Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 511 - 473: Am I joking or are you?_1

Li Ruohan looked at Li Wencheng and shouted indignantly, "Why! If Duan Shuiliu won this martial contest for marriage, would you also let him marry into our family?"

Li Wencheng said with a cold face, "Their situations are different. The Shuiliu family is at least a martial arts aristocratic family, and ancestors of his have been several well-known experts. They match our Li family in terms of status. If he marries you, naturally, there’s no need for him to marry in."

"But Sun Jiahao is from an ordinary family, with no background whatsoever, and no one in his family is famous. For him to marry you, that would be marrying above his status, so it is normal for him to marry in."

"Moreover, he must hand over that Earth Rank top grade martial arts skill he used during the contest as a bridal gift to our Li family. Otherwise, I still won’t agree to the two of you being together!"

Li Ruohan’s eyes began to fill with tears of injustice, as she had never imagined her father could be such an unreasonable man.

The onlookers who were watching the commotion couldn’t help but feel indignant on behalf of Li Ruohan and Sun Jiahao upon hearing Li Wencheng’s words.

"This Li Wencheng is really shameless! The guy beat his most proud disciple. Just this strength and talent alone make him one in ten thousand. Such an outstanding person would be sought after anywhere. Many people might willingly offer their daughters in marriage to him, and yet Li Wencheng wants him to be a son-in-law marrying into their family. It’s absurd!"

"Exactly! To have such a prized son-in-law and still not be satisfied, greedily coveting his Earth Rank top grade martial arts skill; is this a marriage or a trade transaction he’s conducting with his daughter?"

"Damn it, if I were him, I’d just walk away. With such ability, one would never worry about finding a wife! Then it would be Li Wencheng who regrets it."

...

Sun Jiahao also didn’t expect that after winning the martial contest for marriage, he would still face such difficulties from Li Wencheng. He turned to Li Ruohan, reached out to wipe away her tears, and said, "It’s okay, I don’t mind marrying in. As long as I can be with you, a little humiliation is nothing. But the Earth Rank martial arts skill was taught to me by Big Brother Lu Chuan. I can’t just impart it to anyone without his permission, so whether I can use it as a bridal gift, I’ll need to seek Big Brother Lu Chuan’s opinion."

Li Ruohan shouted, "This is completely unfair to you!"

Li Wencheng, listening to the crowd’s discussion and the reactions of Sun Jiahao and Li Ruohan, also felt somewhat guilty. But since he originally disliked Sun Jiahao, and even though the latter had shown unexpected strength, he didn’t think Sun Jiahao was comparable to Duan Shuiliu. He felt it was already generous of him to agree to let them be together. Thus, he thought it was entirely appropriate to make some demands.

With this in mind, he suddenly regained his confidence and no longer cared what others said about him. He brazenly declared, "In any case, this kid has no status, no background. If he wants to marry my daughter, he must agree to these conditions, or there’s nothing to discuss!"

At that moment, a voice rang out leisurely, "Who says he has no background?"

Li Wencheng turned his head to look, finding that the speaker was the young man who had come along with Sun Jiahao. His face immediately showed a trace of contempt as he said, "I have thoroughly investigated his background. Am I not aware if he has one or not? And who are you, daring to speak up for him?"

Lu Chuan took a couple of steps forward and said, "I’m his teacher."

Initially, Sun Jiahao had wanted to take Lu Chuan as his master, but Lu Chuan didn’t want to make a big deal of it. After all, he was only there to help this star-crossed couple in order to obtain the Yang Restoration Stone, so he refused Sun Jiahao.

But now, hearing Li Wencheng looking down on Sun Jiahao like this, he really couldn’t stand idly by. That’s why he stepped forward and claimed to be Sun Jiahao’s teacher.

Sun Jiahao stared blankly at Lu Chuan, uncertain of what he intended to do.

Upon hearing those words, Li Wencheng was taken aback for a moment, then gave Lu Chuan a few more looks, scoffed, and said, "You’re not going to tell me that you’re his backing, are you?"

Lu Chuan nodded and said, "Indeed, you should feel fortunate that your daughter has the opportunity to marry my disciple, yet you want him to marry into your family. You truly don’t know what’s good for you!"

Li Wencheng burst into laughter and said, "You might indeed have some abilities to have improved Sun Jiahao to this level in such a short time, but in my eyes, you’re nothing more than a greenhorn kid. Do you really think you can bridge the gap between our two families with just your strength? Stop joking around!"

Without hesitation, Lu Chuan released the terrifying pressure of a Nascent Soul Stage expert and said indifferently, "Is it I who am joking, or is it you?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Feeling this pressure, Li Wencheng’s complexion drastically changed as a feeling of deep dread washed over him, causing his body to be instantly drenched in cold sweat. Had he not clenched his teeth and held on, he would have been driven by an urge to kneel and beg Lu Chuan for mercy.

He had once been fortunate enough to witness a Profound Realm skillful expert, and now the pressure emanating from Lu Chuan was far more terrifying than that of the skillful expert.

This meant that this young man, who appeared to be about the same age as Sun Jiahao, was even more formidable than the skillful expert in the Profound Realm!

The Profound Realm, to a small place like White City, was something that was the stuff of legends, and Li Wencheng often took pride in having seen a Profound Realm expert, frequently boasting to others.

Everyone around, after feeling the pressure from Lu Chuan, was extremely frightened. Previously, there were those who thought Lu Chuan was joking when he claimed to be Sun Jiahao’s master due to his young age, but now no one dared to doubt after experiencing this pressure.

Li Wencheng looked at Lu Chuan warily. He simply could not afford to offend someone of this level, but he did not want to yield so easily. After a moment of thought, he brazenly said, "I didn’t expect someone of your young age to possess such horrific strength. I indeed underestimated you. Your strength is formidable, and even if you don’t regard my family in any way, I dare not speak out, but you are you, and Sun Jiahao is Sun Jiahao. Even if you say you are his master, surely you can’t stay by his side forever? If you can’t provide him with lasting protection, you can’t count as his backing, so he still can’t earn my regard."

Lu Chuan was speechless, feeling that this old man was being completely unreasonable. With no other choice, he said, "What if I tell you that I hold the positions of both Chairman of the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association and Profound Sect Leader, and that Sun Jiahao is my disciple, would that earn your regard?"

Li Wencheng curled his lips and said, "Can you stop joking? I’m not a three-year-old child. You can’t fool me just by spouting a couple of titles. For someone your age to hold those positions would be a fantasy. Moreover, the headquarters of the Martial Arts Association has recently updated the information on all associations and sects. I just have to check to know if you are lying. Only a fool would believe in such tricks!"

Lu Chuan said indifferently, "Then you might as well go check quickly, don’t waste time."

Li Wencheng frowned, looked at Lu Chuan, who did not seem to be joking, and began to have doubts. Yet, he believed that no matter how capable the young man was, it would be impossible to falsify information published by the Martial Arts Association headquarters, and he saw no harm in checking, so that he could then expose Lu Chuan’s lies in front of everyone.

Consequently, he arranged for a disciple standing beside him to check the information on the Chairman of the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association and the Profound Sect Leader.

The disciple hurried into the martial arts hall, and roughly ten minutes later, came out with some documents.

However, contrary to his demeanor when he had entered, this disciple now had a look of panic, unsteady steps, as if shook by some shock, and could barely walk straight.

As he walked, he stole glances at Lu Chuan. Upon realizing that Lu Chuan was watching him, he became even more frightened; stumbling, he fell right in front of Li Wencheng, ending up face-down in a most ungraceful manner.
