Martial Peak

Zuo Qiu Ming took a glance at Tao Ling Wan and added, “I’m sure Martial Niece Tao won’t mind it either.”

A blushing Tao Ling Wan hung her head low and remained silent.

Chen Xiu quickly waved his hands, “She definitely won’t mind it. The more the merrier.”

After a nod, Zuo Qiu Ming gazed at Yang Kai, “Martial Nephew, you have the final say in when to hold the wedding. When your partners come together one day, and you happen to be free, you have to inform us earlier. We’ll hold a grand wedding for you.”

A grateful Yang Kai cupped his fist, “Many thanks, Sect Master. I will not forget this favour.”

Zuo Qiu Ming ran his fingers through his beard, “Since we’re one family, you don’t have to be overly polite with me. Although you come from a less desirable background, your capabilities are unrivalled among the disciples from the Cave Heavens and Paradises of the same generation. We are fortunate to have you get married into Yin-Yang Cave Heaven.”

Chen Xiu played along by saying, “That’s right. Although there are a lot of bright disciples from the Cave Heavens and Paradises in this generation, and they will be the pillars of strength in their respective Sects in the future, none of their achievements are comparable to yours, Nephew Yang. Senior Brother Xu does have acute vision, and Martial Niece Qu is truly lucky.”

Yang Kai frowned, “Sect Master, I have a request when it comes to getting married into your Sect.”

“Go ahead,” Zuo Qiu Ming replied.

“It wouldn’t have mattered if I were on my own. I would’ve been more than willing to get married into Yin-Yang Cave Heaven and rely on your Sect; however, I’m sure you’re aware of my situation. As the Lord of Void Land and the Palace Master of High Heaven Palace, I have to provide for hundreds of thousands of people. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for me to get married into Yin-Yang Cave Heaven.”

“What’s not appropriate about it?” Zuo Qiu Ming asked.

Yang Kai said, “Let me ask you, Sect Master. If I get married into your Sect, what will happen to Void Land and High Heaven Palace?”

Zuo Qiu Ming replied, “They will become subsidiaries of Yin-Yang Cave Heaven.”

On the side, Chen Xiu said, “Nephew Yang, there are some precedents that are similar to your situation. Many of the subsidiaries of Yin-Yang Cave Heaven belong to Sect Masters who got married into our Sect, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you get married into our Sect, you’ll still have full control over Void Land and High Heaven Palace, and we won’t interfere in any way. It’s just that there’s a Master Sect on paper. Moreover, with Yin-Yang Cave Heaven’s protection, Void Land and High Heaven Palace will be safer. This is a good thing.”

Yang Kai shook his head, “Let’s put Void Land aside for now. Void Land might be fairly powerful compared to other great forces, but it’s still insignificant when compared to the Cave Heavens and Paradises. Nevertheless, High Heaven Palace is different. The World Tree in the Star Boundary is the centre of attention in the entire 3,000 Worlds. The Cave Heavens and Paradises have all set up Dao Temples in the Star Boundary, and there are senior experts who look for disciples with excellent aptitudes in that place year round. It’s the same case for Yin-Yang Cave Heaven. If High Heaven Palace becomes a subsidiary of Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, the Star Boundary will be your Sect’s territory as well. Even if I am fine with that, the other Cave Heavens and Paradises won’t agree to it.”

Zuo Qiu Ming said, “If that’s what you’re worried about, you can set your mind at ease. We’ll deal with it appropriately so that the other great forces won’t have any complaints.”

Yang Kai shook his head again, “It’s still inappropriate.”

of what Zuo Qiu Ming and Chen Xiu said, once Void Land and High Heaven Palace became subordinate Sects of Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, there would be complications. As the leader of both Sects, Yang Kai had to take their future into
