God Slayer Chronicles 20 Filibustering

He turned towards Yang Chi, who was over in the corner of the hall studying the tapestry, "Yang Chi, get up here and make your decision." While leaping over to the White Star Crystal, pocketing it.

"Old man, its only one stupid crystal… is that enough to sway you?!" Yang Chi mumbled, apparently the people of this world were magpies just waiting to swoop on the nearest treasure.

Personally, the treasure Yang Chi was most interested in was that Violet Clouded Sword, while the White Star Crystal was fancy and could increase one's cultivation, currently he did not need it, and to that, he also didn't want to be dependent on the Ki family.

The Sacred Blood Plant on the other hand, while it was indeed precious, and he planned on refining his body it didn't appeal to him. He felt like that the Shi clan, although had a footing in this world wasn't worthy in taking a place by his side when he collapsed the Wen Empire in on itself.

The Han Clan though, they were neither too powerful nor too weak. They were independent of other forces and also hadn't possessed enemies.

The Han Clan also resided in the neighboring Night-Water Kingdom, who were famed for their deadly predators that lived in the vast lakes that littered the land and emerged at night.

Yang Chi reached the Ancestor bowing to him, then turned on his heel to see the two parties that were awaiting his decision.

"Greeting Han and Shi Clans, I bid you the warmest of welcomes. I believe that while all parties in this dealing may not be completely satisfied, people cannot always be blessed by the heavens to the point of having the opportunity to marry into such esteemed families and beautiful women. So, I thank you for this opportunity." Yang Chi took a deep bow.

Madam Han had a smile on her face, while the Senior that accompanied Shi Nu nodded. Indeed, between heaven and earth, not all peoples could be satisfied.

"Long has my Yang Clan been under the yolk of corrupt and treacherous organizations such as the Dark Moon and Azure Cloud. It is by mere chance we were able to encounter a senior who blessed our clan so, helping the Elders and our glorious Ancestor."

"Now that we have encountered heavens fortune others clamor to our side, to try and form ties with our clan, Yang, like the sun we shall rise."

"But, when approaching a matter such as marriage, with such irreversible implications, which will lead to reciprocity between the two merging clans we need to stop and think."

The room went silent, hooked on Yang Chi's words.

"Is this right?"

The room gasped, was he trying to stop the marriage?

"Is it right? To take a leap and put our faith in another clan without knowing them? Moreover, is it right to join two souls in matrimony beneath the heavens that have no relation with each other, physical or emotional?"

"Perhaps. But perhaps not. The only thing I know is: we do what we do not only for our clan but for our unborn sons and daughters that will meet the light of the future and bring with it our hopes and dreams."

A heavy burden that filled both girls' hearts was suddenly lifted, although they married for their clan wouldn't it also be for their unborn children? Yes, a parent should do anything for their poten-tial child!

Every pair of eyes in the hall started to gleam, listening to the words.

"I hope the people that are here today, no matter where you end up in the future will remember my words. The children, spare them from our hate, bless them with our love and sacrifice for them our lives."

Everybody nodded in agreement.

"Now, excuse my words. They come from the heart, but they have less to do with today's matters than is expected." He chuckled, and the room laughed with him.

"Who shall I choose to marry, I see it in your eyes your all asking the question. I have a few ideas, but let me tell you, I don't know if they're the right ideas. I am just a child after all." He smiled, and a few laughs were heard from the crowd.

Yang Chi continued his speech for several hours, as the sun in the sky started to set, he kept going. Peoples legs began to ache, and everybody that had been grasped with the elegance and grandeur of the speech was now eagerly awaiting its conclusion.

"Now who shall I marry you ask, well let's talk about that. I'm not specifically marrying them, just engaging, but engagement is, of course, a prelude to marriage."

Yang Chi continued again, talking and talking. The people in the crowd were starting to become agitated, while his great-grandfather started at him with squinted eyes, he had forgotten that this was a n.o.ble reincarnator, but instead recognized him as a boy that was filibustering – buying for time!

"This d.a.m.n kid! Does he think that he can talk everyone into their graves?" he grumbled under his breath.

Seven hours later the sun began to rise again, its magnificent radiance lit the Yang Hall up, illuminating where the candles have burnt out.

The senior of the Shi Clan had bloodshot eyes, and his hair was disheveled. His lips were trembling, and hands were shaking.

This boy! He'd been giving a speech from sunset till rising! Was he discussing the Dao with an unparalleled master? No!

"Enough!" he screamed unable to take it anymore, he picked up the young Shi Hu with one arm and burst out of the door. Screaming obscenities as he walked down the red brick path he then shot off into the sky, disappearing for good.

Even Yang Chi himself was tired, he currently had a warm smile on his face though, "It appears that the Han Clan values patience?" he raised his eyebrow asking the two women were wobbling.

"Young man, you're trying to root out the weeds?" Madam Han's glare lightened.

"Madam Han doesn't realize, the greatest tool in a cultivator's a.r.s.enal is often his words. I would tell the tale of Ji Yan, who tricked the heavens with his Dao of lies, but I fear you want to hear something else?" Yang Chi chuckled for a moment.

"I accept the marriage proposal of the Han Clan if the rest of your clan holds the cunning and patience you do I would very much like to see the mutual benefits it brings in the feature… I mean future. Forgive me the fatigue is getting to me." Yang Chi said as his eyes started to close, exhausted from his speech.

Swish!

As he fell to the floor Yang Gou caught him smiling, indeed while he was an ancient powerhouse, he was still his descendant! And as Yang Chi said himself, we birth our children to for fill our hopes and dreams!
