I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God

Chapter 1541: An Eye for an Eye 02

Arriving at the entrance of the Situ Manor, Yi Feng didn't say a word and barged right in, bringing Cang Sheng along.

The guards of the Situ Manor were about to step forward to stop them.

But they found themselves blocked by an invisible barrier, completely unable to get close to Cang Sheng and Yi Feng.

Everyone turned pale with fright.

In just a moment.

Yi Feng and Cang Sheng arrived in the main hall of the Situ Manor.

The hall was decorated in a quaint and elegant style.

The tables and chairs were all made of yellow rosewood, and ink wash paintings of plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums hung on the left and right walls.

Sandalwood incense curled upward, and green plants and flowers were scattered about, creating a rather serene atmosphere.

Sitting upright in the seat of honor was the head of the Situ family, Situ Taili.

He glared at the intruders with burning eyes and questioned them condescendingly, Who are you, and why are you forcefully trespassing into my Situ family?!

Yi Feng, dressed in white robes as pure as snow, stood proudly in the hall with his hands behind his back.

I am Cang Sheng's family. I am here to propose marriage to Miss Situ Qingyi on his behalf.

Yi Feng's tone was indifferent as he coldly looked at the arrogant Situ Taili.

Hearing Big Brother Yi Feng's words, a feeling of deep gratitude welled up in Cang Sheng's heart.

It had been a long time since he had felt what it was like to have someone backing him up.

His emotion and resentment turned into tears that welled up in his eyes, but he forced them back.

He just looked at Situ Taili resentfully, falling into a state of apprehension.

Cang Sheng was unwilling to accept the Situ family head humiliating him, trampling on him, and even having people beat him up.

But at the same time, he wanted to get Situ Taili's approval and have him agree to marry his daughter, Situ Qingyi, to him.

This mindset was contradictory, but it was the most genuine state of many sons-in-law when meeting their fathers-in-law for the first time.

He didn't know what Big Brother Yi Feng was going to do.

He was afraid that Big Brother Yi Feng would take things too far and incur a siege from the Situ family.

He was even more afraid that Situ Taili would hold a grudge against him because of this.

Then it would be as hard as ascending to the heavens for him to be with Qingyi again.

It was a dilemma.

But now, Cang Sheng could only wait and see how things played out.

Situ Taili looked at Yi Feng and sneered, Propose marriage? What betrothal gifts do you have that give you the nerve to barge into my Situ family to propose? Can you afford a proposal? Is this brat even worthy of my daughter?!

Situ Taili valued his beloved daughter very much.

As a parent, he couldn't watch his daughter marry a poor orphan like this.

A poor couple faces endless struggles.

Having lived to his age and experienced so many storms, Situ Taili naturally understood this truth very well.

Even though the Situ family could afford to support Cang Sheng and Situ Qingyi.

But Situ Taili didn't want a useless live-in son-in-law.

He just felt that Situ Qingyi was acting on impulse and had fallen into the trap of love.

He didn't blame his daughter; after all, Situ Qingyi was still young and easily deceived by sweet words.

But while Cang Sheng could coax his daughter, he couldn't fool him, Situ Taili.

Situ Taili would never helplessly watch his daughter jump into Cang Sheng's fiery pit.

His son-in-law had to be someone with real abilities, capable of protecting his daughter.

Just then.

Situ Qingyi, wearing a yellow gauze dress, rushed over upon hearing the news.

She glanced at Big Brother Yi Feng and Cang Sheng standing in the hall, and ran forward to beg her father not to harm them.

At this time.

Situ Taili became even more surprised.

He saw that the guards seemed to be blocked outside the main hall, unable to enter.

Yet his daughter was able to run in without any hindrance.

He raised his hand to signal Situ Qingyi to stay quiet, and looked at Yi Feng with a solemn expression.

Yi Feng remained expressionless.

He felt no emotional waves regarding Situ Taili's harsh words.

He simply and calmly took out ten pills from his spatial ring.

With a wave of Yi Feng's sleeve, the pills landed on the table beside Situ Taili.

Yi Feng asked coldly, Are these ten pills enough?

Situ Taili looked at the pills and was instantly dumbfounded.

He had never heard of, let alone seen, such pills before.

With his cultivation base, he could easily tell from the pills' quality and rich medicinal fragrance that these were ten supreme-grade grand pills.

As a merchant family, how could Situ Taili not know how precious such grand pills were?

Situ Taili never expected the visitor to be so extravagant.

For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

Ten pills are not enough?

Seeing that Situ Taili remained silent, Yi Feng's face turned cold, and he directly threw out ten weapons.

Clang, clatter...

These high-level weapons were thrown in front of Situ Taili by Yi Feng as if they were scrap iron.

Situ Taili's heart trembled violently, and his pupils shrank rapidly. What terrifying weapons.

Just the aura of these weapons made Situ Taili's heart palpitate endlessly.

How could someone who could produce such weapons and pills be an ordinary person?

Clearly, the white-robed man in front of him was not someone their Situ family could afford to provoke.

Situ Qingyi's beautiful eyes widened as well.

She didn't expect that this Big Brother Yi Feng, who had tagged along on their journey, possessed such incredible wealth.

Yi Feng had already noticed that the Situ family head was shocked by the pills and weapons.

But he didn't stop.

Since the Situ family head isn't speaking, it seems what I've given is still not enough.

Yi Feng casually tossed out ten high-grade cultivation manuals.

Is it enough now? Am I qualified to propose marriage? If you think it's still not enough, that's fine, I have more betrothal gifts to offer!

After saying that, Yi Feng directly took out a massive pile of treasures.

He revealed them one by one, smashing them onto the ground, causing a continuous cacophony of clattering sounds in the hall.

These treasures struck Situ Taili as if he were being bombarded by an endless barrage of heavenly lightning, and left all the Situ family members outside the hall completely dumbfounded.

Situ Qingyi was stunned, and even Cang Sheng was dumbstruck.

They hadn't expected Big Brother Yi Feng to be so domineeringly wealthy.

Although he knew Big Brother Yi Feng was very powerful, Cang Sheng realized he had still drastically underestimated him.

Looking at Situ Taili's sluggish appearance, Yi Feng said coldly, Do not use your arrogance and shallow understanding to casually judge others.

What does your insignificant Situ family amount to? If we're talking about being a good match and equal social status, your entire Situ family combined isn't even worthy of a single finger of Cang Sheng's!

Cang Sheng's eyes filled with tears of gratitude upon hearing this.

He knew exactly what kind of person he was, yet he never expected Big Brother Yi Feng to back him up so fiercely.

Influenced by Yi Feng, he couldn't help but straighten his back.

Situ Taili, however, was flushed red with stifled anger.

How could he not see that Yi Feng had a massive background?

This was undoubtedly someone coming to his door to slap his old face with these items.

How was this a marriage proposal? This was clearly coming to his door to humiliate him, the head of the Situ family.

Fellow Daoist, if you are truly here to propose marriage in good faith, you shouldn't use your power to oppress others, and you shouldn't belittle our Situ family like this!

Hearing this, Yi Feng showed neither joy nor sorrow.

The one using power to oppress others is not me, but your Situ family. I am merely giving you a taste of your own medicine. Moreover, I am not belittling your Situ family; I am simply stating the facts.

Cang Sheng, standing to the side, was incredibly anxious.

He had never seen the aloof Lord Situ with such an ugly expression.

Yet, in his heart, he was overwhelmingly moved that Big Brother Yi Feng, seeing him suffer injustice, came to the Situ family without a second word to seek justice for him.

Situ Taili, on the other hand, had a face as dark as iron.

He only felt the knot of frustration in his chest growing tighter.

As the head of the family, the blows he had endured today were more than all his past experiences combined.

His expression was ice-cold as he spoke in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, these items of yours are indeed very tempting, but I must ask you to take them back."

Situ Taili glanced at his beautiful daughter beside him.

He stated frankly, "To me, these items are nothing but worldly possessions. Although my Situ family might not catch your esteemed eye, we have our own wealth, enough to let Qingyi live a good life."

"As a father, it is my duty to ensure my daughter's happiness. Qingyi must marry someone who can care for her and protect her. Compared to these worldly possessions, I value the suitor's character and personal strength far more."

Situ Taili scrutinized Cang Sheng.

"I am not deliberately looking down on this boy, but this concerns Qingyi's lifelong happiness. At the very least, Cang Sheng must prove that he is worthy of her entrusting her life to him."

Hearing this, Yi Feng's face remained impassive, but his respect for Situ Taili rose slightly in his heart.

It would be no exaggeration to say that the treasures Yi Feng had thrown out could buy several Situ families.

Yet, this man had not agreed to the marriage because of these treasures.

This showed that he truly cared about his daughter's future.

It had to be said that, as a father, Situ Taili was highly competent and devoted.

"How do you want Cang Sheng to prove himself?" Yi Feng asked indifferently.

Situ Taili looked out of the hall and said slowly, "To protect Qingyi, he must at least be able to rank among the top ten of the Situ family's younger generation!"

Yi Feng calmly looked at Cang Sheng and asked, "Do you have confidence?"

Cang Sheng clenched his fists and nodded, his eyes filled with determination.

"Good!"

Yi Feng looked at Situ Taili.

"Then let's head straight to the arena!"

Situ Qingyi brought her hands to her chest, her face full of worry.

Cang Sheng had already been injured earlier, and now he had to step into the arena immediately. Moreover, his opponents would be the top ten of the family's younger generation. This was far too unfair to him.

"Father, Cang Sheng is already injured, and the top ten geniuses of our family are all older than him. How could he possibly win? Why must you make things so difficult for him?!"

Situ Taili looked at his daughter and spoke with earnest gravity: "Qingyi, how can marriage be treated as a child's game? If he truly proves himself, it means he can protect you. Only then can I agree to this marriage and entrust you to him with peace of mind. Otherwise, you two should give up on this idea entirely!"

Situ Qingyi still wanted to argue, but she was interrupted by Cang Sheng.

"Qingyi, Patriarch Situ is right. I must prove that I can protect you. Believe in me!"

"But..." Situ Qingyi tried to speak again, but Cang Sheng only gave her a bright, resolute smile.

Situ Qingyi let out a long sigh, knowing that no matter how she argued, her words would be pale and powerless.

Under the current circumstances, only if Cang Sheng defeated his opponents could she be with him.

Fortunately, her father had just stated that as long as Cang Sheng proved himself, he would agree to the marriage.

Situ Qingyi could only silently pray for Cang Sheng's victory.
