"The Wei family and the Huangfu family will hold an engagement ceremony for Wei Qianyuan and Huangfu Weixia at Donghai Hotel in three days!"
That morning, this news spread through the upper echelons of society in Donghai, even the Yangtze River Delta, and caused quite a stir in the upper society of the Southern Hemisphere!
Originally, the Wei family and the Huangfu family were just dominant forces in Donghai, not considered top-tier wealthy families in China or even the Southern Hemisphere. The marriage alliance between the two families would not have caused such a sensation, but Wei Qianyuan and Huangfu Weixia had special identities!
The former was a rising star in the Southern Hemisphere's political arena with unlimited future prospects, while the latter was one of the three most outstanding martial arts geniuses at Donghai Martial Arts Academy. Even in the entire Chinese martial arts world, she was considered a top-tier martial arts prodigy.
The union of these two individuals was equivalent to a strong alliance, complementing each other's future development paths and allowing the Wei and Huangfu families to achieve resource complementarity, which was of great significance.
However—
While this news caused a huge sensation, Huangfu Weixia, the person involved, was unaware of it. She was still immersed in the blow dealt to her by Jiang Wuming until Chu Feng called.
"Big Bear, are you really marrying Wei Qianyuan?"
As soon as the call connected, Chu Feng asked directly, his tone filled with shock.
He knew very well how much Huangfu Weixia liked Jiang Wuming.
He also understood Huangfu Weixia; he knew she wasn't the type of obedient daughter who followed her family's arrangements and that she had her own opinions.
Under such circumstances, Chu Feng believed that unless Huangfu Weixia agreed, the marriage alliance between the Wei and Huangfu families could not succeed, let alone spread the news.
"I'm not marrying him," Huangfu Weixia replied decisively.
"Ah—"
Chu Feng was bewildered. He first exclaimed, then asked with great confusion, "Since you're not marrying him, why are you getting engaged to Wei Qianyuan? Moreover, this news has already spread and caused a huge sensation!"
"Wh-what?!"
Huangfu Weixia was also shocked. She froze for a few seconds, then suddenly remembered that her father had mentioned the engagement during breakfast that morning. At that time, she was distracted and didn't know what she had said.
With this thought, Huangfu Weixia hung up the phone directly and immediately called Huangfu Qing.
"Weixia..."
"There are rumors outside that Wei Qianyuan and I are getting engaged. What's going on?"
Huangfu Weixia interrupted Huangfu Qing, her tone full of agitation.
"Weixia, I discussed this matter with you this morning, and you agreed to get engaged to Wei Qianyuan in three days—don't you remember?"
Huangfu Qing feigned ignorance, knowing that his daughter had been distracted that morning and had agreed almost unconsciously.
"I... I was emotionally unstable at the time and didn't hear you clearly."
Huangfu Weixia explained, then said, "Dad, I don't want to marry Wei Qianyuan. Cancel the engagement!"
"Nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Qing was instantly furious. "Weixia, do you think this kind of thing is child's play? You can just cancel it?"
"But..."
Huangfu Weixia tried to say something.
"No buts! This morning, I was very clear with you. I gave you the freedom to choose love, but you cannot marry for love. You also agreed to get engaged to Wei Qianyuan.
Now, the Wei family is already preparing for your engagement, and the news has spread, meaning the milk is already cooked. It cannot be canceled! Otherwise, what about the reputation of the Wei and Huangfu families?!"
This time, Huangfu Qing coldly interrupted Huangfu Weixia, then changed his tone to be gentle again.
"Weixia, whether you like Wei Qianyuan or not, and whether you must marry Wei Qianyuan in the future, the engagement cannot be changed. Don't make it difficult for your father and grandfather. Get engaged first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
"—"
Huangfu Weixia was rendered speechless.
Later, when she recovered and wanted to say something, Huangfu Qing had already hung up the phone.
Huangfu Weixia frowned, did not call Huangfu Qing back, but dialed Chu Feng's number.
"Chu Feng, my engagement with Wei Qianyuan was decided by my family. My dad talked to me about it this morning, but I was absent-minded and didn't listen carefully, so I casually agreed. As a result, he thought I agreed, and the news spread!"
Huangfu Weixia first explained the engagement to Chu Feng.
"Holy crap, this actually works?!"
Chu Feng exclaimed involuntarily. He felt that this matter was too childish.
"Chu Feng, I want to ask you for a favor," Huangfu Weixia said.
"What?"
Chu Feng was surprised. Huangfu Weixia had never spoken to him in such a tone!
"Please tell Teacher Wuming the truth about this matter. I don't want him to misunderstand," Huangfu Weixia said with courage.
"Hmm... I think it's better if you tell him yourself. He has a class this afternoon, and you can find him after class," Chu Feng said after thinking.
"Okay."
Huangfu Weixia felt that Chu Feng made sense.
As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at the time and found it was already twelve o'clock noon. Without waiting for Chu Feng to reply, she hung up the phone and went to wash up and get ready.
...
According to the arrangements of Donghai Martial Arts Academy, Jiang Wuming had a martial arts class at three o'clock that afternoon.
After the class schedule was released, students from Donghai Martial Arts Academy eagerly signed up.
Because Jiang Wuming, as a Nine-star Martial Artist, had instantly killed Akita Eiko, an absolute overlord among One-star War Gods, in a battle of life and death, defending the honor of China's martial arts world, his popularity soared in Donghai Martial Arts Academy and the entire Chinese martial arts community. He had become an idol for young martial artists!
Under such circumstances, no student from Donghai Martial Arts Academy would miss Jiang Wuming's class.
Not only that, but students from Yanjing Martial Arts Academy specifically went to the Kyoto Martial Arts Academy forum to inquire if they could attend Jiang Wuming's class. The response from the Academic Affairs Office of Donghai Martial Arts Academy was no.
Therefore, some students from Yanjing Martial Arts Academy jointly applied to the school, requesting Yanjing Martial Arts Academy to learn from Donghai Martial Arts Academy and hire Jiang Wuming as a visiting professor, so that they could attend his classes.
That noon, all students except Huangfu Weixia had signed up for Jiang Wuming's class.
At 2:40 PM, Jiang Wuming and Xia Dong walked out of Shenxianju Sword Valley and headed for the martial arts arena.
"Brother Wuming, why is Big Bear suddenly getting engaged to someone else, and she didn't even sign up for your class? What happened between you two?"
On the way, Xia Dong couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart.
She could sense Huangfu Weixia's affection for Jiang Wuming, and in the past period, she had guarded against Huangfu Weixia as if she were a thief.
"Nothing happened between us."
Jiang Wuming shook his head calmly, but his mood was somewhat complicated.
At this moment, he did not know that Huangfu Qing had orchestrated a misunderstanding between him and Huangfu Weixia to facilitate Huangfu Weixia's engagement with Wei Qianyuan.
Meanwhile.
The only girl who did not sign up for Jiang Wuming's class arrived at Donghai Martial Arts Academy as usual, wearing a fiery red martial arts uniform.
She wanted to die knowing the truth.
Even if Jiang Wuming truly disliked her, she wanted to hear him say it himself!
