BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2546: Ice Flame Continent 3
Considering Kang Shi’s youth at 18, there was still room for improvement in the future. In the past, he had excelled in cultivation, but now faced a bottleneck. Overcoming it would restore everything.
Furthermore…
If the True Martial Race remained unwilling, there was the option of letting Kang Shi follow the youngest daughter of the True Martial Race’s Clan Leader back to their clan. At present, lacking a marriage contract with the True Martial Race made survival in the clan challenging.
Gu Chaoyan nodded in understanding.
Kang Shi’s father wished to preserve the engagement, and she committed to following his guidance.
Looking ahead, there was a long journey. Kang Shi could gradually showcase his strength and help eliminate some detrimental elements in the clan, improving his life over time.
For now, he would suppress his frustration.
Accompanied by the Clan Leader, Kang Shi proceeded to the meeting place.
As expected, the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race arrived with his youngest daughter. The recent clan competition, focusing on Kang Shi’s cultivation, seemed to have prompted their visit.
Upon spotting them, the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race expressed his displeasure by snorting and looking away, showing no intention of standing up. The air was tense, hinting at the underlying challenges Kang Shi faced.
“Brother, why are you here today?” Kang Li asked with a smile, as if greeting his in-laws.
Despite Kang Li’s amiable expression, the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race showed no courtesy.
“You still have the cheek to ask?” the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race retorted angrily. “Last year, you assured me that Kang Shi’s cultivation would definitely improve. Your clan held a competition yesterday, right? Did your son, Kang Shi, make any progress? He’s the weakest in your Anicca Race!”
“What’s my daughter’s cultivation level now? Compare it to Kang Shi’s.”
“Kang Li, don’t feign ignorance. Your son, Kang Shi, is not suitable for my daughter, Ziluo. Cancel this marriage.”
“Don’t hold any hope. Your son, Kang Shi, is already 18 years old. At this age, he’s only at the 6th level of the Martial King Realm. His life is set. If he knows his place, he’ll try. It would be a sin to ruin my daughter’s happiness,” the Patriarch of the True Martial Race stated angrily.
“You initiated this marriage. It hasn’t been that long. Besides, Shi’er has only recently encountered a bottleneck. Once he overcomes it, everything will be fine. Give Shi’er more time; he won’t disappoint you,” Kang Li pleaded.
“I can’t wait any longer. I’ve decided to engage Ziluo to Kangyan. Don’t resist. You’re just afraid your son will be useless and have no status in the future. I assure you, after Ziluo and Kangyan marry, she will take care of Kangshi.”
“As for the rest, forget it.”
“How can this be? Shi’er and Ziluo’s engagement still stands. He’s not unworthy. With time, he’ll prove himself.”
