"Did you hear that, Ming? We're going to become one family with the Jiang Spear Manor!" Wei An laughed, even jumping up and down in excitement."Hahaha, my little sister's beauty really is extraordinary. She even managed to catch the attention of the young master of the Jiang Spear Manor." Shu Ming was just as delighted."This engagement hasn't even been made official yet. Why are you two so excited?" Shu Lin snorted.She was the one being betrothed to the young master of a major family, yet her mother and brother were far more enthusiastic about it than she was."Patriarch Jiang himself was the one who requested this, so there's no way this engagement can be called off." Wei An was certain that there was no possibility of the engagement being canceled."Hmph. If even the Manor Patriarch wants this, and he's even using it as a condition for helping our family, doesn't that mean the third young master is so disappointing to the Patriarch that he has to find a wife for his own son?" Shu

Shu Fang Yun had no intention of waiting for the martial artists hired by the ship owners to arrive and deal with the problem. He needed to reach Jianghu City as soon as possible.Because of that, he intended to deal with the beast himself. However, something occurred to him when he looked at his two sons, Shu Ming and Shu Xiang."Shu Ming, Shu Xiang, the two of you will deal with the beast."Hearing that, Shu Ming was stunned, while Shu Xiang raised an eyebrow."Honey, isn't that too dangerous?" Wei An didn't like the idea. "If it were a land beast, then it wouldn't be a problem, but this one is in the water.""I'll be there to supervise you personally. If the two of you can't handle it, I'll immediately step in and help.""I'll do it, Father." Shu Ming nodded, smiling confidently."If that's what you want, Father, then fine." Shu Xiang had no other choice.Now, Shu Xiang, Shu Ming, and Shu Fang Yun stood at the edge of the river, each with a bamboo raft in front of them."Patriarch,

The dozen or so wind blades Shu Xiang unleashed pierced through the giant eel's body, leaving more than a dozen holes in the demon beast's head and body.Yet the demon beast was still alive. The immense pain from its wounds caused its body to convulse violently, releasing a massive amount of electrical energy.If Shu Xiang stepped into the water or even onto the pieces of wood floating beneath him, he would still be struck by electricity of such terrifying voltage, even if he covered his body with Qi energy.He quickly performed a downward slash, creating a wind blade that cut through the water and sent the floating pieces of wood flying upward.Although the pieces of wood still carried traces of electricity, it was extremely weak compared to the current flowing through the water.Shu Xiang knocked several pieces of wood away with his sword, sending them flying more than a dozen meters.This immediately created a line of floating wooden fragments.Shu Xiang used them as stepping stone

Jiang Hu City was the capital of Sujiang Province and the location of Jiang Spear Manor, the ruler of Sujiang Province.Jiang Spear Manor was highly respected, naturally because their strength was beyond that of any other organization in Sujiang Province. They were the only faction in the province to possess a King-level martial artist—the Manor Patriarch himself, Jiang Du.Today, Jiang Spear Manor was livelier than usual because an engagement ceremony was about to be held between the Third Young Master and the Young Lady of the Shu Family.Normally, it was the man's family that would visit the woman's family to propose the marriage and bring the engagement gifts. However, things were slightly different in this world.That custom only applied when both families had equal status. When there was a difference in status, the family with the lower status would be the one to visit the other.Therefore, it was the Shu Family that would be coming to the Jiang Family. However, the groom would

Suddenly, a young woman whom Shu Xiang didn't know, and had no idea why she was attacking him, struck at him with her spear.Even so, Shu Xiang was certain that this young woman had an extraordinary background. Perhaps she was a Young Lady of Jiang Spear Manor, or maybe the Young Lady of another prominent family visiting the residence.Shu Xiang engaged her in close combat, relying purely on weapon skills without using Qi energy at all.The young woman also had no idea who this young man was, but she was amazed by his extraordinary abilities. She enjoyed the fight so much that she didn't want it to end."Y-Young Lady, he is the Young Master of the Shu Family! Please stop attacking him! He is an important guest." The female servant tried to intervene, though she actually kept backing away.If Shu Xiang were injured, she might be blamed for it. She didn't want to be fired over something that wasn't even her fault."Oh, so you're the Young Master of the Shu Family?" The young woman's smi
