"My son and the sect disciple Zhao Min are deeply in love and have been in love for over five years! It is time for my son to marry and for the daughter to be wed. We are preparing to choose an auspicious day and time to welcome the bride over to our family."

Sure enough, Chu Feng had guessed it correctly.

Pu Fazheng is preparing to marry Zhao Min.

"This is a joyous occasion indeed, what do you need me to do?" Chu Feng asked with a smile after glancing at Pu Fazheng.

This guy appeared very shy, actually lowering his head with an embarrassed look on his face.

Even his face turned red.

Chu Feng watched with a secret amusement. Some men are more reserved and especially shy when it comes to matters between men and women.

But what is there really to it? Men and women reaching adulthood, dating, and getting married are all very normal things.

"Um... it’s like this, the new house, furniture, and other items have already been prepared. The girl’s parents are quite mercenary, and Liu Lang has been persistently bothering us. To facilitate this marriage, we must have a marriage intermediary, and this intermediary must be of significant status..."

As Pu Li spoke, Chu Feng understood.

Weddings are a major life event, particularly important for women.

Males fear entering the wrong trade; females fear marrying the wrong man—it’s no mere saying.

If a woman marries a bad husband, she suffers her whole life.

If a young couple likes each other but the girl’s parents disapprove of the boy, then it’s possible to invite someone of high status to act as a marriage intermediary.

It’s akin to borrowing money from a silversmith and finding a guarantor to vouch for it. If the borrower fails to return the money, the silversmith can directly approach the guarantor for payment.

The nature of a marriage intermediary is similar.

If the woman has a tough time in her married life, the intermediary needs to assume some responsibility.

Chu Feng holds a significant position in the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, likely the highest-ranked person Pu Li could ask.

"You want me to act as a marriage intermediary? Sure! When shall we go?" Chu Feng didn’t think much and agreed immediately.

"If it’s convenient, we leave the day after tomorrow. The girl’s family is in the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country’s Crimson Fire City, it should be possible to make the round trip in two days. I will prepare the betrothal gifts and marriage documents within these two days."

Liehuo City is not very far from the Vermilion Bird Imperial City.

If Chu Feng remembers correctly, Vermilion Bird’s Liehuo Sect is located near Crimson Fire City.

It, like the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, has over a million sect disciples and holds its own territory.

It is one of the Eight Great Sects of the Divine Martial Continent.

"Alright, we shall head to Crimson Fire City the day after tomorrow!" Chu Feng agreed cheerfully.

...

Two days later, Chu Feng, along with Pu Li and his son, accompanied by a few subordinate sword slaves, set off for Crimson Fire City.

Chu Feng, since he was acting as a marriage intermediary, naturally needed to make a grand appearance.

He took along Yan Qing and Han Dong.

Yan Qing, with Chu Feng’s support of elixirs over the past five years, had his cultivation sharply increase from a three-star Sword God to a five-star Sword God.

Although not particularly terrifying, he was already a considerably notable master.

Han Dong’s cultivation had likewise surged drastically, already reaching the peak of Sword Saint, comparable to Chu Feng.

Of course, this was because Chu Feng deliberately suppressed his cultivation; otherwise, he would have definitely advanced to the Sword God Realm long ago. It would be impossible for Han Dong to catch up to him.

Han Dong’s Shadowless Sword had been cultivated to the Ninth Level, reaching the realm of being shadowless and formless.

Killing invisibly.

He managed to rise from an Advanced Sword Master to the peak of the Sword Saint in just five to six years. At least half of the credit for this belongs to Chu Feng.

This point is also very clear to Han Dong himself.

His loyalty to Chu Feng has also grown even stronger.

This time, Chu Feng brought him out with the intention of letting him gain some exposure to the world. If there’s a suitable opportunity for him to advance to the Sword God Realm, that would be even better.

"Brother Dharma, don’t be too nervous, with my Family Head vouching for your marriage, it will surely succeed!" Han Dong usually doesn’t talk much, but perhaps seeing Pu Fazheng a bit unstable even in Sword Flight.

He almost fell from the sky several times.

Thus he spoke to comfort him.

"In the past, I also had some dealings with Liu Lang, and these few years he actually came to despise me. Otherwise, I could have advised him, forcing won’t make things sweet. Why insist on clinging to Zhao Min?"

Yan Qing also joined the conversation.

In the past, the relationship between Liu Lang and Yan Qing was quite good. Even Yan Qing was involved in a plan to deal with Chu Feng.

As it turned out, Chu Feng ended up winning Yan Qing over instead.

"Yan Qing, you should know Liu Lang’s situation very well. What is his family’s background like?" Chu Feng decided it was better to inquire clearly. This time, going to the Zhao Family to ask for a match, only success is allowed, not failure.

He did not want his first attempt at arranging a marriage to fail.

"Liu Lang’s father currently holds the office of the Right Imperial Censor in the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country, and is a real authority figure. His official rank is First-grade. Those uncles and other relatives are also either officials at the court or have certain powers locally. Thus, the Liu Family in Crimson Fire City is definitely considered a prominent and esteemed family."

"Don’t blame the Zhao Family for being keen on marrying their daughter to Liu Lang. It’s the universal compassion of parents; they also want their daughter to have a happy future."

The Right Imperial Censor is an important court official, specializing in accusing various offices, clarifying injustices, supervising regions, serving as the Emperor’s eyes and ears, and a director of public order.

Equivalent to the modern-day Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Imagine, such a person of heavy responsibility must wield immense power in the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country.

The civil and military officials are probably very few who dare to be enemies of the Right Imperial Censor.

At the very least, they will maintain surface-level friendly relations, to avoid being caught by the Right Imperial Censor and impeached before the Emperor.

"Being a First-grade Right Imperial Censor is not simple at all." After hearing this, Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

In the eyes of ordinary officials, a First-grade Right Imperial Censor might be really amazing and impressive. But in Chu Feng’s eyes, it really doesn’t count for much.

Even the Eight Virtuous Princes owe Chu Feng a huge favor.

And the Princess, an absolutely noble person in the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country, even within the Royal Family, her status is not low.

She wanted to recruit Chu Feng as a Third Grade God General.

As long as Chu Feng nodded, his status could rise above that of the Right Imperial Censor.

Pu Li and Pu Fazheng, upon hearing about the significant background of Liu Lang’s family, both felt nervous and feared failure.

...

A group of people, carrying the dowry, flew for nearly twelve hours before finally arriving at Crimson Fire City.

"Had I known that Sword Flight was so exhausting, I would have ridden Jin Que here," Chu Feng secretly remarked on the hardship.

In the past five years, every now and then, he would procure some Demon Beast Meat or inner cores for Jin Que to consume. Its growth rate has also been astonishing.

From an ugly duckling, it has transformed into a splendid and beautiful Jin Que.

Outsiders unaware still think it’s just a common peacock-demon bird. Only Chu Feng knows that this is one of the Primordial Species among peacocks. Its Divine Light, which no object can withstand, is indeed powerful.

Currently, Jin Que’s cultivation level is at the One-star Little Demon Level.

It has already been able to barely expel a Five-colored Divine Light. The power is terrifyingly strong.
