this is, but if it's the one I know, they are a fairly powerful cultivation clan. The strongest in their clan is at the Nascent Soul stage."

"A Nascent Soul cultivator?" Gu Changsheng took a sharp breath.

For him, cultivators at this level were like gods.

A Nascent Soul cultivator could easily wipe out the entire Wu Kingdom with a wave of their hand!

"Is the force behind the Bai family really that terrifying? What should we do?" Gu Changsheng furrowed his brows.

Regardless of whether the Bai family had Nascent Soul cultivators or not, as long as they were a clan from the Da Ji Dynasty, they were not something they could contend with.

"I suggest finding an opportunity to escape," Ji Wenxiang said.

Seeing Gu Changsheng's serious expression, Huo Qianzhong sighed, "Yes, you also understand the seriousness of the situation now. Even if the Bai family from the Da Ji Dynasty won't directly intervene, they still pose a great challenge to us. If they were to send a Foundation Building peak cultivator, we would be defenseless."

"This is what I think. The situation is not favorable for us, but I cannot surrender with the clan. A future of life and death battle is inevitable. It doesn't matter if we die, but I don't want Qinghan and the others to die too! So, if the clan is on the verge of destruction, you take Qinghan and leave! As long as there are still surviving members of the Huo family, the clan is not considered destroyed!"

"Changsheng, I don't have any other requests, but there is one thing you must promise me. If you have a son with spiritual roots in the future, I hope you can let him bear the Huo surname."

"It's too early to talk about this now. I think if the Bai family is really that strong, they would have already come to destroy us," Huo Qianzhong smiled, "But what I said is serious. I can betroth Qinghan to you, but whether Qinghan agrees or not, I don't know. As long as you can get Qinghan's agreement, I will immediately arrange for your marriage!"

Gu Changsheng nodded, "You said it, Father-in-law. Don't worry, I will make sure you can attend our wedding again soon."

"Hahaha, I am looking forward to that day," Huo Qianzhong said, "Alright, Yun should be waiting for you. Go back quickly. We will handle the matters of the clan. As for the reward... don't worry, I will find something good to give you."

"I don't want something good, I just want Huo Qinghan and Li Pan'er," Gu Changsheng thought to himself.

Gu Changsheng nodded, "Okay, thank you, Father-in-law."

Huo Qianzhong said, "It is I who should be thanking you."

...

"Why haven't the Bai family returned yet?"

"They must be enjoying killing the Huo family. They haven't finished killing them yet."

"I wonder what expression the Huo family will have when they see the 'gift' we prepared for them."

"Haha, they would never expect that the undercover agent we cultivated for years would actually be turned by us."

"Hmph, even if this mission is over, that person must die! How dare they become an undercover agent for the Bai family."

In the Bai family's meeting hall, a group of elders were chatting and laughing. In front of them, there was a young woman with an exquisite appearance, her eyes closed as she cultivated.

"Report!!!"

Suddenly, a Bai family disciple rushed in.

Seeing this, some of the Bai family elders felt a sense of unease, as if something bad was about to happen.

"What's wrong?"

"Report to the clan leader, our spiritual stone vein... has been destroyed!!!"

"What!!!"

"Huh???"

The elders of the Bai family in the audience were all shocked.

"What the hell are you saying!!!" One of the Bai family elders angrily grabbed the Bai family disciple by the neck, his expression furious. "Say it again!!!"

"Our spiritual stone vein... has been destroyed..."

"Damn it!!!"

"What exactly happened?"

"Did the Bai family members die? How could the vein be destroyed?"

"Shut up." A young woman walked over calmly. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

The Bai family disciple remained silent, his voice trembling. "When we went to investigate, we found that the entire spiritual stone vein had been completely destroyed. Because the destruction was so severe, we couldn't figure out what exactly happened. However, we did find that there were likely many people inside the vein..."

"What about the Bai family members?" the young woman asked calmly.

"We didn't find any traces of them, but there were many signs of battle at the scene."

The young woman pondered for a moment. "Go, send someone to the Huo family to find out what happened, to see exactly what occurred. If nothing unexpected happened, the Bai family members should be at the Huo family."

"Miss, are you serious? The Bai family members went to the Huo family?"

"How is that possible? We have three Foundation Building cultivators with us. How could the Huo family possibly defeat us?"

"Yeah, how is that possible? The Huo family doesn't even know that they have infiltrators who have betrayed them. It's impossible for them to win."

"Could something have gone wrong? But what could have gone wrong? Could it be that there is a Qi Refining cultivator who destroyed the spiritual stone vein and then defeated the Bai family members? Haha, how is that possible?"

After a moment, a Bai family disciple hurriedly ran over.

"Report, news has come from the Huo family. Two Bai family members have been captured, Bai Xuan has been killed, and all the Bai family Qi Refining cultivators have died in the spiritual stone vein. And the mastermind behind all of this is... a cultivator named Gu Changsheng! He destroyed the spiritual stone vein, then cooperated with the Huo family elders to kill Bai Xuan, and finally injured the Bai family members, causing them to surrender to the Huo family."

"What!!!"

"Ah, it's Gu Changsheng again? How did he do it? Even with the cooperation of Foundation Building cultivators, it's impossible to kill Foundation Building cultivators!"

"This Gu Changsheng definitely has secrets!!!"

"Miss, what should we do?"

The group of Bai family elders all looked at the young woman who was leading them.

The young woman furrowed her brows slightly. "Gu Changsheng? It's a good name, and he's a remarkable person. Unfortunately, you have chosen to be my enemy."

"Prepare our forces and find an opportunity to attack the Huo family's market!"

"Yes!!!"

...

Looking at his own mansion, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but want to run over immediately.

"Husband!"

"Gu Lang!!!"

"Husband~~~"

"Changsheng."

At the entrance, four stunning women were already waiting for him.

Gu Changsheng rushed over in a single stride and embraced all of them. "Darlings, I missed you."

"Let's go inside and talk!"

[You have successfully cultivated with your wife 'Huo Huang'er', experience points for Wood Spiritual Root and Fire Spiritual Root +32, experience points for a Tier 1 Intermediate Talisman Master +32. Your wife's spiritual root has gained a slight improvement, and her spiritual energy has also slightly increased.]

Seeing the familiar Goldfinger reward, Gu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.

It was another good improvement.

It was not in vain that he had expended so much effort, fighting alongside them.

Suddenly, the Goldfinger displayed another line of text.

[Your wife has successfully conceived, receiving a reward...]
