If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

After Zong Xiaozhang finished speaking, Yu Bajue suddenly said with a serious expression, "Zong Ze, your grandmother was the eldest princess of the Jade Kingdom, and your mother is my own daughter. Although they were extremely noble in the Jade Kingdom, since they married into the Zong family, they are naturally members of the Zong family. Even if something happens, our Jade Kingdom can't say anything. But regarding Yu Xi, you must protect her well. She is different from your grandmother and mother!"

In fact, Zong Ze had already had some doubts about Yu Xi's identity, because when Yu Hua, Yu Xi's biological father, was evaluating him, Zong Ze personally heard Yu Hua address Yu Xi not as "Little Xi," but as "Miss!"

Hearing Yu Bajue's serious expression, Zong Ze couldn't help but sit up straight and listen to Yu Bajue's explanation: "Xiaoxi, how should I put it? She is a member of our Han family, but she is not exactly the same as us. She is a member of the Han family by blood!"

"Complete bloodline?" Zong Ze was puzzled!

"As I just mentioned, our Han family actually belongs to one of the twelve branches of the Wu clan. Every ten thousand years, each branch produces a person with a complete bloodline. The person with a complete bloodline will become the leader of that branch of the Wu clan in the future. None of us expected that this time, the person with a complete bloodline in our branch would be born into our Han family, and she is none other than Yu Xi!"

After hearing Yu Bajue's explanation, Zong Ze was even more puzzled: "Grandpa Yu, according to you, Yu Xi's status is incredibly noble, yet you betrothed her to me. Do you think I can protect her? Or... do you have other plans?"

Zong Ze's words were a bit impolite. Did he think Yu Bajue couldn't understand him? Your Wu Clan has twelve lineages, aren't you the descendants of the twelve Wu Ancestors? And those with complete bloodlines will become the leaders of a lineage, which means they will inevitably become one of the Wu Ancestors. With such a noble status, marrying her to me, a disciple of Bodhi, would be a good match. But the problem is, you don't even know my identity, so why would you marry her to me?

"I'm so glad you've thought of everything so thoroughly!" Yu Bajue said happily. "You're absolutely right. In reality, with your current situation, you're not good enough for Yu Xi at all. I can tell you with certainty that with Yu Xi's future achievements, even the so-called God of Light in this world, with his strength in that great plane, wouldn't be qualified to carry Yu Xi's shoes!"

"However!" Yu Bajue changed the subject: "Yu Xi is currently stranded on this Sacred Word Continent. If she can't return to that plane, everything else is meaningless! So no matter what achievements Yu Xi may make in the future, she must get married now. Otherwise, given her status, she will become increasingly noble and beautiful, which will only cause more turmoil!"

“By then, if we alarm the God of Light, it will be no small matter. Therefore, we must marry Yu Xi off. This is also a way to protect her!” When Yu Bajue said this, Zong Ze could feel the helplessness of the others in the room.

Yu Bajue continued, "However, even if Yu Xi insists on getting married, we must find her one of the most outstanding young talents on the continent. In the end, we discovered that this talent is actually in the Zong family, namely you, Zong Ze!"

“Me?” Zong Ze laughed: “Grandpa Yu, there’s a saying that goes, there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people. How can you be so sure that I am the most worthy talent of Yu Xi on the continent? Do you think that my future achievements can surpass that so-called God of Light?”

Zong Ze knew, of course. Xiao Hei had told him long ago that the God of Light was nothing but a fart. In the future, as long as Zong Ze ascended to immortality, he could destroy this so-called God of Light with a single breath. After all, this was just a minor plane. This God of Light was at most a Great Luo Golden Immortal, while any of Zong Ze's senior brothers were at least at the Luo Tian Shang Xian realm. Even Xiao Hei, this cheap nephew who only knew how to sleep all day and never died while cultivating, was a Great Luo Golden Immortal!

However, only Zong Ze himself knew these things, and the people in front of him would never know them. How could they dare to entrust Yu Xi's life to him?

"Hehe!" Yu Bajue laughed, and the others laughed too. Zong arrogantly said, "I didn't expect you to be so humble! Let me tell you, there's a reason why we think highly of you!"

"What's your basis? Tell me!" Zong Ze shrugged.

"Two reasons!" Zong arrogantly held up two fingers: "First, the God of Light made a divine decree. One of the external statements was that it was impossible for anyone to cultivate both magic and martial arts. The internal statement was that once someone cultivates both magic and martial arts and breaks through to the realms of Martial God and Archmage, that person will definitely become a god! So, think about it yourself, do you think you can break through?"

“I’ve answered that before!” Zong Ze nodded. “My master said that, let alone Martial God and Archmage! Even Martial Venerable and Grand Archmage are just a matter of time for me!”

"Yes, that's the first reason why we have high hopes for you!" Zong said arrogantly, "The only person in the entire Holy Word Continent who cultivates both magic and martial arts, and who is bound to break through to the Martial Venerable and Grand Magister realms, is anyone else who can do that besides you?"

"There really isn't!" Zong Ze nodded, thinking to himself, "Unless another transmigrator like me appears on this continent, and this transmigrator must possess a powerful cultivation technique!"

"Secondly!" Zong continued arrogantly, "We don't completely believe in the divine oracle of the God of Light, but we do have records passed down through generations of the Han family. These records clearly state that powerful witch clan leaders possess robust physiques; they can even shatter a mountain with a single punch. At the same time, they also possess terrifying magic; any spell they use can cause the heavens and the earth to collapse!"

"Think about it! A strong physique combined with terrifying magic, isn't that exactly the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts? And you, with the bloodline of the Witch Clan in your veins, and being a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, we have reason to believe that you have the opportunity to become the kind of powerful Witch Clan leader described in the inherited records!"

"So..." Zong Ze was about to speak when Yu Bajue interrupted him!

"Therefore, even if you are not a complete bloodline of the Witch Clan, you can still grow into one of the leaders of the Witch Clan. After all, even Yu Xi, who is a complete bloodline, is not a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts! It is precisely because of this that we decided to marry Yu Xi to you!"

"Damn! What a wonderful misunderstanding!" Zong Ze thought to himself, "How could I be the leader of some witch clan? I'm actually the disciple of Bodhi Patriarch, one of the big shots in the Immortal Realm!"

“However!” Yu Bajue said seriously, “Xiaoxi doesn’t know about these things. We don’t want to put too much pressure on her, so please help us keep it a secret from her. After all… she’s still young!”
